| I have just finished
reading the Indictment on the "Hutaree". The
only thing I got out of it was "Seditious
Conspiracy" is all the Feds have in order to
prosecute the men. No mention of a "CI" (confidential
informant) in the indictment. No evidence of a physical
crime. So I guess they are being prosecuted for talking a
bit too much. After all... conspiracy is when two people
or more discuss committing a crime. |

| It has been written that the federal
government has never won a sedition case against militia-types, white
supremacists, or neo-Nazis. Since World War One, they have won numerous
seditious conspiracy cases against Puerto Rican independentistas,
communists and others on the left. But no one on the radical right has
ever been convicted of plotting to overthrow by force of arms the
government of the United State of America. |
| Here is the definition of
"Seditious Conspiracy" from Cornell University Law School: |
| If two or more persons in any State or
Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United
States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the
Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose
by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay
the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take,
or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority
thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more
than twenty years, or both. |
