Conspiracy meets reality: "Guardians of the Free Republics" serving notice on all 50 governors. Thoughts?
So I stumbled on this story yesterday about a (what I would characterize as some variation of a religious tea partyish group) who are (or think they are) attempting to make a populist end run on our corporatocracy through some set of citizen maneuvers for the purpose of restoring constitutional government. I’m fuzzy on their plan, but it involves serving notices on the 50 governors, the military and the Supreme Court. Well, apparently, they’ve actually started doing it! There are two articles in two Nevada papers that talk about the governor’s office being locked down as a precaution. See here and here.
What I find I interesting about the second article is that it characterizes the group as “anarchist” when their own statements on their Web site plainly contradict that assertion.
There’s some inside audio of these people talking about there plan that sounds fairly far out there, but I guess they’re taking it seriously.
So whaddya think about this one? I guess on one level that it doesn’t mean much that a group sends letters to governors, but it’s been interesting to me to hear the audio first and then see the news stories a day or two later.
