'International' FBI Meets
With Militia - A Citizen
Special Report
From Joe Burton <SBurton3@aol.com>

After a highly successful recruitment drive and rally hosted by the Militia of East Tennessee (M.E.T.) on June 11th and 12th, agents of the FBI requested a meeting. The meeting was held on Thursday,June 17th at the local Hardees restaurant in Madisonville Tennessee. Attending were several members of the M.E.T. 3rd brigade command and support staff, including myself. Representing the FBI were three agents composed of a psychologist from Knoxville, a field agent from Chattanooga and an HRT sniper from Cleveland, Tennessee.
 
After a brief initial meeting inside, the agents were invited to the parking lot for open dialogue. I was proud to present all three agents with document packages and a past issue of Free American magazine that publisher Clay Douglas had left with us, in a private meeting the week prior. Additionally I gave them my calling card.
 
Our Commander had them introduce themselves and the psychologist opened the conversation with a statement that they were there because of concerns they had, that the wrong elements could become involved with our movement. We in turn made assurances we did not intend to allow that to happen. We clearly stated our objectives were to lawfully defend our Nation from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. It is my contention these agents were here more for threat analysis than for our concern or benefit, though that remains to be seen at present. I base my conclusion after careful study and documentation some of which I will attach at the end of this article. I also think, that analysis is accurate based on the makeup of this three man team.
 
After the psychologist spoke, I made the following statement: Gentlemen I have recently returned from Waco, Texas where I attended memorial services for the Branch Davidians who were brutally massacred in their church/home. I also fellowshipped with several of the survivors, whom I found to be good Christian people. Having said that, I note that Senate hearings were indeed held to prevent this type of tragedy from ever occurring again. Yet indeed most recently we have had incidents in Andrews, North Carolina where the FBI and MJTF members used military choppers to harass some of the Citizens of that community in clear violation of Posse Comitatus, under the direction of Terry Terchie. Indeed also your agents have been stopped by State Troopers with open containers of alcohol in their vehicles, while serving under Terchies replacement Woody Enderson. It seems to me this agency has learned nothing from it's past mistakes. You people work for us and lately your job performance has been less than acceptable!
 
The psychologist responded if indeed these events did occur and I'm not doubting your words, it is unfortunate. We are here again over concerns that bad elements could infiltrate your organization and we understand there are concerns regarding y2k, though we feel it will not be a major event.
 
I asserted those events had happened and I told him I had several military documents that show quite clearly, the military expects y2k to be a major event, with plans to predeploy troops under the auspices of the United Nations. He seemed quite startled by that comment. Further I stated for them to check Army field manual 41-10, second chapter, paragraph two, where it is verified the military is serving the New World Order, said document being printed in 1993.
 
I told them I also resented their director, Louis Freeh using his position as a bully pulpit to attack members of any religion. The Christian Identity religion was recently singled out by him in public statements. I told them, whether we agree with this religion or not, none of us were going to stand by and let what happened to the Davidians happen ever again to any denomination. That line has already been clearly drawn I stated. I also told them that when mans law conflicted with Gods law, I had no other choice but to follow Gods laws every time.
 
I pressed the field agent as to what his region was. He stated he didn't know what I was talking about. I said, you are living in denial, surely you know about the loss of state sovereignty through the formation of the 10 federal regions. No, he said, we hardly ever go to Atlanta. His face turned red as he realized what he had said.
 
I said gentlemen you are fully aware the FBI has become a global organization with global surveillance. As investigators, you are off to a flying start in that you have documentation in your hands as to the truth of what is happening in our Nation. I hope you will take the time to review and corroborate this evidence for both yours and your families sake as well as our Nations. Our nation is in dire distress!
 
I was very proud of each of our members who also spoke openly, with conviction regarding some of the following topics: gun control,UN,NWO,loss of Constitution and Bill of Rights,martial law,tyranny,land grabs,Chinese espionage,unlawful executive orders,emergency war powers,lack of representation and redress,military training to take over cities, etc.
 
After our Commander concluded the meeting with a statement that indeed we were law abiding Citizens ready to defend our Nation, we spoke with the agents somewhat individually. I flipped partially through the document pack with the HRT sniper and reiterated the present danger this country faces and with that I left.
 
What I now dearly pray, is that these agents will review the evidence and decide this countries and our childrens future is worth much more than a tyrants paycheck! In God we do trust !!
 
For God and Country I am:

* Excerpted
 
Under Presidential Decision Directive 39 (June 1995) federal efforts to combat terrorism are organized along a lead agency concept. The Department of Justice, through the FBI, is the lead federal agency for crisis management of domestic terrorist incidents and for pursuing, arresting, and prosecuting the terrorists. For managing the consequences of domestic terrorist incidents, state and local authorities are primarily responsible. If federal assistance is requested, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is the lead federal agency for consequence management. FEMA coordinates this federal support through the Federal Response Plan, which outlines the roles, responsibilities, and emergency support functions of various federal agencies for consequence management. The National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counterterrorism at the National Security Council is charged with coordinating the broad variety of relevant policies and programs, including such areas as counterterrorism, preparedness, and consequence management for CBRN terrorist incidents.

The Foreign- and Domestic-Origin Terrorism Threat in the United States
 
1. Terrorist bombings of the World Trade Center in New York City in 1993 and the federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995 have elevated concerns about terrorism in the United States. Previously, the focus of U.S. policy and legislation had been on international terrorism abroad and airline hijacking. Intelligence agencies continuously assess the foreign and domestic terrorist threats to the United States. The U.S. foreign intelligence community, which includes the Central Intelligence Agency and others, monitors the foreign-origin terrorist threat to the United States.2 In addition, the FBI gathers intelligence and assesses the threat posed by domestic sources of terrorism. ___________________
 
2. The intelligence community includes the Office of the Director of Central Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, the Defense Intelligence Agency and other offices within the Department of Defense and the military services, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of theTreasury, the Department of Energy, the Bureau of Intelligence and Research of the Department of State, and such other elements of any department or agency as may be designated by the President or jointly by the Director of Central Intelligence and the head of the department or agency concerned.
 
What is important about these assessments is the very critical distinction between what is conceivable or possible and what is likely in terms of the threat of terrorist attack. While concerns about terrorist use of CBRN weapons were heightened by an apocalyptic sect's use of a nerve agent in the Tokyo subway in 1995, terrorists are still reportedly more likely to use conventional weapons. According to the U.S. intelligence community, conventional explosives and firearms continue to be the weapons of choice for terrorists, at least partly because chemical and biological agents are more difficult to weaponize and the results are unpredictable.
 
On average, from 1992 through 1998, there were fewer than four terrorist incidents in the United States each year , according to FBI statistics. Figure 1 provides FBI data on the number of terrorist incidents in the United States during the 1992-98 period, none of which were CBRN attacks.3 _________________
 
3. FBI defines a terrorist incident as a violent act or an act dangerous to human life, in violation of the criminal laws of the United States, or of any state, to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof.
