Good Morning Newsgroup Readers,

I reference my previous post "!!New Militia Bust-- Brookville Tiger
Militia!!" of 080612.

Today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the only militiaman
associated with last weeks bust of the Brookville Tiger Militia to be
let out of jail on bail has been taken back into custody for violating
the terms of his bail. Militiaman Kahle was not supposed to be in
possession of either firearms or explosives while awaiting trial, but
was found with more explosives in his possession just days after his
release on bail.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette [PA], 080621.

A Clearfield County man accused of being part of a militia who was
released on bond is back in jail after court officers found another
explosive device in his home.

Bradley Kahle, 60, of Troutville, faces weapons charges in federal
court. Prosecutors say he gave undercover agents explicit instructions
on how to make what he called "bean can grenades."

Good Evening Newsgroup Readers,

Late yesterday news services began caring articles on a new militia bust
in western Pennsylvania. By this morning and afternoon, the news
articles were more substantive about unfolding events.

At least five militia men from two or three militias in western
Pennsylvania were arrested last weekend on a variety of charges
including illegal weapons and explosives. According to the two articles
below, at least two militias, the Brookville Tiger Militia and the 91st
Warrior Militia, were involved. These two militias have not been known
before. Later this afternoon, a few articles (not reproduced here) were
mentioning a possible third militia group called the PA Citizens Militia.

The articles below from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Wilkes Barre
Times-Leader give a general idea of the situation as of this evening.
The 'exploding golf balls' (sic) at least add a comic element to another
sordid militia bust. I note that former MAM newsgroup participant Mark
Pitcavage was interviewed for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article.

I will, naturally, be posting further on the events as developments require.

Good Afternoon Newsgroup Readers,

I reference my numerous postings on Militiaman Ron Cole of the Colorado
1st Light Infantry from ca. 1998 through 2001.

Yesterday's Toledo Blade carried the following article on the most
recent conviction of Militiaman Ron Cole for criminal activity.

Militiaman Cole gained a considerable national reputation in the militia
movement in the late 1990s. During the Freeman standoff he attempted to
break into their compound to help them during the siege. Later he gained
national publicity protesting during the trial of mass murder Tim
McVeigh. Arrested on numerous firearms charges in 1998, he plead guilty
and spent two years in federal prison. On his release he said he had
turned Branch Davidian and claimed to be the successor of David Koresh
in 2001.

Now he has been convicted of another felony, but one hardly related to
political activity. Mr. Cole has been convicted of credit card fraud!
My, my, how the once militia mighty leader has fallen.

Good Morning Newsgroup Readers,

I reference my numerous previous posts in threads !!New Militia Bust--
Alabama Free Militia!!, !!New Militia Guilty Pleas-- Alabama Free
Militia!!, and !!New Militia Sentencings-- Alabama Free Militia!!.

I am delighted to reproduce the following from today's Birmingham News
on the sentencing of Alabama Free Militia militiaman William Hudson to
two years in prison for manufacturing machine guns.

Val Walton, `Accused Alabama Free Militia Leader Sentenced to 22
Months,` Birmingham News [AL], 080403.

A man described as the leader of the Alabama Free Militia, a group whose
members stockpiled weapons, received a 22-month prison sentence Wednesday.

U.S. District Judge Karon Bowdre handed down the sentence to William J.
Hudson, 57, who pleaded guilty in October to a charge of making a
machine gun.

"A machine gun has very little use other than destruction," Bowdre said
before sentencing Hudson in Birmingham's federal court.

BTW: I read of a "biggy" inside Scientology with very similar name to
one that used to harass this NG!
HUH?
Did CIA/FBI infiltrated Scientology?

This would answer a lot of questions!
