    Militia Hearing before Senate, dated 1995

    I searched the Bearing Arms sub-forum for the word "militia" and didn't see this. I just discovered JJ Johnson this morning while searching youtube videos for "Tea Party 08." (I was looking for new, promotional videos for this event (Where are they?!) Somehow I clicked on related videos until I found something militia related, lol ).

    Here's some videos of the entire hearing (takes about an hour and twenty minutes):

    Part One, google vid
    Part 2, Google vid

    Footage of just James Johnson (about 16 minutes altogether)

    J.J. Johnson part one, youtube vid
    Part two
    part three

    When I first started watching these videos, I thought this was a recent hearing. I looked at the date, 1995.

    This hearing could have taken place yesterday. Nothing has changed in the way government operates since the Clinton era.

    I don't have time to watch them, what point are you trying to make?

    I believe they were "anti-terrorism" hearings and there were representatives of the popular militia's in 1995 testifying their purpose and intent before the senate.

    I'm not quite done the first video, but so far the members of the militia have been pointing out how important the militia is to the existence of our government and how the government was (this is back in 1995) beginning to become tyrannical.

    I'm at the point were a senator tries to get a member of the militia to make statements that can be misconstrued as support for the Oklahoma city bombing. The member of the militia refuses to play his game. The senator tries to turn it around by saying that he is offended by being accused of representing corruption because he is losing his argument.

    Of course these guys are saying it has become tyranical. The writing was on the wall. Look at the federal governments harrassment or murders of Ruby Ridge, Waco, John Lennon, MLK jr. and on and on and on. No I'm not takling conspiracy either.

    No points to be made, really. Just sharing something I found to be interesting.

    If you want to speculate with me, however:

    I think the militia will experience a resurfacing, and when the politicians start trying to stamp it out, this video will be like deja vu. Word-for-word these same tired arguments against the militia will be spewed out, and we the people will be left to answer questions as to why we deserve our rights—a rediculous situation to be in, in spite of our country's alleged "freedom."
