Alaska Militia Men Arrested For Plotting To Kidnap Cops

Meet Francis Cox:

Cox was addressing a crowd of about 150 militia members and supporters in March at the Second Amendment/Constitutional Task Force, held in Kenai. His speech was laced with Sovereign Citizen code.

"God gave you rights, just as a human being He didn't give rights to a government that they can then give to you if they want, which would leave you begging at the feet of government as a subject. As a sovereign, you have the right to life, liberty and property, and a corresponding individual duty to protect those rights," Cox said.

"My greatest fear is that they're not going to hear us until we speak to them in their language, which is force," Cox said. "America is headed to bloody force. If we sit on our hands until it hits the fan and it's go time, we won't be able to exercise that warlike force with a clear conscience. So we need to be very faithful with what's at hand right now.

"I am not opposed to violent, bloody force."

Cox echoed that endorsement of revolutionary violence during an interview with Andrew Sheeler for a January article in the UAF Sun Star about Cox deliberately violating university regulations by carrying a handgun on campus. "[The government] doesn't operate under the rule of law, they operate under the rule of force. My greatest fear is the only time they are going to hear us is when we speak their language," Cox said.

"If there was a gun ban in the city of Fairbanks, that's an act of war. And it would have to be met with war. And we are prepared to do that, we won't back down on that principal. We would spill blood before we let that happen."

This man was arrested Thursday as part of a plot to kidnap and possibly kill police in Fairbanks, Alaska. He says he's a "sovereign citizen," and not subject to government regulations on things like say, gun control. He was planning a massive action against the government there. Sounds like he was serious.

I bet you won't see Pete King have a Congressional hearing about these guys. Bet you didn't even read this in your paper. If this guy had been a Muslim, or a hippy even, I bet you'd have had both. This gets glossed over though. Kind of like how King and his backers ignore David Koresh, the Unabomber, and McVeigh. I guess ignorance is bliss, and makes arguing falsehoods easier.
