Inside America's Largest Right Wing Militia
In the backwoods of Georgia, a controversial, right-wing, "anti-terror" militia group gathers once a month to complete field training exercises under the command of Chris Hill—a.k.a Blood Agent. This militia group, called the Georgia III% Security Force, is part of the Three Percenter movement, which is inspired by the unfounded claim that only three percent of colonists fought against the British in the American Revolution.
VICE joins Hill and the Georgia III% Security Force during one of their monthly gatherings to see how they prepare themselves to "defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic" and see what they'll do to protect their guns.

Inside the Michigan Militia
In 2008, the first black president was elected in the United States and the worst financial crisis in almost a century brought the world’s economy to its knees. Since then, a form of domestic terror has been on the rise in America and abroad. But it’s not the kind of terror we’re used to hearing about.
Militia groups and neo-nationalists here and around the world have been growing bolder, more popular and more powerful. VICE's Ben Makuch investigates the origins of these militia groups and explores the driving force behind the militia movement today. In order to do so, he travels to the place where it all began: the Michigan State militias.

Why armed militia groups are surging across the nation
Today signifies 22 years since the Oklahoma City bombing, an attack carried out by Timothy McVeigh that left 168 dead. McVeigh sympathized with armed right-wing militia groups, which at the time, were surging in membership. But armed militias have long been active on the fringes of American society and continue to rise today. Special correspondent P.J. Tobia reports.

Syrian Army Retreats: Leaves Tanks & Fighter Jets to Militia Forces
This offensive is unfolding fast, it's possible Assad and his regime don't survive
Primer video: https://youtu.be/L7LbTAJRlg0
Today we look into some updates around the ongoing Syrian civil war. There's been a fair amount of change in recent days as the opposition has pressed the attack further and regime forces have largely fled their positions. This has led to an influx of military equipment to the rebel forces and questions about who can actually come to Assad's aid if that's needed.

New militia forming in Lynchburg, set to hold first 'muster' on Saturday at Miller Park
The Lynchburg Constitutional Militia is holding its first muster on Saturday, and it's mustering up mixed emotions in the Lynchburg community.
"Basically, these folks are the salt of the earth. They're Paul Revere, not a gang. They're people that care about Lynchburg and want to make sure they're a safe community," said Ward III Lynchburg City Councilman Jeff Helgeson.

Militias continue to organize in Virginia
Regardless of participants’ intentions, paramilitary and policy experts said militias are illegal in the United States. Yet, armed groups remain active in Virginia and other states — and new ones are still being formed. Private militia members often mistrust the federal government, cooperate with local law enforcement and defend their activities as legitimate.

Grab your musket, ball, and powder because you’re probably a member of at least one Unorganized Militia! Let’s discuss State vs. U.S. militias, and how you became a member without even realizing it.
Are militias still a real thing?
The 2nd Amendment prevents the government from infringing on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. What it says, specifically is, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
-See U.S. Const. amend. II.
As you can see, the 2nd Amendment unequivocally declares that a well-regulated militia is necessary to ensure the security of a free state. Although use of the word “militia” may seem controversial to some people, the militia was the cornerstone of our nation’s independence during the American Revolution.
In fact, militias are still alive and well today. Depending on what state you live in, chances are that you’re probably a member of at least one militia!
What are the two types of U.S. Militias?
There are two types of militias in the U.S.
1. Organized Militias and
2. Unorganized Militias
The organized militia consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia. But we’re not going to discuss the organized militias.
The unorganized militia consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia. It might seem confusing at first but bear with me.
-See 10 U.S. Code § 246 – Militia: composition and classes
Basically, if you’re a member of the U.S. Militia, then you’re either organized or unorganized. How do you know if you’re in the U.S. Militia?
Are you in the U.S. Militia?
The U.S. Code defines the militia for the United States.
There are two types of people who are automatically members of the U.S. Militia.
1. All able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States, and
2. Female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
So, I’m sorry ladies, but according to law females are never members of the Unorganized U.S. Militia and can only be members of the Organized U.S. Militia through service in the National Guard.
-See 10 U.S. Code § 246 – Militia: composition and classes
Therefore, if you’re an able-bodied male U.S. citizen who is between the ages of 17 and 45, then congratulations! You’re a member of the Unorganized U.S. Militia.
Are you a member of your State’s unorganized militia?
Most states have their own militias which are completely separate from the armed forces. You might think it’s just a “conservative state” concept, but even more “liberal states” like California, New York, and Washington have laws that establish state militias.
The laws establishing the unorganized militias in California, New York, and Washington follow the U.S. definition pretty closely, but there are some slight variations.
The California Unorganized Militia is comprised of able-bodied males who are 18-45 years old (instead of 17).
– Cal. Mil. & Vet. Code § 122
The New York Unorganized Militia excludes those males who are on the state reserve list or the state retired list.
– N.Y. Military Law § 2
The Washington Unorganized Militia on the other hand doesn’t have a cap on age, but includes those who are more than 18 years of age. Also, and most surprisingly, the Washington Unorganized Militia isn’t just limited to males but includes “all able bodied persons…”
– RCW 38.04.030
But in some states, take Florida for example, the inclusion in the unorganized militia is even broader.
In Florida, “The unorganized militia is composed of all persons who are subject to military duty but who are not members of units of the organized militia.”
– FLA. STAT. § 250.02
You might notice that Texas is missing from this list. Well, that’s because Texas absolutely gutted their unorganized militia (which is referred to as the Reserve Militia) and nobody even noticed.
How Texas destroyed their unorganized militia
According to the Texas Government Code, the “Reserve Militia means the persons liable to... (Keep Reading - https://matthewharrislaw.com/you-secretly-joined-an-unorganized-militia/)

There are two types of people who are automatically members of the U.S. Militia.
1. All able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States, and
2. Female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
So, I’m sorry ladies, but according to law females are never members of the Unorganized U.S. Militia and can only be members of the Organized U.S. Militia through service in the National Guard.
-See 10 U.S. Code § 246 – Militia: composition and classes
Therefore, if you’re an able-bodied male U.S. citizen who is between the ages of 17 and 45, then congratulations! You’re a member of the Unorganized U.S. Militia.
Are you a member of your State’s unorganized militia?
Most states have their own militias which are completely separate from the armed forces. You might think it’s just a “conservative state” concept, but even more “liberal states” like California, New York, and Washington have laws that establish state militias.
The laws establishing the unorganized militias in California, New York, and Washington follow the U.S. definition pretty closely, but there are some slight variations.
The California Unorganized Militia is comprised of able-bodied males who are 18-45 years old (instead of 17).
– Cal. Mil. & Vet. Code § 122
The New York Unorganized Militia excludes those males who are on the state reserve list or the state retired list.
– N.Y. Military Law § 2
The Washington Unorganized Militia on the other hand doesn’t have a cap on age, but includes those who are more than 18 years of age. Also, and most surprisingly, the Washington Unorganized Militia isn’t just limited to males but includes “all able bodied persons…”
– RCW 38.04.030
But in some states, take Florida for example, the inclusion in the unorganized militia is even broader.
In Florida, “The unorganized militia is composed of all persons who are subject to military duty but who are not members of units of the organized militia.”
– FLA. STAT. § 250.02
You might notice that Texas is missing from this list. Well, that’s because Texas absolutely gutted their unorganized militia (which is referred to as the Reserve Militia) and nobody even noticed.
How Texas destroyed their unorganized militia
According to the Texas Government Code, the “Reserve Militia means the persons liable to... (Keep Reading - https://matthewharrislaw.com/you-secretly-joined-an-unorganized-militia/)

Syrian Army Retreats: Leaves Tanks & Fighter Jets to Militia Forces

This offensive is unfolding fast, it's possible Assad and his regime don't survive
Primer video: https://youtu.be/L7LbTAJRlg0
Today we look into some updates around the ongoing Syrian civil war. There's been a fair amount of change in recent days as the opposition has pressed the attack further and regime forces have largely fled their positions. This has led to an influx of military equipment to the rebel forces and questions about who can actually come to Assad's aid if that's needed.

The Lynchburg Constitutional Militia is holding its first muster on Saturday, and it's mustering up mixed emotions in the Lynchburg community.
"Basically, these folks are the salt of the earth. They're Paul Revere, not a gang. They're people that care about Lynchburg and want to make sure they're a safe community," said Ward III Lynchburg City Councilman Jeff Helgeson.

Regardless of participants’ intentions, paramilitary and policy experts said militias are illegal in the United States. Yet, armed groups remain active in Virginia and other states — and new ones are still being formed. Private militia members often mistrust the federal government, cooperate with local law enforcement and defend their activities as legitimate.
