    Militias are mostly made up of police, FBI and CIA members, so no agency is going to interfere.

      Local police, maybe. The other two have task forces that regularly take these clowns down, so if there are some mixed into the group, they’re really fucking bad at their jobs.

      The worst thing the CIA does is hookers and blow. They’re not looking to get caught up in a right-wing coup.

        You dropped the /s, you are describing the number one cause of regime change globally in the last hundred years.

          My bad. I meant here. They’re not trying to start shit in the US.

          I do think they’ve mostly stopped in the last 40 though.

            Maybe, they did sell crack domestically just forty years ago, and no one really knows where the fentanyl crisis got most of its start, or who manufactures the majority of the supply.

              we know exactly where the fentanyl crisis got its start: Over prescription and aggressive marketing of opioid painkillers by the pharma industry. And we know exactly where most of the fentanyl is manufactured: China.

                Fun fact, we know how it gets into the states.

                The fentanyl, or the precursor chemicals are shipped to Mexico, and then white Americans drive across the border and pick up one or two brick sized packages that then sell for millions.

                The packages are easy to hide, and racist border control doesn’t search the white guy crossing the border with nearly as much enthusiasm as they do the brown guys crossing the same border.

            The CIA focuses on international, uhh… “activities”. If you want their domestic counterpart, you want the NSA.

      While there are a somewhat decent amount of police, the vast majority of people in these militias are middle management, to low level office workers, blue collar workers, and service workers.
