WASHINGTON -- Three Georgia men were charged in federal court this week with plotting an attack against the government designed to trigger martial law and encourage other militias to join their violent uprising.

Brian Edward Cannon, Cory Robert Williamson and Terry Eugene Peace participated in online chats last month about an operation they were planning against the government in February, according to federal prosecutors. Their discussions were reported to the FBI, which had two cooperating witnesses in the case.

Cannon told an FBI cooperating source on Feb. 8 that the group was planning to "start a fight" with the government by attacking power grids, transfer stations and water treatment facilities, which they hoped would trigger martial law, according to prosecutors. Cannon said he would invite the FBI's source to a private Facebook group, where plans were being made, according to the government.

The Gadfly supposes that the only good news out of this story is that apparently America's own homegrown, non-Muslim, pasty white, good 'ol boy terrorists are just as jaw dropping, goof-ball stupid and incompetent (chatting about operative details of their attack plans on Facebook? - Lol!) as the Muslim underwear and shoe bombers.

On a more serious note though, the 2009 DHS report which noted an alarming rise in homegrown, right wing extremism, a report that the conservatives lambasted as being inaccurate and an unfair attack against conservatism, just keeps getting vindicated over and over again - and the mainstream media just keeps sweeping the reality and importance of that fact under the rug over and over again.

The Gadfly is of the view that mainstream law enforcement and the media in this country will continue to ignore right-wing extremists, and their openly stated desires to violently wreak havoc on American democracy, right up until the point that another Oklahoma City Bombing occurs.  As such - the only outstanding questions then are how many innocent Americans will lose their lives, and will many of those murdered be innocent babies in daycare centers as was the case in Oklahoma City?
