Inside the Michigan Militia
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 тра 2016
- 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.

Armed citizens? Smells like freedom to me.
+Hagge Bänke (Robobunny) Police and the Military are armed citizens too
+Primarch Alpharius and thats what the establisment is trying to change ;-)
Tom Scharf
How?
+Primarch Alpharius By lying about gun violence and pushing through arbitrary and unconstitutional weapons bans.
Primarch Alpharius
by manipulating the media with false facts about guns? Trying to scare the people all the time? Using every single school shooting to push their agenda when the bodies are still warm? Ignoring all the cases when people actually defended their lifes with guns and focusing on tragedies?
this whole fucking thing is so bias and misrepresented. disappointed in this channel. unsubscribe

+Alec Seal byeeeee!!
+Joffrey Baratheon You need to be ready incase something happens like the government taking away basic human rights like is happening all around the world. It is not people doing this to each other it is tyranical governments. It has happened time and time again. Cough cough Nazi Germany cough cough.

"As a Canadian idea of militia is insane"
Canadian militia fighting US army in 1812 crying in the background😢
Considering it was citizen militias that repelled the Finians and were trained by the DCRA to be rifleman, he knows jack all about Canada. The American government asked the DCRA to help the NRA to train marksmanship.
As a Brit ..I would most certainly join a militia if I ever came to live in USA ..which is looking like a certainty.. it's disgusting how unprepared for tyranny we are here in UK.
I have one in my state. If you move to the Midwest. Let me know. We welcome all. Just get together and train when we can.
@@firefly9838what state?
You’re more than welcome here if you can get through all of the bureaucratic red tape! 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸
I mean.... can you blame the British government for having a fear of militias, what with the likes of... I don't know.... 1776??? lol

Isn't journalism supposed to unbiased?
Supposed to be, yes, but human beings can never be unbiased.
+Kevin Haynes what's wrong with people thinking for themselves and being informed of every side
+Colonel Kill Sometimes its important to see issues from an outsider to get a different perspective.
+Kevin Haynes that is an absolutely incorrect assessment of fair journalism. Fair journalism would be reporting war crimes from both sides, for example, and not praising one side. That's called bias, which is the thing you're defending.
Journalism also has fuck all to do with justice. Justice is for the justice system. Trial by media is one of the most abhorrent practices of modern journalism. Journalism isn't supposed to reflect values or make judgement between right or wrong.
+Colonel Kill by the way, they're doing Gonzo style journalism which isn't supposed to be unbiased. That's actually the justification in this case.
The congressman scared me more than the militia guys. Jesus.

Many years have come and gone... Leaders have risen and others have fallen... As long as the Michigan Militia exists we still have a chance to secure our freedoms. The Michigan Home Guard and the other groups are brothers and sisters... Together we're trained, equipped, educated, dug in, and ready... I salute every Patriot who identified with the Militia and well-regulated Home Guard... may God bless and protect
Sounds like another domestic terrorist plot in the making!

"I can't understand why they're so hostile, so violent, so paranoid."
They invited an outsider to come and shoot all of their guns, train with them, and then film all of it. That doesn't sound hostile or paranoid.
They're pretty fucking paranoid.

@@user-te3cn6gk1c just because you think people are out to get you doesn't mean they aren't.
It pretty damn polite actually nothing hostile there they have nothing to hide is what that says
They are against tyranny, question is why police, national guards, military, FBI and multiple government intelligent agencies are not enough to protect our way of life?
First 5 seconds of the video he called the gun in his hands an "assault rifle".... I already know this is going to be a bullshit video.
Watch out for automatic pistols too lol
+first6digits I don't get it.
Nicholas Jarrett When people who don't know a lot about firearms talk about them, they always go overboard by calling AR-15's a high powered assault rifle, when really, they aren't considered, by the engineers that design them, to be "high powered". My pistol joke references how these people mistake, or most likely intentionally refer to these pistols this way for the purpose of shock value. When you say a gun is automatic, that means that you can hold the trigger down, and the mechanism is designed to rapidly fire, and eject the casing. My point is that certain people use the word automatic when it is truly semi-automatic. I really cannot tell you if a lot of reporters do this for shock value, or if they truly don't understand the difference. Maybe a little of both, I suppose. Oh, and sorry that this comment is so long.
+Nicholas Jarrett An "assault rifle" denotes select fire capability. ( semi auto AND full auto) which requires a class 3 license, which are very unattainable and extremely expensive. Also virtually zero of the legal class 3 firearms are used in crimes. The problem with most of the populations view on firearms is that their info is given to them by people who know nothing about firearms or do but choose to deceive them.
***** Oh, ok, I had thought that AR-15's were select fire, it's just nobody ever used the automatic. Thanks :)
As a Flint Michigan resident, after watching this video I’m even more confident in my state. Nothing but love and respect for these Godly and Great men. Thank you gentlemen for your protection.
It is absolutely hilarious and 100% a joke when Canadians comment on anything that has to do with our country.
The government must be held accountable for their actions that are against their citizens!
"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
That's the dystopian reality the government and it's government supremacy supporters want to subdue you under.
Precisely! And thank you!
Thomas Jefferson
Amen Thomas Jefferson said it best. This report paints these militia guys as terrorist to fit their narrative SMH
They want to take our guns cause they know what they have planned for us
Why does michigan's militia looks more serious than Georgia's
Because the north beat the south so bad the south lost a few chromosomes in the scuffle.
It's the way the video footage is edited.
@@AjinSade woah woah woah there buddy... it was just a light-hearted joke!
Besides, I think we can all agree that the north and the south both have their problems lol. But I also wouldn’t consider Michigan “the north.” The Midwest is kinda its own thing. As someone who grew up in North Carolina and now lives in Michigan, they’re basically the same thing. The “north” you’re referring to is really the north east

"Historically, groups that have been armed, what good have they done?" Um, try the revolutionary war bud
+b1itsjustme they defended against a tyrannical government
+Sawyer Spainhoward sometimes they help institute one.
+b1itsjustme Frightening that you think it doesnt.....
+Sawyer Spainhoward Not to mention the Koreans during the L.A riots. They formed a militia and kept thier homes , businesses, and family safe from rioters. While the rioters destroyed thier own neighborhoods, the asian groups formed up to keep themselves safe.
Its kinda funny, when you think about it. During Huricane Katrina, the police left, leaving militias and groups of people to protect thier homes and family. When the hurricane ended, and military returned, they took all the firearms (historical or not , they were all destroyed). After confiscation , gangs came in for 'revenge' on alot of the homes, and forced people to leave their once safe homes.
imagine that, situations where criminals do not follow the law.
+Sawyer Spainhoward Tyrannical government... Not quite right. The government had spent loads of money defending them from the French. Not against armed citizenry though.
The militia is not dangerous to the average citizen. These guys love america and will lay their lives down to protect it and its values
👍
+Elijah L except they are not soldiers, and i bet when given the chance, its a 50/50 average they will actually have the balls to pull the trigger
+SquadPoop many of them are soldiers. They got back from war and realized how corrupt the government they defended was.
Austin Arnold what do you mean corrupt? I'd say compared to the countries they were fighting in, we in the US have a pretty stable government, see I never understood that argument about how we have a corrupt government, yeah how about go to China or Russia or even Mexico, and then tell me our government is corrupt
+SquadPoop seriously?? even the state governments are fucked in the ass. The higher up you go in government, from city to county to state, the less they give a shit about you. The more disconnected leaders get from the people. it's easier to take advantage and exploit. there's so much money embezzlement and selling wars. the government is a company. Us citizens are just assets, that's the only reason we get taken care of. without us they have no money or power
2021 and a lot of the points that these guys have been training for has been coming to pass in the US
True, the far right has infected our government, they’re already in stripping our god given rights in Florida, burning our books, beating our women, they’re neo nazis plain and simple. Don’t let the krauts win

I can't believethat a US congressman just said Militia are the same as gangs. Militias don't fight over turf or deal drugs to their communities.

Militia are good guys, they are the ones to defend us should our military get pushed back too hard. Look at occupied Europe during WW2, you think the U.S Britain and Canada stormed Normandy without help from the French Resistance?

And it wasn't a tyrannical government per se, just a foreign one with an attitude and greedy .
I had never heard about American Militia before watching this but from what I can gather....I would support them. In fact their very existence is a good argument for legalising firearms here in Britain. Power to the people!

In America: guns are legal, private property is legal, shooting clubs are legal, and you are allowed to have an opinion about the government.

@@adambyers8010 King and Queens are still regulated and controlled in various ways. The British monarchy (which is also the Canadian one) is limited in what they can do by things like the Magna Carta, English Bill of Rights 1689 and various newer legislation. The US bill of rights actually stems from the English bill of rights and most of the US legal system is based off of English common law.
King Tanyard there are truths in that. However they failed the secure freedom of speech and the right to defend oneself with the most effective tools. Seems like they wanted that power for the king and queen, not their peasants. Sad to see it that way. I do see the similarities though.

So i ask you, why aren't they allowed to be used on US soil?? cuz some Law says they cant??? Lol you honestly believe some words on some paper are going to be respected by the tyrants in government?
That paper and those words clearly hasn't stopped them in any of the above instances i just mentioned.... So why would the future be any different?
THIS is why WE the good citizens need things like Tanks, Bazookas, MPADS (Stingers), Full autos. Mines, Grenades, etc etc.
I trust my 150 million fellow and responsible civilian gun owners who don't commit ANY CRIME AT ALL IN THEIR ENTIRE LIVES, and leave others alone not to mention respect others property, A BILLION TIMES MORE than i trust our fucked up and rotten to the god damn core government.

I'm not American, but haven't militia fight for independence? How can reporter say nothing good comes from militia...
Leftist propanganda
The reporter is Jewish.
Because they think they are terrorists because they think the national guard is the militia which is wrong and right
The original state militias and home guard were made part of the national army and are not the only militia that we can legally have
Many smaller militias need to be around to help prevent terrorists attacks from getting out of had if they happen
Captain Capitalism He was a typical snitch. Acted cool with the militia guys and then when he was with the Congressman, started talking crap about the militia guys
Uros Go ya people think there some american hating people but in reality they love us and would defend it without a doubt if anything the us militia groups would be the thing that saves us from an invasion or a conflict on american soil with estimated over 300 militia groups
It’s not just Michigan many states have these…
I believe if a militias leaders have noble and honorable intent, and can hold its members to strict protocols and a clear chain of command then the government should see them as an ally. Not an enemy or a danger.
Ukraine is the perfect example of this
I know this is an old vid, but if one of these militias isn't called Militia-gan I'm gonna be really mad.

they can bear arms, wear armor, camo, boots...can they fight?
fighting isn't just shooting a weapon, nor releasing anger upon an enemy. it's about controlled chaos.
you see American military soldiers fighting, shooting almost impossibly at distances far beyond what their guns are capable of...an example of war-fighters who don't know what they're doing.
it's abysmal to watch.
to say a militia is dangerous is redundant, they have guns they train to use them and they most of them have actual combat experience. They are the people you want as neighbors
"Historically, groups that have been armed - what good have they done?" They founded a country based on the rights of the common man. Ben Makuch's fatal error in this documentary is that he not only equates militias with some of the larger terrorist organizations, but also views it as a wicked thing to overthrow a government body that fails to respect the liberties of the people - yet it is this very thing that constructs quintessential American society, for as Thomas Jefferson stated, "I deem the supremacy of the civil over the military authority one of the essential principles of our government, and consequently one of those which ought to shape its administration." In a modernized country that has taught us to capitulate under federal authority, it is a common misconception that the government reign supreme over the civil - but this perspective is deleterious to fundamentally American principles, and must be revised. The militias are what make our country what it is. Under the amendments of the Constitution, they secure our liberties and defend the country's principles. This is their right, their freedom, and purpose, and because of this, I take great offense to Makuch's arrogant and uninformed statements. This is our country, and we mold it with our hands. Sometimes, you need a gun to get the job done.
Woah that was well written and should be top comment rather than just having my singular thumbs up, it is amazing the amount of misinformed people in the top comments at the moment.
Amen brother
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." - Thomas Jefferson

Trying to direct what they want your opinion to be/subliminal manipulation to arrive at a certain 'feeling' about the subject) Just a few examples.
We have so much cultural propaganda today in TV, internet, movies etc, that Americans just take it all as 'normal' when it's all skewed and manipulative to it's core. It's pretty scary to look at from the outside in.

18:42 interesting how that guy is questioning "who are they afraid of" ... none of his business according to the constitution. I see that the official is not "just serving" ... he is interpreting and bringing his own oppinion to judge the citizens. I think the US constitution is always valide and never to be questioned and no citizen has to proof or justify anything regarding being FREE and being prepared to keep this FREEdom. The moment the government starts watching the militia the government prooves, that they don't trust their citizens and think about controlling them which is EXACTLY what the founding fathers wanted to prevent by granting the own citizens the full right to defend themselves to prevent arrogant governance sticking their nose into things they have no right for. I think the founding fathers of the US wanted exactly this to be prevented - every official being paid by citizens has to be serving the people. Nothing more. They are no more rights granted by the founding fathers. All the rights go to the people - being free. May it be to prevent far right or far left. If there is anybody controlling anybode then the people/citizens controlling the government - not "VICE" versa

I'm here randomly because Reddit is telling me this video is relevant to Current Events (from today) and I see the disparity between the likes and dislikes on the video, I can only fear for what the video will look like 24-72 hours from now: 11k Up VS 10K Down at this time

I don't trust the media I wanna know from the wolverine watchmen themselves what they stand for.
Pretty much
Presenter looks terrified of everything.
mark of a liberal
total bitch
Brett Elkin not everything.. Just uneducated men with guns. I get why they have their guns, I mean I have my guns but I'm not worried about a terrorist blowing up a tree in Michigan, let's be serious, or Chinese parachuting in lmfao. they're upset for one of two reasons, the world has left them behind because smarter people then them figured out how to make more money by getting rid of their job or, the more likely case, they have a tiny penis and don't get laid.. I just thought about how much it much piss these guys off knowing that liberal news reporter definitely gets way more girls and doesn't even own a gun
Seriously though, these guys don't bother me. I think they're crazy but they're not hurting anyone and when they do I have faith in my govt to handle the situation like shown before. Sorry I'm not sorry, these are the idiots that want to spend billions on defense and are upset they're taxes went up.. Then they want tax cuts but don't want to cut entitlements, a generation of babies that have taken and sucked the life out of this country and try to blame millennials for their mess ups. The more I think about the more I'm happy we got trump because these people are going to get what they deserve after all these years. I'm book marking this and I'm coming back in a year to recomment
Marc Perillo They had their best days in high school and fantasise about Red Dawn scenarios. A mild curiosity at best, just like the presenter. Might see you in a year.
+ Marc Perillo If you're afraid of "not everything...Just uneducated men with guns" then you've got to be the biggest racist on the continent, because you just described a lot more Hispanic and black men than whites in the U.S.. Thanks for showing your true colors, Nazi
As for a male "liberal news reporter definitely" getting way more girls and he doesn't even own a gun, well, male liberal news reporters don't get more girls because they prefer boys. And white men with families tend to be married and faithful to their wives, a concept that obviously evades you.
Now go move to Dearborn, Michigan, and let's see what your comments are after living in a "No Free Speech" zone for a year.
Anyone watching this in 2022 while seeing what is going on in Canada now where the journalist resides?

Vice: telling people how to think is our job.
Americans, your kids use asault rifles to kill hundred of their class mates all years, and almost live in a constant racial war but all the others are wrong and ofc you guys are right and also think all ppl its like you despicte in europe the most dangerous weapon a kid ever had was a plastic spoon or a pencil, but hey dont let ppl tell you how to think.
Earauka Valion guessing you’re not from a free country🤔. Or that you listen to the propaganda your country feeds you and you don’t think for yourself. Hmmmm
Earauka Valion : actually I was thinking of kids in countries like Venezuela, North Korea, China, etc. who will never know freedom because they will live under the marching boots of a fully armed government and they cannot speak, worship, work, or defend themselves as they please because militias and guns aren’t allowed among their citizens.
Iam TrumPutin yea the Democratic Party are domestic territories and pussies like u won't chance a militia ...I would love to move there just to join them
my exact thoughts!
How DARE you call these people the greatest threat to America.
Filthy Fucktard yeah these men and women would sacrifice everything to serve as scouts and demolition shock troops if America is ever invaded.
Maybe because they'd just as soon turn their guns on Americans who dont follow their political beliefs......
@filthy fucktard Our Military has said "White Nationalism" "White Supremacism" is a greater threat than ISIS ! this not some bullshit vice pulled out of their ass. and its not just the US- pay attn, did that militia at the border seem like a good thing? WTF is wrong with you
The government always knows what’s best for us and always has our best interest in mind‼️ we should listen and do what they say at all times without question‼️
I'm looking for Chris hill trying to get into the security forces or anyone that can help

Remember that time the Michigan Militia flew a plane into a building and shot up paris 2 times in a year?
+Hetzer And raped a bunch of women in Munich and Malmo.
Their biased description alone is enough to earn a downvote from me.
OK. Say what you want about the wars in the Middle East. Personally I do not condone them, but they are no excuse for what organisations like ISIS are doing. However, that has very little to do with this video or this comment considering that it was pointing out the absurdity of calling a bunch of guys who don't trust the government domestic terrorists when there are actual religiously motivated terrorists actively raping, bombing, and generally doing terrorist stuff.
+Slapped704 1.5M? Don't make me laugh. All well supported studies show between 150k-600k. The 600k is the Lancet study and the 150k from the Iraq Family Study are outliers, with the average lying somewhere around 400k. AND MIND YOU, most of the violence against the people of these countries come from sectarian groups which was the result of removing Saddam from power! So sectarian fighters killing civilians makes Americans murderers? Fuck off!
it is domestic terror they are intimidating innocent people intimidating causing terror domestic from this country internally these militias are from the united states a militia causing terror in the united states that is from the united states
This is not just an American thing, they are popping up all over the world.

"Historically, groups that have been armed, what good have they done?"
*BOI*
Nat Turners rebellion
Freed slaves fighting in the civil war
Revolutionary war
The war of 1812
Malcolm X and his political activism of equal gun rights.
Even Martin Luther king Jr thought that African Americans should be armed in case of self defense.
Tl;dr: alot
Aidan Truax gun rights are American rights no matter of race or political beliefs.
You forgot the Civil War.
Kira Yoshikage “Freed slaves fighting in the civil war”
freed slaves fighting in the civil war were largely fighting for union so that is part of the government. The war of 1812 was a war between 2 governments. I think they meant armed groups outside of government control.
@@GC-ps9mn the US didn't have a powerful standing army in 1812 most wars where fought by militias at the time

So where is the upper peninsula militia based out of?
This militia is actually pretty badass, and well organize and disciplined.
I like how when the reporter goes to the congressmen he instantly brings up how they're primarily white, he then turned the whole conversation about color. This reporter is biased, I hate it when people can't respect each others veiws and opinions.
Vice is another trash left radical reporting echo chamber for like-minded weasels. They are sheeple and pretend everything is fine when it's the contrast.
@TheGreaterGood80 id say most new England or northern parts of armerica are mostly white
LIBERALS ARE THAT WAY, THEY'RE THE TRUE FACIST.
Pablo, if you are a white person, liberals automatically see you as a mean-spirited racist so your opinions and facts are not to be judged on their merits. Everything you say will have a WASP discount applied to it. This is why I have difficulty trusting ANYTHING the liberals say.
the every day average Joe isnt interesting, now an imbred hick with lots of guns, who digs the Bible, Beans and bullets; and... who just happens to be married to his cousin and hates immigrants, now that is what his leftist editor wants to hear...That makes a reporter rich
I'm a Native American from Michigan,proud of my heritage and roots, I agree with the militia in my State, government will always have people in it who aren't for the People, there's bad in every group of people, just the way man sees it,how he will react...

@@Lobos222 wat u say

An assault rifle is fully automatic. Those are merely hunting rifles.

@@notlogical4016 The gun issue got complicated when mass shooters started mowing down kids and locals by the dozens in seconds. I'm all for militias defending freedom with their guns but what does society do about these mass shooters? Society wants a solution to that.
@@ConsiderTheCrows society arms themselves and shoots back. Look at what happened in White Settlement, Texas at the church of christ, that could have been a bloodbath. That church is a sister church to mine and as to every church of christ ive been to they always have armed members in attendance. That man would have killed dozens of people, but there were others there to shoot back. He only hurt 2 people, because he got his head blown off by a good guy with a gun when he started popping off.

Vice goes back in time to the first American militias: "Don't you guys feel it's unnecessary to bear arms given that the British monarchy has our best interests in mind?"
Good one brother! 👍
Don't forget the lack of colour in them
Sometime in the not so distant future....
Vice: couldn’t you guys have restored our democracy without all the guns and violence?
Militia member: Yes. We could have restored our REPUBLIC without the violence if our government had stopped using the heavy hand of the CIA, FBI, NSA, ATF and all of the other organizations including the IRS and major news networks to suppress the ability of hardworking Americans to simply make there dreams a reality without the fear of the government attempting to violate those dreams at literally every opportunity.
English Agents Democrats Biden / Harris import 10million Muslims. The moment one uses an assault weapon politicians try to take away all our guns. Time for terminal sniper is ripe. Dr. Weber Mankato, MN share.
You hit the nail on the head. They took our right to bear arms in the Netherlands. When the nazi,s invaded my country they did it in 4 days. If the Russians or Chinese will try now they will in 2......
