| Abstract | Discusses the history and philosophies of the far-right militia movement and its connections with hate groups and domestic terrorism. The Columbine High School massacre was a tragic warning of the influence that militia and hate groups have on young people today in America. First brought to the nation's attention with the Oklahoma City bombing, militia movements actually have a long history in our country and abroad. The author traces their evolution by analyzing their connection to extremist right-wing politics and religion as well as the conspiracy theories woven by the Ku Klux Klan, the Order, Aryan Nations, and Christian Identity. Discussions of groups and individuals striving to monitor these groups is also included. |
