U.S. INFORMATION SERVICE VERSUS MILITIA AND SECOND AMENDMENT Since WWII the U.S. Information Service, operated by the Executive Branch of the Federal Government, has broadcast the editorial viewpoint of the U.S. Government to the rest of the world over the Voice Of America (VOA), an international shortwave radio outlet, heard OUTSIDE of the United States.

Some of these groups have had radical agendas of retaliation against the U.S. Government [for events] such as the [armed] stand-offs at Ruby Ridge, Idaho and Waco, Texas. Militias and the Radical Right are the subject of today's round-table discussion hosted by VOA's Martin Secrest." Martin Secrest: "Are these groups a danger to the public, or as they claim, do they protect the public['s] interests? What are their driving motivations and what's the makeup of these militia groups? Here with us to discuss those questions is Brian [Levin], Associate Professor in the Criminal Justice Department of Stocton College in Pamona, New Jersey; also on the line is Harvey Kushner, [154 lines left ... full text available at <url:http://www.reference.com/cgi-bin/pn/go?choice=message&table=05_1997&mid=1757120&hilit=CONSPIRACY+MEDIA> ] -------------------------------- Article-ID: 05_1997&1745665 Score: 78 Subject: ||||| CDT POLICY POST - 30WED97APR - v3.1 |||||
