“Effective immediately, disaster wide – cease inspections today and return to your hotels,” an alert from Vanguard Inspection Services read on Saturday. “FEMA received news that the Title 10 (active military unit deployed to NC) came across some trucks of militia units who said they were out hunting FEMA personnel.”
Vanguard was not immediately available for comment.
Plenty of anarchist and marxist groups collaborate to do mutual aid. I follow a group on instagram who’s been at the site doing water purification. blackpowderpress I think covered one of them.
It doesn’t just seem convenient; there’s historical precedence for it. While not natural disaster per say, fascists have been known to host AAs, “Masculinity Programs” and other niche social programs disguised as recruitment fronts. Further back, the government sponsoring radical militias to keep communists and socialist groups down is not uncommon or a element of the government (states and local/what not) to start funding these groups (I think of Chetniks for example). It’s been going on a long, long time in the U.S especially and in this case it’s more opportunist for them to establish a “popular front”.
