Georgia Militia Group Planned Ricin Attack To 'Save the Constitution' [1]

"The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) says that four members of a fringe militia used a book written by Fox News 'expert' Mike Vanderboegh as a basis for a plot to commit domestic terrorism. Federal law enforcement authorities on Tuesday arrested four Georgia senior citizens for allegedly plotting to kill government officials and spread terror with guns, explosives and the toxin ricin."



"An FBI criminal complaint claimed that Frederick Thomas cited Vanderboegh’s book Absolved as a model for the group’s actions."
