'Patriot' Groups

The Intelligence Project identified 149 "Patriot" groups that were active in 2008, up from 131 in 2007.

The Intelligence Project identified 149 "Patriot" groups that were active in 2008, up from 131 in 2007. Of these groups, 42 were militias and the remainder includes "common-law" courts, publishers, ministries and citizens' groups. Generally, Patriot groups define themselves as opposed to the "New World Order" or advocate or adhere to extreme antigovernment doctrines. Listing here does not imply that the groups themselves advocate or engage in violence or other criminal activities, or are racist. The list was compiled from field reports, Patriot publications, the Internet, law enforcement sources and news reports. Groups are identified by the city, county or region where they are located.
