BREAKING: Feds Make Shocking Move Against Citizens Who Fought Back Against Obama’s “Jade Helm”

QUESTION IS: WHEN AND WHERE DID THIS ‘FOUGHT BACK’ TAKE PLACE?  THEY WERE MERELY MAKING PREPARATION ‘JUST IN CASE’ – SO WHAT IS THE LEGAL BASIS FOR ARREST AND IMPRISONMENT? WHAT ELSE CAN AND WILL BE CLASSIFIED AS CAUSE FOR ARREST AND IMPRISONMENT IN OUR PREPARATIONS TO DEFEND OUR NATION?

This past Saturday, federal authorities arrested three North Carolina men for stockpiling weapons, ammunition and tactical gear in preparation for what they believed was President Barack Obama’s attempt to impose martial law.

The men — Walter Eugene Litteral, 50, Christopher James Barker, 41, and Christopher Todd Campbell, 30 — reportedly feared that Obama’s secretive “Jade Helm” military exercises were part of a plot to implement military rule.

The exercises started on July 15 in Southwestern states like Texas and were scheduled to continue through September 15. Some citizens feared that they were a precursor to martial law, as did the three men arrested Saturday.

The trio acquired numerous weapons and tools they thought would be useful for a conflict with the government — everything from long-range rifle ammunition to hand-held radios, Kevlar helmets, body armor, and facemasks.

The three men are also accused of trying to create live grenades and pipe bombs and planning to build explosive tennis balls covered in nails and coffee cans filled with ball bearings.

Federal authorities started investigating the trio in June after receiving a tip that they were trying to make homemade explosives.

The men were arrested on Saturday and subsequently charged by the Department of Justice on Monday.

All three face federal conspiracy charges and a potential five-year prison sentence. Campbell also faces firearms charges that could land him in prison for an additional 10 years.

According to the Associated Press, “The men will remain in federal custody pending the outcome of detention hearings scheduled for Thursday.”

Given the gravity of their alleged crimes, they likely won’t be smelling fresh air anytime soon.
