It's been interesting reading the comments on the various sites that posted this announcement, I hope that everyone keeps in mind that it is the upper management that has been scrutinized and not the employees. I know many OathKeepers as probably many of you do, many Oathkeepers has been working just as hard to defend against Tyranny. As Concerned American, sent by Trainer stated:
I know well about the necessities of working with people you don’t particularly like or trust in order to achieve an end result. I’ve trained individual OK’s and will continue to do so as the opportunity presents. I’d work and fight next to them, too. After all, we did all take the same Oath
I to, as some of you, have worked with Oathkeepers. Personally I see this as an organization that has been using the Voice Box that suddenly realizes that it may take more than then the Voice Box to preserve and restore the Constitution and stand against Tyranny. I would welcome them (leadership) yet watch them for commitment and devotion in the field at an arms length, just as you would for any new organization or individual. If someone is willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with fellow Patriots then welcome.
I for one will not nit pick at this point, we need more people to stand together and I won't walk away from this opportunity, but they will need to prove themselves just like anyone else would. I will not scrutinize that Stewart is doing this to increase membership dues while many of us may have sold gear, ammo or a weapon for a profit. While individuals pay to belong to an organization or membership so that they belong to a common cause is important to them. Now take as an example Mountain Guerrilla, he is being paid! But the difference I see is he is being paid to teach a skill to enforce and bolster like minded individuals. So everyone has an angle to make an income, personally I'd rather put my money towards a skill.
So maybe at this point we all should look at this as, our numbers are growing, trust who you can and the others keep at arms length until proven. We just need to stay on point with what we do and keep moving forward.

Truth is a always relevant to your opinion. I have spent a couple days reading the Oath Keepers plan with deep concern. In one side I think the idea is great. However I see a big problem with hitching my wagon to Stewart Rhodes and his structured Corporate Organization. When you get to many groups you start to fragment the efforts. When you have the wramsite.com/ run my good old Minuteman, and the local state led and bred Militias the addition of these independent A-Teams will provide a cluster F#@$ to beat all before. Don't get me wrong here! I agree they are needed if "No other unit is in place". I don't think they should have lines outside of the local patriotic groups already in place or there is a serious danger they multiple groups will end up having patriots killing patriots while the Psyops boys in DC cheer them on. With that pointed out there is also some very real problems these posted goals can cure in local units. I suggest that everyone go to the Oath Keeper site and cut and paste the article down before Stewart Copyrights it and starts charging for copies.
