German prosecutors have brought charges against individuals "linked to an alleged coup plot hatched by members of the far-right ‘Reichsbürger' movement."
The article by Amanda Marcotte is one of the better pieces to appear in MSM lately and well worth reading. Unfortunately she misses out on an opportunity to single out a singularly large connection between her topic of discussion and its direct connection to the MAGA rebellion network, namely the fact that pseudo-historian David Barton, who she discusses, is also one of the Seven Mountains Dominionist movement's most significant influencers as noted at the website of the Truth and Liberty Coalition- https://truthandliberty.net/about/
Included in the Coalition's listing of influencers to name two examples are Dr. Ben Carson, a Project 2025 affiliate https://americancornerstone.org/about/
and Bob McEwen of the Council for National Policy, among others.
With regards to Sheriff Mark Lamb, he is a known "Constitutional Sheriff" adherent/proponent. the following excerpt from a Politico Magazine article help to make this clear:
_______________________
Through Protect America Now, which was founded by a Republican strategist and two business people working with Lamb and counterparts nationwide, he is marshalling dozens of other elected sheriffs and citizen supporters around these ideas — “building an army” as the group puts it. The message: Sheriffs are here to protect your freedom — including freedom from your own democratically elected government.
Lamb’s advocacy follows in the tradition of “constitutional sheriffs,” who for decades have propagated the idea — refuted by constitutional experts — that sheriffs are the supreme legal authority in America, above even the president and the Supreme Court, and that they can choose not to enforce any law they consider unconstitutional. Former sheriffs Joe Arpaio and David Clarke, along with an estimated 138 currently serving sheriffs, are self-declared adherents of the philosophy, which evolved out of the white nationalist, anti-Semitic movement known as “posse comitatus,” meaning the “power of the county.”
