Not to be confused with Hutterite.


Hutaree is a Christian militia group based in Adrian, Michigan[1]. The group was formed in early 2008. The name "Hutaree" appears to be a newly invented term, that according to the group's members means "Christian soldiers."[2][3] The group was allegedly preparing for what they believed would be an apocalyptic battle with the forces of the Anti-Christ, whom they believed would be defended and supported by local, state and federal police departments[1].

From March 28 to March 30, 2010, nine people thought to be Hutaree members were arrested for allegedly selling pipe bombs in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana (in Hammond).[4] Photographs posted on the group's website show significantly more than nine individuals as being associated with the group, however whatever relationship the additional individuals shown may have had with the group remains unclear.

Criminal investigation

The United States Attorney's Office stated that the Hutaree allegedly planned "to kill an unidentified member of local law enforcement and then attack the law enforcement officers who gather in Michigan for the funeral".[5] The press release further stated that nine had been indicted by a federal grand jury in Detroit on charges of seditious conspiracy, attempted use of weapons of mass destruction, teaching the use of explosive materials, and possessing a firearm during a crime of violence. The indictment said that the Hutaree planned to attack law enforcement vehicles during the funeral procession for the officer(s) they planned to kill, using improvised explosive devices of the explosively-formed projectile variety, thus constituting the formal, Federal statutory definition of Weapons of Mass Destruction.[5]

Some articles suggest the Hutaree had not yet determined whom in law enforcement they would kill, and even that they wished to kill a law enforcement officer in order to begin a war with law enforcement, while not having any specific target.[6]

Doctrine

The Hutarees claim that an apocalypse is near but has not begun and will occur in the future.[9] In one position piece, the Hutaree suggested that Javier Solana, former Secretary General of NATO, and of the Western European Union, may be the Antichrist[10].

Many videos posted on the Hutaree's website support several right wing organizations, politicians, and news commentators. Their leader, David B. Stone Sr., is "a Ron Paul fanatic" according to a former fiancee.[11] Some of the Hutaree's website videos expressed that the aims of the United Nations are hostile to American values and philosophy. Several videos on the Hutaree website made unsubstantiated claims that the UN leadership and the US government were secretly plotting to subvert or destroy US and UN Charter Documents, namely the US Constitution and the UN's Declaration of Human Rights.

The Hutaree insignia includes a sword, crossed spears, and the letters CCR which stands for "Colonial Christian Republic." The establishment of such a new government would have necessarily required some form of domestic armed rebellion and civil strife.[12] Hutaree members use a unique system of paramilitary ranks with titles from highest to lowest: Radok, Boramander, Zulif, Arkon, Rifleman (three grades), Lukmore, and Gunner (three grades).[12]

Criticisms and context

Jim Gulliksen, the Executive Officer of the Lenawee Volunteer Michigan Militia, said of the Hutaree: "Their philosophy and ours differ in many ways, so we don't do a whole lot with them. They are too extreme and radical for us. I just kind of got a bad feeling about the group and we did not want to associate with them too much. They are a little too paranoid for me."[12]

According to a recent report by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the doctrines of such groups are often fueled by a certain, "anger over the changing demographics of the country". The report notes that the rate of the formation of groups like the Hutaree has increased significantly since Barack Obama was elected president of the United States in 2008.[13] They note that these groups were formed after a black president was elected and inaugurated. Most people in America have issues with being controlled by a black family. Mr. President Barack Obama is a Saint.
