PIML 96050401 / Posted to Patriot Information Mailing List: From: JM To: butterb@sagenet.net Subject: Dick Reavis on Montana "Everybody knows that millions of conformist, God-fearing, patriotic, hard-working Americans have, in the past few years, become radically discontent. As a group, they believe their personal fortunes are imperiled, that the nation is in decline, and that their good intentions have been betrayed. Thousands of them are reading our national history (they may be the only Americans who are still doing that), trying to figure out what led to the disaster they see. They have tried to bring their arguments to the public, as even Timothy McVeigh did, in letters to the editor, on talk radio, anywhere they can. The debate can be conducted by the usual means but not by the usual media, whose experts are off in Yuppieland, far from discontent, and whose reporters are standing by the road, waiting on their editors or the FBI." "Standoff in Montana," by Dick J. Reavis, in _The Met_, May 1-8, 1996 This is an excellent article by a reporter who attempted to meet with the Freemen. Dick Reavis, who is if anything more left- wing than the average journalist, has done excellent work on Waco and is pleading for better coverage and more understanding of the alienated segment of the population.
