MILITIA INTELLIGENCE ADVISED LAW ENFORCEMENT OF POTENTIAL THREATS TO WORLD

GAMES



On May 22, 1996, a militia intelligence report was sent to authorities

regarding threats to athletes and/or spectators attending the Olympic

games. This was done in hopes that any terrorist action would be

avoided.



The information was also disseminated to all major media outlets

nationwide. The report, compiled by the National Militia Intelligence

Network (NMIN), named individuals and organizations who were identified

by constitutional militia members and other sources as being viable

threats to the event.



Col. James McKinzey, Commander of the Missouri 51st Militia, has been in

contact with local authorities in an attempt to discuss this information

first hand. Col. McKinzey states, "We cannot continue to let innocent

Americans suffer because of terrorist organizations. We cannot continue

to allow the sick individuals who belong to them to go unpunished

because of inaction by the government and the media." Col. McKinzey also

declares that "As the leader of a Missouri and United States

Constitutional Militia I want to make clear that there is no threat to

Americans from their constitutional militia. Constitutional militia are

defensive, not offensive, organizations. Our mission is to preserve

peace, not to take lives.
