Why is the government so quiet about the Arizona Citizens Militia?

Let’s look at the potential for a disaster, out of any incident at the Mexican border, where the truth may be twisted by the mainstream media and the government.
What we do know:
That two Mexicans were shot and killed near the Mexican border. That these two, according to then available and subsequent information, were armed with fully automatic military weapons; they were in military type uniform; and, they were bringing drugs from Mexico into the, specifically, Arizona State.
We also know that the government has sent the FBI to investigate the incident. They are looking to see if they can find who did the shooting and if murder charges can be brought against the shooter.
Next, let us look at the government’s position on the illegal entries into Arizona. The government believes that there should be total amnesty for the illegals we start their visit by breaking our laws the moment they set foot in the United States. If it occurs as the amnesty n the nineties, those who have violated the laws, and gotten away with breaking those laws, for five years, or more, will get green cards. Those who are sufficiently versed in breaking the laws (less than five years) are still illegal. This is probably pretty much what we can expect, this time.
We know that the government does not believe that each state has a guarantee to a Republican form of government (Article IV, Section 4, Constitution), if the federal government does not want them to have a republican form of government.
We know that the federal government has sued Arizona because the federal government doesn’t want the states to enforce federal law, when it is the “exclusive” right of the federal government to enforce the law. However, this standard is a one way standard, since the federal government deputized city, county and state law enforcement in Waco; has used Maricopa County Sheriff SWAT teams to serve federal warrants; requires local law enforcement to enforce federal policy regarding security of the Gulf of Mexico beaches; and, seems to have no problem with local law enforcement wearing an American flag on their uniform.
The federal government, in many cases, actually provides funds to local law enforcement to enforce immigration laws. Of course, when they receive funds, they are bound by the policies, mandates, and dictates of the Department of Justice as a condition of receipt of those funds.
However, in Arizona, the federal government wants the “exclusive” right to enforce immigration laws — which they do with as much enthusiasm as the schools do in turning in those who they know are not legally in this country.
However, given the apparent public support for both the Arizona SB 1070 and the activities of the Arizona Citizens Militia (ACM), it would appear that the government has a dilemma of unimaginable proportions, or, so it would appear. Let’s look at one possible scenario whereby the government, utilizing the mainstream media, could spin this into what it is not, and appear to not have changed their colors.
Even though the Department of Homeland Security has deemed militia as homegrown terrorists, they have not gone after the militia, nor has there been a high degree of demonization, which we might have expected. If they did send troops to Arizona to take on the militia, they would soon have to send troops to every state in the union, to quash the militia that would take up arms against the government that decided to suspend Article II of the Bill of Rights.
However, if they can create scenario whereby the members of the ACM that were involved in the gunfight can be isolated and demonized, the can easily get the press to, by association, demonize the ACM. Once that is accomplished, they have separate the remainder of the Militia in the country from the ACM, and can now go in with troops and take them down, simply by enforcing the law of the land. By the demonization, they will find that the remainder of the militia, will, by their own choice, distance themselves from the ACM, and leave them to the wolves.
Now, most will say, that cannot be done. We will stand behind the ACM and their activities, for we are true Americans. Unless, of course, the spin creates a scenario where the killings become first-degree murder. After all, the FBI has gone to the area to investigate whether murder was committed. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has not gone down there to see if the Mexicans had illegal firearms (I guess it is okay for them to have fully automatic rifles, but not us). The DEA has not gone down there to see if there were illegal drugs coming across the border. Only the FBI went down there to look into whether a crime was committed, or not.
Absent any witnesses, the government can put the burden of proof on the ACM, or ACM members who were present, if they can find who they are. The can charge them with murder, illegal use of firearms, and many others charges (legal shotgun, where something is bound to stick), arrest them and hold them for trial. Them those so charged will have to defend themselves against the wealthiest legal system in the world. Chances are there will be a conviction, even if only a misdemeanor, whether by pleas agreement or verdict from the jury. This, in itself, will give the other militia the excuse they need to create as much distance as possible from the ACM and the activities they are conducting to protect our southern border. “We don’t support any illegal activity”, will be their claim, as they turn their backs and walk away.
Then, the press will applaud the president for enforcing the law, though he will continue to allow illegals to cross, even encouraging them by this display of punishment for those who would stop them.
