The media will smear the militia every time. Never invite reporters, journalists, news media, or photographers of any kind to a militia training exercise or militia meeting. Never reply to their emails and never talk to them.

I have heard of undercover reporters wearing hidden video recorders to militia training exercises so don't hesitate to check out and question anyone you are suspicious of. If someone is wearing something that doesn't look right and they don't want show it to you then tell them to leave and escort them off the property. Only train or meet on private property. Do not openly post the training or meeting location and be sure to say it is by invitation only. Be sure to screen everyone and make everyone keep their cell phone in their vehicle.
