Here we go, boys and girls …

LAS VEGAS – Four members of an anti-government group have been arrested on charges that include money laundering, tax evasion and weapons possession, federal prosecutors said Friday.

Authorities said the four men are members of the Sovereign Movement, a group that attempts to overthrow the government and defy authority with “paper terrorism.” The arrests in Las Vegas on Thursday capped a three-year investigation into the group’s activities led by the Nevada Joint Terrorism Task Force, U.S. Attorney for Nevada Greg Brower said.

A grand jury indictment in federal court in Las Vegas names Samuel Davis, 54, of Council, Idaho; Shawn Rice, 46, of Seligman, Ariz.; Harold Call, 67, of Las Vegas; and Jan Lindsey, of Henderson.

Davis and Rice are accused of laundering roughly $1.3 million for undercover FBI agents, who described the money as loot from a bank fraud scheme. Davis and Rice are charged with one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering and 30 counts of money laundering. If convicted, they face up to 20 years in prison and a $500,000 fine on each count.

Davis was described by prosecutors as a national leader in the Sovereign Movement, whose members believe government licenses, taxes and currency are invalid. Rice described himself as a lawyer and rabbi devoted to anti-government teaching, authorities said.

Davis and Rice pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas late Friday. Call and Lindsey also were due to appear in court. Authorities did not know if the four had lawyers.

Brower’s office said Call and Lindsey, a retired FBI agent, are leaders of the Nevada Lawmen Group for Public Awareness, a group affiliated with the Sovereign Movement.

Call is accused of possessing an unregistered machine gun, as well as parts designed to convert manual firearms into automatic weapons.

He faces two counts of possession and transfer of a machine gun and three counts of possession of an unregistered machine gun. If convicted, he could get up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count.

Lindsey is charged with one count of evasion of payment of tax and four counts of evasion of assessment of tax. He faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count.

    Tax evasion? Were they arrested or just brought to Washington to be part of the Obama Administration?

    “Davis and Rice are accused of laundering roughly $1.3 million for undercover FBI agents.”

    FOR undercover FBI agents.

    Hmmmm. So they really couldn’t get them on anything so they set them up to launder FOR them then are charging them for that and not paying taxes on the money the FBI payed them to do it :idea:

    i agree with all of the above. the real tax cheats are all in the Obama administration. and these are the same people who are to be in charge of our tax dollars. but they are part of the government, nothing to see here

    Sounds like a setup to me…….all in the name of Change.

    I went to a Tea Party today and the crowd cheered loudest when one speaker gave government a choice ballots or bullets.

    These everyday Americans are really pissed, I have not heard anyone this pissed on ANY of Dollards BTR shows. Lots of Viet Vets there as well and it was sponsored by Palin Supporters! 75% of the folks there were between 40 & 60 and were mostly couples of the husband and wife variety.

    Those Cajuns in Lafayette were some kind of mad, but very friendly to each other in the crowd. The very amateurish nature just showed me that these were everyday folks.

    Holder and Hillary are back!!! Obama’s start at stopping the “vast right-wing conspiracy”, All of us “Tea Party Americans”.

    Lots of people in Oklahoma and Texas know the Oklahoma City Bombing was an inside job, with the Dallas-area Holy Land Foundation Islamics being a part of it…..Remember, the Very 1st News stories looking for suspects. The Islamic Guy on the plane to London that was stopped by Heathrow Security with the wire & wire cutters in the briefcase and set-off the bomb detectors with so explosives traces on his clothes. But was released by the FBI…Then 5 hours later we have Timothy McVeigh given to the MSM, and 3 days later we have them find Terry Nichols and go after the Michigan Militia, the Kansas Militia, and others that have supposed “anti-govenment ties”.

    Remember the FBI never really tried to find John Doe#3, John Doe#4, and John Doe#5, the guy that looked like a native-American/Asian man with a ballcap and two “Middle-eastern” men in their late-20s to mid-30s in blue jogging suits/overalls.

    But it gave the Clintons and Holder the change to stop “militias” and “the vast Right-wing Conspiracy”, and start grabbing guns from ordinary citizens.

    I thought I heard some German explosives expert was involved also.
    Also suspicious the demolished the building so fast they didnt have time to find clues.
    And they executed Timothy faster than any convict in recent history. Nor could Tim talk to any of the press.
    I guess leftist militias are ok.

  • prestonbrooks
