"Uh These are just ideas put into a fictional (and very vague) scenario. Hopefully you are smart enough to figure out if they are appropriate and best for your situation."!!!
Found on the Hutaree militia site, "The End of the World as We Know It" Man. When the apocalypse comes, TEOTWAWKI Man recommends using insoles -- "Gels or what-have-you" -- and generally taking care of your feet.
"It's recommended to change your socks, twice a day actually, just to let 'em air out, if nothing else," he says, to the occasional accompaniment of rifle fire and combat plane. "Also, foot powder is recommended."
Lots more on these folks on the show tonight. For now, file this under things that can't be 100 percent, absolutely proved: TEOTWAWKI Man looks an awful lot like Joshua Clough, the guy who's second from the left on the bottom row in this collection of Hutaree mug shots. Clough, now indicted along with eight other Hutaree members for seditious conspiracy, apparently couldn't cut it with Michigan's mainline militia movement.
Amy Cooter, who's been studying the state's militias for a doctorate at the University of Michigan, says TEOTWAWKI Man looks like Clough to her. She reports that the Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia -- host of the annual Pumpkin Purge -- sent Clough packing at least a couple of years back.
"He was asked to leave because he was not training safely -- just not following basic safety precautions," Cooter says. She describes the relationship between the Hutaree and the rest of the Michigan's militias as distant. The Hutaree are expressly apocalyptic Christian. The rest of the movement, she says, "is concerned with the Constitution."
The TEOTWAWKI Man videos were posted to YouTube under the account of JC2 Productions (Commercials! Weddings! Movies! Special effects!) We wrote to them and got no answer -- maybe because TEOTWAWKI Man is in jail. Maybe.
Amy Cooter doesn't know what she is talking about at all. Just saying.
