Oath Keepers
Oath Keepers is an American organization associated with the patriot movement. It encourages members—some of whom are current and former U.S. military and law enforcement officers— not to obey orders which they believe would violate the United States Constitution. The group is best known for its controversial presence in Ferguson, Missouri during protests and unrest in the city, and during which its members were armed with semi-automatic rifles and were described as a far-right militia group by the media.〔McCoy, Terrence. "The Oath Keepers: The Little-known Militia Now Roaming the Streets of Ferguson." Washington Post. The Washington Post, 1 Dec. 2014. Web. 13 Aug. 2015. 〕〔Dearden, Lizzie. "Oath Keepers: Who Are White Militia at Ferguson Protests and Why Are They Allowed to Carry Guns?." The Independent. Independent Digital News and Media, 11 Aug. 2015. Web. 13 Aug. 2015. 〕
The organization describes itself as a non-partisan association of current and formerly serving military, police, and first responders, who pledge to fulfill the oath all military and police take to “defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”〔Oath Keepers Official Website ("About Oath Keepers" ), Retrieved on 13 August 2015.〕
==Organizational history==
Oath Keepers was founded in March 2009 by Stewart Rhodes. Rhodes is a Yale Law School graduate, a former US Army paratrooper, and a former staffer of Republican Congressman Ron Paul.
Rhodes is reported to have taken inspiration from the idea that Hitler could have been stopped if German soldiers and police had refused to follow orders. In this same context, Stewart has compared Hillary Clinton to Hitler, writing in ''S.W.A.T. Magazine'' in 2008, '“It” (a full-blown totalitarian police state) cannot happen here if the majority of police and soldiers obey their oaths to defend the Constitution and refuse to enforce the unconstitutional edicts of the "Leader." Imagine that Herr Hitlery is sworn in as president in 2009. After a conveniently timed “domestic terrorism” incident (just a coincidence, of course) or yet another Prozac induced mass shooting, she promptly crams a United Nations mandated, Great Britain style, total ban on the private possession of firearms through a compliant, Democratically controlled Congress.'〔Rhodes, Stewart. "Just Following Orders." S.W.A.T. Magazine Apr. 2008. Web. 20 Aug. 2015. .〕
