MilitiaWatchThe III% movement is a far-right national brand of militias based on the ahistorical notion that only 3% of the US colonists fought against the British in the American Revolution. Like the Oath Keepers, the III% movement was founded in 2009 in reaction to Barack Obama’s 2008 electoral victory. The group is insurrectionary in nature but engaged in paramilitary activity during the Trump years when the action was against their claimed political adversaries–BLM, ‘antifa’, communists, etc. The movement is highly prone to splintering, coverage of which is a fixture of MW writing.
Below, you will find all MilitiaWatch articles mentioning the brand of militias.
