We have found the location of the 16-19 July 2010 militia training -- Ashland, PA in Schuylkill County. At this time, this isa piece of information that I would consider sensitive, needed for law enforcement personnel and others that you mayidentify.Because the location is currently listed in only one piece of communication, we risk telling them what we are monitoringif we disseminate it too broadly at this time. Of course that would change if it showed up in half a dozen areas ofcommunication -- they wouldn't know where the leak was.If we had multiple hits on the communication, we could safely place it in the PAIB. At this time I would suggest a moredirect communication . How do you want to handle this? Do you want us to produce aspecial alert for you to disseminateto those you identify?Mike PerelmanMichael Perelman, MS, CPPCo-DirectorInstitute of Terrorism Research and ResponsePO Box 56555Ii/adelphia, PA 19111

5, From recent PAActionable Intelligence Bulletins: More generally, recentcommunications from extremist militia forums indicate a growing restlessness and selfreinforcing feeling of impending confrontation with the federal government. It is unknownhow many of the 2-4 MACSHA charter members hold this view; however, there are likelyto be those whose orientation will present a risk to officers in the vicinity of the gathering ,In that context , ITRR researchers continue to monitor anti-government militiaorganizations promoting armed, dispersed and "leaderless res istance" against what theydefine as the "New World Order",Summary:Analysts if the Institute of Terrorism Research and Response expect a gathering of individualsand/or families in the area of Ashland, PA who may have the orientation to question the authorityof government and law enforcement personnel.The groups have a very strong orientation toward the protection of the 2nd Amendment.

The groups state that they are not "offensive" militia. They will use their weapons only in selfdefense. However, there is no clear definition of self defense - it appears to be an individualdecision.The training regimen suggested by their schedule indicates that some, if not all, of the attendeeswill be carrying weapons and ammunition.
