"This FBI file is an excellent case study of the tracking of a hate group. A group of right-wing extremists, the Posse Comitatus was formed in Oregon in the early 1970s. Established as a group of citizens "voluntarily acting in the name of the local sheriff to enforce the law," the Posse Comitatus hated Jews, African-Americans, and government officials above the rank of sheriff."

"This extreme right-wing group takes its name from the Latin for "power of the county." Its founders, Henry Beach and William Potter Gale, were radical localists who claimed that the county is the highest and only legitimate level of government to which citizens owe allegiance. it is only the county, they argue, headed by a sheriff chosen by the community's white male residents, that possesses the right to enforce the law. According to Posse doctrine, the law itself is derived from the Bible, English common law, the Articles of Confederation, and, more vaguely, the U.S. Constitution. In their minds, no "Jew-dominated" legislature or Congress has the ability to make laws that "real, white Americans" are obliged to follow."
