There are estimated to be at least 857 Militia groups in the United States today (source: Southern Poverty Law Center). The Internet has become a significant resource and rallying point for these groups, with many supplying homepages and websites to a very professional standard. Their basis in the community of Patriot/Militia is to disseminate information (rumour and suggestion), and for anyone studying the militia phenomenon, they are an invaluable primary source.

Characterising these sites as Right Wing presents problems. Clearly many are, however others have a left-wing, anti-authoritarian slant, and, as Michael Kelley has suggested (New Yorker, July 1996) the corpus of militia beliefs amounts to a 'fusionist' reading of the contemporary world.
