New Patriot Movement

The **New Patriot Movement** is a loose collection of left nationalist / populist movements composed largely of poor white combat veterans, libertarian socialists and disenfranchised citizens who held disdain for the United States Government. Advocates share a common belief in individual liberties and civil responsibilities, support for a social revolution and the restoration of the U.S. Constitution. The group was founded and led by Alexander Jones with Barry Hoover a former soldier of the United States Army acting as a combat adviser.

During the Second Civil War they defeated the military forces in many counties and cities primarily in the Western and Southern United States, possessing a number of territories and a main base of operations. They formed a coalition with the Revolutionary Army and the Black Guards which resulted in the **United Front**.

## History

### Origins

Many of the militia groups and populist organizations formed in response to the contradictions of the GOP Tea Party movement.
The **John Brown Gun Club** was one such leftist gun-rights group originally based in Kansas which was active between 2002 and 2008. John Brown was a 19th-century abolitionist who was part of the Underground Railroad and helped create the League of Gileadites, which helped protect escaped enslaved people from slave catchers. He eventually began leading guerilla raids in pro-slavery towns that resulted in multiple deaths. In 1859, Brown was convicted of treason in South Carolina and executed for his role in the failed raid on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry. The affiliates of the John Brown Gun Club have dedicated themselves to emulating Brown’s brand of direct action in support of freedom and equality.

### Early Activities

The Gun Club firmly supports members’ rights to bear arms for their own protection and as a safeguard against state overreach.\* The Puget Sound John Brown Club in Washington state is one of the most visible chapters. According to that group, the John Brown Gun Club seeks to disrupt fascists and fascist organizations and events. The Gun Club arms itself to defend against far-right violence and often appears as a security force at protests to protect against expected far-right violence.

### Forming an Alliance

Following the defeat of the police and military forces of Georgia by the Revolutionary Army its leader requested a meeting with the leadership of both the New Patriot Movement and the Black Guards organization. After two more days of lengthy debating and discussion a formal treay was drafted for a political and military alliance between the three organizations.

Alexander Jones, Dante Bishop, Barry Hoover, Jacob Rogers, Maddie Cooke, Thomas Richards and Gabby Hernandez held another week long meeting to discuss strategy and tactics that the organization would undergo.

## Internal Structure

### Strength

In the Second Civil War, the New Patriot Movement had a strength rivaling that of the Revolutionary Army with nearly two thousand men, organized into infantry units with machine gun teams and sniper detachments. At its peak they possessed Semi-Auto Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Pipe Bombs, Machine Guns and Small Arms. The militia also owned some armored Humvees and even a **Cold War Era** Battle Tank. Led by Alexander Jones and Barry Hoover in which they organized their paramilitary into four light infantry units with an auxiliary force.

Most of the patriots at the end of the series wear body armor and combat helmets that help resist gunfire from the United States National Guard, S.W.A.T. and military forces. The elite rangers also wield powerful, flashlight-equipped semi-automatic rifles and military sniper rifles. Some even used Magnums, Sawed off Shotguns as well as melee weapons such as machetes, hatches and other blades. A select few possess gas masks to resist tear gas and smoke deployed by the police and military forces.

Their skill in defeating the military forces was well known, The patriots have done well against the military in several other areas, notably the State of Kansas, where the Patriots used the civilians' discontent with state government and the military's authoritarian rule to orchestrate a fourteen month-long uprising against the military.
