FINALLY! I have made the illusive George Gramlich/Militia connection! There, on the internet, for all to see - we have the Sipsey Street Irregulars, a Three Percenters blog, reposting a speech that George had written about the founding of his online Sentinel... ...in 2015. So no anti-Trancher rhetoric.

A second post, directly from George Gramlich, was added in July 2016, talking about a massive anti-gun control Independence Day Parade and gun rights. I guess those Tranchers should thank George for helping to preserve their right to keep all those guns they're toting around. There was also a repost of an article George wrote for the Sentinel about a Patriot's Day Celebration in 2015.
More 3pers
And then that blog shut down in 2016, long before the Tranch was founded.
Goodbye, 3pers

However, the articles mentioned a number of groups to check into.
The first I looked up was Liberty Action Group of Pueblo West. I found a YouTube video of a speech given to them in Apr 2013 by Erik Rush, and a post on Michelle Morin's blog about their Christmas dinner in 2011 (
Boring Conservative Dinner) - and nothing else. One of the organizers seems to have died in 2016 (
RIP, poor lady)
There was also the Southern Colorado Patriot's Club, whose last facebook post was in 2014 (
Facebook ;
archive), so no massacre at Tranch Point plans there. There was a mention of the SCPC in the Sangre de Cristo Sentinel in 2018, with regards to the Independence Day Parade (
Parade) so they may still be active, but no longer searchable on the internet. If that's the case, and they're the secret threat hovering over those peaceful troons, one certainly wonders how they're making public threats to Pennywise.
This article about militias in Colorado says that 12 were identified by the SPLC, and 11 of those were affiliated with the Three Percenters. (
Be Scared of Men With Guns!), but all my 3per searches have failed to come up with threats to the Tranch, which leaves us back with the conundrum of how the Tranch knows these threats are being made if they aren't findable on the internet.
Just because it also came up in the search results, I looked at the page for the Tea Party Patriots, and they also had nothing about the Tranchers (
Coming up blank)
There seems to be a lack of conservative/militia presence on the major social media sites, almost as if they were made unwelcome and headed elsewhere. I might check Gab and Minds tomorrow to see if George has a presence there, but I'm still at absolute zero for online threats to poor Penny and his harem.
