Next thing you'll be creating some article called Bush as Hitler, or other such claptrap. The Illuminated Master of USEBACA 07:10, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
The initial paragraph is plagiarized almost word-for-word (with a few words and phrases slightly changed) from the Religious Tolerance page about the topic. See here. Jinxmchue 18:24, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Forget it. I will spell this out for you:
It is painfully obvious this was a cut-n-paste job with minor word and phrasing changes. Jinxmchue 07:09, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Fairness And Accuracy For Friendly People, now you've got me curious. Can you provide a citation to the actual FBI report -- I'd like to see it. The Illuminated Master of USEBACA 03:02, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
This is one out of hundreds or even thousands of FBI reports that have come out. Why does this one garner so much attention? Particularly in the light that nothing came of it! The only attacks planned for the millennium were by al-Qaeda. (Gosh, imagine that!) Seems more like an attempt to paint fundamentalist Christians in a negative light.

DoJ Operation Megiddo, of which FBI Report "Project Megiddo" is just a part, may have cost as much as $6 billion dollars and started earlier than 1999-2001; Vicki Weaver had predicted the Apocalypse as 1988, David Koresh as 1995. Robert H. Churchill presented a paper citing Operation Megiddo at the 1999 Annual Conference of the Center for Millennial Studies at Boston University, 9 Nov 1999, hardly a tin foil hat venue. I think it was notable that during the timeframe that al-Qaeda planned and carried out the 9/11 attacks, the focus of DoJ and FBI was on a relative non-problem. Naaman Brown ( talk) 02:52, 28 July 2010 (UTC) Individuals and groups mentioned in FBI Project Megiddo report included Gordon Kahl of Posse Comitatus, Richard Butler of Aryan Nations, Robert Jay Mathews of The Order and William Pierce of National Alliance all active in the 1980s and 1990s. Issues raised related to fears of apocalyptic millinealist activity included the New World Order conspiracy theory and the rise of the militia movement in the U.S. in response to incidents such as Ruby Ridge (1992) and the Waco Siege1993). This would indicate that DoJ Operation Megiddo (or various federal law enforcement concerns gathered under that umbrella term) preceded Y2K and the FBI report by about two decades.

Recent edits have deleted the description of the report as 'controversial', and mention of the ensuing controversy. This is fact and not POV. The Christian Right felt smeared by this report, and they made their voices heard. - Fairness And Accuracy For All 05:48, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Do you guys thing the origin of the name "megiddo" bears mentioning in this article? Most projects don't list the origin of the name, because frequently they're meaningless and chosen to sound innocuous (IE "project eggplant" for CIA drug experiments, 'paperclip' for the requisitioning of Nazi scientists). In this case, though, meggido being the hill that's supposedly the site of armageddon (lit. "hill of megaddo"), it might bear mentioning. Wintermut3 18:18, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
I added a wide array of WP:RS to this article. I don't have time to format them (but can later and seriously expand the article as well, if no one beats me to it). See here:
Quite, quite notable. How was that in question? I found them in <30 seconds. F.F.McGurk 07:39, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm moving these ( [1] [2] [3]) from the disambiguation page. Tewfik Talk 05:44, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
He's the film maker that was defended by the ACLU. Anyone feel like starting an article on him? He seems more notable, and interesting too, than lots of people who have WP articles. Steve Dufour 01:38, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Whatever that video was about, it WASN'T the military. whoever made it made some glaring screwups in describing how things would go.

Does anyone else see this repeated at the start of the article. I tried to remove it but does not appear in the edit page. Some kind of malicious scripting? Who do we report this to?-- Epocalypse2 18:11, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
