Surprisingly on-topic, I should point you to
http://www.clark.net/pub/klaatu/finale.html - which  is a paper done by one
Professor Charlotte Meador on the subject of "Fantasy-Theme Chaining in
Cyberspace: A Rhetorical Vision of the US Militia Movement".

It has less to do with the actual militia movement (though that is to some
degree covered) and has more to do with group formation via online media, and
in this particular regard, is something of an original.
