== Allegiance to Trump? ==
== A previous religious affiliated organization? ==

I seem to remember a previous organization named (iirc) "Oath Keepers" (I don't think it is related to this organization).

IIRC, I ran into the organization at various church functions, and, iiuc, their focus was on father's fulfilling their fatherhood (my choice of words).

Does anybody remember that organization? Did I get the name wrong? Does it still exist? Is it related or somehow a predecessor of this organization?

Thanks for any information! I'm sorry if this entry doesn't meet the criteria for appearing on a talk page -- hmm, but if there is another organization with the same name, I think it should be mentioned (and "disambiguated" somewhere (if not related to this organization)).

{{Edit semi-protected|Oath Keepers|answered=yes}}
I was a juror in the trial of Rhodes, Meggs, Caldwell, Watkins and Harrelson. This topic isn't covered well so there isn't much to edit, but, one thing that is wrong in the Oathkeepers post is that Thomas Caldwell, was not an Oathkeeper, he just knew them and supported them, but if I put on a Ravens Jersey and go to a game, it doesn't mean I'm a Baltimore Raven. Thomas Caldwell met them at a rally in Virginia and allowed them to camp at his farm in Berryville. His only other connection was staying at the same hotel with them and wearing a shirt for a picture on the morning on Jan 6. For the hotel part, he made a reservation there as he lived locally and gave advice to others that it was a good place to stay and those from Florida and Ohio, made a reservation at the same Comfort Inn, he didn't store his weapon with theirs, which according to him was an antique rifle that he brought only to show Ranger Doug. The Oathkeepers have a formal process to join their organization and Thomas Caldwell didn't complete it, he never should have been grouped as a "leader of the organization" and tried with them. I wish we could have found him not guilty of everything but he did go "out of bounds" on capitol grounds so we found him guilty of obstruction of a procedure and he deleted a bunch of Facebook messages the day that Jessica Watkins was contacted by the FBI so we found him guilty of destruction of evidence as from that point he reasonably could have assumed that he was going to be investigated. ] (]) 14:33, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure how reliable the Blaze is, and I'm hoping that more reliable sources will report on this claim to see if it's true or false. Anyway, the Blaze is claiming that video from January 6 proves that one of the witnesses who testified in the Oath Keepers trial lied under oath. The video has been made public, so it should not be hard for other sources to investigate the claim by the Blaze.
