n another clip, driving along the highway, Musico launches into a monologue against compulsory seatbelts.
'I'm forced to wear a seatbelt in a fully-protected automobile, that I bought,' he said. 'My rights are being taken away from me!'
In a series of memes in 2017 Barry Croft praised Donald Trump as 'inspiring!'
He posted a video of himself in a garage, in a Revolutionary War tricorne hat, talking about how civil liberties were under attack and the government was 'coming for you'.
'You've got Bill Gates talking about his vaccines, and how it's going to be mandatory for everybody to have his bracelet,' he said.
'I'm going to tell y'all, man, it's unmistakeable. A lot of people have said: "Oh, you're a conspiracy theorist" - but I'm telling you, they are coming for you; coming for your freedom, coming for your religion, and they are not going to stop, period.
'Even the police, Mr I've Got a Job to Do. They are even sabotaging religious expression. I know y'all like backing the blue and that - but these people are not your friend.
'I want you to know something, because I'm not stupid. These people are pushing you to hostility. They want hostility to break out. They want a reason to be able to use military force. That's why they are doing all this stuff.'
Brandon Caserta, another of the six, on social media praised the Declaration of Independence as 'an anarchist document.'
He posted photos of himself rapidly loading a rifle, wearing a 'F*** the government' shirt.
In a series of videos he urged followers to 'wake the f**k up' and warned 'the price of freedom is eternal vigilence'.
Meanwhile, Musico posted a video entitled OK Boomer, that shows him drive with Joseph Morrison, reportedly his son-in-law, and ranting against the modern world.
'We as a society are morally corrupt,' he says. 'The government forces us to live on grid, on a power line. Thanks, Boomer!'
Morrison joins in with his anti-establishment, anti-modern world musings.
'Some of the best vehicles I've ever owned were early 90s, pre-Nafta, built to last,' he says.
A Twitter account which appeared to belong to Musico spouted, for several months in 2016, a stream of conspiracy theories and anti-government rants.
'Donald Trump would be great for this country he wants the middle class to succeed the class of people that built this country,' he tweeted in May 2016.
'We need to get away from the controllers of this country and become America again that's what Trump wants.'
