Operation Vigilant Eagle: Another Attack on the Sovereignty Movement
Infowars
April 19, 2009
Last week the Wall Street Journal reported on an operation launched earlier this year to target veterans who are members of “militia/sovereign-citizen extremist groups.” Operation Vigilant Eagle was launched in February, “two months before a memo giving a similar warning was issued on April 7 by the Department of Homeland Security.” It is described as a collaboration between the FBI and the Pentagon.

As Infowars points out, the DHS document in question was originally created in 2007 under the Bush administration and dusted off and revised under the Obama administration. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has defended the document and offered a weak apology to veterans who are targeted as extremists.
Documents outlining Operation Vigilant Eagle cite a surge in activity by white supremacists and “militia/sovereign-citizen extremist groups.” According to the Wall Street Journal, a February 23 draft memo from FBI “domestic counterterrorism leaders” cited an “increase in recruitment, threatening communications and weapons procurement by white supremacy extremist and militia/sovereign-citizen extremist groups.”
The aim of the FBI’s effort with the Defense Department, which was rolled into the Vigilant Eagle program, is to “share information regarding Iraqi and Afghanistan war veterans whose involvement in white supremacy and/or militia sovereign citizen extremist groups poses a domestic terrorism threat,” according to the Feb. 23 FBI memo.
In July, 2007, financial reports indicated members of the military overwhelmingly supported Ron Paul. In January, 2008, the Paul campaign released a television advertisement highlighting the fact Paul “received more support from active and retired military than any other candidate.”
Campaign Liberty activists inspired by the Ron Paul revolution embraced the state sovereignty movement after Paul failed to gain the Republican nomination.
“On February 11th, Oklahoma became the first state to act on legislation [to take back state’s rights under the 10th Amendment to the Constitution],” notes Kirk Shelly of Campaign for Liberty. “This action was directly brought about by a Ron Paul supporter, and it is Campaign for Liberty members that will see this battle all the way through to endorse Ron Paul’s candidacy for President because of Dr. Paul’s strong support for the US Constitution.”
Earlier efforts to pass state’s rights resolutions were sabotaged by the federal government after Timothy McVeigh was framed for bombing the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City (evidence later emerged indicating McVeigh was handled by the FBI). By late 1994, at least eight states had passed sovereignty resolution and legislators in more than 20 states planned to introduce resolutions in their 1995 sessions. The federal government and its lapdog corporate media linked these resolutions to the Militia movement blamed for killing 168 people in Oklahoma City.
It should be noted that in the wake of the OKC bombings, the Clinton administration (now reborn in the Obama administration) introduced the Omnibus Counter-Terrorism Bill as S.390 in the United States Senate (by now vice president Joe Biden) and as H.R.896 in the House of Representatives.

As documented by Michele Marie Moore in the book Oklahoma City: Day One, the legislation provided a general charter for the FBI and other agencies, including the military, to investigate political groups and causes at will. In addition, the legislation authorized secret trials, the use of illegally obtained evidence, allowed the military to engage in law enforcement activities (in violation of Posse Comitatus), relaxed rules for wiretaps, and allowed the president to determine who is a terrorist. “The bill was specifically designed to give the President of the United States the ability to name whomever he wished as a political enemy for the purpose of that person’s removal, and the appropriate media label would be ‘terrorist’. One could also foresee, as a result of this bill, great strides in the effort to completely disarm the American people,” writes Moore (see excerpts from Moore’s book here).
The DHS report and the FBI-Pentagon collaborative effort are designed to portray states’ right advocates and Libertarians in general as dangerous white supremacists and “militia/sovereign-citizen” extremists. The DHS report and news of “Operation Vigilant Eagle” were released prior to and after the Tea Party demonstrations around the country in order to discredit the movement the same way the earlier states’ rights movement was demonized and discredited.
Release of the DHS report was followed by a barrage of particularly vicious media coverage of the Tea Party demonstrations. Advocates of states’ rights and less government spending were mercilessly portrayed as everything from kooky conspiracy theorists to dangerous terrorists. Fox News and the establishment Republicans supported the movement in order to intensify critical media coverage by “liberal” elements, although many Republicans are sincere in their support of the movement.
Commentators had a field day with Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s supposed support of Tea Party principles and his assertion that if push came to shove Texas would secede. Perry is a Bilderberg darling and hardly an advocate of states’ rights.
However, as the liberal David S. Bernstein admits, today’s states’ rights movement is more popular and powerful than the government and media sabotaged version of a decade ago, “thanks in large part to the conservative-libertarian network that was formed and energized around Ron Paul’s presidential candidacy, and the large online communities of liberal-hating conservatives.”
According to the Boston Phoenix writer Bernstein, the Tenth Amendment movement is a John Birch Society plot foisted on government-loving liberals by the likes of Jerome R. Corsi and the “eponymous” radio host Alex Jones, a “full-throated conspiracy hawker.”
Short of another false flag attack like the one perpetuated by the government in Oklahoma City, the liberal media attempt to discredit the growing and wildly popular states’ rights movement (and the larger movement to reestablish a constitutionally limited republic) will fail miserably. Millions of Americans now realize the Obama administration is a front for the bankers and the “bailouts” and “stimulus” are contrivances designed to impoverish and enslave the nation.
We need to be vigilant to this very fact — when the government faces growing opposition it invariably resorts to manufactured terrorist attacks at home and abroad. Our rulers are dedicated to destroying the Constitution and ushering in world government at all cost. As the attacks of September 11, 2001, demonstrated they will not think twice about killing thousands of people in order to realize their plan to convert the world into a nightmarish global slave plantation with a high-tech control grid overlay.

American citizens are being classified as terrorist, period. The false flag events won’t be too far off, but I wonder if, when these events happen, if the fringe groups will use them to actually start the first real revolution, or if we’ll all just cower around our TV’s like we did on 9/11, and go oh how horrible, and give up our liberties to feel a little more secure.

Watch for more school shootings, probably several. The next one will feature a Kalishnikov or an AR-15 variant, subsequent ones will be with large capacity semiautomatic handguns.
The reason for these choices should be obvious to the casual observer.

I’m still stocking up on ammunition.

I have it on good authority that there are 25 million rounds of 9mm sitting on the docks in New Jersey that can’t get past customs for no good reason other than the inspections are refusing to release them and not giving any reasons.

Well that explains why nobody can get 9mm ammo right now. I don’t even have a 9mm gun so personally I’m not too worried. I’ve already got an assload of .22wmr. I can get more for my money with this caliber and it’s deadly accurate. Later today I’m gonna get more slugs for my 12 gauge.
John Titor was right Reply:

The weapon of choice in John Titor’s timeline, was the 12 gauge shotgun, the last weapon to be demonized and one of the most deadly.
http://www.johntitor.com
12 gauge reloading is fairly simple, so an investment in a reloader, and a good amount of reloadable shells, primers, etc will be a good investment. Most of the 9mm that is available is non reloadable… if you can get it… the price at least here, went from 200 dollars for a 1000 rounds 2 months ago, to 400 dollars a 1000 rounds, and this is just standard plinking ammo.
The trick is, and I have it on pretty good authority, that the government has stopped allowing the ammo factories to purchase reloadable military brass and is buying up all the available military rounds, to keep them out of the hands of the American people, so those cool sniper rifles and assault weapons they wish to ban, after a year or so, will be nice, shiny sticks with no ammo to go in them, thus making it much easier for the American people to give them up. The pawn shops and stores, including Walmart have already instituted a 2 box maximum on ANY ammo at all locations in my area. This roughly translates into about 30 minutes to an hour on the range.
So, Titor said buy a shotgun, and a hand gun, and become proficient with them, get a bike, and start riding it, and prepare for the worst. It seems that, yet again, he was right. The government bans of Ammo will effectively kill all assault weapons within a year or two, even with moderate shooting / range time, most people will expend their supplies within a year. 1000 rounds really isn’t that much ammo, especially if you shoot in competitions.
12 gauge will probably be the last ammo you will be able to buy in any form of quantity, and that’s IF you can find it on the shelves now. I highly recommend buying a marine version of the 12 gauge, so that rust will not be a problem, and it will hold up during the most harsh conditions.
The Saiga 12 is a nice assault style shotgun, in 12 and 410 gauge, but it’s parts are extremely expensive, and it is not rust proof.
If you can get ammo now, stock up on it…one day, it will be worth more than silver and gold to those who need it.
Here is a snippet from Titor’s site… see if any of it rings true to you today… and this was in 2000.
On my worldline, life is not easy. We live in a world recovering from years of war, poison, destruction and hate. All of it, courtesy of the thinking and actions of people that live right now in the same world you do, worrying about which stocks to buy or whether or not a stranger is lying to them on the Internet.
I believe that hardship and challenge develop character and community. My first experience with war came when I joined a shotgun infantry unit at the age of thirteen. In the 4 years I served as a “rebel”, I watched hundreds of people get shot, burn and bleed to death. I know exactly where I was and every detail of the exact moment the first nuclear warheads began falling on Jacksonville. I know the pain and regret of not acting soon enough to enjoy a relationship as a loved one dies of brain cancer from a war that gained nothing.
How can you possibly criticize me for any conflict that comes to you? I watch every day what you are doing as a society. While you sit by and watch your Constitution being torn away from you, you willfully eat poisoned food, buy manufactured products no one needs and turn an uncaring eye away from millions of people suffering and dying all around you. Is this the “Universal Law” you subscribe to?
Perhaps I should let you all in on a little secret. No one likes you in the future. This time period is looked at as being full of lazy, self-centered, civically ignorant sheep. Perhaps you should be less concerned about me and more concerned about that.
Imagine you are Jewish and you are able to travel back in time to Germany in 1935. All around you are the patterns of thinking and action that will lead to a great deal of harm, death and destruction in just a few years. You have the advantage of knowing what will come but no one will listen to you. In fact, they think you’re insane and the situations you describe could never happen.
What I feel is not anger, it is sadness that you cannot see what I see.

I am a veteran of the Iraq war and I find it an insult to me and all Americans who served their country and those who continue to serve, that the US Government would ever think to profile soldiers as ring wing extremists. You may as well lock us all up when our time of service is up. We the people need to take back control and give control to the states which has a right to its sovereignty.

Same old DIRTY TRICKS by the PTB

Liars, Cheaters and Dual Israhell socalled citizens infest our Republic working for their own agenda
The Avalance has started and I really see no way to stop it as the hole is very very deep
We all must think for ourselves and do the right thing what your heart tells you when the time comes for YOU !!!

Why is this site NOT COVERING the huge scandal of AIPAC using fascist tool Jane Harman (D) to interfere in their spying court case on their behalf. She did it, she is a traitor to America, guilty of treason. She did it for Israel. This story is now up on at least half a dozen credible news sites. But not here? ? ?
Today is a very good day to test the credibility of Prison Planet. If they continue to refuse to run this story……….draw your own conclusions.
This site is a joke. Be careful here folks, this is nothing but a big dragnet to monitor all the rebels and patriots who see through the lies. And you don’t always get the full truth, especially where Americans selling out their own nation to AIPAC is concerned.

That’s what I keep telling people but they just continue to sit on their ass. There hasn’t been any resistance yet at all. The Jews didn’t resist either and look at what happened to them during the Holocaust. I could march to Washington by myself but I’d be outnumbered and outgunned so that’d be useless. Although maybe it would inspire more people to do this much-needed march. I can’t do this by myself.

What in the hell is all the bitchin’ about? Of course “returning” vets are a “threat” to the powers-that-be. So are the rest of us who took an oath “…to support and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, both foreign and domestic…” Right now I’m not having any trouble figuring out who my “domestic” enemies are. In fact I’ve had a pretty good idea who they are for about 40 years… Have the rest of you been sleepin’ on guard duty? Good question Gunner… but I hope it’s not the “fringe” groups that start the fight. I wonder what it will take to get some red-blooded, freedom-lovin’, down-in-the-dirt-grunts, men that are still under oath, to stand up for our country?

More than likely my friend, it will be the deaths of their fellow American’s at the hands of the government during the gun confiscations that are in the works to happen in the next 6 months. The tea parties were watched, to add to the death list of people likely to stand up, who were likely gun owners, and who were likely to stand up against all this. So, it will take the deaths of many of our friends, and loved ones, before most people will even move towards their guns.
I just hope that it won’t be too late.

Ex-soldiers, dissatisfied with the regime that sent them to war, are the greatest domestic threat a regime ever faces. THIS IS TRUE AT ANY TIME IN HUMAN HISTORY, FOR ANY NATION. Even without an over-arching organisation, these individuals have not just been trained to rape, torture and murder, these individuals have actually had experience engaging in such obscenities, against the innocent, simply because they were paid and order to.
Meanwhile the dribbling cretins that are the sheep at home, are told that these returning butchers will not use their new found skills on their own people, out of a sense of ‘patriotism’.
Now, people with an IQ of at least 20 know that the vast majority of career criminals that engage in extreme violence are ex-soldiers. Ex-soldiers make the best members of any organised crime family. They are key in the illegal drugs biz. They are key in the sex slavery biz. They are key in the armed robbery biz. They are key in the illegal weapons biz.
Governments cynically accept the massive crime-waves that accompany their massive active armies. What they do not like, and actively fear, is that the criminal tendency converts to a ‘political’ tendency. You see, these state-trained butchers respond very badly to civilian style control threats. They have already learnt to deal with the ultimate fear- fear of imminent death, and anyway, know that their homeland civilian regime is ill suited to dish death out on a battlefield scale.
HOWEVER, ANY OF YOU SEEING THE ABOVE ARGUMENT AS GOOD NEWS ARE IDIOTS. Any sophisticated civilian administration has already planned for all contingencies, and already intends to exploit such disaffection amongst ex-veterans. You see, the ‘meme’ of support your boys in uniform is actually something infinitely more devious. The real message is ‘fear your boys in uniform’ so that you will support your government creating endless new wars to keep the trained butchers a long way from home.
Now, no-one will wish to admit this. But, the more the wars grow, and the more the uniformed become people with first hand experience of rape, torture and mass murder, the more the families and communities of these people are happier when these ’soldiers’ are back ‘doing their duty’. “Please let Daddy come home safe” soon becomes “Please keep Daddy safe as far away from Mom and me as possible”.
WAR IS HELL. If you cannot get your head around this simple message, and its profound implications, you are lost. Those that go to hell will mostly come back carrying many of the qualities of hell. Only something on the scale of a World War can have an aftermath so powerful that it makes everybody reassess what they have previously been through, and maybe turn to a better path. On the other hand, WARS OF AGGRESSION, as fought by depraved racists from America and Israel, breed hyper violent, militaristic psychopaths. Regimes from Nazi Germany to Obama’s America therefore have to keep tabs on all veterans from their wars of aggression.

My take is that since we will be all classified as terrorists, THAT could be a reason to round us all up into FEMA camps…that is round us all up off the streets since we will all be homeless…Plus, in the FEMA camps there will be no internet to get any message of any sort out…and in the FEMA camps there will be an atmosphere of fear and people will not talk about the wrongdoings of the gov’t…or the butt kissers will rat the Patriots out for their own advancement. However, those of us who are in the Patriot movement WILL talk about what is going on and THAT will make it easy to.
1) Cut down on the massive talk/propaganda on the internet
2) Publicly and immediately show the other FEMA campers what happens to dissenters (pure and immediate negative reinforcement teaching and illustrating what happens to the dissenters). Who knows, will it be the guillotine or the gallows for us Patriots.
3) Positive reinforcement for those who adapt the hive mind, they collect 200 dollars, pass go and get let out of the FEMA camp.
It’s a beautifully NWO and a heinously diabolical plan that would serve a number of purposes. Yes, they do not want to have to take down the internet BUT they can round us all up and control the momentum that is being made by the Patriot movement. Killing many birds with one stone (round up)
