Oath Keepers is Going "Operational"

Forming Special

"Civilization Preservation" Teams

Oath Keepers is instructing it's 30,000 members nation-wide to form up special teams and sub-teams in each Oath Keepers chapter, at the town and county level, modeled loosely on the Special Forces "A Team" (Operational Detachment A ) model, and for a similar purpose: to be both a potential operational unit for community security and support during crisis, but also, as mission #1, to serve as training and leadership cadre, to assist in organizing neighborhood watches, organizing veterans halls to provide community civil defense, forming County Sheriff Posses, strengthening existing CERT, volunteer fire, search-and-rescue, reserve deputy systems, etc., and eventually to assist in forming and training town and county militias (established by official act of town and county elected representatives). We want our chapters to organize themselves as a working model that we can then take to other veterans organizations, such as the VFW, American Legion, Marine Corps League, etc. in each town and help them establish such teams within their already existing veterans halls. And likewise, to serve as a model and training cadre to help churches, neighborhood watches, and any other civic organization organize.

We are basing this on the Special Forces model, which has a twelve man "A team" of specially trained soldiers who are inserted into a community to train and lead that community in resistance to oppressive regimes (hence their motto: "De Oppresso Liber). SF's primary mission is to teach, organize, and lead, rather than to directly fight. They can fight, of course, but they are most dangerous as a force-multiplier by helping an entire community to fight. We will do the same - be force multipliers to help prepare communities so they can preserve civilization by providing their own security, disaster relief, infrastructure preservation, emergency communications, strategic food reserve, and medical care.

In an SF team, there are:

Two communications experts
.
Two Medics
.
Two Combat Engineers

(who can do more than demolitions. They can also build bridges, dig wells, install water-treatment, irrigation systems, etc. ).
Two weapons experts
.
An Operations NCO
.
An Assistant Operations NCO
who also does intelligence.

A commanding officer, and his assistant commanding officer

.Each SF soldier is first trained to be light infantry. They all go through Army Basic Training, Advanced Individual Training (AIT)(usually at the Infantry School at Ft. Benning), Airborne School, and then the SF Selection course, where they learn land navigation (including a difficult timed night land-nav course), wilderness survival (including a graded field "survival" exercise), and patrolling (including reconnaissance, ambushes, raids, reacting to ambush, movement to contact, etc), along with a timed ruck march, obstacle course, rappelling out of helicopters, and hand-to-hand. And then they learn their specialty of one of the above - medic, commo, engineer, weapons, etc. Then they put it all together in a field training final phase where they are dropped into the fictitious country of "Pineland" (in the mountains and forests of North Carolina) and have to teach and lead the indigenous people (played by other recruits waiting to enter the training) in irregular warfare against the enemy.

Then, once they graduate and make it to Group, they all cross train, each specialized team of two training the others so they are all pretty good at all tasks, but experts within their chosen specialty. They bring each-other up to a high standard of capability. And by having two of each specialty, they have redundancy (two is one, and one is none) and the ability to split into two teams of six if needed. They can function as a very capable fighting squad if they need to, but their primary mission is to train and lead others in irregular warfare.

Oath Keepers is using that successful model and adapting it to our mission, to form Oath Keepers "Civilization Preservation Teams" (we have already received critical input from some of our Special Forces members, and are actively seeking more input from others within the Special Forces community)

I honestly see Stewart Rhodes as the Samuel Adams (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Adams) of the modern age. I praise him for what he is doing and I hope that the American public forms enough militias.

So, we'll all be distracted by the foreign soldiers coming to our neighborhoods, while the criminals in DC and their puppet masters look on. All of us will be fighting each other while the real criminals sit back and watch. Maybe with glee at their handywork.... They think they're untouchable right now.

Don't get me wrong, I believe in the Oathkeepers. And their hands will be tied in the neighborhoods and survival. IMO it's the wrong battlefield. The battle should be taken to the criminals' territories where we can make the arrests... and other things.

In order to start a revolution, you have to start out small. Stewart Rhodes does not have the intention of staying put and having the criminals come to him and the militias! His intention is to start out small with small organized groups eventually gathering together, forming larger and larger groups until we reach D.C.!

In order to have a big outcome, once must take baby steps.

This is only their operational strategy that is local, legal and protective of civilians. Oath Keepers are at all levels and spread horizontally and they will legally do what is necessary to right the Constitutional wrongs and address treason where it exists. Just know that they are alive and well and amongst you to help when needed.

Peace!

this sounds interesting as heck -- Oath Keepers seem to be good people.

I hope FEMA doesn't point too many guns in their faces when OK is delivering water to flood victims lol

[northstar]

I wish there was a group like this in Canada.

[Bob]

I agree - very interesting thread starting here.

[M0JFK]

Give me liberty or give me death. Not from my cold dead hands. When the government fears the people you have freedom, when the people fear government then you have Tyranny. One day the people of America will wake up homeless and starving in the street should they ever let the financial institution of banking print and issue their currency. Oath keepers to honour your oath and defend against the enemy of the constitution be they international or domestic. Time to back up the oath people. To arms patriots... to arms.

[Tesla_WTC_Solution]

Something sad I noticed: the Feds shut down our local Army Corp of Engineers park yesterday because of the shutdown;
today one of the City parks was cleaning out homeless camps (Oct 2) --

2+2= tyranny

I participated at the Oathkeepers site when it initially was formed and suggested many of the things along the lines of civil preparedness that they are now touting. If I recalled it didn't go over very big. Also, if you are a liberal, you are basically a personal non grata there, although that may have changed now to some of the leadership there FINALLY coming around to the concept of "community."

Very good insights. Agree with you.

Like all other organizations, there are FACTIONAL elements within Oathkeepers. The group is largely conservative and doesn't view liberals too favorably on the whole. People need to know that.

[Tesla_WTC_Solution]

Well, Eric, Frank Herbert said of liberals: they are closet aristocrats

As a semi-liberal, I had to do some soul searching about my own bratty fantasies before really being able to appreciate conservatism

p.s. once repubs stop defending rape I might listen to them more

stewart is a former military guy and a fellow paratrooper , hoooyah ... the little thing the ptb forgot , veterans took the oath and it means something , there are true patriots that love their country and it's people , and they are willing to be first to fight and shed their own blood to protect freedom even for people they have never met ... veterans will always protect the constitution , an idea bigger than all of us , you can't kill that ... you can kill a person , but an idea is immortal ...

[Robin]

When it comes to taking down the US government and military, there is no way we would be able to win. Their technology is beyond what we have or can obtain.

During the American Revolutionary War, advanced technology was unheard of. Whatever technology existed was in the hands of the public domain. Everybody had muskets and that was it! In a way it was a fair match technologically.

Also, Washington's troops had the disadvantage of garnering funding. Most of the men had to bear cold winters without the proper attire or supplies. Many walked around barefoot and had barely enough food to go by. Yet they achieved one of the greatest feats in the history of humanity.

I would contend that if we are going to overthrow the US Cabal, then the US military is going to have to wake up and turn against them. If they do not do that then the general public is going to have a rough ride coming.

[GoodETxSG]

I was told to keep an eye out for this but was still caught off guard. I honestly didn't think this would happen until other major events happened. Is this card being played too soon... or showing them too soon? DHS/NSA is Bird Dogging this and its players like crazy right now for certain.

My question is why has this happened now? Is it for political reasons or is there some Intel that is not being reported? There is not a lot of info following the announcement...

When I received the email in my inbox I was slack jawed...

[Robin]

I'm also beginning to speculate that the November controlled electric grid system going down drill is a test run for their plan to launch an EMP. I think that there intention is to very soon kill the internet because they know very well that it is a powerful tool that is waking up the masses with the alternative media. This correlates with what McCain and others are saying about laws restricting or banning alternative media. It also correlates with Newt Gingrich's book One Second After about the possibility of an EMP attack by another nation or by the sun that would wreak devastation on the American public.

Why would a former Republican House Speaker--with no scientific credentials--write a book about EMPs and the reality of one happening soon? Does he know something that we don't know? Is he aware of the NWO plan? I think so.

I think that it is very likely that a cyber/EMP attack can very likely be on the horizon. They are afraid and do not want the internet around anymore.

Thoughts?

Do the Oath Keepers have an Sheriffs? Sheriffs constitutionally have the right to stop arrest on national parks, it would be a good sign of Oath Keepers support if a sheriff somewhere stands up.

Sheriffs have rights over the feds ... and thus they have no doubt been targeted and bought off to whatever degree possible (illooneynaughty way of course).

Many many sheriffs ... each county in each state.

Yes many many of those are awake and aware.

Actually ... many of the law enforcement officials fall into that camp even if they lack the "federal" right to do so.

Military? Don't think that is "the problem".


The "problem" is DHS, FEMA and other agencies that were built on the illusion of protecting the peoples they "allegedly" were representing. UN troops from all over the world has long been suggested (implying they won't hesitate to shoot americans whereas American troops would).


They have been built into a militarized force perhaps as strong or stronger (depending on who you believe) than the military itself.

Oath Keepers have the training and skills (heart and integrity). No question.


Problem there is access to "breakaway civilization" or "offworld" technology.


Not a small issue ...


Interesting message from Simon Parkes (though I cannot quote it from a members thread) is the fate of (this version of) humanity rests on whether or not the military/law enforcement stand for or against the common people.

He suggests if they let the elite have their way then the protection for the planet will be withdrawn and humanity as we know it will give way to the next generation hybrids ...

Wish he had remained with us here to confirm to all ... so all I can do is paraphrase and offer yet another "unprovable" possible scenario.

Well we can worry about the UN troops when it comes to it but I mean stopping the arrests of Veterans and citizens trying to visit the memorials and national parks, if the sheriff tells Ranger Smith he can't arrest them, I am pretty sure he loses the power to arrest them.

Sheriffs have jurisdiction over the feds ... at least in their own counties as far as I am aware.

No idea if that would extend beyond county border (into another with a national park etc).

[spiritguide]

How many federal laws are being broken by the government with this shutdown? Reason for the question is this. They shut down because of not agreeing on a budget. Well if you had a business and did not have a budget it doesn't mean you have no money, all it means is that you did not outline how you would spend it. How many of us live on a tight budget monthly. If we don't budget it doesn't mean we are broke it just means we pay the bills helter skelter. The government is not broke, the elected reps just don't want to pay their commitments. We provide the money to the treasury and they are not paying our bills. If anyone gets re-elected then we are all pansy a$$es. Both parties are involved in this scam. Government workers get paid leave on our dollar all the while inconveniencing their paymasters we the people. Stop all pay for everyone and send them home or resume work as usual and do the job right according to the Constitution. IMHO

Peace!
