    Mark-Paffrath-th

    Did you know that taking pictures of Department of Homeland Security vehicles and posting them on the internet could land you on a terrorist watch list, or even in prison?

    Navy Veteran Mark Paffrath, who recently took pictures of DHS vehicles parked in full public view at the Drury Plaza Hotel in Missouri has been terminated from his job, threatened with imprisonment and branded a terrorist. 

    Paffrath was on his way to work when he saw the vehicles and decided to snap some photos and a video. Within minutes of uploading the pictures to his Facebook page he was called in by his supervisor who asked that he remove the pictures. But the next day, after Paffrath had already complied with the request by his employer to take down the highly controversial pictures which had already gone viral, he was met by Drury Hotels head of security Jim Bohnert, who promptly terminated his employment.

    One of the reasons given was that Paffrath reportedly almost cost the hotel a $150,000 contract with the government.

    As if that wasn’t enough, Paffrath also claimed Bohnert told him, ”[Y]ou’re a terrorist and you have dishonorably served your country by posting the photos and video.”

    When Paffrath told Bohnert he never put the location of the vehicles on the photos or the video, Bohnert reportedly said “all they have to do is click on your name and see where you work.” Paffrath said Bohnert concluded their conversation by saying “if you repost the photos and video you will have the Federal government knocking on your door and you will be incarcerated.

    The Department of Homeland Security has not commented on the incident and refused to provide details on whether the vehicles were being massed at the hotel in anticipation of the Grandy Jury decision over the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO earlier this year. The Drury Plaza Hotel is located approximately 30 minutes from Ferguson. According to local police and the FBI, riots and civil unrest could break out in the St. Louis area following the decision set to be released this week.

    (Pictures of DHS and Federal Protection Services vehicles snapped by Mark Paffrath led to his termination)

    Let’s be clear about what happened here.

    Mark Paffrath was driving to work and entered the parking garage, presumably at his workplace. Whether the parking garage was available to the public is unknown, but it appears hotel employees and guests have access to it without the need for any sort of security clearance.

    The Drury Hotel provided no guidelines to employees about the purported secret nature of the DHS meeting. As evidence of this, the day after Paffrath took the pictures the hotel shoddily put together a white board of do’s and don’ts for their employees. Among other things, hotel management asks employees not to “brag to your family” about the Department of Homeland Security group after they check out of the hotel:

    All accounts suggest that no confidentiaility or secrecy agreements were signed by employees of the hotel as it relates to speaking with people not associated with the hotel about what they see during their regular work day.

    The DHS vehicles were parked in full view of employees and other guests.

    Mark-Paffrath(Pictured: Mark Paffrath served in the U.S. Navy and was deployed overseas)

    Mark Paffrath snapped several photos and a video, uploaded them to his Facebook page and was terminated from his job for doing so, even after he complied with a request to remove the offending images.

    Moreover, the hotel’s security director branded him a terrorist, something he more than likely did not come up with on his own because who in their right mind would brand someone a terrorist for taking pictures of an SUV, even if it did belong to Homeland Security?

    Thus, DHS obviously put pressure on the hotel chain and given the history of their behavior, which includes flagging millions of innocent Americans on terrorist watchlists even if no evidence exists, the first domino in this sequence is more than likely a misguided government official with nothing better to do than target Americans who are simply going about their business.

    Mark Paffrath did nothing wrong and his documentation of DHS vehicles through the utilization of a mobile recording device is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution of The United States of America and has been upheld by the Supreme Court.

    But rather than following the letter of the law, we are seeing yet another example of a government that has overstepped its bounds and another large mega-corporation who happily does its bidding.

    As we’ve made clear previously, the Patriot Act passed after September 11th under the pretext of stopping terrorism has now been turned on the free people of The United States. The definitions for terrorism are now so broad that a child playing with a bubble gum maker that looks like a gun, a person selling his own brand of silver coins, or a man snapping a picture of a government vehicle are now all on par with ISIS and Al Queda terrorists.

      1. To hell with DHS, Obama and the rest of his evil minions.

        • And the jackass they rode in on.

          • “and the whores in D.C. they road in on”

            fixed that for ya.

            • Per CNN said Ferguson Grand Jury Decision will come Friday and then be Announced on Sunday, said the 48 hour delay will be needed to let Law Enforcement to get into place. Said they worry that decision will be leaked before Sunday.

              I’ll leak the decision right now. Officer Wilson NOT GUILTY of any charges.

              • grand jury does not make a guilty or not guilty decision.

                • Bob: You win this weeks legal prize. Grand Juries don’t find on guilt as you stated. If the supermajority (2/3 or 3/4) believes there’s enough evidence then they issue a ‘True Bill’ where the prosecutor then indicts the defendant. If there is no ‘True Bill’ the prosecutor usually drops any further action. It’s an uphill battle without it.

                • Funny how people forget that.

                • If the grand jury does not vote “true bill”, the prosecutor CANNOT bring the case to trial. They don’t get to decide. I’ll bet a ton of dollars that the district attorney himself, perhaps even with a justice department type, were the ones presenting this particular case before the grand jury. By the behavior of the DA the Grand Jury knows what decision that he wants. The DA (a lawyer, aka, of moral flexibility) will influence, as much as necessary, the decision that he/she wants (yes, this is against the rules, but realville has its own set of rules on how things work.)

                  The grand jury is the citizens best way to stop judicial over reach. If you EVER get the chance to serve on one. Don’t be an ass and duck it, do everything that you can to get on it, morally of course. I ended up on it quite by accident (clerk didn’t send out GJ notices, only normal jury, aka petit jury, notices. Judge came in and drew 18-20 names and said : you are on grand jury duty now. Two folks pathetically linked out of it, the rest, did their duty over the next three months. Eye opening doesn’t begin to describe the experience. Jury was 1/4 black, rest white, good mix of young and old, but tended to older. Certain things, the blacks voted in lockstep, even when the perp was guilty without a doubt. Lots of petty drug nonsense was kicked by the group as it was so minor, I’m not sure why the cases were brought. I think threatening to take something to the GJ is a way to entice folks to plead on stupid, misdemeanor 1st time drug possession nonsense. One guy was in there for a bag of Shake that the dog alerted on. Yes, we kicked that one to the curb. Citizens, we have to take care of each other, serving on GJ is your single BEST way to watch out for the citizens.

            • actually it is suppose to be HORSE they rode in on! but who cares as long as they all go to HELL !!

              • Yes, but they ride jackasses, the symbol of the dummacrats.

            • Heard a funny thing on the radio. They were asking general knowledge questions. The question was-
              “What party is associated with the donkey?” and the lady says “Jackass?”

        • The guy who took the pics has the makings for a 1st Amendment lawsuit.

          Go GIT ’em!

          • If it is a right-to-work state such as my state, then they can fire you for any reason.

            • LMAO!!! I love a good lawsuit!!! This guy will be able to retire to Arizona once a jury gets a hold of this!!!

              USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! 🙂

            • EAST TENN – Enjoy your enslavement by your colective bargaining unit ?

              • Unions are the only weapon against slavery. Think big banksters, corp titans, or the govt whores will be on your side?

                • So, you’d rather the union negotiate the terms of your slavery for you? Whilst taking a cut of course. Good logic there….

                • Are these the same unions trumpeting the legalizing of millions of illegal border hoppers that bring down wages for the rest of us?

            • True but if he(his boss) told anyone that this guy was a terrorist he has a slander suit.

            • That is right. In a right to work state, they do need to be justified….any reason will do.

              • *not

                People like me really need and edit feature Mac 🙂

              • Right to work states are states that do not let unions force membership into the union by individuals who do not wish to participate…and only applies to unions and their membership. Most normal employment(non-union) is ‘At-Will’ which means that you can be terminated by your employer for any reason(of course except for those protected by Federal law, race, creed, sex….etc)….or you can leave for any reason. Works both ways. As a business owner – you should not have to ‘prove’ anything if you wish to fire someone. I wouldn’t want it any other way. That doesn’t mean that this manager isn’t a grubby slug, because he is, but he can fire an employee at will….

                • Thanks for the correction,explanation and reminder. I knew that, not sure how my mind went with “right to work” rather than “at will.”

          • What is funny about your comment is that you still think there is a First Amendment to rely on.

          • I would think labeling this Vet Guy as a Domestic Terrorist is Slander and Libel. He should sue for Millions and soon own that Hotel.

          • I am no lover of DHS or our government overreach but I went to Marks Facebook and did some research. First he was an employee for the hotel where these rigs were parked. Just because there are some DHS, FBI, US Military… or whatever vehicles parked somewhere does not mean there is “something going on”. As an employee he was bound by their rules and one of them was privacy of the guests (whoever they may be). This is in the employee handbook (which I looked up). So he broke his companies rules. There was a number of ways he could have got these pics to the public if he wanted to: third party, send them to the multiple alternative news sites who would have been happy to post them including here on Macs site, Secondary Facebook account (what…!… you don’t have one of these and claim you know OPSEC… WOW..), and use a used computer you bought on craigslist and use a Secondary (fake) g mail and face book account and do it at a coffee house with tier Wi Fi. He also stated that as a veteran he is being oppressed. I am a retired Vet and I don’t like people throwing the “ Vet card” when they violate their companies policies. If you don’t like the polices then find a new job. I did and it worked out well. He also stated he received specific medals. Turns out he did not receive all of the medals he claimed he did which now calls his reputation into question. Now he has a “go fund me” account for $10,000 to help with his living expenses and “legal fees” of which he has no legal fees. If he wants to sue the Hotel chain most lawyers on a wrongful discharge suit that actually has merit will work on a contingent percentage if they win. No money up front required. I have no problem with people exercising their first amendment rights and ferreting out things going on and letting us know but you have to use your head. You also have to be truthful in all things and have integrity.

            • It looks like I got played like a banjo.

              I’m reposting what another poster wrote further down the thread to get more exposure. Please read the linked article.

              FAIL.

              I thought you guys were know-it-alls on psy ops.

              FAIL.

              See: http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2014/11/18/defeated-by-psy-ops-psychological-operations-conservatives-fail-every-time/

              EXCERPT:
              “The hotel employee, 28-year-old Mark Paffrath, is a member of the Justice for Mike Brown coalition. When someone sends a picture or video labeled “#NoJusticeNoPeace” (Landscape) it should have been a big tip-off. Yet various conservative sites and groups fell for the “framed victim narrative” (the landmine).

              The psy-ops push provided by Argus News who hosts, and pays, several of the Justice For Mike Brown livestreamers (bigger landscape). Yet even then, that didn’t set off the alarm bells.”

              • Slave you are one of the sharpest post folks here…. We need to stop saber ratteling and get the facts before we post and read the whole storey…. Mark is not the victim…….

                • Thanks Man on the Inside, but I just trusted that Mac had all the picture that we needed about the situation. Hence, I’m grateful to Kauf Buch for the additional information.

              • Freeslave, looks like we all got played like a banjo on this one. Very interesting research you did. kudos to you.

              • We knew they were coming to Furguson. This man blew their OPSEC.I suppose the DHS wanted their vehicles hidden in an underground parking lot so rioters don’t find and destroy them like the radical blacks posted a reward for the cops family address to destroy them too.

                Which, BTW, comes out of YOUR pocket to replace or fix the damage. They don’t buy insurance, they are self-insured and take damages out of Federal funding.

            • Finally, a breath of logic and sanity. Well said, MOTI…

            • Personally I am laughing my ass off and find this hysterical.

              Thanks for the real info Man on the Inside and Kauf Buch.

            • Facebook seems to lower the IQ of users. I keep hearing about people posting things that can get them into trouble, and the thought that “Maybe I don’t want this traced back to me” never even crosses their mind.
              So many people seem to be starving for their 15 minutes of fame.

              • more like 15 minutes of Lame

          • I would also, PERSONALLY name James Boehnert in the wrongful termination litigation lawsuit against the hotel. Drury Hotels would have to prove that “somehow” Pfaffrath “knowingly” violated the rules of his employment, instead of the utter BS excuse given for his termination.
            This will not turn out well for the Drury Hotel chain,nor for the alleged security professional, Boehnert who terminated him. Bioehnert nade the claim that Pfaffrath is a “terrorist”, LET HIM(as well as the hotel chain) PROVE IT.
            Such stupidity and illegal behavior is precisely why this Republic is in serious danger, people like the boobs that own the Drury Hotel and their idiot security director, are indeed a danger to our civil and Constitutional Rights. Note to all: NEVER stay in a Drury Hotel.

        • This is utterly unbelievable. I mean, I believe it, but I don’t want to believe it.

          I can think of only two responses off the top of my head.

          #1. Everyone boycott that hotel. And tell them why. Massive e-mail, letter-writing, publicity campaign to this hotel. Get some high mucky-muck fired for firing Mark Paffrath! Somebody at that hotel must issue a written apology to Mark Paffrath!

          #2. Do the same thing as #1 to the Intimidating Thugs at DHS. But send it to your elected Congressional representatives.

          P.S. One more. Help Mark Paffrath find a new and better job. He did nothing wrong.

          P.P.S. By doing the above, the community is protesting civilly and within the rule of law. Unlike the Michael Brown Ferguson protesters. See the difference? Kapeesh?

          • BJ, that’s *not* “Law and Order” what the DHS did to Mark Paffrath.

            No way, man!

            This prepper stands against the Ferguson rioters, looters, and arsonists. And that if Law Enforcement violence is required to do that, then it’s morally correct and justified.

            At the same time this prepper stands against the DHS intimidation of Mr. Paffrath.

            I don’t know how to explain it any better. Maybe someone else can try.

            • I understand you perfectly, you want overlords for some but not for all.

              IOW, you not only want the nice pretty cake with jello pudding inside, you actually want to teat it as well.

              • BJ: “I understand you perfectly, you want overlords for some but not for all.”

                There is only One Lord. And He is Lord of all. Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

                Better to do it now while living.

                P.S. I want righteous authority for everybody.

                P.P.S. I read somewhere the following: “Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God!”

                But one has to be careful as to what constitutes tyranny. Or whether there is a sustained, unlawful, can’t-be-self-regulated-or-self-corrected governmental state tyranny. Until this liberal Obama administration I would not believe that America is under sustained governmental tyranny. But with the forthcoming pronouncement by Obama to provide executive amnesty plus all the other horrific, malevolent, premeditated scandals of the past 6 years of his liberal administration, I think there’s a solid case that this country is under Liberal Tyranny.

                • “There is only One Lord. And He is Lord of all. Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.”

                  Your preaching to the choir, and ducking at the same time.

                  May I suggest you read “Romans 13” by Chuck Baldwin.

                  • BJ, you are starting to sound like Helot, he is an idiot also.

                • “Until this liberal Obama administration I would not believe that America is under sustained governmental tyranny.”….

                  ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!

                  • You caught that too….LoL

                    Sounds like a govt. shill

              • Well no shit.

                Why do you think everyone’s convinced the elites would chop them up for mulch?

                Because… that’s what [i]they’d[/i] do to all the EBTers…

                Projection much?

            • Well just to be clear, I don’t think DHS had anything to do with this guy getting fired. At least according to this article. It was the hotel management and hotel security that was doing the intimidating.

              GR

              • Sounds like head of security formally *worked* for DHS.
                Might explain how the hotel got the contract to begin with.

                A message to the fine folks at the nearest fusion center –
                I’m really fucking tired of this “terrorist” shit.
                Keep on bandying that word around. Like you don’t know what it means.

                One day You people might just find the devil at your door.

          • twitter = @DruryHotels

          • BJ, you’re misunderstanding something here. NOBODY here supports DHS or any other federal agency for that matter.

          • DHS isn’t there to protect, they’re there on Obama and Holder’s orders to INCITE and PROVOKE! Don’t think for one second this is a good thing. If you do, you’re a fool. If they were there to round up and haul off the instigating welfare wards of Ferguson and their leaders like Sharpton, etc. then that would be GREAT! But it’s not their mission. Their mission is that of Obama, to destroy and disrupt and jail innocents who speak out against them. Do not be fooled.

          • BJ:

            It seems from your posts you have decided the “people” in Ferguson who were out in the streets, looting, etc., were REALLY there because of “Mikey” and his family. Is that where you stand?

            It should be very obvious to you that Obama, Sharpton, Jackson, and the rest of the “wiggs” who got involved in that fiasco, could care less about Mikey.

            The hoodlums and the hoodlum backers in suits who came to Ferguson for Mikeys funeral, I would like to know just how many of those people were concerned about Mikey and just how many of those people wanted to show their support for their “brothers” who are being taught to tear America apart.

            Little Mikeys mom and dad, who by the way had never been married, had a prepaid trip to Geneva to testify about how the United States needed the UN to participate in what is happening in the US. You agree with the UN poking its nose under our tent BJ?

            “Never let a good crisis go to waste” certainly covers what happened in Ferguson. And the bastards who are working behind the scenes salivated when they heard a white cop had shot “little,innocent, black boy” Mikey.

            Had that been a white kid shot by a black cop, would we have even heard a blip? Would you have felt the same way you do about this particular “story”, BJ?

            When Obama makes a secret trip to Ferguson to tell the agitators to “stay the course” what the HELL do you think he meant BJ?

            He means to destroy America by what ever means possible, and those feral agitators in Ferguson is what his brown shirts are/will look like.

            So, BJ, I believe most posters would like to join forces with a legitimate group that wants to clean out DC, the MSM and the lying talking heads, the rich pricks that have stolen us blind through the privately owned federal reserve, etc. That is where legitimate opposition to all which ails us should begin; not with the “ilk” being shipped into Ferguson.

            What is left, is where is the leaders? I have no doubt there are some people on SHTF that would give their life to take back America, but to date there does not seem to be enough.

            I think you are a religious man BJ, and knowing that Revelation says it is going to get worse, much worse, before He comes to clean house. He says to have your ears up, that before the tribulation there will be a great falling away of Christian belief; and that definitely is happening as we speak.

            I know the government police forces and the patriot act was passed to take all rights away from us BJ. bUT BY supporting the front lines in Ferguson you ARE SUPPORTING THE GOVERNMENTS AGENDA, apparently for some reason you cannot see that.

            • POG, excellent post, I agree with your analysis and attempt to educate BJ.

            • Great post, Granny!

            • POG = It seems from your posts you have decided the “people” in Ferguson who were out in the streets, looting, etc., were REALLY there because of “Mikey” and his family. Is that where you stand?

              BJ = Yes and no.

              Yes, some were there for Mikey. You have to remember, in the heat of the moment with emotions high…..right doesn’t matter. So whether they (friends and family) were right in that Mikey was innocent or not is irrelevant to them. There were also some, I imagine, that were there on behalf of Mikey and the community….right or wrong doesn’t matter to them either. I am sure there are those who truly believe Mike was completely innocent. I don’t know, nor does anyone else nor will anyone else in the future know exactly what happened except the pig, the friend and the dead guy. I do believe full heartedly that the pig screwed up in judgment and could have done many other things to avoid or de-escalate the situation.

              No, in that the lack of critical thinking, judgment, morals, common sense, intellect, sense of family and certainly God are absent in those highly populated black communities, there will be a majority of those out to just “have fun” and create destruction and violence.
              One thing I think is happening that many aren’t thinking of, is that this has the element of an accumulatory thing.

              POG = It should be very obvious to you that Obama, Sharpton, Jackson, and the rest of the “wiggs” who got involved in that fiasco, could care less about Mikey.

              BJ = Of course! It has been obvious to me for many years that the black leaders and politicians care not about anyone but themselves and use the minorities, especially blacks, as stepping stones. I will not get into any more discussions that even involve a hint of a left / right thing and I have a hard time respecting anyone who does. I don’t mean to be rude or nasty, but I feel I just have to say that to be true to myself and honesty. We are so beyond this side is good or better it isn’t even worth discussing. Anyone still in that thought process, is beyond even trying to talk to.

              POG = The hoodlums and the hoodlum backers in suits who came to Ferguson for Mikeys funeral, I would like to know just how many of those people were concerned about Mikey and just how many of those people wanted to show their support for their “brothers” who are being taught to tear America apart.

              BJ = See above, in last response.

              Little Mikeys mom and dad, who by the way had never been married, had a prepaid trip to Geneva to testify about how the United States needed the UN to participate in what is happening in the US. You agree with the UN poking its nose under our tent BJ?

              BJ = No I don’t think we should have anything what so ever to do with the UN or vice versa. Mom and Dad not being in a contract with the state through an unconstitutional license to marry is totally irrelevant. If I could go back in time, I would have never gotten a marriage license from the state and allowed the state to enter into a contract between God, my wife and myself, making them also involved by true law in every aspect of anything that union produces…..children. In fact we have talked about divorcing and marrying one another God’s way, with no state involved. But, again this is irrelevant. Their decision to accept a free trip to anywhere was their prerogative, I don’t think it adds or detracts from the case. The part that pisses me off about the trip, is that it was probably paid for by the victims of tax……us!

              POG = “Never let a good crisis go to waste” certainly covers what happened in Ferguson. And the bastards who are working behind the scenes salivated when they heard a white cop had shot “little,innocent, black boy” Mikey.
              I agree, it has happened many times before, but this time seems to be more developing in TPTB’s favor.
              Had that been a white kid shot by a black cop, would we have even heard a blip? Would you have felt the same way you do about this particular “story”, BJ?

              BJ = Anyone reading my posts, should already know the answer to this, but I will state it again. I know the organization of cops is UNConstitutional and almost everything they do is unconstitutional. People on here can call me what they will, a liberal, a utopian fool or whatever. I don’t buy, “it is unrealistic and can’t be done in today’s world”. I am an extremist by nature and an all or nothing guy. I think and wish communities would start to rise up like some in Ferguson are EVERYTIME there is a cop shooting….minus the hurting of innocent people or harming personal property.

              POG = When Obama makes a secret trip to Ferguson to tell the agitators to “stay the course” what the HELL do you think he meant BJ?

              BJ = Again, no offense, but this is irrelevant at this point. Every leader we have in this country has committed high crimes and should be executed.

              POG = He means to destroy America by what ever means possible, and those feral agitators in Ferguson is what his brown shirts are/will look like.

              BJ = I have known that about bo since before he was elected. He is no different than bush and cheney, just plays differently. Nothing he has done has really surprised me, I remember reading this before the sycophant took residency in DC. ht tp://www.colony14.net/id41.html

              POG = So, BJ, I believe most posters would like to join forces with a legitimate group that wants to clean out DC, the MSM and the lying talking heads, the rich pricks that have stolen us blind through the privately owned federal reserve, etc. That is where legitimate opposition to all which ails us should begin; not with the “ilk” being shipped into Ferguson.
              What is left, is where is the leaders? I have no doubt there are some people on SHTF that would give their life to take back America, but to date there does not seem to be enough.
              I think you are a religious man BJ, and knowing that Revelation says it is going to get worse, much worse, before He comes to clean house. He says to have your ears up, that before the tribulation there will be a great falling away of Christian belief; and that definitely is happening as we speak.

              BJ = Actually I do not like the word religion or religious and do not consider myself as such. When I hear those words I think of buildings that fools go to and call church out of ignorance, among other things (I am getting lazy and tired of typing). I consider myself a saved believer in Christ, constantly screwing up and trying to know God more intimately, and searching for more wisdom, knowledge and discernment, peace, love and joy. It seems the layers to the onion never end.

              POG = I know the government police forces and the patriot act was passed to take all rights away from us BJ. bUT BY supporting the front lines in Ferguson you ARE SUPPORTING THE GOVERNMENTS AGENDA, apparently for some reason you cannot see that.

              BJ = I have said many times in the last few days that there are no good guys in the Ferguson fight….NONE. I can’t stand behind the pigs in this fight and then have a good conscience and not feel like a hypocrite. I am way more fearful of govt. and their dogs then I am of the idiots that wan to riot. The rioters won’t affect me or most of you if you are smart. The govt. and their dogs do every day and will continue to in worse ways. So I don’t like or support either, but find the govt. and their dogs a little lower.

              I have never spent this much time typing out a post or felt the need to use WORD like I have in this post. I hope it explains everything well enough and that you appreciate it…..I hate typing! If you knew my job and how much I have to at work, you’d understand. I would be way more in favor of face to face or at least vocal debates versus this typing electronic communication. A lot less miscommunications too 🙂

              • I used word and made my replies red and in italics. But when I pasted into here it didn’t turn out that way at all.

                What’s up with that? How do some of you get things in italics and colored text?

      2. Same Shit, Different Day.

        It’s all BS, the .gov is lying “always”.
        Just stocked up on Jif peanut butter.
        We were able to get the 16 oz. jars for $1.38 each.
        That’s what I call stocking up within the budget. 🙂

        Y’all try to enjoy the day. 🙂

        • Where did you find that deal, HillBilly?

          • Evening US,

            It was at Ingles this past week. Today started the new sale. They had it on sale last week for $1.98 each… but, if you buy 5 at a time they kick in another $3.00 off. (Smuckers deal) hell ya I love a deal 🙂

            This week they have the McCormick spices deal going on. I stopped after work and the Cream of Tartar is on sale for $3.59 a bottle, if ya buy 3, they will kick in another $3.00 off. That makes it $2.59 a bottle. If y’all have been paying attention, it’s almost $6.00 a bottle, even at Wally world. 🙁

            Y’all remember… if ya want to make baking powder later, ya need to stock up on the cream of tartar. While baking powder will lose it’s ability as a leavening agent as it get’s older (something about the tartar acting with the corn starch and baking soda.) If the ingredients are kept seperate… they last a long time. (we store them in mylar with O2 packs)

            Vicki Tate, in her “Cookin’ with home storage” book say’s to mix 1 lb. of cream of tartar to 1/2 lb. baking soda and 1/4 lb. of corn starch. (we cut each to 1/2 that) 🙂

            Anon and Buttcrack, you better believe I check the dates.
            I always get the newest on the shelve they have. That way when we pack it in mylar with the O2 packs we figure that gives us another 2 years or so past the best by date. 🙂 Most of the dates were for Sep. 2016.

            Y’all play nice now. 🙂

            hillbilly SC

            • Thanks, Hill. Dum Spiro Spero

            • thanks hillbilly, some good stuff there…which is why I come here!

        • HillbillySC. So did you check the expiration dates? Any deal too good may have a glitch.

          • who gives a sh*t about expiration dates…i just used my last jar that was over 4 years old, and not a damned thing wrong with it…..i DOUBT if you deter anyone HERE with talk of an expiration date…..at least i HOPE not!

            • and just so y’all know…i OFFICIALLY miss the thumbs! i think it takes away from the site….SO much, that it’s not my number ONE anymore….it just aint the same!

              • Those thumbs up/down were really gay. Don’t miss them at all.

            • Buttcrack,
              I’ve done some un-scientific experiments. I kept a case of black beans in my attic that “expired” in 2011, and I just ate a can the other day. They are just fine.
              Also bought some MREs ten years ago and never opened the box they were shipped in until now. They taste fine right out of the package.
              They build in a significant “safety factor” for foods like those, just like they do for rope and cable and organic vapor cartridges and other stuff.

              • i got married to the wife i just got rid of 4 and a half years ago….a year before i married her i bought baked beans for the 28oz can 69cents….i just had a party for local preppers, and fed them those beans with a little kraft BBQ sauce added for flavor, and i had several compliments how good they were….at LEAST 5 and a half years old

        • Hillbilly SC Kroger $0.99 exp 2015

          • Morning C,

            I would have love to have that deal…

            The nearest Kroger is in G’ville. Way to far away for our tails. 🙂 Bad thing about living in the sticks is the choices. (we are not complaining) Don’t want to live any where near somewhere like Greenville. Nice to visit once a year or so when we want to go to Northern Tool or a gun show.

            I’ll have to part with a Lil’ bit more of the money up front ’round here. ( Hell… I hate driving over to Seneca to go to Wally world, matter of fact… I hate going to Wally world.) 🙂

            Enjoy the day and keep “Packing ‘n Stacking” 😉

      3. Wow.

        • No real story here…..those DHS people are Law and Order for the idiot law breakers in Ferguson, MO.

          Go DHS Go DHS Go DHS!!

          • BJ, careful, that’s some pretty strong sarcasm there.

          • BJ is off his meds! He doesn’t read the posts, he just likes to troll!

            Go ahead and apply for a DHS job. Go through the diversity training and be the useful idiot for the Muslim Brother in the hood!

            • I’ve been on this board for 4 years and some here know me personally, so you can call me a troll, but it will reflect more on you to longstanders here than it will me.

      4. Sooo, the most obvious first question for our brave veteran is; why the FUCK didn’t you get right right back in mr. security goons face and a)educate him on the 1st amendment and its meaning and b) repost said pictures immediately and tell DHS, FUCK YOU AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON. You want me? Come and get me! What the hell, they already fired you AND labeled you as a terrorist. Might as well go for it.

        • To put this story in context, consider the following:

          1. The First Amendment is inapplicable to this story as it relates to this man’s employer (Drury Plaza Hotel), because the First Amendment deals with government restrictions on free-speech, NOT against private-sector employers. When you are on your employer’s property and payroll, their rules, restrictions, code of conduct, policies are what you’re bound to and can be punished for violating.

          2. There is no grounds for an unlawful termination lawsuit because MO is an at-will employment state and there is not a cognizable Public Policy Exemption relating to the activity for which he was terminated.

          3. DHS will not pursue further actions against Mr. Paffrath because, as a governmental agency, to do so, barring a claim of a criminal violation related to Mr. Paffrath’s activity, would be a violation of his First Amendment right.

          4. The lesson here, aside from the clarification on the application of the First Amendment, is: don’t bite the hand that feeds you (unless you’re prepared to go hungry or to find a way to feed yourself).

      5. Everybody needs to pay attention to vacant warehouses with the parking lots or garages full of white DHS or UN vehicles. This Just Goes to Show us The US Government is Rolling Ferguson as a FALSE FLAG EVENT, To Crash the Party with a severe crackdown smack down, and Rollout Martial Law and Gun Confiscation.

        *DHS Vehicles Spotted by Navy Vet:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhraoUC_pks&feature=youtube_gdata_player
        The Navy Vet was fired from his job for posting these photos on his Facebook and the DHS Pulled the $150K contract from the hotel.

        • Why I think the people in Ferguson who are good law abiding people ought to rent their garages and lawns out to the DHS to park in….that way they are some much closer and get to crackin heads faster. Much better than in a parking garage 15 mi away.

          • BJ, How about the fine folks of Ferguson hiring the assistance of the KKK to help them fight the rioting domestic terrorists. You OK with that? Cause the KKK has offered their assistance. Americans helping Americans.

            • I am.

            • My comment was tongue in cheek. But what the hell, lets let them all brawl it out and eliminate one another….I just hope that in the end, our biggest most worrisome enemy, the ones in uniforms are decimated the most.

          • Do ya think that they would realize that by renting parking spaces that they are participateing in free enterprise ?
            Good lord , NOT Capitalism !
            LOL , I thought they loved their EBT socialism too much for that !

          • Who is to blame? The slave? Or the Master Race that imported them, sold them into slavery, and then programmed them for a different type of slavery?

            Love thy neighbor. Our dark-skinned neighbors are as much enslaved by the banksters as we are. Point them in the right direction and they will be our allies in just punishment of the guilty.

            • I’ve often said, well maybe not often, but those slave traders had as good a distribution system as our modern day drug cartels. Trekker Out.

      6. Someday,I don’t know when,there will be an accounting of government actions. May it be soon and the least violent as possible. (But honestly,given gov. arrogance,I don’t think it will be)

      7. FERGUSON Standoff IS A FALSE FLAG EVENT. OBAMMA Tells the Rioters to stay the course to roll out this False Flag event. Al Sharpton in on this Scam too. This is a bigger scandal than the “Fast n Furious Gun Running Scandal”

      8. What happened to ‘See something, Say something’?
        Must have meant something totally different?

        • They’ve changed it to “See something, say something, grap something while you’re bending over…”

          • Can anyone say ‘double standard’?

            • Double Standard. Hypocrisy. Grotesque Inconsistency. Total bullscheiss.

              • Hmmmm?

                Interesting choice of words.

        • Eppe, to DHS morons, I think it does mean something different when the shoe is on THEIR foot. Apparently there appears to be an exception when it’s something related to DHS.

          • Photography is not a crime. And the public had full access to the same parking garage. Anybody could have posted this. The Hotel owner (Whore) is pissed cause he lost his $150K Freebee parking contract. Like that is a hell of a lot of money to park a hundred vehicles for a few weeks. Like just goes to show you how loose the Givernment throws around “our money” to hid things like this from the public. EXPOSE EVERYTHING!!!

            • WWTI, excellent points.

        • this is why i keep a low profile. if my supervisors, who are all liberal democrats knew i went to ohio in 2012 to stop an obama re-election and am a conservative book author; i wouldn’t last the week.

          (and btw, lena’s not my real name either; lena was a russian woman i used to see. i’m a middle age white guy. sorry to tell you other conservative guys hoping i was a hot conservative chick.)

          • Oh lena, now you tell me, and I’ve already ordered flowers and made the reservations. lol

        • See something, sat NOTHING, or else!

        • “the hotel’s security director branded him a terrorist”

          So he is a terrorist cause Barney Fife says so ?
          Not hardly .

          • This may be another attack by DHS to paint Vetrans as Domestic Terrorists. Lookie there that big fat white elephant in th e parking garage. Like nobody was going to notice. Follow the elephant to their next hiding spot.

          • Doesn’t what Barney Fife say..stand?
            Oh.. how I yearn and pine for the sweet days of Mayberry. Back when we still would see dozens of monarch butterflies in one moment, and when gas was .10cents a gallon…

            • AHHH yes , backyard bomb shelters and MCarthyism .
              The good ol days.
              Seems to me the kids are still hiding under desks in fear of commie attacks, just as in the fifties.
              History repeating itself.

          • Hammerhead, the hotel security director sounded like a fascist moron to me. If I’d been in that veteran’s shoes, a certain hotel security director would’ve been laying on the floor with a broken nose at least.

      9. As far as I’m concerned, this man did nothing wrong. From a legal standpoint, since there was no signed agreement between him and the hotel regarding confidentiality, the hotel doesn’t have a leg to stand on. They obviously reacted to pressure from DHS goons. the guy is probably better off leaving that hotel anyway. It’s possible some better opportunities could come along for him. Nothing DHS does is legitimate anyway.

        • BH.The so called communist Gov of the USA does not need a leg to stand on.They white folks will not do chit.

          • Tacoma, whoa there, now I can believe that with all of the liberal-minded white folks but there are others who will do something.

            • BH I have been around 77 years and have watch this country degenerate to what? NOTHING..Watch how vocal Blacks get when things do not go their way.What do the white people do? NOTHING.They think typing away on the key board,bragging about what they will do when such and such things happen is all that matters. Sorry it will not be that easy. Want to know a little secrete. The junkies in Washington DC know it better than anyone.As far as I am concern it is put up or shut up.For me it is sad I have to be so damn old with diabetes and have to set on the side lines and wait for the white people to grow a spine.No whoa to it.

              • Tacoma, I understand your frustrations, but this is one here who will stand up and fight. I don’t know how many others will but I know damned well what I’ll do.

      10. RE: Weather; Buffalo NY got 65 Inches of Snow. lol

        • Buffalo police dept has shot 92 dogs in three years. one cop shot 25 alone. probably a USA record.

          • And lots of dogs Do things that make them deserve to be shot. lowlifes commonly have vicious pit bulls and other breeds of aggressive dogs. There are plenty of dogs that make good pets. My old mother beagle dog who is blind in one eye and 10 years old just presented me with 5 puppies! Four males & one female.

            • Old Guy

              And there is no accountability when a dog is shot.

              Love your dog? Hide it from them.

            • Old Guy….You dont have a slight suspicion that when ONE officer shoots 25 dogs, he might just be doing it for fun?

              • Seems the mail man can get by with pepper spray, which the donut stuffers have too.

      11. “TYRANNY” We are moving into an age of Hard Tyranny in America. Just study 1930’s Germany this is eerily similar.

      12. Janice Dickinson Raped me 30 years ago

        I want my dam money bitch!

        • Bill Cosby Stole my Jokes. OOPS that was someone else on this board.

          • WWTI:

            Give it a rest WWTI. Some people like to read jokes, some people like to read preps, some people want to know the why and wherefore of how America got to where she is now (that’s me and you). Your prepping and govt. info is great.

            I think Jesus Christ is going to send you a wake up call over your posts about HIM and the Bible, I KNOW for certain it will be one you will NEVER forget when it comes.

            He is NOT responsible for what you see happening in the churches today and they are in for a rude awakening; it is written.

            The one unforgiveable sin is blasphemy, WTTI. So take it or leave it, you can never say you haven’t been told.

            • BTW:

              I could care less what non believers think of my post to WWTI, so save your fingers for something else.

            • Give it a rest, POG. The Jesus story and the bible are a hoax. It is you who will learn that and be very disappointment when they day comes.

          • Fuck Off WWTI. Most of us LIKE his/whoever’s jokes.

          • Cosby aka “Mandingo”..

        • I love to watch liberals eat their own. I don’t feel sorry for Cosby one iota.

          • Maddog:

            Wouldn’t be surprised to see Gruber turn up dead. Then, instead of people saying someone got JFK’d (murdered); we will be saying they got Gruber’d.

            • I’m sure Goober’s life insurance has been cancelled.

            • Here ya go POG some class a reporting from the communist news network.

            • POG, you mean a member of “the tribe” get thrown under the bus? Now, THAT would be something.

      13. Any bets that the rioting breaks out in Ferguson right before Obama announces his new immigration policy? Hence, all media coverage will be focused on Ferguson?

        • I would almost bet the house on it, it will be an info dump, and is designed as such, obola doesnt want anyone paying attention to what he is doing so im sure it will all be coordinated.
          The reality with the immigration thing is that all of a sudden the workforce will be flooded with people willing to work for minimum wage to do anything, so your friend the carpenter and his buddies the masonry crew all the way down to the people working in hotels and restaurants will be in trouble of being out of work if they too dont agree to work for peanuts.
          Total bullshit,

          • KULA- I have already heard “rumbleings” from folks who think that Michigan licensing rules should be “relaxed” to help the hispanic community where residential builders licensing is concerned .
            Seems the playin field is gonna slope uphill for those of us already in the game.

            • Thats what guys around here are talking about, theres a few of these guys who are mexican and got licensed and only hire mexicans, they are paying low piecework wages and long established local contractors cant compete, their work is usually shoddy but lots of libtards with money here who just want stuff done cheap and dont know any better, it sucks, a good friend who is a mason and has had his own company for over 40 years just gave up, said he would rather go to the beach and go fishing than fight over the scraps and lose money on jobs. I can relate, have been running into my own situations similar, but in veggie farming, these government idiots will kill off the livelihoods of the people who are paying the bills then they will come for our possessions.
              Fuckem!

              • YEP , and just wait for the unions to back em up !

                Its a brave new (socialist) world !

                • Actually around here the unions want these guys prosecuted, unions are strong here, with so many on the bench right now they are out harassing any contractor not licensed properly and on big jobs are setting up pickets, thats the problem with this amnesty crap is then it takes some of the bite away from the unions and the county and state who have been quite active in harassing these contractors and making sure their peeps are all legal,

              • Kula, That’s Obama’s Big plan to import 34 Million Illegals to work for dirt cheap, to end the Middle class and force us to go on Foodstamps and welfare, to diminish our earning power and make us irrelevant. Sick world we live in.

              • They will shit in your fields … dont hire them.

                • I would never hire anyone, im stepping back slowly so i limit my exposure, would rather be broke than support this crap that is going on, im fine with having nothing in the bank,

          • Kula,
            That’s what immigration has always been about! What? Did you think the very wealthy, who install the politicians(via campaign contributions=bribes) who then enact favorable laws or exert pressure on law enforcement agencies to NOT enforce unfavorable laws already on the books, were just “great guys”? Immigrants are allowed into the country for one reason, they will work for CHEAPER than those already here. Indian, Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotian, Irish, African,ect.

            • sd, There is more than one reason if you look at the big picture. It divides the population even more, creates more dilution of the common unity, brings in third world ideals and lifestyles, helps usher in the repossesion of US assets from the 1933 bankruptcy of the US, gives the owners of the country a cheap labor pool to use that won’t protest or ask questions after they have destroyed the remaining citizen workers, ramps up disease to overwhelm the medical centers so it can spread like fire and help accomplish the genocide of the average amerikun, replaces those who believe in the constitution and rights with those who have never heard of them, the list is long. Now you know why this shit is happening 😉

              • Genius,
                I would agree with the division of the population but the overwhelming of the medical facilities is a by-product of the unwashed masses, not one of the reasons they have have been allowed in the country throughout history. The fact that they won’t complain is tied in with the overall cost of an immigrant compared to someone who is already here. The third world lifestyles,again, are a by-product of unwashed masses, not a reason for their being allowed to enter. I am not sure the Constitution even enters into the thinking of those(Corporations and Ultra-wealthy individuals) who push for more immigrants, they don’t follow the Constitution and laws are on the books for YOU to follow not them. It has $$$ written all over it.

            • Yep, is total crap,

          • Kulafarmer: Not possible after all The unions were his biggest supporters.

            • It is definitely on purpose, these cockroaches dont like the light,,,

        • Bay… also Boner and bitch Mc CONnell will sell us out on immigration… they might throw in a kabuki dance for the conservatives.. but the results will be the same.

          • Now instead of Exporting our Jobs overseas, they are going to Import the Illegals into the country to do the same jobs. Its all about Wall Street Profits. You see Mexicans working on Projects call INS, Border Patrol, ICE and Immigration on the cockaroaches. Job Thieves.

          • I don’t expect much from the Republicans, I hope I am wrong but seems like no one is willing to stand up for fear of losing votes. Sad:(

          • Why do the RINO’s have to be in charge? Why can’t it be Trey Gowdy and Ted Cruz instead of Boehner and McConnell, Obama’s Mitch?

            • Ever heard of Goldman Sachs Freeslave. Cruz Has.

      14. I think Mark Paffrath’ boss should be the one called the terrorist for helping the DHS(dept. of human stupidy) hide there activities from there employer we the people.

      15. Just look at all the wasted Tax Payer money in DHS Vehicles,when DHS has NEVER caught a single terrorist ever, in the 13 years they have received funding. That’s the bigger scandal. So in order to justify the DHS existence they need to drum up a domestic uprising and Ferguson is the Fuse that can light up their justification for militarization of the police. The Government must have thousands of Crisis actors and agitators to get the pot stirred up. Ferguson is a TRAP. Big SUCKER PLAY. The MSM is in on this too, fanning the flames including Race Baiting the Blacks to take action. The World is a Stage Folks.

      16. the “person” calling him a terrorist and all that about a disservice to his country was a hotel security rentacop who made the comment as he was being let go. No one has actually branded this guy anything, and the DHS could evidently care less that he took the photo since they weren’t involved in any of it. The hotel fired the guy over money: they were concerned they would lose a pricy contract and that’s all. while confidentiality is expected, if they didn’t lay out their policies, I cant see how they could fire the guy though. Ash yourself this though- If he took a photo of a customers car he thought was participating in dealing drugs or prostitution and posted it to FB, would that be an invasion of his customers privacy?

        • Marcus, you make some valid points. The moron who called him a terrorist was obviously full of that federal koolaid. if I had been the vet, I would’ve knocked out the guy.

      17. Pictures? I don’t need no stinkin pictures!

      18. Back in 2001, already being rather more awake than average, I saw this coming and left for europe. While it is FAR from perfect, it was clear to me and mine that it wouldn’t be long before all that GWOT (Global War On Terror) stuff would indeed be turned against our fellow americans.

        I used to fly back to the states every single year, until an event caused me realise it was too dangerous to do so ever again. Suffice it to say I was held incommunicado, tortured lightly, without charge, access to phone or an attorney and I repeatedly threatened with 20 days incarceration before seeing a judge and further threatened with being sent to gitmo if I didn’t wave all my rights over a matter that didn’t exist. Strictly due to my having emailed a photo of myself on the plane en route to the US [I’ve had mobile internet since 2002] to a family member, I was released after 48 hours after they tracked me down and payed a five figure bribe – er sorry, “fine” again over a matter that didn’t exist. Upon release, I spent the rest of my vacation trying to find a lawyer who would file charges and get me compensated for the false imprisonment, but not one of over 200 attorneys I spoke with would touch the case for any fee or contigency – including the ACLU.

        Now, just a few short years later I read about stories like this happening with alarming frequency. Yet, despite that, people are STILL for the most part totally asleep, unaware and entirely unwilling to start rising up, fighting back, going on national strike or do anything besides gripe behind their keyboards and monitors.

        I am so sad about this. The momement the revolution begins, I shall find my way back home to provide whatever assistance I can. Until then, I chose to stay out of harms way, safe and ready to take up the fight once it begins. The saddest part is that while I used to believe it wouldn’t take long before I could return, I now am truly beginning to believe that it may never happen in my lifetime.

        Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy seeing the world. I am blessed with ability to stay in europe for now. But, I’d like to go home, you know?

        • “This country’s goin’ to Hell in a Handbasket!”

          I heard that on occasion when I was growing up. Didn’t know what a handbasket was. But the sentiment was understandable enough.

          Old Libertarian, America is in socio-cultural and moral decline. And it’s evidenced in our political governance and news media. And the cowardice of the general population to PC Intolerance.

          • Hiya Free Slave,

            Believe me, I know because I observed it and commented to people who thought me nuts since the late 70s. I did my part trying to wake them all up, but was only told “if you don’t like it, leave it” which I did.

            But, it’s not like that was my first choice.

            Had I better credentials, or a more folksy touch, I would volunteer to lead the resistance and take back the country, but I am not that young buck any longer and I am not with a credible enough “history” to play that role – though I wish I were, because I would do it right and strictly for We The People.

            There is no one worth politically supporting. There is no longer any desire in so many to do “what it takes” to sort things out and correct this mess. We could SO EASILY do it by acting locally and kicking out the centralization taking place. (Remember the PC revolution extolling the virtues of DE-centralization? I do, and they apply to today’s “american’ts.”

            I take solace in the bible and knowing that in not too many more years, I will be going home. Just wish that we left the world a better place for our kids and grandkids, something we will not have done – and for which I am deeply ashamed of both mine and my father’s generations.

            Old Libertarian

            • ” Just wish that we left the world a better place for our kids and grandkids, something we will not have done – and for which I am deeply ashamed of both mine and my father’s generations.”

              I feel the same way Old Libertarian the only difference, God willing I still have enough fight and years left to do whatever it takes. My fear is that the majority of sheeple are cowards and keyboard patriots or simply are happy with their EBT cards, drugs, booze the kardashies and the NFL. Love to have you back for the revolution or better yet civil war but I don’t think it will be necessary since pulling the sheeple from their vises for the freedom of their children is very unlikely. Good luck to you.

              • Hiya Maddog,

                I suspect we both have a few good years left in us, and that we both would be more than willing to sacrifice them in order to correct the madness which we seem to agree is unlikely to be corrected. (Wow, I almost sound as nuts and the terrorst V in V for vendetta there, LOL)

                When I get upset and angry or really sad, I found a nice way to lower the blood pressure. It’s maybe a bit OT, but check out the video of h t t p : //tv.nrk.no/program/PRHO63004009/bergensbanen-minutt-for-minutt#del=1 which is a real time train journey over the mountains from Bergen to Oslo. Almost spiritual to see the beauty of the land our Creater entrusted our stewardship to. (Remove the spaces before the // and don’t worry about the language, it’s not imnportant.)

                Let’s all try to figure out ways to make things right, and share them here. Maybe, just perhaps, we’ll find some solutions that can be workeable. If not, it probably will help us all to feel better for at least trying.

                Old Libertarian

                • Ooops, should be important, not imnportant

              • “Just wish that we left the world a better place for our kids and grandkids, something we will not have done – and for which I am deeply ashamed of both mine and my father’s generations.”

                That tugs on my heartstrings. I just teach them the Joy and Love of their Savior and to trust Him in all circumstances.

                As a little peon in the whole scheme of things what else can I do?

                • FreeSlave I replied last night.

                • FreeSlave,

                  I don’t know, truly I don’t. But I do tell ’em about how we grew up with wide ranging freedoms, how we were often told to get out of the house and not return until dinner or dark, and I encourage Free Ranging the grandkids as much as thought one can get away with. All of which I am sure you do too. Homeschooling if able or correcting public schooling nonsense every single school day if not is essential too.

                  And, remind yourself occasionally that in God’s eyes, none of us are peons – something I too forget a lot of the time.

                  Old Libertarian

          • But only some of the political governance, because the majority if not all the other side (R wink wink)are good consetrvatives and believe in God…..most certainly the lesser of two evils.

            Tongue firmly planted in cheek.

          • FreeSlave Re “This country’s goin’ to Hell in a Handbasket!”
            Interesting for you to say this. I live in a large senior community, you understand the type of personnel. I have asking, at every opportunity, has anyone seen the hand basket? Boy, oh boy, do I get allot of dumb looks. OH WELL

            • That’s funny! But seriously, that’s what the old guys used to say when I was a young kid.

              I’m surprised that your senior community hasn’t heard of that saying.

        • Old Libertarian. So do you think wearing a towel on your head, with an Obama Sucks T-shirt and singing Ala Akbar had anything to do with you, not getting back to the states often? j/k… I’m sure there is more to your story… fill us in…

          • Hiya WhoWuddaThunkIt,

            Nah… Don’t want say much…
            But, I’ll share this: I’m an old white guy; Christian, previously atheist. Divorced a good wife who became too addicted to crack for me to put up with after three years of it when she started “cockrockin” if you know what I mean.

            So I left town. A year after the divorce on vacation back in the US, it came to my attention she had at some point stolen my passport, my personal and in my name only checkbook and wrote some bad checks. At a certain store we ID’d here on video using those and HER own loyalty card. Despite that, they wanted to prosecute me!!! I said that was ridiculous and refused to pay that year, and travelled back to Europe at the end of my vacation.

            Next year, I decided I’d done well enough to be big enough to pay that few hundred dollars; it wasn’t worth having hanging over my head – even while living abroad. Thing is, the local DA never updated the NCIS system and thus a year later, the event you ask about happened. The town refuses to reimburse me their bribe; er, sorry I mean “fine”, no lawyer will take the case and now statutes of limimtation have supposedly run out.

            I don’t know what else she and/or others may have done. It was so terrifying (those 48 hours), that I almost decided to depart back to Europe from canada instead of on my return ticket, just in case anything else I didn’t know about was hanging over my head and about to be dropped on me.

            That’s all I’m going to say about it here, ever. It is painful, ancient history to me now, and not very polite evening conversation. 🙂

            Old Libertarian

            • Ooops,
              Should say ID’d her, not ID’d here.
              Sorry

      19. I think most people have long memories and they are not going to forget who was the man behind all of these rogue agencies, Dhs, IRS, CIA, EPA, etc… So, do yall remember the movie “Dead man walking”

      20. What happens if someone complains about high deductible Obamacare? Price of meet? Not sure anymore…how about just being alive justifies to be labeled as some form of terrorist?

      21. I meant price of Meat.

        • Stolz, as I’ve said on here many times, nothing any govt. agency does has any legitimate basis to it. No govt. agency has any damned business changing definitions to any words in the King’s English or classifying who as what, etc. F#$% DHS! I don’t care what they think of me.

      22. Nothing new here. Us veterans have been on the terror list for some time now. This just reminds us of how far our country has fallen.

      23. False flag coming….all the alphabet agencies will be in on it. As for veterans being terrorists…there are 20 million veterans in this country. Where are you going to put em?

        • In the ground Jim in Va. that’s where they’ll put us, in the fucking ground. This country makes me sick anymore and to think I fought for it at one time, shit.

          • Maddog, you’re right about being put in the ground the way things are going. But don’t beat yourself up. You truly didn’t know any better, and you truly believed you were doing something good. That was admirable. And it’s not your fault that the propaganda got to you (and so many many others, even to this very day.)

            And, once you woke up, you’re here posting and being part of the solution as best you can, like me and all the other good people on this space.

            And lastly, maybe a bit “preachy,” but ask forgiveness from our Lord and Saviour, you already repented, so it’s assured you will be forgiven… Then, most importantly FORGIVE YOURSELF, my friend.

            Old Libertarian

            • Guess my contempt and disgust is obvious I apologize. The wife gives similar advise, better start listening. Done what I could to this point. Thanks.

              • I never noticed either the contempt or the disgust.
                Just tryin’ to help out and am sorry if I sounded a little like the wife… LOL 😉

          • Maddog:

            Looks like we are going to get our turn fightin’ on the right side in America….soon.

      24. QUESTION ?

        If they did not want pictures taken why did they not put guards out ? and a sign saying no pictures, or just completely seal it off ????????

        I remember I was at a Air show on a military base and they had guards and a sign out saying do not take a picture of this air craft or you camera will be confiscated and the person or persons would be detained.

        Of course why did they have this aircraft out on the tarmac in the first place ???????

        I do not understand the logic of things??????????.

        I hope this guy gets his job back………

        Of course I guess we all are on the watch list………….

        mmmmmmmm why ????????????

        • Straight Shooter, I’m probably on lists going back BEFORE 9-11-2001, so I know I’m in damned good company.

          • Yes you are Brave.

          • Copy that I was on the list in the early 1980s.
            Found a bug in my apt.
            And busted the people watching me.
            They were college kids that worked for guess whoooo
            S S GROUP of fat boys inc.

            Man what a waste of money on me.
            And my privacy out the window.

            I got on the list because I knew the wrong people which I distance myself from when I found out the truth about them.

            P.S.

            You might want to get the book

            Secrets of the FBI

            Your Paranoid level will go up after reading it.

            But what the hell everything going down the toilet.

            To all you guys watch us keep up the good work and get that overtime before it to is gone.
            and make sure you prep prep prep
            and do not screw your partner.

            straight shoot out. 🙂

      25. Tip: If you spray Penguin water and stain repellent on your shells, it reduces the fading due to UV ray sun damage. By limiting the sun damage, the waterproof breathable properties are extended a few years.

      26. America

        COME BACK !!!!

        GOD ALL MIGHTY COME BACK !!!!!!

        • SHANE!!!

      27. everyones afraid of the riots and who will get hit

        so his chicken shit boss cowardly acted like a sheeple

        and the DHS is also afraid that their positions have been given up , as they are scared of a preemptive strike

        his rights have still been violated

      28. Wake Up America !
        The Government has become your enemy ! Our Enemy !
        They have helped implement a full scale Marxist/Fascist, Police State, on this nation.
        Sic Semper Tyrannis !

      29. This is all so sick, the slow planned gradual death of our American way of life right under our noses. The evil is overwhelming and mind boggling. We sit back and complain and wait for the inevitable final grand assault on the freedom we imagine that we still have left. Every day that freedom is eroded further by the DHS, the imposter government’s gestapo goon squad. We have been named terrorists in our own country and war has been declared on us who speak out on crimes against our constitutional rights. Thank God for gun owners, the only defense delaying complete tyranny. The American people and their livelihoods mean nothing to this corrupt cabal occupying D.C., the awakening public are the only hope to mete out justice harshly. The time is nearing.

      30. MAKE SURE TO PUT ELECTRICAL TAPE OVER THE SECONDARY VIDEO CAMERA ON YOUR SMARTPHONE AND COMPUTER THAT IS AIMED AT YOUR FACE…

      31. Thank you, Mark, for being a veteran and for your continued loyal service to your country in routing out evil-doers and exposing them publicly.

      32. Once again, I post a probably useless post which will probably mean,…nothing! When I was a lad, one of the greatest men, the acknowleged greatest humanitarian of the 20th century said the following; ” I have given my life to try to alleviate the sufferings of Africa. There is something that all white men who have lived here like I must learn and know: that these individuals are a sub race. They have neither the intellectual, mental or emotional abilities to equate or to share equally with white men in any function of our civilization. I have given my life to try to bring them the advantages which our civilization must offer, but I have become well aware that we must retain this status: the superior and they the inferior. For whenever a white man seeks to live among them as their equals, they will either destroy him or devour him. And they will destroy all of his work. Let white men from anywhere in the world, who would come to Africa, remember that you must continually retain this status; you, the master and they the inferior like children that you would help or teach. Never fraternize with them as equals. Never accept them as your social equals or they will devour you. They will destroy you.” Dr. Albert Schweitzer From, “My African Notebook”, 1961. Do you think that the great threat comes from the African Negro race? Do you think that this pitiful race could be a threat to the greatest Nation that has ever existed on this Earth? No, dear people, not a chance, but consider this; Any Nation, that allows the Tribe to settle within its borders, is in mortal danger! Any Nation, that allows the Tribe to approach one half of one percent is doomed! The USA has nearly two percent of a devil population and say what you will, this Nation has had it!

        • Aurelius:

          It doesn’t mean nothing to some of us. To others you will hear from, the author of that quote was just an “old Nazi anti=semite sob that knew nothing, spreading lies”.

      33. Facebook, nuff said. Putting yourself and your buisness out there.

      34. This term of Domestic Terrorist, is now falling in with the rest; it’s for the children, it’s for your own safety, and I’m from the Government and I’m here to help you, etc. As for me this SH~T is getting old and has been for a long time. So if don’t work for the Government or fall down to your knees in front of them we all are doomed. Well all I can say is this; here is the middle finger you know NUMBER ONE for the FED’s and while I’m at you can just kiss my A$$ and suck old ONE-EYE DRY. When it happens the price will be heavy on both sides, but the truth will prevail as always.

Yet various conservative sites and groups fell for the “framed victim narrative” (the landmine).

        The psy-ops push provided by Argus News who hosts, and pays, several of the Justice For Mike Brown livestreamers (bigger landscape). Yet even then, that didn’t set off the alarm bells.”

        • Good link, good article.

          Looks like Mac Slavo and I both got played.

          I’ll try to be more discerning next time.

      36. the one that called him a terrorist after serving his country should have had the hell knocked out of him and then sued.

      37. “No ones right when everybody’s wrong”.

        After the smoke clears its highly likely that the only people with zero blame will be property owners / citizens protecting themselves.

      38. I was stopped for filming DHS speeding in a group of 7 or 8 cars to lunch with no lights on. They demanded my video. I told them to arrest me, and they left, because other people started filming them stop me.

      39. Of course the fascist boot licking filth went after this HERO, who exposes the fascist shithole of collapsing Murica for what it truly has become…brain dead dumbed down chemically altered toxic dumps in the collapsing Corporatist fascist shithole of Murica run as fast as the COWARDS can from the truth this HERO exposes.

        • Montpelier, VT. Are you telling me all eight blacks that live there are going to riot.

        • Hmmm, I’m two blocks from one of these. Gonna be a lively weekend.

        • I cannot help but notice that many of these cities are college towns.

        • Colledge grads are pushing out lower income blacks from these key cities making it harder for blacks to compete for lower income jobs. Google it.

          It’s all because of money and the obummer isn’t pushing wealth distribution fast enough and there are many who just hate crackers. Ferguson is just an excuse to riot.

          Wait until the exec order, illegals will take any jobs left the uneducated blacks have any chances for.

      44. Its going to be a long night on guard duty.

      45. “turned on the free people of The United States……

        How did you ever come up with the crazy notion of free people in the U>S<A?

      46. I have not read any of the other posts before I reply. So here it goes: The man who posted those photos is oan out right moron and deserved to be fired! He is an absolute moron and I would be embarrased to even be seen with him.

        What purpose did it serve? So he could look cool pointing out something before anyone else? Not every single person who works for DHS is evil. Not every single action or plan is evil.

        These officials were not doing anything wrong and they did not deserve the tin foil hat treatment. There is a time to show concern, this was not!

        Again, I agree that he was fired. His duty should have been to respect his company first. His job was not the only one in jeapordy- what about the others?
        He simply should have observed and not reacted sp foolishly.

        • Hmm…well I don’t know how you can say they don’t deserve the “Tin Foil Hat” treatment when the consequences for posting a picture on their spy platform validated that very moniker as totally justified. As far as I can tell, and aside from being stupid and using fed book to begin with, the entire incident proves the point and disproves your contention.

      48. Is it just me or is there anybody else it there frustrated with the way things have transpired since the grand jury has come out with their no true bill in ferguson. Here a cop who was protecting himself now has to leave law enforcement for fear of what is going to happen to him and his family. For what? He lost his job, his livelihood, his chosen career path all because a bunch of criminals are out to kill him because he killed one of theirs. How many of them can give you the names of every black person gunned down in ferguson by another black? How about Chicago, Washington d.c. None of them. It seems it is alright for them to gun themselves down and shoot their own. It is alright to sell dope, knock up your own women and then abandon them to the system while you move onto the next victim. Let a cop shoot one of you and you burn things up, steal stuff that ain’t yours to take. Do you think GOD is going to stand by and allow you to keep getting away with this without consequences. You are right there is a coming race war in America and you dumb asses(that’s right BLACKS) have declared war on your own race. Your kids are stupid. They smoke dope, commit crimes and kill each other. The war that is a race war is of your own doing and nobody is to blame but the likes of the liberal agenda of taking from everybody else and giving it to those do not work or for that matter deserve it. Keep going the way you are going and maybe when you get tired of burying your babies you will do something to stop the downward spiral of your kind. In the meantime will you pack up all your brothers and sisters and 15 different kids and move back to Africa. I am tired of supporting your ass.
