Oath Keepers?

[marcinstl]

anybody here a member or have direct experience with this organization? I'd like some insider info, review. thanks.

They were talking to some of them in Ferguson on a video I watched last night. Mostly retired Military and Police, anyone that has sworn an oath to uphold the constitution. But they also will take people to operate rc model planes with cameras attached to act as drones, and radios and be support personnel. Providing you have body armor. They stressed the body armor a couple of times.
I guess they took up positions in some businesses and kept looters at bay by shining lights and laser dots at them. I think the only shots they fired were warning shots, and that was enough for the looters to move on to easier targets. They sound like a great bunch of people.

I would guess that the true Oath Keepers don't speak out very much in public, it's the faux Oath Keepers who make public asses of themselves and (probably intentionally) give the true ones a bad name. Kind of like the SEALs. I'm not saying those in Ferguson aren't true, I haven't heard/seen what they said or did, just that it's easy to call yourself a Threeper and just be some loudmouth doosh bag with an AR and/or marching orders from some leftist community organizer.

here's an interview with one of these guys-- http://fox2now.com/2014/12/02/fergus...security-team/
so far, sounds like an ad hoc group of helpful people, not KKK or nutjobs. I hope they have insurance and a fleet of good lawyers in case they get into a bad situation.

I tried learning more about this group a few years ago but it seemed to me that you have to join up first. Not a whole lot of information that I could find. I've thought about joining up but would much rather actually talk to someone who is a member to truly find out what they are all about rather than just reading what is on their website.

[marcinstl]

you can look at their website. some info and links to news on wiki. that's about it. like you, I was trying to find a member to talk to, like to know if they are real, hidden agendas, another fantasy funded by the Koch brothers, or what.

I wondered when a tin foil hatter was going to mention the Koch's. Those that do usually have an affinity for and amnesia about Soros who donates many times more money than the Kochs do.

[marcinstl]

I always thought Soros and the Kochs were like good cop/badcop. don't need any of it and don't buy what either are selling. you need a picture of america? try this-- http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=^GSPC+Basic+Chart all other pictures are just meaningless fluff.
