So this $27.0M jail in Hardin Montana (city of about 3,500 ppl) has never been used, and all of a sudden the city is contracting with some strange outfit that rolls into town with 3 black mercedes SUVs with "Hardin City Police" as a logo.

The mayor doesn't like it and asks them to remove them, and the citizens are scratching their heads. They also go and hire the local town reporter at a salary of $60,000 a year to be their PR person. Everyone is wondering where all this money is coming from, from this "American Police Force" company, but no one knows.

What do you think? Bizarre article.

It sounds like the city built this ridiculous jail that they have no one to put into it. The State of Montana then tried to block the city from bringing in out-of-state prisoners, so the city successfully sued them to allow them to bring in out-of-state people (They wanted to house the gitmo detainees) --- then this "American Police Force" was incorporated and founded right after the gitmo-detainee stories, and they ride into town saying if they get a contract to run the prison, they'll cut a $2.5 million check to the City every year.

My simple mind thinks these guys are just trying to hoodwink some independent-yet-gullible economic development office people with some badass looking trucks and uniforms.

What a gay name "American Police Force".

Makes me think of the cartoon movie with Kim Jong-il.

They already exist in the FBI, DEA, DHS, etc... but they never had the balls to actually call these gun carrying/citizen arresting federal employees a police force.

BTW, those are Serbian anti masonic stamps.

From a masonic website:

On January 1, 1942 Serbia issued four stamps to commemorate the Grand Anti-Masonic Exhibition, which opened in Belgrade on October 22, 1941. These stamps depict a strong and victorious Serbia crushing an evil Masonic-Communist-Jewish plot for world domination.

The surtax on this issue was used for Anti-Masonic, Anti-Communist, and Anti-Jewish propaganda.

Each stamp bore the opening date 22x1941 and was labeled "Anti-Masonic Exhibition" and "Serbia" in Cyrillic letters.

These stamps, with their juxtaposition of Masonic, Communist, Jewish and Serbian symbols (Nazi symbols are notably absent), provide a remarkable window into the Serbian wartime worldview. Even after the Communist takeover of Yugoslavia in May 1945 Masons were regarded with suspicion and contempt by the Serbian dominated Yugoslav authorities and Masonry remained outlawed for the next 45 years - until the summer of 1990.

The first stamp shows Masonry, allegorically clad as a hooded figure wearing an apron and star of David upon its bosom. This hooded figure is shown cringing from a strong ray of light, which emanates from a circular cabalistic design apparently representing the forces of Anti-Masonry.

Nowhere in Masonry does a hooded figure appear. Also any Mason could readily see the fallacy of "Cringing from Light" - did we not ask for light at least three times? Then too, the attempt to link Jewry with Freemasonry is very evident by the Star of David on the figure's bosom.

The second stamp of the series shows a hand emanating from a silvery light, as in the first stamp, and grasping the neck of a huge viper whose head rests on a square and compasses. This viper or snake is covered with the Stars of David rather than scales. Biblically, the snake represents the forces of evil (Jews and Masons) and here is symbolically being stopped by the hand of Nazism.

The third stamp shows a sheaf of wheat superimposed on a cross, which has a pointed lower leg, together with the hammer, and sickle all resting upon and splitting a star that symbolizes Serbia. This attempts to show that the Jew, Mason, and Communist are alike in ideal if not one and the same.

The last stamp of the series shows a Star of David upon the curved surface of the earth between two pillars which are being put asunder by a zealous modern Serbian Samson. These pillars presumably refer to the two pillars in the porch of King Solomon's Temple.


That logo is so trying be masonic/illuminati it almost looks fake.

PHOENIX: A universal symbol of the sun, mystical rebirth, resurrection and immortality, this legendary red "fire bird" was believed to die in its self-made flames periodically (each hundred years, according to some sources) then rise again out of its own ashes. Linked to the worship of the fiery sun and sun gods such as Mexico's Quetzalcoatl, it was named "a god of Phoenecia" by the Phoenician. To alchemists, it symbolized the the destruction and creation of new forms of matter along the way to the ultimate transformation: physical (turn lead into gold) and spiritual (immortality - an occult alternative to the Christian salvation). The philosopher's stone was considered the key to this transformation.

American Police Force and Hardin, continued...

Montana wanted to give Hardin a contract to hold and "treat" sex offenders. Its bid was wholly inadequate. Given another chance, it still couldn't put together a complete bid.

Now Hardin is signing a contract with the "American Police Force," from Southern California, to hold prisoners, expand the prison, build shelters for animals and homeless, deliver food to the hungry, provide Mercedes squad cars for Hardin's non-existant police force, build a 102,000 sq ft mercenary "training camp," and new housing for their employees, though claiming "80%" will be local hires. APF filed incorporation papers with California in March, claim to have been in business since 1902, 1984, and 1996. Its office is in an Anaheim strip mall, and is registered in the bottom floor of a small Santa Ana home. Its corporate attorney is an Iranian immigrant specializing in personal injury. Its spokesperson "Captain" Michael Hilton, claims to be Serbian. One assumes he got his "captain's" outfit from a costume shop.

APF has a website that is comprised of material stolen from other sites. Claiming to be arms dealers, their webpage showed air rifles and paint ball guns that mimic real weapons.

Any more questions?

There's still time for the HuffPost, if it cares, to break the real story. I'm not holding my breath.

Let's compare the new private security forces with Blackwater. Another private security firm didicated to the Catholic Church:

Blackwater and allegations of links to the Christian right
[edit] Allegations of links to Catholic Sovereign Military Order of Malta
Links between Blackwater and the Order of Malta have come under scrutiny. The Chief Operating Officer of the Prince Group, Joseph Schmitz, is an honorary member of the group the Knights of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, considered to be the main successor to the crusader Knights Hospitaller, a Catholic military order, and now a voluntary disaster relief, aid and medical organization. Although the Order does not rule Malta, its name and historic origins as an eleventh century crusader order has caused critics posit that Blackwater is itself a religious crusader organization, or is secretly run by the Knights of Malta. This linkage is, in the words of Malta Today, "the latest conspiracy theory".[100] Jordanian Member of Parliament Jamal Muhammad Abidat wrote in the Abu Dhabi daily newspaper Al-Bayan that:

The painful saga of modern Arab-Muslim history evokes the battles fought in the Crusades of the 11th century, when the Knights of Malta began their operations as a Christian militia whose mission it was to defend the land conquered by the Crusaders. These memories return violently to mind with the discovery of links between the so-called security firms in Iraq such as Blackwater have historic links with the Knights of Malta. You cannot exaggerate it. The Order of Malta is a hidden government, or the most mysterious government in the world. [101]

Following this editorial by Abidat a call was issued on Jihadist websites close to Al-Qaida. It urged readers to attack on the Order’s embassy in the Cairo, Egypt. No such attack materialised.[100]

The grandmaster of the order, Brother Andrew Bertie, has decried the accusation:

“new conspiracy theories which have sprung up, over recent months, in various television channels and newspapers in friendly countries, but associating the sovereign Order of Malta with a private society of mercenaries, which it is said are operating in Iraq and Afghanistan for a foreign government. These assertions have absolutely no factual basis,”

He further stated that these accusations put “the lives of volunteers offering humanitarian assistance in grave danger”.[100]

The European Parliament published a report by legislator Giovanni Claudio Fava, detailing connections between Blackwater and Malta. The Fava’s inquiry was triggered by the revelation that two Blackwater subsidiaries had been involved in US special rendition flights. Fava indicated that the island Republic of Malta is one of Blackwater’s primary operational bases. Blackwater's vice-president, Cofer Black, had been the CIA officer responsible for special renditions of detainees to pro-Western regimes. [102], [103] According to the newspaper Malta Today; Blackwater strenously disputes the European Parliament committee’s report; labelling the assertions as “erroneous and undocumented”, and called on the committee to re-examine its findings, saying it was “alarmed by these statements, because they are completely false and defamatory”.[100]

[edit] Accusations of Crusader Ideology
In early August 2009, sworn affidavits lodged at a Virginia court in the USA contained various allegations including murder, weapons smuggling, and the deliberate slaughter of civilians against Blackwater, with claims that founder Erik Prince had organised the murder of former employees co-operating with US federal investigators.[104] In one of the affidavits a former employee who served for 4 years in Blackwater and was a former US marine, alleged that Mr Prince;

“views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe...To that end, Mr. Prince intentionally deployed to Iraq certain men who shared his vision of Christian supremacy, knowing and wanting these men to take every available opportunity to murder Iraqis. Many of these men used call signs based on the Knights of the Templar, the warriors who fought the Crusades”.

It was also claimed that Mr Prince and other executives destroyed incriminating videos, e-mails and documents to prevent the US State Department obtaining them.[105] In a statement to CNN, the company said

“It is obvious that plaintiffs have chosen to slander Mr Prince rather than raise legal arguments or actual facts that will be considered by a court of law. We are happy to engage them there.“We question the judgment of anyone who relies upon and [reiterates] anonymous declarations.”[104]

[edit] Christian Right Ideology
A book on Blackwater by Jeremy Scahill, claims that the leadership of Blackwater was driven by a Christian agenda deployed by, ‘extreme religious zealots’[106]. Scahill suggests that its COO, former Pentagon Inspector General Joseph Schmitz, is a vociferous preacher on behalf of a crusading ideology, his recurrent theme being ‘the rule of law under God.’ America’s role in the world is to bring God’s law to all humanity, in what Scahill terms a vision of ‘Christian Supremacy’.[106]

In Scahill’s account, Erik Prince, Blackwater's founder and chairman, with his connections to right-wing Catholic groups, believes that Blackwater is an important vehicle for ensuring the central role of Christianity in US foreign policy. However, according to Newsweek Prince plays down any connection between his religion and his business.

"Look," he says, "I'm a practicing Roman Catholic, but you don't have to be Catholic, you don't have to be a Christian to work for Blackwater."[107]

I have no idea what point you are trying to make here. Are you trying to say the double headed eagle has nothing to do with the Catholic church or the Pope? If that is the case I can very easily dispute that if you are too lazy to go google it for yourself. It's not a Catholic "secret". It's all over their symbolism. It's all over Freemasonry symbology also because freemasonry comes from the Catholic Church.

If that is the case I can very easily dispute that if you are too lazy to go google it for yourself. It's not a Catholic "secret". It's all over their symbolism. It's all over Freemasonry symbology also because freemasonry comes from the Catholic Church.

And it is no secret that the Pope himself is calling for a New World Order either. It's in his speeches. It's in the news. You can listen to it from the horses ass....errrr, mouth for yourself.

However, an Associated Press search of two comprehensive federal government contractor databases turned up no record of American Police Force.

Representatives of security trade groups said they had never heard of American Police Force, although they added secrecy was prevalent in the industry and it was possible the company had avoided the public limelight.

“They’re really invisible,” said Alan Chvotkin, executive vice president and counsel for the Professional Services Council. The group’s members include major security contractors Triple Canopy, DynCorp and Xe Services, formerly known as Blackwater Worldwide.

“Even a single unclassified contract in the last couple of years should show up” in the federal database, Chvotkin added.

Spokesmen for the State Department and Defense Department said they could not immediately find any records of contracts with the company. The city has not released a copy of its agreement with American Police Force. But the deal as announced would be a sweet one for Hardin, a depressed rural town of 3,500 about 45 miles east of Billings.

Sept, 1 2009
Law Enforcement: The Mayor reported that there is nothing new to report at this time. The agreement was in our hands then we passed it on to County and they have 10 days to respond so at this time it is in limbo.

They said the City Counsel voted to disband the Sheriff Dept. :eek:
How can they do that, or how can they assume to do that? They have no authority.
The Sheriff is an elected County Official.

Triple Canopy:
Former Iraq Security Contractors Say Firm Bought Black Market Weapons, Swapped Booze for Rockets
by T. Christian Miller, ProPublica and Aram Roston, Special to ProPublica - September 18, 2009 10:05 am EDT
Last spring, the U.S. diplomatic mission in Iraq got a makeover, replacing the scandal-plagued Blackwater private security company with a firm named Triple Canopy.

The new $1 billion contract cemented Triple Canopy's status as the pre-eminent provider of private security services in Iraq, with its heavily armed employees appearing side by side with senior State Department diplomats.

But the company's rise to prominence followed a long, often chaotic route, marked by questionable weapons deals, government bungling and a criminal investigation that was ultimately closed without charges being filed, according to newly released investigative files.

Company employees told federal investigators that Triple Canopy swapped booze for weapons and supplies from the U.S. military. They said the company bought guns and other arms on the black market in Iraq. Some worried that the money was flowing into the hands of insurgents, records show.

The previously undisclosed documents and interviews with current and former Triple Canopy officials raise new questions about the U.S. government's ability to oversee private security contractors in a fluid and uncertain legal environment. And they give a glimpse into the messy business of creating a private army on the fly in the middle of a war zone.

I have a question about this and I'm admittedly confused as the situation itself doesn't make sense to me.

If AFP is a scam company and not really a private security company, wouldn't a real private security company have outed them already? Especially if they were lifting text off of Xe's site? What are the chances that there would be bidding on an empty prison and competitors wouldn't be aware that one company was a total scam? At the very least, wouldn't the PR folks and attorneys and whoever else at real security companies be on the lookout for fake companies?

And I guess I have more questions because the background info confuses me.

Who built this prison? Has the Governor commented on this situation? Are state legislators okay with knowing a private security company is setting up camp in Montana and acting as police with their own 'police cars'? Even if the company is fake they aren't aware of that or at least were not aware of that until now. The situation itself seems weird to me.

Reports: Mysterious, unregistered security firm policing Montana town

A mysterious, reportedly unregistered and almost entirely unknown private security firm by the name "American Police Force" is causing a stir in a small Montana town for apparently impersonating local police.

According to a local media report, APF representatives were recently seen in the tiny town of Hardin, Montana, driving black SUV's with a peculiar logo and, inexplicably, "City of Hardin Police Department" stamped on the door.

However, Hardin does not have a police force.

The town instead contracts with the Big Horn County Sheriff's Department for patrols, according to KULR 8 in Billings, Montana.

According to the news agency, APF was never given permission to assume policing duties. Instead, the firm -- which the Associated Press reported to be unregistered in government databases -- gained its contract with the town on the promise of bringing inmates to an unpopulated prison complex.

An image on KULR's Web site shows the insignia on the APF vehicles, which has caused some concern on the Internet as being of conspiratorial origin.

APF's coat of arms, a clearer version of which appeared on the group's Web site (which had been taken down at time of this writing but is viewable here), shows a double-headed eagle with a red shield and white cross borne on its breast.

The coat appears to be very similar to that of Serbian Prince Aleksandar Karageorgevich, based on RAW STORY's analysis of images hosted by Burke's Peerage & Gentry International Register of Arms.

However, the significance or implied nationality of the insignia's crown could not immediately be identified.

The double-headed eagle itself has been used repeatedly throughout history by many cultures as a symbol of empire, dominance and power.

Hardin, home to about 3,400 people, is in the state’s poorest county. Its unoccupied, 460-bed prison cost $27 million to construct. The town made national headlines earlier this year when local officials pleaded to have Guantanamo Bay inmates sent to the jail.

Montana Democratic Senator Max Baucus and other Republican lawmakers have stood in the way of moving Guantanamo inmates stateside, claiming they would present an increased security risk. The political calculation has led the White House to caution that its promise to close the controversial facility in January may not materialize on schedule.

An Associated Press report on American Police Force, published Sept. 12, 2009, follows.

AP ENTERPRISE: Montana jail deal raises questions

AP ENTERPRISE: Questions emerge about company promising to bring inmates to small Montana town

MATTHEW BROWN
AP News

Sep 12, 2009 16:17 EST

The Two Rivers Detention Center was promoted as the largest economic development project in decades in the small town of Hardin when the jail was built two years ago. But it has been vacant ever since.

City officials have searched from Vermont to Alaska for inmate contracts to fill the jail, only to be turned down at every turn and see the bonds that financed its construction fall into default. They even floated the idea of housing prisoners from Guantanamo Bay at the jail.

So when Hardin officials announced this week that they had signed a deal with a California company to fill the empty jail, it was naturally a cause for celebration. Town officials talked about throwing a party to mark the occasion, their dreams of economic salvation a step closer to being realized.

But questions are emerging over the legitimacy of the company, American Police Force.

Government contract databases show no record of the company. Security industry representatives and federal officials said they had never heard of it. On its Web site, the company lists as its headquarters a building in Washington near the White House that holds "virtual offices." A spokeswoman for the building said American Police Force never completed its application to use the address.

And it's unclear where the company will get the inmates for the jail. Montana says it's not sending inmates to the jail, and neither are federal officials in the state.

An attorney for American Police Force, Maziar Mafi, describes the Santa Ana, Calif., company as a fledgling spin-off of a major security firm founded in 1984. But Mafi declined to name the parent firm or provide details on how the company will finance its jail operations.

"It will gradually be more clear as things go along," said Mafi, a personal injury and medical malpractice lawyer in Santa Ana who was only hired by American Police Force a month ago. "The nature of this entity is private security and for security purposes, as well as for the interest of their clientele, that's why they prefer not to be upfront."

On its elaborate Web site and in interviews with company representatives, American Police Force claims to sell assault rifles and other weapons in Afghanistan on behalf of the U.S. military while providing security, investigative work and other services to clients "in all 50 states and most countries."

The company also boasts to have "rapid response units awaiting our orders worldwide" and that it can field a battalion-sized team of special forces soldiers "within 72 hours."

Representatives of American Police Force said the company presently employs at least 16 and as many as 28 people in the United States and 1,600 contractors worldwide.

"APF plays a critical role in helping the U.S. government meet vital homeland security and national defense needs," the company says on its Web site. "Within the last 5 years the United States has been far and away our" number 1 client.

However, an Associated Press search of two comprehensive federal government contractor databases turned up no record of American Police Force.

Representatives of security trade groups said they had never heard of American Police Force, although they added secrecy was prevalent in the industry and it was possible the company had avoided the public limelight.

"They're really invisible," said Alan Chvotkin, executive vice president and counsel for the Professional Services Council. The group's members include major security contractors Triple Canopy, DynCorp and Xe Services, formerly known as Blackwater Worldwide.

"Even a single unclassified contract in the last couple of years should show up" in the federal database, Chvotkin added.

Spokesmen for the State Department and Defense Department said they could not immediately find any records of contracts with the company. The city has not released a copy of its agreement with American Police Force. But the deal as announced would be a sweet one for Hardin, a depressed rural town of 3,500 about 45 miles east of Billings.

The company is pledging to fill the 464-bed facility by early next year.

Hardin officials say the first payment on the contract is due Feb. 1 — regardless of whether any prisoners are in place. The city's economic development authority would get enough money to pay off the bondholders and receive $5 per prison a day.

American Police Force also is promising to invest $30 million in new projects for the city, including a military and law enforcement training center with a 250-bed dormitory and an expansion of the jail to 2,000 beds. The company says it will build a homeless shelter, offer free health care for city residents and even deliver meals to the needy.

Where the prisoners would come from is unclear. City officials said California was the most likely possibility, but a spokesman for that state's corrections system said there was no truth to the claim.

Federal prisoners also were mentioned by both American Police Force and the city. U.S. Marshal Dwight MacKay in Billings said he would have been notified if such a plan was pending.

"There's skepticism over whether this is a real thing," MacKay said.

Hardin officials said they were approached by American Police Force about six months ago, soon after the city made international news in its quest to become "America's Gitmo." American Police Force incorporated around the same time.

Albert Peterson, the city's school superintendent and vice president of the authority that built the jail, said the city was "guaranteed" the contract would be upheld.

"There's never a question in my mind after I've done my homework. It's legit," Peterson said of American Police Force. "We believe in each other."

The contract was still being reviewed by the city attorney, he said.

Peterson refused to answer when asked if he knew the name of American Police Force's parent firm. He said news coverage of the city's political tussles with the administration of Gov. Brian Schweitzer had left him suspicious of the press. The administration brought a court challenge over whether Hardin could take out-of-state inmates at the jail.

"If you're looking for the source of the money, you're not going to find it from me," Peterson said.

A member of the Texas consortium that developed the jail, Mike Harling, said he had "every reason to believe they'll be successful."

Mafi, the American Police Force attorney, said his company intends to reverse Hardin's recent problems with the jail and give the town an economic boost.

In Santa Ana, American Police Force occupies a single suite on the second floor of a two-story office building. During a visit to the location Thursday, a reporter for The Associated Press encountered a uniformed man behind a desk who would identify himself only as "Captain Michael."

The man declined to discuss basic details about the company and referred the reporter to the company's Web site. In a subsequent phone interview, he provided his surname but insisted it not be used because of security concerns. The man said he was a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Montenegro with decades of experience in military and law enforcement operations.

The man said his boss is a retired U.S. Army colonel named Richard Culver who is currently overseas. Culver's role with the company could not be immediately verified.

The company claim of a headquarters address is just up the street from the White House.

The K Street building houses "virtual offices," where clients pay to use the prestigious Pennsylvania Avenue address and gain access to onsite conference rooms but have no permanent presence.

"It lets small businesses get started up and have a professional front and not have a lot of a cash to do it," said Ashley Korner with Preferred Offices, which leases the location.

She said American Police Force's application to use the address was pending, but incomplete.

Here is an interesting article about APF.

http://mikeyounglaw.com/wp/2009/09/29/american-police-force-internet-scam/

-----------------------

Now for my take on the entire episode:

Guantanamo Prisoners have to be moved out of Guantanamo but where to put them.
This is a big problem for Uncle Sam. Then a light bulb goes on in U.S.'s head and he remembers Hardin asking for the prisoners. The problem is, Hardin is too poor to be able to run the prison.

Solution.... government hires Blackwater now XE to form a subgroup to run the prison. Now to name the subgroup.... ahhh... and "American Police Force" comes into existence.

I suspect the government is funding the entire thing and trying to keep it quiet. The problem is, it's not keeping as quiet as they would like, so they dump the web site, and Washington D.C. front.

The reason the Mayor of Hardin isn't worried is because he is in on the deal the government is doing.

Now what are they going to do next?

NO because people at real security companies are too busy to be paying attention to obscure news stories from Montana.

This prison is in default, they can't pay for it. Lo and behold on the horizon is their savior AFP. All you have to do, City of Hardin, is vote for a sales tax increase so we can a $20 million dollar bond and build our complex. Then we can all have jobs, and kittens and homeless shelters etc etc... BULL SHIT

That could definitely be the case.

Out of curiosity I just checked the Better Business Bureau for a record on AFP.

We are attempting to develop information on this company.
At the present time we do not have enough information to issue a report.

I have a question about this and I'm admittedly confused as the situation itself doesn't make sense to me.

If AFP is a scam company and not really a private security company, wouldn't a real private security company have outed them already? Especially if they were lifting text off of Xe's site? What are the chances that there would be bidding on an empty prison and competitors wouldn't be aware that one company was a total scam? At the very least, wouldn't the PR folks and attorneys and whoever else at real security companies be on the lookout for fake companies?

And I guess I have more questions because the background info confuses me.

Who built this prison? Has the Governor commented on this situation? Are state legislators okay with knowing a private security company is setting up camp in Montana and acting as police with their own 'police cars'? Even if the company is fake they aren't aware of that or at least were not aware of that until now. The situation itself seems weird to me.

Hello pinkmandy,
I don't think this is a scam at all, I think that this is a group of the elite's elites. the best of the best- the best of DynCorp, Xe, and Triple Canopy.

Source: AP


They're really invisible," said Alan Chvotkin, executive vice president and counsel for the Professional Services Council. The group's members include major security contractors Triple Canopy, DynCorp and Xe Services, formerly known as Blackwater Worldwide.

imho, legion is whitewashing. I am not saying that it is on purpose, but this seems to be a natural "reflex" when any sort of "conspiracy" comes to light. If the AFP isn't a conspiracy, I don't know what is....
This is just the tip of the proverbial ice berg.

Surveillance is often thought of as a secret activity, but the majority of the time surveillance is conducted within a subjects everyday life to avoid any unwanted speculation or unwanted activities. Video cameras are often announced with signs in dressing rooms or other hidden locations of retail stores to help stop shoplifting.. Cameras and signs are dummies and a lot of the time no recording even actually takes place, but with such extremely simple non-secretive security, the level of crime is reduced.

How would it be damaging to the govt? They do crap all the time that *should* be damaging but most people don't pay attention. This wouldn't even be a blip on MSM.

Know what it would damage, though? Dispensaries. I doubt the local tokers would be very happy to find out that the Fed is using a front group to give them their pot while possibly collecting info on the users. Last time I checked there were a couple hundred thousand or so registered users in Cali. The DEA raids have slowed down recently, haven't they? Perhaps they have a new tactic.

What sort of claims do you think one would make to the leadership of a small town to make sure this happened? Perhaps, something like these people that come here with fake police cars are selling DRUGS in another state???

Philosophically this is my disagreement with truthers, by the way.

If truthers really believed a damn word they said they wouldn't be doing the things they do.

You can't interupt the strategic plans of an organization by standing on a street corner yelling "HEY EVERYBODY THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE PLANNING TO DO 5 YEARS FROM NOW!" into a megaphone. Talk about rolling over.

No, they'd be out there interfering with the day to day operations of the "bad guys" by playing the same kind of hardball they do. By affecting the day to day you change long term goals.

I still think these APF guys are swindlers. The government wouldn't even make a website if this was their MO. They'd just do it and not tell anyone until the last minute.

Is there a physical address on their website? I didn't look earlier before the site went down for awhile. I was looking just now and didn't see one but that could be because I'm not looking in the right place. Can someone else have a peek if it was there earlier to see if it is where it was?

They had to tell the people of Hardin something. This is when the cover began to fall apart. This is when the web site and Washington address disappeared.

Right now, they are in a conundrum as to how to handle their bungled attempt to covertly move the Gitmo prisoners to Hardin Montana.

Two Rivers officials traveled to California to negotiate deal
Hardin betting on mystery company

Al Peterson won't say the name of the company that wants to fill the empty jail in Hardin.

He says he's seen documents that prove the company is legitimate, but he won't discuss the contents or nature of those documents either.

And, he's been to California to meet personally with company officials and to haggle over a 10-year contract he says will bring in hundreds of prisoners, scores of jobs and thousands of dollars to his beleaguered community.

Peterson is vice president of the Two Rivers Authority, Hardin's economic development agency, which owns the 464-bed jail that has been empty since it was finished in 2007.

Despite all the mystery, Peterson insists that everyone will be believers in the next few weeks when American Private Police Force Organization, a newly organized subsidiary of the unnamed California company, begins hiring local staff for the prison.

"I've seen their documents. I've seen their credentials," Peterson said. "I believe them."

While there are some skeptics among Hardin officials, all seem to agree the city has to take a chance on APF. Two Rivers has gone into default on its bond payments for the empty jail and the agency is nearly out of money. The jail has also caused a rift between county and state officials over contracting for out-of-state prisoners, prompting a lawsuit in which Hardin prevailed.

Besides, Hardin has nothing to lose. The money being risked with the contract is APF's, said Peterson, who is Hardin's superintendent of schools.

From cheaters to kidnappers

APF officials will say only that their parent corporation is a private security company that has been operating detention centers internationally since being incorporated in 1984. This would be the company's first domestic jail.

APF's Web site opens with images of armed masked men in combat gear, military-style weapons and helicopters, all accompanied by the refrains of Ravel's "Bolero."

Among APF's "international operations" listed on the Web site are special forces training, kidnapping and ransom situations, convoy security in war zones and fugitive recovery. The company also offers investigations into unsolved murders, cheating spouses, fraud and missing persons.

Presumably, some of APF's employees and clients would be trained for those services in a 104,000-square-foot facility with housing for 248 and high-tech labs that would be built adjacent to the jail.

APF plans to soon hold a job fair for local candidates. On top of that, the company has vowed to allow residents to use the CT scanner in its crime lab. It also would help the city organize and staff a municipal police department and donate food from the jail's kitchen to the needy.

Troubled authority

Two Rivers arranged private bond funding to build the $27 million jail as an economic boost to the hard-luck county.

When the assumed agreements with Montana officials to house state prisoners didn't work out, that left the authority hunting all over the country for prisoners.

With no contracts in sight, Two Rivers missed its May 2008 bond payment and went into default. Until then, it had been making its twice-yearly $2.5 million payments from a reserve fund built into the revenue bond purchase.

Earlier this spring, Two Rivers made global headlines when it made a desperate offer to house terrorism suspects from the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, an idea that was quickly crushed by Montana's congressional delegation.

Then, just two days after announcing its contract with APF, Two Rivers put its executive director Greg Smith on paid administrative leave. Neither Smith nor Two Rivers' Peterson will say why.

With so many unanswered questions about the prison's new use, speculation has been rampant. County residents have suggested that the new facility would be used for everything from torturing international terrorists to housing Obama administration dissenters.

Peterson insists the contract allows only low- to medium-risk prisoners from the United States, and that Two Rivers will hold the contracts.

APF commits big money

As part of its contract, APF will take over the bond payments for the prison, which will remain the authority's property, said Michael Hilton, a spokesman for the company. In addition, APF will invest about $23 million in its planned training facility and pay $10 per person to Two Rivers for those using the training center, Hilton said. The training facility that APF intends to build will have a dormitory for participants, but they'll still be visiting - and spending - in Hardin, Hilton said.

"Those people from overseas have money to spend," he said.

Peterson told Associated Press on Friday that the contract calls for APF to pay $220,000 a month - $2.6 million a year - for 10 years.

Two Rivers would also be paid a fee of $5 per day per inmate, which is a new revenue stream, Peterson said. During a packed meeting of the Hardin City Council last week, Peterson said that even at half full, the fees would add up to more than $365,000 a year.

"Holy crap. Right now we're on a shoestring," he said.

Due diligence

Earlier this month, Peterson, Smith and Two Rivers attorney Becky Convery flew to California at the authority's expense to meet with APF officials.

Among the people they met were Hilton and Mazair Mafi, APF's director of legal affairs.

Peterson called it a "whirlwind trip" in which they arrived in Los Angeles around noon on Sept. 3 and negotiated until well into the evening. They reached consensus the next day and by the following day at 11:10 p.m. the contract was signed, he said.

Before the California meeting, Hilton said, APF officials had spent about 10 months checking out Hardin and meeting with officials in the city.

Both APF and Two Rivers officials remain tight-lipped about the parent company backing the venture. The company is remaining unnamed for security and proprietary reasons, they say.

Flying under the radar is just the way many private security companies do business, Hilton said. He did say that APF has at least 160 contractors around the world plus independent contractors. And the parent company has more than 20 "virtual offices" around the world, he said, including addresses in Washington, D.C., and Santa Ana, Calif.

"Every security company does this. The U.S. government does this," Hilton said. "We have enemies, worldwide - not in the U.S., but you never know - so it's for security purposes."

When The Gazette contacted a spokeswoman for the Washington, D.C., building the company claims to use, she said AFP never completed its application to use the address. Reporters for The Gazette and Associated Press have also been unable to locate APF in any of the databases listing federal contracts.

To all the doubters, Mafi urges patience.

"Just wait a couple weeks, and the city is going to begin to see hard cash," he said. "We'll be hiring people and training people."

Skeptical but supportive

At least two Hardin City Council members are split in their opinions of APF. But, both Bill Hert and Carla Colstad agree that the city must city take a chance.

Hert, who described himself as a former cop who doesn't trust many people, sees it as a "good deal if it turns out." He wants more information from APF.

"I would like to meet some of them in person," Hert said. "If they would come here and meet with us and explain what they are going to do in person, rather than just have a contract to read."

Colstad, a third-generation Hardin council member, said she trusts Two Rivers.

"In this economy and in this recession, hallelujah, they have actually found someone who is not only willing to work here in the community but has the money," she said. "They've got the money behind the talk. This is all we've hoped for all this time."

Jump-starting the jail

APF's contract requires the company to "make its best efforts to hire and train local personnel" and report on hiring each quarter.

The jail could start holding inmates as early as January, and contracts are being sought to have all 464 beds full by March, Hilton said.

"You have to have a facility first to negotiate," he said. "We are waiting to sign a contract."

APF's contract with Two Rivers includes a provision to house for free up to 60 inmates from Hardin, Lodge Grass and Big Horn County. Those inmates will be kept separate from APF detainees.

Hilton said APF won't make money on the jail. The jail is a "steppingstone" to the company's goal of opening a security training center for mostly international clients from "U.S.-friendly countries."

Hardin police force

The Hardin City Council has a public hearing "on law enforcement" scheduled for Thursday. That hearing, like several that have been held around the county, is to gauge public opinion on the city breaking from the county for law enforcement services. The city and county have been at odds for years about the law enforcement presence provided by the Sheriff's Office.

Hilton said APF has proposed that, if Hardin creates a police department, the company would provide the initial officers and hire a local chief of police. APF has already purchased Mercedes vehicles that are being outfitted and will be available for patrol cars, Hilton said.

The training center also could provide some officers to support the city, he said.

Hilton said that during a trip to Hardin to check out the jail facility, he was shocked to see people selling and using drugs, so he wants to have two narcotics agents in Hardin, too.

After Tuesday's council meeting, resident Virginia Pitsche said she welcomes anyone who can help clean up Hardin.

"We need protection in this town," Pitsche said.

Pitsche's sister, Vinetta Hollis, agreed that a better police presence is needed, but was firm that she wants to know more about the company, which she said could be a shill for President Obama to create a federal police force.

"They were formed by who?" Hollis said. "Read up on it. This is a federal police force of Obama's."

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

He is comparing the APF to Militias!!!

This will be their slant. They will target the "backwoods" Militias... oh it fits so perfectly, MT is "full of" Militias, so who better to fight them. I am gonna puke.

http://gawker.com/5370717/montanas-american-police-force-the-nations-next-great-militia


Think things in America can't get any more unsettling? Well, you're wrong. Meet the American Police Force, which will soon take over a Montana jail that once asked to house Guantanamo inmates. And, shocker, they're shady as hell. Let's look...

Yes, unorganized militia's played quite the role in America's revolution, and they've been experiencing a bit of a revival in the scary recent past. The anti-immigrant Minute Men are in full effect down Arizona way, while the once-defunct Michigan Militia seems to have revived itself: they just had a training exercise called Operation Pita Storm. But those unorganized groups are small potatoes compared to a new, ultra-mysterious "security force" called the American Police Force, which just agreed to take over an indebted prison in Hardin, Montana. And sounds a lot like a militia, only far more organized, less forthcoming and, therefore, more frightening.

So let's get some facts, if such things exist anymore.


The prison in question was built two years ago, but, sadly, never got off the ground. Earlier this year, desperate for funds, the prison put in a bid to take some prisoners from Guantanamo Bay. That bid failed, apparently, because the city's economic group Two Rivers Authority just called on the AFP to takeover the prison's operations, although haven't signed an official contract.


AFP's group's website boasts that they "successfully provided assistance in training foreign military organizations in combating transnational terrorism" and claims that it's "recognized as one of the top security and investigation forces in the world." Too bad no one's ever heard of them — not even the U.S. government, a group with which AFP claims to have worked.


In addition to fighting terrorism overseas, the group's online digs say AFP's renaissance agents work on "kidknapping [sic]" cases, investigates cheating spouses and offer convoy security in places like Pakistan.


A group spokesperson who called himself "Captain Michael" told local news channel KULR 8 that they're more interested in setting up a $17 million training camp than in operating the prison. This man would not specify how they plan to use the camp.


Another fun fact: the group's press secretary is a woman named Becky Shays, who used to be a reporter for Montana's Billings Gazette and covered the Hardin Prison story, but told her former colleagues recently that they will not name the company's true leaders, the source of its funding or how it plans to take its prisoners.


Their lawyer, Maziar Mafi, a malpractice expert how was hired a month ago, offers few details, other than that it's a satellite of a larger security firm. And he seems to revel in the cloak-and-dagger atmosphere:

It will gradually be more clear as things go along. The nature of this entity is private security and for security purposes, as well as for the interest of their clientele, that's why they prefer not to be upfront.

Muckraker Kevin Flaherty, however, discovered that AFP's website shares an IP address with Defense Product Solutions, which was founded in 2004, has contracts in the Middle East and works with a man named Edward Angelino, who in turn has worked with the militarily-inclined Allied Defense Systems, Inc. and Defense Consulting Group, Inc. A tangled web, indeed.


The only other things people seem to know about AFP is that they have a fleet of Mercedes SUVs that say "City of Hardin Police Department," they use a double-headed eagle emblem, have "virtual offices" in Washington DC and it registered its website on May 15th, two weeks after Hardin made its Guantanamo request.

This group may not fit the criteria for a good old American militia, but their ominous takeover of a small town's police force sounds pretty fucking paramilitary.

Oh man, begin crisis control with all the PRopaganda against Militias. No one will buy this shit. Not even the "bleeding hearts".
These people are Mercs, NOT "pothead militia".

One article I read stated that APF's been there for 10 months, others are saying the ISP is out of Portugal. But the big brother/cheesy imagery is over-the-top ridiculous. So is pimpin' into town with the Mercedes (what American police force drives Mercedes?) and the Serbian Coat of Arms. . . it just screams ridiculousness.

The physical address listed on their website is the same as a medical marijuana dispencary in california. Yes, they sell weed.

So you seriously think that this address is a legit address? Who's to prevent them from putting whatever address they want to? What's to prevent them from paying a monthly fee to the dispensary owner to collect whatever mail may show up and hold or forward it somewhere else? You're taking the MMJ address way too seriously as your evidence of it being "scammers" or "potheads". In all likelihood they didn't expect this to catch so much attention nationally, hence why the website was taken down and the address removed.

The phrase "He doth protest too much" comes to mind with your posts on this thread. Im not claiming to know what's going on but I know a hell of a lot more about the shady shit our gov't, the CIA, and these "private security contractors" are up to than the likelihood of some pothead scammers trying to take over an empty prison while driving MB trucks. Some random address doesn't mean shit in the big picture. Interesting thread though, definitely something to watch.

An attorney for American Police Force, Maziar Mafi, describes the Santa Ana, Calif., company as a fledgling spin-off of a major security firm founded in 1984. But Mafi declined to name the parent firm or provide details on how the company will finance its jail operations.

My only tinfoil-fueled hypothesis is that perhaps the BATFE is somehow in on this and it's intended to bring out some of the hardcore, underground Montana militia with this little clown show. Maybe even try to recruit militia guys with their training facilities or something.

Look at all we've found out about the sketchy nature of these guys within hours, and we don't have anything near the same resources as the government or law enforcement. Yet they have not swarmed the place. Very strange indeed.

While there are some skeptics among Hardin officials, all seem to agree the city has to take a chance on APF. Two Rivers has gone into default on its bond payments for the empty jail and the agency is nearly out of money.

So because Two Rivers made a bad investment the city "has to take a chance..."

That is utterly ridiculous.

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/09/30/us/AP-US-Montana-Jail.html


BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) -- Michael Hilton pitched himself to officials in Hardin, Mont. as a military veteran turned private sector entrepreneur, a California defense contractor with extensive government contracts who promised to turn the rural city's empty jail into a cash cow.

Hardin's leaders were desperate to fill the $27 million jail, which has sat empty since its 2007 completion.

So when Hilton came to town last week -- wearing a military-style uniform and offering three Mercedes SUVs for use by local law enforcement -- he was greeted with hugs by some grateful residents. The promise of more than 200 new jobs for a community struggling long before the recession hit had won them over.

But public documents and interviews with Hilton's associates and legal adversaries offer a different picture, that of a convicted felon with a number of aliases, a string of legal judgments against him, two bankruptcies and a decades-long reputation for deals gone bad.

American Police Force is the company Hilton formed in March to take over the Hardin jail.

''Such schemes you cannot believe,'' said Joseph Carella, an Orange County, Calif. doctor and co-defendant with Hilton in a real estate fraud case that resulted in a civil judgment against Hilton and several others.

''The guy's brilliant. If he had been able to do honest work, he probably would have been a gazillionaire,'' Carella said.

Court documents show Hilton has outstanding judgments against him in three civil cases totaling more than $1.1 million.

As for Hilton's military expertise, including his claim to have advised forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, those interviewed knew of no such feats. Instead, Hilton was described alternately by those who know him as an arts dealer, cook, restaurant owner, land developer, loan broker and car salesman -- always with a moneymaking scheme in the works.

Hilton did not return several calls seeking comment. American Police Force attorney Maziar Mafi referred questions to company spokeswoman Becky Shay.

When asked about court records detailing Hilton's past, Shay replied, ''The documents speak for themselves. If anyone has found public documents, the documents are what they are.''

Shay declined comment on Hilton's military experience.

Al Peterson, vice president of Hardin's Two Rivers Authority, which built the jail, declined to comment on Hilton's legal troubles. He refused to say if he knew about Hilton's past when the authority reached a 10-year agreement with American Police Force last month.

The deal is worth more than $2.6 million a year, according to city leaders.

Hilton has also pledged to build a $17 million military and law enforcement training center. And he's promised to dispatch security to patrol Hardin's streets, build an animal shelter and a homeless shelter and offer free health care to city resident's out of the jail's clinic.

Those additional promises were not included in the jail agreement, which remains in limbo because US Bank has so far declined to sign off on the contract. The bank is the trustee for the bonds used to fund the jail.

A US Bank spokeswoman declined to comment, but Peterson was adamant the deal would be approved.

''It's a solid deal. That's all I'll say,'' he said.

But a representative of a corrections advocacy group that has been critical of Hardin's jail and has investigated Hilton's past said city leaders dropped the ball.

''I'm amazed that city officials didn't do basic research that would have raised significant questions about American Private Police Force and Mr. Hilton's background,'' said Alex Friedmann, vice president of the Private Corrections Institute.

Hilton, 55, uses the title ''captain'' when introducing himself and on his business cards. But he acknowledged it was not a military rank.

He said he is naturalized U.S. citizen and native of Montenegro. Aliases for Hilton that appear in court documents include Miodrag Dokovich, Michael Hamilton, Hristian Djokich and Michael Djokovich.

One attorney who dealt with Hilton in a fraud lawsuit referred to him as a ''chameleon'' and he has a reputation for winning people over with his charm.

His criminal record goes back to at least 1988, when Hilton was arrested in Santa Ana, Calif. for writing bad checks.

Beginning in 1993, Hilton spent six years in prison in California on a dozen counts of grand theft and other charges including illegal diversion of construction funds.

The charges included stealing $20,000 in a real estate swindle in which Hilton convinced an associate to give him a deed on property in Long Beach, Calif., ostensibly as collateral on a loan. Hilton turned around and sold the property to another party but was caught when the buyer contacted the original owner.

After his release, he got entangled in at least three civil lawsuits alleging fraud or misrepresentation. Those included luring investors to sink money into gold and silver collectible coins; posing as a fine arts dealer in Utah in order to convince a co uple to give him a $100,000 silver statue; and, in the case involving co-defendant Carella, seeking investors for an assisted living complex in Southern California that was never built.

Carella said he was duped into becoming a partner in the development project and that Hilton used Carella's status as a physician to lure others into the scheme. He was described in court testimony as a ''pawn'' used by Hilton to lure investors.

Those involved with Hilton say he is an accomplished cook with a flair for the extravagant -- wining and dining potential partners, showing up at the Utah couple's house to negotiate for the silver statue in a chauffeur-driven Mercedes.

''This is the way we got taken,'' said Carolyn Call of Provo, Utah, who said she gave Hilton her family's silver statue to sell on the open market.

According to court documents, Hilton turned around and gave the statue to an attorney to pay for his services.

Two California attorneys said Wednesday that after learning of Hilton's latest activities they planned to follow him to Montana to seek payment on the outstanding judgments against him.

''Once I know that there is an asset or some sort of funds to go after, we'll go after it,'' said Call's attorney, Roger Naghash.

Associated Press writers Amy Taxin in Santa Ana and Greg Risling in Los Angeles and researcher Barbara Sambriski in New York contributed to this story.

What exactly are you gloating about? That this company has shady people running it? Whooppee fucking doo. That's not exactly a revelation considering our Government has contracts with shady people/company's all the time and I wasn't expecting a group of boyscouts to be behind the American Police Force. It doesn't change the fact that Hardin's Two Rivers Authority is working on finalizing a contract worth ~$2.6m a year with this company.

BILLINGS - Three weeks after announcing a deal with American Police Force, Two River's Authority officials say the contract is yet to be finalized.
Two River's Authority Vice President Al Peterson says the contract is on its second or third re-write. He says an agreement is still hinging on tax laws and making sure the bonds used to fund the jail remain tax-free.

Two Rivers officials hope to have the contract approved by their next meeting scheduled for October 5th. Peterson says the deal will be released to the public after it's signed.
http://www.kulr8.com/home/related/62995547.html

Al Peterson, vice president of Hardin's Two Rivers Authority, which built the jail, declined to comment on Hilton's legal troubles. He refused to say if he knew about Hilton's past when the authority reached a 10-year agreement with American Police Force last month.

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009...tana-Jail.html

Still, some Hardin leaders said the deal to turn over the 464-bed jail remained on track.

The agreement with American Police Force has been heavily promoted by members of the city's economic development branch, the Two Rivers Authority. Authority Vice President Albert Peterson on Friday repeated his claim to be “100 percent” confident in the company.

Ok, so I finally read through this whole thread and some things still aren't adding up to me. I've been getting some pretty crazy emails about this whole situation and I'd appreciate some help in reconciling them with what seems to be the consensus here:



Hi all,Lots going on and I will tell you this is just a warm up for what is to come.This private police force has in it hands all gun owners from registrations.I will remind you that NO government has EVER registered weapons and not confiscated them.Now reports from Montana are that roadblocks have been set up and residents are being told to REPORT to a RFID station so this private police force will have knowledge of locations of all weapons in this town.Accordingly this PRIVATE POLICE FORCE has announced that they will have similar "EXERCISES" in THIRTY other towns throughout the US.Accordingly look at their logo and also researching this firm they state that they are 75% FOREIGN personnell.The interveiw I saw was with a man with a very heavy eastern block ascent. Many REAL patriots are going to Hardin as we speak to support and investigate.I just recieved a comm that this is a hoax because the main stream media is not covering this.Wake up!!!I guess if you are so ignorant that you still have faith in the main stream media you might just as well report to the RFID station now or better yet just turn them in as you are just what they want.Ignorant and cowardly.





This email came to me this afternoon from a friend that I have never known to lie or exaggerate, someone I trust to be honest with me. I am sending this out without corroboration and caution everyone to check out the information for yourself, I will do the same. I received several credible emails last week from a very good friend that reported the takeover of the new prison by an international private police force that has significant ties to Washington, DC. That was verified in an AP article a few days later and now this email comes through. We need to use any and all sources at our disposal to confirm or disprove this email. It is far too important to the future of our state and nation to ignore. If you have any contacts in the Hardin area, please forward this email and request their help in validating or disproving what has been said here.

“Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.” Isaiah 60:1

“…We must remember: how we vote is how we will be visited. In the Greek, the word for ‘visitation’ is linked not only with the concept of overseeing but also with casting a vote. People who live in a nation with a democratic process that forms how they are governed are allowed by a holy God who rules the earth to choose their future. We, like Israel of old, can demand a king and then wake up one morning and see that those whom we have chosen have now made choices for us that are detrimental to our future…

As the word of God says in 1 Samuel 8:18, the Lord warned the people that if they chose a king who was not His choice, the following would happen: “You will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you in that day.” We can always make a choice that will be detrimental to our lives in days ahead…The factor of time causes our true hearts to be seen and the consequences of our choices to manifest.” (quote from ‘Redeeming the Time’ by Chuck Pierce)

THE SHAKING HAS BEGUN!

Dear Intercessors,

Things are moving so quickly and we are out of time! The spirit of Pharaoh has entered our land! We have found out that our little town of Hardin is the 'test town' for President Obama’s new law to privatize the police force of local communities. Last night, the city council voted to disband our sheriff’s department and to bring in a private security company to police the town.

Interestingly, earlier in the day, the mayor when asked in an interview about the privatization of our police department completely denied it and said that would not be done with out a council meeting. Then that evening, a council meeting was held in regards to that very thing. At the beginning of this month, our local prison signed an agreement with the American Police Force which is a subsidiary of a larger private security force that the U.S. used in the Iraq war and Hurricane Katrina.

Yesterday, a convoy of twelve 'blacked out' Mercedes Benz SUV’s were brought into town. They were already painted with Hardin’s colors and ‘Hardin Police Force’ was already painted on them! Hardin’s sheriff’s department will no longer be in operation after the month of October. During October, the Sheriff’s Department is to train this new security force in all the logistics of running the town of Hardin. If you go on the American Police Force site, you might notice that the logo they use is actually a Russian logo. I have been told that the man who came with this new security force as the captain, has a thick Russian accent.

Earlier this month, in an interview in regards to this Hardin prison and the training center that they are planning to build, we were told that seventy five percent of the security officers that were to be trained would be ‘international’.

This private security force is already patrolling the town. They had several people stopped yesterday. Also, it appears that they are building some type of heavy duty gate at the entrances of our town.

In an interview, the American Police Force security has stated that they will stay here one month to assess the population and then they will make their permanent base here. They said they are scouting out thirty towns in the U.S. but that Hardin is the first. Also, President Obama has authorized and signed a bill for full government funding of the privatization of the police departments throughout the U.S. By the end of October, it is their plan to have all major cities locked down!

In an interview with one of the city council members, he stated that this new H1N1 shot which has not been tested will be mandatory and if a resident of our town refuses, they will be taken to our prison where they will be quarantined. A federal law has been passed that makes it mandatory that all health care workers have to take this new shot. If they do not, they will automatically loose their jobs.

The new federal law that is in place makes gives you four choices in regards to this new shot. One, you can voluntarily take it or you can refuse and be taken to a place to be quarantined, or as an alternative; if you refuse, you can have a chip placed in you to track you or a tracking bracelet which cannot be taken off. The state borders will be manned and locked down in the near future in regards to this mandatory shot.

I am also told by a reliable source that today one of the managers at a local business in Hardin was visited by this new private security force which is now the new Hardin Police Department. He is an avid hunter and they came to inform him that they had a list of all fire arms that he owned; this includes all the residents of our town, and that he would need to take his guns down to have them put a marking device on them.
Also, today, one of the main streets in Hardin was completely blocked off and they have been setting up information booths where they are passing out pamphlets with information on this new H1N1 shot.

Intercessors, I am not making up any of this information! You can go on the internet and verify most of this information from KULR 8, MSNBC or Fox news. Things have changed so quickly in the last 24 hours! Things are not and will never be the same. We are indeed going into the prophesied 'four years of captivity for America'. I believe we are about to enter into a time of persecution that the Church in America has never known! We must prepare! The good news is that this is also the time when the Glory of God will manifest itself in a way we have never known!

In His Service,



I just heard confirmation of the scenario outlined in the letter from Hardin. A very good friend and the most credible and honest guy I can think of, just made a phone call this evening to a friend living in Hardin (a Hardin businessman) who has confirmed that everything in the letter is factual. Factual right down to the Black Mercedes SUVs and according to this man, the Sheriff is not in town and has not been seen for several days. According to this gentleman, there is near panic in the town because these guys have just moved in and taken over and the "city fathers" have allowed it to happen with little or no opposition. This is like something out of a horror movie, except it is happening right here in Montana. I am copying a few of you that didn't get this the first time now that I have had several sources to confirm the original letter. This is something that everyone should know and be very, very concerned about. The things that are happening in this country right before our eyes are something that most of us couldn't have conceived even a year or two ago. God bless and God save our Republic.

The original holes in the story are still holes. Some of them are even bigger. Nothing has really been explained yet that is backed up with evidence other than that the buyer is a probably a known scammer. Does that prove, though, that APF isn't a front group for a bigger security firm with a reputation that would have drawn attention instantly? And why are the Twin River folks and Shay saying they have seen credible documents? And why will they not say who APF is fronting? If Twin Rivers was being scammed surely by now they would be filing lawsuits against APF and not saying they are assured the deal would still go through?

Bob Prince. I wonder if he is related to Erik Prince of Blackwater? Some interesting background on the Two Rivers Facility done by Montana's Legislative Audit Division in 2007. The facility was originally to be operated and managed by a company called Civigenics of Texas. Bob Prince is the Marketing Liaison for Civigenics.

Another interesting note on this audit is how the consortium of financers of the Two Rivers facility (The Municipal Capital Market Group of Texas) built another facility in Willacy County Texas to accomodate Homeland Security to house illegal immigrants but Homeland Security would only commit to a 2 yr contract. Those in the know are aware that Illegal Immigrants were just the excuse to build detention centers in the first place. The county commisioners were convicted of accepting bribes from the same company who built the Hardin Facility.

Hmmmm....there is a lot of data mining to be done on the origins of the Two Rivers facility itself....not just current events at the facility.

Hmmmm...some info on another prison built by the same construction company Hale-Mills. Not enought time to research more prisons but wanted to post so I can come back to it and not forget where I left off:

Case Study: Willacy County Correctional Facility - Raymondville, TX

http://privateprisonwatch.net/2009/07/04/case-study-willacy-county-adult-correctional-facility.aspx

The Willacy County Adult Correctional Facility is a 540-bed prison contracted with the U.S. Marshals Service. The facility was built in 2002 using $23.9 million in revenue bonds issued by the Willacy CountyPublic Finance Corporation. The Management and Training Corporation, a Utah-based private prison operator, was awarded a $43 million contract to operate the jail after it was constructed. A few years later, the Willacy County Facility would prove to be one of the more corrupt Texas prisons.

In January 2005, two Willacy County Commissioners resigned their posts and plead guilty to receiving kick-backs in conjunction with the private jail project. The Commissioners, Israel Tamez and Jose Jimenez, accepted $10,000 in bribes from construction companies connected to the project in return for their votes in favor of the project. In March 2005, a third south Texas official pled guilty to funneling money from aprivate prison developer to the former Willacy County Commissioners. The ex-Commissioner, David Cortez of Webb County, resigned his position and pled guilty to conspiring to “obstruct, delay and affect commerce.” Prosecutors allege that Cortez helped funnel at least $39,000 to “several” Willacy County commissioners from an unnamed company involved in the jail’s development. In late May, 2005, Willacy County sued two of the companies involved in the contract – CorPlace Corrections and Hale-Mills – in state district court claiming that the companies conspired to bribe the commissioners to win thecontract to build the prison.

In 2007, fifty detainees report finding maggots in their rotten food, a serious lack of toiletries, and a lack of air conditioning,which has resulted in several detainees fainting (TPB). Other problems include lack of sanitary supplies, little communication with the outside including legal counsel, and problems with the air conditioning and heating systems. According to the news report, “security guards say they can not believe what they see, they make reports and advise superiors but the situation is the same. Detainees are desperate and things may get out of hand.”

In 2008, a Willacy County grand jury indicted former Vice President Dick Cheney andFormer Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on state charges related to the alleged abuse of prisoners in Willacy County's federal detention centers (CHRON). Additionally, two local commissioners and Texas State Senator Eddie Lucio Jr. were indicted for bribery. However, these indictments were never authorized by Presiding Judge Manuel Banales of the Fifth Administrative Judicial Region, and have not been completed.

Montana AG launches probe of jail deal
Company in deal with city is headed by a convicted felon with fraud history

BILLINGS, Mont. - Montana's attorney general launched an investigation Thursday into a California company that wants to take over an empty jail in the rural city of Hardin, following revelations that the company's lead figure is a convicted felon with a history of fraud.

Michael Hilton, who formed Santa Ana, Calif.-based American Police Force in March, came to Hardin last month promising to fill the city's never-used jail and build a large military and law enforcement training center.

Hilton has a decades-long track record of fraudulent activities and spent several years in a California prison on grand theft charges. A native of Montenegro, he uses at least 17 aliases.

It tried to blow it up and sharpen, didn't help much. The pic was pulled from the video and just isn't clear. I also searched plates, both us and world. It doesn't match any known, that I could find.
It does look like it says "Mercedes of Im...." and could be a dealer sales plate. or a possible vanity plate.
That is NOT a legal plate. It is illegal.
So I have to ask again, Why has there been NO arrest.

"National Security" perhaps?

Perhaps,
It is puzzling. If it was a scam, a joke or some promotion it would be easy to understand and accept.
There seem to be many questionable connections here.
And they seem to be protected from LE, for offenses that any other would be immediately arrested.
:confused:

Well there could have been a dealer-temp plate which is just a piece of paper in the rear-window --- I see dealer-cars driving around all the time in NY without real plates. I'm wondering if there hasn't been any real investigations because Montana is so sparse and not a crazy police state like ny.

I keep reading that all these actions are illegal, but I haven't seen the city charter posted here to back any of those assertions. Who there is allowed to create/hire police and police departments? Have you seen the contractual agreement signed between the two parties concerned (the city itself and AFP)?

It is called "Impersonating a Police Officer" and it is illegal in any place I have ever been.
There is no Hardin City Police Dept. It is under the Sheriffs jurisdiction.
There was nothing about this in the City Counsel minutes, They were working with the Sheriff Dept.
They Identified themselves initially as Hardin Police Dept.
Hence, my question.

Can you post the text of the law concerning what EXACTLY is defined as "Impersonating a Police Officer in either Montana or locally?"

Generally speaking (which is worthless when discussing the law... kind of my point here, anyway), in order for the offense to qualify as impersonating a police officer, one most impersonate actual police officers (or an actual police force).



There is no Hardin City Police Dept.

Exactly, so which police officer/police department were they TECHNICALLY impersonating?

What sort of municipality is this (per Montana's state laws regarding incorporation)?

What does Montana's state law say regarding their type of Municipality and the hiring/appointing of police officers/police departments?

Who has what authority in what situations?

Do you see how this works, and why we need to know the ACTUAL law before we can draw the conclusions that you've been lead to?



It is under the Sheriffs jurisdiction.

...and they didn't impersonate the sheriff



There was nothing about this in the City Counsel minutes

You read ALL of the counsel's minutes (going how far back), but cannot produce the city charter that ACTUALLY MATTERS?

Help me out here.

I don't know, and am not in Montana. I am asking because it is a crime elsewhere, and commonly prosecuted.

I am not the only one asking this same question.

It also seems that it is a crime in Montana.

Butte-Silver Bow County Sheriff John Walsh said Friday that officer John Bleile resigned June 16. The officer was charged in October 2007 for slamming a patron of the Vu Villa Bar against the wall the previous June. He also was charged with impersonating a peace officer because he was on administrative leave at the time of the incident and threatened to arrest people that evening.
I am not a lawyer and am not LE. I am an outlaw that has been the target of Laws and lawyers.
I wonder why the same treatment does not seem to apply.
