Militia: Operation American Spring to hit D.C. to oust Obama, Biden, Boehner, Holder

[CaseyJones]

A group of self-described revolutionary-style patriots with a million mobilized militia members are heading to downtown Washington, D.C., this week to bring a simple message to political leadership, from President Obama to House Speaker John Boehner: Get out.

They’re called the Operation American Spring — and they’re vowing to oust the likes of Mr. Obama, Mr. Boehner, Attorney General Eric Holder, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Sen. Mitch McConnell, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Raw Story reported.

“We are calling for [their] removal … as a start toward constitutional restoration,” said retired Army Col. Harry Riley, the leader of the group, Raw Story reported. “They have all abandoned the U.S. Constitution, are unworthy to be retained in a position that calls for servant status.”

The aim of the group, too, is to influence those politicos who aren’t targeted for ouster to “sponsor and pass very constitutionally crafted state legislation to dissolve the size, powers, scope and spending of the U.S. government by two-thirds,” the media outlet reported.

The group expects between 10 million and 30 million similarly thinking Americans to meet them in the capital on Friday for a rally that’s being billed as a sort of “Arab Spring” for Americans.

Meanwhile, the group is holding another event on the same day in Bunerkville, Nev., near cattle rancher Cliven Bundy’s property and in support of his stand-off with the Bureau of Land Management over grazing fees.

The Friday event was promoted by Tea Party Nation.

Mr. Riley said he hopes the event will go forward peaceably, but that so far, peaceful protests haven’t brought citizens much luck. He also said that more than 1 million militia members have already mobilized for the event — and that projections of 10 million to attend aren’t pie in the sky.

“For more than five years, ‘we the people’ have been writing, calling, faxing Congress, the media, screaming in town halls, marching, rallying, demonstrating, petitioning, all to no avail,” he said, Raw Story reported. “Every branch of government looks at ‘we the people’ whom they have taken an oath to serve, as ‘pests,’ interfering with their political agenda, cramping their self-serving, greedy agendas. We have no faith in the ballot box any longer, as many believe this sacred secret box has been compromised.

BeforeItsNews says it is just cover for another terrorist attack.

http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2014/05/coup-alert-operation-american-spring-is-a-trap-2955314.html


SWITZERLAND, Zurich — On Tuesday, May 13, 2014, President Obama will award the Medal of Honor to former Army Sergeant Kyle J. White at the White House. Sgt. White allegedly risked his life to save fellow service members during a 2007 ambush in Afghanistan.
.
Three days later on Friday, May 16, 2014, Retired Colonel Harry Riley will lead a march of thousands of so-called “patriots” to Washington D.C. to “remove Obama, Biden, Reid, McConnell, Boehner, Pelosi, and Attorney General Holder from Office”.
.
Interestingly, Col. Riley has termed the march “OPERATION AMERICAN SPRING”, a name synonymous with Islamic terrorism. In essence, “Operation American Spring” is a trap to set-up well-meaning “patriots” for acts of state-sponsored terror so that Obama’s political opposition can be vilified and a civil war can commence.
.
It is during one or both of these seemingly harmless events that a state-sponsored coup d’état and/or terror attacks will likely take place. Although terror plots are always subject to change, most likely target is Washington, D.C., namely the Obama White House and the Washington Monument.


In what appears to be a pre-White House terror exercise, it was reported on May 6, 2014, that a car allegedly trailing President Obama daughters’ motorcade prompted a White House lockdown. Whether the lockdown provided the necessary cover for the installation of demolition explosives and/or weapons inside the White House is not known, but said explosives could be detonated via remote control at a future date (May 13-16?) in order to give the appearance of a coordinated coup or terrorist attack.
.
Aside from the Pennsylvania man who was arraigned for a White House threat on March 24, 2014, two people were arrested and charged for throwing items at the White House on May 9, 2014. Prior to a state-sponsored terror attacks, patsies are often arrested for trivial crimes against the target in question in order to set the precedent for the real attack which is forthcoming.
.
Interestingly, on May 11, 2014, it was revealed that the Washington Monument will finally be reopened to the public on May 12, 2014. Whether the 3-year closure has provided the necessary cover for the installation of demolition explosives and/or weapons inside the Washington Monument is not known, but said explosives could be detonated via remote control at a future date (May 13-16?) in order to give the appearance of a coordinated coup or terrorist attack.

Applying 9/11 conspiracy theories.

Well they just reopened the Washington Monument...

[Keith and stuff]

why has it not been more visibly promoted then? are you going?

Lack of interest in the event. https://www.facebook.com/OperationAmericanSpring

[Zippyjuan]

So they might fall a bit short of that "10 to 30 million" attending?

You haven't been looking???

I have heard about it,, not sure how serious it is or how many will show.
It has been heavily promoted on the Bundy FB page by several folks (not the Bundys themselves)

I figure I will be watching.

Not sure.. I have heard of it,, but I walk the dark alleys where some do not go.

Frankly,, I have been skeptical of it. (just a feeling)

Insightful. ;)

When I first heard of it I thought it might be connected to the Sovereign Movement and the Grand Juries,,that was going around last year,,

But I don't think it is. Not sure if there is any plan or leadership beyond this guy calling for folks to come.(and get their asses kicked)
There are a lot of angry folks in the country,, just how many will show up,??no idea. and plan for what they will do???no idea.
A bunch of angry barking at the moon..perhaps.. Violence from the State? perhaps..

I really don't expect to see the Col dragging Obama out by the ear..

[ZENemy]

I also heard about this around 4 months ago? Its been promoted pretty heavy.

I think it will make about as much impact as the:

1. Occupy movement, the cops got excellent training in herding, culling and rounding up unarmed teenagers and arresting people that stand funny.
2. Those truckers that were gonna "save the country"
3. Those bikers that were gonna "shut down the government"
4. The vets that were gonna go to DC and "drag the administration" from their seats.

Protesting merely validates their power over you.

"Yes sir, you are my master, Im just letting you know, I don't like it, you can still be my master but I'm gonna cry about it until you finally do something nice"

[Paulbot99]

I do see a false flag terror attack in this.

[pcosmar]

I do see a false flag terror attack in this.

I see a possibility of that as well.. or just enough troublemakers to declare Martial law.

They are calling for an unarmed protest,, but expect violence..

the inference is that violence will bring more people. and eventually these thugs that are beating you will see the light and join you,,and then arrest all the Administration. Maybe the Col.Riley is going to pull a military Coup.

I have been hearing,and seeing a bit,, but it didn't strike me as being quite right.. so I have not promoted it.

[Miss Annie]

i have been hearing about this since last year. It has been in the works for a very long time. From what I understand there are plenty of them, and Bundy's ranch gave them even more of an ability to congregate and organize. From what I understand this retired General has a very well orchestrated plan.

[Tod]

I've heard several references to an upcoming "American Spring" as though it were going to be a spontaneous event fueled by poor conditions, but this is the very first I've heard of a planned event with a specific date.

Very odd that this has not been discussed ad nauseum here if so many of us actually DID know about it earlier.

really? you are surprised after all this time by the cowardice of these keyboard toughguys?

lol.
Though I had heard of it I did not think it was worth promoting. And I really don't expect much to come of it,, at least nothing good.

Somewhat like the third party candidate I posted yesterday.. Says some stuff kinda good,,and a whole lot of questionable.
I just posted it as ,,"Hey.. this is out there".

I never got any kind of good vibes from this OAS.. but I will watch and see.

[CaseyJones]

what the fuck ever "man"

[Miss Annie]

I am shocked that no one had heard of it before. I have not been posting as much the last few months with my daughter being sick and thought for sure the topic had been brought up before.
I am sorry, I guess I should have posted about it myself. :o

[pcosmar]

what the fuck ever "man"

http://www.oas2014.com/2014/03/18/update22/

Operation American Spring (OAS) Status: Our grass-roots efforts are growing exponentially. Radio is now coming to us…we no longer have to seek exposure on the airways. Major stations are now contacting our Public Relations Team (Rose) asking for an OAS person to be on their show. Today we were on The Bill Martinez Live show. A syndicated, nationwide radio with over 250 stations broadcasting his show……so. the exposure is becoming an avalanche…OAS now has several men and women that are on radio shows, writing press releases, plus all of you doing what you are doing in support of our mission. God is good and He is the wind behind our grass-roots mission…we just have to believe in our honorable, noble effort.

State Operation Center (SOC) State leaders should have already contacted Don Johnson, SOC Coordinator. If not, you can reach Don at donjohnson@reagan.com. If your State does not have an active leader, then you must step up, contact Don. Don’t wait, we can no longer have an attitude of “let someone else do it”. The grave threat to our nation demands we all step forward and do something.

Opposition: Make no mistake, we are being attacked by those of greed, power-hungry, socialist, et al., but we keep on keeping on. Don’t be misled by rumors, false accusations trying to undermine us as to our direction. We are making our demands, grievances, and gathering in a constitutional fashion, which we will share with all of OAS soon…everything is in accordance with our constitution. Our mission is peaceful, unarmed, non-violent, obeying lawful rules. Our best message, protection, security will be the millions of patriots that have each other backs. Be there with us…….we have no choice, darkness is descending, and “we the people” must be the light under God’s grace.

Yeah man,, whatever. If you want to support this guy,, well, that is your choice.

[Badger Paul]

It will be shame to waste a nice weekend in D.C. while in jail.

[Tywysog Cymru]

This is supposed to be peaceful, right?

[CaseyJones]

I support no one any longer, I merely want to see my country men stand

[CaseyJones]

oh and aye to stand with them

[CaseyJones]

if need be I would take this army from him and lead it into the breach

[pcosmar]

This is supposed to be peaceful, right?

No.. Un-armed and nonviolent victims.


Assumptions:
Millions of Americans will participate.
American veterans and patriots are energized to end the tyranny, lawlessness, and shredding of the US Constitution.
Government is not the target, it is sound; corrupt and criminal leadership must be replaced.
Those in power could use force against unarmed, peaceful patriots exercising their constitutional rights.
Patriots could be harmed, but not expected.
There is no hope given today’s technology of secrecy for the effort nor do we want it secret.

FWIW, I scrounged that forum today for this and all the other information I could find. To be quite honest, it looks like they are VERY organized and it looks like there are more numbers than just what one sees on the forum and facebook. I saw it posted somewhere that most of the people just really don't want to be identified and so they do not use the internet.
They are even so well thought out that they are going to be limiting their communications to Hand held Hamm radios. Very interesting actually.

[Warrior_of_Freedom]

what kind of crap article is this? 30 million Americans? Give me a break. If this group exists they'd be lucky to get 10,000

[Zippyjuan]

In the video pcomscar posted earlier, they say they had a rally in March 2007 where they went to "protect the monuments" like the Vietnam War Monument from "an invasion of commie socialist peace mongers" who were having a peace rally that day. "People who wanted to ruin the country like the Vietnam demonstrators did". He claimed his units had the commies outnumbered "by a large multiple". Reports of the event say he had maybe a couple of hundred while about 10,000 - 30,000 anti-war demonstrators were there (lowest number bottom range of police estimates- top number highest figure from the rally sponsors). He does seem to inflate things and be pro- US military intervention.

Do they have a permit? Without one in D.C. I think he's asking for problems...

[Miss Annie]

Yes.

[enoch150]

This promoted for... it seems like about a year. Definitely since last year. I've seen it on 4chan's /pol/, a CT Glenn Beck meetup email list, and it was mentioned at a VA Tea Party group meeting. It didn't get much support in any of those places. It seems like the people promoting it want to micromanage the "how" but are pretty short details when it comes to the "why". I never thought it would amount to anything.

[Tod]

Here is my call now:

Non-event that will barely be attended and barely covered by any sort of news media, MS or alternative.

[Zippyjuan]

But they promised 10- 30 million people tomorrow!

(I do agree with you).

[69360]

subtract about 6 zeros and you will get the actual number of attendees.

[pcosmar]

I would be surprised if there is a significant crowd..
There is still a significant Patriot community around but they tend to be both cautious and knowledgeable (constitutionalists).

and there is a lot of anger throughout the country,,especially among disillusioned republicans,

I think this is a play on the latter. A lot of wind,,very little substance.
I will watch and see,, but I have found nothing yet that is at all inspiring.. to me at least.

[AuH20]

Don't expect those numbers on a work day.

[Miss Annie]

What I find strange and very confusing is that on this site, so often I hear people complain because "no one takes action". People ask, "when are people going to get pissed enough to do something?". But when I see attempts at people doing something, such as this...... such as the bikers and truckers going to DC, etc... the response I see here is very confusing.
I do not see enthusiasm but simply a lot of apathy. I really do not understand.

Yeah, I wouldn't march with these HOO-RAH, AMERRKUH, PRO-WAR "patriots" if that video is anything to go by. This guy keeps spouting rhetoric straight out of the McCarthy years and believes peace protesters are a problem. After doing a bit of research, it seems he and some of the people organizing this are all about the military and will not stand for people besmirching the name of all those good soldiers who keep America safe. Barf.

And just what about this is "taking action"? What action? What purpose?

Ok,, lets say after getting violently assaulted for a while,, the crowd remains and they get their wish (I doubt it) and Obama Holder and Boehner and Biden all step down.
Who replaces them? And then what?

Back to business as usual.
