Mercs Being Sent To Ferguson

[AuH20]

Me no like mercs. I don't care how uncivilized the people of that area are. There are certain things that you don't do for money.

Yes deploying mercenaries who have been trained to kill all their life to deal with riots is a very smart decision.Sometimes I really wonder how the USA even manages to maintain to be a superpower.

This is the type of move that makes you want to cheer for the looters. I hate mercs. Mercs will utilized extensively against the patriot movement in future flashpoints. Hell, they had some shady characters dressed up in BLM outfits in Nevada.

Maybe Walmart or Starbucks has hired them? Probably too expensive for a business to hire, there has to be taxpayer money paying for it.

God forbid any of these businesses hire local people to be security guards!

Some of their rates are pretty steep. Overseas Mercs can easily take in $1000 per day depending on the theater. So imagine what their organizations are billing their clients.

Who the hell are they guarding that's so important? Holder and Co.? WTF!!!

That's probably it. Eric Holder, Attorney General of the US, to be guarded by heavily armed mercenaries. A real "man of the people" there.

if true, this means that this rat bastard is up to his knees in the shit and doesn't trust anyone.

[JK/SEA]

Doesn't Missouri have a MIAC fusion center and other nefarious oppressive shit like a large FEMA camp?...what else are they protecting..

BREAKING:

just read that Johnson is changing his story. Seems Brown did grab for the gun. Case closed. Better call in the Guard and send in the clowns...

God Bless our heroes. I will now take a knee and kiss the ring with head bowed.

over and out.

[tod evans]

If they've hired out to government then they need to be rooted out and strung up.

If they've hired out to private citizens or businesses to keep looters and government agents at bay they need to be commended...

Sometimes you have to take a knee so that you can later on stab a knife in their back.

Eric Holder motorcade in process in St. Louis. They could have hired these guys.

[Ronin Truth]

Maybe they could hire the Black Panthers to.......... oh wait, I guess that wouldn't work.

I'm sure the citizens of Ferguson must be proud to be in the same breath as these other fine communities.

[DevilsAdvocate]

This is probably their way of offloading accountability in case the thing blows up. If things go bad, it wasn't the gov, it was the mercs.

[presence]

You almost get the sense there is a test going on right now to see which flag the mundanes will bow under the quickest.

Local PD SWAT
County PD SWAT
State Highway
FBI
now Mercs

Next...

UN peacekeepers

That's part of why they are paid the big bucks. Same with most other contractors, in general. Some folks just need to function as the javelin catchers.

Might as well keep the party going. I think DHS will be showing themselves soon, as part of the fed power grab that will happen due to this. "The state just can't handle a large scale response like the feds can" they will say.

One of my favorite Bible stories. Judges 3: 12-31 http://biblehub.com/judges/3.htm

I was just about to paste that.

Superbook rendered it beautifully with the king grabbing the dudes right hand and accusing Ehud of planning to assassinate him, not realising Ehud was lefthanded.

From the comment section of the gatewaypundit article:


My guess is AS was hired by a client (could be a private business OR the city of Ferguson) to scope out the agent provocateurs in the rioting crowd, segregate them, and remove them. These guys know what they're doing. And if you followed the trail of tweets last night, you read that THAT's exactly what was happening.

Smart move, I'd say. And definitely NOT an Obama tactic. Quite the opposite. These guys at AS were probably hired to reverse engineer the Saul Alinsky method: Polarize, freeze, and remove the enemy.


Read the bios on these guys. They're patriots. Exactly the kind that the Dept. of Homeland Security sees as a risk. Ergo: They're my heroes.

Thank god most of the comments are not that asinine.

What would segregate and remove mean? Under what authority to use force would this private company be operating under?

[CPUd]

From the comment section of the gatewaypundit article:

That's sorta what they were doing last night. Instead of teargassing everyone, the police encircled the group and moved the crowd to an adjacent lot. Then they pulled about 10-15 people out of the crowd and arrested them. Then they backed off and the locals continued the protests.

There was a lot of communication between people in the protest group, the cops on the street and probably somewhere from a distance about who to remove from the crowd.

Wages are a pittance compared to logistics cost.

[69360]

Probably executive protection of some sort.

[WD-NY]

Huh??

That comment sounds pretty spot on and if true, why wouldn't you be glad that someone local* brought a team of ex-SEALS in to identify Alinsky-types within the crowd and remove them?

*Given that the FEDs *want* the Alinsky-types to succeed in creating a crisis, I also agree with the original commentator that the SEALs are definitely not working for them

[Natural Citizen]

Exactly.

Citizen's arrest? It seemed like an obvious solution for the locals who kept identifying outside, unknown provocateurs.

That sounds good but it also sounds like a bunch of lawsuits and criminal charges waiting to happen (assault, murder, etc). These mercenaries often act outside of the rule of law in the countries they are usually deployed in. Now they are being deployed domestically against US citizens.

Why does Manila get thrown in with Baghdad, Kabul and Peshwar???

That's a fairly normal city. It has rough parts of town just like any city in the U.S. It's not a bad city compared to those. I've been there a bunch of times. I have no idea why the incorrect spelling is bothering me, I'm terrible at spelling.




And why are Mercs announcing they are coming? If your job is protection, why are you bringing extra attention to your presence and implying you are protecting someone? Why bring more attention!?

Statement from Asymmetric Solutions.

Maybe Geraldo went out there...



Asymmetric Solutions

In response to more inquiry:

We were recently contacted by a professional investigative journalist that some of our ranks have previously escorted into highly dangerous combat zones. This individual requested that we escort their small group into Ferguson, Missouri to view the ongoing issues for future commentary. We took this individual in and out of the area safely without incident.

We were not hired to work for the state, for the police, to work as peacekeepers, mercenaries, cops for hire, etc. We have done similar personal bodyguard and high risk logistics work with journalists who are interested in reporting from hostile areas all over the world.

We normally do not comment on this side of our work. At suggestion of our client who felt our position was unique, our public message was one of frustration that someone who would typically call upon us to escort them to Baghdad, Kabul, etc. would feel the need to ask us to take them into a suburb of St. Louis, our own wonderful city. It is tragic that things have degenerated to this point. The metro area is our home and we believe the coverage of St. Louis and this incident by major media is fueling the issue unnecessarily for their own benefit.

In our time inside the Ferguson area, we came into ancillary contact with numerous demonstrators and protestors who did not seem to have any commitment to violence or chaos, but only wanted to peacefully have their opinion heard or report on the matters at hand. It seems a few bad actors are being treated as the whole.

We strongly support The US Constitution and have sworn an oath to it. The First Amendment Rights to assemble and speak and print are not limited to only pretty, popular, or mainstream opinions. They are among the most sacred things that are to be protected by Government. A free society is not always a convenient or easy society.

Law and order is important. Rioters and looters should be arrested and prosecuted. They cannot be used an excuse for the Governor to unnecessarily detain or arrest a peaceful press or lawful demonstrators. The Government has a duty to defend those liberties with the same vigor in which they defend private property from theft and destruction.

Our brief venture into the Ferguson area was to make our resources and experience available to help ensure that necessary liberties could be practiced by the press without threat of incidental violence or misguided repression.

We hope the situation resolves soon.
