That's not true. It may be glorious to talk of Blackwater Mercenaries on the Alex Jones network, but it's still not true.
Everyone who has paid attention to even a little of what I have to say knows that I'm not a fan of Alex Jones. In fact, they would acknowledge that I am actively hostile towards him. (I've got my well-defined reasons, unrelated to this reply.)
That said,
this particular segment of an infowars.com webcast is not of Jones, but rather, one of his employees or volunteers or whatever their structure is there, and he's not talking about Blackwater mercenaries, but he's talking directly with a caller who identifies his Oklahoma Army National Guard unit and goes on to describe their deployment to NOLA in the aftermath of Katrina. If this were a setup by Jones or his cohorts, I would immediately dismiss it as unreliable. But this guy called into the show to talk about the previous day's topic (government gun confiscations) because he couldn't call in then, but he thought the info he was sharing was important enough to go off-topic the next day. I don't know....I suppose it's possible that the huckster Jones could've set this up, but the guy sounds credible to me, and anyone who knows anything about military unit designations can figure out if there's any inconsistencies in his unit identifiers.
The people you saw confiscating guns were local and imported Police Officers. The infamous video of them taking the little old ladies gun, were Officers that came to assist from the California Highway Patrol. The Black Democrat Mayor and Black Democrat Police Chief, decided that it would be "for your own good" to prevent anyone from "Having Weapons" due to some shooting activity from local gangs at night. So what is the typical Black Democrat response. Nobody can have guns. It's what they've been taught in decades of Democrat rule on the Democrat Plantation. But no Mercenaries, Federal Troops or National Guard kicked in any doors.
Umm....Really? Besides the (apparently all-white) Oklahoma National Guard troops featured in this news report taking over a church as a "base of operations" without permission from the pastor, I suggest you watch and pay attention to the whole 2:06 video, but that you listen very carefully to the last few seconds of one of them giving an interview to the ABC reporter, starting about 1:55:
First, they knew very few people were still in their homes and they were without power and communication for the most part. Then, when the idiots in charge gave the order, Police Officers from Gun Control Utopias like California, had no problem confiscating guns. You also had the @$$hole Sheriff in St. Tammany Parish who decided that it would be best to confiscate guns from people leaving the area, because homes were being burglarized, and guns were being stolen. Again, yes the tactics were thuggish and jack booted, but they were all local or imported cops. Not Mercenaries or Feds.
I knew I had heard this meme before that only cops were involved in confiscations in NOLA. "Where did I hear that," I kept thinking as I read this post. Then it hit me. Of course! Wayne LaPierre and the NRA to the rescue! (
Part 1 and
Part 2) For some reason, LaPierre and this whole freakin' commercial sales pitch lies about no feds or National Guard being involved in gun confiscating in NOLA after Katrina. But as this screen-cap from the first minute and a half of Part 1 proves, federal agents were attached to local Sheriff and PD units during the sweeps. In this case it was a DEA agent that LaPierre's producers neglected to edit out of the video:
That, combined with the first link to the infowars.com webcast, should put to rest the myth that no NG or feds were involved in confiscating guns in NOLA.
Click on this link to a clip from, "Washington, You're Fired," and hear the narrator talk about the National Guard, DEA, ATF, and US Marshals breaking into people's homes, confiscating weapons, and in some cases, evicting residents who were on dry land in their own properties.
Feds were definitely involved, and the only reason I can think of why LaPierre and the NRA would try to claim otherwise is linked to what I've been talking about all week - The NRA is in bed with the feds. They make their living(s), and damned good ones at that, by compromising with feds over our supposedly unalienable rights. You can't compromise on something that is unalienable or inviolate, which means the NRA would cease to exist if the feds ever accepted that our rights are such. The NRA works with the feds within the structure of all-powerful government that issues permission-slips for when/how/where/why we will be
allowed to exercise our "rights." Being *allowed* to exercise
rights is a total contradiction in terms, an oxymoron for which the NRA uses to dishonestly separate you from your money. They are controlled opposition.
