FBI Alert?

COLORADO, FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, WYOMING (U//FOUO) FBI Alert: Middle-Eastern Males Approaching Family Members of US Military Personnel [More]

Public Intelligence has a good reputation for not going off half-cocked and spreading spurious or unvetted stuff. Still, it pays to be cautious, for instance, documents can be forged and the best of us can be fallible, so when the alert advised "Comments and queries may be addressed to the DENVER Division at 303-629-7171," I took 'em up on it.

The guy at the switchboard put me through to their media liaison, a special agent, actually, and her voice message advised if I wanted a timely answer, to send an email.

Fair enough. I prefer things documented anyway, so I wrote:

I am a member of the news media and a field editor for GUNS Magazine. I am attempting to determine the authenticity of the SIR presented at the Public Intelligence website: https://publicintelligence.net/fbi-middle-eastern-males/ As this is already making the rounds on the internet, and evidently on the verge of gaining wider notice, the FOUO notice no longer seems much of a deterrent. Can you confirm if it is authentic?

And received back:

Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide any information on the authenticity or contents of the document you sent. Our standard practice is to neither confirm nor deny investigations or comment on bulletins provided to law enforcement partners. Thank you,

Reading between the lines...

If anybody knows anyone who received this alert in an LE capacity and I can validate that, tell them I offer the same source protection guarantees the Fast and Furious guys came to trust me 'n Mike over -- not that I'm holding my breath, but I gotta try.

The weapons' menacing looks, coupled with the public's confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.

To own high capacity clips or clips for guns with more than one bullet at a time must have advanced level bullet certificates for mental health and from police every two years. To own high caliber bullets or clips with more than a few bullets you would have to have training similar to an officer. Licensees would also have to keep records of their bullets like pharmacists do with narcotics. How many they have, who they give or sell them to, how they were used (target practice, etc). [More]

Bravo. Good piece. Nice to see the concept getting wider play.

Those on "our side" trying to appear "reasonable" for the media, and calling "I Will Not Comply" activists "extremists," need to understand that at the end of the day, when their lobbying and lawsuits have failed to provide redress, the new paradigm is kicking in.

Except, as observed before, civil disobedience is not really new. It's just that gun owners have long been conditioned to limiting themselves to signing on to form emails, voting for compromised candidates and opening their wallets. That's changing.

To those unsure of if massive noncompliance can result in real, fundamental, 180° political change, I have one word: Prohibition.

If the cast members engage in violence towards each other or break other rules, they may or may not be evicted under the show's policy, which is enforced by the producers. Security guards apparently live in the house behind the scenes as they jump into camera shot to break up the many violent altercations that break out on the series.

Gun used in San Francisco pier shooting confirmed to be stolen federal agent’s ... The unnamed federal agent reported the weapon stolen after someone broke into his personal vehicle and stole a bag with his service weapon inside... [More]

Why is he still unnamed?  Especially after reading:

The gun turned out to belong to a Bureau of Land Management officer who reported it stolen after leaving it in the front of his vehicle.

My original concerns stand:

It’s not like there’s no legitimate public interest in identifying the agent or ranger (depending on the story you read). Who is this person, what were the circumstances that led to a gun being left in his/her car and stolen, and are there any prior indicators in this individual’s employment record? Oversight seems especially relevant in an anti-gun town like San Francisco, where aside from a handful of connected elites, traveling around the “sanctuary” with a gun is the exclusive province of “Only Ones” ... Do you doubt, had a gun been stolen from your car and then used in a murder, that not only would your name be widely spread (and smeared by gleeful antis painting you as a typical, irresponsible ammosexual), but that you’d be lucky to escape serious criminal charges, and crippling civil ones as well?

The media, which has no interest in being a government watchdog on gun issues, is not going to do its job and find this out for us. That means if there's any chance, it's dependent on pressure coming from somewhere else -- like me and maybe you.

Christie’s Bullying Tirade Deflects from Having to Answer Tough Questions on Guns

Pointing out bills he did not support does not tell us what he does favor. Likewise, dismissing a 1995 campaign ad by asking if his questioner had not changed his mind in 20 years does not answer what Christie changed his mind to.

Why Does Country Need New Citizens Who Won’t Defend It?

Why is it in our interests to recognize citizenship for foreigners who will not “provide for the common defence”? The Constitution was written for us, so it seems fair to ask: What’s in it for us? What’s in it for our Posterity? [More]

Why is it in our interests to invite someone in to eat the bread who won't help make it?

Cloudy with a Chance of Tyranny

One top Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change official bluntly says climate policy is no longer about environmental protection; instead, the next climate summit will negotiate “the distribution of the world’s resources.” UN Climate Chief Christiana Figueres goes even further. UN bureaucrats, she says, are undertaking “probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the global economic development model.” [More]

What? You mean it's not about protecting Mother Gaia? It's about forced global redistribution and control of wealth and power?

Another State Backs Down After ‘I Will Not Comply’ Uproar

“[I]f you ignore the telephone blitz you are currently experiencing, it will be my honor and my pleasure to lead ‘I Will Not Comply’ armed civil disobedience actions numbering (at least) in the hundreds of participants at every Alabama Welcome Center in the state, as well as in front of your headquarters,” Vanderboegh told Cooper after outlining some of the actions he’s led defying edicts in other states. “So, I hope you save us the trouble and reverse this dangerous and deadly policy.” [More]

Defiant resolve works. More "moderate" gun advocates would do well to remember that before condemning the actively disobedient as "extremists." Pandering to the media in an attempt to appear "reasonable" won't keep the antis from sticking that label on them at the first opportunity.

I Hate to Say I Told You So

Trump is no friend to anyone but himself:

But he said the country should take a different approach with "the other ones" — i.e., undocumented immigrants who have "done a good job" since arriving in the U.S.

Yep-- besides, what's a little cultural terraforming and irreversible manipulation of the political landscape compared to The Donald's need for cheap labor to clean and maintain his properties? Besides, putting all the focus on the "bad" ones will lull anyone shallow enough to fall for this fraud's con into staying oblivious until awareness doesn't matter any more.

Good thing this will have no impact on that "single issue."

In other words, people with above-average resources, and social and economic advantages, have been absolutely useless in all the action to protect RKBA during their lifetimes that has brought us to this point where they can still buy a gun -- no thanks to them.

‘Just Give Them What They Want’ Advice Leaves Key Question Unanswered

“There’s a natural inclination to want to defend yourself, but if you can get through a situation like this and not do anything, and simply give these people what they want, and get the police out there as quickly as possible, that the way to handle it,” the Mesquite Police spokesman advises. “Let us handle it.” [More]
