Leaked Report Profiles Military, Police Members of Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs
The Intercept ^ | 5/22/2015 | Jana Winter and Jordan Smith

Posted on 05/23/2015 5:30:48 PM PDT by PapaBear3625

Nuclear power plant technicians, senior military officers, FBI contractors and an employee of “a highly-secretive Department of Defense agency” with a Top Secret clearance. Those are just a few of the more than 100 people with sensitive military and government connections that law enforcement is tracking because they are linked to “outlaw motorcycle gangs.”

A year before the deadly Texas shootout that killed nine people on May 17, a lengthy report by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives detailed the involvement of U.S. military personnel and government employees in outlaw motorcycle gangs, or OMGs. A copy of the report was obtained by The Intercept.

The report lays out, in almost obsessive detail, the extent to which OMG members are represented in nearly every part of the military, and in federal and local government, from police and fire departments to state utility agencies. Specific examples from the report include dozens of Defense Department contractors with Secret or Top Secret clearances; multiple FBI contractors; radiological technicians with security clearances; U.S. Department of Homeland Security employees; Army, Navy and Air Force active-duty personnel, including from the special operations force community; and police officers.

Lol...I have no idea Gator.

Last time I recollect talking to wardaddy was to let him know one of his FRiends, BnBlFlag , had passed on and he thanked me for doing so.

Seemed pretty civil to me...

Interesting to see who the only candidate the TCoC is supporting:

Norma Chávez

Rep. Chávez filed legislation and led the historical initiative in the Texas House of Representatives, declaring the first Texas holiday honoring a Latino, for civil rights activist and labor leader César Chávez. She also honored Cesar Chávez by passing legislation that designated Loop 375 as the César Chávez Border Highway.

Here’s a laffer! From the West Florida CoC. (It is on their homepage but is a link to the Fl dept of corrections.

“Gangs in Florida

Every state and major city in the United States is plagued with local, loosely structured, street gangs that are mainly motivated by drug sales. Historically, disruptive incidents in our prisons have been based on the geographic origins of the inmates involved (e.g., Miami gang inmates vs. Tampa gang inmates).

These local groups form based on common interests and a sense of loyalty to individuals from their city, neighborhood, street, or housing complex. They adopt generic names such as Players, Posse, Crew, Mafia, Gang, and Bad Boys and attach their particular street or avenue name to it.

Although they are loosely structured and tend to conduct their illegal activities in a specific location, they are extremely violent and develop bitter blood rivalries.

Often the group evolves, and adopts an alliance with a national street gang such as the Bloods, Crips, or Chicago-based Folk Nation and People Nation sets and use their symbols and identifiers. This graduation in gang involvement often occurs in county jails, prisons, and juvenile facilities.

This increases the importance of tracking the development of gang membership while inmates are in custody. Tracking enables DC to notify local law enforcement of new members or of any changes in a member’s affiliation.

Hundreds of these local gangs have been identified in every city from Pensacola to the Florida Keys. This includes small rural towns, upper middle-class neighborhoods, schools, and other areas where we tend to deny gang existence.”

I have a feeling that your definition of “south basher” is anyone who’s kicked your butt in an argument or isn’t opposed to the 1964 Civil rights act, but go ahead and knock yourself out Poppi.

One of the most troubling one has been a message that an order came down from the FBI to all agencies to stop, search, and arrest anyone wearing a patch and riding a motorcycle if you have a weapon in your possession, regardless if you have a CHL or not.


We continue to slide down the slippery slope into fascism.

No...the slippery slope you're on is disinformation from the Bandido dominated Texas CoC.

Look at the next sentence.

It seems to have been sent out by the Confederation of Clubs and not any law enforcement agency - no agency has been directed to do so at any level.

On my way home from the PGR Mission I saw a buzzard on the side of the road attempting to eat a dead armadillo.

“opposed to the 1964 Civil rights act,”

Like Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan were?

You should avoid communicating with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

“How much payola do you get from Barack Obama?”

Oh, did I ever hit a sore spot! Payola to the Bandidos!

Or are you receiving the payola?

Horse, they are full of nonsense. Play one corrupt group against another, and enjoy the fallout.

Poxes dwell upon both their houses.

The point, macgatorade, is that documented misbehavior of once honorable authorities has made it quite easy to believe such allegations.
