Calling all skilled veterans and patriots! We need your help in Ferguson, Missouri.
Oath Keepers has a Security Team on the ground right now, in Ferguson, guarding businesses. That team is lead by local Oath Keepers, including retired Missouri police. last night, that team secured four local businesses after the riots erupted, and will do so again tonight, and as long as it takes, but they need your help! (See below for list of skills needed, and how to connect with the team).
Little Caesars Pizza on Fire in Ferguson Last Night. More Arson Expected
The Oath Keepers Ferguson Security Team needs more volunteers to assist them as they expect more looting and burning (they DO NOT trust Governor Nixon to safeguard these businesses. Twice now he has utterly failed to do so). It is expected that there will be even more arson attempts tonight, and on future nights, because the bad guys were so successful last night. If you have the skills to assist, and can make it, please go.
If you can’t make it, but want to help support this effort, you can do so here.
Because we suspected that Governor Nixon would drop the ball, we put a call-out among our membership early Monday morning, asking for volunteers, and got enough of a response to commit to protecting the property of four local small business owners (two Asian, one black, one white) in downtown Ferguson. Their shops are in the same strip mall. Those shop owners could not afford to hire security and several had tears in their eyes as they thanked our team for offering to help for free. They couldn’t believe someone would be so kind as to volunteer without pay, to protect them.
We are getting additional requests for help from other Ferguson business owners and if we have enough volunteers to guard additional businesses in the days ahead, we will.
St. Louis area Oath Keepers member Sam Andrews is helping to coordinate and vet the prospective volunteers. Sam has requested that if you qualify and are willing, please grab your gear and start rolling toward Ferguson, and call Sam while on your way. Time is of the essence, and he needs you there ASAP. Contact him here:
Sam Andrews 314-369-7850 tieroneweapons@att.net
If you call during darkness, keep in mind he may be a bit “busy” and unable to answer the phone. So, as a default, roll out and try him as you drive. We WILL have gas money to reimburse you, so save all gas receipts (you must have them to get reimbursed).
If you arrive in the area during darkness, DO NOT attempt to go to downtown Ferguson in any attempt to link up with the Security Team there. That is just too dangerous a thing to try to do in the middle of riots, in the dark. Instead, go to Sam’s shop, in nearby Eureka, Missouri, and wait till daylight. He will have someone there to liaison, interview, etc. and then he will bring you in once he has vetted you. Here is his shop address:
Tier One
223 Thresher Rd.
Eureka, Mo. 63025
Here are the skillsets/experience we are looking for on the Ferguson Oath Keepers Security Team:
1. Police Officers (preferably with 5 years or more experience) street cops or corrections.
2. Forward deployed assets, such as scouts, with binocular range finder and requisite equipment, and the right field experience.
3. Communications experts with HAM and/or FRS radios
4. Direct action infantry (11B or 0311). You need to have your own gear necessary for this mission, including your own body armor, tactical lights, and other essential tactical gear, and cold weather gear. etc. Personal Security Detail training and experience a plus.
5. Photographers/cameramen with video and still-camera, preferably with combat experience, or similar high stress field experience. Also, we prefer that they have their own body armor and cold weather gear. Photographers need to be able to film all activity outdoors in all weather. We want to film any encounters with looters, as potential evidence. We also need someone who can live-stream.
6. Private drone operators, with drone mounted cameras.
7. Truck drivers (4WD) (military experience preferred)
8. Medics and Paramedics with own gear. Both military medics and corpsmen, and civilian paramedics and EMTs, are needed.
9. Experienced Fire-Fighters.
Please be prepared to substantiate your qualifications. Keep in mind this is a dangerous situation and only those with the right mindset (cool under pressure, in control of themselves), skillsets, and experience should even think of going there. If you are not qualified, do not go.
All should bring a gas mask if at all possible. Also, all volunteers must bring their own IFAK (with tourniquet, combat gauze, pressure bandage, chest seals, etc). You should also bring a sleeping bag and a cot if you have one. We will provide the space to sleep in. Any questions on what to bring, call Sam and ask him.
Oath Keepers will help with logistics such as gas money, food, water, and other support. Please keep all gas receipts! We want this to be as well organized as possible, and will work hard to make it so.
If you cannot make it there in person, but want to donate to the Ferguson Security Team Fund, Go here:

This is a good chance for us to do something very positive, and by guarding businesses owned by black, Asian, and white owners, we show that when we say we stand up for the rights of all Americans, we mean it. We still fully support the rights of PEACEFUL protesters, but we also feel obligated to help protect the community from the violent looters, shooter, and burners, the provocateurs, and the racists who are trying to turn this into a race war. This is not about race. Not for us. It’s about rights. And it is critical that we not leave fellow Americans defenseless while politicians play their games and fail to do their duty.
For the Republic,
Stewart Rhodes
Founder and President of Oath Keepers
PS – we are desperately in need of cameramen/photographers.
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY WE ARE DOING THIS? THIS IS WHY:
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
The USA Constitution is the #1 legal document and the most important one in the country.
The Oath Keepers are simply are honoring the Constitution and are working hard to take America back.
The reality is that and I do predict this, that MO will go red or conservative as a state in any future governor election because of what has been happening in Ferguson.
Things are begining to ease up, snow is falling in Furguson:

Prayers up for their safety.
Somebody had to ask God for inclement weather to sooth the savage beast in Ferguson...
Exactly the opposite of what Gen. Patton asked for on his way to Bastogne...
To me this is a reminder, however subtle it is, that there is a greater force at work here...
BTW, any update on how this effort is coming together???
The Oathkeepers take all those things into consideration before they become a part of this group. They’re not about “comfort” but rather they are ready to make sacrifices for their country when all else fails.
As per your tag line; do you really think you will be allowed to attend a Bible believing church much longer if the current regime has anything to say about it? Not likely.
Except......they didn't. They didn't publish any guidance for those coming out of state. But don't you fret.....I already contacted them.
As for my tagline, which has nothing to do with this (hyperbole much?), all things are in the sovereign hands of the Lord Jesus Christ; so whatever He decides, I'm good with it.
100% AGREED!!!
I wish I was closer and/or had the $$$ to get there but I don’t.
This has gone on WAY TOO LONG AND WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE ONES THAT WILL HAVE TO FIX IT
Happy Thanksgiving!
If someone knows the founder, they should tell him not to reply and/or talk to the St. Louis Dispatch reporter because that guy is very biased and will paint a horrible picture of Oathkeepers.
Sweet. Love these guys.
Denial is never a good tactical strategy.
No, just stating the fact that it will not happen. No denial there.
You have no way of guaranteeing that it *will not* happen.
To say it is an unlikely scenario is one thing; to claim something will not happen is another.
To refuse to prepare for a situation is denying the probability that it could happen.
God Bless the Oath Keepers.
Keep them safe.
