False Flags, Biker Gangs, and the PATCON Legacy
Lew Rockwell .com ^ | 5/21/2015 | William Norman Grigg

Posted on 05/21/2015 5:37:51 AM PDT by Jack Black

The bloody incident at Waco’s Twin Peaks restaurant was not a “biker shootout.” At present there is no evidence that any of the nine victims were killed by fellow bikers, rather than being “taken out” by the scores of police — including snipers — who had effectively turned the parking lot into a kill zone.

The Twin Peaks Massacre has prompted the predictable outpouring of state-centered outrage over the purported threat posed by Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs (OMCs). Buried beneath the blizzard of re-purposed official press releases is a critical disclosure made by former FBI undercover operative John Matthews: During the 1990s, as part of the FBI’s PATCON (Patriot Conspiracy) operation, Matthews and his handler, Donald Jarrett, sold illegally converted full-auto machine guns to narcotics-dealing motorcycle gangs. (I first reported about this in early March.) This was done through one of the firearms stores later forced by the ATF into participating in the “Fast & Furious” gun-walking scandal, in which firearms of that kind were provided to operatives of Mexican criminal cartels.

“As we talk of gun control … over the years [of] how many cases of sporterized SKS, AK47s, and SKSs were sold to groups and case after case of ammo for them all with the blessings of the FBI & ATF with no paper work,” Matthews wrote in a November 8, 2014 email (lightly edited here for spelling and grammar). “Also let’s not forget the AR15s, they were made full auto from the Lone Wolf gun store back in the 90s by a guy brought in by the FBI for me to put in place. Those guns went to bikers who were sell[ing] drugs on the border. Those drugs were [believed] to be coming in from China.”

In March 2013 correspondence with Jarrett, Matthews referred to the David Mann, the dealer brought in by the FBI to broker the firearms transaction with the biker gang.

“I [would] pick him up in Payson, AZ on our way up to Surplus & Stuff in Snowflake … and met with a guy name[d] Tim,” Matthews recalled in a March 28, 2013 email to Jarrett. “He [would] show him his weapons that he was making and how he could make them anything they wanted. Then from there we took a trip up to where the guy [kept] the tractors that we were thinking the dope was coming in from.”

The tractors were apparently being used as part of an international narcotics smuggling operation.

During the trip recalled by Matthews, he and David Mann met with another individual who “ran the church and we [thought was] selling the drugs to the bikers. We were going to get David to sell weapons too [sic] them. This trip was where [I] got David in with this [sic] guys so I could move on. Does this sound right to you[?] Also have more info on him and [meetings] at gun store (Lone Wolf) and other places like Scottsdale, before we turn[ed] him loose.”

“Yes, that sounds absolutely correct about David,” Jarrett replied the following day. “I only introduced you to one guy that work[ed] with guns, and that was David.”

On March 2 I sent a letter to the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General requesting an investigation of Matthews’ confirmed claims about the FBI’s role in arming biker gangs. A week later I received an official reply that tacitly validated those claims while dismissing them as inconsequential: “The Investigations Division of the Office of the Inspector General has thoroughly reviewed your allegations and concluded that the issues raised do not warrant an investigation by this office.”

Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue, who has been investigating the death of his brother Kenneth in FBI custody following the 1995, following the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing, has been responsible for nearly all of the key disclosures regarding the PATCON program. This was an effort by the FBI to infiltrate so-called Radical Right groups with informants and provocateurs. In a telephone interview, Trentadue told me that he firmly believes that there is a connection between the PATCON-related FBI initiative to arm biker gangs, and the bloodshed in Waco over the weekend.

“At the very least, we’re dealing with part of the legacy of PATCON,” Trentadue declared.

PATCON wasn’t the FBI’s only means of infiltrating OMCs. In 2004, James “Pagan Ronnie” Howerton, a prominent member of the Pagans OMC and a convicted murderer, was recruited by the FBI. He eventually became the club’s sergeant-at-arms. Five years later, the Feds breathlessly announced that with the help of their undercover asset they had compiled a massive indictment against the Pagans as an interstate criminal conspiracy. That bloated indictment eventually deflated into a small number of relatively trivial charges against specific members of the club. The interstate “criminal enterprise” was reduced to the accusation that the Pagans had committed a federal offense by running a raffle.

The only notable violent crime arising from the federal investigation of the Pagans was the police murder of Iraq combat veteran Derek Hale, who was tasered a dozen times and then murdered, execution-style, by Lt. William Brown of the Wilmington, Delaware Police Department. Hale, who was killed in front of the wife and children of a friend from the club, had no criminal record, nor was he a criminal suspect. He died because the State’s officially licensed gang decided to wage an indiscriminate war on the motorcycle club to which he belonged — which, in all probability, is what happened in Waco over the weekend.

I offer this for your consideration. I'm not a huge fan of Lew Rockwell .com, on the other hand the story the MSM is telling us about Waco makes about as much sense as the last story they told about Waco.

Any more it’s getting to where reading the news has become an exercise in dissecting a narrative.

This posting is via WRSA:

“First they came for the bikers, but I wasn’t a biker. I hated bikers.”

ADDRESSING WACO

It was a well known fact by all bikers, citizens and yes, WACO police (which includes FEDS) that the COC [Confederation of CLubs] meeting would be held on Sunday. All of the above groups, 1%’s, MC’s and Biker Orgs attend these meetings. Again the COC is a way to let others know about upcoming legislation, events & rides as well as discuss Patch issues. (Patches are the symbols that each group wears on their leathers, letting others know what group they represent).

There are several “theories” floating around ~ Let’s get rid of the first one, it was NOT a fight over a parking space! Bikers rarely if ever fight over a freaking parking space! They don’t need to, they can fit 2-3 bikes per space!

The second we hear is that it started in the bathroom, that could be the case as per other reports there was an issue that occurred. However, the weekend before the planned COC meeting there was an issue that may have spilled over to the fight that occurred. BUT the fight broke our PRIOR to meeting time.

What we DO know is that the place was already surrounded by FEDS, WACO Police and ATF LONG before any biker showed up! WHY were they there? Literally HUNDREDS of biker meetings between the various 1%, MC’s and Org’s had met there in the past ….ALL peacefully! The PD states it was because of the dispute the previous week. HOWEVER, there was a fight that started inside Twin Peaks and made it’s way outside! Those fighting had KNIVES …NOT GUNS when they took the fight outside.

NO GUNS were shown as the fight made it outside from our understanding, but that is when the police started firing. WE DO NOT know if someone pulled out a gun from within the groups OR if the police were just too quick on their draw! Either way, ALMOST all shots fired came from police…not the ones fighting. ***again this is from we are getting from those there***

HERE IS OUR TAKE ON IT ALL:

WACO PD have not been very friendly towards bikers and the FEDS TOTALLY despise Bikers! Why? Because we are not afraid of them or their agenda! We are a threat to them! Remember folks we were able to organize in 24 days 800,000 -1.2 million bikers to DC! We did it WITHOUT their permission or support! They even SHUT DOWN the traffic cams…had the news NOT flown over the scene there would have been NO proof that we rode! Yes, folks, like it or not even 1%’s rode with us! They set aside their territories and rode peacefully! JUST like they do at ALL COC meetings!

Bikers stand up to them, to their Christian hate, their muslim agenda and whatever else they want to throw at us! BIKERS ARE PRESENTLY THE BACKBONE of PATRIOT AMERICA! WHAT BETTER WAY TO BRING THEM DOWN THAN WITH BAD PRESS SUCH AS THIS!

OUR question to WACO PD & FEDS ~

WHO’s bullets killed the 9 who died and those taken to the hospital?

Where is all the video from that surrounds the TWIN PEAKS and all the other businesses?

WHY have no charges been filed yet EACH of those in custody have a $1,000,000 bond?

WHY were those who had LEGAL carry permits arrested?

WHY are so many being held in jail that do not have records, were not part of the OMG’s they (PD) were targeting?

WHY are ALL BIKES of those in jail being confiscated via Civil Forfeiture? Civil forfeiture is supposed to occur if someone is found GUILTY of a crime while that “property” was in use or used to commit the crime!

WHY are bikers that had NO association with their targets being held on $1,000,000 bond? MANY are Christian Bikers and Veteran Bikers who committed no crime other than being on the scene?

Now as a whole this group does NOT condone police bashing, FED bashing YES….but WACO PD seems to be part of the FED agenda! So America, ask yourselves this…WHEN SHTF (and it will) WHO do you want on YOUR side? BIKERS OR FEDS? We KNOW where the FEDS stand and we KNOW how much they hate bikers!

LAST NOTE: There was NEVER EVER any threats made to WACO PD! That was TOTALLY made up!

I personally think this is something of a reach - that federal, state and local cops set up an ambush of anyone riding a bike at that location at that time.

But it's a sad comment on the state of affairs (trust issues) that many people would read this and nod their heads, thinking, "I can see that happening".

Occam's razor applies here, I think.

When the SHTF, the bikers ran to the bathroom to hide.

Good morning.

Very interesting.

Ballistics and video will help tell the real story.

A comment from a Free North Carolina reader:

The story has changed and it will continue to evolve as the needs of the state dictate.

We will likely never see ALL of the evidence and in fact may never see a lot of it, especially the forensic reports and the results of ballistic testing....which will probably show that it was indeed LEO, armed with rifles who accounted for most or all of the victims as the bikers may have had some guns on them but they would have been pistols, not rifles. Kind of hard to shoot someone with an AR and claim it was from a stolen 9mm. So we won't be seeing much of the physical evidence and forensic reporting. We will hear only what the state wants us to hear.

And thus WACO will have another 'massacre' of civilians by law enforcement added to it's regional history.

Must be a big men's room. There was almost 200 bikers there. My understanding through the biker grapevine is that many knew it was a cop ambush and just hit the floor. Also, apparently this started between the Cossacks and the Banditos. Many suspect the Cassocks are a front for the Feds.

I am sure if the bikers would have calmly eaten their dinners and walked out of the restaurant.

Shaking each others hands, slapping each other on the back, giving each other good bye hugs.

The police still would have mowed them down because the police were there just to kill bikers.

” Many suspect the Cassocks are a front for the Feds. ‘

Really?

Eight of the nine dead were Cossacks.

Former Bandidos leader Edward Winterhalder does not agree.

My understanding is that one Bandido was killed, along with 8 Cossacks. If the Cossacks were a front for the feds, then they got some 'splainin' to do.
