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.

Most of the article--translation: Americans together on Motorcylcles.

I wonder what county jail those 170 were booked into and held.

Sorry but the transgressions towards southerners here by that poster overshadows any redeeming qualities

I have no clue as to your heritage aside from I suppose you reside in Texas

I’ll give you a hypothetical

“Texans should be ashamed of the Alamo and their state because they racially oppressed mostly Indian blood Mexicans declaring them second class citizens

And they killed off most of their native people’s
And youre all inbred racist hicks
And they seceded to preserve slavery and the expansion there of and you must condemn your ancestry for all thhat

That pretty much sums up or is analagous to the smears we southerners get from his bunch constantly

I don’t much care for anything that bunch has to say while flit about here attacking the most reliable conservatives the nation has..,..white southerners

If you share that view or care to align with them it’s your business but to find them high fiving over dead bikers who sport confederate flag patches sure as eff doesn’t shock me

I knew for sure that’s how it would fall

I’ve seen nothing yet to alter my suspicions

Where’s the videos?

If a Bandidos hit squad executed at close range then why’d they cops fire off a fusillade

This story changes over and over

And contrary witnesses including many non one percenters are locked on OC charges

Why is that so if only a few Bandidos killed all those guys

These people are all locked up to quiet them it appears

One question

Do you honestly think county coroner and county attorney would dare condemn all this law effort with autopsy reports that were damaging to cops version

I sure don’t

Defense attorney medical examiners will though

Like I said, I haven’t seen all. I just say yours soon after our conversation. As for as my heritage I have posted several times about it. Here is a link to one of the posts. It generated a some discussion but was ignored by your pals.

A press release was made about those arrested. It said that only those in the outlaw gangs and their supporters were arrested.

Easy to tell both. Just look at their colors.

““Texans should be ashamed “

My view?

Biker clubs should be ashamed that they have to pay tribute to the outlaw gangs inorder to ride.

Like I said I didn’t see the post but given that all the dead are gang bangers I wonder why you have such respect for them. As a southerner I loathe that they display the battle flag. You should too unless you are too deep in with them.

Still doesn’t explain why you’re trying to blame the Waco police for the shooting....especially since the eyewitness biker saying it was a Bandido ambush is a good old boy wearing a CBF patch over his heart.

I went back over mac_trucks postings for the last few days. I saw none of what you attribute to him. No wonder you gave me a ‘hypothetical’ ...

Did you see WD’s 283? He attributes some pretty vile stuff to you. I went back over your past days posts and didn’t see any of that.

What did you do to tick him off?

Here's an interesting announcement from the PGR regarding the Bandido dominated Texas CoC

PATRIOT GUARD RIDERS OF TEXAS ANNOUNCEMENTS
Updated Announcement From Our State Leadership
Updated 05/22/2015
Message from Texas State Captain

As we all know about the problem in Waco this last weekend we have been flooded with all kinds of information / miss-information.

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. This has been looked into at length. 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.

From the link:

“If it’s found out through the investigation, through due process that somebody did shoot somebody else then by all means, that’s a bad apple,” says Surette. “That person needs to be prosecuted. But to say that there was 170 bad apples in that one location at that one time, that’s just not true. There’s no way that could be true.”

If somebody did shoot somebody else ... LOL!

It was a gang war gone ballistic! They are out there protesting that a bunch of gang bangers got swept up.

Bikers should be protesting about having to pay tribute to the gangs.

Every good club should go public and denounce the gangs and form a ride through their territory to show they won’t be bullied anymore.

Hard to tell when they are all locked up

One report I saw said only less than a dozen released from jump street

“It seems to have been sent out by the Confederation of Clubs “

The Texas CoC is a front for the Banditos! Every club in the region pays CoC dues but the money goes into the Bandido pockets.

Oklahome: OUTLAWS

On and on. The 1%’ers own the road. The bike clubs have to pay to ride.

Of course I don’t have to name the leaders in California. However this nice tidbit from the SCAL CoC.

IOW, you don’t ride as a club till you are approved by the HA’s!

“You must be a recognized motorcycle club or riding association in good standing with the dominant club and other motorcycle clubs in your part of the state. Then you must attend 3 COC meetings before you can be voted for membership.”

Not so hard. I am sure their arrest rocord has their affiliation. Easily determined by the colors they were wearing at the time of arrest.
