Wikileaks’ Hacked Stratfor Emails Shed Light on Feds Using License Plate Readers (ATF & gun sho

Gun shows. The officials in the meeting suspect that a lot of guns that reach Mexico come from American gun shows. The Ambassador from Mexico is cited as believing that shows were the main source of firearms coming into his country. The ATF then says that investigating gun shows is “touchy.” Cross-referencing. Despite the sensitivity, the ATF hoped to be able to identify vehicles that visited gun shows and then crossed the border. The notes read, “[Mr. 192] noted that they would do the check once they came into Mexico. Mr. 009 stated part of the new ways that are being looked at is incorporating that type of information into license plate readers for local law enforcement. He added that DEA is going to provide more and more license plate readers especially southbound.” This last point squares with ACLU’s finding, which found a 2010 document that said the DEA had 41 readers set up in southern border states. ATF and the NRA. Apparently law enforcement checks in with the gun rights advocates. Mr. 123 is identified as an ATF employee in the hacked email. In a conversation about the federal government’s gun tracking system, eTrace, the notes attribute to him the following, “He added that they are in constant communication with Mr. Templeton who has the Cross Roads of the West Gun Show as well as NRA attorneys and that there had been no complaints on how things were moving.” Bob Templeton is shown as the President of the National Association of Arms Shows on this op-ed and runs the gun show mentioned, according to its site.

Leaked documents from Wikileaks reveal that the ATF is using license plate scanners at gun shows. Yet jihadis Tsedam2002@yahoo.com are allowed to waltz into the country.

According to a friend of a friend it’s now virtually impossible to get a warrant to monitor a mosque these days. Takes clearance at the highest levels.

But let’s stake out gun shows so we can get a list of hunters to go after just in case.

Moronic.

Correction: Intentionally evil.

Valdo Esposito is a hit man with a gambling problem. In need of cash, he contracts with erratic ATF Agent James Roberts for what turns out to be a gun running operation . . .

Getting a list of hunters and attempting to disarm them would
be like hunting Siberian tigers
at some point the tiger is hunting
YOU.

Gosh, what a brilliant plan: cross check license plates of visitors at gun shows with license plates of visitors to Mexico. How could anyone thwart such a great plan. With such smart fellers at the ATF, you would think they would have caught the “Fast and Furious” gun runners........Oh, wait..........

ATF and Calif DOJ go thru the big gun shows in NV also.
Back a few years they rode thru the PHX gun shows writing down by hand all Calif Lic plates. No doubt shows in Calif were also visited by Calif DOJ and others.These actions are part of the “foward tracing” programs.

President Trump’s first act should be a full pardon of Wikileak’s founder.

There is a targeting dilemma...

Those following illegal orders, or those giving illegal orders?

President Trump could pardon him for any supposed crimes against the US, but not the Swedish charge of rape. That charge is the reason he’s holding up in the Ecuador embassy.

Judge Napolitano predicted mass resignations of FBI agents if Hillary was not indicted. None did. And just from the info made public from the investigation, it is orders of magnitude beyond the pale. So, not only do we know this new Praetorian Guard is devoid of the virtues of fidelity, bravery and integrity, we also know that public enemy number one is the public. The hard-working, God-fearing, gun-owning, patriotic American public.

Law enforcement all across the nation are updating their states license plates with enhanced reflectivity, sharper edges on lettering, water marks, vision system tags just for this purpose. ALPR’s (Automatic License Plate Readers).

Everything is tied to your lic. plate now. DL, insurance, registration, CHL, criminal history, wants and warrants. When your lic. plate is scanned...your everything pops right up.

https://www.texasobserver.org/the-eyes-of-texas-cops-are-upon-you/

Law enforcement all across the nation are deploying ALPRs along roadways entering/exiting towns, on police vehicles, highway overpasses in an effort to track citizens.

NSA spying on citizens Internet/credit card/phone usage, militarized law enforcement, ALPRs, surveillance drones, GPS tracking devices placed on vehicles, Xray vans running along highways to see into tractor trailers/autos suspected of running drugs...or whatever they feel needs a gander.

Folks...welcome to the American Police State.
