THE SHAKING HAS BEGUN!

Dear Intercessors,

Things are moving so quickly and we are out of time! The spirit of Pharaoh has entered our land! We have found out that our little town of Hardin is the 'test town' for President Obama’s new law to privatize the police force of local communities. Last night, the city council voted to disband our sheriff’s department and to bring in a private security company to police the town.

Interestingly, earlier in the day, the mayor when asked in an interview about the privatization of our police department completely denied it and said that would not be done with out a council meeting. Then that evening, a council meeting was held in regards to that very thing. At the beginning of this month, our local prison signed an agreement with the American Police Force which is a subsidiary of a larger private security force that the U.S. used in the Iraq war and Hurricane Katrina.

Yesterday, a convoy of twelve 'blacked out' Mercedes Benz SUV’s were brought into town. They were already painted with Hardin’s colors and ‘Hardin Police Force’ was already painted on them! Hardin’s sheriff’s department will no longer be in operation after the month of October. During October, the Sheriff’s Department is to train this new security force in all the logistics of running the town of Hardin. If you go on the American Police Force site, you might notice that the logo they use is actually a Russian logo. I (Leilani) have been told that the man who came with this new security force as the captain, has a thick Russian accent.

Earlier this month, in an interview in regards to this Hardin prison and the training center that they are planning to build, we were told that seventy five percent of the security officers that were to be trained would be ‘international’.

This private security force is already patrolling the town. They had several people stopped yesterday. Also, it appears that they are building some type of heavy duty gate at the entrances of our town.

I n an interview, the American Police Force security has stated that they will stay here one month to assess the population and then they will make their permanent base here. They said they are scouting out thirty towns in the U.S. but that Hardin is the first. Also, President Obama has authorized and signed a bill for full government funding of the privatization of the police departments throughout the U.S. By the end of October, it is their plan to have all major cities locked down!

In an interview with one of the city council members, he stated that this new H1N1 shot which has not been tested will be mandatory and if a resident of our town refuses, they will be taken to our prison where they will be quarantined. A federal law has been passed that makes it mandatory that all health care workers have to take this new shot. If they do not, they will automatically loose their jobs.

The new federal law that is in place makes gives you four choices in regards to this new shot. One, you can voluntarily take it or you can refuse and be taken to a place to be quarantined, or as an alternative; if you refuse, you can have a chip placed in you to track you or a tracking bracelet which cannot be taken off. The state borders will be manned and locked down in the near future in regards to this mandatory shot.

I (Leilani) am also told by a reliable source that today one of the managers at a local business in Hardin was visited by this new private security force which is now the new Hardin Police Department. He is an avid hunter and they came to inform him that they had a list of all fire arms that he owned; this includes all the residents of our town, and that he would need to take his guns down to have them put a marking device on them.

Also, today, one of the main streets in Hardin was completely blocked off and they have been setting up information booths where they are passing out pamphlets with information on this new H1N1 shot.

Intercessors, I am not making up any of this information! You can go on the internet and verify most of this information from KULR 8, MSNBC or Fox news. Things have changed so quickly in the last 24 hours! Things are not and will never be the same. We are indeed going into the prophesied 'four years of captivity for America'. I (Leilani) believe we are about to enter into a time of persecution that the Church in America has never known! We must prepare! The good news is that this is also the time when the Glory of God will manifest itself in a way we have never known!

I heard this earlier today and the first thought that came to mind was, isn't the sheriff elected by the voters of that county?

At least here, the city council could no more disband the sheriff's department than they could fly.

APF Reveals Some Information

By Nick Lough & Katie Ussin
Story Published: Sep 28, 2009 at 7:53 PM MDT

(Story Updated: Sep 29, 2009 at 7:03 AM MDT )

BILLINGS - Confusion and secrecy about American Police Force has grown during the last few weeks. "APF has been here for 10 months but it has never been stealth," said APF spokesperson Becky Shay at a press conference on Saturday morning. The group announced its plans to fill the $27 million dollar detention facility and build a police training center next to the jail. While they gave details for the site, other questions went unanswered.

Where will the prisoners come from? What experience does APF have in prisoners and training police officers? Why was Two Rivers Authority Executive Director Greg Smith placed on administrative leave?

During the press conference APF also refused to release any information on its funding or organization "The decision is the name of the parent company will not be released," said Shay.

When questioned about the decision to show up in Hardin last week in vehicles with "Hardin Police" templates, members were brief in their explanation. "They are to show are intentions are good," said APF leader Captain Michael Hilton. "Why not put an APF logo on it," said Shay. "You know we're getting there." All of the decals were removed from the vehicles two days later.

APF has consistently stated the community has nothing to fear and says its plans will help stimulate the Hardin economy. "This corporation's intention is to buy local and stay local and do local business as much as we can," said Shay.

Residents appear split in their feelings over the company. Some want more information, but others believe it will be a tremendous boost to the area. The company plans to hold a job fair in Hardin the third week of October.

Another development this weekend was the naming of Shay as APF's new public relations director. Shay was a reporter with the Billings Gazette who had covered the detention facility story for last few years. She announced on Friday she was leaving the paper and hosted the APF press conference Saturday morning.

American Police Force spokesperson, Becky Shay, said the private police group would not house terror suspects from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Last April, the executive director of the Two Rivers Authority expressed interest in housing Gitmo detainees and the Hardin City Council approved efforts to bring them in.

President Obama ordered the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay to close by next January. White House officials are now saying they are most likely not going to meet that deadline. Reuters news outlet reports that an Obama administration official, who wished to remain anonymous, said that the White House is close to selecting a U.S. location for some of the Gitmo detainees to be transferred once the facility closes.

They said possible locations in Michigan and Kansas are no longer being considered, but would not say what sites are in the running. In May, the U.S. Senate voted 90-to-6 to deny the $80-million dollars needed to fund the closure of the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay.

Mont. jail contract worth $2.6M a year

By MATTHEW BROWN Associated Press Writer Posted: 09/18/2009 03:40:15 PM PDT Updated: 09/18/2009 05:43:18 PM PDT

BILLINGS, Mont.—An obscure California security company was planning a jobs fair next week as it prepared to pay $2.6 million annually to take over a rural Montana jail that the company plans to expand into a military and police training center. Some of those activities could involve training military and police from overseas—including Afghanistan—to run detention centers and provide security in their home countries, said company representatives and an official in Hardin, the city that built the $27 million jail.

Skepticism lingered because of a refusal by the company, Santa Ana, Calif.-based American Police Force, to say where it would get $30 million it says it will invest in the project.

It's also unclear where the prisoners and trainees would come from. Federal and state officials have said they were unaware of any government agencies planning to use the jail or training center.

American Police Force said it intends to have prisoners in Hardin's Two River Detention Center by early next year. An attorney for the company, Maziar Mafi, said Friday that a jobs fair for the jail is planned next week.

Final details still were being worked out, Mafi said.

The jail has sat empty for two years after being built to boost the economy of Hardin, a depressed city of about 3,500 in remote southeastern Montana.

Seeking to answer criticism of the city's 10-year agreement with American Police Force, a Hardin official on Friday offered a few more details about the contract—even as he continued to refuse to release the document. Albert Peterson, vice president of the city's Two Rivers Authority, which built the jail, said the deal calls for American Police Force to pay about $220,000 a month for the jail. The authority would get an additional $5 per prisoner per day and $10 per day for law enforcement and military trainees.

Peterson said he would not release the contract until a revised version is signed. He said that could happen next week.

"It may be a public document but I'm not releasing it before Monday unless I have a court order to do that," Peterson said.

He also said he would "come clean" on American Police Force's parent entity, which the company has so far refused to identify.

The jail's most vocal promoter, Greg Smith, executive director of the Two Rivers Authority, was placed on paid leave this week. City officials have refused to say why but insist it was unrelated to his work bringing American Police Force to Hardin.

Meanwhile, no contracts for prisoners or trainees are in place. And little is known about American Police Force except that it was formed in March and appears to be largely unknown within security industry circles.

Peterson said that under the terms of the agreement, the company was likely to lose money on the jail but expected to make it up with its training operations.

"The detention center is not the main thing here. It's really the training center," he said. "They'll be using those trainees as guards (at the jail) and everything else."

American Police Force claims extensive government security contracts but there is no public record that such agreements exist.

Company officials have said the entity is a spin-off of a large Washington, D.C.-based security firm with international operations.

American Police Force has been linked to other security companies, including Allied Defense Products and Defense Product Solutions. But their exact relationship remains unclear.

The California company said it applied to the Montana Secretary of State this week to incorporate the local subsidiary that would run the jail. Agency spokeswoman Terri Knapp said that had not happened as of late Friday, but added that the paperwork on the application still could be working its way through the system.

The $27 million in bonds used to build the jail went into default last year. Peterson said the 10-year contract would not fully repay that debt, but that the bonds would be covered if the California company exercises its option for an additional 10 years.

Redneck vs. cop: Redneck. Cop vs. n-word: Cop. n-word vs. white guilter: n-word. Being a lawyer knocks you down a peg, so redneck lawyer vs. cop and n-word lawyer vs. white guilter are toss-ups. White guilter lawyers are the lowest form of life.

Interesting. If true, and it would seem to be so, this implies several things:

1. The elites running the show have concluded that they cannot do an all at once takeover and conversion of the U.S. to a Total Police State.

2. That Local Law Enforcement, particularly Sheriffs, will, when push comes to shove, side with their community and not the central authority.

3. That they are training for, and practicing for, the total lockdown of any given community. This would appear to be a field test for their template of how to do it.

4. A remote small town, and Hardin is small compared to any major urban center, isolated from any large city influence, including the bustling Metropolis of Billings (pop. about 150,000), gives them a laboratory in isolation in which to experiment and refine their template. This much like using an small group of "test animals". Then you can expand to take over one of the more intractable States - Montana.

5. The refusal to name the parent company or funding source is interesting as well. Blackwater-Xe/CIA? This has Psychiatrist written all over it.

6. The intent to construct and take over existing detention facilities is very suggestive of something similar to the "Siberia USA" Bill that passed the the whoreHouse of Representatives in the mid 50's but which was, thankfully, stopped in the Senate when the public started becoming aware of it. At that time they were going to use Alaska, but Montana provides easier logistics and vast uninhabited stretches of cold, cold, prairie. A perfect place to set up "Work Camps" and a Gulag Archipelago.

The people of Hardin better get their collective heads out of their ass and get their Sheriff busy - while recalling every politician who voted for this.

Max Baucus is the devil. Montana is ground zero for the Anti-Christ's start.

The only thing that should be done, is for every patriot to invade that town and send that privatized para-military police force packing.

We are seeing the end of the United States, and it was all done over the last 30 years by the greatest traitors who ever walked the earth, and now America is dead.

Montana, the great state where people could be free has fallen, because of the two traitors they elected. Baucus and Tester.

If you privatize the police, guess what you pave the way for?

You pave the way for more crime, and not just any crime, but staged crime. Especially, if there is more than one privatized police force in a given city. All it would take is for the company who owns one police force to send goons to another part of the town to create more crime, and dissatisfaction with the other private police force, and pretty soon, you would see the police and criminal elements working hand in hand in order to bilk the taxpayers out of more and more money because you need more and more police to deal with the escalating crime.

Let's not forget about the privatized prison system as well, because we'll need places to put the criminals when they're eventually caught.

The only thing that should be done, is for every patriot to arm themselves and drive these people out of the state of Montana that sends the message to their so called elected leaders that the Constitution is not dead, and the will of the people is more important than creating a country filled to the brim with prisoners.

I guess the only option for them is to fire the city counsel and start over. You would think the people would have something to say about it.

American Police Force - Mysterious US Security Force Raises Questions

Quote:

Officials with the Two Rivers Authority in Hardin say that plans with the American Police Force to use the new Hardin Detention Facility are moving full speed ahead.

The keys to the facility could be turned over to the California company soon, and although the contract has not yet been finalized, Two Rivers officials say APF employees are in town this week.

Two Rivers Authority officials told Montana's News Station that a few APF staff members arrived in Hardin Wednesday night after driving from southern California. Officials say they began work on Thursday, but we didn't see or hear back from any employees of APF.

Two Rivers spokesman Al Peterson says contract negotiations are still being worked out since APF will have to repay bond holders and then the Two Rivers Authority. He says Two Rivers will be getting about $5 per day, per prisoner, and are still working out additional details.

Peterson says both groups are gearing up to get the Hardin facility ready. Thursday, technical crews installed additional security cameras around the building.APF and Two Rivers will check inventory and in the next two weeks plan to host a job fair.

They plan on hiring a couple hundred people to operate the facility. So far 900 people have applied on the APF Web site.

"I'm ecstatic it is going to happen. There's not a question in my mind and it's certainly a lot better than the alternative. The alternative would be that if the bondholders were to foreclose, TRA (Two Rivers Authority) would lose ownership of the facility and the city of Hardin and the TRA would have then absolutely no control over who bought the building, or what could come in," Al Peterson said.

He says time will tell how many prisoners will fill the facility. But he did hint that APF's major use will be the training facility, contracting with companies across the world and a small percentage of U.S. companies. Over the next couple of weeks, they will announce who will be running the facility and Peterson says people will be shocked.

The preliminary agreement means APF will take over the Two Rivers Detention Facility and will build a 104,000 square foot training center, complete with a state of the art $17 million forensics lab. APF's contract expires in September 2019, with a possible renewal.

www.examiner.com/x-14795-...d29-American-Police-Force

This story about American Police Force is shaping up to be a quite wonderful little scandal. It's perhaps a little early to offer a definitive statement of the facts so I'll constrain myself to reasonable interpretations and point out that this is very much personal supposition, opinion, not a definitive statement of facts.

But I would start by saying that American Police Force and their contract to run the empty jail in Hardin, Montana, well, it looks like a group of small time entrepreneurs (not that there's anything wrong with being a small time entrepreneur, I am one myself) who have bitten off rather more than they can chew.

Let's start with the complaints over at Prison Planet:

A private security force whose biggest role is helping the U.S. government to “combat terrorism” is now patrolling the streets of a town in Montana, acting as law enforcement but accountable to nobody and operating completely outside the limitations of the U.S. constitution in a chilling throwback to the brownshirts of Nazi Germany.

No, this isn't the second coming of the Nazis, no it isn't black helicopters from the UN or anything like that. It's something much more prosaic and amusing than that. From Billings, Montana, here's a reasonable over view of what the American Police Force story is:

BILLINGS - The jail in Hardin has been empty for about two years, but on September 4th officials with the Two Rivers Authority, the economic development agency that paid for the facility, signed a contract with a private police firm called American Police Force to fill the jail.

"I think it's a great situation," said Al Peterson the Vice President of Two Rivers Authority. "I have found these people to be wonderful community partners."

The company's website states the U.S. government is their biggest client, but an Associated Press search of two comprehensive federal government contractor databases turned up no record of American Police Force.

So what did AP find out about American Police Force?

The Associated Press has raised questions about the legitimacy of American Police Force. Government contract databases show no record of the company, and security industry representatives and federal officials said they have never heard of it. However, representatives of security trade groups said added secrecy was prevalent in the industry and it was possible the company had avoided the public limelight.

The company's Web site lists as its East Coast headquarters a building in Washington near the White House that holds "virtual offices." A spokeswoman for the building said American Police Force's application to use the address is pending, but incomplete.

OK, so it's either a shell company, a brand new one of a recently incorporated subsidiary of another one. There's more from AP as well:

The lead public figure for American Police Force, Michael Hilton, said more than 200 employees would be sought for the jail and a proposed military and law enforcement training center.

That would be a significant boost to Hardin, a struggling town of 3,500 located about 45 miles east of Billings. An earlier announcement that a job fair would be held during the last week never came to fruition.

Hilton also said he planned a helicopter tour of the region in coming days to look at real estate for a planned tactical military training ground. He said 5,000 to 10,000 acres were needed to complement the training center, a $17 million project.

Ah, now, this is all becoming depressingly familiar. I cannot of course prove anything here, but this has that smell of cow manure (the male kind, you know) that surrounds so many grand plans put forward by small businesses and would be owners of large businesses. Forgive me if I don't detail all of my experiences right here but I've seen this kind of grandeur in the UK, Russia and the US: it's more common than many would normally think.

Mike Young picks up on some interesting details:

In April 2009, Two Rivers Authority and the Hardin City Council started looking into housing enemy combatants currently detained in Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo), Cuba. A few weeks later (May 15th), a business called the American Police Force (”APF”) registers the domain name AmericanPoliceGroup.com. The next thing you know, APF is trying to contract to build a $27 million private jail and police training center.

(Note that that website appears to be down.)

However, there's another company registered with similar addresses, on the same server, with personnel in common. The excellent Kevin Flaherty has been looking around at documents. Have a look at that first link for that's what I think pretty much explains it all. There's also this, which is a list of contracts performed by what I assume is a related company.

We need add only one more point: I have been on the periphery of this sort of business for the past 18 years: no, not myself supplying the US Government or law enforcement agencies but several business associates have been. Everything from American police cars to the Russian police forces of cities in Siberia to supplying Soviet era (and later) tanks to the US Army. This isn't my area of expertise, but it is something I know about.

That list of contracts is indicative of what they've been doing. The US military is fighting two wars at present and the entire logistics train is very stretched. So there are a lot of contracts, small stuff, which gets hired out to just about anybody willing to do the work. If you actually run the numbers, around $30 million of contracts since 2004 is $5 million a year or so of total sales. There's competition for this sort of work so gross margins on sales (they're providing goods here, don't forget, not just their labor) tend to be in the 20% range.

So we're talking about a company here with maybe $1 million a year to spend on salaries, profits, overheads and so on. Nice work if you can get it but it's not by any means instant riches: there will be a lot more than just one person eating out of that sum.

So what do I think is happening here with American Police Force? I emphasize again that this is opinion, a piecing together of inherent knowledge and publicly available facts, not proof perfect that this indeed what is happening.

We've a small time operator feeding on the scraps and tail end of the Pentagon's logistics chain: the sort of contracts they've been doing look remarkably similar to what one associate of mine was doing a decade ago. There are myriads of these companies out there at the moment, all scrapping to get these small contracts.

They saw that Hardin, Montana, had built this jail but had no prisoners to put into it. The bonds issued to pay for the jail are in default. So, how hard could it be to construct a story that would fly with the Town Manager?

"Yes, yes, we'll sort it all out for you. We've great experience. Don't worry, just sign the contract."

In the tradition of so many of these small companies, it's all about getting the contract first. Worry about how to perform, how to complete the contract, once it's all been signed.

I doubt very much indeed if this bodes well for the filling up of that empty prison with paying convicts.

The one person I might actually feel sorry for is the local newspaper reporter who quit her job to become the press liaison officer for American Police Force on $60,000 a year. I doubt those checks are going to be coming in for all that long darling: you might want to make sure you're still on good terms with your ex-editor.

Yesterday, a convoy of twelve 'blacked out' Mercedes Benz SUV’s were brought into town. They were already painted with Hardin’s colors and ‘Hardin Police Force’ was already painted on them! Hardin’s sheriff’s department will no longer be in operation after the month of October. During October, the Sheriff’s Department is to train this new security force in all the logistics of running the town of Hardin. If you go on the American Police Force site, you might notice that the logo they use is actually a Russian logo. I have been told that the man who came with this new security force as the captain, has a thick Russian accent.

Earlier this month, in an interview in regards to this Hardin prison and the training center that they are planning to build, we were told that seventy five percent of the security officers that were to be trained would be ‘international’.

This private security force is already patrolling the town. They had several people stopped yesterday. Also, it appears that they are building some type of heavy duty gate at the entrances of our town.

In an interview, the American Police Force security has stated that they will stay here one month to assess the population and then they will make their permanent base here. They said they are scouting out thirty towns in the U.S. but that Hardin is the first. Also, President Obama has authorized and signed a bill for full government funding of the privatization of the police departments throughout the U.S. By the end of October, it is their plan to have all major cities locked down!

What Is American Police Force? September 14th, 2009

defenseproductsolutions.com is hosted on the same IP (97.74.186.121) as americanpolicegroup.com. Both sites feature the same logo. Click on the Catalog link on defenseproductsolutions.com and say ‘hello’ to Edward Angelino.

Other business names associated with him: Allied Defense Systems, Inc. (allieddefensesystems.com) and Defense Consulting Group, Inc. There are almost certainly many more. I only spent ten minutes on this.

I looked through a couple of the sites that use the same template and noticed this:

allieddefensesystems.com/aboutus.htm:

Founded in 1990, ADS and its veteran team have serviced a variety of contracts under extreme conditions in the Middle East. Our projects have ranged from base camp construction operations to supplying world-class military vehicles. In the midst of international tensions, ADS will perform.

defenseproductsolutions.com/aboutus.htm:

Founded in 2004, DPS and its veteran team have serviced a variety of contracts under extreme conditions in the Middle East. Our projects have ranged from base camp construction operations to supplying world-class military vehicles. In the midst of international tensions, DPS will perform.

HAHA.

Searching eangelino@aol.com will bring up more links for anyone who’s interested in unraveling these antics. Oh yeah! Do you have a, “2002 Lamborghini Murcielago tail winng or spoliler”[sic]? You might have a buyer. Guess who? Yep, that’s right.

There are many addresses, phone and fax numbers associated with all of this. I’m not sure why the Associated Press and others haven’t made these connections, but it’s all available on Google.

Via: AP:

The Two Rivers Detention Center was promoted as the largest economic development project in decades in the small town of Hardin when the jail was built two years ago. But it has been vacant ever since.

City officials have searched from Vermont to Alaska for inmate contracts to fill the jail, only to be turned down at every turn and see the bonds that financed its construction fall into default. They even floated the idea of housing prisoners from Guantanamo Bay at the jail.

So when Hardin officials announced this week that they had signed a deal with a California company to fill the empty jail, it was naturally a cause for celebration. Town officials talked about throwing a party to mark the occasion, their dreams of economic salvation a step closer to being realized.

But questions are emerging over the legitimacy of the company, American Police Force.

Government contract databases show no record of the company. Security industry representatives and federal officials said they had never heard of it. On its Web site, the company lists as its headquarters a building in Washington near the White House that holds “virtual offices.” A spokeswoman for the building said American Police Force never completed its application to use the address.

And it’s unclear where the company will get the inmates for the jail. Montana says it’s not sending inmates to the jail, and neither are federal officials in the state.

An attorney for American Police Force, Maziar Mafi, describes the Santa Ana, Calif., company as a fledgling spin-off of a major security firm founded in 1984. But Mafi declined to name the parent firm or provide details on how the company will finance its jail operations.

“It will gradually be more clear as things go along,” said Mafi, a personal injury and medical malpractice lawyer in Santa Ana who was only hired by American Police Force a month ago. “The nature of this entity is private security and for security purposes, as well as for the interest of their clientele, that’s why they prefer not to be upfront.”

On its elaborate Web site and in interviews with company representatives, American Police Force claims to sell assault rifles and other weapons in Afghanistan on behalf of the U.S. military while providing security, investigative work and other services to clients “in all 50 states and most countries.”

The company also boasts to have “rapid response units awaiting our orders worldwide” and that it can field a battalion-sized team of special forces soldiers “within 72 hours.”

Representatives of American Police Force said the company presently employs at least 16 and as many as 28 people in the United States and 1,600 contractors worldwide.

“APF plays a critical role in helping the U.S. government meet vital homeland security and national defense needs,” the company says on its Web site. “Within the last 5 years the United States has been far and away our” number 1 client.

However, an Associated Press search of two comprehensive federal government contractor databases turned up no record of American Police Force.

Representatives of security trade groups said they had never heard of American Police Force, although they added secrecy was prevalent in the industry and it was possible the company had avoided the public limelight.

“They’re really invisible,” said Alan Chvotkin, executive vice president and counsel for the Professional Services Council. The group’s members include major security contractors Triple Canopy, DynCorp and Xe Services, formerly known as Blackwater Worldwide.

“Even a single unclassified contract in the last couple of years should show up” in the federal database, Chvotkin added.

Spokesmen for the State Department and Defense Department said they could not immediately find any records of contracts with the company. The city has not released a copy of its agreement with American Police Force. But the deal as announced would be a sweet one for Hardin, a depressed rural town of 3,500 about 45 miles east of Billings.

The company is pledging to fill the 464-bed facility by early next year.

Hardin officials say the first payment on the contract is due Feb. 1 — regardless of whether any prisoners are in place. The city’s economic development authority would get enough money to pay off the bondholders and receive $5 per prison a day.

American Police Force also is promising to invest $30 million in new projects for the city, including a military and law enforcement training center with a 250-bed dormitory and an expansion of the jail to 2,000 beds. The company says it will build a homeless shelter, offer free health care for city residents and even deliver meals to the needy.

Where the prisoners would come from is unclear. City officials said California was the most likely possibility, but a spokesman for that state’s corrections system said there was no truth to the claim.

Federal prisoners also were mentioned by both American Police Force and the city. U.S. Marshal Dwight MacKay in Billings said he would have been notified if such a plan was pending.

“There’s skepticism over whether this is a real thing,” MacKay said.

Hardin officials said they were approached by American Police Force about six months ago, soon after the city made international news in its quest to become “America’s Gitmo.” American Police Force incorporated around the same time.

Albert Peterson, the city’s school superintendent and vice president of the authority that built the jail, said the city was “guaranteed” the contract would be upheld.

“There’s never a question in my mind after I’ve done my homework. It’s legit,” Peterson said of American Police Force. “We believe in each other.”

The contract was still being reviewed by the city attorney, he said.

Peterson refused to answer when asked if he knew the name of American Police Force’s parent firm. He said news coverage of the city’s political tussles with the administration of Gov. Brian Schweitzer had left him suspicious of the press. The administration brought a court challenge over whether Hardin could take out-of-state inmates at the jail.

“If you’re looking for the source of the money, you’re not going to find it from me,” Peterson said.

A member of the Texas consortium that developed the jail, Mike Harling, said he had “every reason to believe they’ll be successful.”

Mafi, the American Police Force attorney, said his company intends to reverse Hardin’s recent problems with the jail and give the town an economic boost.

In Santa Ana, American Police Force occupies a single suite on the second floor of a two-story office building. During a visit to the location Thursday, a reporter for The Associated Press encountered a uniformed man behind a desk who would identify himself only as “Captain Michael.”

The man declined to discuss basic details about the company and referred the reporter to the company’s Web site. In a subsequent phone interview, he provided his surname but insisted it not be used because of security concerns. The man said he was a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Montenegro with decades of experience in military and law enforcement operations.

The man said his boss is a retired U.S. Army colonel named Richard Culver who is currently overseas. Culver’s role with the company could not be immediately verified.

The company claim of a headquarters address is just up the street from the White House.

The K Street building houses “virtual offices,” where clients pay to use the prestigious Pennsylvania Avenue address and gain access to onsite conference rooms but have no permanent presence.

“It lets small businesses get started up and have a professional front and not have a lot of a cash to do it,” said Ashley Korner with Preferred Offices, which leases the location.

She said American Police Force’s application to use the address was pending, but incomplete.

American Police Force: Web Sites Offer Hints About Jail Company

September 21st, 2009

The Billings Gazette has published new information about American Police Force. The author, Ruffin Prevost, contacted me after seeing my post on the matter.

I have to clarify something. It’s not that big of a deal, but I feel as though it’s worth getting right. Here’s the full text of the email that I sent to Ruffin Prevost, after he asked me some questions over email:

Hello Ruffin,

One of my core assumptions is that fraud is a primary component of the “Global War on Terror.” (Recently renamed: “Overseas Contingency Operation.”) As such, I routinely follow stories about mercenaries (private military contractors).

With regard to “American Police Force,” I smelled a rat immediately upon reading that AP piece cited in my post. That story read like something out of The Onion:

“American Police Force also is promising to invest $30 million in new projects for the city, including a military and law enforcement training center with a 250-bed dormitory and an expansion of the jail to 2,000 beds. The company says it will build a homeless shelter, offer free health care for city residents and even deliver meals to the needy.”

I just thought that I’d take a quick look around to see if there was anything unusual with the whois information, the host, other sites hosted on the same machine, etc. It turned out that a there was a lot of weirdness to chase down.

Kevin Flaherty

Now, here’s what Ruffin Prevost wrote in his article (full text below):

Flaherty, owner of the Cryptogon blog, said that plans by APF to provide Hardin with a homeless shelter, computers for schools, free meals for the needy and an animal shelter “read like something out of The Onion,” a satirical newspaper.

While it’s possible that computers for schools and an animal shelter are part of American Police Force’s alleged plans, I didn’t mention those specific projects.

Anyway, this is interesting and raises many more questions about what is actually going on.

Via: The Billings Gazette:

Web sites offer hints about jail company

By RUFFIN PREVOST Gazette Wyoming Bureau | Posted: Friday, September 18, 2009 11:05 pm

Public records available from state and federal courts and from Web site registrations have raised new questions about a company contracted to operate a detention facility in Hardin, as well as a potential supplier of police equipment to the venture.

Local officials have released almost no details on American Police Force, and company representatives have been tight-lipped, leaving everyone from Hardin residents to a New Zealand blogger turning to the Internet for answers.

Separate research efforts by The Billings Gazette and others turned up connections and similarities between the APF Web site and sites for other little-known defense procurement companies.

All of the Web sites share similarities in design, and some include exactly the same phrases, a red flag to Kevin Flaherty, an American blogger living in New Zealand who writes about private military contractors.

Flaherty, owner of the Cryptogon blog, said that plans by APF to provide Hardin with a homeless shelter, computers for schools, free meals for the needy and an animal shelter “read like something out of The Onion,” a satirical newspaper.

Flaherty said his online research revealed “a lot of weirdness to chase down.”

Public records show that the APF Web site, Americanpolicegroup.com, was first registered on May 15, about two weeks after an effort by the Two Rivers Authority to pursue prisoners from Guantanamo Bay made national headlines.

A section of text on the APF site refers to the company’s “U.S. Training Center,” and matches word for word text from the Web site for Xe, formerly Blackwater. That company’s U.S. Training Center is touted as the largest facility of its kind.

APF representatives have said that their company is a subsidiary of an undisclosed parent corporation founded in 1984. Blackwater was started in 1997.

Public Internet records show that the APF Web site is one of six hosted on a single Web server, including a site for Defense Product Solutions.

Both share the same double-eagle logo, and the same company, Purepoint Design, developed both Web sites. No one answered a call to Purepoint’s office in Newport Beach, Calif.

A section of text on the Defense Product Solutions Web site matches word for word text found on Web sites for Allied Defense Systems and Defense Logistic Services, all promising a similarly exhaustive range of military products and services.

Public records for those companies and others with similar Web sites – including Defense Contracting and Consulting, and Worldwide Military Exchange – all show connections to Edward Angelino, a government contractor in Huntington Beach, Calif.

Angelino said that he is not an owner of APF and has had not met with anyone from Hardin, but added that he has been in discussions with APF over the past four months about supplying police and prison gear for use at the Hardin facility.

“Our role is simply, if we land a contract, to provide some supplies to the guards themselves and what they need,” he said, adding that there is “nothing concrete, nothing in writing” with APF.

According to documents filed in connection with a civil lawsuit in Superior Court of California in Orange County, Angelino graduated from Al-Roda High School in Kuwait City, Kuwait, and is a U.S. citizen.

Sometimes referred to in court documents by the first name “Emad,” Angelino lists on his resume degrees in electrical engineering from California State University, Fresno and engineering management from the U.S. Air Force Academy.

Public government procurement records show that he has serviced tens of millions of dollars in federal contracts, supplying items as varied as sporting goods, turbine parts and police gear.

Angelino said APF is a separate entity, and that the only company he operates, Allied Defense Systems, has been in business since 2005.

He said that he had “no idea” why there are similarities between Web sites for his company and APF.

Angelino is named in state and federal civil lawsuits dating back to 2004, including one dispute stemming from a $17 million contract to provide police gear to U.S. troops and Iraqi police.

Owners of a business that employed Angelino got a temporary restraining order, and later an injunction, barring him from acting on behalf of the company, said Ira Rivin, an Orange County attorney for the plaintiffs.

“Our claim was that Mr. Angelino was attempting to take over the company for himself,” Rivin said, adding that the case was settled on the day it was scheduled to go to trial. He did not disclose details of the settlement.

Angelino also was named in a federal civil suit in Kentucky filed by U.S. Cavalry, the distributor of police equipment in that same contract. Company executives declined to comment specifically on that case, which also was settled.

The complaint alleges that the company Angelino had managed failed to honor the terms of a joint venture with U.S. Cavalry, resulting in additional costs and logistical complications.

In answers to both complaints, Angelino states that he was attempting to work with U.S. Cavalry to ensure compliance with an existing contract after his employers failed to follow through on promises to finance the deal.

U.S. Cavalry, a supplier for 35 years of uniforms and other gear for military and law enforcement, was able to successfully complete the contract, said Dennis Garvey, the company’s chief operating officer.

Garvey said that a lack of oversight by overwhelmed federal supply-chain workers has created a gold rush to fulfill contracts for homeland security and in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Since 9/11, many small companies “became very proficient in tracking out contract opportunities and worrying later about how they were going to fulfill them,” Garvey said, adding that many other small contractors are competent and reputable.

“But a lot of small companies, if they run into trouble and get caught not playing by the rules, can close down and open up under another name next week,” he said.

“There’s a lot of people attracted by all the money being spent, and the normal due diligence done on some contracts is often not as tightly controlled as you would expect,” he said.

The Montana Town That Wanted to Be Gitmo

By Pat Dawson / Hardin Sunday, May. 03, 2009

www.time.com/time/nation/...le/0,8599,1894373,00.html

Two Rivers Detention Center

The coils of razor wire glint in the prairie sun like silver tumbleweeds piled against the tall chain-link perimeter fences of the forlorn Two Rivers Detention Facility in Hardin, Montana. Two years ago, the town (pop. 3,600) celebrated the completion of the state-of-the-art private jail capable of holding 464 inmates. Convinced that it would provide steady employment for over 100 locals, as well as accompanying economic benefits, the residents financed it through the sale of revenue bonds and turned it over to a for-profit prison-management corporation. On a 40-acre field at the edge of town where pronghorn antelope once grazed, they built it. But nobody came.

Hardin tried to recover. It sued the state for supposed mixed messages of encouragement — even though Montana prohibits the incarceration of prisoners convicted out of state. But though Hardin won the case, Two Rivers stayed empty and the $27 million of bonds went into default a year ago.(See one man’s struggle to adjust to life outside of prison.)

And then, a new source of hope appeared. A campaign pledge from President Barack Obama to close the U.S. facility holding suspected terrorists at the naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, became an executive order. Quickly, the jail’s backers made a new pitch. Why not house those 240 detainees at Two Rivers? Hardin’s City Council last week passed a resolution to entice the detainees their way, saying they could provide “a safe and secure environment, pending trial and/or deportation.” Hardin naturally assumed their federal politicians would lobby their cause. (See behind-the- scenes pictures of President Obama’s first 100 days in office.)

Well, once again, Hardin’s heart was broken. Reaction from Montana’s three-man Congressional delegation was swift and unanimous, but hardly supportive. “I understand the need to create jobs, but we’re not going to bring al-Qaeda to Big Sky Country — no way, not on my watch,” said Sen. Max Baucus, a Democrat. (See pictures from inside the Guantanamo Bay detention facility.)

Many local taxpayers are livid at Hardin officials. “It’s been a complete fiasco since the beginning, and I don’t see how they built it without any solid contracts,” says Mike Carpata, a forester with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, as he shopped for reloading supplies at Lammer’s Trading Post, where locals and members of the Crow Tribe come to buy guns and ammo, beading supplies, or to sell for quick cash their saddles, buffalo robes and beaded-buckskin ceremonial costumes. But others remain supportive of the jail project — and the enterprise of the town’s administrators. The store’s fourth-generation owner, George Lammers, noting the drastic difference between subtropical, humid Gitmo and dry, wintry Hardin, says, “This place would be torture for some of those boys.” But, he allows, “I think it would be great for all the law enforcement people to be here. It would help our housing market. Our city fathers wanted the economic benefits, but I guess they didn’t foresee the political controversies.”

For months, correction officers Glyn and Rae Perkins, husband and wife, were the only employees at the 96,000 sq. ft. Two Rivers facility. They were laid off on Jan. 23. “Those of us who were involved had such high hopes,” she says. “The state blocked us at every stage. It could’ve been such a good thing. I sit here now, watching businesses close and people wondering if they’ll lose their houses. It’s sad. But the idea of housing Gitmo prisoners here just floors me. It would be scary.”

It is easy to understand the economic appeal of the project, as the county’s unemployment rate hovers around 10% and Hardin’s central business district has seen much better days. On a Saturday morning, two 30ish sisters who had been up all night partying, wobbled along the sidewalk then slouched in the sun against one of many vacant storefronts lining Center Avenue. They said they needed a ride out of town and were afraid they might be picked up by the police and jailed, but then laughed with some relief when reminded that the closest lock-up, the Big Horn County Jail, was now so overcrowded that it was turning away misdemeanor offenders.

Thank you for the data. Curioser and curioser. Interesting stuff. I am still wondering what the real backing was on this. APF still strikes me as a front and a cut-out for someone. However, not enough data to go further - at this point.

The $27 million in bonds used to build the jail went into default last year. Peterson said the 10-year contract would not fully repay that debt, but that the bonds would be covered if the California company exercises its option for an additional 10 years.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardin,_Montana

Jail

In 2004-05, a Texas development consortium convinced Hardin's industrial development authority to float bonds to build the speculative Two Rivers Regional Correctional Facility, a $27 million jail for 464 inmates mostly dormitory housing located on a 40-acre field. Officials claimed that the understanding when construction began in 2006 was that the State of Montana would send some state prisoners there. The state has denied that allegation, and the economic feasibility study used to promote the bonds had not mentioned the possibility of incarceration of sentenced state prisoners. The facility was ready to open in July 2007, but no such transfer occurred. Although the consortium’s operator, CEC/CiviGenics, sought prisoners from various states, agencies and jurisdictions, they were unsuccessful in that quest.

The three choppers with the sun behind them looks like a photo that was used in promoting the movie "Apocalypse Now" - exactly like it.

more history of double-headed eagle/cross

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-headed_eagle

www.reformation.org/pope-constantine.html

"....The Roman eagle was replaced by the CROSS!!

Jesus gave unmistakable signs of the destruction of Jerusalem and the end of the world. The sign heralding the destruction of Jerusalem was the surrounding of the city by the legions of Rome. Beginning in 66 A.D., imperial Rome surrounded that city with her eagles.

"When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)"(Matthew 24:15).

"For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the EAGLES be gathered together" (Matthew 24:28).By 70 A.D., the Temple was completely destroyed and not one stone was left upon another.

Beginning with Pope Constantine, papal Rome laid siege to the spiritual Temple, the Israel of God, the Congregation of Christ, and the war continues to this very day......"

==============================

"....Flag of the Palaiologos Dynasty with the imperial coat of arms. The four Bs, or pyrekvola, represent the initials of the family's motto.[2]....Due to their relations and intermarriage with Western dynastic families, the Palaiologoi were the first Imperial family to use crests and coats of arms in the Western sense. Originally, the family's dynastic arms consisted of a gold cross on a red field. After his ascent to the imperial throne and subsequent recapture of Constantinople in 1261, Michael VIII Palaiologos added four outward-facing gold 'B's or Fire Steles (Greek: ÅÁµº²Ì»± - Pyrekvola) in the quarters.[1] Known as the "tetragrammic cross", the stylised 'B's were interpreted as the initials of the imperial motto King of Kings, Ruling Over Rulers (Greek: ’±Ã¹»µÍ ’±Ã¹»­É½, ’±Ã¹»µÍɽ ’±Ã¹»µÅ̽Äɽ - Basileus BasileMn, BasileuMn BasileuontMn).[3] Another common emblem used by the Palaiologoi was the Imperial double-headed eagle, occasionally displayed bearing the family's sympilema, or dynastic cypher, on the breast....."

I just had a thought. The first people they'll likely round up, will be the Montana Militia.

This is straight out of the book of revelations. The only thing that should be done, is for every Montana citizen to arm themselves, and destroy every member of that little police force. The City of Hardin really screwed up good and proper by electing the traitors they have for leaders right now, and the only way to stop this nonsense from spreading, is to cut the cancer out while it's still treatable.

Then again, they did elect Max Baucus, a man who wants it to be illegal to live without health insurance. He wants to put you in jail and make you pay ungodly fines for breathing without being an indentured servant to an insurance company.

It is far past time to open rebellion in this country and if ever there was a time to get rid of paramilitary outfits such as Blackwater, and now this American Police Force nonsense, it is NOW.

Better to be hated for what you are, than loved for what you are not.

that little police force

It wouldn't work, 'cause the Feds would have the Army, National Guard, and Marines in there quicker than you could blink an eye.
