Firearms, a drone and 30 days of supplies: New details of Oath Keepers Jan. 6 weapons cache


But the most salient details in the new memo describe the planning and stockpiling of weapons at the Comfort Inn. Among them, prosecutors say, were “at least three luggage carts’ worth of gun boxes, rifle cases, and suitcases filled with ammunition.”

“A second QRF team from North Carolina consisted of four men who kept their rifles ready to go in a vehicle parked in the hotel lot,” according to the Justice Department. “Later, Vallejo and other members of the Arizona QRF team wheeled in bags and large bins of weapons, ammunition, and essential supplies to last 30 days.”

Prosecutors say that as some Oath Keepers breached the Capitol, Vallejo “attempted, but failed, to launch … a ‘drone with a 720p cam for recon use.’” Capitol Police officials have, in recent days, described efforts to protect the Capitol against unauthorized drones.

Just a peaceful exercise of their First Amendment rights.

1. A scenario taken straight out of the movie....

" Whitehouse Down" but the target was the US Capitol/ Congress...

[Irish_Dem]

28. Right, these people are the bad guys straight out of Hollywood scripts.

Except they think they are the good guys.

[Scrivener7]

2. We need to know that if they aren't all prosecuted soon, and prosecuted harshly,

the next time they will be better at this.

3. Kick

[Aviation Pro]

4. I see they have a couple of Costco specials

That they're using as ammo boxes.

[Marthe48]

5. I will keep asking this:

What do the traitors epect will happen if they topple our democracy? Do the traitor criminals think they will be special to their traitor masters? They might be at first, but I bet that individuals would be called on to commit worse and worse atrocities against American citizens to keep getting special favors. None of the traitor criminals will be valued by traitor masters for very long. Just look at the track record of traitor henchmen left in a ditch.

[PatSeg]

19. I know what you mean

If you look throughout history and even all over the world today, the insurrectionists on the ground rarely achieve any kind of power and of course, the world does not become a better place because of their coups. Sometimes these same people will end up rebelling against the government they put in power.

I often wonder if it is the fight they care about, not any actual cause. Some people thrive on violence and destruction and any old excuse will do. What's the point of stockpiling all those expensive weapons and ammo if they can't use them? Whatever happens, they will end up very disappointed, in jail, or very likely dead. Unfortunately, they think they are living in some cheesy action flick.

21. Voltaire Said...

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."

These assholes believed in the absurd because of their leaders (who hated Obama because he was Black), fell for the "he's coming for your guns" schtick and then fell even harder for tRump's BS. So, their leaders and by extension, tRump, were able to convince them to commit atrocities against the Republic. If they'd succeeded, they'd have continued to commit atrocities, as their consciences were long since obliterated in terms of caring for "the other": We've all been dehumanized. The gods help you if you weren't white and these assclowns had won.

[jmowreader]

31. Here's the best part of this

During the eight years Obama was president, he took two actions to expand gun rights.

The first we all know about: he allowed people to carry guns in national parks.
The other I had to learn about from a gun dealer. I bought something from a pawn shop that sells a lot of guns, so I was asking about how well the gun trade was going. He told me Obama tried to get nationwide reciprocity for concealed weapons permits - right now, if I had an Idaho CCW card it wouldn’t be valid in about a third of the country. Under Obama’s plan, it would hold the same status as a driver’s license - valid nationwide. The Republicans turned him down because it would interfere in state’s rights to do it.

Also, Barack Obama and Joe Biden are both gun owners…they both have shotguns. I believe Biden is a bird hunter, and Obama is an excellent skeet shooter.

And then there’s Placeholder. Probably the last gun Trump ever even held was the wooden one he had in military school. Trump owns no guns, can shoot no guns, and attempted to grab every bump stock in the country without even buying them back. And this idiot is the one they trust to defend their gun rights? Wouldn’t that be like hiring the Big Bad Wolf to house-sit at Grandma’s?

[GB_RN]

34. Yeah...

But all those clowns saw (as the late, great Bartcop paraphrased them) was "that NITWH*", and they couldn't stand it. They'd make up any reason to hate/oppose him. I remember seeing pics of the Goat Keepers riding around with leather jackets that had, "N****r, please. It's called the WHITE House!" stitched on the back. Says all you needed to know about them.

For the life of me, I can't figure out how the Mama's Boys and Goat Keepers manage to recruit minorities like Tusitala "Tiny" Toese and Enrique "Henry" Tarrio. Hispanics and South Pacific Islanders aren't exactly people I see fitting in well with Nazi-adjacent, but full-on Euro-heritage, and "White Power!" goons. 🤷?♂️

*Clean version is -Black Guy In The White House-

27. Subservient extremists don't care about things like that. They like what they do and that's that.

They are as brainwashed as the Nazi SS were. Force - or the overwhelming threat of it, be it non-violent or violent, is the only thing they understand in their addled minds.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

30. Unfortunatey, committing atrocities is considered a perk,

not a problem, by the TFG death cult.

[mitch96]

6. I remember listening to these type guys on Lo band ham radio.. This was 30-40 years ago

They were spewing the same shit but more of a survival, end of times, defensive action..
Most were out of Idaho and Montana... I mean really out there talk.. The guys making out were the people selling the survival gear and guns....
m

[LiberatedUSA]

7. That is a lucrative business; selling tactical gear.

Unfortunately, tactical gear does not bestow tactical experience, understanding and awareness. Just a cool costume. Of course the difference between kids playing army and adults doing it, is one group can still sleep in their bed that night and get up the next morning as if nothing happened. The other not so much.

[mitch96]

9. Yup, I wonder how many of these assholes would DIE for tRump?

Or get maimed? lose a arm or leg for him? How about bedridden with a colostomy bag?
Not many I guess...

[LiberatedUSA]

11. You can tell in some of their gun purchases.

I really want to know in what situation, other than as a range toy, one would need a semi-automatic Uzi-knockoff. That isn’t me being against semi-auto tech. That is me saying the whole point of an Uzi is the autofire. Take that away…and you got a bulky 9mm, oversized pistol.

Shit like that.

[mitch96]

13. " bulky 9mm, oversized pistol. ".... agree. I guess they are wanna bee toy soldiers..nt

[jmowreader]

32. It will scare the living shit out of your intruders

It will also shoot through two layers of drywall and carry enough energy to kill your kid when it comes out the other side, but we won’t talk about that.

[Botany]

8. Gotta have your pudding when you are fighting for your "free-dumbs."

Never mind that you can buy pudding, rice, flour, coffee, and so on @ your neighborhood grocery.

[mitch96]

10. It's like the gold rush of 1848.. not many found gold but the guys selling the picks and shovels

jeans and donkeys made out like bandits!!!

[Botany]

12. They know their "suckers." You can buy dry beans in bulk cheap.

BTW if I was starving I don't know if I would eat that crap.



And their suckers are the same people who promised to fight to the death when "the big government"
came for them with their gunz but when the FBI or US Marshall came for them after their 1/6/21
US Capitol riot they all went without a fuss.

[jmowreader]

33. Go to the Good Mythical Morning YT channel

The guys who run it bought a Bakker Bucket a few years ago and ate everything in it. They said it was vile.

[fwvinson]

16. I was in a big truck during those years. All AM radio, which

is all you had at night back then, was RWNJ BS, religion and political

[Evolve Dammit]

25. It saturated AM radio for the last 4 decades, and still does. Armed forces radio too (did Rush get a

replacement)? I can't listen anymore. So much hate and lies. It has taken a major toll on this country.

[Sherman A1]

14. Just tourists

simply tourists I tell ya..............

[kacekwl]

15. Maybe they have but why is it soooo hard

given the amount of video the DOJ the FBI has the number of oath keepers arrested and I assume interrogated that the people funding and assisting them is yet to be known. These are the ones I want charged and outed. They practically confess every day in their own words. Like I said I hope this is in progress already and the leaders are again going to get a pass.

[Whiskeytide]

18. Because I don't think the Oath Keepers ...

… and other militia larpers are doing a lot of talking yet. They’ve pled out a lot of the real estate agents, hardware store owners and retirees who went to DC and went along with the crowd. The idiots that marched on command and can plausibly claim they got swept up with the mob mentality.

But the militia guys are mostly still sitting in jail keeping their mouths shut. (There have been a few that have struck deals, but still mostly low level grunts). These are the guys described in the OP - the true believers that went organized and prepared to kill their “enemies”. And I suspect many of them still believe Тяцмp is somehow going to save them.

Until those guys start rolling over and telling what they know, the people up the chain likely won’t be charged.

[IronLionZion]

17. Yup, no terrorism here

just normal tourist behavior

[modrepub]

20. You Mean

"Peaceful" exercise of 2nd amendment rights. That's what that amendment is all about.

[Bayard]

22. How did they manage to stockpile all these tourist supplies

Without anyone noticing?

[Slammer]

23. amount

Well, obviously they were realistic enough to know that if they did manage to overthrow the government that supplies would be disrupted and store shelves would no longer be re-stocked with food.

But nowhere have I seen any indication that they were bringing enough weapons to fight off the National Guard or the military.

I take that to mean that they had assurances the military would stay loyal to Trump during a coup. Because there's no reason to attempt a coup then not bring all your weapons and ammunition to back it up.

I've talked to enough survivalists over the years (survivalists not insurrectionists), to know that many of them think that you're under-prepared if you only have 40,000 rounds of ammo for your multiple guns.

So these guys showing up with a small selection of their guns and a small portion of their ammo means to me that they weren't expecting much opposition or they were expecting re-supply of guns and ammunition...but not food.

[durablend]

26. Nono of course not

"Well, obviously they were realistic enough to know that if they did manage to overthrow the government that supplies would be disrupted and store shelves would no longer be re-stocked with food."

They figured the weekly trips to Walmart would be completely unaffected along with their favorite teevee shows.

I mean such brain surgeons they clearly are

[moondust]

24. Any bomb-making materials

comparable to the materials in the DNC/RNC bombs?

[rockfordfile]

29. Un-American pos. Traitors to their country. Hotel cache reminds me of the Vegas mass murder
