NJ OATH KEEPERS ARE PARTICIPATING IN THIS RALLY.
WE WILL BE IN COLORS AND ASSEMBLING AT THE WAR MEMORIAL.
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE.
JOIN US! WE ARE DEFENDING OUR “BILL OF RIGHTS”.
SPREAD THE WORD!
OATH KEEPERS FOUNDER STEWART RHODES WILL BE ATTENDING THIS RALLY.
Don’t miss the March 26th gun owner rally in Trenton sponsored by ANJRPC and NRA. A large turnout is expected. At the rally, we will hear from Second Amendment leaders, pro-gun public officials, and other notable speakers.
It’s time for gun owners to speak with one thunderous voice and let lawmakers know we are watching, we are not going away, and we are going to resist legislation that targets gun rights instead of gun criminals every step of the way. Get ready to make history with us!
Date: Monday March 26, 2018
Time: 9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. (approx.)
Place: Trenton War Memorial, 1 Memorial Drive, Trenton, NJ 08608. Alternate address for GPS: 1 West Lafayette Street, Trenton, NJ 08608.
We will assemble on and around the main steps, located on Barrack Street between Memorial Drive and Lafayette Street.
Weather: Rain or shine. Be prepared and dress appropriately for all weather conditions.
Directions: Click here or here
Parking: The closest parking is at the Lafayette Garage (hotel parking), 1 West Lafayette Street. Other nearby garages include the Trenton Parking Authority,110 N. Warren Street, and the Trenton Parking Authority, E. Front Street between N. Warren and Broad Streets. Click here for additional parking options. Plan to arrive extra early, as Trenton is expected to be jam-packed that day.
Public Transportation: Direct rail service to Trenton is provided by both NJ Transit (1-800-582-5946) and Amtrak (1-800-872-7245). NJ Transit also provides bus service to and within the Trenton area (many buses stop at the WarMemorial, 1 block from the State House; others stop at the train station). From the train station, you can either take a cab, or it’s a 15-minute walk to the War Memorial – please plan the route ahead of time if you are taking public transportation and plan on walking!
ANJRPC Buses: ANJRPC is providing a limited number of buses from key locations around NJ. Click here to be redirected to a page (set up by our friends at Gun For Hire) where you can register for one of the ANJRPC buses. To cover a portion of the high cost of chartering the buses, a $10 donation will be collected from each passenger. Note: registration is on a first come, first served basis, seating is limited and cannot be guaranteed, and bus locations are subject to change or cancellation. Additionally, buses leaving Trenton after the rally are anticipated to depart mid-afternoon. There will be additional updates for bus registrants as we get closer to March 26.
Nearby Restaurants & Hotels: Click here for a list of restaurants and hotels in the area. There is also a cafeteria inside the State House Annex called Café NJ, and other nearby restaurants include Smoke House Bar-B-Q, 11 W. Front Street, Trenton (609-695-1911). We also think it’s a good idea for you to plan ahead and have some snacks with you at the rally in case you get hungry or thirsty.
Bathrooms: There will be porta-potties on site, but they may be challenging to access if more people attend the rally than anticipated, and we will not have access to the inside of the War Memorial due to another function there that day. Make sure you use other rest rooms immediately before the rally, and be prepared for the possibility that you might have to wait until the rally breaks up to use the restroom again.
Signage: The only restriction on any signage you might wish to bring is that it cannot be mounted to sticks or posts. That is a NJ State Police requirement, not ours.
Sales Prohibited: No items can be offered for sale at the rally. Again, that is a NJ State Police requirement, not ours.
Antagonists & Hecklers: If anti-gun hecklers and antagonists attempt to disrupt our rally, do not physically engage with them – that is the job of law enforcement. We are there to make a statement – keep your focus on the mission and don’t take the bait. Media will be watching.
For those going to the State House after the rally: After the rally ends, you may choose to go to the State House on your own to stop in to the Assembly or Senate galleries to observe legislator voting. Please note the following:
– This activity is not part of the rally and is on your own.
– The State House is going to be very crowded that day and seating in the galleries is extremely limited and cannot be guaranteed. If you do get a seat, you might lose it if you leave it (even to go to the bathroom).
– The voting sessions may not actually begin until after 2:00 pm and could go into the evening (but to get a seat, you’ll probably need to arrive much earlier than that).
– If you plan on staying for several hours, we advise that you eat right after the rally and before heading to the galleries.
– You will have to go through metal detectors to get into the State House, and will be subject to search.
Please watch for additional updates and alerts on the rally.

https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1750339337641336579
A panel of our most experienced veteran street cops and SWAT officers, some still current serving, as well as Special Warfare and combat arms veterans, will present on:
1. Their analysis and findings on what policies, programs, and TTPs (tactics, techniques, and procedures), need to be put in place by schools and local LEOs to most effectively protect the students, as well as what legislative and regulatory changes would need to take place at the local and federal level to facilitate those changes. What will keep the students safe? What needs to change, what needs to be done, and how do we do it for long term, lasting solutions to the threat of “active shooter” mass murderer and terrorist attacks against our schools?
2. Their recommendations, advice, and guidelines for our Oath Keepers volunteers in Operation We Got Your Six (WGY6), who are volunteering to serve on campus with school permission, if possible, and are also posting off campus to overwatch schools to spot and report to local LEOs any potential threats, with the expectation that only our most well trained, experienced, and qualified professional police and military members will be expected to be prepared to directly respond to a worst case scenario of an ongoing mass murder attack such as recently happened in Florida. Emphasis will be on effective coordination with local LEOs, with the schools, and with each other to avoid blue-on-blue tragedies, and emphasis will be on putting a primary on effective observation and overwatch, with direct action being the last resort, and only by our most skilled designated responders. This webinar will help you do it right.
As always, you will have the opportunity to ask questions of the panelists.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

Oath Keeper Army veteran Mark Gowan Stands Guard Outside Fort Wayne, Indiana High School
Oath Keepers, an association of military, police, fire-fighters and other first-responders, launches “Operation We Got You Six” to let the children of America know that our well-trained retired police officers and military veterans will protect the kids while they are in school against any madman or terrorist who tries to attack them.
CALL TO ACTION: Oath Keepers, in the wake of the horrific attack on the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, it is time to step up nationwide and defend our schools against the threat of mass murder. Enough is enough. We call on you to post up armed outside your local school, as close as the local laws allow, and stand guard in defense of the children of your community.
Oath Keepers National Call to Action Video
Oath Keepers in Indiana, such as the outstanding Army veteran, Mark Cowan, are already standing guard outside schools in their state. Mark has set the example for you to follow, so now it is time for you to also step up and get it done where you live. Mark calls his effort “Operation We Got Your Six” and we are adopting that same name for this national effort. Hat’s off to Mark for leading the way. Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? Let’s roll.
Video interview with Indiana Oath Keeper Mark Cowan, who is standing guard outside a high school in Fort Wayne, IN
Clearly, as President Trump stated, what should be done is to arm and train the teachers, just as is done in Israel. That would provide the most effective deterrent and the fastest defense, since the teachers and staff are right there with the intended victims, and are already tasked with taking care of the kids.
Armed teacher protecting children in Israel. If it’s right for Israel, why isn’t it right for America?
But until the idiotic laws and policies that demand disarmed teacher zones full of helpless children are changed here in the U.S., we military and police veteran Oath Keepers will fill the void by being as close to the schools as we can be, just as we filled the void by standing guard outside recruiting centers across the nation in the wake of the Chattenooga, TN terror attack when even well trained military recruiters were not allowed to carry firearms for their own defense.
Guarding Recruitment Centers in NH
Rick Delapp, a member of Oath Keepers, stands guard outside the Armed Forces Career Center in Kalispell, MT.
We stood guard over adults who were left unarmed by idiotic policy. How much more of a duty do we have to stand guard over our children while their teachers are left unarmed by idiotic policy? We have a duty under our oath to step up and stand in the gap, by posting outside our schools in every community nationwide, standing guard as close to the schools as the local laws allow, so we are ready and able to be a quick reaction force to decisively stop any mass murderer or terrorist intent on killing children. As we have seen over and over again, the police cannot be everywhere and they also cannot possibly respond fast enough to put an immediate end to the killing. When second count, the police are minutes away.
Be sure to alert local law enforcement of what you will be doing, where you will post outside the school, how to easily identify you (such as with your Oath Keepers shirts and hats and any additional methods of identification you decide on), and also notify the school of your intent. Notice the key word there is “notify,” rather than asking for permission. When it comes to standing outside schools within the limits of the law to defend the lives of our children, you don’t need to ask permission of bureaucrats or politicians. Their Alice-in-Wonderland thinking – insisting on turning our schools into soft target kill boxes full of helpless kids, with disarmed teachers and staff who are not equipped to stop the attack – has created a terrorist’s dream setup on a silver platter.
Stand on your rights and your duty and get it done. Please also stay within the law, such as being only as close to the school as state and federal law allows (each state is different, so be sure you know the local rules) so as to deny our anti-gun/ anti-veteran/ anti-cop politically motivated leftist enemies an easy way to shut you down or even try to prosecute you for doing the right thing. The same goes for whether to be armed with a handgun or a long arm, and whether to go open carry or concealed. Know your local laws and use your own best judgment on what is the best method and posture for you to use in your local community.
President Trump recently declared that he would have run into that school even if unarmed to try to stop the killing. That’s the spirit! We who are trained and equipped to do it right have the highest duty, and the highest honor, of stepping in between the children and evil incarnate.
As we said in Army Airborne, the time has come to stand up, hook up, and shuffle to the door. Let’s get it done. If not us, then who? We must lead the way.
For the Republic,
Stewart Rhodes
Founder of Oath Keepers
PS- We will post up more details on our advice on how to most effectively coordinate with local law enforcement and how to best secure the schools. Our experienced LEO and special warfare veterans will lead the way in providing that advice. Note that we also call on you to do all you can to influence a change in Federal, state and local laws, and in your local school administration policies to allow well trained military and police veterans to serve as armed volunteers inside the schools, and to also allow the teachers and school staff to get trained and then carry concealed handguns inside the school. And then you will need to train those teachers and school staff members. Time to fix this.
Also, join us tonight, Feb 26, 2018 at 9pm Eastern for a special online webinar on this topic. Go here to register for that webinar.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. Please plan on joining by computer so you will be able to see video presentations and also so you can ask questions and make comments.
Presenters will be Navy Jack and Stewart Rhodes. We may add other presenters.
NavyJack will review the continuing efforts of the resistance movement against Trump, including the coordinated support for the office of special counsel Mueller. He will provide a list of potential guideposts that will determine the landscape for the upcoming mid-term elections, the prognosis for the remaining three years of the President’s term, and how these events are shaping domestic and foreign policy.
Stewart Rhodes will present on the reality that the state government of California, by declaring itself a “sanctuary state,” is now in insurrection against the legitimate, constitutionally enacted immigration laws of the Union, in direct violation of clear federal law that makes harboring illegal aliens a felony offense, and how this amounts to an insurrection against the Constitution itself, which guarantees to each state a republican form of government – and how this is the latest salvo in an ongoing Marxist/Democratic party coup/insurrection which aims to illegitimately secure a permanent leftist/Democratic lock on political power not just in California but across the nation. He will also highlight some ominous parallels with what is happening in Europe and how this all ties in with globalist goals of destabilization and consolidation of their power.
Stewart will also lead a discussion on what can and must be done about this at the federal and state level, and what role we the people, and especially we the trained military and police, have to play in putting down this insurrection – which is aimed at the final checkmate and destruction of our Constitutional Republic.
Please join us for this important webinar. You will be encouraged to ask questions and to comment. Please invite your friends and family to attend, and please also spread the word on social media and by email.
We have a limit of 1,000 registered attendees, so please register right away to reserve a slot.

Oath Keepers
PS – Please note that this is not about race. This is about ideology – the cancer of Marxism that has infected this nation just like it has infected Europe with similar results – intentional national assisted suicide. The Marxists use racial ‘identity politics” to divide and conquer the American people along racial lines, and in particular aim to radicalize and weaponize both native born and immigrant racial minorities, by indoctrinating them with Marxist ideology and resultant hatred of this nation and its institutions. Immigrants (legal and illegal) are encouraged NOT to assimilate, and to instead have loyalty to their nation of origin and to their race- if non-white (just as is done in Europe with the Muslim immigrants, except they are encouraged to place radical Islam in the prime place of loyalty). Native born American minorities are likewise conditioned to hate and despise the nation of their birth and its Constitution, as being inherently “racist, imperialistic, and oppressive” – the standard Marxist propaganda against all Western Civilization.
This is not about race. This is about ideology. A message from new Oath Keepers member, Max Vasquez (USMC Vietnam veteran): “Just let him know that I support and stand next to him. Ready to go to the border and help secure it. “To Protect and Defend..”, Oath did not have an expiration date on it.” Semper Fi Marine. You fought communists in Vietnam, now you fight them here too.
Of course, the Marxists, especially in universities, also indoctrinate millions of white Americans to likewise hate and despise the nation of their birth, using the same propaganda – again, just as is done in Europe, so that anyone who opposes them is labeled “racist” and “fascist” for simply defending the fundamental building blocks of Western Civilization such as rule of law, private property, free enterprise, individual liberty, free speech, constitutional limited government, and sane immigration that only allows immigration at a rate that ensures assimilation and loyalty to the nation. in fact, the very concept of a nation, with secured borders and enforced immigration laws, which deserves loyalty, is attacked. All of of the above are demonized as inherently “racist” and “xenophobic” with the only “approved answer” being unconditional surrender and submission to endless open border immigration, non-assimilation, and intentional balkanization. The goal is nothing less than the fragmenting and destruction of all of Western Civilization, to be replaced with a SJW Marxist Hell on Earth which the globalist, corporate fascist elites will ultimately rule from above.
That is how we end up with white, black, and brown Americans all burning the American flag, flying the Soviet flag or some other foreign flag, refusing to stand for the national anthem, and running around in black masks, assaulting anyone who disagrees with them.
And this is why we wouldn’t want ten million white Swedes to emigrate here either, judging by what a FUBAR socialist mess Sweden now is. No thanks. We have enough Marxist internal enemies already. Stay in Sweden and fix Sweden. They demonstrate that ideology shapes destiny, regardless of race. A cancerous ideology like Marxism will kill any nation.
Thankfully, there are millions of American patriots who are now wise to this strategy and are pushing back. let’s help lead the way.

Sheriff Richard Mack leads a crowded field of Republicans in the Arizona Special Election to replace Congressman Trent Franks. With the election fast approaching at the end of February he needs the support of Constitutional Conservatives from across our nation.
PHOENIX (AP) — Thirteen Republicans and three Democrats filed enough signatures to make the ballot for a special primary election to replace former U.S. Rep. Trent Franks, state elections officials said Wednesday evening.
The Republicans include former state Sens. Steve Montenegro and Debbie Lesko, former state Rep. Phil Lovas and former state utility regulator Bob Stump. Also making the GOP primary ballot are Clair Van Steenwyk and former Graham County Sheriff Richard Mack.
The other seven Republicans are Chad Allen, Kevin Cavanagh, Brenden Dilley, Stephen Dolgos, David Lien, Christopher Sylvester and Mark Yates.
The Democrats are Dr. Hiral Tipirneni, Brianna Westbrook and Gene Scharer. Two Green Party candidates failed to file qualifying signatures by Wednesday evening’s deadline.
The heavily Republican 8th Congressional District covers much of the western and northwestern Phoenix suburbs, and the winner of the GOP primary will be strongly favored to win the seat outright. Democrats are holding out hope that a surge of opposition to President Donald Trump’s policies could drive turnout and give them the chance to pull off a stunning upset.
The special primary election is set for Feb. 27, with each party’s top vote-getter advancing to the general election on April 24.

Sheriff Mack is best known for challenging the Brady Bill, a gun control scheme requiring local law enforcement to perform background checks on prospective gun purchasers. He maintained that the Federal Government had no authority to command local officials, and became the first sheriff in American history to sue the Federal Government (under the Clinton administration) and win at the US Supreme Court. The case was based on the Tenth Amendment, states rights and local sovereignty.
Mack is the son of an FBI agent and began his own law enforcement career as a street cop in Provo, Utah. After graduating from BYU in 1978, Mack became an officer with Provo P. D. He was soon promoted to corporal, sergeant, and detective. He spent one year as an undercover narcotics agent. In 1988, Mack moved home to Arizona where he ran for sheriff. He was elected Graham County Sheriff and served as such for eight years. It was during this time – in 1994 – that federal agents informed all sheriffs that they would be required to work for the Federal Government under the mandate of the Brady Bill, and Mack’s court case began.
Since that landmark ruling Mack has written six books and appeared at over 175 Tea Party rallies nationwide. He has stood against the incursions of the Federal Government and has fought for civil rights from Hawaii to Bangor, Maine. He is the Founder and President of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) and has been inducted into the NRA Hall of Fame.

To wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Oath Keepers is holding a special membership drive and sale. From now until midnight, January 31, 2018, you can join Oath Keepers, renew your membership, or give someone a gift membership at a great discount rate, and have a chance to win an AR-15 rifle and other great prizes (see below).
Every membership purchased during this membership drive (including renewals) will be entered into a drawing (void where prohibited) for: A New Frontier Armory AR15 5.56 rifle; an Oath Keepers Lifetime membership (a $1,000.00 value); or a Glock 20 SF 10mm Handgun (see below for details).
During this Special, a one year membership is only $29.95 (normally $40.00). And you can get a Lifetime Membership for only $800.00 (normally $1,000.00) or a Lifetime with Spouse membership for only $1,100.00 (normally $1,500.00).
Give yourself a membership or renew at a discount rate if already a member. If you renew, the renewal will go into effect on your current renewal date – so, for example, if a renewal date is April 20, 2018, the renewed membership will start April 21, 2018 even if you renew sooner, during this sale.
Give a discounted membership as a gift to a veteran or other dedicated patriot (NOTE: even if a person has not served in the military, police, or as a first-responder, they can join as an *Associate Member * and participate in all that we do – we are all in this together).
Help us defend the Constitution! To learn more about our mission, go here.
Note that all memberships purchased between midnight December 16, 2017 and midnight, January 31, 2018, will be entered into this drawing (to include some of our members who renewed earlier this week).
New Frontier Armory Rifle has a 5.56 chamber, a sixteen inch barrel with birdcage flash suppressor, Magpull handguards, and back up rear sight/metal folding front sight. It also comes with a Barska red dot sight.
Lifetime membership includes:
This awesome Glock 20 SF (Short Frame) 10mm comes with two 15 round magazines. “The SF model reduces the circumference of the receiver at the rear, or “backstrap,” offering increased comfort and control—especially to shooters with smaller hands.” This is a fantastic handgun, chambered for the powerful and flat-shooting 10mm round, which is a favorite of outdoorsmen and rural LEOs nation-wide who prefer a semi-auto for defense against both two legged and four legged predators, as well as for hunting (the 10mm with solid loads is known to deliver more penetration and longer practical range than the .45) .
The three winners will be randomly picked by computer from all entrants including post card entrants. If the entry was a gift, the person named on the membership entry or postcard will be the the winner.*

CHATHAM — Community icon John W. Wallace, who was diverse in many aspects of his life and could find humor in any situation, died Nov. 7 at his home. Wallace was 73.
Son of Alexander and Catherine Langan Wallace, John Wallace was born in New York City on Nov. 19, 1943. He moved to Chatham in 1991.
Serving as a state trooper for 31 years, Wallace attained the rank of lieutenant colonel.
After retirement, he became the owner of The Gray Rider Real Estate Co. in Chatham.
Wallace was also the former chairman of the Chatham Republican Committee, former president of the New York State Oath Keepers, Grand Knight of the Our Lady of the Rosary Knights of Columbus, cast member of Chatham Improv, and usher and communicant of Saint James Church.
Anastasia Wallace said he always enjoyed a challenge.
“He was very funny, he had a great sense of humor — he was a prankster, he was a joker,” she said. “He liked improv because it got him thinking — it was quick thinking and he enjoyed that.”
Anastasia said Wallace also did plays and an early morning radio show on 93.5.
“He was very diverse, he was into a lot of things,” she said. “He liked to be busy and he was successful in what he did.”
Wallace’s pride and joy was working with the state police. It is also the reason why he named his real estate company “gray riders” — after the name given to state troopers, Anastasia said.
Don Tubbs, born and raised in Chatham, was in the Oath Keepers with Wallace.
“I used to go on trips with him to rallies and places where people would speak on the Constitution,” he said. “John was always invited to say a few words.”
What Tubbs found the most compelling about Wallace was how determined he was to teach people the importance of the Constitution.
“It was a very important thing to John,” Tubbs said. “He always stressed the importance on people following the Constitution — he was always willing and able to help anybody he could.”
Tubbs said Wallace founded the Columbia-Greene chapter of the Oath Keepers.
“He was one of my better mentors that I’ve had,” Tubbs said. “He was a down-to-earth man — he loved his family and his country — this is a great loss.”
Mike Blasl, owner of French, Gifford, Preiter and Blasl Funeral Home knew Wallace for almost 13 years.
“John was a great guy,” he said. “He was bigger than life — his personality and humor were that way as well.”
Blasl said Wallace loved to help out groups, and everytime he got into an organization, Wallace was running it.
“He was a guy that stepped up to the plate to make things happen,” Blasl said. “I think anybody that met him liked him.”
Wallace is survived by his wife, Anastasia; three daughters, Allison, Kathleen, and Mary; and a son in-law, Larry.

Stewart Rhodes, reporting from the ground in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico:
We’ve been here on the ground in Puerto Rico since last Sunday, Oct 1 and have only now been able to get online (we were able to send out one short message on Facebook from the Aguadilla Airport staff’s computer on Monday, but that was it till now). Today we found one local business that now has wifi, but power is still out nearly everywhere in P.R. including where we are staying. But the people are getting some clean water from natural springs and wells (even the National Guard is using these springs to fill up their water trucks to then take to areas without springs). The lack of power, internet, and bad phone connections really hampers relief and rebuilding. However, the people of Puerto Rico are strong, tough, and resilient, and above all they are very positive and light-hearted people (as most island people are around the world) and they roll with the punches in superb style. We have talked to and interacted with hundred of locals as we reach out into the barrios on the coast that were hit with surge flooding and into the remote mountain communities that are still trying to dig out from landslides and we have not had one negative interaction. All are friendly, helpful, and grateful for our help.
They are very grateful to see Americans from the Continental U.S. here to help, and especially grateful to see military and police veterans taking the time to come to Puerto Rico to lend a hand. We have had excellent liaison, rapport and mutual assistance with local LEOs and with the National Guard here (most of whom are from Puerto Rico but many of whom have also lived in the states). All are awesome people doing great work. When a plane load of food we were waiting on was delayed, the local unit of the National Guad at the airport in Aguadilla gave us ten cases of MREs out of their own supply, as well as five cases of water, so we could hand them out to people in need. Behind them was a massive pile of supplies that they informed us were FEMA controlled, and they could not touch it, so instead they gave us their own MREs to give out to people. We had the same experience in Texas during Harvey, and again in Florida during the aftermath of Erma – the National Guard is awesome and are happy to work with us and to help us. Frankly, FEMA and the Red Cross should just turn their stuff over to the National Guard, the Coast Guard, the Navy, the USMC, and to the Army Corps of Engineers and just let them get it done. Stay out of their way.
American Veterans Helping Veterans in Puerto Rico
We have met many Puerto Rican military veterans here who served in the U.S. Armed Forces, and also ex-pat mainland American veterans who retired from the military and moved here to Puerto Rico. Keep that in mind. When you help us help them, you are helping other veterans and the families of veterans, some who paid the ultimate price in service to our nation. They wore the same uniform you did, and fought and died under the same flag. Tank of Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children and I were talking about that just before I flew to P.R. He was pissed off at hearing self-described patriots saying “f*%k Peurto Rico” as if this were some other nation that had nothing with us. Tank pointed out the high per capita ratio of Puerto Ricans who serve in the U.S. military and how many of them serve in the Marine Corps. It has been that way at least since WWI as far as I know. Just like the American Indian tribes send a disproportionate number of their sons to fight and die whenever this nation is at war, when our nation calls, Puerto Ricans lace up their boots and show up, going into combat under the stars and stripes. Therefore, as a simple matter of honor and decency, when they are in need, us “gringos” need to also lace up our boots and show up to help them. And that is why we are here. I have met some amazing men in Puerto Rico who I would go through hell’s front door with and they aren’t even veterans. Just young working class mechanics and laborers who like to serf in their spare time. But they are here with us, helping us as translators, guides, using their chainsaws and machetes to clear fallen trees out of the way, helping pick up supplies from the airport, and helping us protect those supplies and also protect the awesome doctors and medics from Third Wave Volunteers we are here to escort.
I’d like the put a special shout out to Jeremiah, a U.S. Army veteran who was born in the states, but who’s father was a Special Forces Vietnam vet who was born in Puerto Rico. Jeremiah has hooked us up with local accommodations, box trucks, and a ton of local contacts who have also stepped in to help, such as Christopher Silva, who owns a local mechanic shop. Silva has taken time away from his shop to serve as an interpreter and guide, along with his cousin Jean Badillo, who has also been helping us find the local barrios and remote communities that need help, and acting as our interpreter and guide.
As for the Oath Keepers, I still have with me some of our most squared away and experience men, including Scott Dunn (Army Ranger School graduate, ex-cop, corrections officer veteran and retired trauma nurse) who was with us in Texas, then in Florida, and is now here with me in Puerto Rico (yes, Scott needs a break, but he is still going strong six weeks in); Ivan Chaplinsky, an Army Ranger veteran who happened to spend six months driving military vehicles in Haiti back in the 90s (once I learned that, I made Ivan one of our drivers – if he can drive in Haiti he can drive anywhere); and David Harrington, who served in U.S. Army artillery and also did PSD and force protection work overseas. He is also a police academy graduate. We have more superb men on the way (see below).
Just as we saw in Texas and in Florida, it is the poorer areas (the “barrios”), and the more remote poor rural areas, that are neglected by the government and by the Red Cross, with too little, too late in support. It is frustrating for us, but we are doing what we can. Just today we did a bit of recon into three local communities in the Augada area that suffered severe surge flooding during the hurricane who have seen zero assistance from the government of Puerto Rico, from FEMA, or from the Red Cross. We don’t fault the National Guard – they are doing all they can, but it beyond us why these communities have not even been contacted by anyone else but us. We were the first disaster relief/humanitarian aid of any kind they had seen. That is simply baffling to us, considering the billions the Red Cross raises with each disaster, and the massive resources at the disposal of the Federal Government (such as the U.S. military).
We saw precisely the same thing in Texas and in Florida – in many communities they see neither hide nor hair of either FEMA or the Red Cross. Or, at most, FEMA personnel show up with a clip-board and do an “assessment,” but with no supplies, and then they di di mao, never to be seen again, leaving baffled and frustrated disaster survivors shaking their heads. We hear reports from survivors of Red Cross showing up and maybe gives out a few meals to a few people,taking pictures, and then they are never seen again. We hardly saw any Red Cross trucks in either Texas or in Florida (I saw NO Red Cross in Texas where we were in Orange County, and the locals told us they hadn’t seen any either). Now, that would be understandable if Red Cross were like us, a relatively small org with a limited shoe-sting budget, but they aren’t at all like us – they have billions of dollars and hotline connections and priority with FEMA as well as with the rest of the U.S. government. We should see a friggin army of Red Cross trucks all over the place at a disaster, filled with food, water, diapers, and other supplies. But we don’t. And FEMA? FEMA is a joke. There are some good people who work for FEMA, but as a whole, FEMA is about as useful as a fart in a tornado when it comes to getting anything done on the ground, especially in the critical first 72 hours and in the critical first two weeks.
You know who takes care of business in the first 72 hours? The locals, and the people themselves within driving range who throw their ruck in the truck and put the peddle to the metal, such as the flat out heroic “crazy ass coon asses” of the Cajun Navy who don’t wait for orders from FEMA or anyone else, and just hook up their flat-boats and airboats and “giterdun.” They saved countless lives in Texas, and then again in Florida. We are honored to have worked with them in the past, and we are happy to report that we are now coordinating with them again on getting supplies into Puerto Rico. We have offered to accept those supplies here at the Aguadilla airport, addressed to a local working with us so they are less likely to “grow legs” and we can make sure they actually get to the people of Puerto Rico rather than sitting unused in a warehouse on the docks in San Juan (like most other supplies sent to Puerto Rico, unfortunately).
Dr Thompson and her team from Third Wave Volunteers have been amazing. They are all seasoned, dedicated hard chargers who are ready to go wherever needed. They are dealing with the lack of communications and the difficulty in getting flights with supplies in, but driving on despite that. It has been frustrating for us all to know that there are tons of supplies in the hands of FEMA in San Juan that are going nowhere, and having to rely on donated flights for supplies, that often are simply piggy backing onto other flights with other cargo. What we really need, frankly, is somebody who owns their own plane who can just fly the supplies in, without Third Wave Volunteers having to try to piggy back onto other flights. Where is our version of George Soros? Apparently only evil billionaires who hate humanity bother to help get things done for the orgs they support. Rich conservatives and libertarians? Nope. Not that I have seen. It comes down to working class and middle class patriots, as always, having to shoulder the burden, along with a few celebrities who have thankfully stepped up and donated the money to pay for flights for Third Wave Volunteers. But for Oath Keepers? We have had some amazing patriots who are not even millionaires donate thousands out of their own pockets, and other middle class and working class members donate hundreds of their very hard earned money, and patriots who donate what little they can despite being strapped and one paycheck from being homeless themselves, but no billionaire has yet to step up. Again just the way it is.
We would greatly appreciate any financial support you can give, as we have considerable logistical expenses to get our men equipped, transported, and then fed while here on the ground. It takes money to do this. Just a fact. You can donate here https://www.gofundme.com/emergency-medical-evacuation Our men do it for free, and we are getting free flights in from Miami, courtesy of Third Wave Volunteers and their supporters, but we would like to pay for our Oath Keepers volunteer’s gas as they travel in to Miami from around the U.S. and we need to take care of them while they are here in Puerto Rico. We need fuel for our trucks, and supplies to do the work, and we need to feed our men. Just as we follow the Special Forces model with our CPT teams, we have been doing the same here, with our medics and combat engineers helping with far more than just security. We will be doing it all, but the primary mission will still be protecting the medical and relief personnel of Third Wave Volunteers.
Tomorrow we expect another team of Oath Keepers to fly in from Miami into Aguadilla, led by Army combat engineer/infantry combat vet Brian Carrithers (from Florida Oath Keepers). That team will include three USMC Puerto Rican veterans who have family here on the island. Also on that flight will be three active duty Marines who are escorting in some generators (to be sure they don’t “grow legs”). So, the Oath Keepers Marines are on their way! I am here with three other Army veterans, with three of us being Airborne, including Ranger veteran Ivan Chaplinsky (RLTW!) who were part of the first team in. Of course, when we heard some Marines were on the way, we joked about how “it’s about time the damn Marines show up”) but we love our Jarhead brothers and can’t wait to greet them on the tarmac in Aguadilla. In all the years we have done things like this, I know as certain as the sun rises that I will have a metric shit ton of Jarheads show up, right along with Army Airborne and Army infantry. Oohrah, and Hooah!
While the great mass of the people of Puerto Rico are good people, there are bad guys here too (as it is everywhere on this planet). We have yet to run into any – funny how that works. They tend to stay away from relief teams and convoys that are escorted by men who look like they mean business, which is precisely the outcome we want – but we have spoken to numerous local LEOs and National Guard who informed us there have been armed robberies, car jackings, and also the murder of a fuel truck driver, as well as gangs stealing /robbing entire fuel trucks at gunpoint. Which is why we are here. This means that our men are doing potentially dangerous work, but it is work that is necessary, and God willing we will be enough of a deterrent that the bad guys don’t even try it with anyone we are escorting. But our men will be ready if they do. While at it, our medically trained members will assist with medical assessments and wellness checks, and our combat engineers will help clear roads and cut up fallen trees that endanger homes.
Please keep our men in your prayers and know that they are doing the right thing, for the right reason, and in the right way. With professionalism and compassion. God bless and thanks for your support.

Above all what is needed here by the people of Puerto Rico is food, water filtration systems, and biolights (little camping stoves that burn twigs and will charge your phone while doing it). Water the people can improvise, especially with a filter, but food is a different matter.
FOOD:
Canned goods, boxed goods, rice, beans, and other non-perishables, all is needed. As we saw in Texas and Florida, it is the working poor who suffer because they are out of work for weeks in the aftermath of a hurricane, and if they are farmers, their crops are destroyed. They live paycheck to paycheck, and when that is interrupted, they don’t have the money to pay for food even when it is available in the stores (but with long lines). And in the remote rural areas, and in the coastal areas that also flooded, they often don’t have vehicles since they were burried in mud and water. This means that many can’t buy food even when it is available to buy, and others can’t get to a store because their means of transportation was destroyed or they are still cut off by mudslides. Wherever we go to escort the medical teams, we want to have food to give out.
WATER:
There is water everywhere here, but unless is is from a verified clean spring or well (that wasn’t compromised by the storm), it is risky to drink. Bottled water is wonderful, and we have been using it ourselves as well as handing it out to grateful first responders. But even better than bottled water is a filter, such as a Sawyer backpacking water filter, so the people can filter the water from a local spring or well to be sure it is safe. They can even filter water from a local river, but a spring or well is cleaner. Water filtration is critical. Without clean water, people get sick, and some will die (the very young and the very old are most vulnerable). Send water filters. One per family will be a Godsend.
BIOLITE STOVE FOR COOKING, POWER, AND LIGHT
The biolite stove burns twigs for fuel, and also charges most small devices with a USB port while at it. It includes an LED light that likewise runs off the power created by the burning wood fuel. With one of those, a family can cook, using them ample local vegetation (all kinds of twigs laying around in the aftermath of hurricanes), boil water to purify it, charge their phone, and have a light.
We will update the relief supply list with more details shortly, but that is a good start. We will also provide more details on where you can ship supplies, but for now we encourage you to contact Third Wave Volunteers, Cajun Navy, or Patriot Express (we will add in contact details). NOTE: Oath Keepers stateside cannot accept or process general relief supplies for Puerto Rico. We are focused on providing on-the-ground security and other direct support with our well-trained personnel who span the spectrum of infantry combat veterans, special operations veterans, retired cops, EMTs and medics, and trauma nurses. But we are simply not set up to accept large amounts of supplies to then be shipped to Puerto Rico to be handed out. The above listed orgs, however, certainly can handle such donations. So contact them or send them to someone else you know who will receive them in Puerto Rico.
Anyone who is gathering supplies to send to Puerto Rico needs to be sure it is going to a specific person (even if meant for an org, put a real person’s name on it, who is a local), and it needs to be on a big label on the box, and someone needs to be there on the other end in P.R. to pick it up, or it is liable to “grow legs” and be taken by FEMA or by someone else. Just how it is. In addition to providing security and support for Third Wave Volunteers, we are also working with Cajun Navy and with Patriot Express to bring in supplies they are flying in. They will send some plane-loads straight to us, as Oath Keepers, at the Aguadilla airport, and we will pick them up and be sure they go to people who really need them. We are happy to distribute in Puerto Rico since we are already helping Third Wave Volunteers distribute their supplies, but we can’t accept them in the states – just here in Aguadilla, by plane. If you contact us with a plane tail number and time if flies out, from where, and what time it will land, we will be there to meet it at the airport and then get those supplies into the hands of the people. Contact us for more details at: puertorico@oathkeepers.org.
Please don’t try to send something intended to be used by a specific person in Puerto Rico. All supplies will be given out to whoever the volunteers determined need to receive them.
Best, Oath Keepers
