- Reality check time, people. Below are some tips for residents
in Sniperville, but as things are quickly deteriorating in the D.C. area,
we cannot sit here and say, "Thank God we don't live there."
These people need help. It is clear that law enforcement is currently at
a loss on what to do. In our opinion, what these folks really need is some
help and advice from Real Americans. It's our duty.
-
- So, 'Let's Roll'...
-
- First, we need to clear up something before I lose my
temper, and people start sounding stupid. If the reader is thinking this
is some kind of federal government operation (i.e. to promote gun control),
you can stop reading this now, as you clearly cannot think beyond everything
being a conspiracy and you haven't spent much time in the D.C. area. If
this were a U.S. state-sponsored operation, sniper boy would not choose
this 'theater of operation'. Logic would dictate they would choose a much
more pro-gun environment.
-
- I could be wrong, but I'm going to stick to my guns that
sniper boy is a 'jihad freak' -- simply waging war on American soil (note:
I didn't say terrorist, as calling it that would be a 'cop out', in my
opinion). As folks can't figure out a motive (I think the police know all
too well the motive), the mission is working. The Washington Metroplex
is now going through what we predicted: social shutdown. For those that
don't live in the area, this means federal employees can't do their jobs,
and most importantly, can't 'focus' on their jobs.
-
- As all the experts are trying to profile the shooter,
here are some aspects of this shooter not being reported in the media:
-
- 1. This person is NOT targeting law enforcement at this
time. No doubt there are those in law enforcement deeply concerned about
this, as it means that if 'sniper boy' wanted, they would be sitting ducks
for those not wearing vests (although there have been a few true head shots).
To the law enforcement profiler reading this, you can now dump the 'right-wing
gun nut' theory that you're probably being pushed into believing. Without
going into details for security reasons, I back up that statement by directing
the reader to crack open a copy of Consequences" by John Ross.
-
- 2. Sniper boy has not targeted Muslims at this time.
Keep in mind (sidebar) that the Muslim community owns and operates many
of the gas stations in the D.C. area.
-
- 3. Sniper boy is NOT some law enforcement person gone
bad. This shooter knows how to infiltrate AND exfiltrate. American law
enforcement snipers have little training and little need for exfiltration
since their lethal art is protected by the Department of Justice.
-
- 4. And for those experts saying this cannot be a 'terrorist'
because it doesn't fit the 'terrorist' profile, I should remind them that
turning commercial aircraft into skyscraper termination devices wasn't
part of a 'terrorist profile' either -- until it happened. So, go ahead
and call this 'domestic terrorism', or (as regular Sierra Times readers
know) call it what it really is -- war (covert warfare operations).
-
- 5. Reports from the latest shooting say sniper boy is
not working alone. So, we can lose the lone-nut theory again. In fact,
if I recall, military sniper 'teams' have spotters as well as shooters.
-
- As we see the press conferences loaded with law enforcement
from the various jurisdictions, we don't see any military personnel. Speculation
aside, this is a MILITARY operation, and we're sticking to that story.
-
- And as of October 11, 2002, it's working.
-
- The easy solution is to say that Americans should be
armed and ready to rock at a moments notice. I suspect bulletproof vests
may soon become 'en vogue' in the D.C. area and not a reason for suspicion.
After our first article, we received plenty of quality feedback from Real
Americans. That's what is needed more right now -- Real American input.
-
- There are not enough police to police the whole area
and if those in this region of the country think the police must protect
them, then go stand outside and wait for sniper boy to shoot you next and
end your anxiety.
-
- We need to hear from the firearm experts. No -- not the
video game junkies. I'm talking about folks with the calluses on the shoulders
and those who can smell gunpowder upwind. We need serious shooters to weigh
in here.

-
- Of concern on the mind of this writer is the media coverage
itself. Like the vanishing A-10 aircraft over the Rockies a few years ago,
we are showing every bad guy, Jihad freak, or wannabe legend 'how' it can
be done. Regardless if this is just a rogue, or an operative on a mission
(I believe the latter), this could get real nasty if things started happening
in several metropolitan areas at one time. Imagine, if you will, gas stations
around the nation becoming free-fire zones right around say, Thanksgiving.
-
- I'll pause while you give that some thought.
-
- Now, this is why this person(s) must be stopped. The
Washington D.C. Area suffered only one hit on September 11, 2001. Law enforcement
did not spare them the second hit -- Real Americans did that. That is what's
needed here. There are about 8 million people in the Washington Metroplex.
That makes 8 million brains, and 16 million eyeballs. To those in the area,
we say this:
-
- EVERYONE IS AT WAR -- NOT JUST LAW ENFORCEMENT!
-
- This means the local police should not get in the way
if the people start becoming soldiers. This means citizens should NOT place
themselves at the mercy of law enforcement. They are already soldiers in
the war and they reside within the immediate war zone. The LAST thing police
need to do is to start treating citizens as 'prisoners of war'. This only
aids sniper boy.
-
- What bothers me is that, by now, I believe police probably
have a pretty good profile of the shooter. So why not release this information
to the public?
-
- ANSWER: If our suspicion is correct, the minute word
got out this may be sniper jihad (or sniper 'team' jihad), the Washington
Metro Area would become Beirut, Lebanon over night (more so than it is
now). Every gas station, carry-out and even taxi, could become targeted
in retaliation.
-
- See, I have been to Washington.
-
- Police are obsessed right now about NOT losing control
of the situation. The increasing body count is tolerable so long as the
social order doesn't collapse completely. They know -- as this author knows
-- the clock is ticking down to a point where someone, somewhere will start
taking matters into their own hands.
-
- Am I calling for this? No. I am not a firearm or covert
warfare expert. But I do know people and how they react when they feel
backed into a corner with no authoritative help in sight.
-
- World Net Daily reported recently that an al-Qaida training
videotape, captured in Afghanistan, showed that Team Jihad are not only
planning attacks with weapons of mass destruction, but are preparing to
take out Americans with drive-by shootings and home break-ins -- typical
gangland stuff. The report said the tape was "spending a lot of time
training people to carry out attacks the old-fashioned way -- attacks executed
by small groups of dedicated personnel equipped with little more than small
arms", according to WND.
-
- Real Americans, think back to the gun shows of the mid
90's. Remember the literature table? Our deduction: simply informational
material for some, but for the bad guys, written rules of engagement to
wage war on Americans. This should help the Real American figure out ways
to deal with this dilemma.
-
- OK, enough from us. We've got work to do, folks. Forget
about Congress authorizing the President to wage war. Whoever is waging
war against us didn't bother with legislative authorization. Read the news
report below, and then roll up your sleeves. In short, the Washington Metroplex
is under an effective siege at this time. If we don't get on top of this,
no doubt it will spread.
-
- This is Real. This is War. These are the Rules of Engagement.

- BALTIMORE (AP) - Men who spent their careers studying
snipers are giving civilians in the Washington suburbs the kind of advice
they once gave to people accustomed to living in the line of fire: Keep
moving. Look for cover.
-
- Dark, out-of-the-way spots may be the safest places for
people to buy groceries or pump gas, said retired Maj. John Plaster, former
Army Green Beret and author of ``The Ultimate Sniper,'' a police and military
training manual. He offered the advice Thursday to people in counties surrounding
Washington, where sniper attacks have terrorized people for nine days.
-
- "If you look at where the night shootings have taken
place, they were well illuminated,'' Plaster said. "Think about how
well lit a gas station is at night when you're pumping gas.''
-
- People striking up conversations in line at the supermarket,
with their neighbors, and on hotlines to crisis centers are talking about
how to keep themselves and their families safe. Dean H. Meyers, 53, shot
Wednesday after stopping for gas in Manasss, Va.,. was the seventh to die
in the shootings.
-
- Don Bassett, a former FBI instructor who trained agents
to be snipers, said people should make themselves difficult targets. Anyone
in an open area should keep moving - especially if the area is surrounded
by woods or rolling terrain, he said. Anyone getting out of a car should
avoid the most brightly lit areas of service stations or parking lots.
-
- Bassett said quiet, country roads may be safer than busy
streets for taking a walk or a jog. He calls schools and service stations
``target-rich areas'' because they see a constant flow of traffic.
-
- "I think he's picking targets of opportunity that
are more or less plums,'' Bassett said.
-
- People walking quickly are harder to shoot, he said.
-
- Plaster said people should also be aware when they're
standing in an area where they're visible from more than 80 to 100 yards
away. He said it's not difficult for a trained marksman to hit a target
from that distance.
-
- "I would try to be more alert, but at the same time
you have to go on with your life,'' Plaster said.
-
- Bassett said the sniper could be firing from up to 500
yards away.
-
- "I don't think people should be paranoid as they
go about their daily business, but I think they should be very aware of
what's around them,'' he said.

- Depending on whether jacketed shells are or are not used,
a standard bullet proof vest will not stop a 223.
- We have more or less silent choppers with sniffers that
can pinpoint the location of immediate gunfire. I am surprised they are
not currently deployed in the Washington area. Also, it is not just Hollywood
when it comes to our satellite asets. We have stationary satellites over
the Washington area that can view and monitor the city with ease. We should
ask why these assets are not in place to identify the shooter(s).

- Jeff,
-
- There seems that there is something that no one has thought
of, or at least said. There is a class of pistol that will more than do
what the DC sniper is doing. Single shot pistols in rifle calibers are
used to shoot prairie dogs at the 250-300 yard mark. The pulled shot on
the little boy is what made me think about pistols. The .223 round will
make the pistol much easier to use, but a pulled shot is more likely with
such a pistol. Also, it will be much easier to hide than a rifle.
-
- I just thought I would drop a line and put this out
to talk about.
