This came to me today from a CT group to which I belong INTEL REPORT - 3/21/13 STATUS: CONFIRMED This report was sent to the Frontiersmen maybe a week ago. I passed it to our Pennsylvania units and they have just reported back that they have spoken to the land owner directly and he confirms this report is 100% accurate. So I repost it here for dissemination. ------------------------------------------------------ Thomas Donald Spread this far and wide: I have a friend Bob Hanna in Conneaut Lake, PA who over the last 2 weeks has been observing military operations on private property. What he has seen has been UH-1 (Bell Helicopter's Hewey Transport) helicopters with soldiers repelling out of them into remote areas of private property, and setting up tents. Yesterday he, his step-father and uncle went out to investigate since they were on his step-father's land. They were escorted back to their house by soldiers who instructed them to "stay out of the forest." Last night Bob went back out to investigate further and found their tent set up in what is clearly marked as private property, and also said he saw lab equipment he didn't recognize. The other sightings in his area have all been near sources of potable water. Bob has elected to go back out today, armed, and demand the trespassers immediately remove themselves from the private property before they are forcibly ejected. I was asked to pass this information on to as many people as I can. I am going to assume that most people who see this may know someone who knows someone who lives in or near that area of Crawford County, PA. Please be advised, people: regardless of what Eric Holder wrote to Senator Paul in his letter last week, the military is performing exercises on private property, on AMERICAN SOIL where they are banned BY THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS from performing maneuvers.
A long way from here, have heard nothing. The landowner has some leverage if it is trespass as indicated, surprised no mention was made of contact with the Sheriff's office. If they have it, I'd like a contact to confirm with on the ground here.
It doesn't surprise me a bit for PA --folks are often treated like common slaves, and I can attest that it's quite easy to get away with most of it. Hopefully we can find out more and possibly hold *somebody* accountable, unless this was an official operation which was warranted (for whatever reason).
That's crazy. My ex-wife is from Crawford County (Conneautville). It's a real sleepy place up there and a lot of stuff would likely go unnoticed.
First thing I thought when reading that was that the military will forget their oath and get all gunho with the civilians population if told to. Second thought was WTF are they doing? A lab? I find it interesting that there is not a follow up report from a week ago. The guy was going in to basically remove them... no hear from since??? Did he get NDAA'ed???
Yeah, That's pretty much it, You have to hang around awhile to learn my slang and language..No doubt da moose is loose !!!
Motomom34, you are one of the few member's I haven't had the pleasure of meeting. I drop in from time to time when I'm not foraging or visiting one of my many SM friends. Nice to finally meet you
Greeting my friend. Just to set the record straight, I am in no way involved in the Pennsylvania events. I was last in that fair state while trying to find my buddy Brokor but his opsec was a little too much for me to crack
Ahh, I agree. Broker is there one minute and the next, Who know's ? I have never made real contact. ( I suspect he's a ghost rider ) Back on the Penn. thing, Picture's, Sheriff dept. State boy's, What up ?
Sounds like a National Guard or a Reserve operation for training with UH-1's. If it was SF or other active duty- doing some insertion type operations, they would have used blackhawks most likely or CH-47's. Does not smell like active duty but more like weekend warrior stuff. The lab item is interesting though... keep us posted.
Yea, I was surprised that the Land Owner didn't have the County Sheriff out there, right after he was escorted off his Own Land... along with a couple of those Mobile News Crews with the SAT Trucks.... Wouldn't that make a GREAT STORY on the 6 0'Clock News... "County Sheriff arrests US Military for Criminal Trespassing... Film at 11"
If it was the guard they could have benn in the wrong spot and not known it. The army guard has some mobile lab units that check water quality, fuel, etc...
I have a phone number and address for Mr. Hanna if someone wants to do a wellness check. Also it appears he is a junior, His dad is 19 years older and I have info on him at a different address as well.
