Quartzsite Police Chief Calls Oath Keepers and Tea Party “Terrorists” and Reports them to the FBI
Oath Keepers Response: “We’re your huckleberries, Chief!”
According to two confirmed eye witnesses, Quartzite Chief of Police Jeff Gilbert referred to the Oath Keepers, the Greater Phoenix Tea Party, and the Sons of Liberty Riders as “terrorists” during a public “coffee with the Chief” meeting on August 3, 2011. Reportedly, Chief Gilbert made the reference while discussing the upcoming August 27, 2011 rally that will be carried out by Oath Keepers, the Greater Phoenix Tea Party, and the Sons of Liberty Riders, telling the audience “”I take these terrorist threats very seriously and I have reported them to the FBI and anyone else who will listen.”
This was first reported by the Greater Phoenix Tea Party at http://phoenixteaparty.ning.com/profiles/blogs/greater-phoenix-tea-party-have
A public information request has been filed to secure the video and audio of the meeting. The Quartzite Chief of police is apparently following the playbook of the Southern Poverty Law Center, DHS, and of political elites, such as Joe Biden who recently compared the Tea Party to “terrorists.”
In response to the alleged statements of Chief Gilbert, Stewart Rhodes, Founder of Oath Keepers, said:
“If Chief Gilbert wants to label us “terrorists” simply for keeping our oaths to defend the Constitution, by using our natural right of free speech in support of good police officers who refused unlawful orders, and if he is going to label us “terrorists” for simply exercising our First Amendment protected right to peaceably assemble and petition government for a redress of grievances, – all rights that GOOD MEN fought and died to preserve - well then, all I have to say is “we’re your huckleberries” Chief. See you in Quartzsite folks! Our forefathers are watching. - Stewart Rhodes, Founder of Oath Keepers.”
The Oath Keepers are conducting a massive “Quartzsite Liberty Festival” on August 27, 2011 in support of the “Quartzsite Ten” – the oath keeping police officers who blew the whistle on Chief Gilbert for what they describe as gross violations of the rights of the people, including repeated false arrest and harassment of political opponents and abuse of the NCIC background check system to dig up dirt on political opponents and local activists. Also participating in the rally will be the Greater Phoenix Tea Party, Sons of Liberty Riders, Sons of Liberty, the Campaign for Liberty, and Arizona Ron Paul Meetup Groups, among others.

This SOB is completely off his rocker. Lunatic. Nuts. Crazed. Loo-loo-cracked.
But examine him closely because his reaction is typical of the jack-booted thug that underlies almost all Left-Liberal scholar-kings so soon as they detect the slightest whiff of non-compliance.
You see, not a one of them ever learned to master his own hormones, let alone his temper. Rather than self-discipline, they are volatile and violent, given to furious rage, attacking like the cornered animals they in fact are.
So this is a sign to keep up the pressure. Pile it on! We’re seeing the first of the whole insane lot crack their pots and soon all of them will follow into the loony bin. I’m serious! We must keep up the pressure before they use bureaucratic means, perfected in out day, to prevent us from even knowing their names let alone their addresses, emails, or anything personal about them, as they retreat into the machine.
And we out here become sitting ducks for them to blast to smithereens as they choose.

The signs of desperation are everywhere. Attack anyone, in any way, to keep them from exposing your own malfeasance and dishonesty. Remember Tricky Dick “I am not a criminal” Nixon? Or Spiro “Law and Order” Agnew? Both resigned in disgrace. Both political parties are rife with corruption, greed, and the lust for power. It is all about power and control. This Police Chief is truly desperate. We definitely need to keep the heat on him and his cronies.

“has anyone reported gilbert to the fbi?”
Yes. That has been done at least twice. Perhaps more …
As for us, our active duty and retired peace officers will be contacting several agencies, to counteract this smear, and will also very likely pen their written response directly to the Chief. Stay tuned! Should be interesting.
