Summary: TweetIf You Have Served Before, Serve Now. Recently Stewart Rhodes published an article on the Oath Keepers website called, Oath Keepers is Going “Operational” by Forming Special “Civilization Preservation” Teams. I find the general theme to be very positive, however many very clearly got the wrong message. In his article, Stewart says, “We urge you to presume the worst in the short term, and to work in three or four month sprints – assume that a collapse will be triggered this fall/winter and do all you can to get yourselves and your communities ready.“ Sadly many people read that to say, “The end is coming in 3-4 months and we have intel saying that is the case“ THAT IS NOT what it said. I also know directly from Stewart that it isn’t the case. In fact before reading the article myself I told Stewart he needed to be very careful in what he was saying. Frankly I thought that is what the article said because getting ready for my trip I had yet to read it myself. Frankly I thought this because I had received dozens of hysterical emails saying that was the case. When I read the article I did my typical, “damn, how do people draw these conclusions from this?”, that I do about 20 times a day. Now blogs and alternative news sights are fricken buzzing with “the end is near” BS and using Stewart’s article as “proof” and spinning it vs. reporting on it. The fact is this is very important and it is sad man in alternative media seem just as addicted to perception bias and yellow journalism as the lame stream media. Today as a founding member of Oathkeepers and personal friend of Mr. Rhodes I intend to clear some of the confusion up, talk about what is great about the plan and what might make it better.
