Thread (video link at the end if you'd rather watch):

1) Military, law enforcement & intelligence community veterans are drawing our line in the sand...

2) Some of you may know me as a former Green Beret who writes books & articles, some of you may know me as a loudmouth on social media, and some of you may not know me at all...

3) I’m coming to you now as one of the founding members of @1st_praetorian , a group of military, law enforcement & intel community veterans who refuse to stand on the sidelines and watch as our country men & women are intimidated from expressing their first amendment rights in-

4) a nation whose Constitution enshrines those very God-given rights.

There’s a reason the 1st amendment is the 1st listed in the Bill of Rights, as it most defines us as Americans - our freedom to express our political ideas, religion, thoughts & beliefs as we see fit...

5) It’s arguably the thing that most separates us from the rest of the world, as people are being arrested in the UK & Australia for FB posts that go against the gov't.

But if you’ve been paying attention, you know that our 1st Amendment rights are currently under attack...

6) There are Marxist & leftist politicians aiming to lock down total control over our populace.

Their tyrannical, Marxist subversive groups such as ANTIFA & BLM demand total subservience to and adulation of their specific view of the world, and our corrupted Main Stream Media-

7) does their best to tarnish the reputation and destroy the lives of any public or private citizen who dares step up to them or fight back against their narrative.

But we’ve drawn our line in the sand, and we, as a group, are not going to take or allow it anymore...

8) If you’re a military, law enforcement or intelligence community veteran who believes that your oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign & domestic never expired, we’re looking for you...

9) If you’re sick of standing by and watching as Marxist groups attack, harass & intimidate other Americans from expressing their First Amendment rights, we’re looking for you.

If you’re looking for glory or a payday, this ain’t for you...

10) We have our first mission, and we’re seeking volunteers to join us in protecting the rights of our American countrymen & women to freely express their political views...

11) The Walkaway Campaign is hosting a march & large event in Washington, DC from October 2nd - 4th with a large number of high-profile, conservative VIPs speaking & attending.

ANTIFA is planning their, “Siege on the White House” in DC from September 17 - November 5th...

12) Boots on the Ground Bikers for Trump will be helping with physical security for this event as well, but we are seeking cool-headed veterans for our group to help with physical security, intelligence/surveillance and to serve as team leaders for small security & intelligence -

13) cells at the event.

There will be a healthy vetting process, so be prepared to provide additional information if/when needed.

If interested, email: [email protected]

14) Because of the politically-charged nature of this event, we will keep your names confidential and our personnel records & communications will be encrypted.

If you don’t have the time or ability to join us physically at the event, we'll be launching a crowdfunding campaign-

15) to help provide protective gear for our volunteers (gas masks not COVID masks), legal top cover for our people, surveillance equipment to provide CYA & documentation at these events for our legal team or law enforcement & to help pay our volunteers’ travel...

16) If we can raise enough via crowdfunding, we will continue our operations to provide security for other patriotic events who fear intimidation for expressing their political beliefs, support & opinions...

17) This group was formed to protect attendees at President Trump’s campaign rallies, and if those go back into full swing we plan on being there to provide our services.

18) You can help by joining our cause physically, donating to the crowdfunding campaign when it goes live or by simply sharing this to friends & family to spread our message.

19) Our website will be up soon, but for now if you wish to join us, email your name & current phone number to: [email protected].

Our message is simple: this is our country, and our country is the last bastion of freedom for the rest of the world...

20) We’re not letting it go without a fight.

Counterinsurgency activated.

Deo et patriae – For God and country.

Thank you for the outpouring of support and the men & women who’ve stepped up to volunteer or offer assistance.

There is a large volume of engagement here (and we’ve already caught twitter deleting RTs ), so if I don’t respond to a comment, I’m sorry - there are a lot of them
