We are Out of Time!
City of Hardin & surrounding area is now becoming a police state!

“Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.” Isaiah 60:1
“…We must remember: how we vote is how we will be visited. In the Greek, the word for ‘visitation’ is linked not only with the concept of overseeing but also with casting a vote. People who live in a nation with a democratic process that forms how they are governed are allowed by a holy God who rules the earth to choose their future. We, like Israel of old, can demand a king and then wake up one morning and see that those whom we have chosen have now made choices for us that are detrimental to our future…
As the word of God says in 1 Samuel 8:18, the Lord warned the people that if they chose a king who was not His choice, the following would happen: “You will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you in that day.” We can always make a choice that will be detrimental to our lives in days ahead…The factor of time causes our true hearts to be seen and the consequences of our choices to manifest.” (quote from ‘Redeeming the Time’ by Chuck Pierce)
THE SHAKING HAS BEGUN!
Dear Intercessors,
Things are moving so quickly and we are out of time! The spirit of Pharaoh has entered our land! We have found out that our little town of Hardin is the 'test town' for President Obama’s new law to privatize the police force of local communities. Last night, the city council voted to disband our sheriff’s department and to bring in a private security company to police the town.
Interestingly, earlier in the day, the mayor when asked in an interview about the privatization of our police department completely denied it and said that would not be done with out a council meeting. Then that evening, a council meeting was held in regards to that very thing. At the beginning of this month, our local prison signed an agreement with the American Police Force which is a subsidiary of a larger private security force that the U.S. used in the Iraq war and Hurricane Katrina.
Yesterday, a convoy of twelve 'blacked out' Mercedes Benz SUV’s were brought into town. They were already painted with Hardin’s colors and ‘Hardin Police Force’ was already painted on them! Hardin’s sheriff’s department will no longer be in operation after the month of October. During October, the Sheriff’s Department is to train this new security force in all the logistics of running the town of Hardin. If you go on the American Police Force site, you might notice that the logo they use is actually a Russian logo. I have been told that the man who came with this new security force as the captain, has a thick Russian accent.
Earlier this month, in an interview in regards to this Hardin prison and the training center that they are planning to build, we were told that seventy five percent of the security officers that were to be trained would be ‘international’.
This private security force is already patrolling the town. They had several people stopped yesterday. Also, it appears that they are building some type of heavy duty gate at the entrances of our town.
In an interview, the American Police Force security has stated that they will stay here one month to assess the population and then they will make their permanent base here. They said they are scouting out thirty towns in the U.S. but that Hardin is the first. Also, President Obama has authorized and signed a bill for full government funding of the privatization of the police departments throughout the U.S. By the end of October, it is their plan to have all major cities locked down!
In an interview with one of the city council members, he stated that this new H1N1 shot which has not been tested will be mandatory and if a resident of our town refuses, they will be taken to our prison where they will be quarantined. A federal law has been passed that makes it mandatory that all health care workers have to take this new shot. If they do not, they will automatically loose their jobs.
The new federal law that is in place makes gives you four choices in regards to this new shot. One, you can voluntarily take it or you can refuse and be taken to a place to be quarantined, or as an alternative; if you refuse, you can have a chip placed in you to track you or a tracking bracelet which cannot be taken off. The state borders will be manned and locked down in the near future in regards to this mandatory shot.
I am also told by a reliable source that today one of the managers at a local business in Hardin was visited by this new private security force which is now the new Hardin Police Department. He is an avid hunter and they came to inform him that they had a list of all fire arms that he owned; this includes all the residents of our town, and that he would need to take his guns down to have them put a marking device on them. Also, today, one of the main streets in Hardin was completely blocked off and they have been setting up information booths where they are passing out pamphlets with information on this new H1N1 shot.
Intercessors, I am not making up any of this information! You can go on the internet and verify most of this information from KULR 8, MSNBC or Fox news. Things have changed so quickly in the last 24 hours! Things are not and will never be the same. We are indeed going into the prophesied 'four years of captivity for America'. I believe we are about to enter into a time of persecution that the Church in America has never known! We must prepare! The good news is that this is also the time when the Glory of God will manifest itself in a way we have never known!
In His Service,

They aren’t taking over the police force, they are privatizing the jail.
Big difference.

HARDIN, Mont.—After arriving in this rural city with three Mercedes SUVs marked with the logo of a nonexistent police department, representatives of an obscure California security company said preparations were under way to take over Hardin’s never-used, $27 million jail.
Significant obstacles remain—including a lack of any prisoner contracts on the part of the company that wants to run the jail, American Police Force.
And on Friday came the revelation the company’s operating agreement for the facility has yet to be validated—two weeks after city leaders first unveiled what they said was a signed agreement.
Still, some Hardin leaders said the deal to turn over the 464-bed jail remained on track.
The agreement with American Police Force has been heavily promoted by members of the city’s economic development branch, the Two Rivers Authority. Authority Vice President Albert Peterson on Friday repeated his claim to be “100 percent” confident in the company.
The lead public figure for American Police Force, Michael Hilton, said more than 200 employees would be sought for the jail and a proposed military and law enforcement training center.
That would be a significant boost to Hardin, a struggling town of 3,500 located about 45 miles east of Billings. An earlier announcement that a job fair would be held during the last week never came to fruition.
The bonds used to pay for the jail have been in default since May,
Hilton also said he planned a helicopter tour of the region in coming days to look at real estate for a planned tactical military training ground. He said 5,000 to 10,000 acres were needed to complement the training center, a $17 million project.
But the company’s flashy arrival this week stirred new questions. The logo on the black Mercedes SUVs said “City of Hardin Police Department.”
Yet the city has not had a police force of its own for 30 years.
“Pretty looking police car, ain’t it?” Hardin resident Leroy Frickle, 67, said as he eyed one of the vehicles parked in front of a bed and breakfast where Hilton and other company representatives were staying. “The things you hear about this American Police, I don’t know what to think.”
Hilton said the vehicles would be handed over to the city if it forms a police force of its own. The city is now under the jurisdiction of the Big Horn County Sheriff’s Office.
After meeting briefly with Hilton on Friday, Mayor Ron Adams said he wanted the police logos removed.
“This helps, but it doesn’t answer everything until the contract is signed,” Adams said. “Talk is cheap.”
Hilton said the company’s arrival in Hardin would help allay such concerns. And he promised that on Feb. 1, 2010, Hardin would receive its first check under a deal said to be worth more than $2.6 million annually.
Little has been revealed to date about American Police Force. The company was incorporated in California in March, soon after Hardin’s empty jail gained notoriety after city leaders suggested it could be used for the Guantanamo Bay terrorism detainees.
Members of Montana’s congressional delegation say they have been closely monitoring the events in Hardin, but the city has largely been going it alone.
In the two years since the jail was built, city leaders have clashed repeatedly with the administration of Gov. Brian Schweitzer, who opposed efforts to bring in out-of-state prisoners.
After then-Attorney General Mike McGrath issued a 2007 opinion saying prisoners from other states were prohibited, Hardin successfully sued the state.
Despite the city’s contention that the state has continued to foil its efforts to find prisoners, Montana Department of Corrections spokesman Bob Anez said his agency is no longer involved. “That’s water under the bridge,” Anez said.
On Friday, American Police Force announced its first local hire: a reporter for the Billings Gazette, Becky Shay, who has covered events surrounding the jail since its construction. She will be the company’s spokeswoman for $60,000 a year.
Shay said she intended to bring new transparency to the process, but declined to directly answer the first question posed to her: Where is American Police Force getting the money to operate the jail and build the training center?
“I know enough about where the money is coming from to be confident signing on with them,” she said.
Gazette Editor Steve Prosinski said he was first informed about Shay’s decision to leave the paper on Friday. “We weren’t aware that she was talking with them about employment,” he said.
Hilton said he also had a job discussion with Kerri Smith, wife of Two Rivers Authority Executive Director Greg Smith, who helped craft the deal to bring American Police Force to Hardin. Greg Smith was placed on unpaid leave two weeks ago for reasons that have not been explained.
Kerri Smith is one of two finalists in the city’s mayoral race. Hilton said he asked her to call him about possible employment if she did not win the race.
Kerri Smith could not be reached immediately for comment. A message was left by The Associated Press at a theater owned by the Smith family. Her home number is unlisted.
This is the part where I’m supposed to stand up and yell “WOLVERINES!!!”, right?
Can we get a little more background and a little less hysteria on this please?
}:-)4
Steven Quayle is on Coast to Coast am now and then talking about Illuminati, Giants, & Dead Microbiologists.. Enough said, right? ;)
Please tell me this is some kind of sick joke.
“city council voted to disband our sheriff’s department” uhhh sheriff’s department’s are elected and are NOT answerable to city councils. I call B*LLSH*T!
I’ve got some family in Eastern Montana who might shed some light on things. I’ll call tonight. That Steve Quayle fellow sounds like he drinks too much coffee. Still...
This is interesting! Please keep us informed!
Not much internet information on the “American Police Force”
This is that town that built a prison on speculation and was recently trying to get the Gitmo terrorists transferred there. Looks like they got a private security company to run their prison.
whats the url?
[loose their jobs]
Sorry, you lost me right there.
Ok, everyone needs to calm down.

This story about American Police Force is shaping up to be a quite wonderful little scandal. It’s perhaps a little early to offer a definitive statement of the facts so I’ll constrain myself to reasonable interpretations and point out that this is very much personal supposition, opinion, not a definitive statement of facts.
But I would start by saying that American Police Force and their contract to run the empty jail in Hardin, Montana, well, it looks like a group of small time entrepreneurs (not that there’s anything wrong with being a small time entrepreneur, I am one myself) who have bitten off rather more than they can chew.
Let’s start with the complaints over at Prison Planet:
A private security force whose biggest role is helping the U.S. government to “combat terrorism” is now patrolling the streets of a town in Montana, acting as law enforcement but accountable to nobody and operating completely outside the limitations of the U.S. constitution in a chilling throwback to the brownshirts of Nazi Germany.
No, this isn’t the second coming of the Nazis, no it isn’t black helicopters from the UN or anything like that. It’s something much more prosaic and amusing than that. From Billings, Montana, here’s a reasonable over view of what the American Police Force story is:
BILLINGS - The jail in Hardin has been empty for about two years, but on September 4th officials with the Two Rivers Authority, the economic development agency that paid for the facility, signed a contract with a private police firm called American Police Force to fill the jail.
“I think it’s a great situation,” said Al Peterson the Vice President of Two Rivers Authority. “I have found these people to be wonderful community partners.”
The company’s website states the U.S. government is their biggest client, but an Associated Press search of two comprehensive federal government contractor databases turned up no record of American Police Force.
So what did AP find out about American Police Force?
The Associated Press has raised questions about the legitimacy of American Police Force. Government contract databases show no record of the company, and security industry representatives and federal officials said they have never heard of it. However, representatives of security trade groups said added secrecy was prevalent in the industry and it was possible the company had avoided the public limelight.
The company’s Web site lists as its East Coast headquarters a building in Washington near the White House that holds “virtual offices.” A spokeswoman for the building said American Police Force’s application to use the address is pending, but incomplete.
OK, so it’s either a shell company, a brand new one of a recently incorporated subsidiary of another one. There’s more from AP as well:
The lead public figure for American Police Force, Michael Hilton, said more than 200 employees would be sought for the jail and a proposed military and law enforcement training center.
That would be a significant boost to Hardin, a struggling town of 3,500 located about 45 miles east of Billings. An earlier announcement that a job fair would be held during the last week never came to fruition.
Hilton also said he planned a helicopter tour of the region in coming days to look at real estate for a planned tactical military training ground. He said 5,000 to 10,000 acres were needed to complement the training center, a $17 million project.
Ah, now, this is all becoming depressingly familiar. I cannot of course prove anything here, but this has that smell of cow manure (the male kind, you know) that surrounds so many grand plans put forward by small businesses and would be owners of large businesses. Forgive me if I don’t detail all of my experiences right here but I’ve seen this kind of grandeur in the UK, Russia and the US: it’s more common than many would normally think.
Mike Young picks up on some interesting details:
In April 2009, Two Rivers Authority and the Hardin City Council started looking into housing enemy combatants currently detained in Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo), Cuba. A few weeks later (May 15th), a business called the American Police Force (”APF”) registers the domain name AmericanPoliceGroup.com. The next thing you know, APF is trying to contract to build a $27 million private jail and police training center.
(Note that that website appears to be down.)
However, there’s another company registered with similar addresses, on the same server, with personnel in common. The excellent Kevin Flaherty has been looking around at documents. Have a look at that first link for that’s what I think pretty much explains it all. There’s also this, which is a list of contracts performed by what I assume is a related company.
We need add only one more point: I have been on the periphery of this sort of business for the past 18 years: no, not myself supplying the US Government or law enforcement agencies but several business associates have been. Everything from American police cars to the Russian police forces of cities in Siberia to supplying Soviet era (and later) tanks to the US Army. This isn’t my area of expertise, but it is something I know about.
That list of contracts is indicative of what they’ve been doing. The US military is fighting two wars at present and the entire logistics train is very stretched. So there are a lot of contracts, small stuff, which gets hired out to just about anybody willing to do the work. If you actually run the numbers, around $30 million of contracts since 2004 is $5 million a year or so of total sales. There’s competition for this sort of work so gross margins on sales (they’re providing goods here, don’t forget, not just their labor) tend to be in the 20% range.
So we’re talking about a company here with maybe $1 million a year to spend on salaries, profits, overheads and so on. Nice work if you can get it but it’s not by any means instant riches: there will be a lot more than just one person eating out of that sum.
So what do I think is happening here with American Police Force? I emphasize again that this is opinion, a piecing together of inherent knowledge and publicly available facts, not proof perfect that this indeed what is happening.
We’ve a small time operator feeding on the scraps and tail end of the Pentagon’s logistics chain: the sort of contracts they’ve been doing look remarkably similar to what one associate of mine was doing a decade ago. There are myriads of these companies out there at the moment, all scrapping to get these small contracts.
They saw that Hardin, Montana, had built this jail but had no prisoners to put into it. The bonds issued to pay for the jail are in default. So, how hard could it be to construct a story that would fly with the Town Manager?
“Yes, yes, we’ll sort it all out for you. We’ve great experience. Don’t worry, just sign the contract.”
In the tradition of so many of these small companies, it’s all about getting the contract first. Worry about how to perform, how to complete the contract, once it’s all been signed.
I doubt very much indeed if this bodes well for the filling up of that empty prison with paying convicts.
The one person I might actually feel sorry for is the local newspaper reporter who quit her job to become the press liaison officer for American Police Force on $60,000 a year. I doubt those checks are going to be coming in for all that long darling: you might want to make sure you’re still on good terms with your ex-editor.
It looks like they were running a scam.
The home office was a mail drop “virtual office” in DC. Their other office was in a low-rent office building in Santa Ana, CA shared with a law office.
There was no evidence they had any real contracts.
There was a thread on this subject last night.
The Steve Quayle stuff sounds like hysterics with no basis in fact. There are several news stories with no evidence of the disbanding the Sheriff’s office, just the “police department” stickers on the SUVs.
Hopefully I found all of the threads....
