APF In Hardin

Tools

By Nick Lough

BILLINGS - American Police Force officials showed up in Mercedes SUV's that had "Hardin Police" stenciled on the vehicles. The twist, the city of Hardin doesn't have a police department.

Two Rivers Authority officials say having APF patrol the streets was never part of their agenda. "I have no idea. I really don't because that's not been a part of any of the discussions we've had with any of them," said Two Rivers Authority's Al Peterson.

As it stands now the Big Horn County Sheriff's Department is contracted to patrol the city and APF has no jurisdiction. If that was changed Peterson says it would have to go through the city council.

As for the jail contract with APF, both sides are yet to agree to a deal as bondholders rejected it again on Thursday morning. "It's a complicated issue there are a lot of tax laws to work through we were hoping to get it by Tuesday night now we're hoping to get it by Friday night," said Peterson.

Officials say the contract only deals with the detention facility and a police training center. There's no mention of a homeless shelter, animal shelter, or any services for the area.

"That was never in the contract to begin with. I think it was on a wish list of what Captain Michael wanted to do here," said Peterson. American Police Force officials plan to stay in the area for the next month.

They use the serbian crest as their own.... I have no problem with PMC's, but they should not be utilized as an everyday Police force within the U.S.

This facility would be acquired with the intent to train FOREIGN security forces, and has nothing to do with any conspiracy. These foreign security forces guard mostly private individuals and corporate facilities. Their clients are guys like Russian oligarchs, Middle-eastern princes, etc. This has nothing to do with America or the US government.

y'all are world class loonies up there in Montana! Must be bored, I guess. Try getting a real job and doing real work - will help the paranoia. Nobody is being forced to take the flu shots, and nobody is being put in concentration camps. Are you people out of your minds? I think it's time YOU wake up and realize how completely foolish you look. The whole world is laughing at you (thanks to the internet).

It should be painfully obvious to every American that their electoral processes have been corrupted, and their 'elected' leaders at the highest levels have been compromised. Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama...they all serve the same masters. Stop infighting about nonsense. Kill your TV and educate yourself already. There is no excuse for ignorance in this information-rich age; not in this country. The Powers That Be have laid a trap for us. Be wary, and be fully prepared, but wait for the proper time.

Isn’t it time this story come to an end, isn’t it time good judgement prevails, isn’t it about time that people with good sense step to the fore and end this? What about all of these stupid local players, including Al Peterson, Becky Shay, Kelli Smith, the entire Two Rivers Board and the Hardin City Council, Hardin Mayor Ron Adams? They all need to be sent away on a rail NOW! Why do they continue still to seek others to look at a bogus contract with a fraud?

Serbs suffered from nazis horrendously. Along with Jews, Russians, Poles and Roma, we lost too many people, and we stood up to the nazis the first in occupied Europe the first place in the whole continent liberated from nazis, was Serbian town of Loznica, as early as in August 1941). Our only mainstream friction occured between pro-Soviet and pro-Western forces. Linking general Serbian WW2-attitude with nazis in any way, is just a loathsome insult to hundreds of thousands of Serbian victims.

Sunday, Oct 4 at 4:41 PM A Serb wrote ...

Also, policy of dealing with Italians was of the fact that the Italians (in return for an appeasement) stopped the Croat nazis' massacres against Serbs in the areas of Italian ocuupational zone, and many Serbs and Jews were saved by that (there are still living people who can testify). Chetniks hadn't had any kind of ideological pact with them. Simply, they had to out-maneoeuvre the lesser-evil by appeasing it. There is much stuff on the WW2 Balkans in English, do a check.

Sunday, Oct 4 at 4:31 PM A Serb wrote ...

And let's not engage in an unnecessary of-topic here. Just google some fact out, about WW2 in the Balkans, the Jasenovac concentration camp (where HUNDREDS of thousands of Serbs, and tens of thousands of Jews and Roma perished in obscene savagery of Croat nazis), and about nazi policy in Serbia of killing ONE HUNDRED Serbian civilians for ONE killed German soldier. Also, check out something on Halyard Mission (where Chetniks saved 500 US pilots, despite German retributions).

Sunday, Oct 4 at 4:27 PM A Serb wrote ...

Anyhow, many of the photos you refer to, were DOCTORED after the WW2. Simply, Chetniks and Communists were both fighting nazis, but the former belonged to the nationalist and democratic bloc, loyal to monarchy, while the communists were against it (our king and govt. were exiled in London during the war). There was a small fraction of treacherous Chetniks, who were regularly punished by Chetnik regulars. They are on the pics, plus some bearded Italians whom that liar tries to peddle as "Serbs"

Sunday, Oct 4 at 4:20 PM A Serb wrote ...

Mike, you should do a check-up on your sources before falling for such blatant lies. Do you speak Serbian (or, as that Bosnian Muslim blogger calls it "Bosnian")? He started his little rant by calling Serbs SLAVES and SERVES (which was and still is the favorite racist joke of the nazi progeny throughout Balkans, whose fathers and grandpas in nazi uniforms were slaughtering Serbs, Jews and Roma in concentration camps, while using the racist slurs against them)

I don't say that Croats didn't cooperate with nazis, yes they did! But serbs cooperated with nazis too!

Hardin has been had by a known con artist.

Socialism monopolizes that which could operate under a true free market. The police is no place to run the free market, unless the people have agreed. Privatizing state functions is not socialism - more like fascism. Private cops are for private property. Bad precedent, but that is what local government does best: experiment with policy.

You want to use the jail, do it with a legitimate company who will so you who they are. This whole thing stinks.

Serbian coat of arms is not appropriate to be used by foreign organizations.

So they found out that the founder of the organization is a criminal with a history of fraud. So... what now? Is the APF is still there? If you live in montana, you should really get a video camera and a group of friends and try to confront these guys to get some answers and educate the rest of us as to what is going on. This looks to me like a CON job, but if it persists... than either your local leaders are idiots or this is something bigger than a con job. btw, the nwo is bipartisan.

Narrow it down. Its either a con job, robbing your town. Or its the federal govt. Not just obama but obviously the elite, "New World Order" as much as I hate that term. Bush got rid of most of your rights, Obama may be carrying the torch... 9/11 was an inside job, btw. You need to get educated fast... If this persists we have a real problem here. This could be some sort of police state. If the founder is a fraud, are they still staying for the month? cause that would be bad, to say the least.

This happened because the folks who oversee the Hardin facility were 'hungry' to get it going and filled. You know the old rule - 'never go shopping when you are really hungry' If you do, you will not be choosy in what you buy. This is perfect territory for con artists. When there is desperation, we tend to ignore lil warning signs or other things. This deal smells rotten. Someone there needs to step up and end this. it will only get worse.

Something is very wrong here. I read a post on here a couple of days ago that was sending out an SOS about the situation in Hardin.

Don't sound like they are there to run a prison or what ever is being said. I know what I read and now I hear all this other crap. Hey, you want to sit there and do nothing? The real TRUTH NOW!

Does Hardin really know who this company is? APF was incorporated only 6 months ago. It set up it's website last May and registered it through a proxy service that hides the registrant's name. The website looks amateurish and contains multiple misspellings, very general wording and advertises years of experience with no details whatsoever. Is Hardin being taken for a ride? Who sold Hardin that prison deal? Do you really want a private militia renting it? Website is americanpolicegroup.com

That TWO-HEADED EAGLE IS A MASONIC (FREEMASONS) SYMBOL. Esther, Many governors in the U.S. are part of the cabal (globalists, one-worlders, whatever you want to call them). That's just one of the ways that this country has been sold out.

Didn't Montana pass the law that enforces their 10th amendment right regarding guns and ammo made in the state and not shipping over state lines? Is this the Federal Govt response???? Time for all State Governors to take a trip to DC!!!!!

"Montana, the last best place", now joins the LEFT Coast... or does it!? Wait til lead flies! See who runs away - remember Waco? Where governments arrayed against a religious compound full of unarmed innocents, and they (gov't agents) had the audacity to say "we're under siege" in order to get the green light to shoot? We all saw how well THAT turned out now didn't we!? "Audacity of hope" my a**!

Our sheriff department serves our small town here in Iowa, but we know who they are. They are our neighbor and friends. I think if the new police are strangers, look for another Ruby Ridge.

They are impersonating an officer, the sheriff should arrest them immediately and charge them. If you or I did that there would be no news report other then to tell us that we had been arrested for impersonating an officer. I dare any law abiding citizen in Hardin to put Hardin police on the side of their cars and see if they don't get arrested immediately.

You guys need to go down town and DEMAND they be removed and Also contact your senator and your Governor and ask what the hell is going on with this. You need to get out of control. Infowars.com just broke this story and is letting people know about it. People YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING and DO IT NOWWWWWWW!. Stand UP and demand action.

As Montanan’s send APF away on a rail, Kerri Smith, Becky Shay, the Two Rivers Board and the Hardin City Council should all go with them. Shame on them!

Brown shirts in Montana. Sounds like a movie that needs to have a real big dramatic ending. Like all of them being arrested for treason and tried on TV. Hey illegal unconstitutional cops if you want to hang on to your summer home, sail boat or car collection you'd best leave because when they sue you in civil court, after your treason trial, they are going to take everything you have as you head off to a prison.

Monday, Sep 28 at 7:59 PM Tyler wrote ...

The APF wouldn't need any jurisdiction then would they being a private security firm any more than the guys who watch the mall at night need jurisdiction in their town. They need only be certified by the state. Based out of Washington DC I'm sure they have their paperwork in order. But seeing as how it smacks of gestapoism I'd say I personally would not feel the need to follow any orders they issue. As if they were any private citizen if they lay hands on me I'd feel right in defending myself

Citizens of Montana, demand answers now and I mean right now. They violated state and federal laws by impersonating police officers from the logo on their vehicles. You have very limited time to stop this either crazy group or scam from ruining your town. Stand up now!!

As a "sheep" from NY I can assure you that we are loaded for bear here. We'll be watching this with great interest because you may be right about this being a test run. Please give 'em hell and know that there's millions of us in the Northeast who love liberty and won't let it fall. They still let us have guns here and mine are ready to start blazin'. Good luck.

Somebody up there better start asking some hard questions real fast! Otherwise you folks in Hardin (and Montana) are going to find yourselves in some deep doo-doo; allowing an apparently unlicensed private security company to act as a certified Police Dept. The APF website carries absolutely no info on licenses and authorizations.

Monday, Sep 28 at 6:22 PM Matilda wrote ...

The time has come! It is time that the citizens of not just Hardin, but all of Montana, stand up and say we don't want you here if you cannot tell us, or will not tell us, who you are! Enough is enough!! You won't tell us where your money comes from or who owns you...this is stupid!

It would be interesting to see who owns apf, maybe another Eric Prince? Mr Blackwater, they are in Pakistan already doing targeted killings, it is sicksick.

The NWO pinkos are testing a state of hardy people to see how this will work on the sheep in MA, CA, NY, NJ, etc. They will poison and kill civilians while the fraud bankster gentiles known as Khazars set offshore laughing about how theyv'e destroyed America. If hell exists I hope the International banksters go to the deepest pits there.

This story is going around the country. It's startling. Even the possibility of a private police force in America's small towns is enough to make your blood run cold. Police and sheriff's departments should be manned by neighbors, not mercenaries. Wow, scary.

Monday, Sep 28 at 10:11 AM Patriot wrote ...

My question is who is the AFP? Are they a sworn Law Enforcement Officers and if so who swore them in and under what or who's jurisdiction? If they are not sworn Law Enforcement Officers than they are criminals and I would/will resist them with and and all necessary force as I would any criminal.

This APF is not what the town of Hardin had in mind for the use of that eye sore in our town. I have a young family and live in Hardin and have for my whole life, these people who are supporting this are like a flock of sheep heading to slaughter. If these public records are not being shown shouldn't that raise a question. If this goes down the way it is looking dear MR. Al Peterson better start looking for a new job and some were else to live.

The point isn't being scared or this being religious... The point is the fact that you are being told to GET a vaccination or go to a concentration camp. FYI it's going on in Oklahoma also. Getting a vaccination should be your choice, not the government's. Your freedoms are being slowly taken away! When are you frogs going to get out of the boiling water and realize that something is wrong before you get cooked alive? Fight for your freedom! Don't let more if it be taken away!

Pay attention, the simularities between Nazi Germany and the U.S. lately are obvious to the open mind. It is no coincidence the schools indoctornate our youth and an out of state police force patrols. The denial of ...it can't happen here ... needs to be shaken off. It's happening a little more each day nothing real major but slowly as to not gain to much attention.

If the American Police Force...or, whatever they choose to call themselves...refuses, along with the Two Rivers Authority officials, to disclose who they are, where they obtain their funding, who their principals are, and what they really do for a living....Well, folks of the entire State of Montana, it is time to say...Get out of our state and don't come back!!!!!!!!!! Think about a foreign police force, money laundering, the Patriot Act, terrorism and then think about our own back yard...
