Isis camp 8 miles from texas border
« on: April 15, 2015, 08:01:39 AM »
Our president's lack of action to protect our sovereign nation's border is being exploited. It is only a matter of time before we have to fight Isis on our soil.

This was also reported in the Washington times and world net daily.

From my point of view these ISIS groups are operating just like intelligence services and special operations military folks.

What you don't read, is that we are doing the same thing to them. We just need leadership strong enough to commit to a joint Classified military operation to take out these cells while FBI targets the known operators. In a case like this we all know that we only need a few prisioners to interrogate...

But folks at Ft. Bliss, Nate, had better be on the prep. Believe it or not even though this is a huge military unit stationed there, they are not in combat posture, i.e. deployed. They are actually an easy target as opposed to the armored juggernaut they are on the move with their M1 tanks and Bradley's, supported by aviation and Nate's boys. Nope in garrison posture you could burn up all the tanks in a single night with some gasoline because they are all parked together.
For that reason the huge Army footprint there means very little against limited strikes. My money, having come from that world, would be on the ISIS crap heads successfully pulling off many successful attacks in that region and basically causing a pull-off of US population from that part of the border.
Around that time sever thousand guys including me will gather up our own weapons and take the fight to them if our government won't.

That's my point Don. We have to prepare ourselves for the eventuality that we will have to take action. This is close to home for me as a Texan. Already there are parts of the US where it is not advisable to be within 10 miles of the border.  How does our government respond?  By putting up signs that advise us to stay out of the area.

I hear ya bro!

But you know what the boys in my old unit would call those ISIS rag heads?

?????


Training aids!


No amount of those mentally twisted rag heads would ever stand against determined real Americans. Sure they'd wade through the millions of 99%ers, but would discover they made a poor choice when they ran into a number of guys such as yourself.

That's the way they were in Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of the time they were amped up on something to give them "Courage" or the Taliban held their children as hostage while they blew themselves up to try and save their boy's life. Mostly, they were very poor fighters and we almost always kicked their butt and quick. Yes they are good at starting a fight, but at the end of the day we were the ones going back to the mess hall to eat our spaghetti!

ISIS and the rest of radical Islam is only effective because our leadership is allowing it for some reason. If we were in the business of protecting our nation you would be able to have Sunday picnics in those same infested areas.

The truth is that in practice our federal government has become aloof and is controlled by some fringe, well financed sect of our society. The actions of the feds do not reflect concern for its citizens any longer. ISIS camps near the US border. Intake of tens of thousands of refugees, Muslim refugees from Syria, allowing Iran to build a nuclear weapon(s). Loss of control of our borders. Suing the individual states when their will contradicts the will of the ruling elite.

My take: The United States died when the people elected a socialist/communist inspired president. Our people, too stupid to realize what is happening ushered in a parts comparable to the Nazis and the Stalinists and Mao and his boys. This communist regime is dissolving and writing over all that we held precious. Our security: Gone. Our Financial might: Gone, with trillions in debt owed to our enemies. Our Christian sanctity: Killed in courtrooms and legislatures everywhere who rush to usher in gay rights and same sex unions. Our military strength: Now less than half of what it was when the communists took us over. And with our ranks, leadership has changed. It now has to be political, careful not to run against the grain of the ruling elite for fear of not getting promoted. Soldiers who used to be warriors now ask permission from daddy if they can shoot, and gays openly serve in our ranks which if the truth be known sickens the other 95% of us who serve and served honorably.

The list goes on and on, but more and more the statement I made 6 years ago seems to be true. Back then I said, "We are not going to be taken over and conquered, we already have been."

Enjoy your pizza and "dancing with the stars" because soon, that is all you'll have!

There are two mag patterns, Armalite and DPMS.  Go with the Armalite version and unless you are wanting 1MOA accuracy or better, then what ever you find cheapest.  They are all within mil spec and will get the job done.  Just remember to disassemble and stake the butt tube and bolt carrier.  Stay away from piston driven crap.  It's marketing hype (IMO, and yes I will probably get crap for that)

Nothing wrong with either one, however you'll find more of a selection of parts in the DPMS pattern rifles than Armalite. Either one of those rifles will function, all depends on how much you are willing to spend.
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are.  Take the appropriate action, Execute!

Sorry Tex for messin' up your serious thread.......you hit a sore spot when you mentioned those stupid signs they put up. We have them as much as 60 miles from the border, not far from my town.

I heard this yesterday and my first thought is why we aren't going after them. But then I remember we sure don't want to upset the mexican gov as we allow them to venture in here anyway without saying a word.

Heck, just shoot a few rockets in there and be done with it. I mean they do that to Israel all the time and no one says much.

I don't think America is dead, but we are in a coma for sure. Some of our senses work but not enough to wake up the body. I just hope when (if) we wake up we only have to fight off a small infection and not battle a major disease.

I'm late getting to this party...

I've always lusted after this one

The DPMS AP4

I'd scope it, since it's a 7.62, thereby dropping the carry handle
Then a descent hand grip and a better butt stock. I have all those things laying around so no big deal for me...

I got to looking at the Ruger SR762, but I am OK with gas driven guns since the only piston gun I ever used/carried at war was an AK. All my AR guns were gassers.

This gun is selling for $1339 on line where I looked

This is one of my AR-10s.  Noveske with a Nightforce F1.  You can absolutely OWN everything within 700 meters with this gun.  I bought this one after my first competition where I got smoked by a SWAT team member with an AR-10.  My bolt gun was much, much better from 700-1200 but most real world engagements (and the engagements in the competition) all happened within 150-700 meters and required quick transitions and follow up so a good semi was the key to a good score.  G21 for close up, AR-15 SBR out to 100 and beyond that, its AR-10.  My 300 WM will get it done from the next zip code, but as a Marine sniper friend of mine said " beyond 700 meters, I would rather not give away my hide location.  I'll unwrap a Snickers and phone in an air strike"


Bobby is right, the new Bushmaster, POF and Remington use the DPMS pattern.  Armalite uses an M14 pattern mag because it was designed during the assault weapon ban period. Still a great option for non free states.

I'm partial to the Armalite.

Yes, staking means taking a flat chisel blade and striking the screw and adjacent part so that it creates a deformity causing an interference between the parts so that it cannot work its way out under repeated vibrations.

The DPMS AP4

This gun is selling for $1339 on line where I looked

You can find the AP4 barrels and etc online, and assemble it yourself. It'll be cheaper than buying a completed one off the rack. I know you'd end up changing the buttstock (like you mentioned), but I also know you'd end up changing the foregrip, so no point buying something you won't use.


I still like this best:

Yes. The EBR stock adds weight, but it is nice.


This is one of my AR-10s.  Noveske with a Nightforce F1.  You can absolutely OWN everything within 700 meters with this gun. 

Yep, I'm still liking it. Scope stats?

3.5X15X50mm mil/mil with a full 30Mil of internal elevation and 21 Mil windage.  First focal plane.  I'm not good enough to instantly switch mental calculation between MOA and Mil and remember to dial back to 10X to range.  That's why every thing I own is FFP/Mil/Mil  I only have to remember one set of calcs and values.

I'd build a few things different about that gun
Ergo hand grip,
Magpul butt stick
Likely just a magpul frontend, plastic is fine
And a gas blocker and flip up front sight.
I do like the 16" barrel length, but not crazy with the flash-hider. Would add one to fit a can and maybe a piece of rail on the underside for a folding bipod.
I like the forged upper, and the M4 profile 1/10 barrel and I'm OK with a gas piston.

I can just never imagine that gun AR style out shooting my M1A
But the M1A does not like cans and has a clunky stock and is   W  A  Y    L  O  N  G!!

Gas block and flip up wouldn't be hard to swap. The flash-hider is supposedly pretty effective. I can recommend Midwest industries for a narrow front end with only a top rail along the top, and you add small 1.5-6" sections of rail where you want them. They are under 9 oz total.

Between the M1A and the AP4 , I think they are going to be about equalish in MOA. Depending on ammo and the person behind it.

Good Start;

http://aresarmor.com/store/Item/aa_ar1080ANO

http://aresarmor.com/store/Item/Upper_Ajax_18_308

looks like a fun project to do the 80%.

That seems like pretty high price point for an upper. Granted they could be awesome, but the price though...

The Rock River LAR-8 X1 looks like a pretty nice rifle....


My 223 started as a RRA Operator, and i've since built around it... only thing still RRA on in to is the upper-half, bolt, barrel and brake. RRA makes a heck of a nice brake too, assuming you don't want a can on it. Prob would go Surefire Socom if i was going to get a can... In fact, i just sold one in 7.62 that i took off a Savage bolt rifle  :o

No AR 10s are really cheap and I have heard of many falling apart during training as the AR platform was not designed around the 7.62.

I have 2 FALs I have pieced together over the years that were designed around the 7.62 and not really that much heavier than an AR10 or M1A, if at all.

Love my FAL, but it seems as tho my wife loves it more.....she usually sticks me with the AR15 while she burns through 5 or 10 mags, as I watch $$$$ flying through the air.

It's still worth it, see'in a 110 pound gal shouldering a fairly large rifle, and hitting what she aims at.

I'm late getting to this party...

I've always lusted after this one

The DPMS AP4

This gun is selling for $1339 on line where I looked

You can find the AP4 barrels and etc online, and assemble it yourself. It'll be cheaper than buying a completed one off the rack. I know you'd end up changing the buttstock (like you mentioned), but I also know you'd end up changing the foregrip, so no point buying something you won't use.


I still like this best:

Yes. The EBR stock adds weight, but it is nice.


This is one of my AR-10s.  Noveske with a Nightforce F1.  You can absolutely OWN everything within 700 meters with this gun. 

Yep, I'm still liking it. Scope stats?


I can not comment on this, other than that was never verified!

Never heard of it either.

I'd build a few things different about that gun
Ergo hand grip,
Magpul butt stick
Likely just a magpul frontend, plastic is fine
And a gas blocker and flip up front sight.
I do like the 16" barrel length, but not crazy with the flash-hider. Would add one to fit a can and maybe a piece of rail on the underside for a folding bipod.
I like the forged upper, and the M4 profile 1/10 barrel and I'm OK with a gas piston.

I can just never imagine that gun AR style out shooting my M1A
But the M1A does not like cans and has a clunky stock and is   W  A  Y    L  O  N  G!!

3.5X15X50mm mil/mil with a full 30Mil of internal elevation and 21 Mil windage.  First focal plane.  I'm not good enough to instantly switch mental calculation between MOA and Mil and remember to dial back to 10X to range.  That's why every thing I own is FFP/Mil/Mil  I only have to remember one set of calcs and values.

hows the view at 15x?

Gas block and flip up wouldn't be hard to swap. The flash-hider is supposedly pretty effective. I can recommend Midwest industries for a narrow front end with only a top rail along the top, and you add small 1.5-6" sections of rail where you want them. They are under 9 oz total.

Between the M1A and the AP4 , I think they are going to be about equalish in MOA. Depending on ammo and the person behind it.

LOL, Don, sounds like an opportunity for a shoot off!

Bobby, at my age, I need all the magnification I can get....I really liked my US Optics 3.8-22.    15X is just barely enough for me between 700-1000.  More magnification the better for me.  I've learned to shoot with both eyes open, so it helps with peripheral vision

Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.

Love my FAL, but it seems as tho my wife loves it more.....she usually sticks me with the AR15 while she burns through 5 or 10 mags, as I watch $$$$ flying through the air.

It's still worth it, see'in a 110 pound gal shouldering a fairly large rifle, and hitting what she aims at.


Mm FAL... :D

US Optics are nice... my wallet doesn't like the price. Magnification is nice.

The cancer is here and it will spread.  It is only a matter of time before we experience Israel-like terrorism on our soil.  Even Israel's determination cannot completely defeat a determined enemy.  Imagine what that determined enemy can do with such a politically correct border policy.


FBI-Mexico cover-up of U.S. border ISIS camp?

In response to a government watchdog report exposing the presence of an ISIS training camp on the Mexican side of the Texas border, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is collaborating with officials from Ciudad Juarez to come up with a “press strategy.”

The Islamic terrorist activities allegedly based next to the southern border of the United States were divulged by Judicial Watch, asreported by ONN on Thursday.

Located just eight miles from the Texas border town of El Paso, the jihadist camp is said to exist in the midst of an area dominated by the Mexican drug cartel, Anapra, according to Judicial Watch.

Saying too much?

After the security threat was publicized by the Washington watchdog organization, FBI officials allegedly maneuvered to silence and refute the report.

“A high-level intelligence source, who must remain anonymous for safety reasons, confirmed that the meeting was convened specifically to address a press strategy to deny Judicial Watch’s accurate reporting and identify who is providing information to JW,” Judicial Watch divulged in a new update.

According to information received by WND, it was communicated to Judicial Watch that “FBI supervisory personnel met with Mexican army officers and Mexican federal police officers.”

The watchdog organization reports that the U.S. government is now engaging in some peculiar activity as it collaborates with the Mexican government over the situation and seeing who revealed what.

“The FBI liaison officers regularly assigned to Mexico were not present at the meeting and conspicuously absent were representatives from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),” Judicial Watch explained. “It’s not clear why DHS did not participate.”

Judicial Watch maintains that the frenzied mobilization efforts of U.S. government officials to get together with Mexican authorities over the issue apparently signifies that they are positioning to do something more than just deny false accusations and identify the leak.

“Publicly, U.S. and Mexico have denied that Islamic terrorists are operating in the southern border region, but the rapid deployment of FBI brass in the aftermath of JW’s report seems to indicate otherwise,” Judicial Watch stated.

It appears more than evident that top FBI officials are barking orders to Mexican officials to keep their security forces quiet.

“A Mexican army field grade officer and a Mexican federal police inspector were among the sources that confirmed to JW that ISIS is operating a camp just a few miles from El Paso, Texas,” Judicial Watch explains. “The base is around eight miles from the U.S. border in an area known as ‘Anapra’ situated just west of Ciudad Juárez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.”

They’re here

Muslim terrorists have reportedly been taken into custody, says Judicial Watch, by the U.S. after crossing the border over the past few months.

“Judicial Watch said its sources within the Department of Homeland Security said several ISIS terror group members were arrested by federal authorities and the Texas Department of Public Safety in McAllen and Pharr,” WND confirmed. “The reports conflict with claims by the Department of Homeland Security that there is no imminent danger of ISIS breaching the nation’s southern border.”

According to high-level intelligence obtained by Judicial Watch, U.S. towns should be under high terrorist alert as jihadists are deployed from the Anapra-based Muslim terrorists and taking their posts in U.S. border towns.

“Another ISIS cell to the west of Ciudad Juárez, in Puerto Palomas, targets the New Mexico towns of Columbus and Deming for easy access to the United States, the same knowledgeable sources confirm,” Judicial Watch informed.

Reportedly, Mexico and the U.S. have been trying to deal with the proliferating jihadist threat.

“Mexican army and federal law enforcement officials discovered documents in Arabic and Urdu, as well as ‘plans’ of Fort Bliss — the sprawling military installation that houses the U.S. Army’s 1st Armored Division,” the watchdog group divulged. “Muslim prayer rugs were recovered with the documents during the operation.”

Jihad Watch says that the Vicente Carrillo Fuentes Cartel presides over the Anapra zone, where its La Linea drug runners are its operation’s “enforcement arm.” Another arm of the operation derived from an El Paso jail gang, commonly known as Barrio Azteca.

“According to these same sources, ‘coyotes’ engaged in human smuggling — and working for Juárez Cartel — help move ISIS terrorists through the desert and across the border between Santa Teresa and Sunland Park, New Mexico,” the watchdog states. “To the east of El Paso and Ciudad Juárez, cartel-backed ‘coyotes’ are also smuggling ISIS terrorists through the porous border between Acala and Fort Hancock, Texas. These specific areas were targeted for exploitation by ISIS because of their understaffed municipal and county police forces, and the relative safe-havens the areas provide for the unchecked large-scale drug smuggling that was already ongoing.”

And reportedly, ISIS is already here — taking their post in remote regions north of the border.

“[ISIS] has ‘spotters’ located in the East Potrillo Mountains of New Mexico (largely managed by the Bureau of Land Management) to assist with terrorist border crossing operations,” Judicial Watch insists.

WND indicates that numerous sites in the U.S. are also covered by ISIS.

Jihadist infiltration

“Also, reconnaissance is going on at regional universities; the White Sands Missile Range; government facilities in Alamogordo, New Mexico; Fort Bliss; and the electrical power facilities near Anapra and Chaparral, New Mexico,” WND’s Bob Unruh reports. “Judicial Watch sources said [last October that] four ‘Islamic terrorists’ were captured in Texas in just 36 hours.”

WND notes that at that time last year, former Republican presidential candidate Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) said in a televised interview that he received intelligence from the U.S. Border Patrol that ISIS terrorists crossing the U.S. border from Mexico were captured.

“They were caught at the border … therefore, we know that ISIS is coming across the border,” Hunter informed. “If they catch five or 10 of them, we know there are dozens more that did not get caught.”

Fox News aired an interview with a House Armed Services Committee member, which validated Hunter’s assertion. Hunter also advised the Obama administration that it needs to ramp up security on the southern border if it wants to keep ISIS out.

“It’s that simple … ISIS doesn’t have a navy, they don’t have an air force, they don’t have nuclear weapons,” Hunter pointed out. “The only way that ISIS is going to harm Americans is by coming in through the southern border — which they already have.”
