Our Occupy the Fed effort is an Oath Keepers led project that is being carried out with the assistance of a team of volunteers from other organizations, including:

Bryce Shonka, of the Tenth Amendment Center.  www.tenthamendmentcenter.com

Steven Vincent, Founder of End The Fed.  http://endthefedusa.ning.com/

Gary Franchi, Founder of Restore the Republic.  www.rtr.org

Bob Dwyer, Boston Tea Party organizer and leader of Massachusetts Liberty Preservation Association.  http://www.masslpa.org/

Danny Panzella, leader of Truth Squad.  www.truthsquad.tv.

Brandon Smith, Founder of the Alternative Market Project.  www.alt-market.com

Each of the above has been given posting powers over at the Occupy the Fed website we have set up for that effort,   www.occupythefed.com.    And that does not mean we are now joined at the hip with all those orgs either.  It just means we are working together on this project to try to steer mass attention toward protesting the damnable Federal Reserve.

So what's the deal with Garret Loporto then, you ask? Well, Garret Loporto, of Wayseers, also volunteered to help since he is in Boston, and has become a "leader" of the Occupy Boston protests, and has already been redirecting those protesters toward the Fed there in Boston.   And that is all he was, a volunteer offering to help us, just like the others.  I put him in touch with Bob Dwyer there in Boston so they could coordinate.   And we also added him to the list of volunteers over at our Occupy the Fed website (but see below, as we are retracting that).  But from the start Loporto was, at most,  just one of many volunteers who wanted to help that effort.   We are not getting married, and there is no formal alliance between Oath Keepers and Loporto and Wayseers.

Nor is Oath Keepers going down some "occult" path, as some breathless posts on the internet have claimed.  In case anyone is interested, I personally attend Chuck Baldwin's Liberty Fellowship each Sunday in Kalispell, Montana, and I have no plans to change churches.    See http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/home/?page_id=17.   By the way, I highly recommend Pastor Baldwin's sermons to all Christians, and you can watch them on the internet at the above link.

So please everyone, take a deep breath and chill.  Thank you.

I know Elias' initial post came across like we had all become Wayseers, but that was only because he was personally impressed with Loporto's video and book, and he got a bit carried away in his post.

2.   Mr. Loporto is not going to even be listed as a volunteer at Occupy the Fed. There have been some legitimate concerns expressed about even having Mr. Loporto serve as a volunteer in that joint effort over at Occupy the Fed.  Some have expressed concerns about his movement, and others have expressed concerns about his political past.  We will look into both.

Because of those concerns, and because of questions I and other members of our National Board have, until we can get some conclusive answers to the questions being raised about him, we are not going to even be listing Mr. Loporto as a volunteer over at that site, and we will not be using him as a volunteer in our efforts.   If Bob Dwyer, as leader of Mass LPA, wants to continue to coordinate with him in Boston, when it comes to steering those protesters toward protesting the Fed, that's up to him.   He can do what he wants with his own org, of course.  But at the national level, and on our Occupy the Fed site, we will not - not unless and until I get some answers to my questions and even then, only with a vote of our National Board of Directors.

"I will send a separate email with our official press release and announcement giving clear details on the strategy for the Ocupy the Fed initiative, so you will be totally clear on exactly what we will be doing, what we will NOT be doing, and How we intend to do it.
