Red Alert: Military attempts to frame Infowars reporters for terrorism at G20 summit

Jason Douglass, Rob Dew, Jason Bermas
Infowars
September 23, 2009

Editor’s Note: This is a rush report to protect our reporters on the ground. It is an integration of multiple first person accounts from Jason Douglass, Rob Dew and Jason Bermas. Paul Watson, at PrisonPlanet.com, posted a link to DefenseLink stating that more than 2,000 Army, Air Force and National Guard troops were massing at a National Guard refueling station in the suburb of Pittsburgh in preparation for riot control. So we did what any news company would do– we sent our reporters to the base to request to speak to their press spokesperson. The following secret police oppression then occurred. Infowars reporter Jason Douglass gave Alex Jones in Austin, Texas the phone number that the agent called his cell phone from. Alex called the number and discovered that it was the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Department in Pennsylvania. A man who would only identify himself as Officer Wateska admitted to Infowars.com that he had posed as an Alamo rental car representative and offered Jason Douglass two free days of rental if he would trade the car in. The Infowars crew would then have been taken into custody by a Joint-Terrorism Task Force. The officer also confirmed that Jason Douglass’ name and Driver’s License information taken from the rental car company computers was being forwarded into the suspected terrorists database, and that it was being investigated as a potential case of terrorist activity. Officer Wateska went on to say that the Army had filed a report with them stating that Infowars crew members had refused to provide information to Army personnel and had “fled the scene”– that is a complete lie.

The reporters from Infowars went to the front gate and requested to speak with the information officer. Minutes later, another soldier arrived and told them that he would get them a media spokesman after they showed their credentials. The Infowars crew showed him the credentials. The officer then laughed at them and said, ‘These are not G20 credentials’ and then wanted to speak to their boss in Austin. Rob Dew then called Alex Jones. For approximately five minutes, Alex then heard everything said over the cell phone as Rob Dew tried in vain to give it to the Army representative. The officer laughed at them and said, ‘You’re free lance media; you might be able to talk to our public relations officer tomorrow if you come back.’ Alex says that he was ’shocked’ by how arrogant and hateful the soldier sounded, and that he was talking aggressively to the reporters. It is clear that the Army is attempting to frame us as they did in Brooksville, Florida in 1999. Mainstream media has reported that the Army surveilled ‘End the Fed’ protests, Ron Paul, Alex Jones and listed them as terrorists. DHS reports that Infowars.com have broken that the military and police have been trained to believe that red-blooded Americans are their main enemy. Reporters politely request that they be able to speak to the Army’s media representative, which is standard operating procedure and they are made the subject of a Homeland Security terror investigation. Alex wants the lying so-called authorities to know that the American people are aware of their criminal activities; the American people are aware of the police provacoteuring violence all across the United States at protest events, and that if they attempt to frame or entrap any of our reporters, they are going to be slapped by civil rights RICO suits that will dwarf the legal actions that stopped their criminal operations in the 1960s and 1970s.

Statement from Alex Jones: This is not some Third World country where you can mow down and enslave a bunch of starving people. The ghost of what this great country once was is rising. I know what you are and what you do– you practice lies, deceit and murder. You love the death you deal out to innocent people. Well know this, your masters inject you with cancer-filled vaccines everyday– all you New World Order servants drink deeper from the feted cup that you pour out on the people. You curse yourself, your family name and everything this great Republic ever stood for. How dare you try to frame good, decent, First Amendment reporters. I pray that God soften your hearts and that you become good, decent people once again, and not a bunch of arrogant control freaks on power trips. I know that you’re just spoiling to bring in full tyranny upon this nation– but the American people are waking up to who and what you are. The majority of your commanders have completely given themselves over to true evil, but I know that Ron Paul received more contributions from the military than any other presidential candidate, and I know the good soldiers are with us, and that they know what’s happening. There is a hostile corporate takeover taking place in the United States. Foreign offshore banks have created tens of trillions of dollars in fiat derivatives and used it to fraudulently buy our country. The FBI, the military and local police may have been brainwashed that those of us who are telling the truth are bad, but nobody’s buying it. A change is coming, but not the one the social engineers had planned on.

Statement from the Reporters: At 8:30PM on the eve of the G20 summit in Pittsburgh, PA, I received a call from a police officer pretending to be from Alamo car rental. During the initial course of the conversation, the supposed Alamo customer service agent tells me that the car I am driving has bad brakes and needs to be serviced.

The "agent" baits me with a promise of several free days on the rental, if I would take the car in and exchange it for another rental. After explaining to the agent that we were stuck in downtown Pittsburgh, in the heart of the G20 control zone, and security has closed the streets to all traffic but pedestrians, I then offered to bring the rental car in once I knew what the schedule was for the road closures.

Once he realized that I wasn’t going to bring the car in and their trap would go unsprung, the tactics immediately changed and he divulged that he wasn’t in fact from Alamo but worked for the military as part of an anti-terrorism task force. I could barely wrap my mind around what was happening, still stuck on the previous cover story.

Officer Wateska, as he later identified himself, then began to explain that the car I had rented was recently seen at a military installation and had failed to provide proper identification when asked. He then insinuated that the occupants of the car had turned around and fled, leaving their identity in question. Having no idea what to say and still reeling from the previous lies, I remained silent for a moment. He further explained that the military feared we may be terrorists and had released my name to the FBI and told me that I would be placed on an FBI watch list. Furthermore, he explained that the car was now flagged, and if spotted, would be pulled over and we would be detained. It was then implied that I was now on a list and that if I didn’t cooperate, he insinuated bad things would come of it. Even though I was being a very good sport about the whole thing, veiled threats were being made and I felt the grasp of our far too empowered military closing its fist.

In the end, the alleged events of 9/11 have given our government carte blanche to do anything they think is necessary. As long as they can make the leap to terrorism– and in their minds everything is potentially terrorism– they can justify almost any action including asking questions. All their actions are justified under the veil of National Security. Each day we slip further and further into the police state.

Below is the first hand account of Rob Dew and Jason Bermas following up on a report that 2,500 troops were stationed right outside Pittsburgh for the G-20:

Rob Dew and I pulled up to the gates of the 171st Airborne Division in Coraopolis, Pa. Rob then asked the armed guard at the gate if he could confirm the report that U.S. troops were going to be deployed in Pittsburgh for the G-20. The guard said he could not comment; Rob then asked if they could speak to a PR spokesperson.

The guard told us to park in the side lot and they would contact someone. Rob and I then pulled to the side of the road as instructed and waited for a military representative who was supposed to answer our questions. Instead when he arrived, he was not satisfied with our credentials. We spoke with him on and off for around 10 minutes and he was still unsatisfied with our credentials even after taking Rob Dew’s press pass, making some calls, and talking with other members of the military. He then told us that he would not answer our questions and if we wanted to return with better credentials the next morning he would answer our questions. He then gave us his contact information and we left.

Upon leaving another car was parked sideways on the other side of the street, waited for us to pass, and then proceeded to follow us for one exit, and then departed. We arrived back at the hotel to meet with Jason Douglass. As we were leaving the hotel room Jason received a call from the unknown number.

What does that mean?

[chrisfromchi]

What does that mean?

means that they wanted to give them the car that was seen at the military base?

this is all rather surprising i hope is cool.

[lavosslayer]

yeah they were trying to bait them to come in and be apprehended by the cops.

[UKStewart82]

Alex is gonna BLOW THE F*CK UP on the air tomorrow.  Bastards.

[Unintelligable Name]

yeah they were trying to bait them to come in and be apprehended by the cops.

Oh simply to get them in a physical location where they could nab them, I gotcha. I took it as somehow they were trying to bait them into illegal activity, but it wasn't clear what was illegal... apparently being in Pittsburgh! Oh I see, hadn't read that far -- they wanted to talk at the Army base... and the Feds are spinning it to say they were staking the place out, haha.

I bet with all their cameras and recording equiptment, none of this encounter on the phone was caught on tape

Yeah, we'll see.

[RoadRunner]

I bet with all their cameras and recording equiptment, none of this encounter on the phone was caught on tape

I need evidence before I believe this story, sorry Infowars team

yep

Skeptical? Call the Allegheny Sheriffs office and see what they tell you.

I will say though that this does seem a little bit too...deliberate, I suppose...

Hopefully they have some Diganet pens or shades on em to record all of their ordeal that happened (and will continue to happen), in the event that the cameras and recording equipment were forced off.

Why promote something (as a sponsor more or less) if you don't use the product in the battlefield such as in this situation?

[UKStewart82]

Alex should have went himself to the G-20.  I'm not sure "The crew" is up to the task of an event this size and magnitude.

[CheneysWorstNightmare]

Alex is gonna GO OFF tomorrow!

I hope he taped the phone conversation!

Deliberate? How about down right stupid? Why would a officer give up his name and tell the crew that he planned to plant false evidence on them, in order to arrest them, and not only incriminate himself willingly over a phone call, but do so to a known group of journalists who have camera equipment and recording devices and are known to try and destroy the police/militarys credibility.

Honestly, I have no idea! I'm sure Alex will be in full spirits tomorrow about this so hopefully we get some clarification and maybe some video or audio footage...

[chris killz blog]

GEE I WONDER what was in that other car they were going to give them???


They were gonna swap em out a car with em to plant something really bad.


That was a setup and a half if I've every heard one.  THANK GOD he didn't fall for that shit.  I'm praying for you guys, watch out for the sabotage.  This shit is real as it gets. 

Should we be calling the base and letting them know we know how they were trying to set up your journalists?  The army were obviously going to plant something in that other rental car.

Btw, This is that spook genocide plane I think Horowitz was talking about the other day (Evergreen aviation)
It seems like a eugenicist's wet dream- The Super Tanker- Only one in the world supposedly This is in Oregon, not too far from me.  Maybe I should go down there and try to interview the CEO of this filthy spook company, ask him some questions, like if they have any plans to use this thing this fall or winter, since it's not fire season anymore,wouldn't make much sense if they were, unless they are involved in a plot to carry out mass genocide against the people of the United States.  I wonder how many of these planes the CIA really have.

The police and militarys' credibility? :

That's a funny one dude.

No one ever said those people are smart dude.  Police aren't no rocket scientists I'll tell you that.  They don't even want you anymore if your IQ is over 100 bro.  This is one of the downsides of that type of policy, lots of mistakes.

Cooperate huh?  Looks like they are trying to recruit the Infowars reporters to work against Jones. 

This is outrageous!!

[chris killz blog]

Alex should have went himself to the G-20.  I'm not sure "The crew" is up to the task of an event this size and magnitude.

I don't think Alex should go anywhere now with this kind of crap going down.  Alex is too valuable of an asset.

[UKStewart82]

I don't think Alex should go anywhere now with this kind of crap going down.  Alex is too valuable of an asset.

Umm, yeah, I said he SHOULD have gone.     Obviously he's not going anywhere now...

[Eckhart Tolle]

I just heard on the Scanner a few mins ago that there was reports of about 10 individuals walking around a vehicle on a street corner acting suspiciously.

But then one of the Police Officers said over the radio "That's the Army over there." so the police immediately canceled the call.


Are these Army guys wearing regular clothes or something?  How could a person confuse them for possible criminals?

Weird..

Now the cops are checking out a suspicious Backpack..

[Eckhart Tolle]

And what's with this forum today.. Seems really slow and stalling.. Maybe a DOS Attack or something?

[chris killz blog]

Umm, yeah, I said he SHOULD have gone.     Obviously he's not going anywhere now...

Ummm, yeah, I just disagreed with you.

[lavosslayer]

Ummm, yeah, I just disagreed with you.

ummm, yeah, you both just said the same thing...

[chris killz blog]

ummm, yeah, you both just said the same thing...

Umm, no.

[chris killz blog]

I saw Bermas posting on the forum, so I guess they're not in custody. 

What's that about they're going to be detained and questioned?  Why?  I wonder if the secret police stopped by their hotel room or what?  Hope they get it on video that's some exiting footage.

Furthermore, he explained that the car was now flagged, and if spotted, would be pulled over and we would be detained. It was then implied that I was now on a list and that if I didn’t cooperate, he insinuated bad things would come of it.

Umm, no.

yeah you are... UK stated that Alex should have gone to prevent issues like this and you said that he shouldn't go now that this has happened. It is inferred by UK's statement that Alex being there now won't change what has already happened which he followed up with the statement "Obviously, he's not going anywhere now,"and thus understood to be of the same sentiment of the argument your making, that he shouldn't go now that the event has occurred.

you both agreed with each other yet argued opposite sides of the point.

Regardless I didn't like the tone of his comment, very condescending.  What is this supposed to mean??

"The Crew"  What's wrong with his crew?  Way to back these guys up when their out there on the front lines in this.  Real appreciative.  What is it that the crew did wrong here?

[luckee1]

Guys, are you all done ironing out the semantics?  Where is the posting that Bermas did?

If you don't mind will you all post related links in here?

TIA

The post was not related to this story.  I saw him make a post on that little box that scrolls the threads people just posted on earlier this morning.

I wish he would come by here and give us an update, but I'm sure Alex will bring us up to speed in a half hour.
