OPERATION OVERWATCH 2010: Military jet flyover during Fresno Tea Party speech 4/10/10

[lindsayjc100]

The military has a lot more important things to do than worry about a few idiots waving flags in Fresno. Trust me, the military is not threatened by the teabaggers.

The 144th Fighter Wing, CA Air National Guard is stationed at Fresno Airport and has been since World War II. F-16's flight over Fresno is routine. Two aircraft are on runway alert 24/7. The perform the Air Defense mission for all of Northern California

Does anybody remember the guy that happened to be speaking while this video was being shot?

[nilesmc]

you pro-freedom assholes got exactly what you deserved.

take THAT.

Tricky. We know that pilots are notorious for not obeying orders to the "T", but I will have to have more evidence before I believe they were doing this to show support. Our military has been so brainwashed by our government that they are indiscriminitely killing women and children in foreign countries. Can't have it both ways and if you do it there, what would keep you from doing the same here? Just following orders.

I was there and wondered what that was about. I live close enough to the ANG to know that this was not a "usual" fly over. Planes were f18, not f16, and they were flyin awful low & slow to be a normal Coast run or touch n go. Big brother watching us?

[hplaserjet2001]

@dvinemissm that's my take on it, they were showing that they are there watching.

Thank you for this video, and thank you for the detailed description. I can't believe they flew over at that time. Just waaay to "coincidental"

@whatsnextnow19791

Please consider that they are on our side.

[BlessedONE333returnz]

don't you realize yet? that is the part of the military who are WITH US

they are a large number and growing

GOD BLESS THE OATH KEEPERS

[RachelBartlett]

@BlessedONE333returnz Yes! That's an option I'll always consider as long as I don't see proof they would turn against the people. Same here in Germany -- I've seen some convincing indications that the police know exactly what our political leaders are doing. One officer even claimed "half of the police know".

In 1989, the wall in East Germany fell without a single bullet fired -- because the army and police were on our side. Our best policy is to embrace them. They are our family.

@RachelBartlett I called our local Sheriff's office recently, mentioned federal influence spreading and asked about some city police cars in our unincorporated area. The Lady knew Exactly what I was saying and was with me 100 percent ! Thanks !

[phnixlady]

@BlessedONE333returnz I sure hope your statement is true, blessed. That thought warms my heart. I see sense here, why would the Gov fly over that event when there are huge events to come where they could shock and awe? So Cal MLA is a blessing, and I always pay attention to what they bring us, glad you offered this perspective. What do you think SoCal MLA?

[SoCalMartialLawAlert]

@phnixlady It's hard to know anything for sure without "official" confirmation, but we appreciate & love the debate, that's for sure! So we decided to put the video out there for people to decide for themselves, because we don't know.

We do happen to know that pilots have a way of "communicating" with their planes ... Like saying "hello" to each other by "wagging" their wings up & down ... Was there any of that? If there was, I didn't see it.

[SoCalMartialLawAlert]

@phnixlady We also saw at least 7 other jets flying in formation over Fresno at about 10:30 a.m. -- which was 1/2 hour before the Tea Party was due to start. Coincidence? We don't think so, because we've visited the Fresno area many times without seeing ANY fighter jets flying over the city ...

[phnixlady]

@SoCalMartialLawAlert Thank you So Cal, thats a batch of jets ! we sure hear a lot of jets here now, and a very strange, huge plane came over at 11:30 with giant lights on the bottom, just way too many huge lights.? It is pretty depressing to think of being watched from planes we paid for to defend our land, Air Force guys, tell us what is up!

[hplaserjet2001]

@SoCalMartialLawAlert my take on this is that they are showing you they are there and are watching.

Donald Rumsfeld said, "There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know."
