Not licensed to operate in MN, won’t say who hired them .
Dude, because it’s intimidation.I’ve got friends who did work for them over the years. Top notch at what they do, I’m curious as to why people think their services are necessary at polling places.
Tennessee-based Atlas Aegis made headlines earlier this month when the Washington Post reported that it was soliciting former Special Forces members to guard Minnesota polling places from antifascists in partnership with an unidentified local security firm.
In a complaint filed Tuesday morning, the Minnesota chapters of the League of Women Voters and the Council on American-Islamic Relations asked U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel, a Donald Trump appointee, to prevent the company and chairman Anthony Caudle from doing so. The groups argue recruiting militias to observe polling places is a violation of the Voting Rights Act.
Advertisements posted by Atlas Aegis called for “armed security” for the election and for “post-election support missions,” offering $700 per day with a $210 per diem and transportation reimbursement of up to $910 per day to “protect election polls, local businesses and residences from looting and destruction.” The ad specifically sought out Special Operations Forces personnel for these missions, which it said could last between 15 and 30 days after the election.
No, they won’t say.Do we know who hired them?
skills to get past paywallDo we know who hired them? I can’t get past the paywall.
No agenda there, right?Its chairman, Anthony Caudle, recently told the Washington Post its guards would protect against “Antifas” and Black Lives Matter supporters who he said were intent on “destroying the election sites.”
People have been using that term lately and I finally looked it up to see what it really means. It seems it really being used extremely out of context.Our election will then show the world that we have devolved into a banana republic type of democracy under our current, will say, leadership?
When I use the term, I refer to the antics of the dictators ruling banana republics, not the economy or other attributes.In political science, the term banana republic describes a politically unstable country with an economy dependent upon the exportation of a limited-resource product, such as bananas or minerals.
