CBS News Reports Fake Story on Infowars “Hiring” Militia

Infowars did NOT hire Oath Keepers for protection

by Kit Daniels | Infowars.com | August 11, 2015

UPDATE: CBS St. Louis killed the story after the station was contacted by Infowars.

CBS News published a false story claiming that Infowars reporter Joe Biggs, a highly-experienced combat veteran, “hired” a militia group to protect both him and reporter Jakari Jackson in Ferguson, Mo.

“CBS News reports that several members of a militia-style group called the Oath Keepers showed up carrying assault weapons; they were hired by Infowars.com — a website run by Alex Jones — to protect its reporters,” the Aug. 11 article falsely states.   But it has Vanished

Infowars did not hire Oath Keepers for private security, despite the article’s claim which was not attributed to any source whatsoever, meaning the statement could have came from the writer’s imagination as far as anyone knows.

The claim is particularly ridiculous considering that Biggs is a highly-recognized former Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Army who fought in some of the most intense combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In other words, the mainstream media, who routinely hire private security for their reporters, would hire someone like Biggs for protection.

Additionally, Infowars is not affiliated with Oath Keepers, although as a media organization we respect them for encouraging active military and retired veterans to study the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

The mainstream media has been attacking Oath Keepers for their presence in Ferguson, and the erroneous reports that Biggs hired them for security is an attempt to demonize Infowars by falsely linking them with the militia group.

“Jones’ website is well known for hosting inflammatory conservative rhetoric, and posting items that take an extreme view of current events,” another CBS article also claimed under a paragraph about the Oath Keepers, which reveals the media’s true agenda.

CBS also attacked Infowars for publishing a headline stating “Protestors Declare They Are Ready For War…” but a near-exact headline is also on the popular news aggregate the Drudge Report, which the mainstream media constantly references.

Presence of militia-style group in Ferguson questioned

Last Updated Aug 11, 2015 2:13 PM EDT

FERGUSON, Missouri - In the midst of a spasm of tension in Ferguson, Missouri, on the one-year anniversary of the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, several heavily armed men carrying assault rifles and flak jackets appeared, and they weren't cops.

Instead, they said they were members of the Oath Keepers. The group, led by a man identified only as John, told reporters they were in Ferguson to protect a journalist for InfoWars.com, a conservative website run by radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

"There were problems here, there were people who got hurt.We needed to be prepared for that," John told Reuters.

An Infowars representative told Reuters that it had not asked them for security.

"We happen to be in some of the same circumstances as they are on occasion and ideologically we may share the same views,"said the representative, who asked not to be named citing security concerns. "They are there of their own volition and secondarily they are there to protect anyone who is innocent. Of course, we fall under that because our reporters are reporting."

Ferguson: One year later

One member of the militia-style group described the Oath Keepers as constitutionalists. On their website, they say they are "a non-partisan association of current and formerly serving military, police, and first responders who pledge to fulfill the oath all military and police take to 'defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic."'

In a statement, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar called their presence "both unnecessary and inflammatory." St. Louis County police and prosecutors told CBS News said they would consult about the legality of openly displaying the weapons during a state of emergency, which had been declared Monday after violence rocked Ferguson during protests the previous evening.

Jones' website is well known for hosting inflammatory conservative rhetoric, and posting items that take an extreme view of current events. One of the headlines produced about the recent Ferguson unrest screams:

"PROTESTERS DECLARE THEY ARE READY FOR WAR AS AMERICA'S IMPOVERISHED INNER CITIES THREATEN TO ERUPT."

A separate video claiming to be from an Oath Keepers' award banquet shows one of them imploring members to "assume the worst" and "prepare for economic collapse."

Oath Keepers is a national group best known as supporters of the Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy during a 2014 dispute with the Bureau of Land Management. The Idaho group gets its name from the 3 percent of Americans who fought in the Revolutionary War.

They come from what was a general rise in sometimes-violent anti-government activity in the Inland Northwest. After a lull following the demise of the Idaho-based neo-Nazi Aryan Nations in 2000, anti-government and white supremacist groups and individuals saw a dramatic uptick in activity and organization.

The Oath Keepers appear to still be active in multiple parts of the country. Last week, they were among several similar groups involved in a dispute in Montana over a mining claim.

The groups were there in support of a mine owner who is in contention with the U.S. Forest Service over his claim. Members of Oath Keepers, Pacific Patriot Network and 3% of Idaho said they came to Lincoln - the former hometown of Unabomber Ted Kaczynski - at White Hope Mine owner George Kornec's request.

In 2011, a member of the Georgia Oath Keepers, Darren Huff, was convicted in Tennessee on a federal firearms charge in what police said was a plot to take over a Tennessee courthouse and force President Barack Obama out of office.

Members of the Oath Keepers walk with their personal weapons on the street during protests in Ferguson, Missouri, on August 11, 2015.
