Northeast Intelligence Network: "Something Was Not Right" With Obama Security Detail

The other day, I posted on the "stand down" on Obama's security at a rally in Dallas. It seems that an hour before Obama was to speak, someone in the Secret Service gave the order to stop using metal detectors to check people into the Reunion Arena.

I criticized the Secret Service for this, saying,

"What the hell is going on here? The Secret Service, apparently, gave the order to shut down metal detectors an hour before the opening of an Obama rally? And, in Dallas, of all places?

Have they ever given such an order before with any other major candidate?

Someone from the Secret Service had better get on the horn right quick. They've got some major explaining to do.

...the Secret Service is grossly negligent in their handling of Obama, considering considering who he is and what he represents in the scope of our history.

Can you imagine what would happen to this country's trust in the good faith of its government were Barack Obama to be assassinated?They ought to be guarding that man with their life. Certainly, that is their job.

Their job is to make sure that important assets of our nation do not get assassinated. The guy who runs the Secret Service ought to realize that Obama, for better or worse, is one of the most important assets in our nations history.He's right up there with people who actually have been President."

Well, it seems the Northeast Intelligence Network also believes something is wrong:


Dallas cop: “Something was not right”

"I’ve been a cop too long not to know that there is something bigger going on here." -- Dallas police officer, referring to orders to "stand down" on Obama security detail.

23 February 2008: Dallas, Texas police officer Donald Strong* could not believe what he was hearing – an order issued by the United States Secret Service to “stand down” at a Wednesday rally at the Reunion Arena where Democratic presidential candidate Barak Obama was to address a crowd of nearly 20,000 people.

“About 90 minutes before the start of the event, an order was issued to stop the most basic protective security procedures. We had the manpower - it didn’t make sense,” stated the officer.

A report published in the Star Telegram describes the surprise by several Dallas police officers upon receiving an order to “put down the metal detectors and stop checking purses and laptop bags,” allowing an untold number of people access to the arena without undergoing any security screening.

“It was surreal,” stated the Dallas officer to the Northeast Intelligence Network.

The officer also described the statement made by Dallas Deputy Police Chief T.W. Lawrence, who said that the turnout “seemed to be a friendly crowd” as ridiculous. Lawrence is also head of the Police Department's Homeland Security and Special Operations divisions.

“I felt that there was something wrong with the order [to stand down] but I was told not concern myself, that it was being handled. But it was not being handled. When I continued to voice my concern, I was told to ‘stay out of it,’” stated the officer, who added that he fears going public with the information could jeopardize his job.

Although the rally went forth as planned without incident, Officer Strong believes that there is something else – something more nefarious going on. “The manpower was there – it was not an issue. Why would we be told to stand down? It made no sense. There needs to be an investigation [of this incident] and the individual who ultimately issued the order needs to be identified. I’ve been a cop too long not to know that there is something bigger going on here.”

*The name of the Dallas, Texas police officer changed at his request to protect his identity.
