"Captain" Michael? APF Official Admits Title Is Bogus

Michael Hilton

American Police Force, Michael Hilton

Send to a friend!

Earlier we told you about Michael Hilton, the American Police Force official with a lengthy criminal record and a history of alcoholism, who inked a deal to have his mysterious security company take over a Montana jail.

And here's a hilarious little indication of just what kind of a Gatsby-esque character -- to put it very charitably -- Michael Hilton appears to be.

Reports the AP:

Hilton, 55, uses the title "captain" when introducing himself and on his business cards. But he acknowledged it was not a military rank.

Not a military rank, you understand. Maybe he was captain of his high-school soccer team?

With his newly chosen line of work, I would have thought he was implying a police captain not military. Something tells me with his record, he ain't one of those either.

I can't wait to find out who is providing his financial backing.

It has to be a matter of public record somewhere.

Some people know. Sooner or later the word will get out.

This is what the brainwashed "free-market, competitive (price colluding) Capitalism" advocates, want to replace our "by the people, for the people, of the people" Government...(no public accountability) private companies like APF....and no one left (get rid of government) to protect us from companies like APF, Blackwater, KBR..etc.)...to damned lazy and ignorant to take the government we have and make it better ...they would rather just have the for-profit, private Corporations control us (do they think they will somehow profit too..?)..forgetting that we have a Constitutional Right, to address our government, with greivences...but would be arrested if you tried that at a private corporations Board of Directors meeting....(or any where on the Corporations "private" property) abolish government and we would be left to the "mercy" of the for-profit, private Corporations...we are almost there as it is..and thats why we are seeing the major upheavals we are seeing..Government is corrupt?...who do you think has corrupted Government.."we the people"..? or the Corporations money (bribes)..(er..I mean campaign donations)...?

All the politics crap and the conspiracy theory stuff is totally bogus. This is just a good old fashioned con job on some desperate people.

Yesterday I sent the link about this when the news first broke to my biz partner diagonally across the US, predicting APF would be creating a pedophilia brothel. I also predicted a Russian mob connection and that the financial backing is coming from bought members of the U.S.Congress...hence, the funding is from taxpayer money.

Today it is learned Hilton is heading APF, that he's got an extensive rap sheet that seems only to omit pimping, and that he's used Russian aliases. I am that much more convinced that when the reporting on this subject grows that my initial accusation that he's starting a pedophilia brothel in Hardin will prove right, that U.S. taxpayers are paying for this via sleazy earmarks will prove right, and that it will be proven members of Congress were bribed by intermediaries such as lobbyists that didn't register for the Foreign Agent Registry.

"Captain Mike?" This ass-clown might be an experienced con but he's short on imagination. At least his cards could say "Grand Generalissimo Plenipotentiary Mike"....

Maybe he meant caption or El Capitan, but certainly not "captain". Maybe he meant El Fraudo ? The Hilton Hotel, yes that is what he meant. It is a grand resort for international fraudsters. He is a man you want sworn to uphold the U.S. Constitution, a protector of American Civil Rights.

There are Wahabi training camps in Chechnya, and that was where some of the training of the 911 hijackers went on with some of Putin's childhood and KGB friends doing the training. I am not permitted to state how I know this at this point in time. Anyhow, besides part of this Hardin site likely to be a pedophilia brothel, I anticipate the other major activity at this site will be the US' version of Wahabi training camps.

MT isn't exactly a happening place and its small towns aren't run by the sharpest knives in the drawer. (I'm trying to be polite and not use the words "red neck.") Towns like Hardin think they're immune from terrorism, and instead set themselves up to become terrorist training camp sites.

Hilton is a career criminal, with recent crimes well-documented. Such people don't have a revelation and suddenly overnight find the right side of the law. Instead, they expand their social circle of criminals and link-up with ever more powerful crime gangs. Hilton seems to be linked to a small time Russian organized crime gang. There are 199 of these operating worldwide, and one large one controlling them from St. Petersburg, Russia by controlling the Kremlin. I've studied Russian Organized Crime's activities since 12/01...and I smell a Wahabi training camp in the works in Hardin, MT!
