Under the Radar
Above the law
The Brian Terry Story
President George Bush, Chief Aguilar and Deputy Chief Ron Colburn
Dear fellow protectors, enforcers and guardians of our nation, our
communities, families and our American way of life:
I have a solemn and important topic that needs to be openly shared with
you, my partners, who don the blue, green, tan uniforms and wear the
shield above one’s heart, willingly standing in harm’s way on a daily
and nightly basis as society’s sheepdogs.
I am the former national Deputy Chief of the United States Border
Patrol, and a founding member of BORTAC, the Border Patrol’s
national tactical unit. Since retirement, I have served as a law
enforcement, counter-terrorism, and border security subject matter
expert and consultant.
On the night of December 14th, 2010, a BORTAC team clashed with a
heavily armed “rip crew” in the remote, steep, rocky canyons of
southern Arizona, several miles inside the USA and north of our border
with Mexico. This five man gang of illegal Mexican nationals, armed
with AK-47 type rifles, was prowling the shadows on American soil,
ripping off drug loads from competitors, killing off their competition,
ambushing, raping and robbing fellow illegal crossers, and placing
American law enforcement personnel in constant, grave danger.
A BORTAC team member, Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry, fondly
nicknamed “Superman,” for his physique and almost superhuman
strength, was gunned down in cold blood that night, killed by the rip
crew assailants who, horrendously had been supplied and armed with
high power rifles by another Federal law enforcement agency, under the
auspices of “Operation Fast and Furious,” run by the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Brian’s pulse stopped a few minutes
after midnight on December 15th ,2010.

I am currently involved in the making of a documentary film that
exposes the culpability of our own U.S. Government’s leadership, and
the agencies involved in the resultant killing of two of their own federal
agents –Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata—as well as hundreds of Mexican
nationals, only to “set the stage” for a comprehensive assault on the
Second Amendment, retail gun sales in America, and the right to
personal gun ownership in this great nation.
We have gone to crowd funding, as documentary films can be difficult to fund, and one can
go to Indiegogo.com and look us up by the title, "Under the Radar - Above the Law."
A short sample of the theme of the film can be viewed at:

I implore you, the protectors of the sheep, to join me in this noble cause,
and expose, once and for all, the truth behind “Operation Fast & Furious.”
The previous Administration lied, withheld, stonewalled and
resorted to bullying and intimidation to keep this story away from the
American public and mainstream media. It must now “go public,” as its
time has come.
View the short film and donate whatever you feel compelled to give to
bring this film to fruition within the next few months. Spread the word!
