ANOTHER U.S. SECRET SERVICE FAILURE: Oscar Ortega Hernandez

Suspect: 21-year-old Oscar Ramiro Ortega, who has a lengthy criminal record in eastern Idaho

Secret Service Searched Occupy D.C. Camp For Person Who Shot At White House


Talking Points Memo ^ | NOVEMBER 16, 2011 | RYAN J. REILLY


The Secret Service searched Occupy D.C. on Monday for a man suspected of firing bullets at the White House on Friday, one of which was stopped by the building’s ballistic glass.

Protestor Ralph Wittenberg told TPM on Tuesday evening that authorities came through “searching for a so-called terrorist who shot at the White House, with no warrant, they went into everybody’s tents.”

A person handling media requests for Occupy DC confirmed the searches and said they were led by the Secret Service. The agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Police have been trying to locate 21-year-old Oscar Ortega Hernandez, a mentally ill man from Idaho who authorities say is connected to the incident, which apparently took place on Friday.

Agents began investigating after gunshots were heard on Friday night, but NBC Washington reports that agents didn’t discover the bullets until Tuesday morning.

One bullet hit an exterior window of the White House but was stopped by the bulletproof glass behind the historic glass. An additional round was found on the exterior of the building, the Secret Service told the news channel. Authorities recovered an AK-47 rifle near the scene.

Strangely, the Secret Service says the agency isn’t yet positive that the Friday incident is linked to the bullets found on the grounds of the White House.

THE U.S. SECRET SERVICE MURDERED JFK

Amateur snapshot, made with Kodak Brownie camera, of Kennedys and Connallys in the motorcade about two minutes before the shooting in Dealey Plaza. An ocean of ink has been wasted "proving" that John F. Kennedy was killed by any person or organization other than the U.S. Secret Service, the law enforcement agency charged with his protection. In the 2002 book by the late Philip H. Melanson entitled, "The Secret Service: The Hidden History of an Enigmatic Agency" lays the blame for the murder of JFK exactly where it belongs: On the shoulders of the officers and their supervisors in the U.S. Secret Service charged with his protection, who not only failed to protect the president from assassination, but took part in a dastardly conspiracy to murder the young president and gave perjury to the Warren Commission in order to cover up their guilt. This untold story is revealed in Chapter three, "Losing Lancer -The JFK Assassination" (pp.58- 89) - where we le

Kevin Billings: The Rogue Secret Service Agent

First Published: May 31, 2006 Kevin Billings was one of many Secret Service agents who has dogged my heels for several years has had a little adventure of his own in the Congo recently made national news and points to the rogue nature of a major federal law enforcement agency increasingly out of control. I first met Agent Billings in November, 2001 while walking in downtown Orlando and dodging the rain. I passed by the entrance to a bank building on Orange Avenue when this middle aged grey headed guy dressed in a raincoat literally leaped out into the rain by my side and said, "I'm Kevin Billings of the Secret Service -- How are you, Mr. Barbour?" "Minding my own business, " I replied and ducked into a Starbucks for a coffee as I had pre-planned. Billings and another agent followed me into the coffee shop. The other agent was a giant who stood with Billings against the wall in a hostile manner with an aggressive stare from tiny blue ey

SPECIAL AGENT JOHN GRIMSLEY - "HE WAS VERY SCANDALOUS"

Dear Sir, I read some of your things on line about Special Agent John Grimsley. I have to agree he is one very strange man. I have a brother who threatened the life of a police officer and the President. I turned him in for doing so. Grimsley was assigned to the case. He never investigated my brother. He instead investigated me. I was 17 when all this happened. Because of John Grimsley I got charged as an adult with two counts of False reporting. That bastard ruined my life. What do you know about this man??? He was very scandalous. Regards, I will begin at the beginning: I first met Grimsley on March 31, 2011 when I arrived in Seattle via AMTRAK from Montana. My first impression was that of a file clerk, or male secretary at some small scale business. I was put on guard because he was too friendly and helpful – heretofore, Secret Service agents had been “professionally friendly” at best and rude/obnoxious/authoritarian at worst. However, Grimsley greeted me
