JURY TRIAL TO BEGIN IN OKC GANGLAND PIPE BOMB DEALER CASE

              Oklahoma Iraqi Vet Accused of IED Sales – ARM’s ‘Night of Terror’ Approaches  

 

UPDATE: Jordal's trial has now been postponed until May 24, 2010 at 9 am.

March 1, 2010 Accused Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) supplier Steven Andrew Jordal, age 26, will face a jury of his peers as he goes to trial on Monday, March 8, 2010 at 9 am in Oklahoma County District Court before Judge Virgil Black. Jordal was charged on January 7, 2008 with ten counts of Bomb Manufacturing or Possessing an Explosive Device.

 

Jordal is believed to have obtained his skills in bomb making, while stationed in Iraq as member of the United States Army.

 

It is alleged that Jordal made available for sell to gang members a number of dangerous pipe bombs and was in possession of one of the IEDs and a handgun, while on a trip to Penn Square Mall in Oklahoma City two days before Christmas in 2008.

 

According to a press release issued by the Oklahoma City Police Department after his arrest:

 

On December 22, 2008, members of the Special Investigations Division of the Oklahoma City Police Department received information that Steven Jordal, a resident of Oklahoma City, was manufacturing improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and was offering these items for sale to persons who intended to use them for criminal activity.

 

At approximately 6:00 P.M. on December 22nd, officers were notified that Mr. Jordal was en route to the Penn Square Mall parking lot, possibly armed with an IED. Mr. Jordal was located in the lobby of the Elephant Bar Restaurant, which is located on the southeast side of Penn Square Mall. Mr. Jordal was immediately taken into custody by Special Investigations officers. Found in his possession was a loaded semi-automatic pistol and a bag containing a working IED. This was obviously a very dangerous situation considering Mr. Jordal was in a crowded restaurant, which sits in the parking lot of a busy mall, located on a major traffic artery in our city.

 

After taking Mr. Jordal into custody, the Oklahoma City Bomb Squad spent an entire day and part of the evening searching the northwest Oklahoma City home of Mr. Jordal. During the search, the Bomb Squad found and removed other IEDs that had been assembled for the purpose of selling them.

 

Prosecutors claim Jordal, who served one tour in Iraq, had different sizes and prices for his homemade bombs. For instance, a car bomb would net $400.

 

Since his arrest, Jordal has been held under a $125,000 bond (originally $185,000), which he has not been able to post resulting in his continued stay in county lock up. The 26-year-old has no prior arrests or convictions in Oklahoma. He faces up to 90 years in state prison, if convicted of all charges.

AMERICAN RESISTANCE MOVEMENT'S 'NIGHT OF TERROR' APPROACHES

 

Another former Iraqi war veteran accused of bringing his military skill-set into the domestic terror reign is Marlow, OK resident Charles Dyer, who is scheduled for a hearing in federal court for an allegation of possessing a destructive device. The April 12, 2010, hearing in OKC sees the rogue American Resistance Movement (ARM) folk hero, known as the July4Patriot, charged with the illegal possession of a grenade launcher that was stolen from a California Army Base in 2006.

 

That grenade launcher was found in Dyer’s Marlow home after local law enforcement searched his house during an investigation into the alleged rape of a 7-year-old girl. Dyer has since been charged with that sexual assault in Stephens County District Court. During an expanded investigation by federal and local authorities in mid-January, a bomb sniffing dog hit on traces of explosives in a storage unit rented by the former Marine.

 

While jailed without bail for the weapons charges, and having a warrant for child rape hanging over him, Dyer has been getting assistance from the extremist organization ARM, which he was deeply involved with and was developing a paramilitary training camp in Oklahoma for their use. Self-appointed ARM spokesman Lispy Jim Stachowiak of Martinez, GA, appears to be the driving force in trying to get Dyer out of jail, while spreading fabricated information about the case in what seems to be an attempt to incite other members of the extremist militia group.

 

Called Lispy Jim, because of a speech impediment that sees him pronounce words like resistance as rethithent, the web host of Freedom Fighter Radio has falsely claimed that Dyer’s alleged seven-year-old victim had undergone medical testing and was found to still be a virgin. Yet no such official information details that and Stachowiak would not have access to the victim’s medical records. Previously, he claimed the ATF had charged Dyer with possessing a gun silencer that Stachowiak said he had an invoice for that proved the silencer was legal. But Dyer was never accused of anything having to do with a silencer. Such fabrications by Stachowiak have led many to cry foul on his running a disinformation campaign, while selling products during his internet show and claiming part of the proceeds were going to Dyer’s defense fund.    

 

On April 19th Stachowiak is calling for what he calls are acts of civil disobedience, but others are calling a potential domestic terror event.

 

Lispy Jim Stachowiak, a person who never served in the military and was released within months of being hired as a police officer over allegations he got a young girl drunk and took her to his home, is conspiring for members of the rogue extremist group to terrorize their communities by discharging their weapons at the strike of midnight going into April 19, 2010, in hopes of flooding 911 Centers with enough calls that police, fire, and ambulance services will be disrupted. That portends a night of chaos that will see untold American citizens facing loss of life and property, by not being able to get through to needed emergency services during Stachowiak’s Night of Terror. The conspiracy to endanger citizens in cities across America could be looked upon as a violation of the RICO Act. It is illegal to do what Stachowiak is promoting and any engaged in the criminal acts on his behalf will face prosecution.

 

In recent months Stachowiak has been removed from a townhall meeting in South Carolina after verbally attacking Sen. Lindsey Graham, donned terror garb and brandished a firearm while calling for action against a G20 gathering in Pittsburgh, soiled a Mexican flag in New Orleans, and given out home addresses he claimed belonged to Hate Trackers staff members that turned out to be innocent elderly men that became targets of the ARM members he incited before giving out the erroneous information. He has, also, been accused of stalking a disabled woman and her children.     

 

Dyer’s hearing takes place just three days before the fifteenth anniversary of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building Bombing on April 19, 2010. That domestic terror event by militia movement figure Timothy McVeigh saw 168 people massacred, including several children, hundreds wounded and a large portion of downtown Oklahoma City left in ruins. The July4Patriot’s federal hearing takes place just blocks away from the original bombing site.

 

One year after the bombing, the federal courthouse hosting Dyer’s hearings saw the trial of Willie Ray Lampley, a self-styled prophet and founder of the Oklahoma Constitutional Militia. Lampley, his wife Cecillia, and friend John Dare Baird were convicted of plotting to bomb an Anti-Defamation League office in Houston and the Southern Poverty Law Center in Alabama. They were, also, in the preliminary stages of targeting gay bars and abortion clinics.

 

Lampley believed the SLPC and ADL were part of the New World Order – the same target of the extremists at the American Resistance Movement.

 

The trio’s convictions ended the short life of the Oklahoma Constitutional Militia in 1996, but it was reborn in 2008 by Bryan Berres of Ft. Gibson, Oklahoma. Berres sells small quantities of the same type of explosives used to bring down the Murrah Building. The quantities and form of the explosives appear to be legal, however, on a Freedom Fighter Radio internet broadcast last week Berres stated he did not maintain shipping records on his customers, so they could not be traced by the feds. He markets his explosive sells at gun shows around the country; most recently in Minnesota and Iowa.

 

Web posts, made by Berres on an ARM website, show that he had become close friends with accused weapons violator Charles Dyer and had met with him two days before his arrest in January – just days before authorities discovered the one-time presence of explosives in the storage unit. There has been no evidence found that directly ties Berres to the southwestern Oklahoma storage site and it could be that two members of ARM having frequent contact, one who sells explosives and someone suspected of storing explosives, is merely a coincidence. [Since being exposed last summer by us, Berres has now renamed the OCM to the Oklahoma Militia.]

 

Other members of the volatile ARM, often seen in YouTube videos brandishing assault rifles menacingly and pointing them at their web cams, are planning on holding a protest in Oklahoma City during or around the date of Dyer’s April hearing.

 

Last week, Brad Clifford of New York, who founded ARM in 2002, declared the organization dead and accused Stachowiak and his pack of extremists in turning ARM into a hate group. However, Stachowiak appears to have completely hijacked the movement now for his own purposes and profit.

 

In February, Stachowiak released a YouTube video, now removed, that profiled the Hate Trackers website, while the video’s soundtrack discussed chopping up and murdering “faggots”. Other ARM members are suspected of being behind a number of death threats to our staff and the Stephens County sheriff’s family. Those threats are now being looked at closely by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

 

Although Stachowiak never served his country, both Steven Jordal and Charles Dyer did and both served in Iraq. In April 2009 the U.S. Department of Homeland Security released a report warning rightwing extremism was on the rise and some returning soldiers were joining in suspected groups.

 

Obviously, the vast majority of America’s service men and women are honorable people. There are, however, those who are not.
