Black Helicopters in Phoenix
• Letter(Below is an email from a FreedomsPhoenix reader here in Arizona. It caught my interest because that same day a friend of mine that was visiting from out of state and I were sitting outside in my front yard when a single low flying Black Blackhawk helicopter (I think they are really dark dark green with black lettered numbers so you can\'t see them from the ground) flew from the east following Bethany Home Road in North Central Phoenix,... because "They Can")

Ernie,
This maybe something worthy of Freedoms Phoenix. I\'m not sure if you heard anything about this, but here is what happened.
Last night
at around 12:00am, I herd the sound of a helicopter flying outside my home in
Tempe, Arizona. At first I just figured it was
police, but when I listened closer, I realized it was no police helicopter.
At about
12:30am I went outside to investigate. The Helicopter was hovering around 50
yards south of my home (Tempe is a well populated
city in the Phoenix area). It was to dark to see the copter
clearly, but the sound was low chugging sound that made me believe it was
military. There was no spot lights, just two or three lights on the helicopters
belly.
After about
ten minutes of monitoring, I decided to call Tempe Police and ask a few
questions. The dispatcher explained that they were aware of the helicopter, but
do not know who\'s it is. They then said that they are in contact with the FAA
and FAA is "taking care" of the situation.
Well, that
wasn\'t enough information for me. At about 2:30am (helicopter still flying) I
started contacting local media. All of the stations explained that they were
aware of the situation but FAA would not give them any
answers.
4:30am came
around (helicopter still flying) and I decide to call our neighboring city\'s
(Mesa) police
department. The dispatcher at the Mesa Police Department told me they just spoke
with FAA who said it is a "Classified
Military Operation" and that is all FAA could tell them.
Today I
noticed several Black Hawk helicopters flying around the phoenix area.
Get your
weapons ready, people. I think we are getting really close to something
big.

Now consider us with our little side arms against the combined force of the United States military. They have body armor, advanced weapons systems and they are trained to kill. The tactical scenario is something like this: If their commanders tell them we're the enemy, they will have us all chopped up and packaged like ground beef in time for lunch. All our wives and children, if they are even allowed to survive, will by crying. And if we are "successful" in some military sense, that means other peoples wives and children will be crying. This leaves us with a no-win situation.
I'm sorry if I sound naive, but I'm starting to wonder about folks who see violence as a solution. Yes, the idea looks great in Red Dawn and all the John Wayne movies, but real violence isn't glamorous or heroic or even remotely desirable. Dismembered bodies are horribly ugly and eviscerated bodies stink to high heaven. Humans are only remotely attractive intact. In pieces we make a HUGE mess.
I know what violence is. I'm diagnosed with PTSD. I'm told I might never be "normal" again but I didn't start out normal, and so have no frame of reference. I can still use violence but I bodily abhor it. I start to tremble and sweat. That's why I can't get into bar fights. The old saying "this is gonna hurt me worse than you" totally applies. Another guy will trade blows in a bar and consider it good fun, part of a night out. I go through a week of near total emotional devestation and reliving nightmares I work hard to forget.
I will say this, as odd as it sounds, but PTSD cured me, or helped me find a cure from lifelong depression. So I'm no longer that depressed, I'm just traumatized. Or I'm traumatized and depressed at the same time, but one masks the other. I just know that if I have to pull the trigger on a fellow American, there won't be any part of that that's good for me. I won't be enjoying it. I'm 100% sure it will be the worst experience of my already screwed up life.
Maybe I'm bent or weak or cowardly or naive but I just don't see any positive outcome from the barrel of a gun. I think if lives are to be lost, I'd rather walk unarmed into open gunfire. In fact, I just thought of my attack plan. I will advance on the enemy position with an icy cold 6-pack of beer and I'll be shouting "don't shoot the beer" all the way. That way whoever caps me gets a nice cold beer just to show there's no hard feelings.
They were out again this morning (Saturday) around 10AM, verified with ben via phone and yes he heard/saw them too.
