Tampa, Florida – United States Attorney Maria Chapa Lopez announces the culmination of a long-term investigation, dubbed “Operation Blackjack,” into arms and narcotics trafficking activities, centered in Pasco County, Florida. As a result, 39 individuals have been charged with various federal firearms and drug violations. (Please see chart for details). The indictments also notify the defendants that the United States intends to forfeit the firearms used in these offenses and any proceeds traceable to the offenses.
“We will continue to use every tool at our disposal to prosecute those who persist in purveying violent crime and drug trafficking on our streets,” said U.S. Attorney Chapa Lopez. “We are committed to working with our partners to render our communities safe for our citizens in the Middle District of Florida.”
“ATF’s primary focus is protecting the public by reducing violent crime,” said Special Agent in Charge Daryl McCrary. “ATF continues to aggressively pursue violent offenders and will work with our law enforcement partners to protect and serve our communities.”
'The Pasco Sheriff's Office is proud of the partnership it has with the Department of Justice,” said Sheriff Chris Nocco. “Taking illegally possessed guns and criminals off the street will have a positive impact on the safety of our community.'
An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.
Operation Blackjack arose out of a partnership between the United States Attorney’s Office, the State Attorney’s Office for the Sixth Judicial Circuit, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Pasco Sheriff’s Office. The cases will be prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office’s Violent Crimes and Narcotics Section.
These cases were brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program that has been successful in bringing together all levels of law enforcement to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. In the Middle District of Florida, U.S. Attorney Maria Chapa Lopez coordinates PSN efforts in cooperation with various federal, state, and local law enforcement officials.
This investigation is also the result of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) program. The principal mission of the OCDETF program is to identify, disrupt, and dismantle the most serious drug trafficking and money laundering organizations and those primarily responsible for the nation’s drug supply.

The Mystery Of Operation Blackjack
Hello ATS,
Before I go onto discuss my reasoning for starting this thread, firstly let me make it clear that the idea for it came from another member by the nameof Alan12 and a post of his which you can all find in another thread of this naturehere. I'm starting this thread as I also noticed this user commentedfurther down that he wasn't able to make a separate thread of his own due to the current posting limits (20 posts to make a new thread) and since hehasn't been online since June the 26th of last year.. I'm assuming he hasn't been working on getting his post count up in order to start a thread ofhis own already.
So with posting this thread I really do have to stress that the credit for the various different information posted goes to him, not me. I'm simplyposting it here because I find this topic quite interesting, I thought the information he shared pretty much deserved a separate thread of it's ownand I saw he wasn't able to make such a thread..
Bearing the above in mind I have to be honest here, I'm still finding myself feeling a little bit skeptical about the true nature of what 'OperationBlackjack' really was. Personally I'm more inclined to believe it was as the makers of it claimed it was - entirely fictional. But still, and withbeing honest, I have to admit I found Operation Blackjack to be an 'odd' one to say the least and whether true, who knows really, but It's of courseunlikely.
Before continuing further at this point, I'm aware that quite a lot of new members here might not be wholly aware of what I'm talking about in theslightest here so first off and for some clarification...
What is Operation Blackjack?
Operation Blackjack 334
Operation Blackjack was seemingly a completely random and unusual series of disturbing pictures posted in the Telegraph newspaper depicting a seriesof Nuclear attacks on major western cities, first beginning in London and then cities such as New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Portland, MexicoCity and Toronto.With these set of images depicting nuclear attacks we're presented with images showing how these attacks first began, a date of when attacks wouldoccur and a specific time of the day. The first series in particular showed these as well as a series of photo shopped images showing the aftermath ofsuch an attack and how it would impact various major landmarks for example..
As the series of images unfolded, as there was more than 1 series of images over a few weeks, it became clear that these attacks wouldn't take placeby extremists of any kind, or even a foreign nation, instead It was what many of us here at ATS would simply refer to 'TPTB' - in other words the realworld leaders, those with authority higher than say the President of the Unites States for example. The hidden leaders of this world. This of courseslightly unusual to be shown in what became quite a well known series of images in a national newspaper shown to millions upon millions of people herein the UK.
It was shown in these series of images that these 'Elite' figures secretly ruling the world were conspiring to attack their own nations in order tocreate a new country, a new currency and a seemingly new and much stricter system of control, presumably using fear of nuclear attack from a foreignpower - At this time I feel It's also worth pointing out that this is something that will be quite familiar to most around ATS..

What I mean by that is In the early 60's we know of a secretive government project known simply as Operation Northwoods, which was an operationplanning a nation-wide false flag attack on an American city by the American government in order to later blame a foreign power (in this case Cuba) tothen overthrow the regime and install a much more 'Western-friendly' one in place. More reading on this particular project can be found here in fact:
(Source)
Operation Northwoods was a series of false-flag proposals that originated within the United States government in 1962. The proposals called forthe Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), or other operatives, to commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities and elsewhere. These acts of terrorism were tobe blamed on Cuba in order to create public support for a war against that nation, which had recently become communist under Fidel Castro.[2] One partof Operation Northwoods was to 'develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington.'
Operation Northwoods proposals included hijackings and bombings followed by the introduction of phony evidence that would implicate the Cubangovernment. It stated:
'The desired resultant from the execution of this plan would be to place the United States in the apparent position of suffering defensible grievancesfrom a rash and irresponsible government of Cuba and to develop an international image of a Cuban threat to peace in the Western Hemisphere.'
Several other proposals were included within Operation Northwoods, including real or simulated actions against various U.S. military and civiliantargets. The plan was drafted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, signed by Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer and sent to the Secretary of Defense. Although part ofthe U.S. government's Cuban Project anti-communist initiative, Operation Northwoods was never officially accepted; it was authored by the Joint Chiefsof Staff, but then rejected by President John F. Kennedy.

In place of the previous government, again according to these set of images, was put in place a fascist government and a heavily policed state. Wellonce again this is seemingly based on something quite familiar from real life... something called the 'Business Plot.'
You see the Business Plot was centered around the 1930's and It involved well known corporations of the time coming together to quite literally createan army, overthrow the American government (FDR at the time) and to install a fascist dictatorship in his place, quite similar to what the slidesportrayed in fact only they portrayed this occurring in modern times.
(Source)
'A clique of U.S. industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist state to supplant our democratic government and is working closely with thefascist regime in Germany and Italy. I have had plenty of opportunity in my post in Berlin to witness how close some of our American ruling familiesare to the Nazi regime.... A prominent executive of one of the largest corporations, told me point blank that he would be ready to take definiteaction to bring fascism into America if President Roosevelt continued his progressive policies. Certain American industrialists had a great deal to dowith bringing fascist regimes into being in both Germany and Italy. They extended aid to help Fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helpingto keep it there. Propagandists for fascist groups try to dismiss the fascist scare. We should be aware of the symptoms. When industrialists ignorelaws designed for social and economic progress they will seek recourse to a fascist state when the institutions of our government compel them tocomply with the provisions.'

The set of images then went onto show the current state of the world after the initial nuclear attacks, such as a revolution taking place for exampleand the people of the world rising up against the new regimes. Anyway, In order to get a better understanding of what the images were trying to showexactly, first they most probably should be seen.
Here are some of the images from the first series for further viewing:
