We had a record crowd at our January 22nd Club 54 with special guest Supervisory Special Agent Tymothy Burkey. Agent Burkey is head of the Joint Terrorism Task Force in New Mexico and shared with us important information about terror threats here in New Mexico, in the U.S., and internationally.

For those who requested information about his book, here it is:

Into The Devil's Den by Tym Burkey and Dave Hall

You can order it online at all major booksellers and it is also available for download as an e-book.

The book chronicles how Dave Hall went undercover into the Aryan Nation, considered one of the most dangerous domestic terrorism groups in the U.S. Together with Agent Burkey, they basically took down this group. The book is compelling, a real page-turner and it shows the kind of harrowing and heroic work done by the FBI.

Don't miss our next Club 54 on Tuesday, February 22nd. Details will be posted soon.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

The Terrorists Amongst UsNew Mexican FBI terrorism expert SSA Tymothy Burkey will discuss the threat of home-grown terrorism. Of particular concern to all New Mexicans is the recruitment of terrorists from our prisons, the unsecured border, drivers licenses for illegal aliens, and the fact that one of the most wanted terrorists, the Muslim cleric Anwar al-Alawki, is a Las Cruces native and is considered one of the world's most effective recruiter and motivator for al-Qaeda.
