Jack McLamb, Operation Vampire Killer 2000 Origins
Retired Phoenix police officer Jack McLamb describes his transition from a highly decorated lawman to a constitutional activist after a 1978 encounter with a senior citizen in Sun City, Arizona. McLamb asserts that standard government schooling and police department policies lead officers to unknowingly violate their oaths of office. This realization led him to refuse orders he deemed immoral or unlawful, eventually resulting in him becoming the most fired officer in Phoenix history.

01:36 is Operation Vampire Killer 2000. And the organization, the name is Police Against The New World Order. Jack if you would just give us a little brief story basically about how you got into this and how you found out Because we were all dumb at one time. That's right, that's right. Yeah we've all had our moment and it is interesting to listen and ask each person how did you find out about what was going on? Well my day came in 1978 I was giving a talk to senior citizens group in Sun City Arizona Right outside of Phoenix yeah And there was 85-90 year old man sitting in the back of the room who looked like he was sleeping
02:27 You know, very frail. Very old gentleman and I didn't think anything of it and I was speaking to this group of senior citizens when i stopped speaking about an hour later I was speaking on crime prevention they were having trouble with muggings and things as they went around their neighborhood there in the senior citizen area. When I asked for questions and answers, his little bony arm was the first one to go up and it kind of surprised me because he looked like he was sleeping through the whole thing so I asked him what you wanted to ask and he asked me a few questions, about four or five questions and with those four or five question that man
03:11 turned me on my ear because what he showed me within that very short time is that this old soldier, who was in the military during the Vietnam War and took an oath to defend this country and the Constitution and the people. And took it again when I was a police officer that I was a violator of my oath And I was shocked over this. I didn't believe it at first anyway, it took me about 30 days to finally become convinced that he was right because I knew that I would never violate my oath and I took but what he showed me was I didn't even know what was in my oath because we went through the government school system that doesn't teach you any longer about what your rights are and so forth
03:51 But I learned from that older gentleman that, indeed was a violator of my oath as a matter of policy and procedure on my department. And all officers are! When I learned that, I had to decide either I would continue to violate my oath or stop it and say no to any more what turned out to be immoral activity, orders or unlawful orders that I was given. When I made that decision, Jeff at the time before I made the decision I was the most highly decorated officer in the history of Phoenix Arizona still am today but then i became the most fired officer in the history of Phoenix Arizona after I made that commitment and I would refuse to do things any longer
04:39 that I considered as a Christian man immoral or a violation of my oath. But it took study before I understood what my oath was, because today the Constitution is treated as old and antiquated and outdated, they don't teach you that anymore so its interesting that citizens don't know what their rights are we don't know what our rights are so its easy to give us orders that violate our rights because nobody knows So that's how I woke up and began to become so depressed as a lawman who was at the top of my career, then at the very bottom when I started refusing orders that were unlawful many times.
