Do you watch Hollywood well enough?
Have you seen "White House Down" or "Olympus has fallen" or "London has Fallen"?
Okay maybe you are watching the latest 2017 series "Designated Survivor"?
These are movies that depicts activities in the White House and most especially the US President and most importantly some tough boys & girls known as THE SECRET SERVICE.
For those of you living in the US who have gotten a chance to see Barack Hussein Obama or Donald Junior Trump have you ever noticed some intimidating, rigid and stern looking men and women in black suits & overalls around the President?
Yeah, these people are the talk of our today's "AMAZING FACTS YOU DO NOT KNOW".
They are the United States Secret Service and their major duty isn't actually to protect the President, there is lot more that you will read below.
They do a whole lot from monitoring financial activities like the EFCC of Nigeria, to protecting the president, the Vice President & their immediate families, to monitoring the chefs that makes their(President & Co) meals, to actually dying for them.
The job of the secret service is so terrify that one of them actually stands pretty close to the President and ALWAYS holds a gas mask under his overall suit. No, not to protect himself from gas attack but in case of such he is to wear it for the president & he himself dies from the air poisoning. Yes, he better dies from it than the President.
Are those Sunglasses?
No, there is absolutely no room for fashion in the Secret Service although they can look super cool in their suits & all. Those glasses aren't fashionable ones, they are actually video camera glasses that sends live videos of their location back to the White House where every face in the crowd is scanned just in case there is a potential threat.
They communicate with sophisticated gadgets as well, you can see white curly cables about their ears as dissemination aids and you can always see them lifting there sleeves to their mouths.
The President is mostly referred to as "Phoenix". So if he steps out of his oval office the next Agent seeing him communicates to the rest like....
"Phoenix on his way up the Hallway".
They are ALWAYS watching him, he can't even go into the elevator without one of them with him. The ONLY place they DON'T go into with him is into the oval office & I will tell you this in the commentaries .
These guys are interesting & fascinating.
Here you go...
=Abraham Lincoln created the agency the day he was assassinated.
The 16th president of the U.S. created the Secret Service on April 14, 1865. Too bad John Wilkes Booth shot the president while attending the theater later that day.
=However, the original mission of the Secret Service was not to protect the president.
The agency was created as a division of the Treasury Department. Its mission? To crack down on the proliferation of counterfeit currency, an epidemic that threatened to destroy the American economy.
=Only after attacks on the president happened did the agents' duties expand.
Following the 1901 assassination of President William McKinley, Secret Service agents began watching over presidents full time. After Sirhan Sirhan shot and killed presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, agents took on the job of protecting presidential and vice-presidential candidates as well. In fact, the Service offered Barack Obama protection a year and a half before election day, the earliest of any candidate in history.
=Only one member of the Secret Service has died protecting the President.
Just one?
Since all these years? This shows you how highly trained these guys are.
On November 1st, 1950, two Puerto Rican nationalists stormed the house that President Harry Truman was living in while the White House underwent renovations. In their attempt to assassinate Truman, they shot Private Leslie Coffelt, a member of the Secret Service, three times. Before he died from his injuries, Coffelt returned fire, shooting one would-be assassin in the head.
=They've never had a traitor in the Secret Service.
Although the FBI, CIA, and NSA have all been infiltrated by foreign spies, the Secret Service has never discovered a spy or traitor in its ranks.
=Agents are more than bodyguards.
In addition to tracking nearly 1,500 presidential death threats per year, the Secret Service also investigates credit fraud, financial crimes, identity theft, counterfeiting, and computer fraud.
-They use quirky code names.
The United States Secret Service uses code names for U.S. presidents, first ladies, and other prominent people and places. John and Jackie Kennedy were known as "Lancer" and "Lace"; Ronald and Nancy Reagan went by "Rawhide" and "Rainbow." Agents call the Pentagon "Calico," and refer to The White House as "Castle." The Presidents son in "Olympus has fallen" was referred to as "Spark plug"
These code names are used for classified persons and under the security detail of the President. Himself, His Wife, Kids and those of the Vice President. This is to prevent linking to the real persons in case of communication compromise.
=The Secret Service has over 6,500 employees.
About 3,200 agents work in 150 offices in the U.S. and abroad, and around 1,300 of those agents are members of the Uniformed Division, responsible for offering protection to the White House.
= Wing men
More than body guards you say. Well, for someone like John F Kennedy who had a mistress , the Secret service were forced to come up with a code name for her. She was called "Contractor". So whenever the first lady was returning from a trip back to the white House, they tell the President
"Sir, begin to round up negotiations with Contractor, FLOTUS(First Lady of the United States) on her way up Sir".
You would ask "How do you know Ifelola?"
Well, because a retired agent confessed that.
If POTUS( President Of The United States) wants Pizza, an agent actually does the ordering, he goes into the shop and orders it, looking like a normal customer & not in his intimidating looks and disappears mysteriously to the White villa. Everything is monitored, even his food and clothes. So poisoning is the last thing that will kill POTUS.
So that is it for this morning.
Any questions?
On the next episode, I will be telling us what it takes to join the secret service. But that is if I get 10 comments that wants me to make the post. Else, I just hold up my pen.
So if you enjoyed this one. Say something in the commentaries, if you learnt anything

Nice & Informative!
so they cover-up a cheating president?
what if the president is to see his mistress ( side-chick) in her own home, won't their presence draw unwanted attention??

Nice one

yes.I read through. those guys are amazing. write about the us seals too.

THE OVAL OFFICE.
This is the room in which the most Powerful man in the world operates and gets things done. It's actually oval in shape.
This is the only room in which Agents if the Secret Service do NOT go into with POTUS. You will ask
"so are you saying they can enter his bedroom?"
Yes, they can enter his bedroom but not into the oval office. An Agent can rush down , knock on the door while the President is trying to get his pant off and go like...
"Sorry Mr President, your attention is needed in Command Ops".
Why is is like this?
We don't know. It's classified, I would say.
Agent's only come in here if only the President requests or occasion demands. In other words, this is the only place where "eyes" can't see POTUS. But if he believes himself to be in danger, there is a button under his desk that he can push, and believe you me, immediately he does that about 10 Secret Service Agents will have guns pointed at your head in a matter of SECONDS.... Yes, seconds.
They will burst in!
The floor of the Oval Office is fitted with pressure pads. This pads allow Agents to know where POTUS is in his office(he is indicated with an icon on their tracking device so they know the exact spot where he is in the room), so when they dash in, they can go straight to where he is. Toilet, chair, couch, recliner, desk or window.
The desk you see as been there since the days of Abraham Lincoln and his diary is still contained in there till date.
Quite fascinating!

your dp shows that you are still young. Why retire at this age?

Awesome,informative thread
nice one OP

Following!

Nice one BRO.... More please

Nice

"At times I wonder how possible it is for a sniper not to conceal himself enough to assassinate d president, especially when one considers d distance a sniper's bullet can travel...
Again, Olympus has Fallen, White House Down and London has Fallen... Why were such movies made? I'm always thinking the secrets of the White House was being exposed..."
REPLY:
Have you ever heard something like this in movies especially by cops or agents
" Set up a perimeter, 16 blocks"
Have you?
A perimeter is a guarded space. Before POTUS comes out to address the public anywhere, agents go far ahead of him to clear off possible sniper positions in tall buildings, stand guard, ward of potential threats and all before the president can come out.
As a matter of fact, when he arrives in his convoy, he sits inside for about 2-5 minutes, perimeter is checked again and He Agents standing to open the door of the "Beast" won't do so until he gets this message
"All clear".
When POTUS stands out to talk, Agents stand around him to maintain possible sniper travel angles and take the hit for him. Moreover POTUS wears bullet proof vests before they climb up podiums to speak.
Agents have their own snipers too, in fact there are professional snipers on the roof of the White House 24/7 who will kill you before you can move an inch. The White House compound has a "No flight zone" law. That is, no jet, airplane or unverified drone can fly over or around the vicinity. There are automatic rocket launchers & unmanned machine guns on the roof of the white House that will take you down before you even start planning the operation.
It's very impossible to kill or take POTUS. Forget the movies, they are fictional. Except someone in the White House, CIA FBI, NSA, PENTAGON discloses classified information about the security of the facility.
You CAN'T touch POTUS.
Secondly, movies are made for entertainment. Warner Bros, Legendary Pictures, Paramount, Universal etc all have clearance to make such movies depicting the White House. They have a props building (a fake white House) where they act such movies, although having the same architectural design as the real white house but not as detailed as the real one, so no matter how many movies showing the White House you watch, you know NO SECRET.
Such details are arranged in 3 forms.
1. Secret
2. Top Secret
3. Classified
Security Intel are ALWAYS classified. So forget taking POTUS, except you have a devil possessed staff of the above listed establishments to help you.

"All clear"
Then He opens the 12 inches thick door of the "beast" for POTUS.
You can see agents around the car, ready to kill or be killed for Him.
The beast is the second most powerful & secured car in the world. It is second to that of the President Of Russia, Vladimir Putin.

Please mention me when the next one comes out
