Nuclear power plant technicians, senior military officers, FBI contractors and an employee of “a highly-secretive Department of Defense agency” with a Top Secret clearance. Those are just a few of the more than 100 people with sensitive military and government connections that law enforcement is tracking because they are linked to “outlaw motorcycle gangs.”
Intercept - A year before the deadly Texas shootout that killed nine people on May 17, a lengthy report by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives detailed the involvement of U.S. military personnel and government employees in outlaw motorcycle gangs, or OMGs. A copy of the report was obtained by The Intercept.
The report lays out, in almost obsessive detail, the extent to which OMG members are represented in nearly every part of the military, and in federal and local government, from police and fire departments to state utility agencies. Specific examples from the report include dozens of Defense Department contractors with Secret or Top Secret clearances; multiple FBI contractors; radiological technicians with security clearances; U.S. Department of Homeland Security employees; Army, Navy and Air Force active-duty personnel, including from the special operations force community; and police officers.

Which should suggest that many of the so-called OMGs aren't.
The Antimasonics of the 1830s were a party that included John Quincy Adams and William Seward. The critical issue was that a democracy cannot tolerate officials who take secret oaths, and the A's won that debate, if not the war. The victory of secrecy was acknowledged in the Jowers verdict, based on evidence of coordination between the Masonic J. Edgar Hoover and secretive criminal organizations and teams that collaborated in Memphis. The A's went on to become Whigs on the issue of national development, and later Republicans on the issue of antislavery. But upon absorption of the CSA, the role of secrecy expanded, particularly in labyrinthine Court decisions that went unchallenged by Congress. By default what is constitutional is that which is unseen and unenforced. So it makes functional sense that a nation descended from the Confederate States of America would be run unofficially by OMG's.
