Wow. Marine ARRESTED for This Facebook Post About Obama
Conservative Tribune ^ | December 19, 2014 | Unknown

Posted on 12/20/2014 2:47:44 PM PST by goodn'mad

Brandon Raub is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps who decided to post critical opinions about Barack Obama on Facebook. What happened to him then will strike fear into the hearts of any good American and make them wonder what country they’re living in.

According to the Rutherford Institute, Raub was arrested by “a swarm of FBI, Secret Service agents and local police,” and detained without charges for “mental evaluation.”

The detention, it’s alleged, was done under a federal program codenamed “Operation Vigilant Eagle.” The program is intended to surveil former veterans who publicly express opinions critical of the government.

First we, under our system of Government, need someone to represent us. That we do not have. We have now two wings of one party. Both wings are control and power hungry. They just differ on how to reach their goals of total control and power over the serfs.

I know who he is. what surprised me is that you would attempt to employ a howling whack job who got himself (and most of his followers) wiped from the face of the earth as anything other than an example of epic, screaming failure.

What is a "former veteran"?

I ditched Facebook three years ago. What a colossal waste of time it is. It’s good for getting fired though...

there are those ive done bidness with on facebook...and frankly I dont want to share my deepest thoughts with them...or much of anybody else to tell you the truth.

there are relatively few people in this area who approach conservatism that it doesnt make a lot of sense to “come out” as one on facebook and drive business away.

I read it quickly, the entire article, but I didn’t see anything mentioning Barack Obama. Just ‘leaders’. And I saw zero threats, veiled or otherwise, against those ‘leaders’.

I’m not surprised at all that the judge threw this out.

“Detained without charges for mental evaluation?” So, if you criticize Zero you are mentally ill?

Actually, liberalism is a mental illness.

were I him....I would find an EXCELLENT lawyer,or team of lawyers..,and sue these people until they bleed gold.

its a very bad precedent to ALLOW this sort of treatment..whether a judge throws it our or not.

Id ask who’s next, but I must admit to being mildly superstitious about such things

he was charged with sex crimes against a minor last year,

What better way to discredit someone than smear them. Doesn't the tactic sound familiar? I'll keep an open mind on this until we know more...

The Southern Poverty Law Center tried to send some do-gooders to our local grade school for one of those career days, things. I saw the list of those participating, called the principal, and went on a full rant about it. I arrived the next day with examples of their political action, affiliation, and publications. The principal promptly called the local SPLC office and cancelled their visit.

All noses and a lot of tent to keep tight to the ground. They do not rest.

I don't put my name out there. My friends can email or text me. But social network is a good way to get fired, divorced, arrested. If government agencies want to do a search on you, they can and will...but there is no need to make their jobs any easier for them.
