Secret Service "Visits" Outspoken Critic of Obama - Because of Twitter?
Examiner.com ^ | 6/11/13 | Harriet Baldwin

Posted on 06/11/2013 9:51:50 PM PDT by Nachum

After you read this- you will wonder what country we are in.

Tom Francois is an outspoken critic of Barack Hussein Obama- and has a robust Twitter presence. He also likes to dabble with his "paint" program to create funny cartoons. He has never threatened the President in any way, manner or form.

On April 11, 2013, he heard relentless pounding on his door shouts of "Police!" The officers introduced themselves as members of The Secret Service and asked if they could "take a look around."

Since Tom had nothing to hide (and he didn't want any return visits) - he complied fully with their request. He even signed a consent to search his premises AND an "Authorization To Review Medical and Mental Health Records!"

They asked Tom if he ever left his state or traveled to Washington, D.C.

This is freaking way over the line and why the HELL aren’t any Congressmen doing/saying anything? Is every R in government a flaming *** ****?

What’s going on? Is everyone a paralyzed neutered rabbit?

No, but the county assessor just sent me notice to renew the licenses for dogs I gave back to the pound, and Dept of Agriculture threatened me with dire consequences if I didn’t fill out and return the Farm Census 8-pager for my 1.3 acre “operation” . . . .

Intrusive government may soon be introduced around the country to “intrusive citizenry.”

Yes, in DC they are all on Obama’s list. All their secrets are used to blackmail them. The ones who call Snowden a traitor are scared to death they will be exposed.

I think you have that right. The RINO element coming out against this man is pretty strong and smells of desperation. Even Karl Rove-ski had his white board out tonight..they know they have broken the law and they are worried... on both sides of the aisle.

Sorry to disappoint but the DHS, White House, FBI, Naval Intel, Army Intel, and other agencies most certainly do cruise this site.

They click on the links to see where they go and screen capture what is said and posted.

I think the way it actually works with the Secret Service is that they have software that can scan the entire Internet and identify potential threats to the President. If the software comes up with a hit, the SS checks it out further and may visit and interview an individual, as is their job.

No doubt the software occasionally flags FR posts. And it must have sounded an alarm about the guy in this article.

without one, they’ll have to appear before a judge and show cause.

And then pack their toothbrushes for SingSing.
***At most they would receive a slap on the wrist.

The way to play it safe when your government has been taken over by tyrannical communists, is to act very very stupid. Also, do not wear glasses. All one has to do is look back at what happened in the killing fields of Cambodia. If you showed any signs of intelligence, and finding fault with Emperor Zero is certainly a sign of that, the tyrannical Communists dealt with you severely. They also assumed wearing glasses was a sign of intelligence. So in a nut shell, we must act stupid and destroy our glasses.

They won’t like that, and it might cause the person doing it more trouble. I do wonder why someone so new would post that which might be bad advice.

This site is not run professionally. I’m sure that there’s Jim R.’s “IT guy” doesn’t have any coherent data destruction or management policy in place.
