51 Federal Agents Descend On Home In Rural Indiana
By John Dodge
CHICAGO (CBS) — Federal agents have descended on a compound in rural Indiana that reportedly contains a large amount of historical artifacts, including some from World War II, sources said Wednesday. Aerial photos from WISH-TV in Indianapolis show at least two large command vehicles on the side of a large brown two-story building in the small town of Waldron, which is southeast of Indianapolis.
interesting how they brought in the concealment tents.
They are taking and will have their “experts” declare it all outside of private property.
That's how the demonization begins.
I remember when I first saw photos of Randy Weaver's "compound". It was a freakin' plywood cabin.
Waco? Wood frame buildings.
Just like this "rural compound". It's a country home.
Funny how that word crops when the media and government are working hand-in-hand to demonize someone, in this case, a guy who has a collection of artifacts he has assembled over nearly 80 years. I didn't even see a fence.
What they neglected to point out is the cash value of those artifacts. A single (clovis) projectile point can bring $8,000.00 or more. Other, more exotic artifacts could easily be worth much more. They wouldn't have to pocket a lot of items to snatch an impressive amount of value, and who knows what the collection would be worth on the market.
IMHO, the burden of proof that items were illegally acquired rests with the state, and this seizure is designed to take the man's life savings (in artifacts).
Theft, plain and simple. The chances of him living long enough to successfully pursue court action to have his possessions returned is very low, (and the probability that key and valuable artifacts would be 'missing' very high.)
Feds descended on a compound, sound familiar to anyone? Think Waco. News with views strikes again. Whenever the Feds do something this illegal they clue in the media to shape the story before it happens. They hide their names behind these faceless, bureaucratic actions, we need to know who these people are. They, like cockroaches fear the light. Set up that website.
HEY! FBI! Just shoot him with some beanbags. Be a lot easier if he’s dead.
These people obviously have nothing better to do
There’s that word compound again. You can certainly tell when the government is up to no good.
Wasn’t there another word for it at one time?
Oh yes. Home! That’s it.
It now appears we live in our ‘compounds’ at the generosity of the federal government, only until it desires to destroy us.
