I accept your correction as more accurate. In any case the FedMob has become a law unto itself. This being only one of many examples in recent years.
Insert “Gestapo” or “SS-SD” instead of CPB, “Germany and Occupied Europe” instead of “port of entry” and “Jews and Romany” instead of O’Keefe and read your statement again.
“Well, at least they didn’t beat me so hard that I lost some organs or my eyesight.”
Question for you, Jim:
Are you now, or have you ever been, a supporter of Donald J. Trump? ....Answer for you, Marvin the Martian: Why would you give a F***ck? Answer.
Jim is perfectly capable of answering for himself.
We are basically a modern high tech American version of the USSR now. People engages in peaceful word based dissent are targeted for law enforcement attention solely because of words they say.
This is a radioactive line for government. And ours is solidly across it.
Answer my question. I HOPE you are quite capable of doing so, brand NOOBIE troll.
Those questions didn’t come out of thin air. His file has been flagged and obviously contains some sort of brief about his political activities so that any and every Customs agent will know about it when they pull up his file. They apparently take that as a cause to harass him. However ‘gentle’ their harassment might be that’s a very chilling message they’re sending.
Some months ago, I read “Mao, The Untold Story”, about Mao from before his birth to his death. Unvarnished. Very enlightening about ungodly, evil dictators.
Then just finished “Red Notice” about Bill Brodwers investments in the Russian Stock Market, and Putin’s attacks against him and his folks, about 1996 to 2014. (Obama and Kerry are mentioned.)
Sitting on the table is “The Harvest of Sorrow” by Robert Conquest. Soviet Union in the 1930’s I think.
My point is this is nothing new. Evil (satan) from the time of Eden to today. Nothing has changed (except a brief 200 year period of Exceptionalism).
They didn’t beat him at all. But if they had wanted to make an example of him they would have. Again, I don’t agree with the kid being on some kind of list or being asked these questions. But it could have gone a lot worse.
When I was in my early twenties I had the misfortune of being on the receiving end of some local police who were stepping way over bounds in their questioning me, accusing me of all sorts of things because I was (according to them) in the wrong place at the wrong time. They did not do it nicely. Their behavior was really over the top and kind of scary for a kid. But I kept calm, was respectful, and walked away from the incident without any kind of record. But it could of easily gone the other way because they were provoking me.
This kid was not provoked. Just asked a lot of inappropriate questions because he was on the Feds little red list.
Sounds like they consider Trump the enemy.
I am aghast.
And as long as they’re civil and somewhat polite, you’re okay with that?
I don’t like it either. But then, I don’t even like being asked my zip code when I go to check out at a local retail store. I just lie because its none of their business. I used to give the cashiers hell for asking, but stopped because of the glazed look in their eyes. Just a waste of time anyway.
But look, every phone call and message board is monitored by the Alphabet Soup agencies. Donald Trump doesn’t use a cell phone for a reason.
You know I didn’t say that.
Say to whom? Congress? The President?
When the object of your anger is the government, how will you fight it?
Rifles?
If retail stores could put you in prison or shoot you from a drone I might put them in the same category of concern.
These words must be repeated every day if possible! Godly wisdom for an evil day!
