Looks like they finally raided Mar-a-lago correctly this time.

In the wake of the massive raid at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, politicians and pundits are hectoring Americans to blindly trust the FBI.
“The men and women of the FBI,” Attorney General Merrick Garland proclaimed, “are dedicated, patriotic public servants.” But the FBI would be more credible if it didn’t claim a right to secretly wield almost unlimited power.
Most Americans (53%) view the FBI as “Joe Biden‘s personal Gestapo,” a recent Rasmussen poll found. FBI actions 30 years ago at Ruby Ridge help explain the G-men’s fall from grace.
Randy Weaver and his family lived in an isolated cabin in the northern Idaho mountains. Undercover federal agents targeted him and entrapped him into selling a sawed-off shotgun. The feds sought to pressure Weaver to become an informant, but he refused.
After Weaver was sent the wrong court date and (understandably) failed to show up, the feds used any and all means to take him down. On Aug. 21, 1992, six US Marshals outfitted in full camouflage and toting automatic weapons trespassed onto Weaver’s property. Marshals circled close to the Weaver cabin and threw rocks to provoke the Weavers’ dogs.

Is that how things work in a free country?
The fbi murdered innocent people. It is a corrupt organization.
Bovard was on top of this mess in the 90s while most folks were sleeping. His books “Freedom in Chains: The Rise of the State and the Demise of the Citizen”, “Lost Rights: The Destruction of American Liberty”, and “The Fair Trade Fraud” predicted the present.
Correct.
Top to bottom.
His Cabin wasn’t “isolated”. Many of us live in areas called remote because access is by gravel or dirt road. Look at Boundary County Idaho road maps, and you’ll see that there is a good percentage of the county roads here are gravel. There is lots of discrepancies in articles to justify a wrong, and portray him as a terrorist.
The FIB’s reputation went up in smoke along with the Branch Davidians including a couple dozen children in Waco, TX.
Everyone also forgets the FBI lab scandal of the 1990s where lab tests were falsified and innocent people went to jail.
The Ruby Ridge murders pinpoint the exact date that the FBI became a criminal organization.
While these reminders of events in the past are greeted with approval from many conservatives, the truth is that most of the country doesn’t remember them at all except for the narrative sold to the public that all the Ruby Ridge and Branch Davidian deaths were justified because they were armed terrorists.
Merely having arms brand you in any conflict with the government, much less firing back in defense of your life.
FBI == Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organization
Hardly.
It just pinpoints the incident in which they were caught with sufficient publicity to catch public attention.
Don’t forget it has proven itself capable of framing people it knows to be innocent... see Richard Jewell for an example of that.
“Don’t forget it has proven itself capable of framing people it knows to be innocent... see Richard Jewell for an example of that.”
The FBI went out of their way to frame Richard Jewell all the while protecting Eric Rudolph.
Day of formation.
Remember WACO.
Looks like they finally raided Mar-a-lago correctly this time.
