This article will make you angry. The US Government is actively seeking those who criticize government, specifically Barack Obama, and arresting them without charging them. They are remanded to mental health institutions where they are given “training” on how to view the world. Remind you of a little book that George Orwell wrote? It gets worse. Most of the victims of the government’s kidnapping scheme are veterans.
From The Rutherford Institute:
In the four years since the start of Operation Vigilant Eagle, the government has steadily ramped up its campaign to “silence” dissidents, especially those with military backgrounds. Coupled with the DHS’ dual reports on Rightwing and Leftwing “Extremism,” which broadly define extremists as individuals and groups “that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely,” these tactics have boded ill for anyone seen as opposing the government.
One particularly troubling mental health label being applied to veterans and others who challenge the status quo is “oppositional defiance disorder” (ODD). As journalist Anthony Martin explains, an ODD diagnosis
“denotes that the person exhibits ‘symptoms’ such as the questioning of authority, the refusal to follow directions, stubbornness, the unwillingness to go along with the crowd, and the practice of disobeying or ignoring orders. Persons may also receive such a label if they are considered free thinkers, nonconformists, or individuals who are suspicious of large, centralized government… At one time the accepted protocol among mental health professionals was to reserve the diagnosis of oppositional defiance disorder for children or adolescents who exhibited uncontrollable defiance toward their parents and teachers.”
The case of 26-year-old decorated Marine Brandon Raub—who was targeted because of his Facebook posts, interrogated by government agents about his views on government corruption, arrested with no warning, labeled mentally ill for subscribing to so-called “conspiratorial” views about the government, detained against his will in a psych ward for standing by his views, and isolated from his family, friends and attorneys—is a prime example of the government’s war on veterans.
Raub’s case exposes the seedy underbelly of a governmental system that is targeting Americans—especially military veterans—for expressing their discontent over America’s rapid transition to a police state. Here is a news story by RT (Russian Times) about Brandon Raub. Apparently the corporate media in the United States won’t tell his story:

To underscore how big this story truly is, John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute is the lead attorney defending the innocent victims targeted by the Obama Thought Police. Whitehead is quite famous for his defense of the Bill of Rights for the past several decades.
This is big. Obama wants everybody to think like a brain-dead zombie while he transforms America into Orwell’s 1984. Wake up.

Only a hardcore Trekker would get that.
The question is: what do we propose to do about it?
Does any one know who holds the FACTS on this case?
If shillary can expose our country to national security emails and such, then obuma should leave the country while he still can...
You can only put so much pressure on something before it blows up and this country is just about to do that...and it doesn’t matter how many ‘cops’ there are, or how many of obuma’s muslim brotherhood armies there are, there are more citizens with guns and ammo....don’t temp the ‘viper’ it will come back and take you out....
I've been a 'dissenter' to what the 'gooberment' has been up to for a long time. I'm also a vet. My question is, when are these jackwagons going to get around to little old me?

Bet Sheriff Arpio gets taged with that soon.

Please stop with the Bullcrap. We have enough serious issue to deal with.
Stupid Kardashians! :-)
How do you know? I have tape over my camera.

Too late, the WORLD WIDE WEB has already ensnared you
One of my favorite episodes.
By “question authority” they only mean to derail the moral instruction of youth. Their own authority should never be questioned.

Back when that sticker was on the back of their VW bus, they were Young Socialists. Now that they are Old Socialists with the sticker on the back of their Volvo, Lexus, or Mercedes, it just doesn’t mean the same thing.
So the Islamist nuts can talk about severing heads all day and that’s OK but let a veteran say it and their a## is thrown in a mental hospital.
