Suspect for FBI Raid on 91-Year-Old Indiana Artifact Collector Identified

Who accused 91-Year-Old Donald Miller of what has been unclear.  Speculation involving his numerous technological achievements have run rampant as people simply did not believe that the government would send 50-100 FBI agents to check out the collection of artifacts that this former member of the Manhattan project had gathered over the last 80 years.

But the unbelievable has become a bit more plausible  as more information has dribbled out.   Mr. Miller has not been charged with any crime, and maintains his innocence.   He claims that all his materials have been collected legally.

Others have speculated that envious collectors associated with the Obama administration are involved, that a museum coveted his collection, or that he is a Republican, and therefore subject to "special" treatment.   

The truth may lie somewhere in between.  In this article from wthr.com, it is revealed that a leftist Native American group, AIM, has an interest in the case:

An organization representing Native Americans believe human remains are buried among thousands and thousands of artifacts collected by Donald Miller in the U.S. and around the world.

The FBI investigation and massive effort to recover thousands of invaluable artifacts is being watched by the American Indian Movement. Until recently, its local chairman lived only a half-hour away from the Rush County site.

"We are glad something like this has happened," said Albert Runningwolf, American Indian Movement.

 Is the raid "payback" for support among leftist Native Americans?

With  the lack of transparency that has come to be expected from this administration, we may never know for sure. 

The idea that you have to "prove" that you legally own something that is in your possession upends the tatters of the fourth amendment and the presumption of innocence.    It moves us away from the core value of American jurisprudence, that whatever is not forbidden is allowed, and toward the core tyranny of authoritarian regimes where "whatever is not permitted is forbidden".

Pure spite and covetousness.

As I posted earlier, AIM didn’t “believe” a damn thing!

The INVENTED the pretext of “human remains” to make the false report.

They need to be in JAIL for making a false accusation.

The facebook comments on the original WRTV article were being slammed by an apparent Native American Activist from Purdue, accusing Mr. Miller of all sorts of felonies.

Mr. Miller appears to be a straight-up guy who obviously wasn’t trying to flaut the law, since he was allowing groups to tour his home.

Time for some shooting back.

[nascarnation]

Well if you’re an FBI agent, would you want to be taking down illegal guns and drugs in the ‘hood, or roughing up a 91 yr old guy in the boondocks?

[Paladin2]

"Authorities said Miller has been fully cooperative so far and he is not considered a criminal suspect. "

These days, he's in real legal trouble.

As was noted earlier, their are numerous treaties and laws that are rather vague and which make it nearly impossible to live without breaking them.

It is anarcho-tyranny.

There are thousands of laws on the books that should be simply repealed.

[jjotto]

Yep, the ‘roid-raging, donut-munching federal cops got that down. If they abuse or murder a few innocents along the way, well, heck, as long as they get home safe before bloated pensions kick in!

[digger48]

or roughing up a 91 yr old guy in the boondocks?

Especially a 91 yo that was involved in the Manhattan Project, NASA and was instrumental in the development of transponder technology, among other things

[marktwain]

Thanks for the link. I had not seen the post.

But, but they're Native Americans, meaning what, that they came here and took the the land from someone before someone else took it from them? They sure as hell didn't just sprout out of Coyotes butt! As I say they're Native Americans, they can't lie, that's what the evil White man does! Right?

[Paladin2]

Well, apparently the guy had an array of large legged antennas.

He could'a been in cahoots with aliens.

[digger48]

I just want this story out there to as many as possible.

[Paladin2]

Actually, according to simple English, I’m a native American.

[Paladin2]

I'm surprised that Indiana is still allowed to have the letters "Indian" in their State name.

[VRWC For Truth]

I hope he doesn’t have a dog.

Yes but they are special native Americans. You know, the non existent, live as one with the earth, peaceful, stewards of the land. Not the wage war on other tribes, enslave captives, stampede buffalo herds over cliffs native Americans.
