A traditional Catholic family was allegedly “dragged out of their home at gunpoint, handcuffed and locked in a van” earlier this year after the FBI “goaded” their 15-year-old son to post “offensive memes” online. The teen, a volunteer firefighter and altar boy, was then hospitalized on mental health pretenses, according to his father, Jeremiah Rufini.

All we've come to expect from the Dementia Joe Administration, and (presumably) his puppet-handlers, Lord Pharaoah 0moeba and ValJar.

We now live in a prison nation. Now they are going to start shaking down our cells one at a time.

Has there been any reporting if FBI agents or informers were goading Craig Robertson into making anti-Biden social media threats ?

Why have the FBI and DOJ focused on traditional Catholics? There are more conservative Protestants. However, the majority are fundamentalist Baptist, Bible church or Pentecostal/charismatic and are dispensational. As such, they are inclined to wait for the Rapture rather than be drawn into violent talk. There are traditional Lutherans, Reformed/Presbyterians, and Church of Christ adherents who are amillennial like the traditional Catholics, but there numbers are few. Mennonites, traditional Orthodox Christians, fundamentalist Mormons,and Ultra Orthodox Jews are focused on their own communities and again are small in numbers.

Additionally, the traditional Catholics have effectively seceded from the liberal Catholic hierarchy, a bigger step than in the Protestant world, where as soon as the pastor shows signs of liberalism, conservatives just move to a more Biblical congregation. The Deep State believes that the large numbers of Catholics who despise Pope Francis and the American bishops pose a threat to the regime. So they use the FBI to engage in entrapment techniques the agency has used for decades.

Lotta “quotations” in that. I wonder what their definitions of “goaded” and “offensive memes” really are? “Something” “seems” “odd”.

[ConservativeMind]

I agree with that general assessment.

[ConservativeMind]

Our Dear Leaders do not want anyone posting offensive things online.

Only Dear Leader-approved speech is allowed!

Biden’s gestapo. Where will it all end?

Biden’s gestapo. Where will it all end?

The rat gestapo wants it to end in genocide.

“They are inclined to wait for the Rapture” is an interesting choice of words. Christians have been “waiting” for 1500 years. Is that what God wanted do you think? For us to wait? Why don’t we “work” towards the rapture instead of using it as a form of fire insurance? For instance, by expressing the truth on every occasion that we can and supporting those who are having difficulty. Or even by loving each other and not tearing our brothers apart. Etc.

[crusty old prospector]

What was the meme?

[grey_whiskers]

I don’t know, I didn’t see it in the article myself.

[Uncle Miltie]

An “offensive meme”?

Oh noes! Construct a gallows!

[nicollo]

The FBI’s aggressive “investigation” only resulted in a misdemeanor conviction against the boy for breach of peace, but financially devastated the family with substantial legal expenses.

Got what they wanted, then. What a strange, sad nexus, that of Southern Poverty Law Center and the Vatican.

Btw, the FIB scam was to use a "Catholic online chat group" to push the kid into taking pictures of himself in public wearing a ski mask and leaving printouts of "memes" on picnic tables (the horrors!). How that constitutes "breach of piece," only a marxist DOJ prosecutor can say, as burning cities, apparently, isn't even a misdemeanor.

[Mlheureux]

What law did this boy break? Also, entrapment by the fbi. They are definitely on these sites. Our govt has become a national socialist weapon of destruction.

[Jolla]

I am somewhat ashamed to say for the last couple of years since the rise of the DOJ gestapo state and the FBI in action I have often typed out a few thoughts here on FR only to delete them knowing we are being followed by the FBI and our files are being filled.

From an amillennial standpoint, the standard position among Catholics and the conservatives in Reformed, Lutheran, and Campbellite Protestant denominations, active participation in improving the world is secondary only to spreading the Gospel. That is especially true with postmillenialists, mostly found among very conservative Presbyterians who follow the teachings of Rousas Rushdoony.

Dispensationalists tend to be inconsistent at times. The Christian Right of 30 years ago had dispensationalists such as Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell as the most prominent leaders. However, dispensationalists tend to read Biblical events in news headlines. With the attack by Hamas on Israel and the emergence of an anti-Western alliance of China, Russia, and Iran, many prominent Baptist preachers like Dr. Jeffers in Dallas are seeing the Rapture as imminent. Why bother rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic when the iceberg is approaching, they would say.

Isn’t a meme like a political cartoon and protected?
