One of the reasons I thought I should post these excerpts is to counter the notion that the idea was not treated seriously--or that it was laughed off. It was not. It was considered very seriously and there were others who supported it.

The fact remains, you have failed to make the point that any government agency took this seriously enough to consider it to be a criminal act.

Hotheaded BS? -- , to be sure.. Some of those involved were obviously highly impressed by their own tough guy talk. -- Big Deal. -- Get a grip, 'hon' baby.

Take off your blue shades, and calm yourself.. FR doesn't need your brand of weird contra agit-prop, imo.

"The fact remains,"

This usually precedes a fact-free assertion when a troll intones it.

"you have failed to make the point that any government agency took this seriously enough to consider it to be a criminal act."

I never sought to make any points. I'm trying to relate information to the forum.

But as a matter of fact, your own assertion might be open to question since Nicosia quoted the following from the FBI (which I believe is a government agency):

On December 22, 1971, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover sent a classified memo to the director of the Jacksonville office, dealing specifically with Camil. It read in part: "Information developed to date regarding subject [Camil] indicates clearly subject is extremely dangerous and unstable individual whose activities must be neutralized at earliest possible time."

Given that there was very little time for Camil do have done anything in the short time following the KC meeting, this FBI memo almost certainly indicates that they had gotten wind of this plot. "Hotheaded BS?" You're soaking in it! "FR doesn't need your brand of weird contra agit-prop, imo."

Folks, TPaine is another one of the trolls who have joined a campaign to try to drive me from Free Republic. I didn't know he was an owner or even a moderator. All I can say is that it is tiresome and not conducive to my efforts here, which many say they appreciate.

I know that FR has a history of driving away good posters who present valuable information. Tpaine and the trolls are the people who do that. Why not put an end to all of that?

Sorry, my formatting got a little botched, and I wouldn't want you to be confused:

"Hotheaded BS?"

You're soaking in it!

"FR doesn't need your brand of weird contra agit-prop, imo."

Forum cop!

The fact remains, you have failed to make the point that any government agency took this seriously enough to consider it to be a criminal act.

So, you're trusting the government's judgement?

You're right. It was just a plot to assassinate a few U.S. senators. No biggie.
