This story appears in Tuesday's issue of The Lufkin Daily News, 10/6/08. This is totally absurd regardless of what party you choose to support in the Presidential campaign.
On Wednesday the 1st of October I received a call on my cell while in the car with my husband. It was a woman who identified herself as calling from the Obama Campaign. The phone # she called from was 903-798-6020 which lists as "Obama Volunteers of Texarkana " (Texas).
She asked if I was an Obama supporter to which I replied:
"No, I don't support him, your guy is a socialist who voted four times in the State Senate to let little babies die in hospital closets; I think you should find something better to do with your time." I hung up.
Thursday, October 2, I answered the front door to find the Secret Service. Immediately I thought of the call and was furious that apparently you are not allowed to call Obama a Socialist without the Secret Service coming to investigate. Instead, they asked me about the following comment, relayed by the Obama Volunteer of Texarkana who called me, unsolicited on my cell phone:
"I will never support Obama and he will wind up dead on a hospital floor." My husband laughed and told them "No, she called him a socialist but she never said a word about him dying.”I gave them my actual quote. The woman asked insolently “Oh? Well why would she make that up?”I replied that I supposed she wasn't happy about what I said about her candidate and the Agent said, "That's right, you were rude!" The last time I checked being rude wasn't a crime in America .
Luckily the big file they had gathered on me didn't indicate mental instability or a past life of stalking/crime, however they did want to know how I felt about Obama. That was my limit. I told the Agent in no uncertain terms that my thoughts were not pertinent to their investigation, that this was America and the last time I checked I was allowed to think whatever I wanted without being questioned by the Secret Service. In fact, even if I had said what she claimed, that isn't a threat. I told them (again) and my husband verified that the statement reported by Obama's volunteer was a lie. I asked them if there was a tape of the call and they said no. I said, "So on the word of a ticked off Obama supporter you are on my porch with no other evidence and you want to question me about my THOUGHTS!?" They informed me that there was no evidence she was an Obama supporter. Someone calling from his campaign. Are you kidding?
I was not allowed to know the name of my accuser at which point they informed me that it wasn't like I was in a court of law, YET, as if this was a good thing. I recognized this as a veiled threat. I told them I would happily go to court since I did nothing wrong and at least then my accuser would have to face me rather than sending the thought police to my house.
They then said they were trying to do me a favor, that they came to me first before embarrassing you by going to all your neighbors and family. Another threat? I told them to be my guest and talk to whomever they wanted but they weren't going to investigate my thoughts on my porch.
They also informed me that it would be easier if the next time a supporter calls me I just say "Yeah sure count me in, or just hang up" apparently so she won't get her undies in a bundle and give them more useless trips. Yeah right. I said "Look, someone calls me unsolicited on my cell phone to ask me to support their candidate and I can't tell them why I don't?" I said I was sorry they made a wasted trip but if they had a problem with some made up lie they needed to go talk to her about it because it wasn't my fault they had to drive from Houston for nothing.
At one point I went inside and got a notepad to record their badge numbers and they refused to show me their badges. They had done the quick flip when they arrived. I asked for a card and the female Agent refused to give me one stating “You're not going to get a card.” The male Agent gave me a card and told me I could contact Houston with any questions.
The fact that the volunteer lied, the fact that the Secret Service came to my house to question me about my thoughts and feelings and threaten to embarrass me to my neighbors and go to court if I didn't cooperate is not really the tragedy here. Because that girl on the phone doesn't have the pull to send the Secret Service to my home. Someone high in the ranks of a campaign working for a man who may be the next President of the United States of America felt comfortable bringing the force of the Federal Government to bear on a private citizen on nothing but the word of a partisan volunteer.
I want to file a counter complaint that false charges were made, that a false report was given to a peace officer. The Secret Service told me I cannot because they will protect the identity of the complainant. I also want the file they have on me destroyed and I want to know that my phone isn't tapped, et cetera. I am hearing a lot of "Out of my Jurisdiction."
Do I also hear jackboots?

I was born in Lufkin-—and can get a Birth Certificate in the Angelina County Courthouse there in 15 minutes!
And I suspect that is true for most if not all of the remaining States of the USA. However I believe that Obama is playing this for the publicity that it continues to get him among the internet, etc. I don’t think this issue loses him any of his supporters nor does it gain him any. Thus no need to come forward and put the controversy to rest. jmo.
Love this cool morning.
Isn't it nice! I had to turn the heat on to break the chill.
Just a small glimpse of what the future holds for Americans. Thought crimes against the state ripped right out of the pages of the book '1984' authored by Orson Welles.
Very well said.
This needs to be sent to the Houston newspapers, the Texas Congressional delagates, and the head of the Secret Service.
Not that they’d understand or do anything about it, but they need to know there’s an intelligent, well-argued rebutal to these tactics.
I’m certainly dismayed though, that someone in the SS doesn’t realize they’ve been gamed and do something about the gamer. If I was SS, that would piss me off if I wasted time and resources on someone filing a false report. Even if I could never really tell in a “he said, she said” situation, I’d certainly go back to the originator with a followup interview. And I would let them know I wasn’t happy, and at least as stern to the complaintant as they were to this woman.
Also, forgot to mention, this reflects badly on the SS. If you think about it, just the publicity on this website hurts their credibility and respect for their professional conduct with some naturally pretty strong and vocal supporters of law and order.
Those are things the SS needs to perform well, just as much as agents, bullets, and guns.
I think one of the problems right now is that all of the incentives drive the Secret Service toward more intrusive investigation and less concern for civil liberties because there is no downside to them for heavy handedness but God help the agents and their supervisor who miss an actual assassin.
I admire this woman standing up for herself. If they are going to take me down, they’ll do it with me kicking and screaming all the way.
Never will i sheepfully submit to tyranny.

Somewhere up the food chain that is the national government and the SS, there is someone with a love for our Republic, her Constitution and her people. Perhaps having opinions such as ours expressed well, can give them just enough push to reign some of that in.
We’re still a political country. Support of the citizenry, especially the doers and stalwarts that generally make up the conservative side, counts. It’s hard to get your budget approved when our type of folks are angry at you. In any case, shining the light on thse types of things needs to be done. I consider it our duty as citizens to do so.
Note: I sent an email to my very good senators Jeff Sessions and Richard Shelby asking if they can check with the SS and find out if anyone is going to check and see if a false report was filed by the Texarkana Obama campaign. I let them know I eagerly expect an answer, as any, even perceived, abuse of power greatly concerns me. I am only concerned, you see, that the SS I so greatly admired is not abused by political people. I’m sure the SS appreciates my and other conservatives strong support....yada yada, Yours Respectfully, etc.
Never, in my wildest dreams, did I ever think the GESTAPO would ever come to America!
I saw this story several days ago. Thanks for the ping.
I think we can both agree that we have much to agree on here. We both see the need to protect the democratic process by protecting the person of the president. We see the need to investigate explicit threats. We both agree that safeguards should be imposed in the system to avoid abuse not least among them being some sort of sanction against malicious tipsters. We are both concerned about potential abuses arising here or arising out of the war on terrorism. We both want to make sure that the safeguards, like independent judicial review, prevent these investigations from morphing into some sort of sinister gestapo operation.
I think we both agree that the actual threat here as reportedly stated by the Secret Service, "I will never support Obama and he will wind up dead on a hospital floor", is not in itself an explicit although it comes close, especially to the ear of a Secret Service investigator experienced enough to know that hearsay is notoriously inaccurate and precise words cannot be relied upon. So to err on the side of caution, an investigation is conducted.
But, assuming the facts as set forth by the original poster accurate, what happens to the investigation after the agents leave the object' s porch? An official file of the United States government has been created in which there is a solemnly written allegation that the object of the investigation has threatened the president. It may further state that the object of the investigation has been obstreperous with the investigator. It is not clear whether the file is protected against dissemination. Will this person's name appear on a no-fly list? Will she be denied access to the seat of government to exercise their constitutional right for the redress of grievances? Will she be denied a security clearance? A government job?
Has this occurred to this woman? Has it occurred to others? Has a chilling effect on speech occurred? And is not the speech affected the most precious speech of all, political speech? Does not the protection of political speech at the most critical time, in a political campaign, have a significant value to a free and democratic society which must be weighed against the intrusions justified to protect a presidential candidate?
Beyond free speech, there are other liberties such as the independent right to be left alone from government intrusion that must be weighed against the risks. My point, and I have no doubt it is a point with which you will agree, is that there has been no systematic, institutional, or legal consideration of the balancing of competing values which must be done in a free and democratic society. We both want some sort of judicial review , we both want to protect the rights of the "accused," we both want a series of safeguards put in place. We both want due process. We won't get that until some transparency is brought into this system.
The weighing process has not been done, or at least has not been done thoroughly enough and I have no doubt that we both agree about that.
Candor compels me to state that this discussion does not occur in a vacuum but in the context of a likely election of Barak Obama who has demonstrated a disturbing propensity to intimidate those who would exercise political free speech. He will be armed with considerable powers coming out of the war on terrorism. There will be few institutional barriers to him getting his way. For example, a majority Democratic Congress has already expressed its intention to oppose the fairness doctrine and eliminate free speech on talk radio. I would not be honest if I did not say that these apprehensions caused me to place more weight on the side of freedom from government intrusion. To the degree that that is a partisan reaction rather than a disinterested consideration which might be offered up in one of The Federalist Papers, I plead guilty.
Thank you again for a thoughtful piece.
Comade! You were quite fortunate not to been taken to the Ministry of Love and interrogated by the Thought Police in Room 101!
However, other members of the Outer Party like Comrade Jerry Blanchard are not so lucky!
This is his story by Comrade Ronbo...A Comrade the Thought Police will soon vaporize, I predict.
“FREE JERRY M. BLANCHARD FROM THE SS!”
Barack The Magic Negro Obama has not been elected President of the United States, but already his SS agents (The U.S. Secret Service – This elite Praetorian Presidential Guard is not to be confused with the Schutzstaffel SS Praetorian Guard of Adolf Hitler that murdered and imprisoned millions of innocent people in the Second World War) are out arresting and sending to prison those whom they deem are enemies of The Lord Messiah Obama. One such individual is Jerry M Blanchard of Charlotte, North Carolina. Mr. Blanchard is currently being held at FCI (Federal Correctional Institute) Butner, North Carolina for allegedly threatening to assassinate The Lord Messiah Obama and, more importantly, calling him the “Anti-Christ.”
The foundation of the SS case(The U.S. Secret Service – This elite Praetorian Presidential Guard is not to be confused with the Schutzstaffel SS Praetorian Guard of Adolf Hitler that murdered and imprisoned millions of innocent people in the Second World War)against Mr. Blanchard rests on the testimony of a few people who allegedly overheard Mr. Blanchard make threatening remarks concerning The Remarkable Obama. It would appear these days Democrats have developed a keen sense of hearing threats against The Wonderful Obama that were never spoken. These sensitive and patriotic American citizens who have no doubt have memorized the telephone numbers of equally sensitive and patriotic members of the elite SS (The U.S. Secret Service – This elite Praetorian Presidential Guard is not to be confused with the Schutzstaffel SS Praetorian Guard of Adolf Hitler that murdered and imprisoned millions of innocent people in the Second World War) who never seem to find it out of place when Democrats and other Leftists as a matter of routine threaten the life of President Bush by way of books, movies, conversations overheard in most upper West side bars in New York City and in scores of Leftist Internet website like Daily Kos. After all, Bush is a fascist warmonger and baby killer who deserves no respect according to Leftists, Democrats and the SS (The U.S. Secret Service – This elite Praetorian Presidential Guard is not to be confused with the Schutzstaffel SS Praetorian Guard of Adolf Hitler that murdered and imprisoned millions of innocent people in the Second World War)
Thus Jerry M Blanchard, a stalwart Republican who actually believed that such a thing as the First Amendment still exists, made some conversations that were extremely politically incorrect and perhaps even very critical of His Excellency Obama, but given the context of a holocaust of Leftist hate speech and death threats directed against President Bush, Senator McCain, Governor Palin, the Boy Scouts and Mickey Mouse , Mr. Blanchard’s remarks were pretty much typical American political speech of 2008. The SS (The U.S. Secret Service – This elite Praetorian Presidential Guard is not to be confused with the Schutzstaffel SS Praetorian Guard of Adolf Hitler that murdered and imprisoned millions of innocent people in the Second World War) did not see these alleged threatening comment reliably reported by Leftists concerning His Highness Obama in a laissez-faire political speech mode; no this was the beginning of dastardly conservative conspiracy to terminate with extreme prejudice His Holiness Obama. The Manchurian Candidate who has as good as won the election on November 4th and will no doubt be very grateful and generous towards members of the elite SS (The U.S. Secret Service – This elite Praetorian Presidential Guard is not to be confused with the Schutzstaffel SS Praetorian Guard of Adolf Hitler that murdered and imprisoned millions of innocent people in the Second World War) who are so keen as to start arresting and throwing into prison conservatives before He takes office.
I may be a silly old Republican, but exactly what federal statute did Mr. Blanchard violate? This assuming he violated any law. I notice that U.S.C. 879 that Mr. Blanchard was indicted under refers to a “major party candidate. ” What is the definition of a “major party?” I’m sure many Republicans feel the Democrats are “major” only in the context that they are major league socialists. No doubt many Democrats feel the Republicans are a tiny minor minority party they can legislate out of existence if The Holy One Obama receives enough stolen votes from ACORN to become president. The devil is in the definition and since the statute doesn’t define a “major party” on this issue alone is Mr. Blanchard free from arrest unless Congress passes something like the “Obama Protection Act of 2008.” Also, what about due process of law, Writ of Habeas Corpus, bail and all those other republican safeguards of the inalienable Rights of Man and Citizen? I suppose under the new “Obama Protection Act of 2008” such old fashioned notions are out of style and a mere indictment by a Grand Jury which meets in secret and is staffed by secret members who hear only secret government testimony is enough to send an innocent man to prison. I understand the more advanced members of the elite SS (The U.S. Secret Service – This elite Praetorian Presidential Guard is not to be confused with the Schutzstaffel SS Praetorian Guard of Adolf Hitler that murdered and imprisoned millions of innocent people in the Second World War) have sent a memordum to their Director with a highly advanced idea of how to end this bottleneck in the jails full of Obama critics waiting for judges and Grand Juries – Allow the SS (The U.S. Secret Service – This elite Praetorian Presidential Guard is not to be confused with the Schutzstaffel SS Praetorian Guard of Adolf Hitler that murdered and imprisoned millions of innocent people in the Second World War) to simply arrest and send to prison anyone who they think may be critical towards The Supreme Leader Obama. The memo notes this worked well in Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia where never a harsh word was said about The Leadership for many years. Yes sir! Say something hateful or allegedly racist about The Great Thinker Obama, like calling him The Magic Negro, and off you to go prison. No lawyer. No bail. Just jail. I’m thinking billboard signs all across the USA with a picture of The Fearless Leader Obama and this logo on it.
But back to poor Mr. Blanchard ,who after spending over a month in a single jail cell with a dozen members of The Nation of Islam also called “The Klan With The Tan” and converts to the most racist element of Islam to save his life, is finally released by the SS (The U.S. Secret Service – This elite Praetorian Presidential Guard is not to be confused with the Schutzstaffel SS Praetorian Guard of Adolf Hitler that murdered and imprisoned millions of innocent people in the Second World War)— Well perhaps released is not quite the word – he is transported to the very nice federal prison at Butner staffed by polite guards wearing coat and ties who in a very friendly manner escort Mr. Blanchard to his very own private cell in the Isolation Unit complete with security cameras and 24/7 security guards at taxpayer expense. The number one rule of the Isolation Unit is security. The security is so good here in the Isolation Unit that men go crazy and howl all day and night in the comfort of maximum security. Mr. Blanchard gets his security meals approved by the Federal Diet Agency and containing no more than 500 calories by way of a hole in the door three times day. The laundry is changed once a week and Mr, Blanchard receives a fresh security one piece red federal inmate uniform by way of the security food slot once a week. Also once a week Mr. Blanchard receives his security bath that will not include a razor due to Security Concerns. Mr. Blanchard will not receive recreation, mail, visits, or be allowed reading materials also due to Security Concerns. The Federal BOP (Bureau of Prisons) is not being unkind to Mr. Blanchard, a dangerous revolutionary and assassin who could raise an army torch bearing peasants that would storm the nearest castle looking for The Monster Obama, it’s simply Security Concerns. Did I mention security suicide watch? The BOP has learned over many years that political prisoners for some reason become depressed and kill themselves. This is unacceptable Security Concern because blood all over the cell my infect a politically correct staff member who thinks only good thoughts about The Chosen One and has applied for a job with the SS (The U.S. Secret Service – This elite Praetorian Presidential Guard is not to be confused with the
Schutzstaffel SS Praetorian Guard of Adolf Hitler that murdered and imprisoned millions of innocent people in the Second World War).
Alas, all good things must end some day! One fine morning Mr. Blanchard missed because his subterranean cell had no skylight, the keys rattle in the door of his maximum security cell and there before his sleepy eyes stands the prison’s heavily armed SWAT team dressed head to toe in black to take him to the Interrogation...err...Conference Room. There under the hot lights a tag team of SS agents (The U.S. Secret Service – This elite Praetorian Presidential Guard is not to be confused with the Schutzstaffel SS Praetorian Guard of Adolf Hitler that murdered and imprisoned millions of innocent people in the Second World War) grill him for hour after hour with questions and commands:
Confess your guilt!
Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Republican Party?
We want to know the names of everyone in your sleeper cell!
Why do you have DVDs of Road Runner cartoons?
Tell us everything you know about Ronbo!
And so forth.
As is well known to civil rights Guardians of The Republic like the Communist ACLU, torture is forbidden by federal law, however, sending an innocent man to prison without due process and putting him into a cell full racist black fascists and then sending him to an isolation cell in the high security wing of a prison and then hauling him out to be seated under hot lights until he confesses – this not torture. This is simply extremism in the defense of liberty. The federal courts have so ruled.
Remarkably Mr. Blanchard holds out. He won’t even tell the SS agents (The U.S. Secret Service – This elite Praetorian Presidential Guard is not to be confused with the Schutzstaffel SS Praetorian Guard of Adolf Hitler that murdered and imprisoned millions of innocent people in the Second World War) anything about Ronbo. He says nothing. He’s knows nothing. He sees nothing. After 48 hours of intense interrogations and not allowed to sleep he begins to have visions that he’s an American officer in Nazi POW camp by the name of Colonel Hogan. “Where the hell is Sergeant Schultz?” He keeps yelling over and over so long the SS agents (The U.S. Secret Service – This elite Praetorian Presidential Guard is not to be confused with the Schutzstaffel SS Praetorian Guard of Adolf Hitler that murdered and imprisoned millions of innocent people in the Second World War) start wondering if they do indeed have an innocent man in their hands.
The conversation between the agents went something like this:
Agent One: Remember Ronbo? I heard he was innocent.
Agent Two: I heard he was innocent too. I remember reading that somewhere on the Internet.
Agent One: Never mind. We go to Plan B. I’ve already cleared it with the Director.
Agent Two: What’s Plan B?
Agent One: DRUGS! DRUGS!! MORE DRUGS!!! Didn’t you go to Interrogation 101 at the Academy? We need a court order, but all we have to tell the judge is he’s crazy, and he will be totally insane after we give him the drugs.
Agent Two: It didn’t work on Ronbo.
Agent One: The drugs only work if the suspect is sane. Ronbo was insane and harmless. All the drugs did was turn him sane and dangerous. This is why we never give drugs to the insane. Now get me Judge Aisha Muhammad on the phone!
At some point in Plan “B” poor Mr. Blanchard confesses to the attempted assassination of the Anti-Christ. He also confesses to being James Dean, Lee Harvey Oswald, Martin Luther, George Washington and Ronbo. The SS agents (The U.S. Secret Service – This elite Praetorian Presidential Guard is not to be confused with the Schutzstaffel SS Praetorian Guard of Adolf Hitler that murdered and imprisoned millions of innocent people in the Second World War) rush him to the nearest U.S. Attorney, a Democrat Socialist Muslim woman wearing a head to toe black burka, who agrees to a very generous plea bargain she hammered out in five minutes of hard negotiations with Blanchard’s Federal Court Appointed Attorney. The deal is this: If Mr. Blanchard agrees to plead guilty before a federal judge and not attempt to bring matters of small importance to the attention of the court like violations civil rights, Writ of Habeas Corpus, torture and so forth, she, the U.S. Attorney, who swears to Allah and the 72 Virgins of Paradise, will see to it personally that Mr. Blanchard will receive no more than 13 months in prison with time served at Club Fed on the beach in Florida with convicted Democrat Congressmen as roommates who are working on their tans. This means Mr. Blanchard is looking at little more than a year prison time. Mr. Blanchard looks at the U.S. Attorney with blood shot eyes framed by a head of hair and wild bushy beard and slurs in a drugged voice, “Will you let me go right now if I tell you everything I know about Ronbo? I know I confessed to being Ronbo, but I really don’t know anything about him. If you would only tell me something about him I’ll tell you right back.”
The offer is refused.
(AP) Today Jerry M. Blanchard was sentenced to 120 months in prison and three years probation for the attempted assassination of The Great Helmsman Obama and obstruction of justice after pleading guilty before a federal court. When asked by the judge if he had anything to say before sentencing Mr. Blanchard made a very strange remark, “I know the identity of Ronbo....I’m Ronbo!” Mr. Blanchard has been sent to USP Atlanta where he has been placed in a cell with five members of the Nation of Islam due to his conversion to the Muslim faith while in jail.
THE ARTICLE ABOVE IS POLITICAL SATIRE THAT BEARS A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP TO THE TRUTH LIKE ALL GOOD SATIRE. IT IS PROTECTED SPEECH UNDER THE FIRST AMENDMENT. THE AUTHOR HAS NEVER MET JERRY M. BLANCHARD OR AS HAD CONTACT WITH HIM. THIS SATIRE WAS PRODUCED WITH THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF GAINING PUBLIC ATTENTION TO HIS PRESENT CONDITION AS A POLITICAL PRISONER. THE AUTHOR DOES NOT ADVOCATE VIOLENCE DIRECTED AGAINST THE LORD MESSIAH OBAMA EVEN IF HE TURNS OUT TO BE THE ANTI-CHRIST AND THE DESTROYER OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC. WHAT GOD DOES TO HIM IS ANOTHER MATTER FAR ABOVE THE PAY GRADE OF SERGEANT RONBO.
Also:
THE AUTHOR HAS NOTHING BUT CONTEMPT FOR THE UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE! THIS ORGANIZATION IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. IT SHOULD BE DISBANDED AND PROTECTION OF THE PRESIDENT GIVEN OVER TO HONEST MEN AND WOMEN OF THE ARMED FORCES.
The U.S. Secret Service – This elite Praetorian Presidential Guard is not to be confused with the Schutzstaffel (Protection Squad) SS Praetorian Guard that murdered and imprisoned millions of innocent people in the Second World War which began its existence as a few agents charged with the protection of Adolf Hitler.
THE LAST WORD:
JERRY M BLANCHARD 23096-058 48 White M —Jerry is being held at FCI Butner, NC. I’m in the process of contacting him. To my knowledge Jerry has not been tried, yet he is already an inmate in a federal prison and given a prison number! What happened to the Writ of Habeas Corpus? Bail?
This is chilling folks!!! So now anyone the SS says is a “threat” to Obama can be arrested, accused of being a nut case, sent to a prison psycho ward, and given drugs and “treatment” against his will. No lawyer. No bail. Just jail.
This is happening today in the USA and not Soviet Russia in the 1970s when political opponents of the Communist regime were deemed “Insane” and given drugs which ruined their minds and health. I say we form a “Get Jerry Out Of Jail” chapter. As I see it with the massive violation of his Constitutional rights, Jerry should be immediately released and paid a large dollar amount for damages. Also, the SS agents in charge need to be indicted for major civil rights violations. The old “I was only doing my duty” routine died in the Nazi war crime trials.
Jerry’s address:

*Please feel free to send money. A U.S. Postal Money Order is best and it’s very important to put the inmate register number on the check along with the name, otherwise the Government will cash it and use the money for their own purposes. Even a small amount of money..$5 or $10 is big money inside and very important since many needed personal items aren’t issued by the prison. What say you? This guy is a registered Republican and now a political prisoner abandoned by nearly everyone for the high crime of being against Obama and saying so. There but for the Grace of God go all members of Free Republic.
I disagree. No one is above the law. If SS agents knowingly and willing violate the law they are criminally responsible for their actions. If SS agents obey the illegal orders of their superiors to violate the civil rights of an American citizen both the agents and the supervisors are criminally liable under the law.
The only difference between a rat and a secret policeman is the secret police have better PR.
