Just released, a Marine Veteran, Brandon Raub who served in Iraq and Afghanistan was taken by FBI and Secret Service agents around 7 p.m. on August 15, 2012 for his patriotic non-violent Facebook postings.

According to his mother on a radio talk show hosted by Josh Tolley, she said, “He was handcuffed, was not read his rights…I want that to be heard very clear. He was not read his rights…he was handcuffed, put in the back seat in Chesterfield County, Virginia police department vehicle. And um, he was taken to…directly to John Randall Psychiatric Hospital in Hopewell, Virginia and that is where he is right now.”

“Now what I was told by an FBI Agent, her name is Sargent...I’m sorry, Agent Sherry Granger…she called me on my phone and told me that I am with the FBI and we have taken your son. And he has been arrested by the Chesterfield police department because he assaulted and resisted arrest. He assaulted an officer and resisted arrest is what she told me and he’s been arrested and taken to the Chesterfield police department.”

Furthermore, if the FBI decides to take someone to a mental hospital...

Interestingly, it was the go to guy on communism in the FBI during the 1950's that put out the 45 Goals of Communism which was read into the Congressional Record:

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

A reporter once stated the FBI stood for the Federal Bureau of Incompetence. Maybe they are the modern version to the Redcoats...a little irony there.

Where is all the outrage that we saw about the Russion females convicted yesterday?

Will Hillary’s State Dept. step in on this one and demand a review?

Do you know, that sounds exactly like something the character Nicolai Carpathia from the “Left Behind” series would say, but the scary thing is I can easily hear Dear Leader Obozo saying it.

O B A M A N A T I O N IN ACTION!

BTW, all of this action was paid for by those of us who still pay personal income taxes.

Wasn’t there a character in “Left Behind” that would have fit Obama even better?

This is nothing more than liberals trying to make conservatives look like idiots.

Check this out and you will see its either a internet hoax or a deliberate attempt to deceive

How exactly does one get arrested for resisting arrest?

The same way as that other old chestnut -- arrest for disturbing the peace, the disturbance being caused by the process of arrest for disturbing the peace. There is clearly time-travel involved.

He is a chem trail believer as well?

Irregardless of this case, are you suggesting the government would not intentionally harm unsuspecting people for whatever motives?

For a nano second, it made me wonder about posting here.

I wouldn't worry. You are safe until Obama steals the election in November. After that . . . the petty tyrant says, "I'm going to have more flexibility in my second term".

If the police commit you, do you also lose your right to a state provided attorney? And the ability to call an attorney?

This happened to a Christian who posted about end times on the Internet. He was taken to a mental institution and “evaluated”; released after twenty hours. Once they tag you, they take away your second amendment rights, no matter what.

It matters that DHS, DOJ and the US military has classified conservatives as enemies of the State - domestic terrorists. This is what fascists (GOP-e) and Marxists do with their political and social enemies. Maybe Alaska will be America’s Siberia.

I’m not sure if we are seeing a pattern or just some coincidence here, but a buddy just sent me a link to this discussion regarding a conservative blogger who got hauled in to the mental asylum for his conservative / christian ideology.

“Christianity & gun owners in the crosshairs: Chilling tactic exposed”:
http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/showthread.php?411086-Christianity-amp-gun-owners-in-the-crosshairs-Chilling-tactic-exposed

Some people are claiming that the white-coat people in the looney bins are forcing them to take drugs or threatening to keep them incarcerated until they renounce Christ.

Sounds a little far fetched, but things are getting weird out there.

Treating Christianity as a mental disease (while apparently Islam is quite respectable) was one of Joe Stalin’s favorite tactics.

He’d have the NKVD Secret Police (or whatever his JBTs were called back then) haul a suspected dissident off to the insane asylum and if they didn’t capitulate to communist re education right away, he would have them forcibly lobotomized and sent back to their village as a mindless, drooling robotic zombie.

Electroconvulsive (”Shock Therapy”) was a popular form of clinical torture as well. Kind of like being strapped down to a table and tazed multiple times over.

that would send the message that there are indeed worse things than dying, and the regime knew just how to inflict them on you if you didn’t see things their way.

http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/7006/psychopolitics.html

BTW - They don’t need to saw your skull open to lobotomize you any more - they can do it chemically, and you’ll never be the same again.

We can be assured that “Uncle” Frank Marshall Davis taught young Barry Soetoro all about Stalin and his tricks, like starving a recalcitrant population (Ukraine, 1932) into submission - and about 7 million of them to death....

http://faminegenocide.com/mace_ch3.html

...as well as preventing a military coup by murdering a third of your own army and half of it’s Officer Corps. (Purge - c. 1938).

http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/RUSpurge.htm

Stalin’s bloody and ruthless tricks worked really well to keep him in power for quite a while, so why should Barry re-invent communist despotism when he can just re cycle some of Joe’s old tactics?

If you want a pretty good idea of what to expect in the future, you don’t have to be a clairvoyant or a prophet; just study history.
In the current political context, I humbly opine that early Soviet history would be a good place to start.

Then hang on; It’s all ready and rarin’ to repeat itself... again.
