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...Im 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 hes been arrested and taken to the Chesterfield police department.

As you probably know, this man is a vet, a Christian, a gun owner, a supporter of the constitution and a Ron Paul supporter and all these are categories for being named by DOJ, DOD, and DHS as a domestic terrorist - an enemy of the state.
Even though I studied the subject of Soviet oppression systems and techniques, reading what you wrote about Stalin is chilling.
I wish some decent soul would release the government’s “black list” of Americans who they are following and why.
I’ve often wondered about Alaska myself.
They probably have old WW-II military installations out on the Aleutian Islands around which a sizable FEMA re-education (or extermination) camp could be built.
I would not be surprised if it is all ready to accept “guests” any day now.
In that location it would make Alcatraz seem like a summer resort. Few if any will escape alive.
Strongly suspect that any of us who go there ain’t coming back.
RE: “I wish some decent soul would release the governments black list of Americans who they are following and why.”
I always think of the character in the musical “Mikado” “Lord High Executioner” who kept his “Little list” of people whose heads he intended to lop of when he got around to it.

I’m pretty sure that the DHS is well staffed with “High Executioners” whose assigned little lists are kept electronically updated at all times....
I would be astounded, and perhaps just a little disappointed were my name not upon at least one such list.
They can probably hardly wait to start working those lists... and we have to wonder if they might have already started here and there.
Was told by a Korean War Vet that when the Norks invaded and over ran a village, some of their Officers had lists of all of the outspoken anti-communists who lived there. They knew who they were and right where to find them too, and promptly delivered a .30 Tokarev round to the brain stem as soon as they were found and identified.
Oh yes; Communists do keep little lists - and they don’t miss much.
They, no doubt, would get an unfriendly welcoming party in many American towns. It wouldn’t be quite so neat and tidy. :)
The unfortunate fact is that most liberals and most conservatives likely support these actions: the liberals because Raub is an ideological enemy, the conservatives in the name of "law 'n' order".
The lesson to be learned here is to be cautious about what you post on Facebook, indeed, all public web sites.
However, as you say, we now have to be careful not to post what we thing on FB or we might be tagged...we can’t say anything the ruling class deems kooky or we might be tagged...we must be careful going to the airport because we are going through nekid xray machines and being molested to keep us safe..because of my political associations with various politically incorrect causes, I am officially named a potential “domestic terrorist.”
I would rather be free than safe in Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union. Too much, already. We need to stop rationalizing and cooperating. It will be us or a loved one next.
