In a deliberate “show of force,” federal and local police forces raided a political meeting in Texas, fingerprinting and photographing all attendees as well as confiscating all cell phones and personal recording devices. Members of the Republic of Texas, a seccession movement dedicated to restoring Texas as an independent constitutional republic, had gathered Feb. 14 in a Bryan, Texas, meeting hall along with public onlookers.

The only crime I see perpetrated, was by the Feds and Locals.

I read these guys have their own currency. Is it accepted by stores in the area, or just some type of barter system used within the group?

Nope, DOJ is too busy with having a witch hunt every time a black criminal gets killed in self defense and fighting to give people the right to vote without an ID.

The truth hurts when your “leadership” is running the ship aground and intelligent people want to jump off.

Chilling. Maybe it’s my confirmation bias but the Obama administration seems to be accelerating its attack on the Bill of Rights. I’d say that on the off chance conservatives take the government back, dismantling the DHS and restoring its essential functions to their original structure would be #1 on the priority list. Obama has the core of a personal army as it is.

There was a documentary on YouTube about Texas that had a segment on them that I believe said that people accepted their coins because they were made of actual precious metals, which is a far cry from the paper or e-cash that we use.

Put them on trains and send them off to re-education camps! After all, we would have achieved utopia if it just weren’t for those that are standing in the way and opposing our programs!

Perhaps we could force them to sew yellow stars on their clothing to ensure that we can easily identify the Juden, oops, I mean dissidents.

"Officer(s), I do not consent to search of my person or my private property. I will be happy to help in your investigation in any way possible, IN MY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE". Give them your driver's license (if state law mandates it) and then you shut your mouth and say NOTHING.

NOTHING.

My wife cringes at the thought of our IPAD and Iphones, that will delete and reformat after a few tries to unlock the iphone.

Officer: "Give me your Pin Number or else!

Me: "Officer, I'm really scared and surprised now, all these guns and ninja suits. I want to help, I really do, but I am having trouble recalling it right now. I think its 1234.......

Officer: "Nope, that's not it".

Me: "Wait, is it 4321?"

Officer: "No, that's not it. Just relax sir and try to think".

Wife: "Honey, we changed it after our kids figured it out if I recall correctly. I think it might be 9876.

Officer: Nope....and something is happening to your phone. Do you have a reset hard drive function if pin is entered incorrectly?"

ME: Officer, my chest hurts and I think I am having a heart attack. Please summon medical help. I can't recall or think straight. I am in duress. I'll be happy to help your investigation, here is the name and address of my attorney. I need to be quiet now and rest until the ambulance comes".
