A couple of hours ago receive a hard knock on the door. I answered the door and about 7 or 8 agents all flashing badges (claiming to be FBI and/or CIA) rushed me and pushed me against the far wall.
My dog attacked and they would have shot him had I not broken free for a second and covered him by laying him on the floor beneath me.
After things calmed down a bit and I received assurances that nothing would happen to him if I placed him in the bedroom and closed the door.
I did so and they then read me my rights and explained that my opinions expressed on Free Republic were the reason they were there. I had expressed my opinion of what I thought of the current President and the majority in congress and was therefore a potential threat to the government. After what seemed to be hours they came to the conclusion (I hope) that I was merely expressing my opinion and not a leader of a counter revolutionary army - as they saw it.
They searched my apartment for weapons and found 4 (which I have not fired in over a year or more) and they seized them for testing. My dog (Ranger) was not happy with the situation so I had to hold on to him during the search to keep him from being shot.
They also seized my computer and downloaded my entire files system. I suppose they also copied any files erased by normal erasure techniques. They returned the computer as "WAS" (as far as I can tell) but I after careful consideration the past few hours I have concluded that they are monitoring me closely.
I'm not even sure this message will make it through but what else can I do but try?
If (Big IF!) this does make it through, beware. They are watching and may make a visit to your residence and give your the same routine.
It really shook me up and I have trouble keeping my nerves steady and my thoughts straight as I write this message.
Once this gets out (IF THIS GETS OUT) I can pretty much expect their return but this time they probably won't be quite as considerate of myself and my dog who they will probably shoot on sight.
I have packed my truck with essentials but I suspect that there are those that are watching so I may not make it to one of my favorite mountain camping sites.
There I will not have any communications except when I get into town and use WIFI to make any contact.
Good luck and keep your heads down.
They have become serious about enforcing their new powers - and some of us might not make it.
I'll probably be #1 on their list.
Semper Fi and God Bless one and all.

Habit, and to have a feel of a sense of normal.
Kinda hard to let him go.
I have to do the thread switch tonight, it’s kinda tough to decide.
get with me back-channel. I “may” have it.
I sent you a copy of what I have so far.
Hi Libre Ou Mort!
It’s so nice to hear from you. :-)
I pinged Sionnsar to that post because he showed me that I didn’t have to be afraid of all Muslim people.
I figure that since he is in heaven with God, where anything is possible, if I ping him on FR, to thank him for his contribution to my life, that he might just hear it, and read my post.
I hope I haven’t offended you.
Exactly!
That’s why I’m not a salesman, I can’t say salesman speak with authority and conviction.
You’re in good company - I can’t let him go, either.
You have FReepmail. It’s from me via the other side.
I vote for smooth PB.
NO offense taken - I am glad Sionnsar left a legacy of peace and trust. He really loved the Persian people. He grieved over what was becoming of our country. He really longed for freedom in the truest sense of that word. He has found it in the loving arms of his Lord. There are days I long to join him there.
Copy that, thanks!
I’ll be collating and cross referencing.
In the meantime, I have two possible threads for our next stop.

Wow, what a choice - do we want serious, or funny? Hmmmm Do I want my mind bent or muddied? I’ll let the good folks of the UT decide. Either way it would be different.
I know, but it’s not your time. You still have God’s work to do.
You know Sion will be there for you when your time comes.
Please spend more time with us on this thread LoM. We miss saying in touch with your family.
*HUG*
Oh yeah, that evil eye from Dad.
My Dad was really good at it. With a stern word too!
How old will Eliana be in 2012?
I dunno, I thought the “Mom beats the crap out of internet troll” thread is to our liking.
We did have our origin in mocking internet trolls, but lately the quality has been.. ugh.
Beneath our notice actually.
She’ll be three. [Egad!]

Stop the presses!!!

Rush Limbaugh and I are successful sales men.
He seems to be more successful than me.
As you know, I have poems for all occasions. Even for occasions when there are no occasions.
Here's one I wrote a while ago, on a kinda similar occasion.
Well said Bob.
Thanks.
