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.

I don’t understand why so many FReepers are dismissing this as untrue.
Why?
There was a guy — can’t remember who — who posted the HTML for the “banned or suspended” page on his home page. It was kinda confusing.
Jim explains in 203. And we’ve had FReeper accounts hacked before. MHKing is one that comes to mind. You’re too new to know everything there is to know about FR.
I thought I remembered Arizona....Damn.
Maybe FR was hacked. Maybe HE hacked FR?
Although after reading his recent posting history, I would not be surprised if someone visited him.
I didn’t read the comments but I went to his FR profile and the top photo of the DC protest had text above that gave me the same feeling.
I don’t know what to think. I’ve been here 10 years and don’t plan on suddenly going crazy and posting a wild thread. LOL
Cause a lot of us work for... you know. Them.
He is un-zotted, ask.
Why are we dismissing it? His story is pure BS. If he did have a visit, it would be nothing like he described.

Ping to nutty FReeper delusional hoax.
MOMMMM! woofie won’t come out of the closet!
Ahhh, lol, that might have done it huh?? I wouldn’t know!
I meant, I have no idea what happened to this guy in his “real” life. No idea if he was actually visited by the feds or if this thread is a hoax, an opus, was posted by someone else, or what? If he was visited by the feds, I have no idea how they ID’d him. They certainly didn’t get it from me.
We’ve had accounts hacked. We’ve also had FReepers die and not sign off FR. I’ve found two kids of the deceased FReepers that just took over the account. I wish that I could remember what the handles were. They admitted to doing it but it’s been awhile ago.
I miss reading his posts.
I don't we get to plan going crazy. It kinda sneaks up on us.
So many people I could ping. So much trouble I could get into.
Then this really big guy said “it’s happening again”...
Of course, you'd have to say that if they did get it from you.
