You can call me Al...

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.

Since you mentioned that - try this
What is the value of Free Republic?
Please post results on that thread and bump it up so we can get this FReepathon over with
Grassontop was the only event I ever followed in realtime, or even heard about. His account is still there BTW, though he hasn’t posted in 5 years.
If Galtsy was being restrained by FBI agents (with guns drawn?), there would be no breaking free momentarily, and if he did, he would be pretty much unconscious for an hour or two.
Interesting tale, but I doubt it happened.But if the feds do go after Freepers, it would indeed seem just like this but the report does not have the ring of truth.
You can call me Al...
Yeah. And “Suck My AR16” was a strange one. Normal posts and then bonkers.

I know, I’ve been here long enough to have seen some similar posts that had us wondering too. And - we never know the real ending.
If you recall coming into the 2004 and 2006 elections, FReepers never heard of had 1998 start-ups. It was very suspicious.
I am so glad to hear you are healing up! You have been on my prayer list for a long time and I was wondering how you were doing. I am so thankful you have a great doctor who you trust and respect. Woo Hoo!
What if it is a Machiavellian scheme, where he posted the nutso posts in order to frame this one, trying to rally support for some kind of revolution, only to be secretly working for the FBI and/or CIA, and taking names so they could come to our house and almost kill our dog (while being reasonable enough to let us put it in a room) and download our hard drives, while uploading FBI and/or CIA spyware to check our every moves, all without a warrant.
Lol, so far it hasn’t snuck up on me. Sometimes I think it’s alcohol related. I’ve seen that person post a lot over the years!!
I looked at his comments.
He seems to enjoy the word “hanging.”
Maybe he triggered some Echelon/NSA program and they called FBI b/c they figured he’s about to go ballistic?
I take a shower and look what happens.
What were they, he has changed it now.
I always question it too when someone has posted normally and then posts something strange. It can be so many things like a stroke, a hacker/relative.............you just never know.
Remember classygreeneyedblonde?
That is fantastic! I have told other people about the wonders of honey to heal wounds after your story. Congrats!
Hey now.....are you referring to my “John Kerry in a Swiftboat gif” that I made and posted long ago.......and calling it a BREAKDOWN? LOLOL!
Yes. It was weird. Not a single post until then with an old signup date.
CGEB — cute picture, too bad she was a fake.
