Just received a visit from the FBI

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.

Goodness, that was quick. What did you say, Darks?

[Darksheare]

I revealed myself as the avatar of the Dark Frog?

Actually, I don’t remember what 581 was!
I don’t think it was mine.
*scratches noggin*
Umm... maybe I need my coffee...

He has a very short youtube video out there that I linked to. I’m thinking the poor guy may be off his meds.........

Here are some of the posts that might have triggered a visit:

• we need to “ELIMINATE” all those that do not understand the constitution and implication. Hang all that are self important from the trees in front of the congress and let their body’s (Bones) remain as reminders to those that follow what will happen to those that follow that do not mind the intent and constructions of the “Constitution” and the rights of the individual.

• Instead let them worry about our freedom and human rights - and their necks as we treat them like the dogs they really are. —— not all, just the majority.

• Get rid of leaders who want to control every aspect of our lives (and I don’t mean vote them out of office) I mean - get rid (RID) of them - period.

Frankly, after some of those not-so-veiled threats to leaders, I feel this was a good investigation. If you had the inclination to commit an act, you should be dissuaded, now.

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.

Check my post to him, just above this one. I know you didn't tell anyone who he was, but this dude sounds about one bad day away from Oslo.

Whatever 581 was, the Fibbers are on the way to YOUR door now....

I gave them your address.......

:-)

[Lazamataz]

Thank you very much, potlatch. Yeah, from his latest profane addition to his contact and location on his profile page, I’d say this thread is probably his opus. He had a series of profane posts pulled earlier this month, so that may have set him off.

Old timer -- 1998! -- like that, going off.

All I can believe is that some of our older Freepers might enter dementia territory.

[Darksheare]

Gee, thanks sharkey.
I’ll be sure to have my coffee ready as an act of kindness.
“Shall we partake of some coffee before getting down to business?”

[Darksheare]

Then, after they’re all nice and blasted on the coffee, I then take them on a psychological trip down the rabbithole.
Yeah!
It’ll work I tell you!
I’ll havwe an enscorcelled army of drones!
MWUH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAAAAAAA!

Or I just use the wild pigs here in NY.

I wish FBI would visit me, and abuse me!

[Lakeshark]

No prob Darks, I told them your name was Caspar though.......no doubt a terrorist alias.........

:-)

[Chunga]

He posted 10 times in the interim between the “feds’ visit” and this post. This is baloney.

[Darksheare]

Now I’ll just have to add them to my ensnared throngs in my storage area.
*sigh*
Pretty soon I’ll have to rent a warehouse to store all my zombies you know.

All I can believe is that some of our older Freepers might enter dementia territory.

I should have waited until I got really old?

[Hot Tabasco]

I think Jon now needs our help and any sympathy from us rather than the ridicule we've been giving him. Our Wall of Remembrance has too many past members who have taken their lives due to depression or whatever demons they were fighting........

With any luck, this thread will get pulled..

[buccaneer81]

With any luck, this thread will get pulled..

No way. This thread is a classic and a great reminder of how much fun we used to have here 10 years ago.

[Vendome]

I don’t see his other posts?

[buccaneer81]

His original homepage was wiped last night before he was restored.

[Lazamataz]

Wellllll okay.

Jon can crash at my place.
