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.

The words “Instant Classic” came to mind.
Nice and roomy and fits right along with the underlying weirdness of our series.
If 60gunner posts his newest “Adventures in ER” thread towards the beginning or the end of a month we’ll highlight that for the rest of that month as ER trauma nursing doesn’t get enough recognition.
We’ll let him pick when he does that.
October is coming, we do love a good Halloween story.
Hello!
Call your attorney.
LOL!
Hint: It’s a hoax.
And a new ‘Instant Classic’ thread much in the way of Beeber, stuned, Unnngh, and amnners.
And a nice comfy new undead thread for August.
You did a good job Darks.
I saw it before it was zotted and while it was zotted and when it was unzotted.
Does that make this a UnUndead thread?
Do you have any idea how freaky it is to get a ping to post 666 of the ‘Just received a visit from the FBI’ thread?
Oh. Duh.
Nevermind.
Cookie anyone?
Oh, my, those look terrifying.
Fluffy will let us know if he likes it. Where are the fishies?
Mmmmmm. Bacon!
lol...True!
Bacon Explosion...I hate to admit I’ve actually made this...

Enjoy
OMG that looks good.
Bookmarked.
For the eighth time.
Oh, well. The August Chronicles never were all that august, anyway.
They don’t mention how many weight watcher’s points that is. I’m a lifetime member. (yep, really.)
I’ll calculate it out after I cook it. I might have to run to Bowling Green to burn it off afterwards, but hey... it’s bacon!
(Hmmm that sounds like the title of a Children's Movie.)
