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.

LOL!
I often thank God for my boring life.
My cousin’s parrot would call the cats and the dogs. “C’mere, dogs! Supper!” Sounded just like my cousin’s voice, too. The funniest thing was when it said, it my cousin’s voice, “Is that what you’re wearing today?”
And that guy was the third person looking for the Greys that year.
Unsurprisingly, he was the only one I didn’t have to threaten.
Flutter had a thing for my cat, he would call her by name and could spot her a mile away.
She’d walk by and he’d go off whistling at her.
He got loose one day, and I caught him right before he willingly flew into her waiting mouth.
Boy were they both mad at me!
The cat was mad because she was deprived of an easy meal, the bird was mad because he liked the cat!
Well, Mimi died, and the bird went not too long after.
Broken heart.
We had friends in Texas who put up a 10’ x 10’ plywood sign in front of their house, stating (in English and Spanish) that the family whose teenagers were in Gang X had moved away.
: )
The Greys must have been interesting people.
Or Bill. “I see the wires running to his head, so it’s not a power issue ... he’s just not moving!”
The Greys I do not know if they were involved in anything like that but judging from the quality of the people looking for them I’m pretty certain they may have been!
The one door upstairs had been padlocked from the hallway.
SO the kid who had been in that room kicked out the window screen, dangled from the windowsill, dropped and ran.
The daughter had a thing for meeting men behind the outlaying buildings.
And we found a kitchen knife still laying on the door frame over the front door.
Being an older building, the place has an old phone alcove.
There’s junk stuffed into the cubbyhole behind the scrollwork in the alcove.
And I’ve only been able to fish some of it out.
Got up this morning and was getting dressed and I see Tigger playing with what I thought was one of his toy mousies. Then he dropped it and it started running across the floor. Of course, I freaked out and jumped back on the bed. Current whereabouts of said mouse unknown.
“Good morning mommy, look what I caught for you!”
Yes, don’t you just love how they do that?
My fathers one cat always tried to teach us how to hunt.
He’d bring back chipmunks and baby rabbits for us to learn to hunt.. inside the house.
I think it may have been more of a commentary on breakfast being unacceptably late.
Ouch, that may be so as well.
NiMH thinks we are funny looking, if defective, cats.
He does not understand that he is about a foot tall with four legs while we only have two legs and are too big to fit through most brush.
He has tried to get me to rumn through thickets with him.
And he gets so upset about it when I can’t.
Oops. Jake brought live birds in a couple of times.
The staples come out today! YAY!
(Wanna go with me, Darks?)
“AKK???” That’s supposed to be ALL!
*ducking and running*
Therrrrre ya go!
I’m going to put some of the family members to bed. They’re really being pains.
“Akk”, it fits the feeling.
Especially when the doc ‘helpfully’ hands you one of the staples.
“Here you go Miss Face, hold this for a minute.”
Docs can be SO helpful.
