That 1992 event should have taught Americans that the government was out of control, but it didn’t, and we continue to live with the consequences.
For those too young to remember, it was thirty years ago this month that the DOJ entrapped Randy Weaver for his Christian beliefs, issued a death warrant, killed his dog, son, and wife, and shot Weaver and his friend.
Surely, the DOJ doesn’t just execute innocent people. Yet, as we learned at trial:
He had no propensity to commit crimes. Never even had a traffic ticket. Never been charged with a crime of any kind and honorably served his country.
While living in Iowa, Weaver learned it was illegal to homeschool his children independently, so he moved his family to a cabin in remote Idaho, Ruby Ridge.
Weaver attended Aryan Nation meetings three times, meeting not far from Ruby Ridge, “to exchange ideas, talk to people, I usually ended up arguing.” That’s where Gus Magisano befriended Weaver and tried to involve him in illicit activity. Weaver refused. But after three years of coaxing, Weaver finally agreed to make two sawed-off shotguns. Magisano was a fed.
What the feds really wanted was an informant, so they blackmailed Weaver: inform or face prison. Weaver refused; he was no “snitch.” With facts withheld, a grand jury indicted Weaver but, instead of simply arresting him, the feds concocted an elaborate ruse. Taking advantage of Weaver’s good nature, agents feigned being a family with car trouble stranded on a snowy bridge:
When I walked up to help, several agents jumped me and threw me to the ground. A female agent, posing to be the stranded wife, threw Vicki [his wife] to the ground.

Seems the FIB has taken concocting schemes and hoaxes to a whole new level.
Weaver ended up getting a “settlement” of over $3,000,000 IIRC. Of course the FBI refused to acknowledge any wrong doing on their part.
The man who murdered Vicki Weaver was indicted by an Idaho Grand Jury. The DOJ covered for him and the charges were dismissed.

After Ruby Ridge and Waco, we should have learned, but we didn’t. Now the FIB and assorted other higher ups in our fed government have attempted a hidden coup against a sitting president because they are of the opposite political party. They have run roughshod over ordinary Americans time and time again, and there does not seem to be any way to stop them.

Remember Dr. Simone Gold.🔓
Where is Lon Horiuchi these days
The FBI; a taxpayer funded criminal organization.
The entire federal budget should be less than one billion dollars. We do not need these people.
I saw him at Camp Robinson in North Little Rock in 2007 during the Winston P. Wilson match. He was talking to DOE/OST team from Lawrence Livermore before one of the lanes.
At least the Mafia keeps innocents out of it.
Visited my old neighborhood recently, an Italian neighborhood and Mafia protectorate.
Not so much as a candy wrapper on the streets. No barred windows, no broken glass, no surveillance cameras. No thugs congregating on street corners. Not even any police presence.
Surveillance is provided by grandmas on the top floor with binoculars and a phone.
Sure, the businesses are probably paying for protection, but at least they’re getting their money’s worth.
Federal Bureau of Infamy.

I met Randy Weaver at a gun show where he was selling his book.
He was a very kind and humble man. I was very impressed by him.
Anti-Christian, anti-Patriot activities of the FBI are NOT a new occurrence. Just, sadly more common.
...and Waco..
Weaver died in May of this year- he was only 74 I believe.
Ruby Ridge - Bill Barr’s “Waco”.
Money is more important than justice.
The DOJ and FBI are a disgrace. They are just thugs for the Democrat Party.
