As you probably know, this man is a vet, a Christian, a gun owner, a supporter of the constitution and a Ron Paul supporter and all these are categories for being named by DOJ, DOD, and DHS as a domestic terrorist - an enemy of the state.

Even though I studied the subject of Soviet oppression systems and techniques, reading what you wrote about Stalin is chilling.

I wish some decent soul would release the government’s “black list” of Americans who they are following and why.

I’ve often wondered about Alaska myself.

They probably have old WW-II military installations out on the Aleutian Islands around which a sizable FEMA re-education (or extermination) camp could be built.

I would not be surprised if it is all ready to accept “guests” any day now.

In that location it would make Alcatraz seem like a summer resort. Few if any will escape alive.

Strongly suspect that any of us who go there ain’t coming back.

RE: “I wish some decent soul would release the government’s “black list” of Americans who they are following and why.”

I always think of the character in the musical “Mikado” “Lord High Executioner” who kept his “Little list” of people whose heads he intended to lop of when he got around to it.

I’m pretty sure that the DHS is well staffed with “High Executioners” whose assigned little lists are kept electronically updated at all times....

I would be astounded, and perhaps just a little disappointed were my name not upon at least one such list.

They can probably hardly wait to start working those lists... and we have to wonder if they might have already started here and there.

Was told by a Korean War Vet that when the Norks invaded and over ran a village, some of their Officers had lists of all of the outspoken anti-communists who lived there. They knew who they were and right where to find them too, and promptly delivered a .30 Tokarev round to the brain stem as soon as they were found and identified.

Oh yes; Communists do keep little lists - and they don’t miss much.

They, no doubt, would get an unfriendly welcoming party in many American towns. It wouldn’t be quite so neat and tidy. :)

The lesson to be learned here is to be cautious about what you post on Facebook, indeed, all public web sites. Mr. Raub's beliefs are fringe at best, and kooky at worst, but he did not threaten any specific public official.

The unfortunate fact is that most liberals and most conservatives likely support these actions: the liberals because Raub is an ideological enemy, the conservatives in the name of "law 'n' order".

I understand where you are coming from and in the past - before the police state - I would not care that much about this “kooky” vet being tagged.

However, as you say, we now have to be careful not to post what we thing on FB or we might be tagged...we can’t say anything the ruling class deems kooky or we might be tagged...we must be careful going to the airport because we are going through nekid xray machines and being molested to keep us safe..because of my political associations with various politically incorrect causes, I am officially named a potential “domestic terrorist.”

I would rather be free than safe in Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union. Too much, already. We need to stop rationalizing and cooperating. It will be us or a loved one next.
