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.

Service, selection and prices have all been better since Wal_Mart came to town.
I think I’ve eaten something like that.
Have to dig up some money and put my truck in the shop tomorrow, sigh. Do that after the super important meeting with the new co so he can detail his regime intentions to the nonrates.
Soo glad I’m leaving..
Walmart put my favorite grocery store out of business because most people liked to shop in one store. It was less than a football field from the store I like. Now they are three miles from here.
And yes, I buy liquids, and dairy products but for the next month, my Restorative will have to stay on the shelf. I don’t want to start something I can’t finish....
I’m off to beddy-bye, Girls. I’m getting a feeling of molasses in my cranium. At least it’s not gray lint.
I like the liquids, too, but don’t dare buy any for the next four weeks! LOL! What a revoltin’ development this is!
William Bendix “ Life of Riley” : )
Yeppers.
But we spent so much time in the shipyard (getting built, then getting re-re-rebuilt) that I actually ate very few meals on board: Almost all of the food was can-of-soup heated on the dashboard, ate sitting on a board “table” on a steel deck wearing a hardhat.
Butt, butt, butt ... Poser don’t knead no ping fer movin’
(He’s got a forty-eight Harley with no bumber springs. With that ride, he got enough pings on his pong to move anythong anywhere.)
Done that.
This week they’ve torn our berthings apart to redo the decks and then decided it was a good week for an inspection. I fully expect to fail.
Up...
Air conditioning on - or is it getting torn up as well?
I saw that too in “galt’s” posting history and wondered the same thing.
In this day and age of socialist takeover of our government, one has to be very careful what one says...reminiscent of “The White Rose”, circa 1942.
12 oz can of coffee last year: $3.99
10 oz. can of coffee this year: $3.99
I saw 4oz cups of yogurt this week.
No, it seems to be working.
Ordered two each of these: http://wwwn.cdc.gov/pubs/phpr.aspx
Came in today.
Officially getting something back for my tax dollars. Feels weird.
Good job!!!
Thanks for hanging in there. Sionnsar would be so proud....
You have money in your bank account. I saw it.
6-oz. yogurts are $1.88 for four. I’ve stopped buying them until the price drops, which it will when enough people stop buying them.
They didn’t get the rear doors open yet, but the one driving is out and about.
