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.

Lurking......lurking....
Thanks, I did the “view source” html trick and copied what he had.
Then, rather than keep hammering his photobucket account, I copied the images I could find over.
I admit, he had this stuff down pat.
I’m checking my ping list, and I know I’m missing people from it.
You for example.
Just re-added you.
I rejoined the military, I’ll be doing military computer IT work.
Don’t yet know when I’m heading to Fort Gordon.
And thanks again, it feels weird to be doing the pings without him.
Hey Sweets, haven’t heard from you since the Joplin tornadoes.
How are you, where are you, and are you okay?
Had me scared there sweets.
Your last post was to say “We’re under a tornado watch until 4 AM and I’m going to bed”
I asked nully if he’d heard anything, he hadn’t.
I’m heading back into the military.
I’ll be doing military computer IT work.
In the meantime, don’t scare me like that.
The old Dimensional Doors crew is missing a few people...
Going too far?
Umm, NO!
Yikes! At least with an earthquake your stuff stays on your own property...
: )
Nah
” Yikes! At least with an earthquake your stuff stays on your own property...”
YeaH...BROKEN TO SMITHEREENS : )
I got a iPad and a hearing aid recently. If I don’t respond right away it is because I didn’t hear youare I am playing with my iPad.
LOL!
Hope all is well with you.
Sheesh. No wonder I had trouble hearing you.
Nully knew....he just forgot. It happens. Sorry, didn’t mean to scare anybody.
My brain is leaking.
I blame Darks...
LOL!
You make me smile every day with these posts TC.
Thank you.
Happy to help - it’s a rough world out there, and we can all use a kitteh.
I’m headed for bed with some of mine ... found Jake lounging on the cement out back and made him come in. Santana the Weather Dragon says it’s going to rain again. Not that he’s always right, but he seems sensitive to air pressure or something.
Robert, we are hear!
