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.

But, we could have composted them and used them for the mutant plants!
How else will our ‘wait a minute’ vines grow into horrible monsters?
Weird stuff. I guess I was asleep through all the excitement.
I think the iPad would be a good choice as a doorstop, or to prop up a crooked table leg. Or maybe for the car to drip oil on ...
(Yes, I’m still on the anti-iEverything rant ...)
Maybe.
jjfate, the guy who helped start this madness off came back into his thread, but he’d already been vaped at that point.
I have no use for an iPod or smart phone.
I’m even going to try and ditch the car mon-fri by walking to work when I can get comfortable with doing 6 miles/day. (3 each way).
Ping!
I wonder if we should look up the date of his posting and have a "Happy Birthday Undead Thread" party.
!!!
Hadn’t thought of that.
Funny stuff. I can't remember where I originally saw the quote, but it's been on my profile for a couple years. Should be a law!
She’s not in my ping list either, shall I add her?
Wot an idear!
825 posts? I’ll have to read backwards.
NnB, could you possibly put me on the ping list?
I’ll add you.
How de do?
You’re here, too?
I should be, but I’m not for some inexplicable reason.
I blame Darks...
The usual.
Finally got my ID card done.
That had been pushed back twice.
Now I have to get the Deers card done -on a day the missus has off and the said office is open!
*snort*
You’re both added.
*heh heh heh*
I, too, will add you to my ping list.
Welcome to the Undead Thread!!

Good for you! I go lots of places that I could walk to, in terms of simple physical exertion, but there are no sidewalks or safe street crossings.
