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.

I laugh at your name! My nickname is still Monkey Moo since childhood. LOL!
Thank you!

Okay, scene: Kentu is riding the hoverbike and chasing down the badguys through heavy traffic to the above tune.
People either laugh or mistake me for a guy. Both are good for anonymity. At times! ;o]
Afternoon. I found two dresses at The Salvation Army half price sale, and greeting-card-size envelopes at Office Depot, but no #3 pencils. What is the world coming to?
Minor misspelling error there:
You’re both addled. There, fixed it.
Actually, I think only one of the three has actually suffered through my coffee.
So be kind to nully, he’s seen the horror that lies beyond that veil.
Oooohhh! I envy you, now! I’m still afraid to walk to the corner. New clothes would be nice to go with my new weight, but they will have to hang around until next month.
;o]
I’m the one that’s addled...I have 6 staples in my scalp to prove it! LOL!
I’d get you something next Wednesday, but I’m sure it would be the wrong size!
I’m taking my dizzy self to bed.
Good night! At least your dizzy self hasn’t been in a car with Bill or Tom ;-).
Hope tomorrow is better!
Have Darks tell you about staples...
At the rate I’m losing, there is no sense getting anything. It will stabilize in another 20 pounds. I’ve lost 35, so that means major changes in everything. Maybe I can start giving away some of my “fat” things to make room for new things.
:o])
Awww poo.
Rest well, see you when you get back!
I already know about the “Staple Caper.” Thanks just the same...
Yes, Miss Staplegun.
Famous among bad date experiences.
May she grace others with her charms, far far away...
Did you drop 1993 from her title?
She pretty much is self explanatory.
It one date I expected you to remember...
Do I need to repeat the year to those who have heard about her?
