The FBI will be destroying the artifacts to protect the artifacts.
Hey, they didn’t get a West Point grad, degreed lawyer to blow his brains out and set the place on fire. In this Untied States one ought be grateful for such things.
If their presence in your home is based on a "we're-in-the-right-until-somebody-proves-otherwise" mindset, then yes. They can do that until we stop them from doing it.
“obtained others legally or before laws affecting them were on the books”
The author is a jackass. He repeated the same sentiment. If it was obtained before it was illegal, it’s legal.
I’d rather see a well-loved and well-cared-for collection of antiquities in private hands than rotting away forgotten in some agency’s or institution’s cellars, or worse yet, handed off to some unthinking, uncaring, and unfunded government workers in an unstable third-world nation just to end up in a 21st century midden.
Just wait until the EPA discovers a puddle in his yard and declares it a protected wetland.
Nah, Indiana Jones didn’t cotton much to private collectors. Remember part III? “This ought to be in a museum!”
The long form BC?....................
Remember this story from yesterday "FBI seizing artifacts at rural Indiana home. FBI surrounds home in rural central Indiana; agency says agents seizing artifacts"?Well folks guess what, the FBI was NOT looking for artifacts at all! Here is the REAL Story sent to us by one of his Protege's:
FBI seizes Native American, "other artifacts" at rural Indiana homeThis story reeks of Government Cover-up. The real truth lies in what has not been reported in this story. One must first know the definition of artifacts: an object formed by humans, particularly one of interest to archaeologists.
This differs from the word relic:: something that is from a past time, place, culture, etc. ►Artifacts can be data, technology etc which are covered under treaties.◄
The FBI statement "Jones said that the extensive collection, which Miller amassed over eight decades, includes Native American artifacts and relics as well as items from the United States, China, Haiti, Australia, Russia, New Guinea, Italy, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Greece, Peru and possibly several other countries."
The FBI statement allows room for many scenarios. My research on Dr. Don Miller led me to discover his close involvement in the creation and detonation of the atom bomb. Read the full story here: http://www.rushvillerepublican.com/local/x681493636/The-Day-the-Sun-Rose-Twice?zc_p=0
Dr. Don Miller, holds a P.H.D in electrical engineering, is the brother of Dr. Stanley Miller world reknowned Chemical Physicist.. Don Miller operated under the company name Wyman Research, he created transponders used by NASA in the space stations Read the story here:

Also read about Dr Stanley Millers research http://www.pbs.org/exploringspace/meteorites/murchison/page5.html
►Oddly enough Dr.Millers Website was taken down last month and my research relied greatly on the way back machine which archives websites. His website was www.svs.net ◄
BINGO ►► Most recently Dr Miller developed the technology to locate any transmitter through triangulation after the beacon has failed. This technology would be very useful say if an airplane went down and was unable to be located. ◄◄
Dr. Miller has offered tours of his mini museum for many years which contained relics from his travels which was never of issue until recently. I googled FBI and artifact seizure and other than the raid on Dr. Millers home and some stories of soldiers stealing Iraqi artifacts, there was very little. It does not seem to be a usual activity for the FBI.
Looking at the photo of Dr. Miller's home it is very obvious that he installed several 40'-50' antenna towers on his property which is located out in the middle of nowhere. The FBI (or some agency) set up containment/quarantine tents all over his property and there is no identification of any particular government agencies on the vehicles on his property. I was able to locate video showing those towers being removed which would fall under the definition of artifact but weren't mentioned by reporters.
The fact that the the news doesn't mention that this man was very prominent in the development of nuclear weapons, space science, groundbreaking transponder technology, spectral analysis or the sole heir to his famous brothers research on the origins of life is wherein the truth lies.
I would be surprised if this man lives long enough to tell the real story. ~ Anonymous Source
How did he come to the conclusion that these artifacts were of cultural value? He's an FBI Agent. Is that his own opinion, or the opinion of anthropologists/archaeologists they are consulting with? Why make a statement like this, then refuse to give any other info on the artifacts they are confiscating? I hope this all blows up in their faces.
You know the FBI is doing something underhanded. Why else would they need huge canvas tents to hide their activities?
