Adventures with the new Gestapo.

Armed agents seize records of reporter, Washington Times prepares legal action.

Maryland state police and federal agents used a search warrant in an unrelated criminal investigation to seize the private reporting files of an award-winning former investigative journalist for The Washington Times who had exposed problems in the Homeland Security Department's Federal Air Marshal Service.

Homies are going to be handed their ass. (Always a good thing.) Their search in Maryland was a real bone headed move. No exit strategy, just fulfill the agenda. It will be an interesting story to follow, just to see how many lies and perjuries the Coasties/Homies tell, on their way to a huge financial settlement. Another example of, "redistribution of the wealth".; October 26, 2013 at 1:18 PM

Reminds one of the old adage. First they came for the Conservatives but I wasn't a Conservative. Then they came for the Tea Party but I didn't care because I wasn't a Tea Party member.
The reason I find this shit so damned funny is these trolls have no concept of history. Always in the past media outlets in Germany, and Russia promted the the worst political systems as the very best. The academics as well. The first people that these monsters kill are the members of the press and teachers and college professors. That is Marxism. And now they are getting a first hand view, up close and personal. Can't think of a bunch that is more deserving.; October 26, 2013 at 7:40 PM

publius said...: We should all be highly concerned about this. They are getting more blatant in their disregard for even the pretense of upholding the law.

They used a raid based on one premise to grab this reporter's notes and lists of contacts.

Now, no matter what a judge says, the gestapo has the list of names.

This is not going to end well for our ex-Republic.

But the masses don't give a damn. They have iPhones and reality TV. Nobody will stick their necks out protect anyone, it would seem.; October 27, 2013 at 11:50 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
