Although the women of the United States are confined within the narrow circle of domestic life, and their situation is, in some respects, one of extreme dependence, I have nowhere seen woman occupying a loftier position; and if I were asked... in which I have spoken of so many important things done by Americans, to what the singular prosperity and growing strength of that people ought mainly to be attributed, I should reply, To the superiority of their women.

Marine Veteran Taken By FBI for Patriotic Facebook Posts!!!

Holy Crap! See something, say something! I'm seeing it and sayin' it to ya....
from the veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan's mom:



This went down in Chesterfield, Virginia. Why are the constitutional officers in that county collaborating with this kind of travesty? He was not read his rights and does not know the exact charge.

He was taken to John Randolph hospital for psych reasons.

The government WILL call you crazy if you disagree with them. I have a friend who went against the ol' boys club in a Federal installation, and they were required to visit a shrink to get re-installed.

Video of arrest:

  1. Have you been to his Facebook page, He seems to have two. One under Brandon J. Raub and the other one is Raub Brandon.

    1. Don't have facebook, but have been trying to find snippets of the kinds of things he was posting.

      I do know personally a girl who was contacted by Homeland Security, a minor, because she was friended by some boy who was writing stuff that had "alarmed" them. I know they watch facebook like a hawk.

      The fact remains that the government is stocking up on ammo through just about every department they have. Violence may indeed become real, but its not the fault of the American citizen, who just wants to be left alone.

    1. From the Intelhub some of his posts:

      One of his recent posts reads;
      Brandon J Raub
      “The Revolution will come for me. Men will be at my door soon to pick me up to lead it. ”

      He couldn’t have been more right. But exactly what prompted law enforcement to come get him?
      Another reads;
      Brandon J Raub
      “Sharpen up my axe; I’m here to sever heads.”

      Another;
      Brandon J Raub
      “The people responsible for poisoning the America people from the sky will be held accountable. And there is going to be justice.”

      I'm thinking his position as leader of the Richmond Liberty Movement also made him a target of the criminal government.

  3. Unless he threatened the President or expressed a desire to see violence against the government, this is a complete violation of his rights; our rights.

    1. From the Copblock article:

      "The police claim the FBI and Secret Service contacted them to request assistance with Brandon’s arrest. One officer claimed Brandon has been charged with ‘disorderly conduct’ and ‘resisting arrest’ by the Chesterfield Police (another officer claiming the charges were ‘assault’ and ‘resisting arrest’), over an alleged altercation that took place during the arrest."

      However, I don't see any altercation in the video.

    1. From the Cop Block website, we get clues:

      "Virginia CopBlock has learned that this form of arrest/detention is known as a “Green Warrant”, often known as a “Mental Health Warrant”. If a person is credibly believed to be a potential threat to themselves or others, a “Green Warrant” can be issued. This allows government authorities to arrest and detain the person for up to 72 hours; and have them evaluated to determine if they are “mentally unfit”, and would pose a threat if released.

      Basically, the government can arrest you if they don’t like what you say. Then they can keep you for 3 days, and decide if you’re allowed to go free based on their evaluation of your “mental state”, aka they can keep you for “thought crime”."

    1. I don't have facebook, so I couldn't see past the public wall, but it looked like stuff I would have. Did he call for the assassination of anyone specific? If not, that's first amendment speech. They allow all sorts of vile violent stuff to be published.

      The fact that he was taken to a psych hospital is a big clue that its not really about protecting society, but about shutting him up.

  6. Maybe I'm the only one, but the videos & images in your emails are missing. FYI - if this is something you may want to check on to see how common this is.

    1. I don't have any control over emails, that's the domain of blogger, maybe its a settings thing on your end.
