a exerpt from "Liberty's Torch"re: this incident: The media have given the Montana incident no coverage whatsoever. I’m still looking for further substantiation of the Montana Daily Gazette report, but simply for the sake of speculation, let’s assume for the moment that it’s accurate. The general public doesn’t know about it. What would the majority of Americans have to say about it, were they to be informed of it, the scale and destructiveness of it, and the reasons for it?

There’s been a lot of casual talk – mostly from the Left and the supporters of the Usurper Regime – about “domestic terrorism.” To me, the Montana incident is a perfect example: the use of overwhelming federal forces to terrorize a private citizen for no good reason. Surely if there were a good reason, the feds wouldn’t have kept the raid completely secret. Indeed, they would have trumpeted its success as a stroke in the cause of justice, or national security, or whatnot. Neither would they have persuaded the national media to ignore it.

Governments throughout these United States have been acting against citizens’ rights foe some time now. Especially threatened is our right to freedom of expression. In case you’re unpersuaded that the threat is real, consider this recent report from New York City. Can you imagine the intimidating power of what De Blasio has proclaimed – how chilling the effect upon New Yorkers’ freedom of speech?

Firearms rights? You can forget them. Indeed, the “John Doe” of the Montana incident may have been targeted specifically for that reason. He was a Federal Firearms Licensee, qualified to make, repair, and sell firearms of all kinds. No allegation that he was in violation of any of the terms of his license has been made.

Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence of “the consent of the governed.” Is it plausible that a government that wields such immense degrees of force against a peaceable private citizen genuinely has that consent – or believes that it has it?

#3 This is the type of incident that will become our era's Kexington & Concord moment

#4 They bring in agents from other parts of the country as the locals might not be so eager to do (illegally) what they're directed to do

#7 It was Barr, not Reno.

Barr was up to his eyeballs in protecting and supporting Horiuchi the shoot-without-provocation sniper as well as another FBI agent who likely perjured himself.

#8 All the reports and investigations subsequent to RR indicate that the same crew of FBI officials continued their malfeasance from 1992 through to 1995 at least.

Is their reason to believe that our FBI today is better led, more restrained and more competent than it was during the Ruby-Waco era?

Or are we headed for disaster?

If the latter, how do we avoid another Lex. & Concord? What can or should be done?

#9 Just like Waco, the Sheriff should have been asked to handle it.
