OBAMA'S PERSONAL PRAETORIAN GUARD ATTACKS INNOCENT CITIZEN


After you read this- you will wonder what country we are in. 
Tom Francois is an outspoken critic of Barack Hussein Obama- and has a robust Twitter presence. He also likes to dabble with his "paint" program to create funny cartoons. He has never threatened the President in any way, manner or form.
On April 11, 2013, he heard relentless pounding on his door shouts of "Police!" The officers introduced themselves as members of The Secret Service and asked if they could "take a look around."
Since Tom had nothing to hide (and he didn't want any return visits) - he complied fully with their request. He even signed a consent to search his premises AND an "Authorization To Review Medical and Mental Health Records!"
They asked Tom if he ever left his state or traveled to Washington, D.C. 
One Agent asked Tom if he has any intentions of "whacking" the President." To which Tom replied- "Of course not. I wish him no harm. I disagree with his policies and actions and I make no bones about it. It's my First Amendment Right and I intend to exercise it."
When I spoke to Tom he said, "Yes, I am EXTREMELY critical of Obama in my posts, but I never cross the line and threaten his being. EVER. It's just the idea of Obama's Secret Service intruding on my life when they knew I wasn't really a threat."
The Secret Service had a thick FBI file- filled with screenshots of hundreds of posts. Said Tom, "I flat out told them 'I have NEVER threatened Obama's life! Yes, I despise him as you can plainly see, but I have that right!' They actually ADMITTED and agreed with me that I hadn't threatened Obama."
They had run a background check and discovered that Tom legally owned two guns- and they asked to see them. Tom showed them his firearms. They asked, "Are they loaded?" Tom replied in the affirmative. "What good are guns if they aren't loaded?" 
So why harass Tom? "The Secret Service officers claimed that "they were concerned that since I have a large Twitter following, and the things I said could be acted upon by some nut case out there! What the hell? They turned my life upside down for THAT?"
Tom didn't refuse the search because they just would have gone and gotten a warrant. "They would have proceeded to tear my house apart. No thanks. I have nothing to hide. They left empty-handed and my house is still intact." 
When they left Tom's house, one Secret Service Agent 'advised'- "Keep in mind, if you step over the line, we'll come back for your guns." 
After the "visit" to Tom, the Secret Service also visited Tom's 22 year old daughter- terrifying her and making her fear for her father's safety. She asked them what they were going to do with the information about her Dad. They said they were going to "turn it over to Eric Holder- he has the last word on what to do, if anything." 
Should anyone have any doubt about the veracity of this report, Mr. Francois had the presence of mind to make copies of the Consent To Search (which expressly included computers, hardware, software, recording devices, cell phones, data storage, etc). It also states: "I understand that any contraband or evidence may be used against me in a court of law."
The "Consent To Search" and the "Authorization To Review Medical and Mental Health Records" signed and dated by the special agents of the Secret Service- were furnished to this reporter. 
Wake up, America. 
This administration is spying on Americans, via the NSA and targeting Tea Party and religious groups for voter suppression via the IRS. Now- Obama's Secret Service is paying personal "visits"- on law abiding citizens? This is TYRANNY! 
Keep in mind, dear readers- this raid upon Tom Francois and his home - took place just 4 days before The Boston Bombing. Was this a good use of manpower? 
Everyone should be outraged by this story. Republican, Democrat, Independent, Libertarian- EVERYONE!
This kind of intimidation and strong arm tactics CANNOT stand.
Just because a thin-skinned president doesn't like what a private citizen posts (as his First Amendment Right) on the internet?
Can you say "Banana Republic?"

THE U.S. SECRET SERVICE MURDERED JFK

Image
Amateur snapshot, made with Kodak Brownie camera, of Kennedys and Connallys in the motorcade about two minutes before the shooting in Dealey Plaza. An ocean of ink has been wasted "proving" that John F. Kennedy was killed by any person or organization other than the U.S. Secret Service, the law enforcement agency charged with his protection. In the 2002 book by the late Philip H. Melanson entitled, "The Secret Service: The Hidden History of an Enigmatic Agency" lays the blame for the murder of JFK exactly where it belongs: On the shoulders of the officers and their supervisors in the U.S. Secret Service charged with his protection, who not only failed to protect the president from assassination, but took part in a dastardly conspiracy to murder the young president and gave perjury to the Warren Commission in order to cover up their guilt. This untold story is revealed in Chapter three, "Losing Lancer -The JFK Assassination" (pp.58- 89) - where we le

Kevin Billings: The Rogue Secret Service Agent

Image
First Published: May 31, 2006 Kevin Billings was one of many Secret Service agents who has dogged my heels for several years has had a little adventure of his own in the Congo recently made national news and points to the rogue nature of a major federal law enforcement agency increasingly out of control. I first met Agent Billings in November, 2001 while walking in downtown Orlando and dodging the rain. I passed by the entrance to a bank building on Orange Avenue when this middle aged grey headed guy dressed in a raincoat literally leaped out into the rain by my side and said, "I'm Kevin Billings of the Secret Service -- How are you, Mr. Barbour?" "Minding my own business, " I replied and ducked into a Starbucks for a coffee as I had pre-planned. Billings and another agent followed me into the coffee shop. The other agent was a giant who stood with Billings against the wall in a hostile manner with an aggressive stare from tiny blue ey

MEMORANDUM FOR U.S. SECRET SERVICE ON NEXT MEETING

Image
@Special Agent G-Man of The U.S. Secret Service: Done..My secretary has rescheduled our next meeting for xxxx at the xxxxx in beautiful xxxx, where the Johnny Reb (me) will be waiting in the middle of the river for Billy Yank (you) to trade talk for talk, as both sides have long realized that "firing" on lone sentries will not change the course of coming civil war battles. Speaking of civil war and future battles, as I predicted in 2008, our grand & glorious leader OBAMA THE FIRST has started ruling by Executive Orders with a passion by recently making illegal aliens "legal" by his signature on a piece of worthless piece of paper. I said that he would do this if his party lost control in Congress, which it has in part. Of course, this is high treason because it clearly goes against the immigration law enacted by Congress and came on the 150th anniversary of the first battle of the first U.S. Civil War in 1861. The House of Representatives now has a very o
