FBI Strikes Again Against Christians

[JohnyMac]

We are seeing our country daily, inch towards totalitarianism. Totalitarianism through .gov alphabet agencies. The latest and with a repeat performance, the FBI. 

The federal government asked financial institutions to rummage through customer data if terms such as "MAGA" or "Trump" were used in transactions, the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government revealed Wednesday, citing documents it obtained.

Transactions might also have been flagged by individuals who shopped at stores such as Cabela's or Dick's Sporting Goods, or purchased religious texts like a Bible, the committee said in a news release. - NewsMax

I am a Christian. I am a follower of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I am also a follower of God's son, Jesus Christ. Isn't it interesting how they are now going after Christians. It started with Obama when he said, "They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

If you too are a Christian, you are on their radar.

"Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted," 2 Timothy 3:12

Its more than being a specific religion, its about Pro-American, pro-Constitution and Bill Of Rights - They are after all of those too

A man's Faith steers him and sustains him.    Those two features alone are, at one point or another, going to come into conflict with any other faith that runs counter in method or values.
And clearly, we are becoming ever more separated by an abys separating us from so many "fellow Americans" where methods and values are concerned.
In focus, we do chose our trails in regards to real life and death.    Both corporeal and spiritual.

[Sir John Honeybucket]

They(tm) always become upset when someone ( usually a Christian) reminds Them(tm) that we must obey God rather than man and They(tm) are not God.


GOD > gov

We are all probably already on their list.  And likely more lists than we know about or can reasonably comprehend.

Just being here has us all on several with different qualifying factors.

Speaking of being on a list.... You can bet that nearly everyone is being watched in one way or another. The Alphabet Agencies all have their list of who they are to watch. Monitoring everything that is going on here on the internet is #1. I personally love to put "Guns, Bombs, and Explosives" in the Title of my emails. You know damned well that some deskbound monitor has his coffee shoot out of his nose when those trigger words show up in the Subject. Yep, the Subject is what they watch for trigger words. Then they read the email that has the trigger words in the subject. Here is a cute story that is supposed to be true. For some reason the FBI put a tracking device on a man's car and after about 6 months the man's mechanic spotted it, so the man removed it. It wasn't long before the FBI showed up and asked about THEIR DEVICE. The man gave them their device back. As they were leaving, one of the FBI agents told the man that he was glad that he found it because, "You are the most boring SOB that I've ever investigated". I personally think that they would feel the same way if they investigated any of us. Hell, we're just preparing to be self-sufficient. Just for giggles, I've taken my Frequency Counter, that also has a field strength S meter on it, out and walked around my vehicles just to see if it was transmitting a signal. Nope... Nothing to see here folks.

I believe I've already recounted the time a fellow came (via invitation) to my "Compound" (home, which is out in/surrounded by National Forest) for training of his dog, "tracking" to be specific.    Attending an open-to-the-public, Chapter website announced training day, he brought a dog I think could have easily been a loaner from the pound.  A trainer at these soirees, we divide up for different focus and I usually do the "tracking" form.   But mutt or not, scratch a dog and underneath is some wolf so when he seemed interested in getting his pooch to track, I invited him to come to my place where I have a very specific, "fast-track" area and birds used to get dogs off to a solid start.
He got to see everything of interest I guess... my kennel, "hobby hut" (with still) and during conversation during which I related how my Dad's brothers had been LEOS (police, training at Quantico, DEA, elected Sheriff), when asked directly what he did for a living... FBI.     Never saw him or his dog again.
My guess?
Flagstaff resident agent, tasked with checking out a list of individuals given him.   One name checked off, brief report attached.
Paranoia?
Perhaps.

No Felix, we have shared a similar story from me.

In my paranoid mind, I believe that there are lists - Lists with differing level of threats. My ego is not big enough to think I am on the A or B list, however, maybe I make the C or D list.   

Similarly, when the time comes for sites and people to be throttled, UP isn't at the top of the list but we are on "A list".

You have and discuss communications, firearms, living without electricity, water purification and storage of foodstuff.

You are on the top of several top level lists.

Note-- being here, discussing lists is sufficient to add you to, and move you up on lists.

You have skills, knowledge and wisdom, some of the things "our" govt fear the most

[Felix]

OK.
We are NOT crazy.
Our successes and integrations argue the case for sanity and competence.
So.     Lists.
Anyone here NOT listing (at least in their head) a number of bad actors who need a visit from justice if they were under our custody and authority?
Of course there are lists and our ranking on them is somewhat irrelevant.
What matters is that while everyone makes "lists", _theirs_ are the ones that order the 0400 take downs on individuals, no warning, no chance of escape or survival in resistance.
However "MAGA Terrorists" are stacked and their removal prioritized, the fact of their "disappearance" cannot be hidden after a certain number.    Word will circulate.   Branded "conspiracy paranoia" at first, it will become more and more obvious that yes, the criminals in charge are acting.    And at some point, the number of people who know what the score is and choose to "die on that hill" rather than go quietly will also achieve a "critical mass" that can no longer survive denial.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn wondered in print, what the difference might have been if those who were removed at night, one-by-one had instead, been protected and defended by the people around them - who understood they could be next?
Our fine America is no better than any other land in that we too have members willing to do awful things to their brethren - for money, for power, for ideology, for whatever.   
Victims _and_ heroes will be legion before any general "uprising" might occur if the junta plays its cards right.   If the lists are curated to their best advantage.
