Bandon Raub released; FBI still exists

I am making a concerted effort to ignore reality, other than to prepare for an economic collapse, and have attended local concerts in the park, all great, juicing vegetables, and sitting in the sun. I bought a keyboard and am getting back to being a human for a while.

I figure I have done what I could and the election is coming. I did buy blackandright.org in order to set up a page to address the only real Democratic voting block, but who has time to participate in important things.

So, I am going to lunch, now, but wanted to provide something positive. Remember the last post about the guy a swarm of FBI and local police arrested because he promoted a rally on Facebook?

 Brandon Raub Set to Be Released!

By Silver Shield, on August 23rd, 2012

HOPEWELL, Va. –
A judge today ordered the release of a Marine Corps veteran being detained as a psychiatric patient after concerns over his Facebook postings. 

After an hourlong hearing, Circuit Judge W. Allan Sharrett said an involuntary commitment petition issued against Brandon J. Raub was invalid because it contained no allegation or basis to holding him. 

“The petition is so devoid of any factual allegations that it could not be reasonably expected to give rise to a case or controversy,” said the release order signed by the judge and sought by lawyers Anthony F. Troy and Brian D. Fowler.

The point is still made to people:  we will arrest you and haul you off in front of your neighbors.

The ACLU just hired a man to act as its lead in the area of technological communication. He says you can set up SSL on Facebook, but the government will still get whatever they ask for on anyone. In addition, the new hire said he was told by a Spring official that they always give the government what they ask for about users.  Essentially, he says his job is to get the big players to protect security. I say get away from them.  You can see why I am moving to VirginMobile.

He became famous when, at about 20, he put on his web site a widget that would produce a ticket that would get anyone passed security in the airport. Of course, the FBI arrested him and took his computer. It took a month for the numbskulls in charge to admit he had demonstrated a flaw in the security system; did I say "security?"  Recall a recent blog where the FBI went to an army base to arrest a soldier for an item in his Facebook account?

Now, go Google:  The SS, Praetorian Guard, Revolutionary Guard

Dictators don't need no stinkin' laws.
