Aug-19-2012 01:53TweetFollow @OregonNews U.S. Marine Arrested for Facebook PostsTim King Salem-News.comFeds retaliate against another critic of the U.S. government.
(SALEM / RICHMOND) - A decorated U.S. Marine who served his nation in two wars, Brandon Raub, of Richmond Virginia, was arrested for airing his critical views of the U.S. government on Facebook this weekend. We just reported yesterday that a Human Rights activist in Bahrain is being prosecuted for six Twitter messages. Politically, this country is increasingly resembling Bahrain and other nations that arrest those who speak out critically over federal policy. His mother, Kathleen Thomas, says it is another case of the word 'terrorist' being applied to arrest and detain a citizen. You can hear the pride she feels for her son when she explains what he has been through, and by all counts Ms. Thomas makes her points loud and clear. The law enforcement officials rolled up to the man's home around 7:00 last night. "He was there, the FBI, Secret Service and Chesterfield Police showed up in a storm," she said. Thomas says her son was questioned about why he was writing certain comments, "He basically said 'I have some disagreements with the government and share this', and they said, 'You have to go with us'". "He was handcuffed, not read his rights, put into a Chesterfield Police Department vehicle and taken to John Randolph Psychiatric Hospital in Hopewell, Virginia," Thomas said. Agent Sherry Grainger with the Federal Bureau of Investigation called Kathleen Thomas, who described the conversation. She said, "I am with the FBI" and "We have taken your son. He has been arrested by the Chesterfield County Police Dept because he assaulted an officer and resisted arrest. He has been arrested and taken to the Chesterfield Police Department." The agent asked about whether her son was violent, Thomas explained that he was not, but that he loves his country. She asked the FBI agent if freedom of speech still exists in the United States. "Yes we still have freedom of speech", Grainger reportedly said. The FBI agent reportedly added, "The threats that he was making were terrorist in nature," telling Thomas roughly the extent of information that has been released so far, which is not much. Thomas was able to talk to her son on the phone. As to what he is being charged with, she said, "He does not know, he has no idea why he is being held, he is told he will see a judge on Monday." As referenced, the FBI agent, Grainger, reportedly told the woman that her son Brandon Raub was arrested for assault and resisting arrest… It was later when Grainger stated that the threat made by Raub was "terrorist in nature". We do not have a track yet on what the comments on the Facebook page were, or if this arrest and failure to charge and administer Miranda Right, is an aspect or development of the new U.S. federal government's National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which has Americans bewildered, frightened and angry. Thomas said in regard to the political view she and her son share, "We're not violent but we're very serious about what we believe. He is a patriot, He basically said that they, the government, are lying."
Our friend and fellow writer in Occupied Palestine, Siraj Davis, knows well that 'terrorism' is a label applied to those who resist fascist rule and decree. With regard to the arrest of this Marine, he said:
The video shows that the arrest was non-violent. Marines know when to employ self-defense and when to comply with an impossible situation. Brandon Raub is a Marine with serious background, but it is extremely noteworthy that he was a Sergeant of Marines and a fairly young one it appears. This is a sign of a tremendous individual capable of beating amazing odds. I personally think it makes the rambunctious agents in the federal government squirm when they consider the power and pull that current and former U.S. Marines have in regard to community leadership. They don't seem to find a great deal of comfort in the existence of Occupy Marines which we are proudly part of. People trust and respect the word of Marines far more than their overpaid cousins in law enforcement who lap from the public trough while working as the guard dogs of a government descending into non-existence due to its ridiculous policies that favor war over the poor. Brandon Raub, you're on point Brother, but we have your six- your Brothers and Sisters will see you are out of there soon enough... Facebook page for Brandon J Raub The President of the United States: Free Brandon RaubHis arrest based on his patriotic Facebook posts is against the Freedom of Speech. He is in no way a terrorist and only wants to see this country turn around. Petition for his release and for everyone's freedom of speech. The government does not have our permission to monitor our Facebook posts and they do not have persmission to arrest someone for non-violent patriotic posts.

Tim King has more than twenty years of experience on the west coast as a television news producer, photojournalist, reporter and assignment editor. Tim is Salem-News.com's Executive News Editor. His background includes covering the war in Afghanistan in 2006 and 2007, and reporting from the Iraq war in 2008. Tim is a former U.S. Marine who follows stories of Marines and Marine Veterans; he's covered British Royal Marines and in Iraq, Tim embedded with the same unit he served with in the 1980's. He holds awards for reporting, photography, writing and editing from traditional mainstream news agencies like The Associated Press and Electronic Media Association; he also holds awards from the National Coalition of Motorcyclists, the Oregon Confederation of Motorcycle Clubs; and was presented with a 'Good Neighbor Award' for his reporting, by the The Red Cross. Tim's years as a Human Rights reporter have taken on many dimensions; he has rallied for a long list of cultures and populations and continues to every day, with a strong and direct concentration on the 2009 Genocide of Tamil Hindus and Christians in Sri Lanka. As a result of his long list of reports exposing war crimes against Tamil people, Tim was invited to be the keynote speaker at the FeTNA (Federation of Tamil Sangams of North America) Conference in Baltimore, in July 2012. This is the largest annual gathering of North American Tamils; Tim addressed more than 3000 people and was presented with a traditional Sri Lanka ‘blessed garland’ and a shawl as per the tradition and custom of Tamil Nadu, India. The notorious list comprising Tim's ancestors includes Pedro de Alvarado, the lieutenant of Hernando Cortez of Spain; King Phillip IV, Eleanor of Aquitaine and William the Conqueror. Perhaps most interestingly, King John; the dark force in the story Robin Hood, and also the last Spanish governor of California, a real person fictionalized as the arch rival of the character in Zorro, are in reality both Tim's multiple-great grandfathers. Others include a Confederate officer in the U.S. Civil War and a decorated 'hero' of the Mexican-American War and the so-called 'Indian Wars'. In fact on the east coast, Tim's lineage with the Slaughter and King families, pre-dates the Mayflower and several members of his family were soldiers in the Revolutionary War. He says his family's past; some of which is very dark; some quite chivalrous, presents a certain responsibility, and that in part drives his desire to see that people in today's world are not exploited or allowed to suffer in silence as victims of Human Rights violations, as people of previous times were. In a personal capacity, Tim has written 2,026 articles as of March 2012 for Salem-News.com since the new format designed by Matt Lintz was launched in December, 2005. Serving readers with news from all over the globe, Tim's life is literally encircled by the endless news flow published by Salem-News.com, where more than 100 writers contribute stories from 23+ countries and regions. Tim specializes in writing about political and military developments worldwide; and maintains that the label 'terrorist' is ill placed in many cases; specifically with the LTTE Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, where it was used as an excuse to slaughter people by the tens of thousands; and in Gaza, where a trapped population lives at the mercy of Israel's destructive military war crime grinder. At the center of all of this, Tim pays extremely close attention to the safety and welfare of journalists worldwide. You can write to Tim at this address: tim@salem-news.com.

OK? I realize now what is going on... I think, and this is only my opinion. lately there have been a rash of public killings going on. Police FBI everyone with a badge has been taking serious heat regarding preventing this from happening! These shootings have been all we've witnessed day and night on the news ever since the theatre shooting. Another thing I wish to point out... He is white! When white guys decide to act they go all the way and get serious. While the other's, stand around and yell and scream in crowds, hoping for even larger numbers for support, then before long they lose their minds, erruting into riot status. But yes. One must be cautious these days as certain speech can be considered an arrestable offense. Especially recent active shooter incidents. Again, only my opinion. I may possibly be full of hog-wash as well...

Jesse Cash August 23, 2012 7:46 am (Pacific time)
My name is Jesse Cash, I have known Brandon for nearly a decade. We served together in Iraq, and Afghanistan. I am a college student, majoring in history(possibly changing to military intelligence). I have spoken with Brandon atleast on a weekly basis for the last year, many times daily. In fact I spoke with him the day before his detainment, and the day of the hospital “hearing” I was in the hospital with his family and lawyers. just a little pertinent background reference, both my parents are in the medical field and have a combined 30 years in mental health. Brandon Raub does not suffer from any mental illnesses. He is not experiencing psychosis. I have extensive knowledge with PTSD; my father was a navy corpsman in Vietnam and has been diagnosed with PTSD. I grew up around my fathers marines and know what the signs and symptoms are. I have been evaluated by 2 psychologists and medically cleared. (I wanted to have my sanity documented for situations such as these). Brandon is not suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, in fact he has no symptoms of the disorder at all. He is easily the most clear minded individual I know. He has a strong moral compass and the heart of a boy. He is well read on the history of modern politics, and philosophy, I would say he has probably read 60 books this year. He is logical, he is resonable and some suggest this situation was specifically manipulated by him to make amercians aware of the level of survielance we are currently under, to that regard I will not comment. As to his nature, is he capable of violence? Let me tell you a story that sums up his character. While in Afghanistan Brandon was involved in an operation in which two Afghani soldiers were catastrophically wounded(they had lost multiple limbs) but they were trapped in a IED(booby trap) laden compound, Brandon disregarded his personal safety and crawled into the compound to drag each of them out, the other marines present refused to help him, Because they were afghanis. Brandon saw them as Humans in distress. After bringing the first out, he turned around and went back in a second time to retrieve the other. Once he drug them to safety he tended to their wounds and successfully saved their lives. Brandon is one of my personal heros. He is easily the best man I know. Both he and I are decorated for combat valor, and are men of integrity. This man not only saved the lives of his friends, but also his enemies. He is not capable of evil, for his heart belongs to good. He is a man of Jesus, and stands up for the weak. His displeasure with the goverment is because of the evil, deciet, and corruption that is oppresing us and he is not afraid to take a stand to make it stop. "I stand against a great evil I will do it by myself if I must" -Brandon Raub He has been singled out because of his heart, and his spirit, not his words. Millions say and have said worse. Rap songs speak of murder rape insest and sometimes worse, yet they are not arrested because tbey are in the public eye. Brandon is not a timothy mckvey outsider from the woods. He is a war hero, with a host of friends and comrades at his back. This man believes in freedom for all, and has asked for non violent protest. ” I love the American people with all my heart” Brandon Raub (Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/former-marine-brandon-raub-is-being-held-in-a-psychiatric-ward-over-facebook-posts-about-911-2012-8)

I want to share this with everyone . It was a response to the post about the news paper story and thought you all might want to read it..............................................Pam Forrest writes:...........
So, according to this story, "no abc agency, nor any police dept." arrested this guy on any charges or suspicion of any crime; just "questioned him", and then "transported him" to a psychiatric hospital AGAINST HIS WILL; and have kept him there, AGAINST HIS WILL, AND CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AS A FREE-BORN AMERICAN CITIZEN!!
When these "agencies" take such power, we are all in danger; every one of us, for what we may say, or write, or think, as our First Amendment Rights, bought with the Blood of our Founders, guarantees. The elected, unelected, and agency hirelings are to PROTECT our Constitutional Free Speech, and our nation, as is THEIR DUTY, but they now think However because these agencies appear to have "unlimited power" these days, and intimidate us, most Americans FEAR these agencies, because of the corruption of their OATH!! Will "I disappear" for using MY Rights of Free Speech, and by speaking my opinion, and stating what's on my mind, as this soldier did??
This guy served to Protect our Freedoms, and now he's been hijacked by unknown agencies or police. We don't even know what crime or act of insanity has been committed by this guy! They arrogantly "deemed" his guilt, and had him taken, without being charged with a crime! These "agents", and "officers" SUPPOSEDLY take an OATH to GOD and man, to Uphold, Protect, and DEFEND our Constitution, which INCLUDES our Bill of RIGHTS!! In my opinion, they have been abusing our RIGHTS, Freedom of Speech, and freedom of due process for too long; and now again in this case!! Wonder how many others have been done this way!
So, a patriotic ex-soldier/citizen doesn't have "the RIGHT" to express his opinion that so-called, "govt. officials", who are in reality, elected, unelected, or hired BUREAUCRATS, ie: Public Servants, whose JOBS are to make sure OUR FREEDOMS ARE SAFE! That is bullcrap. These buresucrats would do better to follow their Oaths, and our Laws. If they are given, or the one to give, an illegal order, it is their duty to report this crime--not do it!!
If a citizen witnesses bureaucratic wrong-doing, violating their Oath's, or our Laws, he doesn't have the RIGHT to call for their arrest? You know, there are quite a few that should have been arrested for their actions. Do I not have the "right" to demand Justice and Accountability from these "high and mighty agents, and their leaders??"
How about let's talk about REAL CRIMES against America: Witness the "Fast and Furious CRIMES" committed by the batf and the so-called "justice dept.!!" Aren't there some congressional hearings, and lawsuits brought to court against these agencies and their criminal leaders?? What about the "hot tub and heavy partying scandals" that were going on?? Didn't THESE STINKING BUREAUCRATS also take an OATH to Uphold our Constitution, and therefore our LAW OF THE LAND?? Okay, if that ain't bad enough...let's consider the "secret service scandal", where our taxpayer dollars were paying for the BUREAUCRATS WHORES, AND SEX PARTIES...Didn't THEY also "Swear an OATH to America??" Yeah, these are all bureaucrats, and all have been wasting, and abusing our Freedoms and our Taxpayer Dollars since the damned inception of these bloated, corrupt, "abc agencies!"
For one thing, these corrupt agencies, czars, wanna-be dictators, and little minions who steal from the taxpaying citizens, are NOT "the government." We the People are. Period. Read our Declaration, our Constitution, and our Bill of RIGHTS, as well as the writings of our Founders. NOWHERE do they call for, nor even imply the NEED, OR LEGALITY OF ANY of these assorted, corrupt, "abc agencies!!" Nowhere do they state that America was created, has been, or ever should be, a FILTHY "democracy", as they held "democracies" in CONTEMPT, as I do. Democracies always destroy the Freedoms of the People, and literally destroy their nations, as we are witnessing today. How many abc agencies do we have now?? How many "czars??" HOW MUCH TAXPAYER MONEY HAS BEEN STOLEN OR WASTED BY THESE DAMNEDABLE BUREAUCRATS?
What the HELL would our Founders think of the bloated abomination of a coming-fast POLICE STATE?? Would they REGRET giving their lives, losing their families, and being imprisoned, for what the nation they, with the help of THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY created?? Yes, this is HIS NATION,, that the corrupters are busily corrupting, and having a good ole' time, while abusing their OATH'S of Office!! I too say that those who violate their Oath, should be arrested and brought to Justice!! Should "I also" be dragged from my home, and imprisoned in a mental ward, for "daring" to use my Free Speech?
The farce of claiming that our soldiers are crazy, so they can't have guns, is just one more attack on our Bill of Rights. All UnConstitutional agencies should be disbanded, and defunded. The worst two are both of the "NEA'S!" They have, and are, ruining our youth.
Charge him with a TRUE charge, or let him go!!!!

What he wrote on Facebook:
The Truth
America has lost itself. We have lost who we truly are. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave. This is the land of Thomas Jefferson. This is the land of Benjamin Franklin. This is the land of Fredrick Douglas. This is the land of Smedley Butler. This is the land John F. Kennedy. This is the land of Martin Luther King. This is the land where the cowboy wins. This is the land where you can start from the bottom and get to the top. This is the land where regardless of you race and ethnicity you can suceed and build a better life for you and your family. This is the land where every race coexists peacefully. This is the land where justice wins. This is the land where liberty dwells. This is the land where freedom reigns. This is the land where we help the poor, and people help eachother. This is land where people beat racism.
The federal reserve is wrong. They have designed a system based off of gread and fear. They designed a system to crush the middle class between taxes and inflation. This is wrong, and it is unjust. It is wrong.
We have allowed ourselves to be devieced and seduced by the powers of the printing press. It is not a good system. It discourages saving: the foundation for all stable economic activity. The federal reserve is artificially manipulating interests rates and creating phony economic data. This thing has decieved our entire nation.
They created it 1913. They also created the income tax in 1913. They encouraged the growth of debt so they can tax you on it. There is interest on the debt. Your government is in bed with these people. They want to enslave you to the government so that they can control every aspect of your lives. It is an empire based on lies. They operate of greed and fear.
There is a better way. It’s called freedom. Freedom is called a lot of things. But there is a true meaning. It means very simply that you have the right to do whatever you want as long as you are not infringing on the feedoms of other people.
I firmly believe that God set America apart from the other nations of the world. He saved a place where people could come to to escape bad systems of goverment. This system we have created works. It really works.
There is evil going on all around the world. The United States was meant to lead the charge against injustice, but through our example not our force. People do not respond to having liberty and freedom forced on them.
Men and Women follow courage. They follow leadership, and courage. Our example has paved the way for people all around the world to change their forms of goverment.
Force is not the way because liberty is a powerful concept. The idea that men can govern themselves is the basis for every just form of government.
We can govern ourselves. We do not need to be governed by men who want to install a one world banking system. These men have machine hearts. Machine and unnatural hearts. They have blocked out the possibility of a better world. They fear human progress. They have monopolies on everything.
This life can be free and beautiful. There are enough resources on this earth to support the world’s population. There are enough resources on this earth to feed everyone. There is enough land for everyone to own their own land and farm, and produce their own energy.
These people have been hiding technology. There are ways to create power easily. There is technology that can provide free cheap power for everyone. There are farming techniques that can feed the entire world.
They are controlling your media. They have dumbed you down through your school systems. They have systematically dismantled the constitution. It is in rags.
The bill of rights is being systematically dismantled. Men have spilled their blood for those rights.
Your sons and daughters, your brothers and sisters, and Americas best young men and women are loosing their limbs. They are loosing their lives. They are loosing the hearts. They do not know why they are fighting. They are killing. And they do not know why.
They have done some extroadinary acts. Their deeds go before them. But these wars are lies. They are lies. They decieved our entire nation with terrorism. They have gotten us to hand them our rights. Our Rights! Men died for those rights!
September Eleventh was an inside job. They blew up a third building in broad daylight. Building 7.
Your leaders betrayed you.
You elected an aristocracy. They are beholden to special interests. They were brainwashed through the Council on Foreign Relations. Your leaders are planning to merge the United States into a one world banking system. They want to put computer chips in you.
These men have evil hearts. They have tricked you into supporting corporate facism. We gave them the keys to our country. We were not vigilant with our republic.
There is hope. BUT WE MUST TAKE OUR REPUBLIC BACK.

Tim, this "forum" is a horrible format to have an intelligent debate in, LOL!
Hey, so we disagree on the Israeli thing but everything else we're pretty much together on.
Say we focus our efforts and activism on the REAL terrorism that stands before us... my former employer the US Gov't and this instance it's illegal and unjust detainment of Marine Brandon Raub for speaking his mind at what he saw as an unjust government run amok!
This, my friend, I believe we have as common ground and will attract more support than tainting the pot with bitter unrelated topics. can agree on wholly
Tim King: No question about the support for our Marine Brother, glad we were able to walk through this, my DI's taught us that there were only light green and dark green Marines anyway, Semper fi.
EricX August 19, 2012 7:06 pm (Pacific time)
Yea, and there have NEVER been any Jews living there before 1948... nope, never. Bwhahhahhaaa!!!
Tim King: Eric, I did not say that, would not say that. The Jews are oldest of the monotheistic faiths. Jesus came along two thousand years ago and Muhammad six hundred years after that. Anyone who thinks Jews weren't there from early on, is wrong. The difference is that there was balance for a long time that is vanished in many ways and that is tragic.. The thing is, until Hitler and the terrible Genocide of Europe, people all lived in the Holy Land together. I really want to stress that the only thing for us all to keep our eye on is Human Rights. People have no right to take the rights of others. This whole mad religious issue manifests hardcore in the Arab countries that the U.S. and Israel both do business with; the Salafists and the Wahhabi extremists would have us all strung up. The craziest thing of all is that Iran, eternally targeted by Israel even though Israel has at least 200 illegal armed nuclear warheads pointed at its perceived enemies, all undeclared, is one of the countries in that region that has laws protecting Jewish people. Sadly I think the biggest enemy the Israelis have is themselves. The good people there don't deserve that fate.
Tim King, you are beyond hope. You're a pretty good writer and I know your heart is in the right place but there are ALWAYS two sides to any story and adding obvious bias and unrealated quotations do your cause no good.
Tim King: You can see it as you will Eric, but I write about all of this constantly and I am not anti-American, however I decry the acts of this nation like the war in Iraq. I have been there, I have seen the results of that 'bad intelligence' and it is all so wrong. I want my country and every country to use extreme fairness in its judgements.
I know of the Raub incident and am actively working to bring him justice (which is how I found your article) but once you went on the anti-Israeli and anti-American crap, you lost me. Stick to the subject and we have the common ground to work on a common cause.
Tim King: OK but I know you did not read that and gather that I or the Palestinian restaurant owner did something bad. I was specifically asked to write that story by another journalist who could not cover it because the paper this contact works for would never have been able to carry it. Now just consider that for a moment. If I didn't think the endless support of Israel was the biggest example of U.S. political problems in the Middle east; and directly tied to the whole overuse of the term 'terrorist' - then I would not have brought it in. People need to appreciate the absurdity, I have a feeling you agree, so lets move forward, thanks.

"...and that the George Bush's family rapes little children"
PROVE IT!!!
Tim King: Do you know about the White House sex scandal that went all the way back to Reagan that centered around a politician named Larry King? The words you question are from Siraj; he is welcome to add more but I suggest you begin with Larry King and 'Boys town' and be ready to be sick to your stomach.

"...and that the George Bush's family rapes little children"
"...and in Gaza, where a trapped population lives at the mercy of Israel's destructive military war crime grinder"
This isn't JOURNALISM, it's an anti-Israeli, anti-American propaganda hit piece.
Shameful you can't report on an injustice without throwing out your own unrelated biases.
Bet you don't allow this or my previous post to go up.
Tim King: Hey Eric, do you get paid well for your Internet troll job? I'm sorry you don't realize that truth is journalism.
EricX August 19, 2012 5:47 pm (Pacific time)
I was right with you up until you used the term "Occupied Palestine"
There is and has never been a nation of "Palestine"!!!
Tim King: Dang Eric, sorry to his this juncture. I suggest you search 'Palestine Mandate' and that will help you to understand more about this. The land that Israel now claims; illegally in so many cases, has always been Palestine, and that does not imply any religious connotation. The land has historically been inhabited by Jewish people, Muslim people and Christians. Today of course that takes on a much bigger role, in so many ways, but the land is historically Palestine. Israel is a very new concept, as is Zionism, which was conceived by Theodor Herzl in the late 1800's. He was inspired to create Israel and portray God as the great real estate agent in the sky who said, "this land, that people already live on... is yours because you are Jewish." Well that is outwardly unfair and if you would like me to give you a list of the hundreds and hundreds of historic Palestinian villages that have been eradicated by Israel I will give it to you. The bottom line is that the Mandate mentioned above did represent Palestine in the eyes of the colonial British. The document that created the groundwork for Israel is the Balfour Declaration and that document undermined the words of TE Lawrence 'Lawrence of Arabia' who promised the Arabs that their world would be left in peace if they helped defeat the Turks in Jerusalem in WWI which they did. The Balfour Declaration reversed the promise and it was only two years later. When Israel was being formed in '47, one Palestinian village after another was eradicated by the different Israeli terror groups. Some Israelis bolted from the ranks and instead helped the Palestinians. Just remember there is good and bad in every culture Eric, I don't know what kind of conditioning you have been going through but it has not served you well..
When was it founded?
Tim King: Think 'Philistine' - the word represents the place historically. This is not an inference that it belongs to only Muslims or Christians or Jews. Sadly that is what Israel says and that government is an apartheid state with one set of laws for Jews and another for Muslims and Christians. They even have 'Jewish only' roads and to this American, that rings sharply of vast oppression. The Palestinian kids can be arrested when they are very young and they are treated horribly in custody. Jewish kids can't even be arrested.
What currency does it use?
Where is its constitution?
Who was it's founding father? That Egyptian-born terrorist Yassir Arafat? Pfffttt!!!
Tim King: PLO Chairman Arafat ha flaws without question but he was representing an oppressed people, Israel used to represent David, today David has become Goliath. Nobody wants war, or oppression, or anything negative, but Israel is bent on its Zionist philosophy to steal every piece of land. I know from your comments that you have not read the history, please do so and get up to speed. If you are a good person, you would not agree with Israeli policy and there is nothing wrong with learning and facing uncomfortable truths.
What is "Palestine's" major industry (besides terrorism)?
Tim King: Hamas 'rocket attacks' are so constantly discussed in western media that people here think there are thousands every day being fired, not true. It is true that rocket attacks have killed Israeli people and that is terrible. The number since the rockets were first fired from Gaza is 28, some say 29. Sometimes that many people are murdered in a single day where I grew up in gangland LA. But in response to those 'rocket attacks' (Al Qassam rockets are unguided- they are often called 'glorified fireworks') Israel launched an operation three years ago called obnoxiously 'Cast Lead' and they killed more than 1400 people and among them, were 400 children. Anyone who does nor mourn this loss and the tens of thousands of injured is a son of a bitch. 56 hospitals, more than 200 schools, were all attacked and Israel was charged with war crimes but the US blocked the charges with 'super veto' power in the UN. Israeli is just like Sri Lanka; it believes it can carry out a Genocide of a population and get away with it by using the word 'terrorist' in every paragraph at least once and at this point pal, you are just like the people persecuting this Marine.
What is its main export (besides rockets fired daily aimed at civilians)?
Tim King: 28 that's twenty-eight t-w-e-n-t-y- e-i-g-h-t. Israeli people in all time. I am specifically not being rude friend, but wow, you are shocking.
What is their contribution to the world besides terrorism, hatred and atisemetism?
Tim King: You actually think people following Israeli war crimes care about the religion? I hate this crap, just like the Sri Lanka terrorists; and by that I mean the government, just like Israel, all they can do is accuse me of being against Buddhists, what a crock of shit, seriously. Try getting over yourself, that might help. All people are the same by design, only flawed by bad culture, religion and parenting. Antisemitism for the record, means being against people who originate from the Arab region; who speak Arab based languages. I suppose of some place like Israel killed your family you would do what... invite them over for dinner?
Hey, what about the "Occupied Palestine" in Jordan?
Tim King: The occupation is very real, you should appreciate not having to be constantly demeaned and held up, forced through endless checkpoints that the Israeli people never even see. The sad part is that so many Israeli people from the right wing do seek blood. the hatred is real, you could cut it with a knife, too bad that piece of shit Hitler had so much luck at murdering people while the British and French and Americans slept and waited and the Russians, those assholes even tried to work with him, what a terrible legacy it all is. So the Jewish people came in the late 40's and the whole things went badly. People need to step back from it and Human Rights need to be administered equally. I mean you Eric, you sound like you are condemning all Palestinians and that includes kids and that really disturbs me. Try to imagine yourself in the shoes of one of the Palestinian dads who hears Israeli F-16's and drones over his home every day. It is sickening that people are so cruel in their hearts and when that is combined with ignorance, it becomes lethal. No rewards for complacency.
Meanwhile, in Israel, doctors developing a more effective stroke medicine may have created a cancer vaccine... and they may have found a cure for HIV... what contributions to humanity did the Palestinians produce again?
Tim King: You are so damned superior aren't you? I am shocked at the hatred and racial bigotry that some people are willing to write. For the record, we work with friends in Israel every day who are working only for peace, not this baseless hasbara propaganda Eric shares. Shukran

CDC August 19, 2012 10:20 am (Pacific time)
Keep in mind that service men and women are held to different standards than civilians. There are different laws that govern them and they don't have all the rights that civilians do. The fact that he's a Marine has a lot to do with the whole situation.
Aliel The Heretic August 19, 2012 10:11 am (Pacific time)
I know the difference. I have personally spoken worse things than Brandon Raub on Facebook about the government. I have even made DAMNING videos against war crimes. But there is a connection. There was once a decorated Marine Veteran known as Charles A. Dyer. he spoke out against the government too. But the government didnt bother him. But when he was offered a leadership position as the Oathkeeper Oklahoma chapter president, the feds went after him and charged him with child rape. Even thought DNA evidence proved Mr. Dyer was innocent, the judge would not allow the evidence to enter the court proceedings, and inevitable the jury found Mr. Dyer guilty of child rape based on circumstancial evidence. THE CONNECTION: Brandon Raub and Charles Dyer both OFFERED TO LEAD OTHERS. And the federal government cant have battle hardened, decorated marines running around leading a political resistance against the establishment.
McGavel August 19, 2012 10:10 am (Pacific time)
If this story nor any other story doesn't know what has fully been said on his FaceBook then none of you do either so please stop saying things like, "I've seen way worse posts on FaceBook." Did you see all his messages talking about wanting to kill people? Me either, so how do you know he wasn't getting a little too mad? Logic applied to the fact that they haven't taken down or blocked his facebook page tells me that they are probably about to let him go once they figure out he is not a psycho...if he indeed isn't. If they thought he was indeed a terrorist they would have taken his FB page down because any good hacker can go in and see all his posts and messages and reveal what he said. It's also possible that the government just came in and got him for no reason at all, but that's just being objective and sounds really stupid when you think about it cuz they have the rest of their public image to lose and nothing to gain by coming in and harassing somebody for commments that are normal.
McGavel August 19, 2012 10:06 am (Pacific time)
Be objective. Plenty of people have "voiced their discontent" with the government on FaceBook...So what. Do you people honestly think that this marine said something as harmless as, "I hate our government and it needs to change"? There is simply no reason for them to swoop in like that unless they put 2 and 2 together and realized this guy might pop into another big shooting. So, they tell the media he is resisting arrest to keep him and talk to him. He's a marine. He has skills to kill people. Mix that with enough anger and you have every right to be afraid. I'm just saying that the point is this: he OBVIOUSLY said something along the lines of him wanting to physically do something to change our government or they wouldn't have swooped in on him. Be objective. What purpose would anybody have to come arrest someone just for speaking their mind in a moment of rage? He must have said something pretty alarming and as long as nobody is hurt then I'm glad we are protected from people going psycho before they actually do it. I'm sure the mommy of the PhD student who shot everyone up in the movies didn't expect her little kiddie to do that either. Better safe than sorry and only time will tell what happens. I'm glad you cover this though as we DO need to make sure the government knows that we can watch them and expose them as well when they screw around. We are all just people on the planet subject to our thoughts, emotions, and temptations. Let's get into the new era of technology where info is everywhere and the truth won't hide for long.

To view over 300 pages of crimes committed by FBI agents see http://forum.goupstate.com/viewtopic.php?f=2andt=8673andstart=650 CNN exclusive: FBI misconduct reveals sex, lies and videotape By Scott Zamost and Kyra Phillips, CNN Special Investigations Unit January 27, 2011 Washington (CNN) -- An FBI employee shared confidential information with his girlfriend, who was a news reporter, then later threatened to release a sex tape the two had made. A supervisor watched pornographic videos in his office during work hours while "satisfying himself." And an employee in a "leadership position" misused a government database to check on two friends who were exotic dancers and allowed them into an FBI office after hours. These are among confidential summaries of FBI disciplinary reports obtained by CNN, which describe misconduct by agency supervisors, agents and other employees over the last three years.

As the noose tightens, we will see more of these "examples" for the rest of us. This the part where our overlords try to scare us into keeping our mouths shut....Kudos to Brandon and anyone else who has the integrity and courage to speak out !!

Tim I was wondering why you have not been covering the latest barbarism by the Muslim Brotherhood? "Arab Spring run amok: 'Brotherhood' starts crucifixions. Opponents of Egypt's Muslim president executed 'naked on trees.' The Arab Spring takeover of Egypt by the Muslim Brotherhood has run amok, with reports from several different media agencies that the radical Muslims have begun crucifying opponents of newly installed President Mohammed Morsi...snip...“So, the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood haven’t the option to not include crucifixion within their legal code. It’s obligatory to comply with Shariah. And yes, it’s for shock value also to be sure,” Lopez said. Lopez includes a warning for Egypt’s Christians and compares the coming treatment of the Christians to the Jews in Germany. “The Copts must get out of Egypt as soon as possible – for the many millions who will not be able to get out, I expect things will continue to deteriorate – just as they did for Germany’s and Europe’s Jews from the 1930s onward,” Lopez said." http://www.wnd.com/2012/08/arab-spring-run-amok-brotherhood- starts-crucifixions/

Everyone in this country has an absolute right to remain silent. Apparently the authorities went to Brandon's home, based on merely a tip, to question him. They did not have a warrant for his arrest. If they did, Brandon would be in Federal custody pending arraignment. Something happened during questioning and the local police arrested him. Brandon made a huge mistake. He should have remained absolutely silent and not answered any questions. Please listen to this lecture by James Duane, a law professor and a former defense attorney... http://www.volokh.com/2011/09/30/prof-duane-dont-talk-to-the-cops/

Again evidence that Obama wants to destroy the Military. Freedom of speech does not excist anymore. The whole Government is being taken over by anti American scum. They rape this Country and the American people every day. This is the thank you for our troops who give everything for this Country. And what does our criminal Government do - arrest them and kill them every day in Afghanistan. It's disgusting. And here we have real terrorists running the streets and they are being protected by our criminal Government. God help us if Obama is able to steals the election.

From my own experiece,I know, that freedom of speech and freedom of press, is but a dream of past. I was "convicted" of telling the truth, and an article I did not write, but contibuted to in an interview. I was convicted by a jury who ignored the truth and "suggested" to ignore the documented evidence, hoping to quietly shut me up without much fanfare. I am continuously being harassed and exposed to threats of further action being taken against me, More power to those, who are not afraid to speak out.

All Western countries are regulated! , even agencies Typo: that are far more secretive and professional than the glorified police agency called the FEDS. Agencies like MI6 , CIA , DGSE, BND …the list just goes on and on.

Are you f*cking kidding me!!! . I have seen a lot worse being spoken out on Facebook. But then again a new law has taken effect on twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and Skype?! . Britain and the United States have pushed out new laws recently , taking advantage of the gaping legal loop holes that are already in effect with previous anti (yawn) terrorists laws.
It seems like the United States is becoming more like "Mother Russia" in the good old days of the cold war! . A country (the US) fought hard against, in the name of "freedom “ … now America ends up becoming it’s own worst enemy!
No wonder Russia is giving the "bird" to America when it comes to political demands recently. The sad thing is ...most Westernized countries are now following on Americas footsteps. Soon there will be very little of what we call "freedom" left.
I can just see all of us huddled up in countries that were once the biggest enemies of the Western world... just so we can get a taste of what freedom really felt like before all this crap got out of control.
Tim, stop sticking up for the Feds like you normally do. Expose them on just how out of control they truly are. An unregulated agency that is spiraling out of control. Thriving on coercive bullying, with a little bit of entrapment thrown in there for good measures . All Western countries are regulated! , even agencies that are far more secretive and professional that the glorified police agency called the FEDS . MI6 , CIA , DGSE, BND …the lost just goes on and on.
It’s a known fact all these agencies have a deep hatred of the F.B.I due to the feds robust ( I own your ass ) attitude .
Don’t believe me ? I dare you to ask anyone in those agencies what they think of the FEDS .

"Occupy Marines"...so just how many in comparison to other Marines who rebuke them? Power! What power? Delusional! Let it play out King, for as usual you have no idea...
Words of contempt and jealousy really smell up the place, you know?

Love the article Tim!!
Great writing as always and as usual, always taking the courageous stand for justice.
I am looking forward to more articles of quality and interesting topics.
Let's hope we can give Brandon a chance against rough odds in defending his constitutional rights.
Thanks tim
Tim King: Thank you my Brother, I appreciate you letting me know this was going on, the world is so small these days, thank you!
