FEDS RAID TEXAS POLITICAL MEETING

Fingerprint, photograph all attendees, seize phones

Published: 22 hours ago

In a deliberate “show of force,” federal and local police forces raided a political meeting in Texas, fingerprinting and photographing all attendees as well as confiscating all cell phones and personal recording devices.

 

Members of the Republic of Texas, a secession movement dedicated to restoring Texas as an independent constitutional republic, had gathered Feb. 14 in a Bryan, Texas, meeting hall along with public onlookers. They were debating issues of currency, international relations and celebrating the birthday of one of their oldest members. The group, which describes itself as “congenial and unimposing,” maintains a small working government, including official currency, congress and courts.

 

According to MySanAntonio.com:

The oligarchy is hostile to ALL competition . . . even from God Almighty . . . particularly from God Almighty.

 

Though Texans may confabulate whether they are Almighty, or not . . . the oligarchy will still view them as annoying fleas to squash.

All-American terrorists

On Valentine's Day 2015, some 20 "armed and armored" officers from six different local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies descended upon a group of 60 citizens who were meeting in Bryan, Texas, to conduct business as the Republic of Texas. The group, which claims sovereignty and is planning to appeal to an international court (they haven't yet decided which one), has its own government and currency.

 

Disturbed by the foreclosure of a member's home, the group sent a summons to a Kerr County judge and to a bank employee. Those summonses were apparently the last straw piled on a bale of "simulated documents" with which the group has flooded the local courts, and prompted the law enforcement officials to act.

It is not often that Bryan Police Department, the Brazos County Sheriff's Office, the Kerr County Sheriff's Office, agents of the Texas district attorney, the Texas Rangers, and the FBI combine to serve a search warrant for suspicion of a misdemeanor crime. But, according to theHouston Chronicle, Kerr County sheriff Rusty Hierholzer indicated ...

 

... that he had worries that some extremists in the group could become violent, citing a1997 incident when 300 state troopers surrounded an armed Republic leader for a weeklong standoff.
