Elian
Fascism In America
The Days of Rage

During the Clinton years, we've had a heretofore unknown opportunity to see the political left in its truest set of clothing. We've had a president who is a shameless and barefaced liar, who gives lip service to the 'rule of law' and then turns around and ignores those very laws. He is willing to, and has, attacked foreign nations to serve his political agenda. He is a murderer who has killed in our names - Americans. He has sold us and our secrets out to our enemies while increasing the duty and burden on the military by 300% without replenishing the resources and budgets used in those military missions making our enemies stronger whilst weakening our own forces.
It is a national shame that many of our military personnel must be on food stamps because the government will not pay them a living wage.

Just when we think we've seen the limits of what the left can do and we wait patiently for that day in January when he's to leave office, Clinton hits us with another one, Elian. Not content to attempt to nationalize the health care industry, the tobacco industry, the gun industry and Microsoft, Der Fuerher Klinton and Oberfuerher Reno have set their sights on one little boy, bringing the might of the greatest government on the planet down onto the back of a six year old child.
 
 


Elian At Gunpoint








While federal storm troopers kicked in the doors of a private residence without benefit of a warrant duly issued by a court (of law), the fourth and fourteenth amendments to the United States Constitution were summarily dismissed by Klinton and his party of fascists. This is the very same group who have, for years, attempted to convince us the second amendment (the right to bear arms) is not in the national interest.

"Give us the fucking kid or we'll shoot you" a female agent yelled as they brandished machine guns at the family they were intent on terrorizing. One news service cameraman was hit across the head with a gun butt rendering him unconscious. Fortunately, there was a second cameraman who did get the infamous shot.
 
 


Into Gentle Fascist Hands
This Is The Village?







In typical fashion, the government pulled their 'law enforcement action' on an off news day coming like thieves in the night.

Photos You Haven't Seen on the News

Klinton was not elected, either time, by a majority of the population. We were told, 'integrity didn't matter'.
Lock step syncopates in the left who have divorced themselves of any ability to engage in original thought joined a chorus of 'sex doesn't matter' while looking the other way to the perjuries, violations of campaign finance laws and murder committed overseas by Der Fuerher. The saying of "Give me Liberty of Give me Death" was replaced by "Give me Bill and pay me off" as taxation against the working classes was increased to pay for those who won't work but will vote the liberal ticket.

The arrogance of the ruling fascists in the Executive Branch of government has already gone past a defiance and disrespect for the the court systems, the place most Americans think justice resides. Is it little wonder that many states have serious separatist movements calling for a withdrawal from the United States.

You thought Ruby Ridge and Waco were isolated incidents. Now you know that the state owns your child and they can stick a machine gun in your face anytime they  want to. Due process? Not in a fascist state.

People, you brought this government on yourself. You traded your faith in the Almighty, under whom this country was founded, for the empty rhetoric of an arrogant bunch of fascists spouting socialistic jingoisms. You allowed yourself to be bought and then they sold you out. You allowed them to convince you they were better suited to raise your kids and they gave them condoms instead of morals. You turned your eyes and gave a deaf ear to those who tried to warn you - calling them right wing fanatics or religious nuts. You accused them of conspiracies while you willing went blind to the very conspiracy you willfully and knowingly elected and allowed to be perpetrated 'in the name of compassion'.

The TRUTH is now in your face. What are you going to do about it? These are the Days of Rage.
 
 
 

April 25, 2000 Update:

Oberfuerher Reno states she obtained a 'search warrant' as her pretext for abducting Elian. A Search Warrant is for a 'thing', an arrest warrant is for a person AND only one who is established as a probable criminal. Elian is still being held incommunicado in the company of Greg Craig, Der Fuerher's attorney, and mind washing 'psychologists'.

INS officers are standing by the minivans that the INS arrived at the scene in, and shouting to other officers while projectiles
are coming at them from protestors.

When you see the footage of the van with Elian inside being driven away, you will notice that the driver is wearing a bandanna
to obscure his/her face. God only knows why.

Mark my words, kat -- the sticking point will be revealed to be some measure that would have made it necessary for Juan
Miguel to meet Elian in an area out of the prying eyes of the Cuban ministry in D.C.

I just happened to be flipping the dial and came across Roseanne's bizarre glorified cable-access show, which is shown early
morning on KPIX, a CBS-owned station. I was trying to figure out what the heck temporary tattoo she had on her forehead
when the bulletin about Elian came on.

Now, the bulletin is over, and Roseanne's back on. I flipped the channel, and on another station is -- believe it or not -- "Mr.
Smith Goes To Washington", with James Stewart.

Grabbing a terrorized little boy out of his bed in the middle of the night to ferry him to his communist captors, yelling at the
people he loves, "Give us the boy or we'll shoot you"...

This is Comrade Reno's idea of protecting a child from "abuse."

Is there any doubt that, in the long, long line of despicable acts by this utterly despicable administration, that this is, in some
ways, the most despicable act of all?

Many times over the last seven long years I've stopped and wondered, "Can the Clintonites possibly get any worse?" Again
and again and again and again, they've answered that question in the affirmative. I shudder to ask it again.

It's time to pray. And keep praying. For our country.

It happened because people let it. After weeks of hysteria and tough-talk, when push came to shove, nobody had the will to

As far as many are seeming to be concerned, the first shot in the 'revolution' has likely been fired...war on the Republic (with a
piece of stih communist-who*e stinking up a crapper at the WH) was declared long ago (Xlinton was merely the 'cherry' on the
cake of 'progressive-pornocrat-socialists(=communists) - and maybe the recoil is coming...

One man says, "we will remember this for Al Gore, Dont vote for Al Gore!"

Another says, "I was born in Cuba, I know what they will do to him in Cuba… he's going back to the Cuban interest section,
they will begin to program him there…

 Elian taken from his Miami home by the federales in an early

 agents stormed the house. Elian was whisked away from a closet
 where he was in hiding. 20 to 40 armed federal agents were used in
 the raid. No reports of injuries. At least one woman was seen being
 taken away in an ambulance. It is assumed that Elian is now on his

If a single American had been there with a "musket" in hand, that would have given Reno's fascist stormtroopers the green light
to open fire on the crowd.

If there is not a riot, and they do not burn Miami to hell, then this will not carry the news for even a day. On the other hand, if
hell does break loose, and there are deaths, the media will in lockstep blame "right-wing-extremist" Cuban-American's for the
carnage.

If you're going to start a war, you don't do it as a "single American" with a "musket" in hand. You do en-mass, with a million
Americans, and you march on Washington peacefully, close this nation down, and wake up the sheeple to the fact that their
liberty is at stake. If that fails, then the Constitution is indeed toilet paper, and it's time to use the guns.

One man with a gun is a terrorist. A million Americans with or without guns are an Army that cannot be denied.

Keep a picture of "that woman" kidnapping that child! I hope everyone remembers her face and will never let her forget that
she just sold her soul to Bill Clinton and Fidel Castro. What a whore!

Jack Thompson is on the telephone talking to Fox. He said Janet Reno doesn't care about little children, she doesn't have any
of her own. This is trauma, he said. Reno has caused riots in Miami before and she doesn't care. She had an agenda beyond
the safety of this child.

MSNBC just interviewed Sanchez. He said this is like Castro and it is like Reno's tactics. He mentioned Waco, "She's had
experience like this before in Waco."

He said they have asked for a work stoppage to show their feelings and that they will let the people show their emotions but not
violence.

"Violence only helps the evil that came in here."

Fox had pictures of a woman carrying a crying and screaming Elian. She had him in her arms running to a van. He was
wrapped in a blanket in his T-shirt. He was obviously distraught and calling out. She was rushed into a van and the
sliding-tinted door slammed shut. Then the van backed away down the street.

MSNBC showed agents swarming up to the house about 5 AM. They said they knocked and when there was no answer they
"went in." They show about 8 agents rush in the house while the rest stayed outside and fired tear-gas. The crowd was small
and obviously caught off guard. But it is growing now. The community has kept it under contol, even with some who want to
fight. They have stopped and held people back from giving the media photo-ops.

Fox is reporting Elian is being taken to the airport (maybe Opalaka) and will be taken to Washington to be "reunited" with his
father.

The Miami Community is extremely upset. Some overwrought. Mostly in tears.

The Fox reporter, Rita Cosby has been doing a talk-over. There seem to be few reporters in Miami, mostly camera men. She
said they got word about 30 min before there was something going down. Then 15 minutes it was a good bet. And then the
barricades came down and the agents in full riot gear came in with white vans.

She said everyone was under the impression that there was progress in an agreement and were being told they were close to a
deal. She said they didn't think that they would move in on Easter especially since they seemed to be close to an agreement.
But then they moved in and took him.

Rita Cosby is saying many in Wash will not be happy about this.

I think we should call and send another round of letters, FAX's and E-mails. They think they can just do it and now it is over.
What consequences does the Clinton Administration ever pay for their illegal actions?

Foxnews reporting just now that elian will arrive at some Wash airport (national?) around 9 am to be
reunited w/father. SCUZ cowardly father, Joan Campbell, all those who "care" in Washington reno, don't
even make a closer destination to make for a short trip for elian. HOURS from now -- HOURS from
now, reunited. what til then?and what will happen after, when Cuban diplomatic soil may be reached? another "oops" for
reno et al?

Fisherman who saved Elian and was in the house when they hit:: "They were on the phone with Reno… they came in with
guns… the boy was screaming… they threw a blanket over the boy, while the family watched with guns on them… what the
Clinton did here is like Tiennamen Square… what they did tonight was criminal… it's heartbreaking… I love America, but Bill

Fox doesn't seem to be editing it so far. They just spoke with Dalrimple (sp?) and he said that they were pointing guns at them
and said "Give us the boy or we'll shoot you." I'm recording it anyway just in the event they do start changing things. Should
have thought of that the moment they kicked the door in, but hadn't had enough coffee to have my brain in gear, plus I was so
saddened to see Elian screaming as he was being dragged out and put into the van.

Apparently, when the INS and Border Patrol vans arrived in the neighborhood, the Miami police withdrew from the area and
remained absent. Fox News and CNN both had camera crews on scene, but didn't see it coming. "Noticed" after the fact, "the
barricades were being removed", but thought it was Miami PD doing something routine.

The strike was so quick, cameras didn't go on (from what I can tell) until the entry team was coming OUT with the boy.

An interesting note that may or may not have affected the decision to go on this was the arrival of Jesse Jackson. Fox News
said he was trying to become "the mediator" between the two sides.

I have just seen one of the fishermen who rescued Elian and the other survivors scream into a camera that he loves America,
and would never burn the flag, but that what Bill Clinton and Reno had done was wrong because the family had gone through
the judicial system and were still treated unfairly.

"If a single American had been there with a "musket" in hand, that would have given Reno's fascist stormtroopers the green light
to open fire on the crowd."

Unfortunately, I don't think anything less will get America off its sofas.

"If there is not a riot, and they do not burn Miami to hell, then this will not carry the news for even a day."

Yup.

"On the other hand, if hell does break loose, and there are deaths, the media will in lockstep blame "right-wing-extremist"
Cuban-American's for the carnage.

The very first thing that must happen is that those who would restore the Constitution must seize the communications media.

"If you're going to start a war, you don't do it as a "single American" with a "musket" in hand."

I am aware of that. Please don't be Forrest Gump literal. "Not a single" does not mean that you wanted a single, but that not
even one of the hoped-for multitudes materialized.

"You do en-mass, with a million Americans, and you march on Washington peacefully, close this nation down, and wake up the
sheeple to the fact that their liberty is at stake."

Sorry, but things are far past the point at which that could be effective. As you point out above, unless the marchers seize the
comms media, it will get spun into nonsense. Seizing and holding the comms media will require arms.

"If that fails, then the Constitution is indeed toilet paper, and it's time to use the guns."

You yourself immediately perceived that it must fail because the comms media will propagandize the sheeple into compliance.

"One man with a gun is a terrorist."

To the Xlintonoid comms media, yes.

"A million Americans with or without guns are an Army that cannot be denied."

A million Americans without guns are just a million occupants for body bags or Gulags.

He'll remember it, alright. It will be the central feature of his reconditioning, like when in Cuba, the teacher asks the children to
pray for God to give them candy, but when they open their eyes, there is none. They then tell the children, to pray to Castro for
candy, and when they open their eyes there is candy. In this case they will say, see? America cannot help you. We took you
like a ripened plum. America betrayed you. They are cowards. No matter where you go, Castro will always watch you. You
must be loyal, and obedient. Castro can find you anywhere on earth.

Pay attention to what Mayor Joe Carollo says.

He is saying some of things we have. That the boy was snatched by atheists and that the Cuban Interests Section never waived
diplomatic immunity for their building where Juan Miguel is staying.

The family was on the telephone with Wash DC trying to reach an agreement with Reno et, al. when the raid was made. The
negotiations were obviously a bleeping ruse.

Anyone want to take odds on whether Al Gore takes Florida next November. I mean, after all, he DID state his diagreement
with the Clinton/Reno policy towards sending this boy back to Castro's gulags.

Give him a break, Gore had nothing to do with this. I'll bet we see a new's conference tomorrow of Gore with a tear welling up
in his eye, saying how unfortunate this all was, but then saying he's seen this little boy united with his father, and now Gore sees
how "correct" this decision was.....

So, now, who will make book on Florida for Gore in November?? (My kids need a college fund; I'll make a killing on this

Rita Cosby said they had been told when Janet Reno came into work at 5 AM that she would be giving a news conf. So they
waited and waited and then they got word they had moved on the house to take Elian.

Donoto Darymple was in the house. He just spoke on camera saying they were sleeping and he heard Elain screaming and he
ran to his room and there was all kinds of commotion and the agents had their guns drawn.

Jack Thompson just said to Rita that Janet Reno had the court order, that handed her her head, and that she has ignored it. He
said no Democrat will win any federal elected office in Fla for the next 30 years. He suggested this will be true too, in part, in
Texas and other states where this will be remembered.

I found it appalling yesterday when they kept reporting that Juan Miguel told Janet Reno that she must "keep her promise.
Now I would like to know, what gives her the right to GIVE and KEEP HER PROMISE to a Communist dictator and defy
American rule of law?

I guess that if they do elect to go to court (highly doubtful) by that time the Cuban thugs in the Cuban embassy will have
'treated' him enough so that he can tell the judge how he wants to go back to his reeducation school and away from this horrible
country.

Perhaps suitable revenge would be to lay into all those people (Like you Governor Ryan of Illinois) and ensure that Clinton and
his buttkissers never get to normalize relations with Cuba. Anything to destroy Clinton's legacy. And as for the media, time to

Fox reporting "unnamed officials" said they gave Elian a physical at the airport and that a flight surgeon is on the plane with Elian
along with the woman who ran out of the house with him.

They say he has been given play-dough and a map and they are explaining things to him.

Fox said Janet Reno may be giving a statement at the top of the hour.

NBC: Family agreed to live together with father and child in a nuetral location. Father agreed but only for a limited time.
Negotiations went on, DOJ says "no movement" and that while the "phone lines were still on" (what Clintonspeak) negotiations
were not hopeful and they went in.

The Japanese in WWII had nothing on these guys.

At the same time, HOW STOOPID the Miami-area Cuban-Americans were for falling asleep at the wheel. Reno all but gave
them notice that Elian was about to be seized, and from what I read, there were less than 300 people around the Gonzales
home when this raid occured, and NO ONE was bearing arms.

Duh.

The people who have taken Elian now, have not one iota regard for him or his liberty. Elian is a pawn in their globalist game ...
a game that is very similar to the type of games Fidel Castro plays, that Stalin played and that the maoists in China play. Elian's
father is also a pawn in that game and his rights, his family, his desires mean NOTHING. The game is to deny liberty ... at any
and every chance they get. Ultimately, they intend to do it at the point of a gun, as today's events so aptly demonstrate.

The Cuban-Americans, although there can be no doubt that they have an agenda against Fidel and the marxism in their
homeland, are at least on the right side of the liberty issue in this and what ultimately is in the best interest of that boy.

For those who are blinded by a false arguement of "parental rights" (false because there are no parental rights in Cuba for Juan,
he's doing EXACTLY as told ... Castro is the father), and for all those who would side with these tyrants .... mark well your
decision. The picture of little Elian being taken at gunpoint, the picture of the peaceful Cuban-Americans on the ground with
guns to their heads as they peacefully kept vigil ... all of this is a spectre that your attitiudes are inviting on America and will one
day (perhaps soon) lead to far worse ... and when it comes, it will engulf us all. To all such, I say, "Let the chains rest lightly".

I hate to say "I told you so", and some other Freepers might say so, too, but I precisely said two days ago that they would pull
a "PEARL HARBOR", a classic Sun Tzu tactic, i.e. they would negotiate on the one hand and on the other hand plan and
execute a lightning attack. And by golly, they did it. No surprise.

Folks, you woke up today over there in America to find we are in fact under a state of FASCISM, under State Police control

An IMPEACHED US PRESIDENT and his spokesman appeals to the adherence to the Constitution and the "Rule of Law"

Apology of African American Republican Nominee Candidate Carl McGill of 35th Congressional District To Cuban
Americans

(Inglewood, CA)---The assault on the home of Elian Gonzalez' great-uncle, Lazaro Gonzalez in Miami, was deplorable,
immoral, and unethical. This incident is equivalent to the Waco and Ruby Ridge incidents. Taking Elian from his family, crying
and screaming, was inhumane. As a resident of the 35th Congressional District, I apologize for the actions of my
Congresswoman, Maxine Waters, for her participation in the assault of the Gonzalez home and what it has done to the patriotic
confidence of Cuban Americans.

As a member of the United States Congress, Congresswoman Waters violated her oath to the American people by betraying
her Cuban American constituents, and acting as an agent of Fidel Castro. Moreover, she did not have a constituent interest in
the Eilan Gonzalez matter.

As an African American, Carl McGill, the Republican Nominee Candidate of the 35th Congressional District, gives his heart
and love to Elian Gonzalez and the Lazaro Gonzalez family and Little Havana. They and Cuban Americans fled Fidel Castro's
oppressive regime. Therefore, it is unfortunate that Congresswoman Waters and the Clinton Administration allowed American
law enforcement resources to act as agents of Dictator Fidel Casto. Today, for Cuban Americans, the United States of
American has become the United States of Cuba. For Castro is the winner of the Elian Gonzalez matter, and not Americans.
"Today I am ashamed to be an American, for the Clinton Administration's assault on the Lazaro Gonzalez family home," says
Carl McGill, "I and free Cubans will never forget this shameful day in American history."

We tried to be a peaceful society, but it seems that our beloved federal government wishes only a police state where they will
use whatever force they desire for whatever political purpose they desire.

How can we participate in a peaceful society to make the changes we all desire when the federal government uses force to
have their way?

We cannot peacefully make changes when the State governments also stand by idle and allow such "mean-spirited" actions by
the federal government. The State of Florida, the Governor, Jeb Bush, the brother of George W. Bush, did nothing but allow
such actions.  He and the mayor of Miami should have stood in the way of the feds, but they can't because their funding comes
from the  feds using our money plundered through taxes.

HEY JANET WACO! How come there are thousands of children in America from other countries and thousands of American
children in other countries with one parent seeking custody, but you take no aggressive actions to get solve those problems???
Can we all say POLITICAL TYRANT, the long arm of Clinton law!

We MUST stop the tyranny NOW!  Just because such acts have not come to your doorstep doesn't mean that they won't.
Try going against such dictators and watch how fast YOU become the target!

We live in a police State when our actions are controlled by the thought that we might come under attack by these Amy Ranger
wannabees with their automatic weapons, full body armor, and the silly looking black ninja outfits!

Do you really believe that if you became a political target, which is easier than you might think, that these aggressors wouldn't
come to your door?  It happens in America daily.

The President of the United States and his Administration are OUT OF CONTROL!

Our Congress is unable and unwilling to react!

Our Attorney General is a culprit!

Our States are helpless through the extortion of the feds withholding money for cooperation!

Our  military is ordered to perform acts against humanity, acts against the American people, and acts of war against other
nations without the approval of Congress as required by the Constitution!

Our local, State, and federal "law enforcement" officials are all bought with federal money to buy them guns, ammo, and
expensive training with OUR MONEY  through the plundering of OUR EARNINGS!  Local police get money from the feds to
attend such training as sniper, forced entry, and "Close Quarters Combat"! Sounds like a "We are here to help you!" kind of
organization, doesn't it?!  Few police turn down such fun and exciting training and "toys", and few would do anything to
jeopardize the money coming in from the feds.

WE MUST STOP THIS NONSENSE AT ANY AND ALL COST!

Remember the reason for the season! The government came to the garden prayer meeting in the night to take away Jesus for
the crucifixion just like they came for Elian. They also came to Mt Carmel on Sunday Morning, as well. May we have a
resurrection of true American revival after this "BLACK SATURDAY!"

Hubby is hanging out the flag at half-mast. We seriously thought of upside-down as was in the crowd, but then we'd probably

Castro should be referred to as Castrato from now on.

Oh goody, more Reno nonsense on the tube. I saw a good sign in the crowd "send Chelsea to Castro."

One hundred 21 ins criminals used a ram break into the house. They surrounded the house and came in through the back and
rammed their way thru the front door. They broke down doors closets anythging in their way to find the kid who was in
donatos arms screaming que pasa, que pasa, help me help me. A crap ins tore him from donatos arms, a lady put a blanke over
his head and they rushed hin out of the house. Litteraly trashed the house. They made everyone in the house lie down with guns
to their heads including a 5 year old being held by his mother in same room elian was being threatened with gun. Or they were
maced inside and outside of the house. Everyone was and is in shock. Armando Gutierrez heard of the scum coming and tried
to get the cubans to rally but they were caught so unaware they could do nothing by the time they could react, ins was macing
them away. The child was taken screaming and kicking by a woman from ins and put in a van. A miami police chief was in the
van that took elian, ostensively so that police officers at the scene would recognize that the sting was good. Whole operation
took little over 3 minutes. There were 30 to 40 cubans behind the barracades they were caught unawares and were pepper
sprayed or maced by the INS to keep them at bay while shit ins rammed their way into the house. The media was also kept
behing barracades and maced.

Looking at that picture, I had an absolutely horrific thought in my mind, and it's been bugging me since I saw it 4 hours ago.

How many of you have seen "Schindler's List"? Or maybe "The Diary of Anne Frank"? Does this not look like something from
those movies?

Santayana was right: "Those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it!"

"Those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it!"

Last week Microsoft, this week a six-year-old boy and all in the name of the law.

They say Elian "does not have a well grounded fear of persecution".....so he can not apply for asylum.

He will have a well grounded fear now, fear of the U.S. agents who broke down his bedroom door in the dead of night and
took him at gunpoint.

I watched all of this on TV this morning.

First, I dislike clinton probably more than many of you, BUT. This is his father, communist or not.

Second, I thought the court ruled Elian should be reunited with his father in the US while we await a decision.

Third, if lazaro was supposed to hand Elian over and didn't isn't that like kidnapping?

Fourth, what would you do if someone like your great uncle or distant cousin had your child in the US and they were supposed
to hand them over to you? Personally, I would want all the firepower I could get to take my son back. As much as I hate to say
it, the boy should be with his father. It just so happens he is a communist. Unfortunately this did give clinton a reason to side
with castro and his thugs.

The more I read here the more suprised I am. You all talk about the problem with the force used. What do you expect, lazaro
and the whole clan down there kept telling everyone that INS would have to use force to get Elian. Many of you sound like
those touchy feely liberals, always talking about the problem with to much force. Give me a break. Did you want them to
announce they were coming?? I think lazaro has had many many opportunities, they just kept changing their damands. This was
to be difficult I believe. I don't think all that damage was done by INS agents. Some of it looks a little set up to me. Many of
you here talk of family, etc, but Elians father was here, and Elian was not allowed to see him. THIS IS ELIANS DAD, now put
yourself in his place. Wouldn't you want you son back? I think you would. And I think you would even ask clinton to help if it
meant you got your child back.

Commie-stormtroop-bastards... on Good Friday, they showed their true stripes.

It's HOLY SATURDAY, not Good Friday. That's just as bad, if not worse. Lord have mercy upon us here in America!

This looks a lot like the raid in Bosnia a few weeks ago, when NATO storm troopers siezed the Bosnian Serb "war crime"
suspect from his parent's home, in his pajamas, hog-tied him, and shipped him off to Albright's kangaroo court in The Hague.
The man they treated that way had been a negotiator for the Bosnian Serbs during the the Dayton Accords. The rat Holbrooke,
who had sat across the the negotiating table form this man, gloated to the press about the arrest. To make matters worse, the
"suspect" had been seized after a SECRET "indictment".

Holbrooke and the whole rest of the clinton gang are treasonous double-dealers with not a speck of honor among the whole lot
of them. And now clinton has brought the same storm-trooper tactics HOME to the USA! They used the SAME
storm-trooper/police state methods in dealing with the anti-IMF protesters in DC earlier this past week, too!

I have deliberately kept from following the whole Elian story, or commenting on it before this time--I think that it is the "circus
of the year", like OJ or Monica. But whatever the legal, family, and other considerations that go into deciding the case,
"deciding" it by STORM TROOPER tactics is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!! And the use of these tactics by our
government seems to be increasing lately.

Yes and the police have already turned on us. The Federal Police, ATF, INS and all have sold their souls to the devil for
money and POWER.

The military is training them and they are training the military, in THIS country, on urban control. The writing is on the wall, but
so many can not read it as that kind of knowledge was removed from the government run schools long ago.

May God help us all!!!

They took him at 5:15 after talks had broken down.

Not according to the family's lawyer. They hed just faxed back the agreement agreeing to the regime's conditions for a meeting.
Klintoon and Reno couldn't have a peaceful resolutinn, so they had to go in after the family agreed to the conditions.

They're probably disappointed that there hasn't been bloodshed. It's OK, though. I'm sure they can create some.

This raid is illegal. Lazaro and the family have broken no law. There is apparently no search warrant, or they would have
produced it by now. Even if there was, it's illegal to serve it in the middle of the night.

They came in with gas masks on and their guns drawn, pointed the gun at Elian (which they denied, as if the photo wasn't proof
enough), gassed the demonstrators with tear gas, and according to NewsMax (www.newsmax.com), pointed guns at the
demonstrators' heads and said "Give us the kid or we will kill you."

Then they dragged the kid out kicking and screaming and threw him into a van, loaded him into a plane, and secretively flew
him to Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, where they are holding him and the family. They said he was "happily"
playing with Pla-Do on the plane and they released a picture taken by the evil Greg Craig showing the whole family smiling
together. I wonder how much Ritalin they have pumped into the kid.

The media cannot see the family and they are all being kept there for "at least a couple of days." Isn't this kid supposed to be in
school?

These are the tactics of totalitarian police states. They proved this morning what many of us have said about them for 8 years:
Stalin=Hitler=Castro=Klintoon. The President of the United States is an anti-American, Marxist totalitarian. If you disagree
with them, they will destroy you. Remember that Stephanopoulos, in All Too Human, quoted this President as saying "I
believe that you kill people who get in your way."

It is clear that Klintoon does not care about liberty, nor does he have any compassion for little children.

This makes it even more important that Elian must stay in the United States. We must beat these totalitarians before all liberty in
this country is gone.

And these were the people who were so concerned for Elian's psychological well being.

These are liberals. That means that by definition they are not concerned about anyone's well-being but their own. Liberal
"compassion" is a lie. The next liberal you meet who cares about anything but more money, power, and sex for himself will be
the first.
