Operation Vigilant Eagle Targets U.S. Veterans
Veterans are and have been massively targeted for harassment and "indirect extermination" by the U.S. Government. Remember that the next time you are tapped to sign up for a Fake War against an Invented Enemy
Obama?s war on our fundamental rights is devastating. The enemedia performs like state-run media and covers for this incredible rout. It is shocking. And in all of these grotesque anti-American maneuvers, Obama and his thugs are always using Orwellian language. ?Operation Vigilant Eagle? criminalizes free speech and targets our nation?s best ? our vets.
Veterans are being singled out and arrested and labelled as mentally sick for criticizing Obama. Obama created this to stop criticism of him and his administration.
Despite the fact that the U.S. boasts more than 23 million veterans who have served in World War II through Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan, the plight of veterans today, while often overlooked, is common knowledge: impoverished, unemployed, lacking any decent health benefits, homeless, traumatized mentally and physically, struggling with depression, thoughts of suicide, marital stress.
Making matters worse, thanks to Operation Vigilant Eagle, a program launched by the Department of Homeland Security in 2009, military veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are also being characterized as extremists and potential domestic terrorist threats because they may be ?disgruntled, disillusioned or suffering from the psychological effects of war.? As a result, these servicemen and women?many of whom are decorated?are finding themselves under surveillance, threatened with incarceration or involuntary commitment, or arrested, all for daring to voice their concerns about the alarming state of our union and the erosion of our freedoms.
?Case exposes government system that is targeting military veterans?
It happens in China routinely. It frequently happened in the old Soviet Union. Undoubtedly in North Korea, although generally there?s no one around to witness it. But in the United States? It happens here, too, apparently.
A lawsuit has been filed by officials with the Rutherford Institute on behalf of a Marine who was jailed and held for the comments he made on Facebook ? comments that expressed a dissatisfaction with the present direction of the U.S. government.
According to officials at Rutherford, the civil rights action names as defendants members of law enforcement and the government who were involved in last year?s episode where Marine veteran Brandon Raub, 27, was arrested by a swarm of FBI and Secret Service and forcibly detained in a psychiatric ward for a week.
His crime was posting controversial song lyrics and political views on Facebook, the institute reported.
In one of his postings, he cited the evil in 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,? he wrote.
He was released later when a judge stepped in and concluded the prosecution?s case against Raub was ?so devoid of any factual allegations that it could not be reasonably expected to gi
