The BATF
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The following taken from The Course: The Journal of the Second American
|
|
Revolution. I encourage you to read it. If you need a copy or need
|
|
to know where you can get it, mail me.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Heavy-handed raids and abuses against law-abiding citizens, harassment of
|
|
gun dealers, and the illegal computerization of out-of-business FFL dealer
|
|
records are hallmarks of this rogue federal agency.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ask Harry and Theresa Lumplugh. This past Summer, 15 to 20 armed men
|
|
burst into their rural Pennsylvania home. The family cooperates -- opening
|
|
safes, handing over papers -- but cooperation doesn't ease the intruders'
|
|
wrath. One holds a submachine gun in their faces. Another utters a racial
|
|
slur. One empties vial after vial of cancer medicine and crushes it on the
|
|
bathroom floor. Another stomps a pet cat to death.
|
|
|
|
Who are these intruders?
|
|
|
|
Ask 21-year old Monique Montgomery. Four masked men break into her
|
|
bedroom at four in the morning. The glaring lights and the timing of the
|
|
hit are meant to maximize Monique's disorientation as she wakes from a deep
|
|
sleep. And wake she does, pulling a gun for self-defense, but the
|
|
intruders already have their guns drawn and let her have it -- four shots,
|
|
four direct hits.
|
|
|
|
Who are these intruders?
|
|
|
|
Ask Louie Katona II of Ohio -- successful businessman, civic leader,
|
|
part-time cop, family man, model American. One intruder pushes wife
|
|
Kimberly against a wall. Kimberly begins bleeding and later miscarries.
|
|
|
|
Who are these armed terrorists?
|
|
|
|
Not a gang of neighborhood toughs. They're agents of the Bureau of
|
|
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and the incidents described above are not
|
|
exceptions, but recent examples of the brute force of unchecked, renegade
|
|
federal power. Who are the victims? People who've broken no law, in homes
|
|
where nothing illegal is found.
|
|
|
|
The terror often comes at the hands of BATF agents clad in ninja
|
|
blacks, but the terror doesn't stop there. Even the desk jockeys in the
|
|
licensing part of the agency get in their licks.
|
|
|
|
Bend to BATF's politics -- or get broken.
|
|
|
|
BATF visits Randy Engelken, a gun-store owner in Seneca, Kansas, and
|
|
photocopies any transaction record involving the purchase of military-style
|
|
semi-automatic firearms. Why just those firearms? The agent comments on
|
|
Randy's political activism -- namely his vocal opposition to U.S. Rep. Jim
|
|
Slattery (defeated last fall). In a style that would make the KGB proud,
|
|
the BATF agent tells Randy: "If you don't lay off Congressman Slattery, you
|
|
wont have a firearms license."
|
|
|
|
Surrender your license -- or surrender your reputation.
|
|
|
|
BATF is committed to driving down the number of Federal Firearms
|
|
License (FFL) holders to drive down lawful gun ownership. And they'll do
|
|
it any way they can. A typical case: BATF raises the zoning issue by
|
|
contacting a Pennsylvania township directly, informing officials that a
|
|
resident with an FFL is conducting retail sales in the township. BATF also
|
|
speaks directly with a supplier to the dealer, suggesting that the dealer
|
|
was lying about being a federal agent. The agent also goes to the dealer's
|
|
supervisor, demeaning his reputation. In fact, no crime was committed by
|
|
the dealer -- who was and remains a special agent with the U.S. Department
|
|
of Justice Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) -- a law
|
|
enforcement professional with 25 years experience.
|
|
|
|
They ban whatever they can -- whenever they can.
|
|
|
|
Ignore the fine print in the '94 Clinton Gun Ban that some firearms are
|
|
"protected," because BATF ignores it. Forget the fact that the 1860 Henry
|
|
lever-action was listed as protected, because, for months, BATF banned it's
|
|
importation -- considering the cowboy rifle an "assault weapon."
|
|
|
|
And now they've got your name -- and your number!
|
|
|
|
On February 15, 1995, at a hearing of the House Appropriation
|
|
Subcommittee on Treasury, Postal Service and General Government, officials
|
|
of the Treasury Department and BATF admitted that all the records of
|
|
firearms transactions between U.S. citizens and out-of-business dealers are
|
|
being entered into a centralized registration system under the control of
|
|
BATF. Throughout history, registration has always been a precursor to
|
|
harassment, a stepping stone to gun confiscation. Recognizing this, the
|
|
U.S. Congress has spoken clearly and distinctly over the last three
|
|
decades: no money, no people and no administrative expenses can ever be
|
|
used to register firearms, firearms owners or firearm transactions.
|
|
Period.
|
|
|
|
But BATF is not listening. They're copying, collating and
|
|
computerizing (see Knox's Notebook, P14) -- while their agents in the field
|
|
are harassing, intimidating and hurting honest citizens.
|
|
|
|
It must stop -- and it can! Call your U.S. representative and U.S.
|
|
senators at (202)224-3121, and do it now. Tell them it's time to either
|
|
abolish this rogue agency -- or take immediate steps to (1) regain control,
|
|
(2) expose and prosecute government agents and officials guilty of civil
|
|
rights abuses and (3) institute strict policies and oversight to insure
|
|
that the Bill of Rights is honored, not condemned.

SINA BRUSH
|
|
Just after dawn on September 5, 1991 some sixty agents
|
|
from the DEA, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Alcohol,
|
|
Tobacco and Firearms (BATF), and National Guard, complete
|
|
with painted faces and camouflage and accompanied by another
|
|
twenty or more National Guard troops with a light armored
|
|
vehicle, raided the homes of Sina Brush and two of her
|
|
neighbors near Montainair, New Mexico. Brush and her
|
|
daughter were still asleep. Hearing noises outside, Ms.
|
|
Brush got up and was only halfway across the room, when the
|
|
door was kicked in by the agents. Clad only in their
|
|
underwear, Ms. Brush and her daughter were handcuffed and
|
|
forced to kneel in the middle of the room while the agents
|
|
searched the house. No drugs were found. Just as in the
|
|
Carlson case, the police had obtained a warrant using
|
|
information furnished by an unreliable informant and had
|
|
entered Brush's home without knocking first.
|
|
|
|
WACO
|
|
This most notorious case has stunned the sensibilities
|
|
of millions of Americans. According to The Wall Street
|
|
Journal, "...the BATF showed up at the Davidian compound
|
|
with two cattle trucks full of agents in battle gear and a
|
|
plan for 'dynamic entry'." The siege that followed the
|
|
initial assault included terrifying, psychological warfare
|
|
tactics and ended when a second attack, utilizing tanks and
|
|
gas, led to conflagration. "Weird cultists" (your words)?
|
|
Some of the adults, but certainly not the children.
|
|
|
|
For two years now, thousands of calls and letters of outrage
|
|
have been received by government, the media and yes, the
|
|
NRA. The cries of "thugs", "Nazi" and "storm trooper" came
|
|
first, not from the NRA, but from the minds and mouths of
|
|
Americans describing what they had seen on television.
|
|
|
|
RANDY WEAVER
|
|
This debacle at Ruby Ridge continues to fan a seething
|
|
backlash in the country. A fourteen year old boy was shot
|
|
in the back and killed. A mother was shot by a sniper in
|
|
the head and killed while holding a baby. A jury found BATF
|
|
guilty of entrapment and the defendant was acquitted. How
|
|
does it all add up to justifiable behavior by, once again,
|
|
black shrouded forces with armored personnel carriers,
|
|
helicopters and snipers all arrayed against a family in a
|
|
cabin? Hundreds of good people have told me that scene
|
|
reminds them of what this country once fought against and
|
|
should never stand for.

JANICE HART
|
|
PORTLAND, OREGON
|
|
FEBRUARY 1993
|
|
Janice Hart pulled up to her house from grocery
|
|
shopping with her daughters to find her house being
|
|
ransacked by ATF agents who had kicked in the door. Agents
|
|
searched her home, throwing dishes, pulling clothing from
|
|
hangers and emptying drawers on the floor (she photographed
|
|
the damage). Some eight ATF agents interrogated her in the
|
|
basement for an hour before reading her rights. She
|
|
asked to call an attorney and the agents refused. When they
|
|
finally asked her if she was Janice Marie Harrell, she told
|
|
them no, that she was Janice Hart. ATF agents mocked her,
|
|
accused her of selling firearms and cocaine, then arrested
|
|
her. The Portland Police, who she commended for their
|
|
professional demeanor, took her downtown for booking and,
|
|
within thirty seconds of fingerprinting her, realized ATF
|
|
had the wrong person.

LOUIS KATONA
|
|
BUCYRUS, OHIO
|
|
Louis Katona is a police officer in Bucyrus, Ohio.
|
|
When shouting and cursing BATF agents rushed into his home
|
|
to seize his firearms collection, they grabbed his pregnant
|
|
wife, Kim, and shoved her into a wall. Within days, she
|
|
suffered a miscarriage. A federal judge threw the
|
|
government's case out of court and ordered BATF to
|
|
immediately return Mr. Katona's guns or face jail
|
|
themselves. The Katonas are presently pressing civil
|
|
charges against BATF.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The above incidents are true. For more information, read The Course.

All of the following stories and much more can be found in the July, 1993,
|
|
issue of _The Freeman_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) In 1990 in California, dozens of legitimate agricultural supply
|
|
houses and mail order businesses were seized because the DEA claimed they
|
|
might have unwittingly sold supplies to marijuana growers. Both the
|
|
DEA and California courts considered the merchants' lack of control over
|
|
how their grow lights and fertilizer might be used to be irrelevant.
|
|
|
|
2) In December, 1988, Detroit police raided a grocery store to make a
|
|
drug arrest, but failed to find any drugs. After police dogs
|
|
reacted to three $1 bills in the cash register, the police seized the entire
|
|
contents of the cash register and a store safe totaling $4,384. No charge
|
|
was ever made.
|
|
|
|
3) In 1989, police stopped 49 year-old Ethel Hylton at the Houston
|
|
airport and told her she was under arrest because a drug dog had
|
|
scratched at her luggage. Agents searched her bags and strip-searched
|
|
her, but they found no drugs. They did find $39,110 in cash that she
|
|
had received from an insurance settlement and from her life savings.
|
|
Ethyl Hilton completely documented where she got the money and was
|
|
never charged with a crime. The police kept her money anyway. As
|
|
far as I know, she still hasn't gotten it back.
|
|
|
|
4) Willie Jones owned a small landscaping business in Nashville.
|
|
When he paid cash for an airline ticket, the ticket agent acted strangely.
|
|
Ten minutes later, drug agents stopped and searched him. They found
|
|
$9,600 in cash, which he was planning to use to buy plants for his business.
|
|
He explained that he paid in cash because that was the way the growers
|
|
wanted it. That didn't stop the agents from taking his money.
|
|
Willie Jones was never charged with any crime.
|
|
|
|
5) Dr. Jonathan Wright operated the Takoma Medical Clinic in Kent,
|
|
Washington. On May 6, 1992, two dozen armed FDA agents broke
|
|
down the door and held the 15-person staff, mostly women, at
|
|
gunpoint for 14 hours while they ransacked the clinic. The FDA
|
|
seized Dr. Wright's books, laboratory equipment, supplies, patient
|
|
records, reference books, and computers. The raid was part of the
|
|
FDA's crackdown on nutritional therapists. No one was charged with
|
|
a crime.
|
|
|
|
6) In 1992, heavily armed men burst into a house in Oakdale, CA, and
|
|
pinned 64-year-old retired ranch foreman William Hauselmann to the
|
|
floor, bruising his back and cutting his face. They also held his
|
|
61-year-old wife at gunpoint on the bathroom floor while they ransacked
|
|
the house. They were acting on a tip that they admitted "proved to be
|
|
180 degrees wrong."
|
|
|
|
7) On August 25, 1992, the US Customs Service and DEA raided the
|
|
house of Donald Carlson. Without announcing who they were, they
|
|
began battering down the door. Carlson awoke and thought he was
|
|
being robbed, so he armed himself. The agents smashed down the door
|
|
and lobbed a concussion grenade. There was an exchange of fire,
|
|
Carson was hit 3 times, and he spent six weeks hooked to a ventilator
|
|
in intensive care. The agents found no drugs. They had been acting
|
|
on a tip from an informant known only as "Ron" who had been kicked out
|
|
of an anti-drug program because his reports lacked truthfulness.
|
|
|
|
8) On October 2, 1992, a drug task force composed of LA police,
|
|
sheriff's deputies, DEA, National Park personnel, and National Guard troops
|
|
burst into the home of Donald Scott and shot him dead. The agents said
|
|
they were looking for marijuana, but found none. The following March 30,
|
|
the Ventura County District Attorney released a report disclosing that
|
|
the real reason for the raid was because the government wanted Scott's
|
|
200-acre ranch as part of its expansion plans for the Santa Monica
|
|
National Recreation Area. Scott had refused to sell, so they made
|
|
him an offer he couldn't refuse. The ranch was seized under federal
|
|
forfeiture laws.

|
|
|
Its time for change in this country. For those that believe the government
|
|
controls the agencies under it, think again. Rogue agencies do exist.
|
|
MIBs (Men in Black) do exist. No one truly holds their leash.
