After fighting for three years in the Wisconsin judicial system I was convicted for a misdemeanor based on lies and planted evidence
back in December. With that misdemeanor conviction, the DOJ agent evoked an obscure Brady Law amendment that prohibits me
from possessing a firearm for 1 year from date of conviction. With that as ammo, he sent a BAT agent (because they have the power)
and a tactical team to my home to enforce this "crap" obscure law. Fortunately a friend who was visiting at the time was able to
take possession of the firearm. The authorities DID NOT get the weapon. The funny thing about it is that this firearm was transferred
and approved by the FBI after the conviction. The FBI givith, the ATF takith away. What a country.
As for the web shut-down: The above DOJ agent made a threat to me stating to either change the content or shut the site down.
If I refused, he said he was going to have the site shut-down using the grounds that the 17th WI militia being a covert, clandestine
militia, that does not accept anyone into their membership, and because of the nature of their training, operations and security
measures, would get us labeled as "Domestic terrorist" organization. So in order to prevent him from carrying out his threats, I
closed things down. Measures are being taken to address the problem I'm having with this DOJ thug, and the website will be
back up and running in its original form in a few days.
I'd like to thank everyone for their support and offers of help. I apologize for our members who "cried wolf" and sent the patriot
community into action. I apologize for any problem or inconvinced this has cause anyone. I don't believe this is the start of an attack
on the militia movement as a whole, I believe this to be an attack on me, personally. But who knows. I believe everyone should
remain on an alert status and he if something like this happens else ware. Thanks and my sincere apologies to all.
