Massive Government Cover-Up In Virginia?

On September 6, 2012, Revolution PAC, which I chair, submitted Freedom-of-Information-Act (FOIA) requests to eight state and local agencies and offices of the Commonwealth of Virginia demanding release of all information and communications relating to the Brandon J. Raub case. Mr. Raub, a former, decorated Marine who served with distinction in Iraq and Afghanistan, was kidnapped on August 16 by a joint strike force of Virginia and Federal “law-enforcement” agents, after which they tried to “disappear” him into the Virginia psychiatric gulag without charging him with any wrongdoing.

What did Raub do to deserve this abuse and torment by the government? He posted comments on Facebook that were critical of the government, and it was a private Facebook page, to boot. It was only by the courageous efforts of his mother, a dedicated lawyer for liberty (John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute), and widespread protest about this abuse of government power by average people across the nation that Raub was saved from being stashed away and subjected to psychotropic drugs and brainwashing by government shrinks.

According to Whitehead, something is rotten in the Commonwealth of Virginia that goes way beyond just the Raub case:

“Every year in Virginia, more than 20,000 people are detained for civil commitment and whisked away just like Raub. Brandon Raub’s case exposed the seedy underbelly of a governmental system that seems to be targeting Americans – especially military veterans – for expressing their discontent over America’s rapid transition to a police state.”

This is evidence of the looming police state.

The elites are Nazi - Zionists.

20,000 people on ONE state were involuntarily committed or "detained"? In ONE state? I wonder how many were done in New York? How many others, just like him, are in "the system" but without an advocate? Once taken, he pretty much WOULD "disappear", so the term is perfectly apt. And a perfect imitation of the system used by the old Soviet Union-- NO charges, NO warrant, NO arrest, but still TAKEN by the "authorities", and "detained" until one meets THEIR "standards" of mental normalacy (which includes, of course, that bad habit you have for thinking for yourself)...keep cheering....they love it when you do that...
