Early Monday morning while making my news rounds, a very interesting item from caught my attention. Brandon Raub, a former Marine, was arrested by local police and the
FBI in Virginia and was sent for a mental evaluation for posting
anti-government comments. At least, according to that first article I
read.
I sure as hell wasn’t going to share or comment
on the story until I had more info, but I had to get to work. So, as the
day progressed, I read more and more about
this story. There was talk about green warrants and possible mental
health issues. Then someone posted a link to this guy’s FB page. Some of the stuff on there was just downright crazy. But! Was it a threat or a call for violence? No. Not in my opinion.
Still…I
didn’t have the necessary information to make an informed decision.
Did this guy’s family have him committed? At this point, it’s looking
like no. And the strangest thing to me was, as I mentioned, that the
FBI was involved with his detainment.
As of last night, Mr. Truth himself, Ben Swann,
stated that he was on it. That makes me feel good. Ben will get to the
bottom of it. He has said that at this point—it does not seem to be
passing the smell test. Also, The Rutherford Institute has now come out in support of Mr. Raub.
But until more information presents itself, I just can’t make an
informed analysis; however, I will say this—if he wasn’t involuntarily
committed in a proper way…if this was just the government deciding that
they would detain this man for words he wrote. Then—we might have a
problem. This might be a game-changer. This could be one of the biggest
stories in America that hardly no one knows about. If this was done
improperly, then the United States Government may have just committed
an egregious error.
Time will tell, I’ll follow up soon…
