Ruby Ridge: Lessons learned from the killing of innocent people

Via 4 Branch

 

When the government tries to squash anti-American ideas it doesn't like, the results are often destructive of American ideals.

Once the FBI committed to subverting “dissident speech,” its crackdowns became a bureaucratic growth industry that eventually included even women’s liberation movements. Nixon aide Tom Charles Huston testified in 1975 of COINTELPRO’s tendency “to move from the kid with a bomb to the kid with a picket sign, and from the kid with the picket sign to the kid with the bumper sticker of the opposing candidate. And you just keep going down the line.”

The best known case of federal right-wing ideological targeting climaxed 25 years ago at Ruby Ridge. Randy Weaver and his family lived in an isolated cabin in the mountains or northern Idaho. 

Weaver was a white separatist who believed races should live apart; he had no record of violence against other races — or anyone else. Undercover federal agents targeted him and entrapped him into selling a sawed-off shotgun. The feds sought to pressure Weaver, who often indulged in antigovernment bluster, to become an informant against the Aryan Nation but he refused.

After Weaver was sent the wrong court date and (understandably) failed to show up, the feds used any and all means to take him down.

    ATF did not go to work that day and they did not send
    their own kids to the daycare located in the building.

    Shoot the wife holding the baby, shoot the young son,
    shoot the dog while he was heading back to his home and
    laugh about it. There is problem in our county and it is
    THEM.

    All are collateral murder.
