Reply #5: i got a visit from the SS because of a post at the bartcop message board in august 2001..

[dysfunctional press]

someone had asked if there was a way under the constitution for Gore to become president before the 2004 election- i replied that he could be elected to congress in 2002, along with enough of a democratic majority to have him elected speaker of the house. at that point it would be the simple matter of a double-assassination to have him end up as president gore.

because of the term "simple matter of a double-assassination", they spent at least three days and numerous man-hours trying to talk to me at my house. the first time they came over, i didn't know who the guys with suitcoats and guns at my door were, so i went out the back window and over my neighbor's fence to circle around and see what was happening- and there was a car in the alley with government g12 plates with a man and woman inside...over the next couple days they tried calling several times- once at 6am, when they knew that both our cars were parked on the street on our block(we lived in chicago at the time). i finally called them back when they told my wife that they'd have to put out a warrant for my arrest. two agents came over- asked some questions about my affiliation with anti-government groups or people who might try to kill the president or vice-president.(absolutely zero). the agent said that he understood the sarcasm in the post but that he had to do what he's ordered to investigate. they took a polaroid of me(fully clothed), and left.

all over one silly post that wasn't even threatening, and all at least a month before 9/11.
