Pro-War Freeper Speaks Out On Luke's Police Raid

Local Free Republic right-winger and war supporter, Beth Caherty aka tgslTakoma,posted her musings about the raid on Luke's home.
Her posting indicates that the prowar group Move America Forward has been contacting the Department of Justice to investigate antiwar activists.

From Beth Caherty aka tgslTakoma:

Multi-agency Cooperation: Investigation Of Domestic Terrorists In DC (Kudos To Melanie Morgan/MAF)
DC Radical Thug Website | May 5, 2008

Posted on Thursday, May 08, 2008 11:52:24 AM by tgslTakoma

For a number of years now, the DC Police Department has been afraid to do the job that we the citizens hired them to do. Fear of lawsuits brought by various radical, leftist, socialist and anarchist groups has for years rendered the DC Police Department impotent in carrying out their duties; but that may have changed this week.

On Monday, May 5, 2008, officers of the Montgomery County (MD) Police, DC Police and US Park Police coordinated a search of the home of well-known DC radical (and bicycle messenger/delivery boy), Luke Kuhn (aka "Wook"). While officers were executing the search warrant of his home, the DC and US Park Police were searching the person and his belongings on a DC street.

Apparently, the investigators took "electronic equipment" during their search of Luke's room in his mother's house, where Luke lives. Luke did not say whether his room is in the basement or the garage of the home.

It is interesting that, after so many years of seeing him in the mobs involved in numerous acts of vandalism and lawlessness on the streets of DC, Luke has finally gotten the attention of law enforcement. Could this recent investigation be related to Melanie Morgan and Move America Forward's successful effort to get federal law enforcement to treat these attacks as domestic terrorism? I believe it is.

Below is the "report" posted on DC Indymedia by Luke, for entertainment purposes. It would be more entertaining if he had given an audio report, but, ALAS! His electronic equipment was taken in the "raid" so you will have to weed the wepoht as if Wook was tewwing the stowy to you:

From Move America Forward:

Move America Forward has received a response through our lawyers that the Department of Justice is taking on the case of defending military recruiters from attacks by far-left anti-war groups, anarchist groups and socialist organizations that have undertaken to hurl rocks, smash windows, splatter paint, deface, graffiti, plant bombs, slash tires, harass, and otherwise make life hell for recruiters.

The letter, received last week by MAF’s lawyers, advises that the concerns that MAF brought to the desk of the US Attorney’s offices, have been passed on to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for further “review and appropriate action”.

Move America Forward’s Executive Director Catherine Moy said, “We were very pleased to hear that the Department of Justice is taking our findings seriously, and we will make ourselves available to the FBI in full cooperation, to share with them all the evidence and reports we have collected so that federal investigators can conduct a full and thorough investigation into the anti-American wrongdoings of certain groups and individuals.”

When Move America Forward began researching and putting together “The Sedition Report” earlier this year, it quickly became clear that not only were attacks on recruiting centers are increasingly violent and continue to escalate, but that the attacks seemed to be orchestrated by a number of groups acting in consortium. MAF also produced this ad exposing the concerted effort to target recruiters.

Then we staged a press conference in Washington DC to spread awareness about what we had found. While often times you hear about a recruiting center being attacked here and there, it was easy to dismiss them as isolated incidents. However, when put together in a single document, one can see the disturbing trends and coordination apparent.

Re: Pro-War Freeper Speaks Out On Luke's Police Raid

In Spring 2004, the Freepers dogged the Dover AFB to Lafayette Park march for most of the College park to Lafayette Park leg. During the end of the civil disobedience, the Freepers suddenly disappeared, not to be seen again. Seconds later, a fire erupted in Ms Concepcion's tent in Lafayette Park. The police were extremely reluctant to investigate the fire, claiming cigarettes started it. Ms Concepcion does not smoke! Finally, other protesters found the remnants of burned matches wrapped in paper, and realized the funny smell was lighter fluid.

The fire department pronounced the fire "set," but claimed it wasn't arson, as the tent "was not a structure." Well, there have been plenty of cases of people being convicted of arson for burning SUVs and logging equipment, and those are not structures either.

The investigation ended at that point, and the arsonists were never caught. Some have wondered why the Freepers disappeared seconds before the fire began.

With a history of this kind of suspicion, Free Republic is in no position to be harassing prosecutors demanding investigations of political activists. After all, they too are political activists (of the wrong type), and they too have been accused of crimes.

Free Republic also works hand in hand with God Hates Fags.
 

Who is behind Move America Forward?

MAF is supposed to be just a GOP front group, but they seem to have a unusual connection and relationship with the Feds and appears to behind the motivation for these attacks on activists.

The spokes person for MAF is the Aryan Fascist "Melanie Morgan" who "gained national notoriety in the summer of 2006 when she suggested that Bill Keller, an editor of the New York Times, be killed in a "gaschamber" for the crime of "treason" after the Times' reporting on US government spying on Americans."

How a PR firm based puppet front group like MAF has this kind of influence with the Feds is worth looking into.
 

Re: Who is behind Move America Forward?

And look who also is working with MAF, Mary Beth's S.O.

Re: Pro-War Freeper Speaks Out On Luke's Police Raid

what was the basis of the warrant???????????????
 

Re: Pro-War Freeper Speaks Out On Luke's Police Raid

all this freeper speculation is totally baseless without some indication of what the warrant was for
 

Re: Re: Pro-War Freeper Speaks Out On Luke's Police Raid

Fishing for legal information, are we?
I'm sure prosecutors would just LOVE to get a statement posted here including the basis of the warrant so they could try to use it against someone...
 

Basis for Warrant is Known to Cops

The simple basis of the warrant is known to the prosecutors since they got the warrant & gave it to the police to perform the search.

As long as no details are given, posting the basis of the search would stop speculation without providing info to cops or prosecutors.

If the warrant was trying to uncover evidence that Luke was hunting without a license or running a circus without a permit, we could all know that it was absurd.

Why not tell the readers what the cops and prosecutors have claimed? Cops/prosecutors already know.
 

Seems to Us Freakers Are Hyprocrites

They say they are against "big government" (AKA the State) but want a big military/massive pigstabulary and have nothing against people being arrested, tortured and murdered by them. Things, not conincidentally, that waste money and drive up taxes.

Freakers are not only liars, they are "Big Government" tax and spend anti liberty/anti freedom proponents.
 

Posted to Free Republic and Youtube Three Days before raid

While these only concern attacks on recruiters, and none of the arrests, etc here seem to concern strikes on recruiters this is stil damned suspicious.

FBI To Address Attacks (On Military Recruiting Offices, REsponse to MAF "Sedition Report")

FBI To Address Attacks


Dear Pro-Troop Supporters:

I have some great news to share with you!! Please also pass along this information to others who will appreciate the good news.

As you know there has sadly been an increasing campaign of violence against military recruiting centers across the nation - conducted by anti-military radicals (who are erroneously referred to as "peace activists" by a sympathetic media). We at Move America Forward researched the vast array of these incidents and compiled them together in "The Sedition Report" which we provided to members of Congress and law enforcement.

Today Move America Forward's legal team received an official response from the U.S. Department of Justice criminal division:

"This is in response to your letter to the Criminal Division dated April 3, 2008. on behalf of your client, Move America Forward, Inc., recounting a number of incidences of vandalism and other activities at military recruiting stations."

Much to our delight, the letter went on to say that they had agreed to direct our formal request for an investigation (and appropriate prosecutions based on the results of those investigations), "to Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters for review and appropriate action."

We at Move America Forward will keep pressing forward on this issue. We will not allow our troops to come under attack here on home soil from those who express a seething white hatred towards our military men and women.

Over the past several weeks thousands of patriotic Americans provided the financial support that has paid for our legal team to press forward with these efforts. You and other patriots also paid for a television commercial that documented these attacks that has already aired across the nation.

Thank you all so much for your continued support of our troops and helping us at Move America Forward to make great progress in our pro-troop efforts.

Fondly,

Melanie Morgan
Chairman, Move America Forward

Re: Pro-War Freeper Speaks Out On Luke's Police Raid

Free Republic does not work hand in hand with God Hates Fags. Nobody works with Fred Phelps but his gang of inbreds. Your lie has been exposed once again.
 

Re: Pro-War Freeper Speaks Out On Luke's Police Raid

Free Republic ..... HATES.

AND

GOD HATES FAGS..... HATES

TWO HATERS ........ HAND IN HAND
 

Re: Re: Pro-War Freeper Speaks Out On Luke's Police Raid

As much as I hate both groups, we have to be honest they don't really work hand in hand some of the Freepers dislike God Hates Fags and I am sure the God Hates Fags idiots hate the Freepers. But I think one thing we could agree on is both groups suck. From Fred Phelps to Mary Beth Caherty they are all scum!
 

Re: Pro-War Freeper Speaks Out On Luke's Police Raid

The logic of that attempted tie-in... well, there is no logic to it. You lied again.
 

Re: Pro-War Freeper Speaks Out On Luke's Police Raid

That was in response to two postings ago, not the last post. Just wanted to clear that up.
