I Just Got Fired by the FBI (The U.S. Mafia)
April 6, 2009 by Tarek Saab · 1 Comment
In case you have been wondering what happened to GoldandSilverNow…
Last Thursday, April 2, 1984 – I mean, 2009 – the FBI confiscated the code for each of my online businesses*. They seized all of our servers. They seized our backup servers, and the backups to our backups. As of this writing, everything I have devoted my professional career to over the past three years is no longer in my possession.
My crime? Nothing. In fact, the FBI is not even after me. You will not see me cuffed in an orange jumpsuit on the nightly news. I am a law-abiding, tax-paying American citizen, just one of hundreds of business owners impacted by a secret government raid on a Dallas server company. Google and AT&T have been affected. Local city governments have lost data. Many are still without e-mail. Several counties have lost their 911 service.
FBI Raids Downtown Facility (see video)
The cause? Lest anyone doubt who our politicians answer to, the tax-payer funded government mafia known as the Federal Bureau of Instigation, while in the midst of supposedly fighting terror and protecting the common good against serial killers and drug cartels, spent Thursday morning confiscating the assets of businesses like mine because one movie pirate (who rented server space from the same hosting company) was facilitating downloads of the Hugh Jackman superhero movie, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” That is the rumor, anyway. I wish I was joking.
I am a published author and obviously do not endorse the piracy of copyrighted material. This is different, whether the rumor is factual or not. This is the equivalent of imprisoning a town because one of its residents is a thief; of evicting an entire apartment building because one tenant is dealing drugs. It is police work the lazy way. In the meantime, hundreds of businesses are now staring at the long and arduous process of regrouping after this fascist sucker punch. The collateral damage is unfathomable.
In the midst of corporate bailouts, stimulus packages, and a $3.6 trillion federal budget, let it be known that the Feds are busy at work raiding small businesses and disrupting the lives of private citizens. We live in a time when the prevailing creed is: some are more equal than others. This is the 21st century animal farm, and the smell from the glue factory is palpable.
According to the FBI, we might get our data returned to us soon. I received the following e-mail this weekend from the FBI agent in charge of the case: “Sir, we are working with Inverse Operations (note: our hosting provider) to provide them with a copy of all of the data on their servers – if you have any questions, please direct them to Inverse Operations.”
Comforting.
Let this be a lesson to others. If ever there has been a time to protect your (ass)ets, it is now. Welcome to communism. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride.
*Lest any of our customers fear that his or her privacy has been compromised, we have kept (and will continue to keep) no customer information. This is the reason we conduct all business by phone. From our inception, all e-mail correspondence has been automatically removed from our servers the moment it was sent, precisely for instances like this one. We will continue to conduct business this way. Hopefully, we will be back up and running in a week . . . that is, if Big Brother allows it.

Sad to hear about all your troubles with your silver business. However I can only wonder when all the college educated idiots in this country are going to figure out what the following means— “The Federal Act of 1871”. ??? People constantly refer to the US Government or Federal Government as though it is some kind of a Soverign self ruling Country. If you read the last article on the above Act it states very plainly the US from then on out IS DEFINED AS A CORPORATION ! It basically INCORPORATED in 1871 and pledged itself to the Rothchild banksters in London England in exchange for Civil War “Reconstruction loans. So called Senators and Congressmen are nothing more than CORPORATE EMPLOYEES of a SELF MADE INCOPORATED To make legit Government MAFIA whose loyality and false sense of honor are much lower than the real mafia has to their constituents. That taken to heart should tell you that the banksters and their pimps in DC want to rob everyone of all the physical silver and gold they can. JKF who passed an executive order just 6 weeks before his murder in Dallas to do away with the federal reserve act and foreign owned Federal Reserve Banks in this country paid the ultimate price for trying to bring back a silver standard monetary wise. The whole “DC Corporation is nothing but a gang of theives and liars and rogues bloodsucking under the guise of a Government that ceased to exist in 1871.
