Marine Veteran Brandon Raub’s Attorney says he is getting calls from veterans and people all over the country reporting psychiatric detention for political speech.
Last Thursday, decorated former US Marine Brandon Raub, who served two tour of duties in Iraq and Afghanistan, was detained by the FBI and local authorities for posting controversial anti-government political comments on the social media site Facebook.
Although 26 year-old Brandon Raub was forcefully detained against his will for his political views he was not charged with any criminal misconduct a hallmark of the NAZI gestapo which used the tactic of indefinite psychiatric detention to crush political dissent.
Constitutional attorney John Whitehead representing Raub discussed how the US government violated his client’s first amendment rights with RT yesterday.
He also made an appearance on GBTV with Glen Beck in which he made even more shocking revelations.
Whitehead tells Beck that he is getting calls from military veterans all over the country subjected to the same Nazi style psychiatric detention for their political views.
More alarming, is when Beck asked if people of left-wing ideology – specifically members of Occupy Wall Street – are being detained Whitehead responded saying he can’t say for sure because people all over the country are just disappearing.
He also reveals that while Raub was in psychiatric detention one of the psychiatrists that he was seeing threatened to “brainwash” him and force him to take medication.
Watch the entire interview:

Attorney of Former Marine Detained for Facebook Posts Tells Beck: Psychiatrist Threatened to ‘Brainwash’ My Client With Meds
[...]Whitehead told Beck that he and his organization are planning to sue over a provision in Virginia state law that allows authorities to place a person in emergency custody and hold them for four hours unless a magistrate enters a temporary detention order (TDO). Raub was held under this law, specifically Va. Code § 37.2-808, for days.
“We are getting ready to file a civil lawsuit…because [Raub] has been put through hell for a week,” said Whitehead. But, he explained, “Under the civil commitment law in Virginia, the police can do this.”
[...]Whitehead said that veterans have since been contacting him from across the country claiming they too were victims of wrongful detention in psychiatric institutes like Raub. Apparently, there are civil commitment laws in other states as well, he said.
“It happens. There’s about 20,000 civil commitments alone in Virginia each year,” he added.
It was actually Raub’s mother, who took to Facebook in a rage after he son was taken by federal and local law enforcement officers, that sounded the alarm and made the entire country aware of his situation.
“Did they have a warrant for his arrest?” Beck asked.
“No warrant for his arrest and no search warrant,” Whitehead replied. “They haven’t [charged him with a crime] and they’re not going to.”
Stunned, Beck asked how this could take place in the United States of America, where the Constitution provides protections from such things, most notably the First Amendment.
“Is this America,” the attorney said. “That’s what I keep asking.”
To be clear, Raub is a 9/11 “truther” and harbors some pretty questionable beliefs. However, as Beck explains, Americans should defend the free speech of even the people they disagree with. “I will stand with anyone on the left for their right to express themselves in a non-violent way… especially if I find it offensive, I will stand for their right to say it,” Beck said.
Further, in a surprising twist, Whitehead revealed a startling allegation that his client made regarding an incident that occurred before his release. Raub complained to his attorney that one of the psychiatrists that he was seeing threatened to “brainwash” him and force him to take medication.
“That really scared him,” he said.
After soaking in all that Whitehead had shared with him, Beck reflected:
“From what I know of this story, this is an outrage. There were some things that stick out to me — as flares of caution. But the one thing we should be reckless with is our defense of people who have opinions that we don’t agree with. I’ve never asked for a boycott, I’ve never asked for someone to be fired.”
He continued: “If we can’t meet on the battlefield of ideas, as George Washington said, If we can’t speak to each other openly, if we are paranoid and watching over our shoulder, we lose the essence of who we are and we will never be a great nation again… Buckle up, I have a feeling that this is going to be an interesting ride.”

Please, if you haven’t already, check into Marine Sgt Charles A. Dyer. He was accused, by his now ex-wife, of having sexually abused their very young daughter. The attorney has refused to allow him to offer his evidence and refused the jury to be given the opportunity to establish “reasonable doubt”. In part, his story is available on FaceBook, on a page called “patriots for justice in the case of Charles Dyer” Log In | Facebook
His mother, Jan Dyer also has an FB page. Charles is now preparing his appeal ( was sentenced to 30 years by the St. Stephens County court. )
His constitutional rights have been violated repeatedly during the events leading up to his trial and since.

In most states, they need nothing from court to medicate you, against your will.
They can also keep you forever, just based on what these shrinks say, during the 30 days.
Raub was only released due to publicity.

What folks need to realize is that whether liberal or conservative, rep or dem, we’re all pissed about the same things. Where we get hung up, and this is by design, is the blame game. The gov/corporate/media battle plan hinges on divide and conquer tactics. Their effort to keep each side blaming the other keeps us distracted from the real culprit- our corporate controlled government and its media, Fox news included and ESP Fox news. So instead of blaming liberal or conservative, why not forget about partisan politics and just blame the men who are actually doing the shit that’s missing us off.

We didn’t live during Hitler of course, but I remember watching a documentary on it. The government told their people that those they were “holding” were perfectly OK and well cared for. They were secreted away from the general civilization where nobody could see them. Then they forced people they were holding to dress up and give propaganda speeches on how great things were for them where they were. Then they were sent to the concentration camps and later gassed. We gotta stop this NOW! Before it gets worse.

PLEASE review and correct your report. There are a number of grammatical/spelling errors. I was referred to your website by rense.com, which is a VERY popular website, and many others will likewise be visiting your site from rense.com and other links. It does not look good, and makes you look less credible, when there are glaring and embarrassing mistakes in the very first lines of your report!
Example: “Last Thursday, decorator form US Marine Brandon Raub …”
["decorator"? "form"?]

LOL “i’m a vet but cannot prove it”. even if you took all the paperwork out of it, i could name 10-15 people I’m still in contact with who would vouch that they served in various units with me. so you expect us to believe not only do you have no copies of your entrance paperwork, exit paperwork, or any promotion warrants or other records with your name on them– but also there are no living vets who can prove they are vets to vouch they served with you? puh-lease.

I’m from Northern Ireland, and you guys who are trying to pass this off as not a big deal, need to look up internment in my country. Yeah, it kinda sparked off a major civil war here that you may have heard of. There are tribunals being held now that are exposing the truth of what really happened, and the collusion between the British government and loyalist paramilitaries.
It appears to me that your government has seen how other countries operate in this way, and they’re taking note. America is supposed to be the land of the free – I suggest you try to keep it that way, lest you repeat the mistakes that other countries have made.

The way the shills hit this article is proof positive it is SOLID. One shill said Alexander cannot spell. Others ripped Beck. Others brought Romney into it. Others tried to divert the topic entirely. -SO-
It’s for real, it has started.
And I have photos of one of the prison camps. They WILL be posted on my web site. It’s all for real, they are located on closed military bases and called psychiatric hospitals. My pictures are from the one at Fort Devens.
So shill all you want LOSERS, but I have a little advice. NEVER get the mind to think for yourself, or you too will one day suffer the consequences of your behavior here.

William,
I hate to break it to you, but this has been going on for years. If a vet that had been involved in any kind of Intelligence becomes what the military classifies as a liability (goes rogue) they disappear. I know for a fact that this has been going on since the 70's.

I know someone who was trying to find her husband. She hired a Private Investigator, went through proper military channels and one day was paid a visit and was told this scenario and warned to stop her search. As she was told would happen by this person all records of her husband vanished. As the private investigator said, "it was like he was wiped off the face of the earth".

Homeland Security-Funded Study Lists People ‘Reverent of Individual Liberty’ as ‘Extreme Right-Wing’ Terrorists
Posted on July 3, 2012
Are you “reverent of individual liberty?“ Are you ”suspicious of centralized federal authority?“ Do you think there is a ”grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty?”
Well, then you fall into the category of “extreme right-wing” terrorist, according to a new study out of the University of Maryland, which was funded in part by the Department of Homeland Security.
The study, titled “Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States, 1970-2008,” was conducted by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) at the university. The organization has received roughly $12 million from DHS and is set to get another $3.6 million in future funding. It is also listed as one of DHS’s “Centers for Excellence” on the agency’s website.
The study says right-wing extremists are “groups that believe that one’s personal and/or national ‘way of life’ is under attack and is either already lost or that the threat is imminent.”
Further, right-wing extremist groups “believe in the need to be prepared” by taking part in “paramilitary preparations and training or survivalism.“ Groups may also be ”fiercely nationalistic“ and ”suspicious of centralized federal authority.”
Right-wing extremism also involves a belief in “conspiracy theories that involve grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty,” the study claims.
Interestingly, in an oversight that is not explained, the report barely mentions radical Islam. Instead the study lumps religious terrorist groups into one category and describes them as “groups that seen to smite the purported enemies of God and other evildoers, impose strict religious tenants or laws on society (fundamentalists), forcibly insert religion into the political sphere.”
Bill Braniff (Source: start.umd.edu)
The recently appointed director of the START center is Bill Braniff, who argues that widespread “Islamophobia” is present in law enforcement training materials. He was quoted in a July 2011 NPR article saying, “I think this is something that happens across the nation fairly consistently… No one is tracking this with numbers, but anecdotally we are hearing about it all the time. The Muslim-American community is being preyed upon from two different directions.”
According to START’s website, “Braniff has also taken a keen interest in the field of Countering Violent Extremism (CVE). He has consulted with the Department of Justice, the FBI and the National Security Staff, playing a key role in an interagency working group dedicated to the topic.”
So it shouldn’t be surprising that the study also appears to leave out some important data about “religious terrorism.” As pointed out by PJ Media:In Table 4 (p. 22), titled “Hot Spots of Religious Terrorism by Decade”, three “hot spot” areas — Los Angeles, Manhattan, and Wasco, Oregon (former home of the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh) — are identified:To be sure, the definition of extreme left-wing terrorists describes the Occupy Wall Street movement almost perfectly:
But there seems to be some data missing when it comes to known Islamic terrorist incidents in New York City and Los Angeles. The study shows no religious terrorism in Manhattan during the 1990s. How about the 1993 World Trade Center bombing? Or the 1994 Brooklyn Bridge Jewish student van shooting by Rashid Baz that killed 16-year-old Ari Halberstam after Baz heard a fiery anti-Jewish sermon at his local mosque? Or the 1997 Empire State Building observation deck shooting by Ali Abu Kamal that killed one tourist and injured six others before Kamal took his own life?
And then there was the 2002 shooting at the Los Angeles Airport El Al counter by Hesham Mohamed Hadayet that killed two and wounded four others. The FBI and Justice Department concluded that the attack was a terrorist attack by an Egyptian assailant bent on becoming a Muslim martyr.
These are reflected nowhere in the study. Perhaps, like the 2009 Fort Hood massacre by Major Nidal Hasan, who gunned down his U.S. Army colleagues while shouting “Allahu Akbar,” these incidents are considered acts of “workplace violence” and not religious terrorism?
Have these incidents been redefined to prevent facts from conflicting with an agenda-driven narrative? Or have these data points been excluded altogether?
Groups that want to bring about change through violent revolution rather than through established political processes. This category also includes secular left-wing groups that rely heavily on terrorism to overthrow the capitalist system and either establish a “dictatorship of the proletariat” (Marxist-Leninists) or, much more rarely, a decentralized, non-hierarchical political system (anarchists).Other terrorist groups include “entho-nationalist/separatists” (think New Black Panther Party) and “single issue” organizations, such as “anti-abortion” advocates.
Further, taking a look at the START dataset’s codebook, two subgroups of “right-wing extremism“ were identified as ”gun rights“ and ”tax protest,” according to PJ Media.
The definition of “terrorism” seems to be expanding at an alarming rate as the federal government and other left-leaning scholarly institutions are increasingly classifying seemingly harmless actions such as cherishing personal liberty and opposing abortion as potential terrorist activity.
This isn’t the first time taxpayers have funded these types of terrorism “studies.”
For example, the FBI’s Communities Against Terrorism program recently classified things such as the bulk purchase of food and paying with cash at a coffee shop as indicators for potential terrorist activity.
It appears that anyone could be considered a terrorist these days, depending on who controls the interpretation of the information.

Far-right Violence in the United States: 1990-2010
Following the 5 August 2012 shooting at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, START researchers compiled background information from the United States Extremist Crime Database (ECDB) on ideologically motivated far-right violence in the United States, generally, and far-right extremist crimes related to religion and religious institutions, specifically. Although the ECDB includes crimes committed by individuals with varying ideologies, this report focuses exclusively on far-right violence and crime due to initial reporting that the alleged perpetrator in Oak Creek was motivated by either a racist skin-head or white supremacist ideology. Should additional information about the ideological motivation for the attack confirm the initial reporting, this factsheet may help contextualize the event.
START’s Extremist Crime Database includes a systematic collection of open-source data on financial and violent criminal behavior in the United States associated with far-right extremists, far-left extremists, and al-Qaida-inspired and associated extremists. The ECDB does not exclusively focus on terrorist attacks, rather it records criminal incidents committed by extremist groups or their supporters. These crimes range in important ways, such as the level of violence imposed on victims, number of suspects involved and the motivations underlying each incident. For example, extremist crimes include ideologically and non-ideologically motivated homicides, financial crimes and cases involving foiled plots. The conduct of a criminal act is an inclusion criterion in this dataset; individuals are not included in this dataset absent criminal activity. The use of broad ideological categories in this research does not suggest that an individual or group sharing one or more of these beliefs is likely to be an extremist criminal.
IDEOLOGICALLY MOTIVATED FAR-RIGHT HOMICIDES
Between 1990 and 2010 there were 145 ideologically motivated homicide incidents committed by far-right extremists in the United States. Of those incidents:
- Including the Oklahoma City Bombing, which killed 168 individuals, far-right extremists killed 348 individuals during ideologically motivated homicide events between 1990 and 2010. Excluding that attack, far-right extremists killed 180 individuals between 1990 and 2010.
- 58 percent of the victims of ideologically motivated far-right violence were killed by perpetrators using firearms.
- More than half of the victims of far-right violence were targeted because they were racial/ethnic minorities.
- 37 percent of these homicide incidents were perpetrated by a lone individual.
- 32 law enforcement officers were killed in the line of duty by far-right extremists during ideologically motivated attacks. In addition, corrections officers, private security guards, and a judge have been killed during ideologically motivated attacks.
- For 10 percent of perpetrators, there was evidence that they expected to be killed or captured while committing their crimes.
- Almost 5 percent of perpetrators were killed by law enforcement during the commission of their crimes.
