THE COST OF STANDING UP
When I first really got into the Liberty movement in 2008 or so I was aware of an acute risk of being set up or persecuted should I become successful or even noticed. My state has had a long history of disputes between what some would call the “extreme Right wing” and the state and federal government. We have also had our fair share of impressive military victories, including the slaughter of Mississippi troops in hand to hand fighting at the aptly named Devil’s Den at Gettysburg; and the controversial and likely criminal slaughter at Bad Axe.
Whether it be an enforcement of an obscure and Unconstitutional Brady provision or a calculated attack on peaceable members of society who simply choose to exercise their Constitutional freedoms whilst harming noone the state and federal goverments have a long standing history of persecuting and unjustly imprisoning any Wisconsinite who dares interpret and invoke their Second Amendment freedoms with our Founders’ intent.
Overt attacks may be a thing of the past as the Modern Militia Movement has had a meteoric rise, with close to 40,000 active members participating statewide as recent as 2014 and the focus now has apparently switched to setups and shotgun prosecution. I face never ending attempts to lure me into a violent confrontation.
They sit outside my home disrupting my phone signal.
They follow my girlfriend and try to collect her DNA sample for only God knows what
They watch my house
They look in my windows.
They attack me.
They watch me eat breakfast.
They send high school girls to attack my 9 year old daughter at recess while the teachers look the other way.
They send a mob to stomp on my 7 year old daughter’s leg at recess and punish the kids who protected her.
When I tell the truth, they try to intimidate me.
They try to extort me.
Am I not allowed to do yard work?
They threaten me.
My family cannot be the only one to experience these attacks. I wish the others would speak out. You are not alone. Reach out to me and we will fight this together!
They set up a DUI with a friend of mine: He was using a medicine prescribed by doctors (let's not talk about the pharmaceutical industry)... Proved that he was NOT driving under influence, and in the day of the trial, even though it was already agreed that he would not be convicted, they surprisingly forced him to accept the charges of 10 days in jail plus "volunteer work" in a company. Disgusting.
Would you believe I was sentenced to 6 months in jail for legitimate self defense and was thrown in the hole and served 8? The system is so crooked that everyone sees it and they still feed it.
All it would take to topple it was if just 10% of us stopped obeying.

I hate that this stuff happens to good people.
Hello, my name is Zamara Bennett and I'm working to begin a conscious collective dedicated to the conscious application of technology to support and empower end users. One thing I have been wanting to research or work on adding to our agenda is citizens investigations/protections. Bascially I want to provide a platform for people who are experiencing troubles like you are, to write in and have that recorded on the blockchain (like an incident report), then the collective members will work (utilizing social media & crowdfunding) to pressure local governments, non-profits, and organizations to get involved. It is still a loose concept and we are slowly making it more concrete. However, I would be interested in learning more about your unique situation [email protected] if you would be willing to email me so we could talk one on one about what is happening to you so that we can develop a means to stopping this on all levels for everybody experiencing these sorts of problems. I would greatly appreciate hearing from you to learn more about your experience. I will try to reach out on steemit.chat as well! Thank you so much for sharing my heart truly goes out to you.
pst. don't forget to email me lol
