Jews learned several harsh lessons in the Holocaust. One of them was to beware of snitches. The problem has not gone away.
Pennsylvania: Couple Sues Over Police “Drug” Raid That Mistook Hibiscus for Marijuana
Last November, a Pennsylvania couple’s home was raided by police who mistakenly believed the couple’s hibiscus plants to be marijuana. The couple is now reportedly suing Buffalo Township and Nationwide Insurance for “excessive force, false arrest, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy in their lawsuit.”The couple’s ordeal began when Nationwide Insurance sent an agent out to assess a claim; the agent took pictures of the couple’s hibiscus plants and sent them to local police as evidence of the illegal planting and growing of marijuana. Buffalo Township police reacted by raiding the couple’s home and leading a partially-dressed and barefoot Audrey Cramer, 66, out to their patrol car. Her husband Edward Cramer, 69, was met with drawn guns and arrested upon returning home while his wife was still sitting, handcuffed, in the cruiser.
This police state worshipping “good citizen” narced on an elderly couple. An innocent elderly couple. A couple with whom he was in a business relationship to help. Instead, he exercised his ignorance to try to destroy their lives.
Perhaps you happen to believe the “War on Drugs” is a good thing. Maybe you think anyone using marijuana deserves whatever they get. I don’t, on either count.
But that’s beside the point.
What if this nasty little informer spotted a defensive firearm and reported that to police. What if he saw a semiautomatic AR-pattern rifle and decided — probably on the basis of lamestream muddia reporting — that it was an illegal machine gun?
Got grandad’s old deactivated WW1 artillery shell memento? Maybe he’d report an explosives stash.
I’m fairly careful who I let into the house. This is why.
Insurance agent/Stasi informant Jonathan Yeamans is scum; he abused a position of trust to violate that couple’s rights and his company helped. Fortunately, people are discovering that.
“Nationwide will run and hide.”
And the dangers abound. Victim-disarming harpy Shannon Watts encourages people to ask if friends and family are armed for the holidays. If they have to ask, they are not real friends, and you should be concerned what they’d do with that information.
If you want more information on protecting your privacy and life, I recommend Claire Wolfe‘s free ebook, RATS! Your guide to protecting yourself against snitches, informers, informants, agents provocateurs,narcs, finks, and similar vermin.

I tell my doctors that I own no guns. Now that I got my medical marijuana card again in a desperate attempt to try to control my chronic daily migraines, that the 15 norco’s per month that I am allowed don’t do much to help, I also don’t tell my doctor about that either. The last time I was at the Medi Center, my blood pressure was through the roof, as it always is when I have a bad migraine. So my doctor wants to see me, like right away. So I am marching in on Monday like the good little boy, to see what he will say. He is a young guy, just out of residency, pretty smart. But I am an old guy, just about fed up with the entire system, pretty sick and tired of the governmental system of regulations. This could be an interesting appointment.
