IRS agents arrest Vancouver man who called for killing federal workers
As I recall, Bell never called for anyone to be killed. He merely suggested that the construction of anonymous wagering pools would faciliate a market in the disposal of tyrants.
I can attest to that if necessary.
Federal agents since have focused on a Bell theory that carbon fibers could be used to sabotage computer hard drives, thus disabling them. East confirmed Bell's interest in using carbon fibers as a "computer killer" but dismissed it as a "goofball idea."
I thought microscopic amounts of airborne silicone were the preferred method of causing large numbers of drives to mysteriously fail.
Wait, aren't hard drives hermetic?
The search warrant for East's home shows that the government also is interested in determining whether Bell and others have experimented with volatile chemicals in preparation for attacks on IRS offices and agents.
The government is only lending credibility to Bell's paranoia by behaving like jackbooted thugs.
While you are right, I think that the government is as, if not more, paranoid than Jim Bell or anyone else.
Is this federal agent Bell is supposed to have interfered with one of the agents who arrested him? Sounds like fabrication from whole cloth to me.
They may be simply harassing him. There is really no substance in what we've read. - Igor.
