I Was Right! Now What?

Well, for those of you who thought I was being paranoid about certain government entities visiting my site (not spying, doing it in the open), I'm NOT paranoid, and yes, it turns out that I was right to be worried about their motives. The one I was most concerned about has been back to my blog several times, now I know what they were fishing for. I wonder what the other .gov's and such are looking for?

I received a letter from said agency that has shaken me, it has also infuriated me, I don't know what to do for now, all I can say is this is unacceptable, I have done nothing wrong. It's possible that the multiple recent visits to my blog have nothing to do with the letter I received, but I seriously doubt it.

I'll write more about this in the coming days after I find out a bit more information about this development.

I can understand why some of the other blogs I frequent have shut down, when that big thumb is hovering over your head, it can be scary to stand firm and wait for that giant thumb to come down.

For now, I am not planning on shutting this blog down, I have done NOTHING wrong and I will not run away, so if in the future you come back and find this site gone, I can assure you that it was not my wish to do so.

Now, I'm going to try to scrub off the big target that seems to have been painted on me, it might take more hot water and soap than I have right now, I hope I have some skin left when it's all said and done.

Why in the hell can't the powers that be just leave us alone and let us live our lives in peace?

Before you get too concerned about me, I don't think anything is going to happen to me, AS LONG AS I DO NOTHING and let things go, AND stop doing what I was **LEGALLY** doing, my other option is to contest this, meaning I have to prove a negative, I have to prove that I was not doing something illegal, I don't have the money to get a lawyer to look at this, much less contest it. Believe me, the wording in the letter is ominous and menacing at best. From what I have discerned from different places, even if I contest this and win, they can do this to me again and again, as many times as they wish to.

The bureaucratic websites are a major pain to navigate, and IF you can find what you are looking for, one site says one thing, another site says the complete opposite. One site says I CAN do this, another site says I CAN'T do this, which one do I believe?

Dammit! I didn't want this site to become political, that's not what this site is all about.

To those employed by the formerly stated gov type sites who are looking at my blog on YOUR BREAK or downtime AND are merely personally interested in the info on this blog, please visit my blog on your own time on your own computer at HOME, please stop visiting me on your work computers, I have enough gray hairs on my head, I don't want any more because of this, I have nothing against you personally, I welcome all genuinely interested (in off grid living) visitors, OK?

Are there any lawyers or legal professionals out there who would like to look at this for me and tell me if I even have a fighting chance? Apparently this sort of thing has been going on for many years, this has happened to lots of people, and I haven't found one that fought back, all of them, that I read about on line just gave up without as much as a wimper. I just want to know what the law really says about this and what my rights are.

Be watching for more info about this
