Using certified delivery mail, I asked Hillsborough County Sheriff, Cal Henderson, to protect Lutz Community Radio from the federal government. I reminded him of his ultimate authority, and the fact that his responsibility is to the Citizens of Hillsborough County, Florida, not the Federal government.

The first raid, which occurred on March 7, 1996, was preceded by nothing more than a letter from the Tampa FCC office. The letter made no demands. There was no cease and desist order served during the raid. Therefore, soon after the first raid, the radio station was placed back on the air with new equipment.

The FCC's complaint was supported by an affidavit that objected to finding that the radio station could be received up to six miles away. That allegation did not constitute legally admissable evidence of illegal power. Such measurements must be made using specialized electronic equipment, not a car odometer.

The FCC had no right to take our radio equipment. A claim and answer was filed in response to the unfounded complaint. Judge Steven D. Merryday refused to analyze the twelve separate and distinct defenses contained in the answer. There was no substantive due process of law. We found the court to be a total fraud!

The terrible abuse we had experienced at the hands of the FCC and courts was incentive for us to contact U.S. Congressman Michael Bilirakis. Mr. Bilirakis promised to intervene on behalf of frightened station listeners. We were hopeful that further state-sponsored terrorism could be prevented.

Unfortunately, U.S. Rep. Bilirakis' reneged on his promise to help. Telephone calls to his office brought only song and dance stories that were designed, as we learned later, to conceal the fact that a second assault on Lutz Community Radio was being planned by the government.

On Nov. 19, 1997, the government struck again with a massive demonstration of force. Just before daylight, men dressed in flak jackets carrying assault rifles invaded our peaceful neighborhood like a pack of wild animals. While the ground forces positioned themselves for the attack, a helicopter team arrived. It began flying dangerously low directly over our roof. The entire house literally shook on its foundation. The helicopter was equipped with an intensely bright spotlight which was aimed, alternately, at each window of our home.

Several assault team members arrived at the  front door. They pounded on the door so hard that it rattled windows, all the while they cursed us at the top of their lungs. To say we were terrified is an understatement.

Because we would not unlock the door, a battering ram was readied. Just as two of the aggressors started swinging the ram toward the door, I unlocked it. Two other thugs grabbed hold of my arm and yanked me outside. While the television cameras rolled, I was handcuffed, and hauled away to jail. After ravaging our property for several hours, the goons retreated. They left the outside doors to our home unlocked, demonstrating a criminal mind-set.

The message was clear. If an individual aspires, without permission of the central government, to serve his community using harmless radio airwaves, it will be deemed an extremely serious crime, and delt with accordingly.

During what was, in reality, my abduction, I was given a copy of a criminal indictment that, upon analysis, was found to be flawed. It charged multiple violations of the same activity. It cited statutes which have never been enacted into positive law. It is no surprise to find that FCC Commissioner Michael Powell recognizes that the FCC subverts the Constitution.

In addition to the intimidation factor, the use of excessive force on Nov. 19th was calculated to discredit - to create an illusion that we are "wackos." For our legal reform activities, a certain faction of local government and media cretins attempted and failed once already to have my county school teacher wife fired. I have my own business, so they went for her job first. There is an ongoing effort to destroy us, because we actively confront criminals in government.

To execute vengeance on me, these outlaws applied non-constitutional FCC statutes. They rely heavily on media slant, and the huge gullibility of the public. Classic "show trials" are created, in which the force of law is misapplied in order to destroy the politically incorrect. Fully manipulated juries, prejudiced by the twisted media reports, naively cooperate in the fictitious conversion of honest and productive American citizens into convicted felons.

The public servant's plan to protect the people, by destroying their means of interaction, and exercising their religious freedom, is about to begin.

Isn't it interesting that the Government's carefully planned destruction of the Lutz radio communications facility, most of which was licensed, was kept totally secret from everyone except the media?

Why would private contract workers assist in the destruction of private property without determining if the owner of the property had been afforded a court hearing regarding the matter first?

This satellite dish was not instrumental in the generation of FM Band radio transmissions. Could it be that destruction of this dish was intended as a punitive measure, similar to the senseless destruction of David Koresh's prized 1968 Camaro? There was no court hearing in either instance.

Isn't it a violation of the Bill of Rights to deprive a Citizen of his property without substantive due process of law? I wonder why it is only American Citizens who must obey the law, and not their courts or their public servants?

Why are Americans willing to stand by and watch, as their next-door neighbors are destroyed one at a time for standing fast against the steadily encroaching, non-Constitutional actions of government actors?

It is interesting to note that the government did not choose to remove the non-licensed FM Band antennas from the tower, and leave standing the 90% of the antenna system which was beneficial to the community and FCC licensed.

It is also interesting to note that, although the FCC had the entire 80 foot tower taken away by truck, it did not bother to haul away the non-licensed FM Band antennas at all! All of the antennas are still laying in the yard. They make an excellent monument to Tyranny in AmeriKa.

Of the three FCC raids of Tampa-area stations on November 19, 1997, only the raid on the news and Christian format radio station in Lutz rated destruction of the concrete foundation for the antenna tower.

Coupled with the amateur radio section of the communications facility, this generator would have enabled Lutz Community Radio to help protect the Life and Property of American Citizens during emergencies.

Could it be that an American government controlled by foreign interests is unlikely to want American Citizens to be self sufficient and independent?
