EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

Serious system failures and repeated crashes continue to plague the headquarters of the Baltimore Spectator. Efforts to update the website have been greatly hampered. With many stories powerful stories of original reporting yet to be published The Spectator is extremely distressed by this. Hmmmmm.... conspiracy theory anyone?

They haven't gotten us yet. Contrary to some of the many rumors floating around, for now, I am still a free AND alive man. In keeping with our theme of "Truth To The Masses" we need to set a few things straight.

The Baltimore Spectator has not been abducted by aliens, even though I have personally seen many aliens (illegal mexicans), even going as far as inviting them over for tea. Secondly O'Malleys boys or the FedGoons haven't taken me out and cleverly made it look like some kind of accident or suicide. I can assure you I'm happy to be alive and loving life. So if you hear of something like that happening to me, don't buy it!

Hopefully when I hear the stomping, clippety clomping, of O'Malley's marching, jackboots coming, I'll be able to slip out one final post to let you know my fate has met the worse.

This journey begun after A.F. James MacArthur, now Managing Editor, was wrongfully arrested by the Baltimore Police Department while attempting to perform an investigative report. After contacting numerous local media outlets and having none interested in the story; university instructor and retired government scientist T.R. Mencken, decided to launch this blog and tell the story, along with many other stories the media does not want you to know.

MESSAGE TO ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT/INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES

To all those who willfully, deliberately and routinely violate the civil rights of law abiding American Citizens; Yes, you're powerful. Sure, you're everywhere. But this is still America, and the Constitution of the United States Of America still reigns supreme as the law of the land. The Baltimore Spectator will vigorously and aggressively defend against any and all attempts at spying and suppression. Let it be known to all that we are already aware of the regular monitoring and shadowing attempts. There is nothing to hide, but cross the line and there will be hell to pay.

In the end, efforts to impinge upon the freedoms of the people will ultimately fail. Some of us may get taken out in the ongoing battle for true and lasting freedom, but as I've said many times before, and will say till the day I die or get taken out by you goons, THERE ARE MORE OF US, THAN THERE ARE OF YOU.


A.F. James MacArthur -- American patriot & lover of liberty.
