There’s an old saying about the process being the punishment, and there’s a fair amount of truth to it. Many proceedings that may not actually result in someone going to jail can ruin a person who did nothing wrong. It’s not necessary to send someone to prison to destroy their life and punish them for any number of things.
And when you’re a vocal critic of the powers that be, well, it’s hard not to view some actions of those powers that be as an example of using the process as a punishment.
Additionally, some individuals can direct the authorities toward people who they disagree with or simply dislike in various ways. The process is called Swatting, where someone claims someone is killing and threatening people, thus prompting law enforcement to send a SWAT team. This can and has resulted in people being killed, but it doesn’t universally take this form. It can simply be a false “tip” that prompts police to investigate someon.
That’s what one Baltimore gun rights advocate claims happened to him.
A federal raid at the Baltimore home of a gun rights activist ended with no arrests, charges or weapons confiscations, leaving the local advocate wondering if the action was intended to intimidate lawful Black gun owners.
ATF agents announced themselves to Mark “Choppa” Manley and his family by tossing a flashbang into his living room and ordering everyone out at gunpoint during the predawn search days before Thanksgiving.
Hours later — after Mr. Manley said agents flipped his house upside down and checked the serial numbers on several of his firearms — authorities only took one of his cell phones for evidence.
The 35-year-old activist, who has brought together hundreds of gun owners for his “Choppa Days” events through social media, said the raid was based on “bad intel” from someone in Southern Maryland who told the feds he was involved in weapons and drug trafficking.
The ATF’s Baltimore Field Office told The Washington Times the search warrant is under seal and it has no comment on the case, but Mr. Manley said his phone was returned last week and he still hasn’t heard about any possible criminal action from his lawyer or authorities.
“I do feel like I was targeted. I do feel like the amount of guns I have made me a target and [put] me on their radar,” Mr. Manley told The Times. “Especially being a minority from the inner city.” […]

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
