Date: Sun, 15 Oct 1995 11:00:55 -0700 (MST) From: Second Amendment Is For Everyone <[s--e] at [indirect.com]> To: azrkba , Subject: FBI Called Ernest Hancock: All right! Another notch in my belt. The FBI called the Maricopa County Libertarian Party Number my home Phone number at 9:50am this Sunday morning ( where the number was forwarded to my home ). My wife answered and the agent said, "This is Robert Ott, with the FBI and I got your number from our 1-800 tip # regarding the Amtrak situation....." My wife cut him off and said that she could give him to someone that could help with his questions. I took the phone. He said that he was looking for Mr. Ernest Hancock but had been informed that he had moved to New York. (???????) I said, "This _is_ Mr. Ernest Hancock, your records must have me confused with my father (same name, I'm the third) that moved to N.Y." (Yeah right, 1-800 # my ass). I said, "I some how feel alot better that your information isn't as up to date as expected, how can I help you." He said, "Is your father very active on the internet? (Ding Ding Ding) "Not really, you have the _right_ Hancock, what can I do for you?" He then went on to explain how my name had come from the 1-800 # (Yeeeah) and did I know anything. I gave him the standard Gov't. vs. People thing and that the Mine canaries were starting to drop and unless the gov't. pulls back the less imaginative will resort to more violence. And that there is nothing that I or anyone else can do to stop it or even predict it with any accuracy. All the advice I could give was to expect more of it. He then asked, "Where on the Internet would I look to read about what people are saying about this and other events?" I said, "I'm sure the FBI is already there and know alot more that I could ever tell you, but, if for your personal interest, I would just "log on"... That's all it takes". He asked that I keep the FBI informed of any "activity" I was aware of and that the FBI will be doing a "complete down load" of the net soon to look for info before the Amtrak event. I warned him of alot of work to come. And that the words Amtrak, rail, desert, Arizona, wire, wrench and bolt would be added to the tag of a lot of post to trigger FBI searches for them to plow through. I sincerely said, "I don't envy you your job in these days to come. And I hope the fight for freedom is as non-violent as possible. Please feel free to contact me or other Libertarian Party officials if you think you need something explained to you that you think only we would understand (You never know). After his phone call, I could be certain of a few things. 1) he was polite but in a hurry to make more calls (maybe many) and was not enthusiastic about doing it (it seemed that they had nothing to go on and were resigned to the fact that they were at a dead ends). 2) They _didn't_ get my number from a 1-800 #. 3) They are getting alot of the same info from alot of informed people and are beginning to understand the depth and bridth of the lack of support from the people for the Government and its agencies, even when they feel they are doing their job well. 4) The internet is (for now) totally out of their control :). 5) And that they are going to have to have a personal opinion someday. We can all expect to be under suspicion sooner or later, I just hope individual agents of the government learn some things in their efforts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Second Amendment is For Everyone l Be a S.A.F.E.
