Thanks for the links!

I am sooo ordering me some "badges and forms."

<knock, knock>

"Who's there?"

"FBI!"

"What do you want?"

"I have a search warrant and a warrant for your arrest!"

"No, _I_ have a search warrant and a warrant for _your_ arrest!!"

Oh maaan that sounds terrific. I am going to get me some badges now.

Yes we have to be prepared. One day we could get locked up for still driving an old car.

Can you imagine if we opened our doors and flashed OUR badges? LOL I actually might order one hahahahaha.

Maybe I'll get a badge for my dog, then I'll always have it handy. I doubt I'll have much trouble with these types of characters, though. I don't look so young and naive as I once did, LOL.

That would be pretty funny too:

"We have a warrant!"

"So does my pooch!"

That way, when they shoot your dog, they'll at least be conflicted, if not convicted of shooting a fellow police officer.

Maybe on Halloween! But that Ebay Badge would most assuredly be grounds for "Impersonating A Federal Agent", a felony. A pile of fake dog poop on the Welcome mat would be effective at about the same price also on Ebay!

You are right on both thoughts!

The correct way to present one is to NOT put your image or name onto the card. (I love the idea of putting my dog's likeness and info on it!)

Simply have a card and show it to the "agents", stating, "These costume badges are cheap and easy to get. This one is from eBay -- Where did you buy yours?"

Jenna, this is such an important post. It is vital to know one's rights and stand one's ground. And yes, it's a thing, people who are up to no good pretending to be cops. And some cops aren't exactly angels, either, alas.

Yes especially in our current deceptive environment. People who are hateful to you can easily send uncle Freddie and his beer buddy out to your house to intimidate you for a bit, a bullying tactic. But it’s also just as likely that the real feds are testing the waters in the new censorship world we live in. Let’s show em how hot those waters are!

Hey Transcriber B your work is so important.

Can i ask why you don't have your Substack likes, comments and restack turned on?

Transcriber B's avatar

Hi Jack, in answer to your question: one reason, not the only one, but the most important one, why I do not have a comments section is that many of the testimonies are extremely personal and painful for those sharing them, and I felt that they deserved the dignity of their testimony standing alone, as is. No spam, no political this or that, no snark, no judgy stuff, no etc & etc, just their testimony.

If someone feels the need to communicate with me about any given transcript, they can, my contact information is not hidden. I also always provide the link to the source video, and more often than not, a reader who feels so moved can easily go and offer comment there.

I include a share button on my Substack posts, so people can hit the share button if they feel so moved. I do typically get a few restacks with each post. But I'm not all that interested in my Substack stats. I'm doing this for the historical record primarily.

I recommend to anyone to look into “first amendment auditors” on YouTube, James Madison Audits. He is a former police officer now taking the police to task. If you can handle an extreme version, look into Delete Lawz. These guys find the tyranny that is growing in American policing, where lower IQ is actually the ideal. First amendment audits is another good search. The auditors know the laws and the constitution and are the bane of police officers who simply follow orders.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is what I love from you. I knew you’d nail it. 👏👏😂 Brilliant.

The Etsy search warrant scares me. I think I’ll plan on calling 911 and demanding they send an officer to authenticate the charade before I let them in.

I had no idea his group said that about Kamala in a post. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I never saw it! But it certainly isn’t worse than what they say every time Trump is shot at. And we never hung a bloody severed head of her online. Can you imagine what they would do if we did?! But they did that with Trump’s head. I will NEVER forget.

Anywayyyy, what a wonderful article. We need classes we can take to help us practice in role plays. 🤣 “Get The F Outta Here” only $79.99

Did you read "Second Smartest Guy In The World" about how much bullshit the second assassination attempt moron did and got away with for years?

It appears only conservative people get in trouble for trying to be "American Heroes" and telling the truth.

It doesn't matter if they are really FBI any more because some of them are not to be trusted.

I watched them in a video murder a Mormon Minister in Oregon in the snow and get away with it.

I believe he was targeted by the government for a good fictional novel he wrote and published.

I haven't trusted the Government since they murdered JFK and covered the whole thing up "self investigating"!

I don't even believe in any conspiracy theories because they are all becoming FACTS!

I have retired LEO Friends that say they will go down shooting if the ,"guvmint" comes calling!

I, like you Jenna, would acquiesce out of pure obedience, so I am very grateful to you for showing us just how this should go. I happen to live in rural Texas, so the odds are I won't ever encounter this, but these days, one can never be sure who or what is lurking just around the new world order corner.

I used to live in a rough neighborhood of a rough city when I attended university and it was always the kids from the rural areas who got robbed & etc. because they were so trusting. Other common victims were kids, especially boys, from well-off suburbs-- they were the ones who didn't want to walk across the street to avoid someone who gave off skanky vibes because they didn't want to be considered prejudiced and/or they refused to be in any way inconvenienced.

I mean, I know several people who saw the guy who robbed them with a gun or knife from 2 blocks away and yet, they had kept walking right towards him!

How do you know a person might rob you from 2 blocks away? Well, there's the skanky vibes. Secondly, they walk slowly, like they're not sure exactly where they're going. Because what they're really doing is looking / waiting / hunting for their victim.

PS Rural Texas, that seems to me a very good place to be living right now.

I have a very basic intercom and security camera hooked to my computer. So here we go.

Me: May I help you?

FIB: Are you Martin M$$$$$?

Me: Do you have an appointment?

FIB: No. We just want to talk to you.

Me: Who are you and who do you represent?

FIB: We’re FIB agents. We just want to talk….🐂💩🐂💩🤔

Me: My first open appointment is available on Inauguration Day 2025. Would you like to meet then?

Daaaaamn, that was epic!! I hope that I can call on my inner bad ass if I were in a similar situation.

Recording is a must. Then I like to think that I would run to my garage to grab one of the kid's kites so I can tell them to go fly it as I politely hand the kite to the tax demons before closing my front door.

To be determined, but you'll be one of the first ones I tell Jenna.

When they come with a warrant, isn’t it usually in the middle of the night while you’re sleeping, by way of a battering ram, and guns drawn? THAT’S how you know the warrant and badges are authentic (sorry to say not really sarcasm).

Two words: Probable cause. Mr. or Ms. Badge better have probable cause to flash their credentials (fake or real) at me and demand information. Skip compliance altogether. I take my cue from felines. I do what I want when I want. Cats rule.
