Law Abiding Ohio Resident And Korean War Veteran Has Authorities

Illegally Swarm On His Property Just Hours After He Called President

Bush A Liar On A Local AM Radio Station

 

Greg Szymanski | August 13 2005

 

Although Doug Stout, 77, won't pin illegal entry on his property to

his harsh comments about Bush, but says one thing for sure " I don't

smoke pot and everybody in town knows it. " After hovering over his

property with a helicopter, officers then swarmed on his land, looked

at some shrubbery and then left without any explanation.

 

Don Stout looked up into the Midwestern sky one afternoon two weeks

ago and saw a strange helicopter flying over his five-acre piece of

land in rural Albany, Ohio.

 

Before he knew what happened, the 77-year-old long-time resident,

law-abiding citizen and Korean War veteran had eight law enforcement

officials swarm on his property, checking the place out for marijuana.

 

Never before having a run-in with the law, Stout said the heavy-handed

looking group of law enforcement thugs " came and went without saying a

word " after suspiciously looking at a large bush on his property not

in the slightest bit resembling a pot plant.

 

" I've been here since 1994 and everybody's knows me including the

sheriff. I never smoked marijuana and they know it, but I think they

just like terrorizing people, " said Stout in a telephone conversation

from his rural home, adding he still hasn't received an answer from

anyone why law enforcement officials invaded his privacy and entered

his land without a proper search warrant.

 

" It scared the hell out of me as eight or ten men swarmed my place. I

was weeding my garden and the next thing you know, they were on my

property, looked at this bush and left without saying a word. It was

ridiculous, but the sheriff, the deputy sheriff and the game warden

all raided my place for no reason and I am still looking for an

explanation. "

 

Although Stout can't pinpoint why authorities entered his property

without a warrant, earlier that day he aired his strong opinions

against President Bush, calling him an outright liar, on a free speech

and truth-telling talk radio show on the popular WAIF AM770 local

radio station.

 

Stout said he has been calling in regularly voicing his anti-Bush

opinions, saying people in rural Ohio are finally starting to wake up

to lies, deceit and treachery imposed on the American people by what

he calls a " lying dog of a President.'

 

" I think he and the rest of his buddies are corrupt, down right crazy

and Bush should be impeached plain and simple for lying to the people

about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, " said the former Korean War

veteran, who lashed out at Bush for going to war illegally and in the

process killing thousands of innocent civilians, including more than

1,700 GI's.

 

" I think George Bush is a liar and is personally responsible for the

deaths of many good young men in order that his rich buddies could

profit from this illegal war. "

 

Considering himself a " true American " who honorably fought for his

country and drove a Greyhound bus for many years, the plain speaking

Bush critic thinks America is in a crisis and at the brink of martial

law at the hands of government tyrants bent on destroying the country

from within.

 

" I think we have lost this country and many people feel it's too late

and feel helpless about doing anything about it, " said Stout. " I am

pretty outspoken about a lot of things and it wouldn't surprise me if

another terrorist hits us harder than 9/11, putting the country under

a state of emergency and martial law while at the same time taking the

heat off Bush.

 

" This reminds me of Nazi Germany. The people are being fed propaganda

and in turn the dollar is going to hell as are the rest of our

freedoms. I don't think we should give up our freedoms in order to be

safer, when all the government is trying to do is take us over from

within.

 

" The Founding Fathers would have never stood for what is going on and

would have thrown Bush and his buddies out on their ears. I think the

people of Ohio are starting to wake up and I do not intend to stop

talking about how I feel on that talk radio show. "

 

Besides the strange raid on Stout's property, the radio station giving

the thumbs up to air the controversial truth-telling radio program in

the traditionally conservative heartland also has reported

mysteriously having its transmitter knocked out on two occasions from

" two mysterious bolts of lightening. "

 

Housewife Lauren Dowling, another avid WAIF listener and unofficial

promoter of the truth-telling show that schedules many of the guests

for broadcaster Sharon Elliot and station owner Joe Edwards, isn't

pointing fingers but said this week from her rural home that the two

" bolts of lightening " in the last six weeks was very unusual.

 

Although Elliot and Edwards have been airing a controversial show from

their station headquarters in Nelsonville, Ohio, radio for quite some

time, it hasn't been until recently that they decided to bring on even

more controversial figures like anti-establishment broadcaster Alex

Jones and others to talk the traditionally mainstream audience at WAIF.

 

" And Maureen Jones just came on the other day educating people about

fluoride in the water, which was very interesting, " said Dowling,

adding calls have been coming in from all over the South East quadrant

of Ohio, including parts of West Virginia about the station that has

small town roots but a large broadcast reach.

 

" I thought it was time the people of our community heard the truth

from people like Alex Jones, who by the way, probably shocked a few

listeners, but had a very important message which has been basically

censored by the mainstream press.

 

" I'm just an average Mom, giving out a common sense dose of the truth

to these arrogant leaders.

 

Besides Jones, WAIF is scheduling for future morning shows other

alternative broadcasters and activists basically silenced in rural

America by the Bush propaganda machine and a cooperative press.

 

Plans also include interviewing many people who have had their voices

silenced about 9/11, especially eye-witness, victims and journalists

who have struggled hard to wake up a sleeping country.

 

" It's never too late and people around here are starting to open their

hearts and minds, tuning in to listen and participate, " added Dalling.

 

And Stout, who many people in the community believe had his civil

rights violated by law enforcement officials for voicing his regularly

on WAIF, had one last message to President Bush before getting to the

bottom of why officials illegally swarmed down on his private property:

 

" I don't intend to trade of security for my rights as an American. I

believe we need to take our country back from these thugs and brown

shirts before or jobs, our financial security and our lives are taken

away from us right before our very eyes.

 

" I want the American people to know that a lot of other people here in

Ohio feel like I do and also know the election was stolen by Bush. He

is losing popularity because a lot of people over here are finally

starting to see through his lies, lies that are costing young American

lives every day this illegal war continues. "
