Now The Truth Comes Out..
I was supposed to be sentenced in May 2006 for a "crime" I was supposed to have committed at the Reno Gun Show. This "crime" has never been properly explained or argued against (see Summary).
As I won't fly (I detest the Fascists complete control of our airports and airlines and their Nazi-like attitudes and actions against us citizens) so my wife and I headed South in our car to drive the 1,000 miles to Reno for my sentencing. A couple hundred miles into the trip, my Reno attorney (I mean "Reno Plea Bargainest") telling me that I had been granted another 6 months freedom for the chance to work with a new office within the FBI.
I have extensive knowledge of internet procedure and how to manipulate the internet so as to find certain types of REAL criminals (hackers, ID thieves, etc.). These people destroy thousands of lives, credit histories and steal from anyone they please (we had over $7,000 ripped off from my company a couple of years ago by identity thieves).
Basically, I was attached to a Mid West office of the FBI (via telephone only) and told to "go get'em tiger!". The whole operation was funded by me with no outside help. I was NOT working for the FBI: I was an independent operative and had two goals:
1) To locate a potential criminal and gather enough evidence against him that the FBI would then conduct an investigation against said criminal, and
2) To pull a big enough "rabbit outta the hat" to justify the Feds into lowering my "crime" from a felony to either a misdemeanor or even drop the charges all together.
To this end I have worked my butt off in any spare time I had, when I wasn't working my butt off trying to make a living. I have found at least a dozen very prolific hackers and as many websites that promote, condone and participate in hacking other websites, banks, government institutions (I even found one place where a couple of guys were bragging about hacking into the FBI's website - and they even showed proof!), stealing passwords for on-line banking institutions (Bank of America, Wells Fargo, PayPal, Ebay and hundreds of others) and, last but not least, hackers who have broken the passwords and cracked the codes for millions of dollars of programs, including the new Windows Vista, and I have forwarded all this data to my contact in the Midwest FBI office.
Nothing. Nada. Zip.
Even though I have found and reported what I felt was legitimate criminal activity, I have not heard about anything to lead me to believe that anything is even being done about it.
And now I know why.
To tell the next part of the story, you'll need some background on me which I've heretofore left out.
My Recent (15 years) History
I started my firearms career (never mind all the schooling, I just want to start from about when I started making money as a gunsmith) as a "corporate gunsmith". Importers would bring in thousands of collectable handguns (my speciality) and give them to me. I would inspect, clean and repair thousands of semiauto pistols and revolvers a month (yes, I'm that good) so they can be sold with little or no possibility of malfunction. I did this for about 1 year in the Glendale area of Southern California.
At this point I discovered that my Brother (who lived in Modesto California) was having severe health problems. We moved, kit ‘n caboodle, to Modesto. I talked my Brother into joining me in business, wherein we repaired and refinished thousands of firearms, and sold them at gunshows (yes, we were fully licenced). After a year, we had to move into a larger building at 8th and K streets in downtown Modesto.
During the 10 years I was in business in Modesto, I became very well known in the political circles. I made an enemy of Congressman Gary Condit, when I asked him "why did you lie to me?" on a live radio program.
He had made a special trip, a few months before the famous Brady Bill was voted on (with HIM as the deciding vote that past that disgusting law), to visit me in my office, as I was the local NRA recruiter at the time, where he stated "I love guns and would never vote for gun control". He went ape on the air, claiming he had "never even heard of me" even though I had pictures of him with me IN my office.
My Brother went on to run against that bastard in a future election and almost won.
By creating my own style of radio commercials, I took a nothing radio station in Modesto to #1 in it's spot. I participated in hundreds of radio talk shows: I debated the Assistant Director of Handgun Control Inc on the radio, and wiped him out.
I recorded hundreds of ads and political spots during that time.
I started the "Friends of the NRA" as I saw a need for local representation for the NRA.
I founded the Stanislaus County Militia (2,600 members), which was under the control of the Stanislaus County Sheriff and the Mayor of Modesto.
I've also been writing on the internet under the name of "The Gunrunner" for almost 10 years. (You can see what I mean by going to archives of that old site here) I had to shut that site down as it keep mysteriously crashing.
I became a "possible domestic terrorist". That means, any American who exhibits the same beliefs as our Founding Fathers did: thirst for freedom, equality, justice, peace and the willingness to stand up to corruption and government abuse and to dare speak their mind. This made me a threat to the Fascist, Corporate-controlled Federal Government. I became "watched".
I had the IRS, California Franchise Tax Board, The California Dept. of Justice, the California Attorney General, and numerous other government agencies investigate me and my business, Survival Enterprises. They were all "sure" that I had to be doing something illegal, and if they could just find out what that was, they could shut me up.
They all failed. There was simply nothing they could, or would, find.
All true Americans have become "Enemies of the State", or (as King George the Bush II calls it "Homeland"). You should see the Government's Watch List: I have and it scares me when I saw that the Boy Scouts are on that list!
Now we're up to 1998. Calif. Atty General Dan Lundgren has just announced that he will be running for the California Governorship. We, in the Conservative party, know him as a self-serving, back stabbing politician, so I launch a private investigation into his background to see what right he has, if any, to serve as my Governor.
Within a week of doing so I am informed by a leading law enforcement officer (for his safety he must remain anonymous) that the Atty. General is trumping up felony charges against me to shut me up during the election.
To remove any temptation for seizure, I sell my business (legitimately) to my Brother and my family and I move to Reno, Nevada. I immediately file a lawsuit against Dan Lundgren, claiming "Abuse of Power" and violation of my Civil Rights. I hire a weasel of a lawyer in Modesto who basically jerks me around with lies almost till the election. I fire him, take the case on myself, and WIN within a few weeks. I then post the Court's findings as to the Corruption of Dan Lundgren on the internet.
Lundgren "magically" loses his bid for Governorship of California. Coincidentally, within the next few months, I have three attempts against my life in Reno. Two bombs and one hit man with a pistol (who I tazered, stripped naked and handcuffed to a telephone pole in the alley, then called the cops anonymously). I thought it high time to leave, so we moved to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
There we reopened Survival Enterprises, selling/repairing firearms and doing our Health business (http://www.se1.us) Now we're up to the year 2000.
I had a very good friend, Mel Bishop (world famous M1 Garand collector). He had just bought the old AMT Firearms Company from Covina, California. He had moved it to South Dakota. He was interested in selling off the handgun division of AMT and wondered if I was interested. I told him I had to think about it.
I had met this guy, Jay Emde, the owner of Dalphon Firearms in Shelton, Washington. He had been manufacturing AR15 rifles since 1999 and had a decent rep with my Brother. I contacted Jay about a joint venture wherein we made and sold the line of AMT firearms under my wife's Manufacturing license (Angie's Arsenal). He agreed, so in March of 2001, my wife and I drove to Sturgis, South Dakota and bought well over 6 tons of AMT parts and hauled them back home to CDA.
Within a few months of setting up the parts in my back warehouse, I realized that Jay was losing interest in the project. He wouldn't return my calls, and I was to busy to screw around so I let it drop. The next thing I know I'm hearing stories about how Jay has not only been screwing customers, but also some little bimbo from his bank.
He was not even hiding his affair from his beautiful wife. His infidelity and criminal business practices lead to the destruction of Dalphon Firearms. Luckily, I hadn't really lost any money, just that now I had no one to help me with the AMT business, so I started just selling off the parts, with most of the inventory going to gunpartscorp.com
During this time, I heard through a friend that Jay had been arrested and a search had turned up over 300 illegal, unlicensed silencers and machine guns in his house and business. I was also warned that the (and I quote) "little piece of **** was narking on anybody who had ever done business with him!". I didn't think I had anything to worry about as I had done nothing illegal. How wrong I was.
Apparently, Jay had informed the Feds that "Kurt Wilson was a major buyer for his silencers/machine guns" and, not really caring whether or not that was true, decided to launch a more thorough investigation on me (the ATF had tried twice to set me up and dropped the tries both times as they discovered I wasn't going to do anything illegal).
Putting together the facts that I was already on Uncle Sam's Watch List and the false report from that POS Jay Emde, the ATF, FBI, Fatherland Security, CDA PD, Kootenai County Sheriff, Spokane Special Anti Terrorist Task Force decided that the ends justified the means, so they had the ATF agent (see my Summary page) Jason Force "mislead" the Grand Jury into getting a search warrant to my place of business in CDA wherein, THEY WERE SURE, they'd find hundreds of illegal silencers and machine guns.
At the same time in Reno, the ATF was setting me up to (THEY WERE SURE) buy the 50 or so illegal silencers/machine guns two guys I had known for over 3 years as legitimate gun dealers in Reno (they had told us they even had a store in Reno and had given us cards and, I thought, their FFL license) were showing me in their warehouse.
Earlier, when they had approached me in the gun show, they had told me they had lots of "stuff" that I could resell in Idaho. They named off a bunch of guns and silencers and I (thinking everything was legal) told them to just bring the stuff in tomorrow and I'll look then. I also said the only thing I was really interested in was a 1944 Grease Gun for my collection. They claimed "too much trouble to bring all that in and I should just meet them tonight" and "I think we have one of those too" (meaning the Grease Gun). I agreed to meet them after dinner that night, Friday, April 23.
I followed them to their warehouse later that night, wherein I was shown lots of silencers and machine guns. I told them I wasn't interested in any of that stuff but I wanted the Grease Gun (which they had shown me - it looked unfired and a perfect addition to any museum quality collection). I told them I would need to properly paper it and for them to bring it in to me, in the gun show, tomorrow. They said no, just take it with you. The one agent took it apart, put it in a ammo can and put it in my truck. I got in the truck to leave and was surrounded by Reno SWAT and lots of yelling and guns in my face. Obviously, I offered no resistance.
The ATF agent (see my Summary page) was rather upset that I hadn't taken all the stuff, just the one gun, but he felt that was enough to cower me into doing his bidding. He wanted me to "name names" of various people who were known as "anti-government criminals" and if I supplied any of them with firearms. He rattled off a list of names and I told him the truth: my memory sucks so show me pictures and I might help. That pretty much pissed him off and he went on and on about "knowing that I'm a big dealer in illegal stuff".
During this BS session, he received a call from ATF agent Force in CDA telling him that they were about to open my safes inside my store they had just broken into. I shocked him by offering the combinations so they wouldn't burn a hole in them.
After realizing their ploy and attempt to frame me failed, they ordered me home to CDA, so we left.
This brings us up to 2003.
Based on the false reports by the scum Jay Emde, I was targeted and attacked by too many law enforcement agents to list. I've had various meetings with other law enforcement agents since then (U.S. Probation Dept, FBI, CDA PD plus others) and, TO THIS DAY, they all still think that I am, or have been, somehow connected with various criminal elements in the North West, and that I have sold "them" (whoever the hell THEM is) illegal items, and that I'm just continuing to lie to everyone about my associations with said criminals.
It seems that, once you've been "marked" by the Feds, even the truth won't change it.
Now to the bottom line
The Feds couldn't care less that I actually didn't do what they thought I did, or that I have no clue who this "them" is that they want info on. They have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to convict me legitimately and couldn't. They MUST justify their waste of Taxpayers money - they need a conviction so they won't look so inept and incompetent. So they had me threatened and told that my wife and son WILL be in danger unless I agree to a felony charge.
When I first met with the Assistant U.S. Attorney Nancy Cook in CDA, she told me "we really don't need to go through all this. Just agree to a small felony and it can all be over" and the idiot I had as a lawyer up here then, agreed with her. Apparently, she and the Reno U.S. Attorney were working in cahoots with each other, even though they were adamant that these were two separate actions. So they lied to me - what's new?
So, to make the ledger book come out in favor of some government bureaucrat, I've had over $75,000 of collectable firearms stolen from me in Reno (and I was given no chance to get them back);
I've had my 20 year old family business totally destroyed, including my Son's future career;
I've had my family name slandered and besmirched;
I've lost over 50% of my income;
My wife, my Son and myself live in dread and fear and have forgotten what a "happy day" means, and all I have to look forward to is being forever under the watchful eye of the Feds by being labeled a "felon".
I don't know if that POS Jay Emde still lives at 1120 W. Railroad Ave or 1350 E. Shelton Springs Road in Shelton, Washington, but he was sent to prison and is now out. His wife, for some moronic reason of her own, has taken him back and they run a junk yard there.
I guess his lies allowed the Federal Government to destroy enough innocent lives to shorten his sentence to just a few years.
So here I sit. Waiting to be sentenced sometime in March (or so) of 2007, just because of lies certain people in power were foolish enough to believe.
But this couldn't ever happen in America!
