(25,771 posts)Wilhelmsens vile diatribe was removed, either by Facebook or himself, but now he is back with a different strategy to oust the black president he despises.
On a new Facebook page called Reward For Capture Of Obama, Wilhelmsen is literally offering a significant bounty to anyone who can kidnap President Obama and permanently remove him from the presidency. The page banner features an image of President Obama with the words, Hes not my president, nor is he yours.

For all I know, that Facebook page is flypaper, designed to attract and locate other wackos. I have no idea. The Secret Service doesn't really publicize its activities.

I assume that everything you write is your opinion. You should assume that of my posts as well. That's why I added the disclaimer to my signature line.

(17,651 posts)If true, there are some seriously stupid people landing on it and hopefully getting monitored and perhaps a few nonsocial visits from some folks dressed in suits.
MineralMan
(146,286 posts)every time I've reported some website or Facebook page to the Secret Service, I've gotten an email saying they were already aware of it. I do send such reports when I encounter something that looks like a threat. So far, I've never been the first to do so. I'll keep trying, though.
We really only see the public face of the Secret Service's Presidential Protection Unit. We see the agents with the President wherever he goes. What is going on in the background isn't really public information, though. It's a Secret. There's a reason for that.
I do know that the Secret Service evaluates many, many threats. How they do that isn't something I know.

How can I report a threat towards a protectee?
Contact your nearest U.S. Secret Service field office which is listed in the "Emergency Numbers" section in the front of most phone books.
The Secret Service is interested in legitimate information relating to threats, plans or attempts by individuals, groups or organizations to harm Secret Service protectees. However, the agency does not desire or solicit information pertaining to individuals or groups expressing legitimate criticism of, or political opposition to, the policies and decisions of the government or government officials.
LiberalLovinLug
(14,173 posts)Not only that FB left them alone, but their screeching creed that never once details just HOW President Obama is destroying the Constitution (for example). Its astounding how hollow and baseless charges with no actual factual examples of behaviour to back them up are shared by so many. One line on there is that America is a nation of laws...so what actual law did Obama break? And one apparently that deserves "permanent removal"?

This is after we had 8 years of an installed president who could not have been elected dog catcher if his last name was Smith rather than Bush - and I saw nothing like this during his two illicit terms.

This makes me ill. I worry for the entire family...such lovely people.

Dreamer Tatum
(10,926 posts)I'm asking an actual question, which has an actual answer.
My gut says this is absolutely grounds for being charged with something, but I tend to live in the actual
world, not the butthurt one. Can this guy be charged with a crime?
MineralMan
(146,286 posts)He avoids making direct threats against the President that he has any capability of carrying out. It takes a direct threat to violate the laws against threatening the President. Some people have been arrested and charged with that, but I haven't followed the disposition of their cases, so I can't say if they're in prison.
Idiots like this moron, though, do go on the Secret Service's list and are evaluated for the level their nonsense actually poses any real risk to the President. If the threat isn't credible and direct, it doesn't seem like arrests and prosecutions take place. That's just my opinion, though, based on what I've observed. Every President gets threats and incitements to threaten. I suppose that's always been true. Most of the Secret Service is involved in evaluating such possibilities. We only see the public face, in the special agents who are visible around the President. Lots more is going on, though.
Dreamer Tatum
(10,926 posts)I'm the one who doesn't think much of the WH intruder, but on the other hand THIS is some serious shit.
I am sure the FBI has eyeballs on this turd with a green light to "act" if he gives the slightest provocation.
MineralMan
(146,286 posts)the Secret Service is doing about this person. Along with some of those who have posted on his Facebook page and elsewhere. They do keep lists of these morons.
My guess is that this Wilhelmsen guy is some sour, bitter, sorry old fart, holed up in his house in front of his computer. He vents his hatred and spleen on the Internet, but is likely afraid to even go outside of his house. That's my guess. He's no doubt been closely interviewed by the Secret Service on at least one occasion and has received some pointed advice about the limits of the Secret Service's patience with him. That's my opinion, as well.
The SS does arrest presidential threateners from time to time, when they are considered a credible risk.

He makes his money by lying to ignorant Americans trying to get them to vote his way in elections. Assassination of his Bogey Man removes the main reason to hire him. No hire, no money. Luntz doesn't afford stay at the Waldorf Astoria by writing bumper stickers.

(8,127 posts)Everest Wilhelmsen
September 5 at 12:37pm · Edited ·

I'm NOT joking and NOT lying: Our family saw this living T-rex 45 years ago in the jungle of southern Malaysia. We were driving south on the east coast of Malaysia through the jungle on this little road (wide enough for one car), returning form having seen the largest turtles in the world (leather backs) lay their eggs on the northern beaches of eastern Malaysia. There are dinosaurs in Malaysia -- they are not extinct !!! I can say that, because I saw a living one UP CLOSE !!!
In 2005 large footprints were found in the Jahor Bahru (Koto Tinggi) area. They must be the footprints of these dinosaurs. We were near the east coast and above the last fishing village when we saw it, possibly on the border of Jahor Bahru and its neighboring state. After seeing the T-rex we asked at that last fishing village about it. They did not know what we were talking about. They told us that they are fishermen and do not go in the jungle.
The head of the T-rex we saw was above the grass. A swath of jungle had been cut for this little road (probably a preliminary road and a larger road exists there today) and where the jungle had been cut the grass had grown very high. Some people in Malaysia say they have seen a very large (Bigfoot) monkey. My family, however, saw a green dinosaur !!! I have an excellent memory and have drawn the picture below. It looks exactly like this. http://www.cryptozoonews.com/true-giants-2014/

(53,661 posts)The problem, from what I understand, is that Everest Wilhelmsen doesn't live in the United States, but currently lives in Germany. Which may be why the Secret Service hasn't paid him a visit.
Though living overseas trying to forment the overthrow of the US Government sounds a lot like sedition to me...

Complaints could be sent to the government over in Germany, who will likely protect him like one of their own native sons...
