Macon, Georgia Tuesday, 13 Aug 96 1130 hrs ET A Georgia Miltiaman was approached at his workplace by two men claiming they were ATF agents. This Miltiaman was shown (in his words) a "doctored" photograph of himself and the wife of one of the 3 accused in the Starr/McCranie/Spain case in compromising positions. He was then told that he had to testify against all three suspects or they would "see to it" that the accused would be shown the photographs. These alleged agents (they did not show badges or give ID) also waved a video tape in a tape case and told this militiman that they had video surveilance of this militiaman visiting the accused wife several times (i.e., vehicle in front of her house). The Miltiaman in question wants to keep his identity private at this time. However the attorneys and others working on this case have been notified, and will bring this issue to the Federal Court house this a.m. (15 Aug 96) at 1000 hrs ET. This is BLACKMAIL; EXTORTION. Pure and simple. Also... Since the "MOTION FOR NEEDED EVIDENCE", a motion requesting evidence concerning the Olympic Park bombing, by Nancy Lord was filed (those who do not have copy, e-mail to citizen@mindspring.com), at least 3 other persons have been "intimidated" by ATF agents for government testimony. One of the three had never been to a Militia meeting. Bob Starr's rifle (in someone else's possession) has mysteriously disappeared from a residence. It's believed to have been stolen. A police report has been filed. WE FULLY EXPECT THIS HARASSMENT TO GET WORSE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER. Motion hearings begin this a.m. (15 Aug 96). The accused, and the press will be there for this one. We have learned that our shorthand expert has another commitment and cannot attend the trial. If anyone has contact with a shorthand expert, and such an expert can be available for trial, please let us know. We are very low on resources, but will compensate for time in court. This is very important. In this case, transcripts have already been altered or missing. The battle begins September 3rd..... J.J.
