Jeff Weinhaus was literally "railroaded" by corrupt officials when he was charged with trespassing for merely walking over the railroad tracks in the small Missouri town of about 8,000 he calls home.

And with bogus charges being leveled against this innocent American, he becomes a perfect example of the fascist American military system "gone hog wild," as well as becoming another in growing list of political prisoners in the American gulag system.

While innocent citizens are being nailed left and right in all parts of the country for harmless things like speaking out at city council meetings, putting up anti-Bush posters and talking against the illegal Iraqi War, Weinhaus now joins the list of imprisoned Americans for simply walking across railroad tracks.

And in the shocking case of Weinhaus, who ran for sheriff on the ticket of "justice for all and not 'just us,' the railroad trespassing charge was just the beginning of his problems that have now escalated from a misdemeanor to a serious felony.

Not only was Weinhaus fingered for a bogus crossing the railroad tracks trespassing charge, but the local activist trying to clean-up corruption was then beat-up and manhandled by police after being handcuffed to a chair at police headquarters.

But instead of out-of-control officers being nailed for abuse of authority, they turned the tables on him, lying about the incident and charging him with felony assault.

And to add injury to insult at a recent May hearing on the charges, Weinhaus was ordered to take a state sponsored psych evaluation where he then spent 13 days in custody, the judge claiming he was delusional for saying America was "turning into a police state at the hands of the New World Order."

"I am pretty well known in my town for trying to make people aware of how they are losing their rights," said Weinhaus Wednesday on Greg Szymanski's radio show, The Investigative Journal. "I ran for sheriff and then for alderman and I am positive the election was stolen from me by the Masons in this town. It's either their way or no way and I am living proof of that.

"I was walking across the railroad tracks with my two children when I was arrested for trespassing. The at the station after I was talking to the officers and handcuffed to a chair, I was assaulted by them, punched in the face four times, thrown to the floor and then taken to the hospital.

"Although I never laid a hand on the officers, later I found out I was charged with felony assault. I am now facing felony charges and it is related to my activism, as well as running on a ticket for sheriff that seeks justice for all not 'just us.' I've also spent 13 days in custody for a psych evaluation and they have shut down my web site as well as turning my wife against me.

"But this is how the military state of America operates now and it is going to get worse. Look at what happened to me and that is why I want to speak and warn others if we don't stop the fascism now, what happened to me is going to happen to hundreds of thousands of others across the country."

Weinhaus began his activism about 10 years ago when he realized before many of his peers that something was going terribly wrong in America.

Being the type that takes action, he started a small newspaper called The Bulletin where he began exposing local corruption in Illinois and Missouri. From publishing, Weinhaus turned his attention to running for office, first for sheriff and then alderman, but losing both times in what he calls "fixed elections."

Since being charged on a felony, Weinhaus remains working for his family's auto salvage business, but refused to bow down or be silenced by corrupt officials.

"The American people need to get off their duffs and take back their country, starting at the local level," said Weinhaus. "it doesn't take as much as most people think. For example, in my community there are about 60 people controlling everything. We simply need to replace this corrupted authority with good people, but we can't wait any longer or we will lose the country.

"We are now in a military state and I am living proof. Look what they have done, but I will never be silenced. If God is on my side, then I know I can never be harmed.

Since being released from custody, Weinhaus has had his web site dismantled and his next court appearance on the felony assault charge is scheduled for June 22.

He is presently looking for a patriot lawyer to assist him in is legal affairs and he can be contacted at bulletinman@hotmail.com
