A 27-year-old man was caught with a truck full if fireworks near the nation’s capital on Monday night. But he wasn’t getting ready to put on his own patriotic 4th-of-July show. Instead, the man allegedly was angry with some banks and wanted to draw attention to himself and his grievances:
Glenn Neff, from Florida, was arrested at the Cabin John Regional Park in Bethesda, Md after an officer spotted Neff’s red Jeep Cherokee stopped in an isolated area of the park after it was closed, WTTG-TV reports.
The officer confronted Neff and then found found the vehicle was loaded with fireworks and had been fitted with a turret and multiple PVC tubes to be used in order to launch the fireworks.
Police also found drug paraphernalia and alcohol.
The charges against Neff have not been released.
UPDATE:
A Facebbok page allegedly belonging to Neff could offer some insight into who he is. Although it’s not frequently updated, it appears to show the ramblings of a delusional man. The Bethesda Patch site reports:
On the Facebook page, Neff lists himself as a resident of Stuart, Fla. and lists his college as Stetson University. He posts his political views as Libertarian and his occupation as “Humanity’s last best hope for freedom.”
In a note marked “An Open Letter To My Friends,” Neff writes,
“I have come to the inescapable conclusion that the bankers at the Federal Reserve engineered this financial crisis on purpose. And ladies and gentlemen, I have figured out how to get rid of the ba—rds.”
In a May status update, Neff wrote,
“HAHA!!!! One down . . . 5999 to GO!! A—-les BETTER RUN!”
In a February update, he wrote,
“Notice to the Old World Order: I am coming. I am coming for you and I will spare no one. You have six days left. Make the most of them.”

Speaking of rants…
Over two (2) decades of alphabet-soup visas like H-1b, etc., have decimated the tech sector, and are impacting other U.S. based jobs, such as, nursing, teaching, etc.

Are you the man the article is written about?
That‘s about as disturbed a rant as I’ve heard for a while! Yeah, we really need to make some changes, but try to concentrate, VOTING IS THE BIG THING NOW!! We need to work on a few things at a time, and Fire Works or explosions or even rants (Unless you are on your own radio show and are getting paid for it!) isn’t the way to go about these changes! Lots to be done, but to just carry on like a disturbed person does nothing to convince others because they’re busy looking for escape routes. (Unless you can rant the progs into leaving the country!)

The rabbit hole is deep, and wide spread… I cannot possibly explain just how treasonous these suicidal policies are, and keep this comment brief.
We should also revoke some or all green-cards. Again, a massive number of American jobs would be returned to Americans.
And then there is the issue of sending our jobs offshore, often implemented by those brought to our country on visa, or those having become a green-card holder, who then coordinate the shipping of entire departments, knowledge-bases out of our country, ultimately, entire industries.
Then for the low to medium wage jobs, we can look at the wide-open borders, and the traitors that advocate a nation without enforcement of its own borders, its laws, and disinterest in its own sovereign best-interest, survival.
And yes, it is Americans who have facilitated this betrayal of Americans, by corporations, supported by a sold-out government and press.
Constantly having your leg peed-on, and being told that it is raining, is the insult-to-injury!
The instigators, their apparatchik, the collaborators, the enemy-within, the useful-idiots, are ‘p*ssing’ on our nation’s workforce, and cheap labor, political-correctness, are their weapons of choice.”

Posted on August 23, 2011 at 2:12pmSpeaking of rants…
How, can anyone speak of returning jobs to Americans, while they ignore, or worse, condone, the continued replacement of Americans, in American offices and worksites, with foreign nationals, at a ‘clip of’ hundreds of thousands (we are not told the exact number! more likely, all-told, closer to a million or more…) per year?! (not including out-of-status/illegal…)
There are real solutions, not lies masquerading as same, but few, will even speak of them, let alone…
H-1b, L-1s, OPT, J-1, B-1, lotteries, green-cards, and on and on, and on, and on, it is no longer enough to stand as a nation and compete with the world-at-large, but no, the world at large will be brought to you, so that you may compete with them in your own offices and worksites…
And you will be competing for suppressed wages, and even where qualified, will most likely be cleverly bypassed by the multi-national corporate slave owners, masquerading as U.S., sovereign entities…
We won’t even talk about national security!
In a sane world, visas such as H-1b, (also referred to, incorrectly, as H1b…) L-1, etc., (We can keep the O-1, which was meant for true genius) would be suspended. Millions of our better paying jobs would be instantly made available, in America, for Americans.

Posted on August 23, 2011 at 10:35amBefore anyone gets their knickers in a twist, I am NOT anti-capitalist, I am anti-corruption!!!
I do not condone this idiot, however there ARE many serious problems on Wall Street. Look at the the recent revelations of big banks getting “secret” cash infusions from the Fed. This isn’t something new, stuff like this has been going on for longer than you or I have been alive! Why do you think Ron Paul has been pushing so hard for an audit?
Look at the proportion of donations going to the Dimwitcrats vs. Repubs lately and see the favors they have gotten in return (bailouts). The problem isn’t just R vs. D, it’s honest vs. corrupt, good vs. evil, that is what we have to focus on. The rest is just cake and circuses!!!

Posted on August 23, 2011 at 3:52pmThere is NOTHING wrong with capitalism and the free-market. However, we do not have that. We have over-regulation from whiners over “it’s not fair, what about me?” We have crony capitalism. Before libs start a thought about capitalism, let’s actually try capitalism first; not some chopped up Hegelian matrix. Seriously, wake up. Libs are not intellectual, at all. They don’t have even a remotely good point. What they are is asleep. They are brainwashed little slaves and are a means to an end for the “elite”. Euro-trash libs are learning this now. Libs, college kids, Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims… you are all going to learn this soon when you are no longer needed. You reap what you sew.
