FBI raids home of Catholic pro-life speaker, author with guns drawn as his terrified kids watch<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The following comment has nothing to do with the abortion issue. It is just a statement of the facts of the law. Here is what I have uncovered that is kept hidden from the general public:  According to the highest courts, there are citizens of the states in each state and citizens of the United States [ fed gov ] in the states. The current federal courts that issue these warrants and also the FBI are constitutionally forbidden to in any way interfere with the lives of the people that are only citizens of a state while not in a federal area. This man is in fact, only a citizen of this state, which makes the FBI’s actions a crime against him. Only the country sheriff has any lawful authority to arrest him and even then, the matter is a state one in which it can only be tried in a judicial court – one that is specifically created by his state’s constitution.. You cannot trust attorneys because most are completely ignorant of this and the rest are corrupt.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUCKS COUNTY, Pennsylvania \u2013 A well-known pro-life author, sidewalk counselor, and father of seven was the latest victim of a U.S. Department of Justice-sponsored SWAT raid and arrest \u2014 for supposed \u201cFACE Act<\/a>\u201d violations \u2014 at his rural home as his children looked on \u201cscreaming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Houck<\/a> is the founder and president of The King\u2019s Men<\/a>, which promotes healing for victims of pornography addiction and promotes Christian virtues among men in the United States and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to his wife Ryan-Marie, who spoke with LifeSiteNews, he also drives two hours south to Philadelphia every Wednesday to sidewalk council for six to eight hours at two different abortion centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan-Marie, who is a homeschool mother, explained the SWAT team of 25 to 30 FBI agents swarmed their property with around 15 vehicles at 7:05 a.m. this morning. Having quickly surrounded the house with rifles in firing position, \u201cthey started pounding on the door and yelling for us to open it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before opening the door, she explained, her husband tried to calm them, saying, \u201c\u2018Please, I\u2019m going to open the door, but, please, my children are in the home. I have seven babies in the house.\u2019 But they just kept pounding and screaming,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he opened the door, \u201cthey had big, huge rifles pointed at Mark and pointed at me and kind of pointed throughout the house,\u201d Ryan-Marie described.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they came in, they ordered the kids to stay upstairs. \u201cOur staircase is open, so [the kids] were all at the top of the stairs which faces the front door, and I was on the stairs as well, coming down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe kids were all just screaming. It was all just very scary and traumatic,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After asking them why they were at the house, the agents said they were there to arrest Mark. When Ryan-Marie asked for their warrant, \u201cthey said that they were going to take him whether they had a warrant or not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Ryan-Marie protested, saying that is kidnapping, \u201cyou can\u2019t just come to a person\u2019s house and kidnap them at gunpoint,\u201d they agreed to get the warrant for her from one of their vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Mark asked her to get him a sweatshirt and his rosaries, but when she returned, they already had loaded him into a vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They provided the first page of the warrant and said they were taking him to \u201cthe federal building in downtown Philadelphia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter they had taken Mark, and the kids were all screaming that he was their best friend, the [FBI agents on her porch] kind of softened a bit. I think they realized what was happening. Or maybe they actually looked at the warrant,\u201d Ryan-Marie explained. \u201cThey looked pretty ashamed at what had just happened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the homeschool mother said her kids were \u201creally sad and stressed. So, I\u2019ve already reached out to some psychiatrists or psychologists to try and help us through this. I don\u2019t really know what\u2019s going to come of it when you see guns pointed at your dad and your mom in your house when you first wake up in the morning,\u201d she lamented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The warrant<\/a> charged Mark with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, due to a claimed \u201cATTACK OF A PATIENT ESCORT.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan-Marie stated this charge comes from an incident that had already been thrown out of the District Court in Philadelphia but was somehow picked up by Merrick Garland\u2019s<\/a> Department of Justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On several occasions when Mark went to sidewalk counsel last year, he took his eldest son, who was only 12 at the time, she explained. For \u201cweeks and weeks,\u201d a \u201cpro-abortion protester\u201d would speak to the boy saying \u201ccrude \u2026 inappropriate and disgusting things,\u201d such as \u201cyou\u2019re dad\u2019s a fag,\u201d and other statements that were too vulgar for her to convey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeatedly, Mark would tell this pro-abortion man that he did not have permission to speak to his son and please refrain from doing so. And \u201che kept doing it and kind of came into [the son\u2019s] personal space\u201d obscenely ridiculing his father. At this point, \u201cMark shoved him away from his child, and the guy fell back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe didn\u2019t have any injuries or anything, but he tried to sue Mark,\u201d and the case was thrown out of court in the early summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the Biden administration has taken power in January 2021, Garland\u2019s Department of Justice and the FBI have committed dozens of SWAT team raids that have been characterized as a political \u201cweaponization\u201d of the federal agencies against pro-lifers,<\/a> Trump supporters, conservative Christians<\/a>, and medical freedom advocates<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, in contrast<\/a> to left-wing rioters who caused enormous damage in cities across the nation in 2020, and the vandals<\/a> who have attacked dozens of pro-life centers this year with little or no legal ramifications, the Department of Justice implemented the harshest of consequences for those they identified as having anything to do with the disturbance at the Capital on January 6, 2021. These actions have included<\/a> early morning SWAT team arrests, ransacked homes, confiscation of property, indefinite pre-trial solitary confinement without bail in a dedicated D.C. prison, significant physical abuse, and the violation of the Constitutional right to a speedy trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March, the FBI rounded up<\/a> 10 pro-life activists, including Joan Andrews Bell, with SWAT team raids that serve to intimidate and humiliate the accused through an exercise of excessive force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A surfaced video<\/a> of one of these raids shows armed agents holding pro-lifers at gunpoint and ordering them to put their hands up, drop to their knees and scoot backward out their front door in the middle of the night. The pro-lifers are respectful and compliant throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the FBI\u2019s unprecedented August 8 raid<\/a> on President Donald Trump\u2019s Mar-A-Lago home, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called<\/a> it \u201canother escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime\u2019s political opponents.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon after Joe Biden\u2019s September 1 speech where he declared war on conservative Christians<\/a>, dozens of Trump allies had their homes raided by the FBI, which Steve Bannon referred<\/a> to as \u201ca Gestapo tactic,\u201d and said it was \u201call about intimidation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the raid on the Houck residence this morning, however, local pro-life advocates don\u2019t seem to be intimidated, but energized. In addition to sponsoring a fundraiser for this family<\/a>, they will be holding a prayer rally at the \u201cPhiladelphia Women\u2019s Center\u201d abortion facility at 777 Appletree St. from 10:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday, September 24. All are invited to come and pray peacefully<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
