Yes, that was my thoughts..
But the Gov is quick to arrest people on suspicion of terrorism..
Also look at the "no fly list" Thats not freedom..
Hell, I saw a thread here about predictive crimes..
If they find the author and the author serves time in jail (for molesting children, not for writing the manual), then that would indicate to me it's not a false flag operation designed to take away first amendment rights. So let's see if they catch the guy. If it was e-mailed to them, e-mails tend to be traceable. Even an anonymous e-mail account can be linked to an IP after authorities get the proper search warrants and they may have probable cause to go after the author as a probable child molester, even if not as the author of the manual. So let's see if they catch the author and see what they do to him. If he goes to jail it should be for molesting children I don't really think his book should be illegal as it can also be an instruction manual for parents on how to protect their children, if it isn't just the ramblings of some mentally unstable lunatic which it could be.
In a lengthy academic paper, President Obama's regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein, argued the U.S. government should ban "conspiracy theorizing."
Among the beliefs Sunstein would ban is advocating that the theory of global warming is a deliberate fraud. ....
What kind of sick #$%^& psychos sit in some back room NSA office and go "Now how can we further get rid of the 1st amendment?
"i know, let's distribute a 170 page manual on how to molest children. Let's also run a bunch of news stories saying that this manual is out there because of free speech issues and let's pay off the local cops to not arrest our operatives for these obvious crimes. We have to make sure that the manual is so damaging that people will view anyone reading it as a criminal. it must be worse that the video in the movie "The Ring"."
You would think someone in the meeting would say "I think this is an insane plan."
Thanks for sharing the results of your follow-up. This is as I expected, the manual is not illegal because there is no law against it. But I suppose they haven't caught the author yet or he might have mentioned that to you.

Hello, I talked to a local deputy who was very helpful, not long after that, the Sergeant phoned me back.
Edit to add, it is considered a fantasy manual.

I would quite like to see these sickos tied to a large concrete block, being kicked in the nuts with lead boots on. That would be fitting.

I've read through the first 6 pages or so, and if this has been brought up then I apologize.
PLEASE hear me out, before flaming me.
This book should should sell 10's of thousands of copies. Not to pedophiles (even though they'd make up a small percentage of sales) but to parents, grandparents, teachers, whoever wanted to know exactly what points to make their children (or children placed within their care) aware of. Even though this "manual" was in all likelihood "written" (probably in crayon) by a pedophile, it's much more valuable to a parent than a pedophile. A simple scenario. I'm a leader in a battalion in battle...are my battle plans more valuable to my allies or my enemies?
