When the Freedom of Information Act was passed in the late 1970s, You could order your own heavily redacted FBI file.

So, if I thank you for a post, will the FBI open a file on me?
I'd hate to think that some poor FBI agent is dragging around a Banker's Box full of "thank" references made by a nice, old, healthcare-card-carrying Canadian woman.

I did go to the UK in the mid 90's and had trouble entering the country,in the form of filling out papers of my movements,we had a round the world ticket,flying in and out of England My GF just walked through customs,but I kept getting pulled up,in the end I got jack of it and asked the guy why was I being stopped,his response was,"I dont know what you did,but they stamped your passport in a way that,they wanna know where your staying all the time" I ended up thinking they must know I had been a supporter of the IRA and that was before the internet. In the US,they seem to think I'm an international drug dealer,LOL.I have NO idea why!!!!!!!

Yeah Vincent, it may well have been the IRA support.
By the time I was tagged as an IRA sympathizer, college major had been Marxist Studies, went to Greensboro rally in which many different factions of The Fourth International had marched (not speaking one another as usual) lol. There were people who bussed in from all over the US. Feds were on top of buildings snapping pictures and with automatics trained on the protest. Tension was palpable, and violence anticipated. Political activity could be traced back to the Right to Choose Movement and failed ERA work in '76. I started young with a mom, who was Republican, volunteered with League of Women Voters, born in the year women got the vote, who taught about the importance of being active. She was disapproving of the direction it went, but was happy to see the activity before even old enough to vote. Point of this story, that your IRA online support is probably a minor footnote buried in some agent's paper files. They are probably not tracking me as much anymore either. They've got bigger fish to fry now who are not just supporting revolutionary work that could be justified as First Amendment rights in the US Constitution. It was a while back, right? Defeat was back in the '80s...now just Sinn Fein. Though, I read that there's discontent brewing again.

Yeah,more than likely,I joined The Communist part at 19 "1979"
I had no worries getting into the US the last time But now is a very different political climate,although I now have white male privaledge. wow you have had a really interesting path,I met a lot of activists,in SF when I was over there,they were about 10 yrs my senior,awesome stories of unionisim and activisim. I met them at a private BDSM party during pride,but I must say all i was interested in, was these amazing political stories,and histories ![]()
