printThey’re getting closer! Those of us who, like young Celia Alchemy Savage, “distrust government,” and, like the 23-year-old Georgia tomboy, believe that “everybody ought to be able to set on their property and do whatever the heck they want to”: Watch out.
Celia Savage, who likes to blow things up on her property or in the forest clearing, was arrested for telling an agent of Police State USA that she liked to “Blow things up. …” especially “toilets in the woods.”
She did nothing wrong, other than blow her mouth off to an officer of the police state. She was not caught in any criminal act, as far as I can tell. There was no plausible cause to search her home. But they did. Based on what they found during that raid, Savage is being “held on federal weapons, explosives and drug charges, and has been denied bond.”
Savage’s Facebook profile, which is also still on the web, lists “explosives” as an interest, her political orientation as “anarchist” and her status as “Push to test. Release to detonate.”
“I despise all law enforcement and any governing authority,” she says in her “about Celia” section.
Had the Georgia resident offered her skills to Uncle Sam’s fighting force, she’d be in the clear, especially if she blew off some “toweled” heads, or peed on them.
What next? Question her likely many Facebook Friends? Perhaps Savage is my friend and I don’t know it?
UPDATE (June 2): “Beware Of People Like … Mercer”:
A secret Missouri State police report, “entitled ‘The Modern Militia Movement,’ and dated February 20, 2009,” is warning about subversives like … me [and YOU].
One of the incriminating telltale signs the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) is on the look out for are Ron Paul stickers.
I have one on my car. It reads: “Don’t blame me, I supported Ron Paul.”
The MIAC has cultivated an ensnaring network of snitches and spies”—consisting of local, state and federal agencies, as well as the public sector and private entities”—all instructed to keep their eyes peeled for “paraphernalia” associated with the patriot movement. Flags, for example. Guilty again. A magisterial “Don’t Tread On Me” flag snakes across the front page of this website, where my seditious work is stored. The Gadsden flag appears on every other page too. I can’t get enough of “that funky snake,” as my website developer calls the critter.
Indeed, this early American symbol represents some of the values I cherish and champion. The Stars and Stripes stands in stark contrast to the “modest motto” the rattler embodies. Beloved of Republicans, especially, the American flag has ceased to symbolize the ideals of individual and national sovereignty, but stands, rather, for arrogance and imperialism, at home and abroad. …

Ilana, Coming from Holland, this is a truly disturbing phenomenon, that the USA should find it necessary to arrest and hold a woman who openly declares her beliefs and hides nothing back is hardly ”democratic’.
So the bastion of democracy, the USA, lacks that very quality of which they boast and wage wars for. thanks for this interesting and necessarily revealing case. I believe that in Holland this case would have hardly got much attention. There are lots of folk who have óther ídeas ‘here.’ Luckily mostly ignored until some irregular action happens.
[It’s always good to get perspective from readers outside the enormous US bubble. THANKS.]
Well, I looked up Celia on facebook, and no, she’s not one of your facebook friends. The little widget that lists mutual friends told me so.
She’s a very attractive young woman, and I’m not talking about looks. I didn’t even glance at her photos. Any woman who blows things up for fun and distrusts the government is by default attractive.
No evidence that Celia harmed anyone or intended to harm anyone but she was “interfering with interstate commerce” (by possessing stuff on her own property). She also endangered everyone’s freedom (by distrusting our government, the source of all our “rights”). The church she goes to probably hates homosexuality – HATE CRIME!!! I bet she might eat French Fries or drinks Big Gulps so Bloomberg may have to ship her to Gitmo.
Ever hear the nonsense how “the troops” fight for our freedom when they blow up some 51 year old bucktoothed Pushtun warlord? What complete nonsense. Our liberties are being restricted by our own homegrown bureaucratic Gestapo. Pogo: “We have met the enemy and it is us.”

One of my dire predictions has come true – I predicted that the “E-Z-Pass” that is used on the toll roads would be used to automatically hand out speeding tickets. Yep, if you go from Burtonsville to Gaithersburg in 9 minutes, it costs $ 3 toll but do it in 8 minutes, and its $ 53! Hell, why not ticket people who THINK about speeding or object to automated speeding tickets even if they don’t drive! Heck, jail the whole damn country!!
Facebook. I warned U about FB. And how it would be used by TPTB.
Read the (illustrated) ABC essay…nice rack. Gunrack, I mean. “When an ATF agent asked Savage what there was to do in Cornelia, Georgia, she said ‘Blow things up'”. IIIIIIIIIIIII like it!
Ok, I have some questions.
#1 How and why was she talking to an ATF agent?
My guess is her Facebook profile. Facebook is a nice tool of collecting personal info for government and law enforcement agencies. It’s a dream for any government, they don’t have to collect any data, people give it freely themselves. I think, they’ve busted Gangs using facebook.

#2 What is she using to blow things up? If they tracked her from facebook and she says she likes to blow things up, is an anarchist, white, hates the government, and writes “”I am not one for selective targeting but mass destruction.”, of course they are going to target her for further investigation.
#3 Are Pipe bombs illegal?
Here’s my opinion. They saw her facebook page, decided to investigate further and she told ATF agent she likes to blow things up, when he asked what’s to do in Georgia. They probably thought she was a piece to a bigger puzzle and raided her house and found she was small time and really liked blowing things up for recreation; even though she knew it was illegal to manufacture the devices as she admitted.
Seems to me she’s guilty of stupidity.
We can also say the laws are stupid but I think we’re all aware how Big Brother operates and openly declaring on Facebook, the governments data collector, that you’re blowing things up, is not too smart, if you know pipe bombs are illegal.
So, Mr. Holland she was not arrested simply for declaring her beliefs. Yes, she was targeted, but she was arrested for breaking the law.
Libertarians are “enemies of the state” just as Sakharov was an enemy of the USSR. The choices are: (1) be sheep, (2) complain loudly but non-violently, (3) use violence against the government. # 3 is almost certain to fail and, if it ever succeeded, would probably just result in a worse situation (e.g. look at the Russian Revolution). # 1 is unacceptable to those who see as we see – so we vent and rant – which may, many years from not, improve things.
“not”, i.e., now…nice Freudian slip, Myron. Like it or not, Libtards, Civil War is coming…and the HardRight is going to win.
I guess I’ll add my two cents although all here probably know my narrow minded opinions by now. I believe in personal freedom. If my opinions don’t match those of the lowing herd as seems to be preferred by the government, tough beans. The United States is “we the people”. The United States is not the federal government. Of course, if I live in a subdivision I understand not being able to blow things up or shoot rifles in the back yard. If I am living in the boonies it’s nobody’s business what I blow up behind the house.
