In a nation founded on the blood of patriots who rebelled against tyranny, one would think a free society doesn't raid Americans with a dozen deputies over First Amendment-protected speech. Yet in Douglas County, Georgia, that's exactly what's happened to Philip (Matt) and Hilary Jacobs, along with myself, Michael Weaver. Over 27 months ago, on November 3, 2023, Sheriff Tim Pounds' office treated our homes like terrorist cells, storming in with paramilitary force for the "crime" of distributing flyers exposing Jewish overrepresentation in American politics, media, finance, and institutions that shape our cultural decay. This isn't hyperbole—it's a documented civil rights atrocity, a blatant content-based suppression of speech that the Supreme Court has shielded for decades. As we approach the next sham hearing on February 16, 2026, it's time to lay bare the facts, the law, and the human toll of this dual system of justice.
### The Raids: From Peaceful Advocacy to SWAT-Style Terror
The Jacobs' ordeal began at dawn on November 3, 2023. Major Matt Gray commanded roughly a dozen deputies in a raid on their home, as if they were plotting an insurrection rather than exercising free speech. Matt Jacobs had placed informational flyers in driveways and on porches—simple acts of leafleting that detail how unelected lobbies like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) influence policy, train law enforcement, and prioritize foreign interests over American sovereignty. Hilary Jacobs, who was merely in the backseat of their vehicle and distributed nothing, was arrested anyway, falsely imprisoned in a violation of her Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
Days later, the boot came down on me. My apartment was raided under the same pretext: bogus littering charges for lawfully distributing similar flyers. Gray himself went on local news, admitting the literature was "antisemitic in nature"—a damning confession that proves this was no neutral enforcement. Law enforcement was policing content, not conduct, targeting viewpoints that challenge the elite's grip. In a free society, we don't unleash SWAT teams on families for handing out pamphlets; we protect the exchange of ideas, no matter how uncomfortable.
Charges against the Jacobs escalated absurdly: First over 100 counts of littering, then bloated to 302, now reduced to 5 misdemeanors. But under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 16-7-52), which defines littering as intentionally discarding "waste materials," no crime occurred. Expressive materials like political flyers aren't waste—they're the essence of democracy. State Court Solicitor Sonya Compton didn't even file formal accusations until the Free Expression Foundation (FEF) filed a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights lawsuit, forcing her hand after years of deliberate delay. Judge Susan Camp, informed directly of binding precedent, dismissed it under stare decisis—the legal doctrine requiring lower courts to follow higher ones—arrogantly implying she could overrule the Georgia Supreme Court.
The bonds? A punitive $30,000 each, imposed by Camp, far exceeding those for violent felons (verifiable at
courts.dcga.us/WebSearch/mainpage.aspx). This mocks the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on excessive bail, as *Stack v. Boyle*, 342 U.S. 1 (1951), requires bonds to be reasonable based on flight risk and offense gravity. For non-violent speech with no priors, it's unconstitutional cruelty. ADA Lauren Wallace, a felony specialist, inserted herself into this farce, pressuring Camp before her rapid promotion to Superior Court Judge. The warrant's dual signatures—Camp's on raid day, then Magistrate Joel Dodson's three days later—reeks of fabrication to cover tracks.
### First Amendment Caselaw: An Ironclad Shield Ignored
The law is unequivocal: This persecution is illegal. The First Amendment declares "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech," extending to states via the Fourteenth Amendment. Leafleting is core protected activity, as the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled time and again.
Start with *Schneider v. New Jersey*, 308 U.S. 147 (1939), where the Court invalidated municipal ordinances banning handbill distribution to prevent littering. Justice Roberts wrote: "Mere legislative preferences for cleanliness over speech cannot justify suppression of the latter." The government must regulate litter without chilling expression—the Jacobs' and my flyers posed no such threat; they informed, they didn't defile.
This principle was reinforced in *Martin v. City of Struthers*, 319 U.S. 141 (1943), striking down a door-to-door leaflet ban. The Court held that "the circulation of a leaflet... does not deprive the homeowner of his privacy any more than does a letter from the mailman," affirming such acts as essential political speech. *Lovell v. City of Griffin*, 303 U.S. 444 (1938), went further, prohibiting permit requirements for literature distribution, as they vest officials with unbridled discretion to suppress dissent—much like Gray's content-based raid.
Georgia's own Supreme Court echoed this in *Statesboro Publishing Co. v. City of Sylvania*, 277 Ga. 502 (1999), ruling that placing newspapers or flyers in driveways and on porches is protected First Amendment activity, not littering. Any contrary enforcement is an unconstitutional content-based restriction under strict scrutiny, where the government must prove a compelling interest and narrow tailoring—impossible here, as the flyers advanced public discourse on elite influence.
Broader protections apply: *Jamison v. Texas*, 318 U.S. 413 (1943), invalidated handbill bans outright, declaring distributors "exercising a right protected by the Constitution." *Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of New York, Inc. v. Village of Stratton*, 536 U.S. 150 (2002), shielded unsolicited door-to-door advocacy, noting blanket prohibitions infringe on anonymous political speech. And for rhetorical calls to action, like our peaceful rally, *Brandenburg v. Ohio*, 395 U.S. 444 (1969), protects advocacy unless it incites "imminent lawless action"—absent here, as we've emphasized non-violence.
Federal statutes seal the felony: 18 U.S.C. §§ 241-242 punish conspiracies to deprive rights under color of law with up to 10 years imprisonment. The Sheriff's Office's refusal of Georgia Open Records Act requests (O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq.) for ADL/SPLC communications screams cover-up, tied to Pounds' GILEE training (
gilee.gsu.edu), an ADL-partnered program shipping sheriffs to Israel for "sensitivity" that crushes dissent (partnerships at
gilee.gsu.edu/about/partnerships/community-and-civic-organizations/).
The FEF's §1983 suit, led by Glenn Allen (Charlottesville defender), was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Steven Grimberg under the Younger doctrine—abstaining from state proceedings—but appealed to the 11th Circuit, keeping the fight alive.
### The Human Toll: Stolen Lives in a Dual System of Justice
This isn't abstract; it's devastation. Over two years lost: Birthdays without cake or cheers, Christmases devoid of gifts and gatherings, irreplaceable family bonds frayed forever. The Jacobs' home, once a haven, echoes with absence; my own harassment extended to my father, while I hid from warrants that chained me from my dying tuxedo cat, Tuxedo. He passed alone—no final purr, no stroke of his soft fur—because the system deemed my speech a threat.
And the hypocrisy? A dual system of justice. We face raids for protected speech, yet synagogues go unraided for metzitzah b'peh—the ritual where rabbis orally suction blood from infants' circumcisions, spreading herpes and endangering lives. No SWAT teams for Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile clients, those elite predators who trafficked minors with impunity. White patriots get the boot; the powerful get a blind eye. This erodes our organic nation—Christian, hierarchical, patriarchal—pushing the Great Replacement through silenced dissent, feminist degeneracy, and egalitarian lies.
The Lugenpresse stays silent, complicit in the ADL's war on our heritage.
### Call to Action: Rally, Donate, Resist
February 16, 2026, at the Douglas County Courthouse (8700 Hospital Drive, Douglasville, GA), 8 AM: Join the peaceful rally. Signs like "End ADL Censorship!", chants, prayers, and filming (public spaces allow it). No violence—our power is constitutional. Coordinate on Gab (@MWeaver) or WIN.
Support the appeal: Donate to the Free Expression Foundation at freeexpressionfoundation.org/donate/—mark "Jacobs and Weaver Free Speech Case." Every cent fuels the 11th Circuit fight. Share the raid video (

In a free society, speech isn't raided—it's revered. The Jacobs and I stand for God, family, and the Republic. When caselaw crumbles, resistance rebuilds. Victory or Valhalla.
