Doesn't sound like an altercation. Sounds like an AMBUSH. Guy was planning on harvesting the meat from his animal. Do you need a permit for that now-a-days?
Family: Deputies who killed rancher escalated altercation
http://news.yahoo.com/family-deputies-killed-rancher-escalated-altercation-184509154.html
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The family of an Idaho rancher who was shot and killed by sheriff's deputies after one of his bulls was hit by a car and charged emergency crews said his death was not justified.
Jack Yantis, 62, died a week ago after an altercation with two Adams County deputies along a highway just north of the tiny town of Council, Idaho State Police said. The deputies planned to shoot the injured animal when Yantis arrived with a rifle. All of them fired their weapons, investigators said.
Deputies are to blame for Yantis' death, family members said in statements provided to the Idaho Statesman (http://bit.ly/1PwmzGK ) by attorneys hired after the Nov. 1 shooting. The newspaper also interviewed relatives who say they saw the shooting and received a video statement from Yantis' wife, who was also at the scene.
"Law enforcement should be trained to de-escalate situations," said Rowdy Paradis, a nephew of the Yantis' who says he was a witness. "In this case, I stood 10 feet away and watched two deputies escalate the situation and needlessly kill a man."
Idaho State Police declined to comment to The Associated Press. Sheriff Ryan Zollman did not return a request for comment.
"We are committed to doing a meticulous investigation and that's why we can't comment," Idaho State Police spokeswoman Teresa Baker said.
Dispatchers had called Yantis while he was at dinner, telling him to take care of his 2,500-pound Gelbvieh bull after the crash, his family said. In the state's rural areas, it is common for vehicles to strike livestock, and Yantis had put down animals before, according to relatives.
Yantis rode to the scene on an all-terrain vehicle, and his wife, Donna, picked up the family's .204-caliber rifle and met him on the highway.
Paradis said Yantis asked him to bring a small front-end loader to transport the animal once they were finished. The family says the deputies had shot the bull before Yantis arrived.
When he got there, his wife handed him the rifle and he aimed the gun at the animal lying on the pavement. The deputies stood behind him as he put the barrel a few feet from the bull's head with his finger on the trigger, his family said. Paradis said he did not see Yantis or the deputies speak.
That's when a deputy grabbed Yantis' shoulder from behind, turned him around and pushed the rancher. Relatives think the gun might have gone off accidentally and then the deputies opened fire. The family says Yantis was shot in the chest and abdomen.
"There was no shootout. It was a senseless murder," said Yantis' daughter, Sarah.
Donna Yantis said she and Paradis tried to run to the rancher but the deputies threw them to the ground.
"And then they threatened me and my nephew ... threw us on the middle of Highway 95, searched us and handcuffed us, and wouldn't let us go take care of Jack," she said in a video statement.
Donna Yantis had a heart attack at the scene and had to be flown to a local hospital, where she recorded video, the family said.

Totalitarianism is full rule by the state, often by a single strongman. Such movements depend on almost total penetration of the cult of the leader and include domination of every aspect of society from the economy to the military to mass media.
It was Giovanni Amendola in the 1920s who apparently first used the term in describing Italian Fascism (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/1902/), which he claimed was fundamentally different than normal dictatorships and a great deal more pervasive in terms of how the political system was implemented and presented.
In the modern era, totalitarianism has come to have very negative connotations for Western ears. It conjures up the worst abuses of dictatorial states such as the USSR and Nazi Germany. Regimes such as that of Pol Pot (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/2939/) in Cambodia are said to be totalitarian with overtones of inevitable genocide and bloody suppression of any alternative points of view.
Totalitarian states are seen as far more dangerous and uncompromising than "authoritarian (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/2606/)" ones. The authoritarian state may have a dictatorial leader but the all-encompassing nature of the state itself may not be manifest. An authoritarian state is one that uses propaganda and other dictatorial mechanisms for purposes of empowerment but it is possible within the larger definition of "authoritarian" to envision at least some competing power centers. A totalitarian society has no competing power centers and brutally represses and stamps out any hint of dissent.
Authoritarian environments are often seen as involving a monopoly of government power but this is rather different from totalitarian societies that attempt to reorganize the larger society as well. Totalitarian ideologies leave little or no room for competing ideas. It is made clear that those living in such societies must adapt not only to the outward sociopolitical structure but must also internalize the larger ideological manifestations.
Authoritarian societies are often said to be less ideological, more pluralistic and predictable in terms of their exercise of power. Totalitarian governments seek to invade every part of an individual's life with the idea of providing a seamless mesh of propaganda and state-initiated activities that leave little or no room for thinking outside of proscribed norms. Authoritarian societies may be tolerable ones; totalitarian societies rarely are.

Strange shit like that is happening in Idaho.
I read William Norman Grigg's articles on LRC, and they are almost always about police abuses in Idaho. I've been wondering if he focused on that because it's where he lives, or if there really is more of it in that state.
I always had the idea that Idaho was a typical western state where everybody, including the police, tended to have more common sense and decency. Maybe not.
This story has made it on to a couple of farming forums I read. Those guys tend to be law and order conservatives who typically back the police out of habit, but they are starting to wake up a little when it happens to one of their own.

A little more to it than that.
A rancher is a land baron .... or just baron for short. You get 25 of them together and Magna Carte gives them a slight edge when it comes to dealing with the Crown.

There's a thread at TOL that has quite a bit of information about this from people who live in the area. Years ago I was up and down US 95 past Yantis's place many times. The Idaho State Police seem to be out of line or control like the rest of the police in this country. I think it was cold blooded murder by the sheriffs deputies. They should be tried, convicted and executed for their crime. The link to the TOL thread here http://www.thetreeofliberty.com/vb/showthread.php?219719-Idaho-Rancher-Murdered

Jack Yantis Revisited: TVOI reporter arrested by FBI on machinegun charges:
https://www.facebook.com/TheOathwithSSGMoe/
(the gun charges is a verbal as the sheriff site still does not reflect any of it, the info was verbal from someone at the sheriffs where he is held.)
FURTHER: Maureen Peltier Update: Ok, this just in from a reliable source that spoke with Deschutes County Sheriffs' Office. He was charged with possession of machine gun (weapons charges) 2 specifically. However, both have all required permits for both weapons. But the feds conveniently did not check for the weapons registration & permits. So they went in there looking for weapons. And came out with all his computers, phones and other items. Rest of the details of their harrowing experience above in Becky Hudson 's post.
HERE IS WARRANT INFO, REMEMBER he was hit at 5:30 this morning and the warrant is dated today, so that judge either got up REALLY early or it was created AFTER they hit the house. you decide.: http://www.flashalertnewswire.net/…/Emry_Michael_-_Arrest_W… (http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flashalertnewswire.net%2F images%2Fnews%2F2016-05%2F3585%2F94250%2FEmry_Michael_-_Arrest_Warrant__and__Complaint_-_May_6_2016.pdf&h=5AQHRaMPNAQHmI7NZ9pRMt0Uxb-3mtKSxKD3sVj7x8yfKqQ&enc=AZNQL3CKOWIh0uUSbubskpc9ftTEU8uu_vPmaBNLbXrDXk jsAy97LufIHyXONgi-ueTpltXPhxUPDXBy2E2D3AO48wUBkAEmCV9eA4igLT8NBzLIU1 sEwUr7HF6fMzdh7WKxApvbpDE37DNz2-JYEM3i2AKKH9AlqXnt3rB_BmYxhyTwCEEf5foXJUi0OzP0fM1-QHccibGtRaLt9lpyu7jj&s=1)

Yesterday, TVOI News received a copy of an “Officer Safety/Extra Patrol” alert that was issued by the Ada County Sheriff’s Office for two locations near Meridian. The alert was issued last January and the subject of the alert was Brian Steele Wood, the Deputy Sheriff who was involved in the shooting death of rancher Jack Yantis in November of 2015.
The alert said that Wood’s whereabouts were unknown, that he was separating from his wife and that there had been some domestic violence issues, that he had made threats to the police, that he had been observed collecting guns from a fifth-wheel trailer on his sister-in-law’s property, and that Wood claimed to have access to explosives. Following all of that, the alert said that Wood’s in-laws had requested extra patrols and they didn’t feel safe. There was emphasis on the last line: “NO CHARGES HAVE BEEN FILED ON WOOD. ACSO IS NOT CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING ANY CRIME INVOLVING WOOD. OFFICER SAFETY ONLY* *USE EXTREME CAUTION*
Obviously nothing came from that alert so in itself, it is not news. The reason given for providing the report to TVOI News is because of the alleged continuing erratic behavior of Deputy Wood. He and the other Deputy involved in the shooting death of Jack Yantis, Cody Roland are both on paid leave while the incident is being investigated. The Adams County Sheriff turned the case over to the Idaho State Police (ISP) to investigate. In March, ISP completed their investigation and turned it over to the Idaho State Attorney General’s office where it seems to have been dropped into a dark hole. KTVB (http://www.ktvb.com/news/local/isp-gives-yantis-shooting-report-to-idaho-ag/76677934) reported that Todd Dvorak, spokesman for the attorney general said there was no timeline for reviewing the ISP’s report. In the meantime, Brian Steele Wood and Cody Roland are on paid vacation at the expense of the Adams County taxpayers.
Of course the main stream media has moved on to the latest traffic accident but internet activists have continued to research and add details and different angles to the story. TVOI was working on the Yantis case but then the rally to support the Hammond Family was held in Burns, Oregon. We had the occupation at Malheur Refuge and so our attention was turned there. There are so many cases all around the country that are connected under the categories of government abuse of power, corruption and collusion. It’s hard to keep up. It’s also hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys because we have Marxist Liberty Liars who have infiltrated our communities – and in particular, patriot communities who provoke the police and then claim to be victims of abuse. Their objective is to get patriots to turn on the police which of course, causes the police to respond with even greater force and which justifies increases in funding, technology and leads to changes in the attitudes and rules of engagement for the police. In other words, Liberty Liars help to build the police state.
The incident in which Jack Yantis was murdered by Brian Steele Wood and Cody Roland occurred on November 2, 2015 following an accident on Highway 95 outside of the town of Council. Jack Yantis’ Angus bull was on Highway 95 when he was hit by a car. The bull was injured and angry and emergency workers were unable to extricate the driver and passenger from the vehicle. The Sheriff’s Department was called and the two deputies responded. They called Jack Yantis to come put his bull down which is the custom in rural areas. Jack arrived on scene with his wife and their nephew Rowdy Paradis. According to Paradis’ story, Jack was in position with his rifle aimed at the head of the bull for a kill shot when one of the deputies grabbed his shoulder and jerked him backwards causing a wild shot at which point one or both of the deputies open fired on Jack Yantis.
When I first looked at this story, I looked for Liberty Liars because the events as described were so very out of character for a rural area where animal encounters with cars are not uncommon and it is customary for people to put down their own animals when required. I didn’t see any Liberty Liars at the time so my next thought was that Highway 95 is a North-South corridor – main route from Boise to Canada. It’s an old highway originally built in 1926 (https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/highwayhistory/us95.cfm). The thought crossed my mind that the government wanted the Yantis ranch for highway expansion and a connector to an international corridor – what we used to call the Interstate but that after the Texas experience with the Trans-Texas Corridor (http://www.burntorangereport.com/diary/15657/toll-road-default-could-derail-rick-perrys-presidential-bid-with-specter-of-trans-texas-corridor), the government may have decided that it’s easier to kill troublesome ranchers than to get their property through eminent domain – especially for a P3 (public-private partnership). The jury is still out on that angle but having taken a quick refresher on the Yantis story, there are new angles to be explored.
Besides all of the obvious sad facts of the Yantis case, is the sad fact that it is left to the alternate media to do the digging to find other possible angles to the case that are not obvious because the mainstream media are being paid to limit their field of vision and the big agendas and money coming from the federal government incentivize corruption at the state and local level. That makes our public officials arrogant and untrustworthy puppets who act in their own self-interest because they have a corrupt federal police state system at their back.
TVOI News will continue to follow this case as resources permit.

Boise Gun Dealer Shocked After Machine Gun Stolen By Bundy Sympathizer
http://www.opb.org/images/upload/c_limit,h_1000,q_90,w_640/050716KFscreenshot_higfu7.pngThe gun found in Michael Emry's possession was not registered to him.

A self-styled journalist who traveled to Oregon in early January to spread the message of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupiers is facing federal weapons charges in Grant County.
But a man associated with a recovered machine gun says he was surprised to see the weapon turn up in a federal investigation, noting that federal agents hadn’t contacted him before or after the arrest.

FBI Arrests Man Linked To Refuge Occupation On Weapons Charges (http://gold-silver.us/forum/safari-reader://www.opb.org/news/series/burns-oregon-standoff-bundy-militia-news-updates/fbi-arrest-refuge-occupation-michael-emry/)
Michael Emry of Boise, Idaho, was in Harney County throughout the armed occupation reporting for “The Voice Of Idaho,” a website he established with his wife, Becky Hudson, to report on self-styled militia groups.
Emry was found with a fully-automatic Browning M2 hidden in his truck and RV trailer near John Day on Friday. Emry told the FBI that he removed the serial number from the weapon before bringing it to Oregon from Idaho about a month and a half ago.
Emry also told the FBI he took the gun from Jim Weaver, his former employer, without Weaver’s knowledge.
Weaver, a machinist by trade, hired Emry to work part time at his automotive business in Boise from 2001 to 2006. The 62-year-old operated a small firearms store out of his automotive shop, and has a Class 3 license to sell firearms.
Weaver told OPB that Emry did odd jobs for him, including transmission work and some cleaning. Emry also worked with firearms.
“He built some guns, but nothing real elaborate,” said Weaver.
“Mike is a naturally mechanically inclined person. He’s knowledgeable with firearms, he did odds and ends, just a little bit of everything [around the shop],” Weaver said.
But when Weaver sold his automotive shop in 2006, he said Emry went to work for different people.
“I talked to him about 8 months ago on the phone. We stayed in touch, talked once in a while. But then he moved, and I didn’t know where he went,” he said, adding that he hasn’t seen Emry in person since the shop closed a decade ago.
Emry had moved to Grant County in recent months, where he and his wife established an online presence as the “Voice of Grant County.” Through online videos and social media posts, the couple expressed support for Ammon Bundy and other occupiers who took over the Malheur refuge.
Weaver said he was surprised to learn Emry had his .50 caliber Browning M2 in Oregon.
“Holy s—-. How did he get in the shop?” Weaver said. “I haven’t been there because we’ve been in the process of moving. I guess he could have made extra keys I don’t know about.”
Weaver said his inventory is small, but most is under lock-and-key. He said he had taken the Browning M2 out to photograph it more than a month ago, because he had considered selling it.
“It was sort of hidden, Mike must have went through some stuff, I don’t know,” Weaver said.

Weaver said he purchased the gun Feb. 6, 2001, from Diamond Dick’s Pawn in Boise. He said it was in pieces and the barrel wasn’t with it, so it was non-operational.
Federal agents tested the weapon after they arrested Emry, and confirmed it was in working order at that time.
“He definitely took the gun — no question about that,” Weaver said. “Everything else is where it’s supposed to be, I checked the place. I have the serial number and my paperwork and all that, but I’m going, ‘Holy cow.’”
The FBI charged Emry with unlawful possession of a machine gun not registered to him and unlawful possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. Emry has an initial appearance in federal court Monday.
Weaver said he hadn’t heard from the FBI as of Saturday morning, but expected someone from the agency would be in touch.
“This hit me like a ton of bricks, he was kind of a roamer and stuff. First off, him stealing from me, just blows me a way,” Weaver said. “I tried to be somewhat of a friend to him.”

UPDATE: 'Fringe' Website LibertyFight.com Breaks Truth Wide Open In Leak of Secret Internal Police Memo, Sheriff's Dept. 'Frustrated' (http://libertyfight.com/2016/fringe-breaks-truth-wide-open.html)
Establishment corporate media were forced to cover the release of a secret leaked police memo yesterday, after the LibertyFight.com expose on the matter went super-viral worldwide in a matter of moments. In response, Sheriff Ryan Zollman claimed that the memo was "old news," after hiding it from the public for nearly four months. In reality the 'Officer Safety' Notice, issued by the Ada County, Idaho Crime Analysis Unit last January, was not 'old news' to the public at all. On the contrary, it was brand new news, because no one ever told the public about it. It's very significant news, which is why the corporate media was forced to immediately pick it up, as well as channel 7 TV news in Idaho, which ran a breaking 6PM news story on it last night. According to channel 7, the Ada County sheriff's Dept. was "frustrated" over the leak of the confidential memo, which police officers are supposedly forbidden to release. The document revealed that killer cop Brian Wood was 'increasingly unstable,' had guns, 'access to explosives,' was involved in domestic violence, and threatened "If cops get involved, shots will be fired." [Read full article here (http://libertyfight.com/2016/fringe-breaks-truth-wide-open.html).]
Law enforcement in Idaho has issued a 'LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE' internal document known as an "ATL" - attempt to locate - Brian Wood, one of the deputies who killed 62-year-old rancher Jack Yantis on November 1, 2015. LibertyFight.com has obtained a copy of this three page document.
Brian Wood, pictured below, is an FBI-Trained Sniper, who was previously sued for roughing up a 79-year-old man. (http://libertyfight.com/2015/Yantis_deputy_sued_roughed_up_79_year_old_named.ht ml)
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc204/RIGHTSOFMAN/BRIANWOODSNIPER1.jpg
Ada County Sheriff's Office Crime Analysis Unit issued an "OFFICER SAFETY/ EXTRA PATROL" notice, also marked 'LES: Law Enforcement Sensitive.'
The document states:
"ACCORDING TO ADAMS COUNTY SHERIFF OFFICE, Brian Wood has become increasingly unstable in recent weeks.. Brian Wood is one of the Adams SCO Deputies involved in the recent officer Involved shooting in Council. ACSO (Adams County Sheriff Office) advised Wood and his wife are separating and there have been recently reported Domestic Violence issues in the Home. During a conversation with Adams CSO, Wood advised "If cops get involved, shots will be fired." On 01/20/16 Wood was observed collecting guns from a fifth-wheel trailer on sister-in-laws property. Since that time, Wood's whereabouts are unknown. Adams CSO stated Wood claims to have access to explosives. Wood's in-laws currently reside in Meridian (info above) and have requested extra patrol due to statements from Woods that they are "not safe".
*NO CHARGES HAVE BEEN FILED ON WOOD. ACSO IS NOT CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING ANY CRIME INVOLVING WOOD. OFFICER SAFETY ONLY*
** USE EXTREME CAUTION **
LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE
It then lists 'Brian Steele Wood' and his photo, along with his physical description, height, weight, hair color, eye color, last known addresses, phone number, vehicles including year, make, model, and license plate number.
Below that is the 'requested patrol location' (in-laws address).
Page two of the document includes eight photographs of the in-laws home, and page three includes an aerial photo of the proerty and a map of surrounding streets and outlying areas.
On November 1, 2015, local sheriff dispatcher called Jack out to tend to an injured bull which had been hit by a car. Shortly thereafter he was shot to death by the very sheriff department which called him for help. Jack's nephew Rowdy Paradis, who was a witness, wrote (http://libertyfight.com/2015/murdered_in_cold_blood_by_trigger_happy_rookies.ht ml) that Jack was "Murdered in cold blood by trigger happy rookies gunned down at the end of his own driveway for trying to take care of his own livestock!!!!!! As their own dispatch had asked him to do I how they get the death penalty."
Jack's daughter Sarah Yantis said (http://libertyfight.com/2015/Sarah_Yantis_my_dad_brutally_murdered_left_like_ro adkill.html) "My dad Jack Yantis was brutally gunned down and murdered by the Adams County deputies... My father did not receive any care, including medical care, prior to my arrival. And he was shot and left for dead like common roadkill."
Jack Yantis' widow Donna, 63-years-old, gave this account of the incident from her hospital bed. She had a heart attack upon seeing the police murder her husband.
"On Nov. 1 at approximately 7 p.m. Adams County Sheriff's Department called and told us there was a bull that got hit and they wanted us on the scene and he was mad. So we went down to check it out. I took Jack his gun so he could put the bull out of its misery. When he walked up there and was gonna put him down the officer came up and jerked him back almost off his feet. I don't know what they told him, but they just opened fire and shot him. And then they threatened me and my nephew, Rowdy Paradis, threw us on the middle of Highway 95, searched us and handcuffed us and wouldn't let us go take care of Jack."
On November 30, 2015, thirty days after Jack was killed, neither the Sheriff nor the corporate media would release the named of the two killers. This was supposedly for their safety - as if the public at large were dangerous, unstable maniacs. That is when LibertyFight.com decided to name the two sheriffs (http://libertyfight.com/2015/Yantis_deputy_sued_roughed_up_79_year_old_named.ht ml)who killed Jack Yantis: Brian Wood and Cody Roland. Thirteen hours after our story went super-viral worldwide, their boss Ryan Zollman held a press conference and was forced to acknowledge their identities (http://libertyfight.com/2015/zollman_spills_killers_names_after_bombshell_expos e.html).
Three days after we revealed their identities, the killers went into 'damage control' mode. Brian Wood's wife MacKenzie Wood shockingly posted on Facebook that "I am very proud of both of these men!" (http://libertyfight.com/2015/wife_of_sheriff_who_killed_yantis_very_proud_of_bo th.html) On December 7th, Brian Wood himself posted a Facebook message defending Jack's killing, which began (http://libertyfight.com/2015/Brian_Wood_facebook_post_sliced_up_newspaper.html)
"Friends, The last five weeks have been the most trying of my life. I'd elaborate, but I've come to realize I don't need to because I'm not experiencing this alone, I'm not hurting alone. You have shown me that you love me, that you trust me, and that you are hurting with me. It's pretty demoralizing to get several messages, calls, texts, and e-mails each day telling me I'm a murdering piece of _____, a baby killer, and everything in between. These people have no real clue what happened that night, but it still adds up to weigh a person down. That's why I'm so grateful for you."I replied to Wood directly, asking, among other things, if he was some sort of psycho (http://libertyfight.com/2015/my_reply_to_sheriff_Brian_Wood.html).
This latest revelation, that Sheriff Ryan Zollman knew all this information about Wood for months, sheds new light on just how untrustworthy Sheriff Ryan Zollman is. [See the e-mail I sent to Zollman on 11/15/15, A Few questions for Sheriff Ryan Zollman (http://libertyfight.com/2015/a_few_questions_for_sheriff_ryan_zollman.html).] Just three days ago, LibertyFight reported on the extremely cavalier attitude of the Adams County Sheriff Department when the Yantis family called to report that their Justice For Jack sign had been stolen from their property: [Sheriff's Dept. Who Killed Jack Yantis Responds To Theft of 'Justice For Jack' Sign With Dismissal, Skepticism (http://libertyfight.com/2016/Yantis-sign-theft-cops.html).]
Sheriff Zollman, a Republican, faces an election challenged this November by retired lawman Tom Watts (http://libertyfight.com/2016/retired-sheriff-challenge-zollman-jack-yantis-hometown.html), who is running for Sheriff as an Independent. His campaign website is TomWattsForAdamsCounty.com (http://www.tomwattsforadamscounty.com/). There is also a Republican write-in candidate who will be opposing Zollman in the Republican primary. If elected in the primary, she has vowed not to run against Watts in the general election.
Multiple people in Council have reported harassment by police and fear of the two killer deputies, who to this day are on paid leave. It's been over six months since Jack Yantis was killed, and both the Idaho Attorney General and Idaho State Police have yet to release their findings on the case.
According to another one of our sources, the following information also pertains to this case:
This ATL was issued for 2 Reasons..
First was a Welfare check of Mr Brian Wood's Family to make sure He and they were okay...
Second was to make sure that Mr Brian Wood is NOT a Threat to Himself or those around Him...
In Current Law Enforcement Circles Mr Brian Wood is considered ARMED and DANGEROUS...
USE EXTREME CAUTION IF APPROACHED...AND MR BRIAN WOOD IS CONSIDERED MENTALLY UNSTABLE !!!
In the First part of 2016 Mr Brian Wood admitted himself into a VA Mental Hospital in Spokane Washington and shortly there after at his own volition checked himself OUT OF THAT FACILITY...
This is known Information with LAW ENFORCEMENT CIRCLES !!
The ATL was issued Statewide In Idaho to Warn other LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS on Jan. 22, 2016...
Why was the JACK YANTIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS and the Community of Council Idaho who support JUSTICE FOR JACK not WARNED about Possible DANGER and BODILY HARM ????
If we as Citizens Threaten Verbally to shoot a Law Enforcement Officer or We as Citizens were involved in Domestic Violence with Family.. WE WOULD BE LOCKED UP AND THE KEYS THROWN AWAY AS EXAMPLES OF THE WORST KIND!!!
EVERYONE!!! Call the Adams County Sheriff Office!!!
Find out the TRUTH of what has BEEN HIDDEN FROM PUBLIC VIEW..???
Find out why a FELLOW OFFICER IS DIFFERENT THAN YOU OR I???
ASK FOR TRUTH AND JUSTICE FOR JACK YANTIS !!!
LibertyFight recieved notice several months ago from a source in Council that Wood was experiencing marital problems after allegations of infidelity on his part- specifically the allegation circulating among townsfolks was that he was cheating on his wife wth a 19 year old girl and that his wife had filed for divorce. Since we couldn't verify or cooberate that story, or find divorce records, we did not run it.
Adams County Idaho Sheriff Ryan Zollman, who is facing challengers in both the upcoming Republican primary and in the general election in November, was asked two weeks ago by the republican candidate at a public town hall meeting, the following question. Knowing what you know now about this case, would you re-hire the two deputies who killed Jack Yantis? Zollman replied with a resounding YES. At a previous town hall meeting shortly after the shooting, Zollman denied that his deputies were trained by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, despite the fact that LibertyFight.com had published countless official records from the official Adams County meeting minutes, admitting DHS training, funding, and mandates (http://libertyfight.com/2015/a_few_questions_for_sheriff_ryan_zollman.html).
So, Zollman said that he will re-hire Brian wood and Cody Roland.
Keep in mind, this is three months after Wood, according to law enforcement itself, threatened to shoot cops and had explosives, and was involved in domestic violence.
Furthermore, why was Wood not arrested or charged for domestic violence? Why was he not arrested or charged for threatening violence against police? Is it legal in Adams County, Idaho to threatent to shoot cops? That sounds like a terrorist threat to me.
Why was the Yantis family not warned about this danger?
Why were only police warned that Wood is dangerous, unstable, and that they should, quote, "use extreme caution"?
Why were the activists and loved ones in the 'Justice for Jack (https://www.facebook.com/groups/535194259989826/602100456632539/?notif_t=feedback_reaction_generic¬if_id=1462538284289612)' group not warned about their safety?
You can view the document below. Some information, such as addresses of Wood's in-laws, has been redacted.
Stay tuned to LibertyFight.com for latest developments on this story.

“JONESING FOR AN ARREST” FBI SPECIAL AGENT INVOLVED IN KILLING OF SUICIDAL CIVILIAN TIED TO EMRY ARREST
THE COWBOY AND THE LADY (https://www.facebook.com/ThomRene2016/)·SATURDAY, MAY 7, 2016 (https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-cowboy-and-the-lady/jonesing-for-an-arrest-fbi-special-agent-involved-in-killing-of-suicidal-civilia/1051606188242433)
By: Thom Davis & Rene’ Powers, The Cowboy And The Lady
How SPECIAL do you have to be to be hired by the FBI as a “Special Agent”?
TVOI reporter, Michael Emry, was arrested yesterday by the FBI. We were the first to release the story and will share further findings of interest with you in this article. Is Emry writing too many stories of truth and uncovering facts that prove the innocence of Americans being wrongly incarcerated and held? Now, as Mike sits in the cell we question the integrity of the Federal Agents involved even further.
STORY RELEASED LAST NIGHT THAT BROKE THE NEWS:
https://www.facebook.com/ThomRene2016/photos/a.1010199109049808.1073741828.1010159939053725/1051174904952228/?type=3&theater (https://www.facebook.com/ThomRene2016/photos/a.1010199109049808.1073741828.1010159939053725/1051174904952228/?type=3&theater)
As we write this article, again, it is with concern of the “Special Agents” behind the murder of Lavoy Finicum and the incarceration of American Whistle Blowers. This story was removed as it was posted, by who? Why? We are recreating it as the whole word doc saved also disappeared.
The “arrest warrant” was issued based on the alleged truth as told by Special Agent Benjamin Jones and executed based on his words. We also see in here that the initials CW are present where the judges signature is actually printed with those initials next to it, who is CW and how does CW have the authority to authorize signing for a magistrate?
http://www.flashalertnewswire.net/images/news/2016-05/3585/94250/Emry_Michael_-_Arrest_Warrant__and__Complaint_-_May_6_2016.pdf (http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flashalertnewswire.net%2F images%2Fnews%2F2016-05%2F3585%2F94250%2FEmry_Michael_-_Arrest_Warrant__and__Complaint_-_May_6_2016.pdf&h=xAQEJ5BdD&s=1)
A Utah police officer, Benjamin Jones, hired by FBI as Special Agent was involved in the killing of an unarmed civilian in Salt Lake City, Utah. Jones is tied to an investigation of a fatal shooting in 2007 that left an unarmed, suicidal man dead. Special Agent Jones has been employed with the FBI since January 31 , 2009. He is currently assigned to the Bend Resident Agency and investigates a variety of crimes, including Firearms
Violations and violations related to Domestic Terrorism. Prior to working for the FBI, SA Jones was a police officer with Salt Lake City Police Department for four years.
DA CLEARS SLC COP OF FATAL KILLING: http://archive.sltrib.com/article.p... (http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Farchive.sltrib.com%2Farticle. php%3Fid%3D7129221%26itype%3DNGPSID%26keyword%26qt ype&h=eAQEoC-UW&s=1)
Posted: 6:07 PM- A Salt Lake City police officer who shot and killed a man outside a northwest apartment complex in August used justifiable force, Salt Lake County District Attorney Lohra Miller had decided.In a Sept. 28 letter to Police Chief Chris Burbank that was released to The Tribune on Tuesday, Miller cleared Officer Ben Jones in the Aug. 18 shooting death of 32-year-old Ricky Christopher Raso.
What exactly happened Aug. 18 remains unclear, as Miller did not release any details about the shooting.A heavily redacted police report contradicts information initially provided by police.According to the police report, someone called 911 about 11:20 p.m. to say Raso was threatening to kill himself outside the Wood Crest Condominiums, at 550 N. Star Crest Drive (1840 West). Dispatchers told responding officers that Raso said he had a gun, although none was seen, according to the report.Jones, who has been on the force for about two years, responded to the call, and at some point Raso reached into a pocket while charging at the officer, according to police. That's when Jones fired, apparently two times, according to witnesses. At least one of those shots hit Raso.
Witnesses said they saw Jones standing behind his patrol car with Raso within 10 feet and did not see Raso holding a gun, although police still have not confirmed whether Raso was armed.

TVOI did a story about Greg Bretzing, the “Special Agent” in charge of this debacle in Burns Oregon. Many facts made us question how a man like Bretzing ends up in charge of such a case, when in fact Bretzing himself has been the central figure to misdeeds and internal investigations. (?)
http://tvoinews.com/15328-2/ (http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftvoinews.com%2F15328-2%2F&h=jAQFPq06J&s=1) In 2009, current Oregon FBI Special Agent in Charge of the Malhuer Occupation, Greg Bretzing was the Special Agent in Charge of a massive investigation into the theft of Indian artifacts in the Four Corners region of Arizona, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. The investigation (https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fbi.gov%2Fsaltlakecity%2 Fpress-releases%2F2009%2Fslc061009.htm&h=qAQFMP_ZO&s=1)centered around the alleged taking of and sale of Indian artifacts from Federal Lands. However those lands, while under BLM management, are public lands and the legality of removing artifacts is still in dispute. The two year long investigation headed by Bretzing culminated in June 2009 when FBI and BLM agents conducted coordinated raids on 24 defendants serving 12 separate indictments.

http://www.flashalertnewswire.net/images/news/2016-05/3585/94250/Emry_Michael_-_Arrest_Warrant__and__Complaint_-_May_6_2016.pdf
AND WITH ALL THOSE VELCRO PATCHES THE AGENTS WEAR WHO ARE THEY REALLY?
Many people contact us with the concern that so many of the agents involved in Burns Oregon have had a history of investigations against them, wondering why so many seem to be promoted rather than demoted? We have the same questions and have done our best to research the facts and truth related to the entire event in Burns Oregon surrounding the Malheur Refuge and the Whistle Blowers who were given permission to be there.
Has Michael Emry and TVOI uncovered too much truth? We have to question the patterns of arrests as we see gun charges, explosives and many of the same words used against so many. Heck, Ammon Bundy nor Cliven Bundy even carry a gun and they are charged with such! Is it that telling lies means having to remember what you said so repeating the same one is just easier?
Why has no one, NO ONE, on the defense teams brought the facts of no trespass and assistance by Sheriffs to the court room? We are truly baffled at all the truth shared, and no dismissal of the case as yet? How can there be so much proof of innocence and proof the ABC agencies stories are full of lies and yet innocent Americans are still sitting in cells incarcerated? We seek to find the answers and all we keep finding is, “because they have the badges, the guns, the courts and the prisons to do it.”
Our will is to pray for changes that lead to freeing America from the tyranny that has usurped our country and have the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA free of employees who continue to Pirate, Trespass and create Counterfeit documents that are destroying American lives. We pray for government to be cleaned of these usurpers and thank the “White Hats” who must be working to do just that. (could you hurry it up guys?)
We also have to ask, was this ANOTHER staged event?

“BEING EMRY’D”/FALLING THROUGH THE ICE WITHOUT A LEG UP WHILE ICE AGENT COMMITS SUICIDE AS AMERICA MURDERED!
THE COWBOY AND THE LADY (https://www.facebook.com/ThomRene2016/)·TUESDAY, MAY 10, 2016 (https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-cowboy-and-the-lady/being-emrydfalling-through-the-ice-without-a-leg-up-while-ice-agent-commits-suic/1053861558016896)
By: Thom Davis & Rene’ Powers, The Cowboy And The Lady
WILL THE WEIGHT OF FEDERAL AGENTS AND INFILTRATOR LIES CRACK THE ICE UNDER YOU?
WHO IS NEXT TO BE DEAD BY "SUICIDE", MURDERED BY AMBUSH OR KIDNAPPED BY UNLAWFUL WARRANTS? DON’T LET OTHERS GET “EMRY’D” BY THE LIES OF INFILTRATORS ASSISTING TO FRAME INNOCENT AMERICANS! ARE YOU WALKING ON THIN ICE BECAUSE YOU LOVE America?
As this article goes public it is our intention to give you some ahaa moments today, each day until our country gets back on track. We are fed up with watching innocent men and women’s lives stolen from them and we are tired of watching America stolen from us all. Are you even the least bit curious of how certain men or women end up in charge of the lives of good Americans as leading figures in legal cases?
As an ICE agent commits suicide because of the truths he knew we ask you to THINK about what is causing all of these actions. This ICE agent fell through the ice because the truth was too heavy for him to bear and he just could not participate in murdering America with that badge. Yes, there are good guys behind the badge, but the tyranny is too much for the honorable men and women to bear witness too and assist in. What kind of man or woman can do it, can help murder America? http://marygreeley.com/?page_id=274... (http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmarygreeley.com%2F%3Fpage_id% 3D27472&h=aAQHUTb0b&s=1) The note, which says it was written over the course of a full week in advance, outlines why the officer chose to shoot himself:
“The America I grew up in, and cherished, has been murdered by its own federal government. Our Constitution has become meaningless and our laws politicized so badly, they are no longer enforced except for political purposes” the note said. “Our elected officials are, to a person, utterly corrupt and completely devoid of any love or respect for the country which pays them. To them, everything is about getting and keeping power, and making illicit money from backroom deals.”
Good men and women wear the badges and uniforms too, so why is it we see so many behind the badge who have been involved in criminal investigations while the good guys either turn their head or commit suicide “JONESING FOR AN ARREST”:https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-... (https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-cowboy-and-the-lady/jonesing-for-an-arrest-fbi-special-agent-involved-in-killing-of-suicidal-civilia/1051606188242433)

LISTEN!! IS THIS IS WHY THEY ARE TAKING MIKE EMRY DOWN AND FRAMING HIM??!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfcaIsAdW2c&feature=share&app=desktop
We have watched as good research has proven, beyond any doubt, that the Whistle Blowers held in the Oregon case are innocent, other than those who assisted the Feds in this entire charade played out for all to see. As criminals get freedom for framing innocent men we watch as evidence is withheld that should be freeing them.
We have messages daily asking “why isn’t any of the information found being used to free the prisoners?” Our answer is always, “We just don’t know, but by commonsense one has to ask if it may be because those in charge of the messages of innocence have more to gain ($) by keeping the information from the case?” This may be a case of give the messenger heck for NOT delivering the message?
What the Cowboy and Lady find is that the infiltration by what is seen as "assistance" are surrounding the Patriots. the "IN YOUR FACE" facts are on the tip top surface for anyone who chooses to look. Have you researched any of the associations around anyone you know wrongly incarcerated? What we find is that the America we know is exactly how the ICE agent described in his suicide note referenced above (did you actually read it?).
Are you going to allow America to have “Suicide by Federal Government?”
The truth is right there, it is something that we find too important to let stay under any rug. Want to know? LOOK! if you hire someone to nanny your child, do you just read the glowing bio/resume they give and hand them the key to your treasures? NOT IF YOU ARE SMART YOU DON'T! Isn't freedom worth the same protection?
Shouldn't one seek to know the intentions of others who have your family and freedom in their hands? We seek for ALL of you who consider yourself interested in any political prisoner held as a POW to look! We know Harry Reid is one who has "put" people in place in Nevada and Oregon, we know there are interesting reports on a list of those around the Patriots, AND there are others not so "harry reid".
The less obvious need more attention as it is distracting to continue researching Reid, the gig is up and we all know he is "Dirty Harry", but what about the ones who are NOT so "sinister" looking? WELL DARN IT LOOK!! These men and women unlawfully held need us to have their backs and if all we do is talk about "Dirty Harry" we miss the "in your face" plants.
*Do you know who Charles Dyer is? If you do not know who he is then i suggest you read, Charles is a good man framed YEARS ago and many of the same players in the Bundy/Hammond saga know of him too well, as some of the same “infiltrators” were there.
*Do you know that Mike Emry was a whistle blower, fully one that knows the facts and truth? and mike sits in a jail cell framed on gun charges? Do you know who Schuyler Barbeau is? Well, Schuyler is in jail in Washington on gun charges, for a 200 dollar tax and supposed short barrel which was not on the gun but an INFORMANT was helping him sell...yes, like Mike, Schuyler was sold down the pike and again, some of the SAME players around Schuyler too...
*Do you know that these prisoners are all whistle blowers? Held as POW's of war under the lieber codes? You surely want to read about the lieber codes and other articles written by the Cowboy and Lady as it may get you reading truth rather than fiction of MSM.
*Do you know that Waco and Ruby Ridge held many of the same players AND that the stories put out by MSM and the Feds are FULL of as many holes as the bodies that had to be buried from the debacles, why? TO SHUT THEM UP!
*Do you know that mind control is REAL and that if you look just a little you may find it has been used in the Oregon theater of (UN)justice?
*Do you realize that if this theater being played out in front of all our eyes is not shut down then we watch innocent men spend the rest of their lives in jail? How many are already behind bars or dead because of set ups and theater created by the Feds?
*Do you know that the men/women used as the infiltrators are ones who may have a huge reason to set up others and assist the feds in their folly? They have their own freedoms at stake, so they help trap others to save their own freedom! And have some stolen MILLIONS from others that will never be seen again, but will be forgiven for their “assistance to the prosecution counsel?” These are valid questions you should seek answers to.
*Whistle Blower pictures and information: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/... (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1018905631512489.1073741831.101015993905372 5&type=3)
*American men and women just want to live in their freedoms and liberties afforded all, so why are those who seek to defend them murdered, jailed and slandered? WHY DO YOU THINK? Or are you just a voyeur in the moment who watches for the entertainment factor only? Well, entertain this, "if another innocent American can be murdered, jailed and slandered, by the assistance of plants around them SO CAN You!

I put this in this thread because Mike Emry and Vicky Davis, The Voice of Idaho, were investigating the sensless killing of Jack Yantis when this went down.

It is a sad day today that we report Emry did access the weapon in question without the owner knowing, but it was not to sell that weapon it was to show the buyer representative DOC (informant?) what one he would BUILD would look like.
The Cowboy and Lady have been sent some information regarding updates on the arrest of Michael Emry, investigative reporter. This is written through Emry’s words as passed along by an anonymous source. We ask that you read this recognizing too many innocent men and women are being set up on false charges, trapped in the theater of Federal agents plays. These arrests would not happen if not for the acts of ABC agents in assisting the entrapped individuals. These agents are very good at what they do, they have a lot of practice at it and as this world turns it is evident that the gig must be up on the Feds Folly’s and they are not going down without a fight.
EMRY STEPPED INTO THE BEAR TRAP AND DIDN'T EVEN SEE IT. He is not anti government from what we know of him, but he is pro-transparency and anti any actions under the color of law that harm men or women of America. He has been called a militant and more names as labels of propaganda.
This isn’t Emrys first hunt for truth that has found him in jail on false charges, but this time he may find himself doing more time for giving the “Doc” his time. What we know of Emry is he is a man set on getting the truth out about public servant involvement in crimes and we believe it is a bad choice he made in trusting the wrong people that has him behind bars, once again.
Emry was talking about needing a new truck as his was failing in pulling his trailer. He was approached by a man called “Doc” at a Committee of Correspondence meeting. Doc had a “friend” who might be able to help Emry. Doc is one who was at the meetings of the Committee of Correspondence in Grant County.
Doc's story was that he had a friend, who had the type of truck Emry was looking for. Doc had a friend with a diesel pick up and would take Emry's pick up and a gun Emry would assemble for him in trade. The guy would buy the parts and Emry would assemble it for him. Doc asked Emry about the potential trade as he said he knew Emry was a gun builder and it would give the full value his “friend” wanted for the diesel truck.
Emry did not take the gun in question out of Idaho to sell it, it was to show Docs prospective buyer what the one he would build would look like. It appears this man Doc led him into this as he said he would need to SEE what Emry was going to build for the trade.
Mike still had the keys to the shop he previously worked at, it was his friends place and hadn't been used for years. His friend, Jim Weaver, did not know he had borrowed it and that appears to be Emry's biggest downfall. The gun is what Emry was asked to possible build one of.
Emry was not able to get the gun back to Idaho as he was being heavily followed the last three weeks and realized something was wrong. Did he scrape off the serial number? It appears so, it also appears it was to possibly protect his friend who owned it. Why didn’t he call Weaver to let him know he had it and couldn’t get it back? Possibly because he already knew he was being set up at this point and did not want any appearance of involvement of Weaver? BUT, the main issue here, is once again, the Feds laid the plan in place and Emry stepped into the trap. Emry knows now he stepped into the Bear trap and took the bait laid out. (this is proof that no matter how much experience you have with the agencies one is still able to be manipulated by those in charge of the script)
Emry and the Committee of Correspondence have been working tirelessly to whistle blow and bring out the truth to all of America. Doing this type of reporting is expensive when one does it without a paycheck. Emry and his wife Becky have sacrificed everything to get the truth out. Emry’s need for a new truck, coupled with the lack of funds, allowed for this folly of the Feds.
(those who work for no pay to get the truth are often compromised for this very reason, as the Feds have an endless supply of tax payer funds to do this. Yet, they say they do not have enough funds for financial crimes involving the theft of lands? Theft of identities? Theft of Securities stealing homes from Americans? Real terrorist threats? How can there be so much money used to incarcerate Whistle Blowers but not enough for the real criminals? And, why are criminals given their freedom in order to entrap the innocent?? we digress)
We also have been made aware that a man who has been attended a few of the committee meetings named Harry, has worked vigilantly to destroy Emry and his wife's reputation. Why? To distract from the information being shared here? What is the story of "Harry"?
We say to all others seeking to unveil truth, "you must realize that nothing you do is going unnoticed. If you are in the midst of this world of Whistle Blowing." The Feds will do all they can to entrap and destroy a good man or woman who has evidence that the ABC agencies and the employees are acting under the color of law and outside of the Constitution. (When did it become a crime to uncover criminals?)
It is our belief that Emry had no intention of stealing anything, what he intended was to build a weapon lawfully as requested of him by Doc for this so called friend, so that Emry could have a truck to pull his trailer. Do any of you see the evidence here of SET UP BY FEDS?
Sad day, another good man is sitting in jail because others set him up. He did not intend to steal any gun, he was building one like it for Doc's so called "friend". Seems there really was no friend who was buying anything.
We ask you to THINK! Who are Harry and Doc? Why are they attempting to divide and conquer? Why was Doc undercover in another case of Skinheads he helped take down in Oregon? Why? Why? Who? What? THINK THINK!
Do you know who Schuyler Barbeau is? Schuyler is sitting in a Washington jail on an indictment that mirrors this in the fact that a man approached him to sell a gun, and that man was an FBI informant too, with ties to people involved in the take down of the Whistle Blowers in Oregon, similar players, same theater.
AND, seems ol Doc was involved in buying up some domain names a few weeks ago that tied the hands of some in a committee attempting to name a new news agency, WEEKS AGO? Isn't that telling???
Do not destroy Emry over this, remember what he has previously done to help our nation, you know about the Contra Affairs right? Emry whistle blew on that case. It was a sting operation in Nashville that Emry assisted in getting what was needed to stop the crimes he uncovered. In an interview previously Emry talks about how his mother in law was murdered, the Feds tried to frame him then too.
Emry is not a stupid man, but boy he made a bonehead move by trusting in this "Doc"...is Doc the doctor of doom for Patriots in Oregon? Seems so, wouldn't want him diagnosing any of our needs. THINK PEOPLE!
Wink Wink, by the way, seems there are some "envelopes of evidence" that once released will bring down a lot of people in high places. Stay tuned folks this "operation just got more interesting". Thanks to the Doc.
Read the signs.
No theft charges have been added to the arrest as yet and it is our hope that Jim Weaver will see the forest for the trees here and not press charges. He knows Emry is a good guy and he himself says he never had trouble with Emry and thought of him as a friend. We hope he reads this article and knows the intent was not to take anything.
A reporter named Les Zeitz had already attempted to set Emry up using another man with the similar name who had tax problems. Emry was letting Zeitz step into his own bear trap, but seems the traps set by the Feds, with the help of many compromised people, have entrapped Emry in order to cover for the actual criminals?

This arrest makes me wonder if a 2nd amendment defense is in order. I do know if I was on the jury I would not convict. "shall not be infringed".

The Six Things Americans Should Know
About the Second Amendment.
by Richard W. Stevens

http://jpfo.org/images04/smallline-17.gif
A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state,
the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
FIRST: The Second Amendment protects an individual right that existed before the creation of any government. The Declaration of Independence made clear that all human beings are endowed with certain unalienable rights, and that governments are created to protect those rights.A. The unalienable right to freedom from violent harm, and the right to self-defense, both exist before and outside of secular government.
1. Torah: Exodus 22:2.
2. Talmud: Jewish law set forth in the Talmud states, “If someone comes to kill you, arise quickly and kill him.” (Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin. 1994,2, 72a; The Babylonian Talmud: Tractate Berakoth. 1990, 58a, 62b).
3. Roman Catholic Doctrine: Christian doctrine has long asserted the right and duty of self defense. “Someone who defends his life is not guilty of murder even if he is forced to deal his aggressor a lethal blow.” See Catechism of the Catholic Church 1994, sections 2263-65 (citing and quoting Thomas Aquinas).
4. Protestant Doctrine: Individual has personal and unalienable right to self-defense, even against government. Samuel Rutherford, Lex, Rex [1644]1982, pp. 159-166, 183-185 (Sprinkle Publications edition.) Jesus advised his disciples to arm themselves in view of likely persecution. Luke 22:36.
B. John Locke’s Second Treatise of Government (1690) aimed at reforming Britain’s monarchy and parliamentary system and limiting the power of government, and profoundly influenced the Founders and all Western Civilization. John Locke explained that civil government properly exists to more effectively protect the rights that all individuals have in the “state of nature.” The individuals have the rights to life, liberty, and property. They give civil government the power over themselves only to the extent that it better protects those rights. Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence,specifically declared that the ideas of John Locke’s Second Treatise were “generally approved by the citizens of the United States.”Jefferson mandated that Locke’s Second Treatise be taught in the University of Virginia.
C. Christian religious thinkers, such as Samuel Rutherford (in Lex, Rex, 1644) argued that man’s rights come from G-d. Using Biblical principles and examples, they argued against the notion that kings ruled by divine right. To be legitimate authorities, all governments must uphold man’s rights and do justice. Otherwise, the people owe a lawless and tyrannical ruler no allegiance at all.
D. Cicero, Rome’s leading orator, had early argued that the right to self-defense was natural and inborn, and not a creation of the government. The right to use weapons was a necessary part of the right to self-defense — any view to the contrary was silly nonsense. [Stephen P. Halbrook, That Every Man Be Armed: The Evolution of A Constitutional Right (1984), p. 17, fn 76-77.]
E. The right to keep and bear arms simply implements the unalienable right to individual self-defense against aggression of any kind. The Second Amendment refers to “the right of the people” (not the state) as a pre-existing right that government must respect.F. The United States Supreme Court, in United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez, indicated that the word “people” in the Second Amendment referred to individuals, not to states. [494 U.S. 259 (1990)] (This was not a holding or ruling of law, but an observation by the Court).
http://jpfo.org/images04/smallline-17.gif
SECOND: The language of the Second Amendment prohibits the federal government from “infringing” on this right of the people. There is nothing ambiguous about “shall not be infringed.” (See Webster’s New Universal Unabridged Dictionary, 2d ed.1983, p. 941.) The language of the Second Amendment is about as clear as the First Amendment’s prohibiting Congress from infringing the right to freedom of speech, press, and religious expression. There is no logical reason to read the Second Amendment as a weak statement, while treating the First Amendment as a strong protector of rights.
A. The Second Amendment protects a fundamental right and should be read broadly because it implements the right of self-defense. Self-defense is the ultimate right of all individuals to preserve life. The rights to a free press, free speech, assembly, and religion are extremely important — but none of them matters very much if you can’t defend your own life against aggression. None of them matters very much when an evil government is fully armed and its citizens are disarmed.
B. Article I, Section 8, clauses 15 and 16 of the U.S. Constitution refer to Congress’s powers concerning the state militias. Clause 15 empowers Congress to “call forth” the state militias into national service for specific purposes. Clause 16 empowers Congress to organize, arm and discipline the state militias, and to govern the militias while they are in national service. The Second Amendment confines Congress’s power by guaranteeing that the Congress cannot “govern” the militias right out of existence and thereby disarm “the people.”
http://jpfo.org/images04/smallline-17.gif
THIRD: The Second Amendment refers to “a well-regulated militia.”The right of the people to form citizen militias was unquestioned by the Founders.
A. The Federalist Papers, No. 28: Alexander Hamilton expressed that when a government betrays the people by amassing too much power and becoming tyrannical, the people have no choice but to exercise their original right of self-defense — to fight the government.[Halbrook, p. 67]
B. The Federalist Papers, No. 29: Alexander Hamilton explained that an armed citizenry was the best and only real defense against a standing army becoming large and oppressive. [Halbrook, p. 67]
C. The Federalist Papers, No. 46: James Madison contended that ultimate authority resides in the people, and that if the federal government got too powerful and overstepped its authority, then the people would develop plans of resistance and resort to arms. [Halbrook, p. 67]
D. There was no National Guard, and the Founders opposed anything but a very small national military. The phrase “well-regulated” means well-trained and disciplined — not “regulated” as we understand that term in the modern sense of bureaucratic regulation. [This meaning still can be found in the unabridged Oxford English Dictionary, 2d ed. 1989, Vol 13, p. 524, and Vol 20. p. 138.]
E. The Federalists promised that state governments and citizen militias would exist to make sure the federal military never became large or oppressive. To say that the National Guard replaces the notion of the militia runs contrary to what the Founders said and wrote.F. The Third Amendment: Expressly restrains the federal government from building a standing army and infiltrating it among the people ...and at the people’s expense ... in times of peace. The Third Amendment runs against the idea of a permanent standing army or federalized National Guard in principle, if not by its words.
http://jpfo.org/images04/smallline-17.gif
FOURTH: The Second Amendment begins with the phrase “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State.” Some people argue that this phrase limits the right to keep and bear arms to militias only ... which they say means the National Guard. Very recent research shows, however, that it was the style of writing legal documents in the late 1700’s to include a preamble. The Constitution has a preamble, the Bill of Rights has a preamble — yet people don’t argue that the Constitution is limited by the preamble. Professor Eugene Volokh at the UCLA Law School has examined numerous other state constitutions of the same general time period, and observed this kind of preamble language in many of them. (The Commonplace Second Amendment, 73 N.Y. Univ. Law Rev. 793-821 (1998)). The preamble states a purpose, not a limitation on the language in these government charters.
A. Examples:
New Hampshire’s Constitution in 1784 contained a preamble for the freedom of the press: “The Liberty of the Press is essential to the security of freedom in a state; it ought, therefore, to be inviolably preserved.”
Rhode Island’s 1842 state constitution recited a preamble before its declaration of the right of free speech and press: “The liberty of the press being essential to the security of freedom in a state, any person may publish his sentiments on any subject, being responsible for the abuse of that liberty...”
New Hampshire’s Constitution in 1784 also contained a detailed preamble and explanation of purpose for its right to a criminal trial in the vicinity where the crime occurred.
The Massachusetts Constitution of 1780, the 1784 New Hampshire Constitution and the 1786 Vermont Constitution, all contained preambles or explanations of the right of freedom of speech and debate in the state legislatures.
The New Hampshire Constitution also gave an explanation, right in the text, for why there should be no ex post
B. The Second Amendment falls right within the style of legal drafting of the late 1700’s. The “militia” clause emphasizes the individual right to keep and bear arms by explaining one of its most important purposes. The militia clause does not limit the right.
http://jpfo.org/images04/smallline-17.gif
FIFTH: Before the Civil War and the Fourteenth Amendment, many states enacted laws that made it illegal for slaves and for free black people to possess firearms (unless they had their master’s permission or a government approval). [See list, with sources in law reviews, in Gran’pa Jack No. 4 (http://jpfo.org/filegen-a-m/gj.htm#gp04) ]
A. The Second Amendment did not protect black people then, because(1) it was understood to limit the federal government’s power only and (2) black people were not considered citizens whose rights deserved to be protected. [Dred Scott decision, 60 U.S. 393 (1857) (Judge Taney observed that if blacks had the privileges and immunities of citizenship, then they would be able to freely possess and carry arms ... unthinkable to Southern slave owners.)][Halbrook, pp. 98, 114-15]
B. The Second Amendment was designed by people who did not want to become slaves to their government, but they were unfortunately and tragically willing to permit private slavery in some states. Now that slavery is abolished, however, all citizens of all races should enjoy the Second Amendment’s legal protection against despotic government.
http://jpfo.org/images04/smallline-17.gif
SIXTH: Several Federal Circuit Courts of Appeal have held that the Second Amendment does not confer an individual right, but only a collective right of states to form a militia. The federal court decisions cite United States v. Miller as precedent. The 1939 Supreme Court case, United States v. Miller, did not make that ruling. Even in Miller, where only the prosecution filed a brief and the defendant’s position was not even briefed or argued to the Court, the Supreme Court held that the federal government could only regulate firearms that had no military purpose. [307 U.S. 174 (1939)] [See JPFO special report about Miller case (http://jpfo.org/filegen-a-m/miller.htm)]
A. Nowadays, gun prohibitionists want to illegalize firearms unless they have a “sporting purpose.” The “sporting purpose” idea was part of the Nazi Weapons Law of 1938. JPFO has shown that the U.S. Gun Control Act of 1968 imported much of its organization, content, and phrasing, from the Nazi Weapons Law. [See ... Zelman, Gateway to Tyranny (http://jpfo.org/filegen-a-m/gateway.htm)]
B. In contrast, even under the U.S. v. Miller case, the Second Amendment protects the individual right to keep and bear military firearms. Learn how the federal courts deceptively and misleadingly employed the Miller decision to deny the individual right to keep and bear arms in Barnett, Can the Simple Cite Be Trusted?: Lower Court Interpretations of United States v. Miller and the Second Amendment, 26 Cumberland Law Review 961-1004 (tel:961-1004) (1996).
C. A federal judge recently struck down a federal “gun control” statute as unconstitutional in United States v. Emerson,46 F. Supp. 2d 598 (N.D. Tex. 1999). In his scholarly written opinion, District Judge Cummings exten-sively reviewed the law and historical foundations of the Second Amendment to conclude that the right to keep and bear arms protected by the Second Amendment is an individual right. The Emerson decision remains pending an appeal in the Fifth Circuit as of this date.
Before a government can become a full-blown tyranny, the government must first disarm its citizens. The Founders of this nation, from their own experience, knew that when government goes bad, liberty evaporates and people die ... unless the people are armed.
http://jpfo.org/images04/smallline-17.gif
CHALLENGE TO AMERICANSAs you read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights:
(1) Look at the enumerated powers of the federal government;
(2) Look at the express limitations on federal power as set forth in the Second, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments;
(3) Ask yourself, where does the federal government get any power at all to regulate firearms?
(4) Ask yourself, why don’t the high school and college textbooks devote any time to the history, philosophical basis and practical meaning of the Second Amendment?
And then consider that law students and future lawyers likewise have received precious little education about the Second Amendment. Realize, too, that the judges know just about as little. Then imagine how little the average American knows — based on the average public school coverage of the Constitution. The protection of our sacred right of self-defense against both petty criminals and oppressive government — the right of civilians to keep and bear arms — is in your hands.

I have a genuine question. How many men does it take to establish a militia?
I have one problem with the question as I asked it because it makes an implication that I do not think should be there. Can the question be asked this way:
How many of man does it take to establish a militia?
palani
13th May 2016, 04:27 AM
More importantly than how many is HOW do you regulate a militia? Does a gun do it? Nope .... requires ARMS ... aka seals (for communicating valid orders), flags (identify groups on the battlefield) and coats of arms (for identifying armored individuals). The right to defend oneself is a provision of the law of nature which includes necessity. When it is necessary to protect ones life anything may be used.

Lawyers are masters of word doublespeak. In other context this is known as the sucker punch. You direct the attention to one thing to draw it away from another. Whether this method is honorable or dishonorable is beside the point. I don't find it particularly honorable but the maxim is 'let he who would be deceived be deceived'.
Weapons and arms are not synonymous. They are not the same word so why would anyone believe they mean the same thing? Weapons are offensive. Arms are used to regulate armies.
Glass

I think militias and armies are differnt things. Possibly they are opposing things. It seems history suggests the same.
Isn't there a question as to standing armies being lawful? At least the founding fathers indicated that standing armies should be recognised as a threat to the freedom of the people.
If the sitting congress deems it appropriate to establish a standing army by way of volunteer or draft (forced volunteerism) then I think the threat is realised.

Our constitution says a standing army can be raised for two years. The navy is perpetual.
Army Clause
The Congress shall have Power To ...raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years....
ARTICLE I, SECTION 8, CLAUSE 12
Teacher's Companion Lesson (PDF) (http://www.heritage.org/constitution/content/pdf/lesson-6.pdf)
For most Americans after the Revolution, a standing army was one of the most dangerous threats to liberty. In thinking about the potential dangers of a standing army, the Founding generation had before them the precedents of Rome and England.
In the first case, Julius Caesar marched his provincial army into Rome, overthrowing the power of the Senate, destroying the republic, and laying the foundation of empire.
In the second, Cromwell used the army to abolish Parliament and to rule as dictator. In addition, in the period leading up to the Revolution, the British Crown had forced the American colonists to quarter and otherwise support its troops, which the colonists saw as nothing more than an army of occupation.
Under British practice, the king was not only the commander in chief; it was he who raised the armed forces. The Framers were determined not to lodge the power of raising an army with the executive.
Navy Clause
The Congress shall have Power To ...provide and maintain a Navy....
ARTICLE I, SECTION 8, CLAUSE 13
Teacher's Companion Lesson (PDF) (http://www.heritage.org/constitution/content/pdf/lesson-6.pdf)
Because the Founding generation considered navies to be less dangerous to republican liberty than standing armies, the Navy Clause did not elicit the same level of debate as did the Army Clause (see Article I, Section 8, Clause 12).
Their experience taught them that armies, not navies, were the preferred tools of tyrants.
Readers of Thucydides could view a navy as particularly compatible with democratic institutions.
They were also aware of how much the economic prosperity and even the survival of the country depended upon sea-going trade.
Consequently, the Framers of the Constitution imposed no time limit on naval appropriations as they did in the case of the army.

Militia Clause
The Congress shall have Power To ...provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions....
ARTICLE I, SECTION 8, CLAUSE 15
Teacher's Companion Lesson (PDF) (http://www.heritage.org/constitution/content/pdf/lesson-6.pdf)
For the Founders, the militia arose from the posse comitatus, constituting the people as a whole and embodying the Anglo-American idea that the citizenry is the best enforcer of the law.
"A militia when properly formed," wrote Richard Henry Lee in his Letters From the Federal Farmer, "are in fact the people themselves...and include all men capable of bearing arms."
From its origins in Britain, the posse comitatus (meaning to be able to be an attendant) was generally understood to constitute the constabulary of the "shire."
When order was threatened, the "shire-reeve," or sheriff, would raise the "hue and cry," and all citizens who heard it were bound to render assistance in apprehending a criminal or maintaining order.
The Framers transferred the power of calling out the militia from local authorities to the Congress.
The Anti-Federalists were not pleased. They wanted the militia to remain under state control as a check on the national government. Many feared that an institution intended for local defense could be dispatched far from home. As Luther Martin objected:

Teacher's Companion Lesson (PDF) (http://www.heritage.org/constitution/content/pdf/lesson-6.pdf)
For most Americans after the Revolution, a standing army was one of the most dangerous threats to liberty. In thinking about the potential dangers of a standing army, the Founding generation had before them the precedents of Rome and England.
In the first case, Julius Caesar marched his provincial army into Rome, overthrowing the power of the Senate, destroying the republic, and laying the foundation of empire.
In the second, Cromwell used the army to abolish Parliament and to rule as dictator. In addition, in the period leading up to the Revolution, the British Crown had forced the American colonists to quarter and otherwise support its troops, which the colonists saw as nothing more than an army of occupation.
Under British practice, the king was not only the commander in chief; it was he who raised the armed forces. The Framers were determined not to lodge the power of raising an army with the executive.
Navy Clause
The Congress shall have Power To ...provide and maintain a Navy....
ARTICLE I, SECTION 8, CLAUSE 13
Teacher's Companion Lesson (PDF) (http://www.heritage.org/constitution/content/pdf/lesson-6.pdf)
Because the Founding generation considered navies to be less dangerous to republican liberty than standing armies, the Navy Clause did not elicit the same level of debate as did the Army Clause (see Article I, Section 8, Clause 12).
Their experience taught them that armies, not navies, were the preferred tools of tyrants.
Readers of Thucydides could view a navy as particularly compatible with democratic institutions.
They were also aware of how much the economic prosperity and even the survival of the country depended upon sea-going trade.
Consequently, the Framers of the Constitution imposed no time limit on naval appropriations as they did in the case of the army.

The Only Known Informant At Malhuer That Nobody Talks About

http://thepetesantillishow.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/informant.jpg
GMN© STAFF WRITER @ Guerrilla Media Network LLC
Fri. June 10, 2016
It was late afternoon when Idaho Independent Broadcaster, Michael Emry knocked on door 123 at the Silver Spur Hotel. With great excitement Mr. Emery explained he had just spent the afternoon chatting with Brandon Darby, Breitbart News’ Texas Bureau Chief who was staying in a room right across from mine on the second floor. It was January 5th 2016, just a few of days into the Malhuer Refuge occupation when it was confirmed; The Nations most notorious FBI informant was on the ground in Burns, Oregon.
WHO IS BRANDON DARBY
All accounts depict Darby as an ambitious and talented organizer, who came to New Orleans after Katrina and persuaded FEMA to rescue his friend, Robert “King” Wilkerson, a former Black Panther. He founded the organization, Common Ground, a collective that spearheaded disaster relief in New Orleans following the deadly hurricane , and that organization now chronicles his descent into infamy ending with the revelation that he had been working as an FBI informant. The story of Brandon Darby is a few years old, but cases of FBI entrapment, have made it imperative for activist to understand the ways in which the U.S. government is using informants to wage war on dissent.
It is clearly documented that Darby had a troubled youth during which he spent much time as a runaway, it created a sort of psychological vantage point where he was searching for a place to belong and New Orleans served that purpose. Common Ground leaders had a major influence on Darby, acting both as his personal and political mentors. But after a period of turmoil with the “group” in which his political beliefs are being sharply called into question, Darby distanced himself from Common Ground and his friends, and turned to the FBI, where he formed a bond with his fatherly “handler”. When Darby came out with the truth, this is what he wrote:
“The simple truth is that I have chosen to work with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/f/federal_bureau_of_investigation/index.html?inline=nyt-org), and I strongly stand behind my choices in this matter.” ~Brandon Darby
Activist groups he had worked with were alarmed after Darby’s confession saying, “The emerging truth about Darby’s malicious involvement in our communities is heart-breaking and utterly ground-shattering,” said the Austin Informant Working Group, a collection of activists from the city who worked with Mr. Darby. “Through the history of our struggles for a better world, infiltrators and informants have acted as tools for the forces of misery in disrupting and derailing our movements.”
“I am well aware,” he said, “that I’ve stepped outside of accepted behaviors and that I’ve committed a sin in the eyes of many activists.” ~ Brandon Darby
Michael Emry, the Voice of Idaho broadcaster who would later be stung by the FBI, spent a lot of time speaking with Mr. Darby while in Burns Oregon. We know Mike as a friendly outgoing personality who loves to talk about weapons, it will be interesting to learn exactly what it was he told Brandon Darby during his long conversations with him in that hotel room at the Silver Spur.
We do know that Darby, arrived early on in Burns and spent a considerable amount of time inside the Refuge during the first days of the occupation.
On January 4th, 2016 Darby posted to Brietbart this information in an article titled: Life Inside the Armed Oregon Standoff HQ: Guns, Food and a Baby (http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/01/04/life-inside-the-armed-oregon-standoff-hq-guns-food-and-a-baby/)
The armed protesters who took over the administrative buildings of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge allowed this reporter a glimpse inside their headquarters—a bunk house for federal workers.After explaining the reasons behind my presence, I was taken to their headquarters. There were a series of leaders with whom I had to speak to in order to be allowed to stay embedded inside their main facility. Most of the people I spoke with didn’t want to be on film; however, they didn’t mind telling me about their lives and their reasons for being there. It was easy to forget that they were protesters who took up arms and seized federal facilities. ~ Brandon Darby
Not one person I talked to at the time Darby was there, including some in main stream media, knew who Brandon Darby was. Mr. Darby’s story got my attention when I watched a documentary called, Better This world (http://betterthisworld.com/) about 2 years ago. I knew exactly who Brandon Darby was when he was introduced to me by Mike Emry. I educated Mike at great length on the subject and Mike came to me later saying;
Brandon is a great guy and says he has put the whole FBI thing behind him ~ Mike Emry
Mr. Darby’s admission to being an FBI informant in 2008, answered lingering questions in the case of the two Texas men, David McKay and Bradley Crowder, both also from Austin. McKay was sentenced to 48 months in prison and three years of supervised release, Crowder, 24 months in prison and three years of supervised release. The FBI, under considerable pressure to produce results, has resorted to unjust measures to create villains of domestic terror say Crowder and McKay, who still believe they were entrapped by Brandon Darby.
http://thepetesantillishow.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/McKay-Crowder.jpg
This case is only two of hundreds that raise questions about the dividing line between covert operations and government entrapment. Have government informants been given too much leeway? In the eyes of James Weddick, one of several FBI veterans, the answer is yes:
“Before 9/11 it was eyes and ears only. Now it’s eyes, ears, and the informant’s mouth.” In recent years, these surveillance techniques have become ominously extreme.
Although Brandon Darby, currently considers himself a right-wing political commentator, and now refers to Crowder and McKay as “American-hating Americans,” the reality is that the two boys’ progression to militant activism was undeniably influenced by his words and actions. In an effort to “better this world,” a phrase taken from Darby himself: (http://www.alternet.org/story/151597/30_years_in_prison_for_saying_the_wrong_thing_how_ the_fbi_entraps_us_citizens_to_feign_success_again st_terror)

Government informants are taking suspects to the edge of the pool and pushing them in. ~ Brandon Darby

Michael Emry: A Notch in the Gavel of a New JudgePart 1
http://i0.wp.com/tvoinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Michael_Emry_at_Horseshoe_Bend.jpg?zoom=2&resize=150%2C150
On the morning of May 6, 2016, the FBI executed a search warrant on the property of Michael Emry, owner of The Voice of Idaho News and The Voice of Grant County Oregon News. Michael was the embedded reporter for the Idaho III% during the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. After that ended with the murder of LaVoy Finicum, Michael moved over to Grant County to establish a media operation to support a citizen’s Committee of Correspondence. Committees of Correspondence were the American colonists trusted lines of communications in the years before the Revolutionary War.
http://i0.wp.com/tvoinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/The_Gallows.jpg?zoom=2&resize=300%2C224
Michael is a foreign weapons specialist. He knows how to rebuild and re-manufacture weapons discarded by the military after they have been used in combat. He loves guns and he loves to talk about guns. He also has a natural talent for organizing people. That’s a skill he honed during his military service to our country. As a middle-aged man with personal knowledge of the horrors of war, he uses his knowledge of weapons for street “creds” and in a kind of benign bait and switch way. The message he was trying to convey was “yes… there are guns – I know all about them, but we have something even more powerful – we can be our own media”. And everybody who knows Michael knows that’s the truth.
When the Bundy Ranch situation in Nevada happened in 2014, it was a watershed event. The alternate media explained the issues – not the mainstream media. The mainstream media painted the Bundys and all of the people there as outlaws but when the intricacies of the abuse of regulatory authority were explained by the alternate media, the entire picture of the Bundy Ranch Stand Off changed. The mainstream media was completely discredited. The Bundys were the victims. The federal jackboots were the aggressors and they were being used to defend the criminality of the administrative-bureaucratic state and politicians like Harry Reid.
As an observer to the Stand Off and as a man who had seen combat in third world countries, Michael didn’t want to see it here. He knew that ultimately, the only solution for government corruption is to inform public opinion – to become the media. As a result of the Bundy Ranch Stand Off, he established an alternate media operation in Boise, Idaho called The Voice of Idaho News (TVOINEWS.COM).
Years before the Stand Off, I saw that our country had taken a wrong direction and I couldn’t in good conscience stand by and do nothing. My chosen path was to become an information resource for the young people who I knew would inevitably rise up against the tyranny and injustice that was coming at them. I was a Lone Ranger when I started a website and started researching and writing so I maintained a low profile. In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act ~ Eric Blair aka George Orwell. Even when working with other people over the years I preferred to stay more underground than above ground. That changed when I met Michael.
Michael’s wife, Becky Hudson is a social media expert. When they started TVOI, she went on a mission to find writers. I wasn’t on Facebook but someone who knew me and knew that I was in Idaho told her about me. Becky emailed me to tell me what they were doing and to get my phone number. I gave it to her and Michael called me. I talked to him for a long time on the phone before I said I would write for them. Over the next year or so, I continued to probe Michael – looking for hidden motivations and ulterior motives because I’m not a person who trusts easily or quickly. I’m always on guard but I never, not even one time detected any malice or self-interest in Michael. His pureness of spirit and good intention shines through his rough masculine exterior.
Though we’ve had our ups and downs – mostly due to my mercurial temperament, we have been three amigos on a mission to challenge the mainstream narrative by bringing a new perspective to the news. Michael’s support gave me the courage I needed to step out of the shadows – at least partially. And though I cringe as I write this, I am 100% on Michael’s team and I intend to tell his story.
Most American men don’t have enough calcium in their spine to meet the standard of a loaf of Wonder Bread but not Michael. Michael Emry is an ordinary man who was doing something extraordinary and he is in jail for his trouble. To all the lounge lizard arm chair quarterbacks, the mainstream media and alternative media with their million dollar setups who say there had to be a better way, I say damn you all to hell! If there was a better way name it! When the government is corrupt and the media is their partner in the corruption… when the politicians are for sale to the highest bidder, where do you turn? What do you do? Put up or shut up!

Michael Emry arrived in Burns, Oregon on January 1, 2016. He was there as the embedded reporter for the Idaho III% to cover the rally showing support for Dwight and Steven Hammond that was to be held on January 2nd. The Hammonds were ordered to turn themselves in to U.S. Marshals on the 4thto serve their second terms in prison for crimes they didn’t commit. Through a procedural trick in the law combined with prosecutorial abuse (http://thetechnocratictyranny.com/featured/prosecutorial-abuse-through-procedure/) of power, they were convicted of being eco-terrorists which carries with it a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison. The first judge in the Hammond case refused to impose the mandatory minimum because it was a violation of Article VIII of the Constitution:
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
He gave them a sentence of 3 months and 1 year respectively. The prosecution appealed the sentences to the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals that then ordered the Hammonds back to jail to complete the full five year sentences.
After the rally, the occupation of Malheur Refuge was announced by Ammon Bundy. Nobody but Bundy’s closest circle was prepared for a takeover of the Refuge least of all TVOI News. Michael stayed in Burns to cover it even though it was very difficult. It was TVOI’s first big story that required an on-ground-presence which is very expensive. There was a mad scramble for donations both for expenses and equipment upgrades just to be able to do it.
The occupation ended with the murder of LaVoy Finicum on January 26that a roadblock on U.S. 395 between the towns of Burns and John Day, Oregon. Ammon and Ryan Bundy, LaVoy and several others were headed for a community meeting in Grant County that was organized by a logger named Tad Houpt. It tends to get lost in the human drama of the Bundy’s occupation of Malheur, 2014 Nevada standoff and the murder of LaVoy, but the central issue and cause of the growing dissent is the government’s policies of economic and cultural destruction of rural America.
The eastern part of Oregon defines rural. There are thousands of acres of open space with very few people and they suffer from a dearth of information – both coming in and especially getting information out. They don’t have the quality of high speed communications that is readily available in most places and their printed news is basically a tabloid that is published once a week. Michael saw that as an opportunity to help them establish their own media operation similar to The Voice of Idaho News (TVOINews.com) so he stayed in Burns and continued to meet with the Committee of Safety that was organized by Ammon Bundy before the occupation.
On February 11, 2016, the story moved to Grant County when the manager of the Emergency Communications Center, Valerie Luttrell, filed a complaint (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2715684-Complaint-Valerie-Luttrell-dispatch-manager.html) against Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer. Sheriff Palmer is a constitutional sheriff and very popular among the rural residents of Grant County.
On February 18, 2016, Les Zaitz of the Oregonian (http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/02/grant_county_sheriff_viewed_as.html) wrote an article in which he quoted an unnamed dispatcher to say, “I felt uncomfortable knowing that I had to relay vital and confidential information to someone who may not be trustworthy”. The someone she was referring to was Sheriff Palmer. For a dispatcher who is low man on the totem pole to make a statement like that is evidence of a conspiracy against Sheriff Palmer. She stepped way out of bounds for her position. She wouldn’t have done that without political backing source unknown – and cover provided by Les Zaitz.
Towards the end of February, Becky joined Michael in Oregon. During this time, they were not only working on the issue of media, they were trying to figure out what they were going to do personally. They were liberated from Boise and for personal reasons having nothing to do with Malheur or media operations; they didn’t want to go back.
At some point in March, Michael began working with Ted Houpt and a group of people in Grant County. They were interested in forming a Committee of Correspondence that would work in cooperation with a new media platform provided by Michael. The purpose of the Committee was to both review the mainstream coverage of issues in the area and to report on events and issues from the perspective of the rural residents of the area. The decision to establish The Voice of Grant County Oregon in conjunction with a Facebook page of the same name was made in the last week of March. On April 3, 2016, hosting space for the website was purchased and I began building the website (http://www.thevoiceofgrantcountyoregon.com/). It was at that point that Les Zaitz began stalking Michael and other members of the Committee of Correspondence – trying to get somebody – anybody to talk to him.
Between Les Zaitz’ position at the Oregonian and his interest in Malheur Media, LLC along with his wife Scotta Callister and his brother Lyndon Zaitz, they pretty much have a media monopoly in rural Oregon.
In an article posted on the Malheur Enterprise website (http://malheurenterprise.com/about-us/), there is an announcement that the trio purchased the Enterprise in October of 2015. The Malheur Enterprise is the newspaper of Vale, Oregon in Malheur County. The article said that Callister was the retired editor of the Blue Mountain Eagle in John Day and Lyndon Zaitz is publisher of the Keizertimes, a community weekly paper outside of Salem.
This is a map showing the terrain between Vale, Oregon and Salem.

On April 5, 2016, Les Zaitz sent an email to The Voice of Idaho requesting an interview.
http://i2.wp.com/tvoinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/2016_04_05_Email_1-e1465565694729.jpg?zoom=2&resize=150%2C116 (http://www.thetechnocratictyranny.com/PDFS/Zaitz_Email_04_05_0433.pdf)

Then started the media terrorism – blackmail using a blatantly false accusation with the implied threat – “either talk to me or I’ll call the IRS and report my suspicions”

I was told that Les Zaitz was hounding other members of the Grant County Committee of Correspondence as well but Zaitz’ most high profile target is Sheriff Glenn Palmer. Sheriff Palmer had to complain (http://www.westernfreepress.com/2016/02/11/reporter-harasses-oregon-sheriff-over-militia-standoff/) to the local prosecutor causing the prosecutor to warn Zaitz to not call him at his home and to stop hounding Sheriff Palmer.
After the email containing the blackmail threat, TVOI News began their own investigation to try and figure out who is Les Zaitz really. On the first search, I found out that Les Zaitz is President of the Grant County Economic Council (http://www.gcoregonlive.com/bus_display.php/783). That was an ‘ah ha’ moment which is why I wrote Metro Makers at the Door (http://www.thevoiceofgrantcountyoregon.com/sheriff-palmer/metro-makers-at-the-door/) (published April 28, 2016).

I didn’t know what Conscious Culture was so I had to do a search on it. Here are some resources so you can see for yourself:

Inlakesh Festival (http://inlakeshfest.com/)
This one has videos so you can see the culture warriors (http://www.consciousculturefestival.com/video)
Economic Development
I’ve done fairly extensive research on Economic Development in Idaho (http://thetechnocratictyranny.com/economic-development/). That research was done as a result of a complaint by a resident of Star, Idaho, a small rural town outside of Boise. The corruption that I documented in Star (http://www.channelingreality.com/IEF_Agenda21/The_Falling_Star.htm) parallels the corruption I’ve seen in Grant County. For the record, Economic Development (https://www.eda.gov/) is a government program that began in the 1960’s as part of the Great Society.
Carnegie Foundation President John W. Gardner was the Architect of the Great Society and the Economic Development Administration was created as part of it. What has happened however is that a network of International Economic Developers (http://www.iedconline.org/web-pages/inside-iedc/board-of-directors/) have embedded themselves in our community colleges and universities (http://thetechnocratictyranny.com/featured/the-real-raw-story-02/) and into the system of Economic Development. They tap into all grant and funding programs intended for the American people – not imported foreigners. With the foreign money comes foreign occupation of our small rural communities.
The purpose that the “mainstream” media plays is to normalize it – play it as if it is perfectly normal for large populations of foreigners – including Muslims from the Middle East and Africa to move into small towns in Idaho. And as we recently found out by looking at Les Zaitz and the Grant County Economic Council, it’s coming to rural Oregon.
There is a formula plan that has been replicated and used all over our country.
First they kill your economy to increase the poverty rate: Distressed Areas in Oregon (http://www.oregon4biz.com/Publications/Distressed-List/)
And then they establish EB-5 Regional Centers (http://www.oregon4biz.com/Global-Connections/EB-5/Resources/) to get foreign money by selling American citizenship. The foreign investment money is directed to the commie-connected and created by the Economic Developers that are designed to put American businesses out of business – with a few exceptions. The exceptions are show ponies that the media uses to show that everything is still normal and if you aren’t winning in the global economy – it’s just because you are a loser. And you are a loser because you can’t compete with a subsidized business that is designed to put you out of business.
When this conversion starts to happen, a lot of economic development money flows into an area and the local politicians either feed voraciously at the trough – or they are run out of office as in happening to Sheriff Palmer.
http://youtu.be/9-FGajLJ5lk
It may seem that I’ve veered off Michael’s story but I haven’t. It’s just that the story is so much bigger than the story of one individual. Michael was in Oregon to establish a media operation to help the people of Oregon to be able to understand what is happening to their area and for them to be able to report to the rest of the country what is happening by establishing a Committee of Correspondence. That’s the real reason Michael is in jail – not because he was doing anything that should have drawn the attention of the FBI. Michael was set up. The FBI’s attention was called to him by somebody who really didn’t want new media in the area.

Part 3 of Michael Emry: A Notch in the Gavel of a New Judge
A Public Star Chamber for Michael Emry
http://i1.wp.com/tvoinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Star_Chamber.jpg?zoom=2&resize=150%2C150
Since Michael Emry’s arrest on May 6, 2016, Les Zaitz has been convicting Michael in the media and at the May 24th pretrial release hearing, Assistant District Attorney Nathan Lichvarcik not only echoed Zaitz’s words, he embellished the story by making an accusation that is flat out untrue and for which there is no evidence.
Lichvarcik said that the gun was brought to Oregon for the occupation and his intent was to get the .50 caliber gun to the Malheur Wildlife Refuge occupation – but he couldn’t because of law enforcement presence.
That’s prima facie evidence that the U.S. Justice Department has no respect for the law, no respect for facts in evidence and no respect for truth. I’m not sure if what a prosecutor says to a judge is considered de facto under penalty of perjury or not, but that statement was a fraud upon the court. The prosecutor’s assertion was completely made up and then Les Zaitz echoed it making a mockery of justice and completing the circle for a public Star Chamber for Michael.
How do I know that the District Attorney made that up? Because when Michael planned to go to the rally, he was worried about his car. It was not running well. Ammon Bundy’s business is fleet sales of vehicles. Ammon loaned Michael an SUV for the trip to Burns so that Michael would have a reliable vehicle and plenty of room for his camera equipment. Michael drove that SUV to Burns and he continued to drive it until Lisa Bundy came to the Refuge to retrieve Ammon’s things. If there had been any intent on Michael’s part to bring that .50 Cal chunk of iron to the Refuge, it would have been there and it would have been fully functional and ready to be used. But he didn’t have any such intention and as he said in his statement, he went to Boise to get it sometime in April or late March for the purpose of showing the quality of his workmanship to Marc S. “Doc” O’Dell who had approached Michael about the possibility of going into business building guns – a perfectly legal business with a Class II license.
In the first article Zaitz wrote on May 6, he said that in an interview with Michael on Thursday, the day before the arrest, Michael was “vague about why he’d moved to Grant County where he established “The Voice of Grant County”. That statement makes Michael seem like a shady character – secretive. Does this look secretive? Can we figure out what Michael might have had in mind from that image?
http://i2.wp.com/tvoinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Grant_County_Home_Page.jpg?zoom=2&resize=499%2C242 (http://www.thevoiceofgrantcountyoregon.com/)
And the Facebook page by the same name (https://www.facebook.com/The-Voice-of-Grant-County-Oregon-901946629902924/)… the CIA’s profile database… there’s nothing secretive on that page either.
As far as the Committee of Correspondence is concerned, the concept is very, very simple. A person would have to be thick as a brick (and you know who you are) not to grasp the concept that the purpose is to analyze media coverage and to report to the committee what is true about the coverage, what is false and what critical information was omitted and then to make a report available to the public.
A Committee of this type is needed in rural Oregon because of United Nations Agenda 21/Agenda 2030 (http://www.thetechnocratictyranny.com/PDFS/Sustainable_Development_and_Its_Influence_on_Minin g.pdf). The government has an alleged mission of preservation of land for future generations but there is so much corruption in the government that preservation is a synonym for theft of private property through regulatory racketeering, criminal harassment and a list of other crimes right up the line to treason through fraudulent debt creation and debt-for-nature swaps selling the country right out from under us.
http://i2.wp.com/tvoinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/BLM_Agenda21.jpg?zoom=2&resize=579%2C350 (http://thetechnocratictyranny.com/featured/stolen-lives/)
So what this article is going to be an approximation of what a Committee of Correspondence would do with the information above concerning Michael Emry’s case. It’s an approximation because I’m not going to eliminate the snark. The analysis of the public Star Chamber proceedings in the case of Michael Emry will be found on my website, The Technocratic Tyranny because I have more flexibility in formatting a page than is provided on the TVOI website.

Informant in Emry Case linked to KKK, JDL and FBI

[Editor’s note: If you are not familiar with Michael Emry’s story, links to all stories written are at the bottom]
http://i0.wp.com/tvoinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Odell_Feature_Picture_50.jpg?zoom=2&resize=300%2C200
A couple of days ago, Michael Emry called to tell me that his second pretrial release hearing had been postponed until Friday, July 15th at 1:30. The Judge had a scheduling conflict and the alternative to postponement was to have another judge hold the hearing. Michael’s attorney told him it was better to postpone because it gave him more time to go through the discovery documents. I also think it’s a good thing because I’ve been doing some discovery of my own in a manner of speaking.
Michael’s first pretrial release hearing was on May 26. On May 28, Les Zaitz, “investigative reporter” for OregonLive wrote an article quoting from what the U.S. Attorney Nathan Lichvarcik said about Michael. When Lichvarcik said these things, I’m sure my gasp was audible and Becky – stifling a scream ran out of the court room. I was in shock because everything Lichvarcik said was a lie – and I knew he had absolutely no evidence for any of it. His entire statement was a fabrication.
May 28, 2016 ‘Weapon of war’ destined for occupied refuge, prosecutor says (http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/05/weapon_of_war_destined_for_occ.html)
The machine gun, the prosecutor said, is “capable of killing a person from over a mile away, taking out the engine block of a vehicle, shooting through a brick wall.”
And Michael R. Emry’s intent, he said, was to get the stolen .50-caliber gun to the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation.
“He couldn’t because of the law enforcement presence,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Nathan Lichvarcik.
The prosecutor made the disclosures but provided few details during a federal court hearing this week in Eugene. Emry is being held on federal weapons charges.
…The militants who took over the refuge Jan. 2 maintained security patrols outfitted with side arms and rifles. The machine gun probably would have been the biggest weapon there had Emry succeeded. The .50-caliber gun, Lichvarcik said, is “a weapon of war” and “the silverback gorilla of the gun world.”
Lichvarcik said an informant told authorities about Emry’s plan to take the weapon to the refuge, which occupiers held for 41 days.
The informant was Marc S. “Doc” O’Dell as I revealed in The Entrapment of Michael Emry (http://thetechnocratictyranny.com/featured/the-entrapment-of-michael-emry/). O’Dell is a life-long criminal who has so many victims that they set up a website both to tell their stories, collect all evidence in a central repository and to look for other victims. I have a 296 page document with image copies and stories and hard evidence from his victims. (Note: I turned over this information to Michael’s attorney and to law enforcement.)
The big question for me was always, why did Doc O’Dell set Michael up? Michael wasn’t doing anything that should have put him on anybody’s radar. O’Dell could have done it for money because the FBI pays informants but when one looks at the MSO file – evidence collected by the victims of O’Dell, it brings to mind another possibility. (MSO = Marc S. O’Dell).
It turns out that Marc S. “Doc” O’Dell in addition to being an FBI informant, was a Grand Wizard of the KKK in Virginia. But it gets better because O’Dell was also working for the Jewish Defense League.
This is an image from the MSO file that was apparently the front page of the forum:
http://i2.wp.com/tvoinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Who_is_Odell.jpg?zoom=2&resize=558%2C349
The following is an excerpt from a letter written to law enforcement by O’Dell’s seventh wife.

So isn’t that interesting? The Jewish Defense League works with the FBI and their operatives lead KKK groups of skin heads.
When Michael was telling me about Marc S. “Doc” O’Dell, he told me that there was a pod of skin heads that live on or close to Harry Stangel’s ranch where O’Dell lives. What that told me is that O’Dell was up to something.
Add to that, Les Zaitz, the “investigative reporter” is also the president of the Grant County Economic Council (GCEC). The GCED is – or was, the dba name for the Institute of Conscious Culture. The idea of Conscious Culture is transformation of the culture.
http://i1.wp.com/tvoinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Festivals_for_cultural_transformation.jpg?zoom=2&resize=524%2C92
The young people who participate in these festivals are culturally confused “trendies” that become social justice warriors championing the cause of cultural cannibalization. They think they are free spirits – the 21st century version of hippies but what they really are – are dupes for an agenda that very likely, they don’t even understand.
http://i0.wp.com/tvoinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Culture_warriors.jpg?zoom=2&resize=422%2C238
Recall that when Lou Dobbs interviewed Les Zaitz (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keqjChqqX1Y), Zaitz said that he was so busy investigating the people at Burns and out in the desert, that he didn’t have time to look at the corrupt politicians who did nothing to help the Hammond Family. And yet, Zaitz completely missed a KKK Grand Dragon and a pod of skin heads in his county.
This is speculation on my part, but it makes me think that Michael inadvertently walked into what would have been a false flag, staged game scenario like the one that happened in Sacramento, California.
7 stabbed at neo-Nazi event outside Capitol in Sacramento (http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-neo-nazi-stabbed-20160626-snap-htmlstory.html)
These kinds of events are being staged all over the country for the purpose of destabilization. The objective seems to be to stir up a civil war – which justifies militarization of the police. The problems created are bigger than the local police can handle. Local police ask for help and they get mercenaries – Private Military Contractors. Its really quite a clever way to “privatize” the police as our country is being dismantled and occupied.
From the beginning of this story, it was obvious that Zaitz, the FBI, the prosecutor and no doubt the judge thought they were going to have a big time terrorist to try. Big time cases are career builders for participants in the Justice System – and that includes defense attorneys. The judge made sure that Michael had a good attorney rather than a public defender. The conviction of Michael was going to be a notch in the gavel of a new judge – a prize case for the resume.
Instead, what they got was a middle-aged man who had no criminal record except in connection with helping to put a drug dealer in jail and who was in obviously desperate financial straits. The carrot of a legitimate business opportunity was dangled in front of Michael and he seized it. It was a set up from beginning to end making Michael yet another victim of a corrupt system that hires criminals to set people up.

Michael’s Pretrial Hearing will be at 1:30 on Friday at the Federal District Court in Eugene.
If you are in the area, stop by and show some support for Michael. We will be there around noon on Friday.

There is some serious Zio-Nazi ass-covering going on in Oregon today – Les Zaitz of OregonLive has unleashed a blitzkreig of lies on his Twitter account today.
http://i0.wp.com/tvoinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Zaitz_Twitter_big.jpg?zoom=2&resize=580%2C403 (https://twitter.com/LesZaitz?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7C twgr%5Eauthor)
Here is a link to the original complaint filed. As you can see, there is no belt for the chunk of iron in the box.
Criminal Complaint filed May 6, 2016 (http://tvoinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2016_05_06_Criminal_Complaint_1-main.pdf)
Now, magically, two days after I exposed the government’s star http://i0.wp.com/tvoinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Neo_Nazi_Image_tiny.jpg?zoom=2&resize=31%2C31 witness’ connections to the KKK, JDL and the FBI, all of a sudden a belt for the M2 is found? The amateurishness of it is laughable.
Informant in Emry Case Linked to KKK, JDL and FBI (http://tvoinews.com/informant-emry-case-linked-kkk-jdl-fbi/)
And the second lie… every minute of Michael’s time in Oregon has been accounted for – and there are motel records and witnesses to prove it. Ammon Bundy did loan Michael an SUV for the trip to Oregon for the rally because Michael’s car wasn’t working very well – and Michael had all the camera equipment.
Michael drove to Burns in a caravan with the Idaho III%. Ammon drove his own vehicle – when I don’t know, but I don’t believe it was with the Idaho III%.
What I do know is that Ammon Bundy and Ryan Payne stayed out at the refuge. Michael was in town at the Silver Spur with all the rest of the reporters. Michael had nothing to do with the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. He came to Burns to cover the rally on January 2nd, 2016 and he stayed to cover what happened after the rally.
If the U.S. Attorney Nathan Lichvarcik did in fact, file a superceding indictment with a magically found belt, it proves that he has no integrity and these latest accusations are a clear sign of desperation.

https://challengingtherhetoric.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/michael-emry-mugshot.jpg?w=940By CHERI ROBERTS for Challenging the Rhetoric
More details about Oregon Standoff participant Michael Emry have emerged in a government filing (http://www.seditionists.com/emry14.pdf) meant to stop Emry from winning release while awaiting trial on federal weapons charges. In May, self-styled journalist Michael Emry was denied pre-trial release, but on Friday, July 15, at 1:30pm PDT, Emry will once again go before the judge for a status hearing in the Federal District Court in Eugene, Oregon.With the offer of a place to live and gainful employment, Emry hopes it will be enough to make the judge see things his way. However, the document reveals that Emry has confessed to the crimes in recorded jail calls and says,“In the world of federal gun possession crimes, possessing an unregistered .50 caliber machine gun is among the most serious and dangerous. This is a gun with military, war-time capabilities. By Defendant’s own admissions, this machine gun could fire 550-650 rounds a minute. In the hands of someone with bad intentions, that many rounds of .50 caliber ammunition – as depicted by the representative .50 caliber round at the far left in the photo below – could be devastating.”
Emryis the owner of The Voice of Idaho (http://tvoinews.com/podcasts-2/michael-emry-founder/) (TVOI) an independent ‘media’ organization he founded as a propaganda arm for militias, particularly the Idaho’s Three Percent, a militia organization that was heavily involved in Burns, Oregon, and Harney County during the 41-day armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refugenear Burns, Oregon earlier this year. There are currently 26 co-defendants awaiting trial in the case.
According to the document, upon his initial arrival in Oregon, Emry stayed in a house in Burns, Oregon with Ammon Bundy, Ryan Payne, and other militants. Emery spent copious amounts of time in Burns as well as at the refuge during the Standoff.
Emryhelped to create the Harney County Committee of Safety (http://www.rocklandtimes.com/2016/01/06/the-oregon-ranchers-battle-through-their-own-eyes/) and admitted to agents that he traveled from Idaho to Oregon in late December 2015 in a van loaned to him by Ammon Bundy, a leader of the armed occupation.According to The Rockland Times (http://www.rocklandtimes.com/2016/01/06/the-oregon-ranchers-battle-through-their-own-eyes/),
“[Emry] became involved with the Hammond family to guide and assist them and the citizens of Harney County in putting together a County Committee of Safety (http://www.hccommitteeofsafety.org/) to include III% militia groups (111% refers to the 3 percent of colonists who fought in the American Revolution), who in turn would provide enforcement capabilities to a people’s grand jury.”Emery spent his time in Burns as well as in and around the refuge. Unlike others who bunked together or flopped where they could at Malheur during the Standoff, Emry was said to have his own private sleeping quarters. He was sometimes seen passing out pocket Constitutions to FBI agents (http://freedomoutpost.com/patriot-iiier-michael-emry-presents-fbi-agents-with-pocket-constitutions-at-oregon-compound/).
Authorities say on January 11, 2016, a Deschutes County Sheriff’s Deputy reported that Emry approached a checkpoint at the Tactical Operations Center at the Burns airport and told the Deputy that there was a .50 caliber belt-fed machine gun on the refuge.
They had perceived Emry’s statement about the machine gun as an attempt to intimidate them.It is not yet clear whether Emry stole the gun while borrowing Bundy’s van, or if Bundy was aware of the machine gun and other weaponry. In several reports online and in social media, Emry had claimed to have only left Oregon once other than to attend the funeral of Robert ‘LaVoy’ Finicum, an occupier who was killed by Oregon State Police on January 26, the night Bundy and several others were arrested after a felony traffic stop en route to a meeting in John Day where they were to meet up with ‘Constitutional’ Sheriff, Glenn Palmer.After the occupation was over, Emry and wife Becky Hudson (https://www.facebook.com/blackjack800?fref=ts) made a permanent move to John Day living in a travel trailer parked at a Grant County campground while founding a second outlet of TVOI, establishing The Voice of Grant County (TVGC).
But, on the morning of May 6, Emry was arrested (http://www.flashalertnewswire.net/images/news/2016-05/3585/94250/Emry_Michael_-_Arrest_Warrant__and__Complaint_-_May_6_2016.pdf)and booked (http://www.deschutescountyjail.org/InmateRoster/DCJ_inmatelist.html)into Oregon’s Deschutes County Jail after a search warrant of his vehicle and 5th-wheel trailer was executed.
During the search, law enforcement found Emry to be in possession of a ‘Ma Deuce’ or Browning M2 .50 cal. fully automatic — and fully operational, machine gun, at least one belt of blank .50 caliber shells, a blasting cap for bombmaking and more.
Cell phones, computers, and other electronics were taken from the trailer along with other evidence.One Oregon Standoff militant, Scotty Willingham, told The Oregonian (http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/05/weapon_of_war_destined_for_occ.html) that Emry was not at the refuge solely as a journalist, but instead was there for his “weapons expertise”.
Emry is currently facing federal charges for possession of a machine gun and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. Emry considers himself to be the Picasso of machine guns (https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016/05/09/%E2%80%98picasso-machine-guns%E2%80%99-arrested-fbi-oregon) and admitted that he “obliterated” the weapon’s serial number before bringing it across state lines. He has yet to be charged, pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 5861(j), for transporting the gun, or pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 5861(d) for illegally possessing a destructive device – specifically, a blasting cap which is a detonator for a bomb; both of which constitute two more separate and potential additional criminal charges that could be added.The gun is valued at approximately $25,000.00 and was stolen from Emry’s former Idaho employer Jim (http://www.opb.org/news/series/burns-oregon-standoff-bundy-militia-news-updates/micheal-emry-machine-gun-arrest-shop-owner-boise/) Weaver (http://www.opb.org/news/series/burns-oregon-standoff-bundy-militia-news-updates/micheal-emry-machine-gun-arrest-shop-owner-boise/), who was unaware of the left until he was contacted by media after the story broke.
Prosecutors stated Emry also possessed the parts to manufacture another machine gun.https://challengingtherhetoric.files.wordpress.com/2016/07/emry-machine-gun.png?w=186&h=102&crop=1 (https://challengingtherhetoric.wordpress.com/2016/07/14/did-the-voice-of-idahos%e2%80%8b-michael-emry-drive-ammon-bundys-van-to-steal-and-transport-across-state-lines-the-stolen-browning-m2-50-cal-machine-gun/emry-machine-gun/#main)

Just prior to the execution of the search warrant to seize the machine gun, the document says Emry was in negotiations to sell the machine gun to a person in Oregon that he was told was a felon and the captain of a Texas militia group. This person instead, was in fact, an undercover law enforcement officer. There were at least two confidential informants (CI) and/or sources (CS) who helped in the investigation as well.
A week after the arrest, YouTuber, Phillip Danny Sass, aka Professor Doom (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7e-oXHJYOCu8dGJxOZ1GiQ), published a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV3rnYj4-PU&feature=youtu.be) claiming Emry, had gotten into a heated exchange about weapons, on a conference call with 3-4 other people where he both admitted to stealing the weapon (http:/) and destroying the serial number.
After Emry’s arrest, one CS was said to feel relieved telling authorities that, Darryl Thorn, one of the MNWR occupants who was charged with a different offense, had talked about the machine gun and wanted another occupier to help him retrieve it from Emry. Thorn also asked for training on how to use the .50 caliber rifle according to the memo.U.S. prosecutors say one “cooperating witness” [acknowledged so far] in this case, who is believed by many to be Bundy’s bodyguard and a co-defendant in both Oregon and Nevada, Brain ‘Booda’ Cavalier, said Emry stated he wanted to take the machine gun onto the MNWR during the occupation,. Adding he could not because of the law enforcement presence. He/she also said that Emry had a large arsenal of weapons, access to grenades, and had spoken about shooting police officers; pointing out a bullet from the .weapon would penetrate the side of a police car and a Kevlar vest.According to the government’s opposition filing, Emry’s release would put the community in danger and still considers him a flight risk. Citing United States v. Hir, 517 F.3d 1081, 1086 — 9th Cir. 2008, (see also 18 U.S.C. § 3142(g)) prosecutors affirm in order to determine whether pretrial detention is appropriate, the court is to consider four factors in making a ruling:
the nature and circumstances of the offense charged;
the weight of the evidence against the defendant;
the history and characteristics of the defendant, including the person’s character, physical and mental condition, family and community ties, employment, financial resources, past criminal conduct, and history relating to drug or alcohol abuse; and
the nature and seriousness of the danger to any person or the community that would be posed by the defendant’s release.
07-13-2016 ECF 14 USA v MICHAEL EMRY – USA Opposition to Motion for Release (https://www.scribd.com/document/318317381/07-13-2016-ECF-14-USA-v-MICHAEL-EMRY-USA-Opposition-to-Motion-for-Release#from_embed) by Jack Ryan (https://www.scribd.com/user/8640993/Jack-Ryan#from_embed) on Scribdhttps://www.scribd.com/embeds/318317381/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&access_key=key-KfwUkMxuvnlMojOYp2Ru&show_recommendations=true&show_upsell=true
The motion filed by prosecutors included snippets of testimony from a 2004 Tennessee (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2825815-EMRY-Transcript-Excerpt.html)drug case, in which Emry testified that he illegally built 66 belt-fed machine guns for a Kansas friend’s weapons locker in the event of a civil revolt. Emry said his friend became increasingly “paranoid”and “radicalized”.In addition to dozens of illegal machine guns, Emry also testified that he had also illegally made a silencer and a large bomb out of C-4 for a drug dealer, a man who’d hired him to initially repair car transmissions, in order to kill potential witnesses according to the testimony.
The Govt. said Emry’s bomb had the potential to blow up a room three times the size of a federal courtroom, leaving a crater in the center and blowing out every single wall, turning them to cinder.
Emry became a “cooperating” witness for the prosecution in the 2004 case and was never charged.
So far, it does not appear Emry is a cooperating witness in the Oregon case and some of his supporters have made threats not only to CIs and CWs in the case but also to journalists covering his and other related cases; as well as online followers of the story who did not support the January armed takeover.
Prosecutors say the quantity and significance of the anonymous threats have increased since Emry’s last detention hearing.
Vicky Davis, who writes for Emry’s TVOI, has pumped out multiple false reports claiming Emry was “set-up” and that evidence was “planted”. Davis and Emry’s wife Hudson have both also claimed Emry was innocent in the 2004 case in which he turned States evidence.

The Railroading of Michael Emry
http://i2.wp.com/tvoinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Brandeis_small.jpg?zoom=2&resize=552%2C227
Michael’s third pretrial release hearing was held on July 15th. The first pretrial hearing was on May 9th, but it was cancelled because Michael’s assigned public defender had a conflict of interest – at least that was the story told to Michael. Judge Jolie Russo then assigned Eugene attorney Mark Sabitt to represent Michael. The next hearing was scheduled for May 23rd. Days before the hearing, Mark Sabitt went on vacation so he was not present for Michael’s hearing. Instead he sent his partner who has all of the panache of a limp dishrag. It didn’t occur to me at the time because I’m not familiar with the criminal justice process, that it’s not a usual and customary practice to have a “substitute” attorney. The hearing should have been postponed until Sabitt returned. Mark Sabitt is supposed to be a criminal defense attorney, he knew that his partner could not adequately defend Michael. That would seem to make him an incompetent defense attorney at best and a co-conspirator in the entrapment of Michael Emry at worst.
On May 7th, Les Zaitz of OregonLive, published a story, Oregon Occupation ‘reporter’ has history of bomb making, illegal weapons (http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/05/oregon_occupation_reporter_has.html). Somehow, Zaitz was able to get a transcript of Michael’s testimony during 2004 federal court hearing in Tennessee. That case was supposed to be sealed and yet – Zaitz got a copy of it and published it. How does that happen?
At the May 23rd hearing – Michael’s substitute attorney, Marc Spence did not object when Assistant U.S. Attorney Nathan Lichvarcik introduced the 2004 transcript – using it to argue that Michael was a danger to the community. Michael was not a defendant in that case and anything that happened with that case is irrelevant to the charges against Michael currently. Any half-way competent attorney would have objected to the introduction of it in Michael’s case. What was important and relevant to the case is that Michael is 54 years old and has no criminal history – no history of violence in his past despite what was in the transcript. Marc Spence offered no defense for Michael. He played his part in this script which was to fill the chair of the defense attorney – that’s it.
The next pretrial release hearing was scheduled for July 11. Just before the hearing it was postponed until July 15th. At the hearing on July 15th, we found out why. The extended period of time from May 23 to July 11th was used by Lichvarcik to obtain more information on the 2004 court case and it’s obvious both from the hearing and from his opposition filing that he intends to try Michael on the 2004 court case – and not on the current charges. Lichvarcik gave Michael’s attorney documents on the 2004 court case just before the July 11th hearing giving Sabitt only a few days to read the materials.
In Lichvarcik’s opposition to Michael’s release, he has excerpts from Michael’s testimony in the 2004 case – which by the way actually began around 1999 – not 2004. It ended in 2004. This is the excerpt that Lichvarcik took out of the transcript:
http://i0.wp.com/tvoinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2004_trial_testimony.jpg?zoom=2&resize=551%2C292
Keeping in mind that Michael did not have an attorney in that case and Michael was not a defendant in that case, notice the penalties for the things that Michael testified under oath that he did. There is no prosecutor in the world that would make a deal with a defendant to let him go free when he was looking at charges and penalties like that. A good deal would have been 15 years in prison in exchange for his testimony but that didn’t happen. Why do you suppose that was? Was the U.S. Attorney in Tennessee just a nice guy who decided not to prosecute Michael for what he did? Of course not. There is no prosecutor in the world who is that nice. There is a lot more to the story which is why the case was sealed and why it is prosecutorial misconduct for Lichvarcik to put Michael on trial in 2016 for the 2004 case but that is exactly what he is doing – and without objection by Michael’s attorney Mark Sabitt btw. Apparently “objection” is not in the lexicon of the law firm of Spence & Sabbitt.
Yesterday, when I talked to Michael, he told me that very early on after he was arrested, they offered him a deal. If he would testify against Ammon and the other Occupiers, they would cut him loose – reduce the charges or whatever I’m not sure. The point is, that’s why Michael was set up. Michael went to the rally as a reporter. He stayed in Burns to cover the story and he moved to Grant County to establish a sister media operation to TVOI News.
TVOI News is a registered news agency with the State of Idaho. As a reporter, Michael has Constitutional rights under the first amendment – freedom of the press. They couldn’t compel Michael to give them any information on anything and because of that, they set him up. Entrapment is illegal but that’s what they did to Michael. Michael refused them so now Lichvarcik is trying to up the ante by putting Michael on trial for the 2004 case.
I may not know a lot about the criminal justice system, but what I do know is that prosecutors, judges, FBI, DEA, ATF agents all have an obligation not only to discharge their duties to prosecute criminal offenses, their first obligation is to maintain the integrity of the system itself. If the members of the law enforcement and judiciary communities commit criminal acts in the performance of their jobs, they are no better than the criminals they prosecute. In fact, they are worse because they commit their criminal acts behind the color of law. As we’ve seen in recent weeks with the performance of James Comey and the daily barrage of stories about corruption in the criminal justice system, it appears that the U.S. Justice System is corrupt from top to bottom. While it’s politically correct to say that there are still good people in the system, it’s also true to say that if you lay down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.
At this point, there is no way that Michael can get a fair trial. Pretrial services has been prejudiced by the introduction of the 2004 case. The Judge in the case has been prejudiced for the same reason. The only option Michael has is pull the Trump card and tell his attorney Mark Sabitt, YOU’RE FIRED! And to hope that Michael can get a new attorney that will defend him on the real issue in this case which is entrapment for the purpose of extorting Michael’s testimony against the men of the Malheur occupation.
PS: Michael will have another hearing in two weeks. Nathan Lichvarcik said he needs the time to get more information of the 2004 case without objection by Michael’s “defense attorney” Mark Sabitt.

Emry’s Case Reveals Systemic Corruption
http://i2.wp.com/tvoinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Corruption_is_Legal.jpg?zoom=2&resize=150%2C150
The next day after Michael’s interview with Scott Bennett and Michael Jay on Truth Unite (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNqwugApsxw&feature=share), Michael met with his lawyer and he fired him. Michael was wavering because he always likes to give people the benefit of the doubt that they have good intentions. What put Michael over the top was when he asked his attorney why he didn’t object to the 2004 case being brought into the pretrial. His attorney said, “what was there to object to?” Really? It took nanoseconds for me to think of the word relevance when it was brought up during Michael’s first hearing and it took all the self-control I could muster not to stand up and say, OBJECTION: RELEVANCE (I grew watching Perry Mason). I waited for Michael’s “substitute” attorney to do it, but it didn’t happen.
There have been three pretrial release hearings for Michael and at each hearing, the Assistant US Attorney, Nathan Lichvarcik, has focused almost entirely on the 2004 case at which Michael was not a defendant. Unbeknownst to us, the long delay between the May 23 hearing and the July 15th hearing was so that Lichvarcik could contact the Tennessee court and the people named in the 2004 case to get more information on it. He’s trying to put Michael on trial for the 2004 case.
The case in Tennessee actually began in 2001 or 2002. Before, during and after that trial, Michael worked in the gun business for Class II dealers and he continued to sell guns at gun shows. When Michael moved to Idaho, he worked for Jerry Sweet building and selling guns. Jerry Sweet was a Class II gun dealer and at one time, he had been a state senator and a law enforcement officer. I looked for information on Sweet on the internet but could only find a comment on a post – second comment November 4, 2012 (http://www.ammoland.com/2012/11/my-first-bullet-38-special/).
While working for Jim Weaver, Michael continued to have contact with law enforcement and the ATF. You can’t be in the gun business without the ATF being your “constant companion”. Also, since Class II weapons are for the most part, sold to the military, and to law enforcement, they are your customers as well as your overseers.
In Lichvarcik’s motion to oppose Michael’s release on the grounds that he was a danger to the community and a flight risk, he cited the law under which he was including the 2004 case.
III. APPLICABLE LAW
A. Rules of Evidence Do Not Apply at a Detention Hearing
The Federal Rules of Evidence do not apply in pretrial detention proceedings. Fed. R. Evid. 1101(d)(3); 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f). Accordingly, both the government and the defense may present evidence by proffer or hearsay. United States v. Winsor, 785 F.2d 755, 756 (9th Cir. 1986); see also United States v. Bibbs, 488 F.Supp.2d 925, 925 26 (N.D. Cal. 2007)
B. Standards
Under the Bail Reform Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3142, et seq., which governs the detention of a defendant pending trial, the Court shall order a defendant detained if, after a hearing, it finds that “no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the appearance of the person as required and the safety of any other person and the community.” 18 U.S.C. § 3142(e).
…The United States bears the burden of establishing danger to the community by clear and convincing evidence; risk of flight need only be proved by a preponderance of the evidence. United States v. Aitken, 898 F.2d 104, 107 (9th Cir. 1990); Winsor, 785 F.2d at 757.
…In determining whether pretrial detention is appropriate, the court should consider four factors:
(1) the nature and circumstances of the offense charged;
(2) the weight of the evidence against the defendant;
(3) the history and characteristics of the defendant, including the person’s character, physical and mental condition, family and community ties, employment, financial resources, past criminal conduct, and history relating to drug or alcohol abuse; and
(4) the nature and seriousness of the danger to any person or the community that would be posed by the defendant’s release. United States v. Hir, 517 F.3d 1081, 1086 (9th Cir. 2008); see also 18 U.S.C. § 3142(g).
By those four factors, Michael should be out of jail awaiting trial. That’s worst case. Best case would have been for Michael’s attorney to put the government’s case on trial including impeaching the allegations of Marc S. “Doc” O’Dell’s, putting his character on trial as a government protected career criminal paid informant, examining the integrity (lack thereof) of O’Dell’s FBI – JDL handler and an examination of the motivations for the entrapment of Michael Emry who was engaged in establishing a media operation when he was approached by Marc O’Dell.
Because of the way the pretrial trial works, I decided that I needed to put the MSO File (Marc S. O’Dell) in the public domain so that it could be used as “heresay” evidence to expose the character of O’Dell so here it is – all 296 pages of it plus a couple of separate files – one with color pictures of O’Dell giving the Nazi salute with the skin head group he was obviously leading. Putting it in the public domain makes it fair game for court.
Marc S. “Doc” O’Dell… This is Your Life
MSO History File (http://tvoinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/MSO_History.pdf) – compiled information from the MSO Victims Forum and other websites.

In 2015 (as I recall), the Long Box Ranch owned by either Harry Stangel or his brother – not sure which, was put up for sale. It was listed on the Land and Farm property website. The listing is no longer there – and curiously, it isn’t in the archive either, but, as a long-time researcher, I know enough to capture important information when I find it. O’Dell talked to Michael about converting one of the buildings on the ranch to be a shop for building guns legally under a Class II license.

Systemic Corruption
It’s clear to this writer that what has been done to the justice system is that the real trial has been moved to pretrial – but without constitutional protections for the defendants. Allowing hearsay evidence at pretrial that includes past cases irrelevant to the current case, unchallenged witness allegations through the prosecutor, and newspaper articles written by scurrilous media hatchet men all of which prejudices the court, prejudices the future juries and convicts the defendant on evidence that would never be allowed at trial is systemic corruption. It makes the actual trial proceeding merely perfunctory.
This is the mechanism that allows the unscrupulous media to convict people based on unproven allegations. It doesn’t matter if the person is innocent. Their lives are destroyed by the process itself.
In Michael’s case, any halfway competent defense attorney could have – and would have argued forcefully opposing not only the introduction of the 2004 case, but he would have focused on the fact that Michael was not a defendant, Michael has no criminal history and that Michael continued to work in the Class II gun business in close contact with both the ATF and law enforcement before, during and after the 2004 case. If Michael was dangerous, surely someone in the ATF or law enforcement would have detected it – because that’s what they do for a living right?
A competent attorney would also have brought up the fact that Michael was in Oregon to provide media coverage for the January 2nd rally for the Hammond Family and that he stayed to cover the story as it unfolded. I don’t recall ever hearing from either the defense attorney or the prosecuting attorney that Michael is media. He owns licensed news agency and he was in Oregon as media. Granted, he is not a bubble-headed, bleached blonde who wears tight sweaters and displays cleavage but he didn’t need to be since he wasn’t selling sex – calling it news. He was in Oregon to report the truth on the ground since the despicable mainstream media as represented by Les Zaitz wouldn’t do it.
Let’s Make a Deal
When Michael was telling me about the extortion offer of a deal… he told me they said, what can you give us Michael? How about Jim Weaver? Why would Lichvarcik want Jim Weaver? He didn’t do anything wrong – but he is a licensed Class II gun dealer. How about Ammon Bundy? What can you give us on him? At this point, it should be noted that what Les Zaitz wrote – and the informant, Marc O’Dell presumably swore to in his deposition is that Michael wanted to get the Browning M2 to the refuge but he couldn’t because of law enforcement presence. That one Big Lie is easily dis-proven and it alone discredits Mark O’Dell’s testimony.
So why should you care about any of this if you don’t know Michael? There are two reasons.
Our criminal justice system has become a profit-making business that creates and exploits human tragedy. This is a capitalist country so everybody understands incentives. The incentives in the system itself are to destroy people for profit. You might think that the judges and prosecutors aren’t corrupt but I’d be willing to bet that if you pulled apart their financial lives and the lives of their family members and friends, you would find the reward money and/or perks flow. It might come from jobs for a family member through a non-profit or a foundation, sweetheart deals on homes or cars, etc. There is simply too much money to be made by setting up people and sending them to prison. All you have to do is look at the length of the prison sentences, look at the parasitic businesses that the government contracts with for “services” like drug testing, counseling, look at the money to be made on young people in prison industry jobs working as slave labor. Those are just a few of the most obvious profit centers. From top to bottom our criminal justice system has been corrupted by privatization and profit-making incentives. This country cannot be considered a moral and just country when the underbelly of it is so dirty, disgusting and immoral.
This one is more for law enforcement officers and gun owners. You might want to think very carefully about this. Michael is a recognized expert in Class II weapons. He can not only build them from parts kits, he can rebuild and repair them by fabricating parts from other guns as needed. In short, Michael is part of the supply chain for your weapons. As you watch the Soros-funded communists in the streets of the urban areas and you see how they are being protected and allowed to riot and instigate a war on the police, you should be thinking strategically and you should recognize that YOUR supply chain is being attacked from the rear.
Michael Emry and men like the Bundys and the other men who sacrificed themselves to call attention to the criminal and un-American activities of the BLM – they bleed red, white and blue. They would be the first in line to step up to back you up when the communists move their war to the rural areas. They would do it for their families and their neighbors and that’s pure Americana and war is being waged on them through the criminal justice system – for profit and for political purpose. If you think for one minute that by joining with the criminals against Americans, that you will be protected, think again. This is a high stakes “game” for control of our country and they will squash you like a bug when you are no longer useful.
The only way we will be able to take back our country from the globalist/communists is to return it to the moral foundation upon which it was built. Notice that I didn’t say religious. Notice I didn’t say constitutional. I said moral and a good place to start bringing morality back to government is to start with the criminal justice system because it’s thoroughly corrupt. Unless and until it operates from a moral foundation for the benefit of the people of this country – including the people who come in contact with it, nobody is safe.

The Manufacture of Evidence
http://tvoinews.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Les_Zaitz.jpg (http://tvoinews.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Les_Zaitz.jpg)
From the very first article Les Zaitz has tried to link Michael to the idea of “militia” and to a man named Scotty Willingham – notice the name, Willing-ham. That’s a little joke on the public.
In the article titled, ‘Embedded’ reporter tied to militia arrested in John Day on weapons charges (http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/05/militia-tied_embedded_reporter.html)
“Emry is the second person connected to the refuge occupation arrested in Grant County. Scott A. Willingham, 49, was arrested in March for threatening to shoot federal officials. He subsequently was charged with stealing a federal surveillance camera, removed from a roadway near the refuge as a media stunt staged by the occupiers. Before his arrest, Willingham approached Palmer to ask for sanctuary. Palmer refused, according to Grant County officials, and Willingham stayed with a local family before his arrest.
Is anybody really that stupid to threaten to shoot federal officials and then ask a Sheriff for sanctuary? And the Sheriff that he sought sanctuary from just happens to be Sheriff Palmer… the man that Lez Zaitz has been trying so hard to get rid of – to the point of harassment of the Sheriff. OregonLive – Sheriff Palmer (http://www.ktvz.com/page/search/npgb-bend?q=Sheriff+Palmer&sortBy=maupublicationdate&view=asSearch)
I don’t think so. I’m thinking that Scotty Willing-ham is an FBI plant and he had a B-Movie script that he was playing out. And I knew it from the moment I saw his photos above the article about Michael that followed Michael’s second pretrial hearing.
http://tvoinews.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Scotty_Willingham.jpg (http://tvoinews.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Scotty_Willingham.jpg)Scotty Willing-ham
Do you notice anything unusual about that picture? Scotty Willing-ham is wearing all brand new stuff. Even the strap on the weapon (presumably a weapon) is new and not a speck of dust on it. A Hollywood costume designer picked out his wardrobe and dressed him up.
http://tvoinews.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Scotty_Willingham_2-300x210.jpg (http://tvoinews.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Scotty_Willingham_2.jpg)
Willing-ham was involved in the taking down of the surveillance cameras from the utility poles along with LaVoy Finicum.
Notice the excessive drama as he talks about the camera and equipment.
These particular surveillance cameras were watching for activity as the electric substation. Of all the places in the country where you would want surveillance cameras, the electric substations would be it.
Notice in this video, the excessive drama. Willing-ham seems to know a lot about the cameras as he dramatically opens the case and calls attention to them.
http://youtu.be/dvCAxGmDq9k
Somebody asked how they knew the surveillance cameras were there. LaVoy said “it was reported to us”. Trucks came out here and told us they were putting them in. I wonder who reported that the truck was there installing them? Scotty maybe?
To check my theory on Scotty Willing-ham, I looked up his case on Pacer, the federal district court case tracking system. Mind you, Scotty Willing-ham was an active participant at the refuge. He provided security at the entrance – making him a co-conspirator. Presumably, he stayed at the Refuge with the others. And he participated in the destruction of federal property at the site of an electric substation that is a key component of the electric grid which is a matter of national concern and national security because of the location – at a transmission grid substation. And yet, they only charged Scotty Willing-ham with:
Case 3:16-cr-00125-BR Document 15 Filed 4/19/16 (Original Document 1, Filed 3/22/16 had only 1 count)
http://tvoinews.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Scotty_Willingham-1.jpg
There is one document here that I found particularly interesting. It’s an Order allowing discovery on the United States vs Bundy et. al. and it was signed two days before the plea agreement was signed. Why would the attorney for a guy charged with what amounts to a petty crime that they didn’t connect to the occupation of the Refuge need access to all of the discovery documents for the Bundy matter et. al?
http://tvoinews.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Willingham_Discovery_Order.jpg
Keeping in mind that hearsay is allowed at pretrial – could it be that this is the way the prosecutor manufactures evidence as necessary to ensure that the real targets which are the Bundy’s et. al, are convicted? It’s kind of like outsourcing evidence creation – literally manufacturing state’s evidence. They create what I believe to be a fictional character (alias) Scotty Willing-ham as a plant and then use him in an unexpected way – which is really to allow outside management of evidence outsourced to the attorney of the bit player the government created. Why would I say that besides the minor charges applied to Scotty? It’s because Scotty was assigned a federal public defender at first but the Judge Anna Brown, assigned him a private attorney. Why? The charges were minor and there is video evidence that he did it. The case was a “slam dunk”. It didn’t even require a plea agreement. Guilty was a given.
Case in point on evidence “creation”. In this article written by Les Zaitz (http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/05/weapon_of_war_destined_for_occ.html), published on May 28th, he quotes Scotty as saying:
Scott Willingham, one of the militants who was part of the security force, told The Oregonian/OregonLive that Emry was at the refuge not only for media purposes but because of his weapons expertise. He was not the informant in Emry’s case.
Early in the occupation, he noted, Emry was set up in one of the small houses reserved for refuge employees when most occupiers shared sleeping quarters in a bunkhouse. He also said that he knows of one occupier who obtained an AK-47 semiautomatic rifle from Emry.
The above is a complete fabrication. Michael never spent one night at the Refuge and he wasn’t there as a “weapons consultant”. Michael was in town at the Silver Spur with all the other reporters and the motel records will prove it – but because it’s printed in the newspaper, the prosecutor can use it. It’s hearsay and hearsay is just anything anybody wants to say. See how that works?
Scotty would be useful – except that he’s kind of a moron to say something that is demonstrably untrue. Not to mention that he is a very bad actor. I asked Michael if he knew who Scotty was. He didn’t know – except that he said there was one guy one time that was being overly dramatic talking about how the FBI being at the airport was martial law – apparently trying to get people stirred up – unsuccessfully.
Hearsay evidence hearsay printed in the newspaper by a bit player can then be used as leverage to get one of the other defendants to make a “confession” to something even if not true – in exchange for a plea deal. None of it has to be true, it all comes down to what they can get people to say for a plea deal.

Adams County Shooting
On November 1, 2015, Jack Yantis was killed in a confrontation with Adams County Sheriff’s Deputies Brian Wood and Cody Roland. Idaho State Police investigated this officer-involved shooting incident, and the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) served as Special Prosecutor to determine whether criminal charges were warranted. The written documents generated by the investigation and legal review (excluding items and information exempt from disclosure per Idaho’s Public Records Law) may be accessed by clicking the links below. The investigation also generated more than 30 hours of audio and video recordings and 500 photographs and, upon request, the OAG will make the non-exempt portions of those items available for inspection pursuant to the Idaho Public Records Law.

There will be no Justice for Jack Yantis
⇩ Help us spread Liberty by sharing! ⇩
As of Friday, July 29, 2016, it is official: There will be no Justice for Jack Yantis.
On November 1, 2015, rancher Jack Yantis (http://freedominourtime.blogspot.com/2015/11/open-range-open-season-killing-of-jack.html) from Council, Idaho, was shot 12 times and killed by Adams County Sheriff Deputies Brian J. Wood and Cody Roland.
The Idaho Statesman reports (http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/state/idaho/article92573452.html) that “State and federal prosecutors in Idaho say there is insufficient evidence to convict the two Adams County sheriff’s deputies involved in the fatal shooting Nov. 1 of rancher Jack Yantis on the highway in front of his ranch.”
Idaho’s entirely useless Attorney General Lawrence Wasden said his office was “ethically bound not to file charges,” but added “I’m not saying the actions by the deputies were justifiable nor that they were not justifiable.” That is exactly why charges should have been filed — so that a jury could make that determination!
There were multiple eyewitnesses to the killing who believe it most certainly was a crime deserving of prosecution.
Through information provided by their attorneys, wife Donna Yantis and her nephew, Rowdy Paradis, told the Statesman last fall that they saw the shooting and believe it was unjustified (http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/article43654638.html). Donna, who said she was thrown to the ground and handcuffed, suffered a heart attack soon after. She was hospitalized for a while.
Organizers have already begun putting together a “Rally for Jack Yantis / Protest against his killers (https://www.facebook.com/events/1634413800202321/)” to take place tomorrow morning at the Idaho Capitol.
The AG’s decision not to file charges is not at all unexpected, however. Cops in Idaho have shot and killed at least 54 people over the past 15 years (http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/crime/article86644057.html). Officers were cleared in 50 of those deaths, and four remain under investigation with a similar outcome anticipated.
There will be no Justice for Jack Yantis and in all likelihood no justice for anyone else killed by police in Idaho. That’s how the system works.
http://idahoansforliberty.com/no-justice-for-jack-yantis/
edit: Jack Yantis's widow may be able to file a wrongful death tort claim in the United States Court of Claims because the Adams County Sheriff's Office accepts federal funds.
The same should apply to LaVoy Finicum's murder.
First she must file administrative complaints with the agencies involved. I don't know the details, but I think she would need to file an administrative claim against the Sheriff's Office, maybe the County Commissioners if they accept the funds for the County Sheriff, against the Governor because he accepts the funds for the state. Perhaps on up the chain at the federal level. When nobody pays she has a paper trail to file in the United States Court of Claims. I think it is the Tucker Act.
Q: How do I pursue a claim against the United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act?
A: In most cases involving personal injury, wrongful death or property damage, you can head straight to court to pursue your claim, but if your claim falls under the FTCA, you cannot do that. You must first file an “administrative claim” directly with the agency you believe is responsible for your injuries or damages. Using the previous examples, your claim for property damage or injuries caused by a postal vehicle would be filed with the United States Postal Service, and a medical malpractice claim resulting from care at a VA hospital would be filed with the Department of Veterans Affairs. If you skip this administrative step and file a claim directly in court, your claim will be dismissed. https://www.ohiobar.org/ForPublic/Resources/LawYouCanUse/Pages/Federal-Tort-Claims-Act

I clicked on a link in one of montys posts above that has a diagram of where the people and bull were when Jack Yantis was murdered by those two assholes. There is a photo of the ATV, bull and first responders that were at the scene you can look at. There are 4 photos you can scroll through.
The bull got a broken leg when he got hit by the car. Sounds like the deputies were a couple of dumb asses that had never put a bull down. They shot the bull numerous times before Yantis got there but they hadn't killed him. I've shot cows and bulls many times and it only takes one bullet.
Yantis's nephew said his rifle was about two feet from the back of the bulls head and he was going to finish him off when the deputies assaulted and murdered him. After that they gut shot the bull again and he died a couple of hours later.

Beware, Adams County: A "Sociopath" Will Soon Return to Duty
https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-76o2IKRW1Lg/V57zIZDZdWI/AAAAAAAAM0Q/APfzSD0s6PIoHCyq3mARHvtkk0gsMxBlwCLcB/s400/Officer%2BSafety%2BNotice.JPG (https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-76o2IKRW1Lg/V57zIZDZdWI/AAAAAAAAM0Q/APfzSD0s6PIoHCyq3mARHvtkk0gsMxBlwCLcB/s1600/Officer%2BSafety%2BNotice.JPG)
“I’m a man of faith, and I believe nothing happens without a reason,” insisted Adams County Sheriff Ryan Zollman (http://www.kivitv.com/news/adams-county-sheriff-ryan-zollman-reacts-to-yantis-decision) after Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden placed the state’s imprimatur on the murder of Council rancher Jack Yantis (https://www.scribd.com/document/319690843/Idaho-AG-Finding-on-the-Jack-Yantis-Homicide). To the family and friends of the man who had been gunned down without cause by two of his deputies, Zollman recommended that they accept this betrayal with pious stoicism: “Leave this to a higher power watching over us.”
Adams County residents in the habit of praying would be well-advised to petition Providence for protection, and unbelievers who reside there would be wise to take up that habit. Sheriff Zollman is about to unleash a bloody-handed sociopath on the public.

Lt. Phillips
“He’s startin’ to fit the pattern of a sociopath,” McCall Police Officer Josh Johnson told Lt. Steven Phillips of the Adams County Sheriff’s Office (https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-phillips-22087058), according to a lengthy – and heavily redacted – interview Phillips gave to two Idaho State Police investigators following the November 1st shooting. (https://www.scribd.com/document/319696402/Reports-on-Yantis-Homicide) (That interview begins at page 802 of the 928-page compilation of reports and interviews released by the Idaho AG’s office (https://www.scribd.com/document/319696402/Reports-on-Yantis-Homicide).)
The subject of that interview was Adams County Deputy Brian Wood, who along with Deputy Cody Roland unloaded twelve rounds into Yantis on the night of November 1st after the rancher had been summoned by the sheriff’s office to kill a bull that had been struck by a car on Highway 95. Roland and Wood insist that they acted in self-defense after Yantis supposedly pointed his bolt-action rifle at them. Eyewitnesses, including Yantis’s wife Donna and family friend Rowdy Paradis, report that one of the deputies grabbed the rancher from behind, causing him to stumble, and then the officers shot him in a sudden fit of unaccountable panic.
As Mundanes, Donna Yantis and Mr. Paradis are considered unqualified to testify regarding the exercise of lethal force by two of the state’s consecrated purveyors of sanctified violence. The propriety of an act of state-sanctioned killing is assessed on the basis of the inescapably self-serving “reasonable officer” standard, which is inscrutable to lesser breeds without the badge.
Deputies Roland and Wood were never in serious jeopardy of criminal prosecution. As is the case in every fatal police shooting, the killers were designated the “victims,” and the man they killed was identified as the “suspect.” Attorney General Wasden’s official letter announcing that no charges would be filed against the killers (https://www.scribd.com/document/319690843/Idaho-AG-Finding-on-the-Jack-Yantis-Homicide) carefully insinuates that Yantis was an “angry” and drunken man who precipitated his own violent death, and was largely to blame
for it.

The man they murdered: Yantis with grandchild.
Yantis’s killers have not missed a paycheck since they gunned down the man they had called to help them perform a mildly dangerous task that exceeded their competence. Sheriff Zollman informed the Idaho Statesman (http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/state/idaho/article92745382.html) that since Wasden has certified that “the officers did their job and weren’t excessive in doing so,” the killers would soon be returning to duty.
This means that Brian Wood, who became the subject of an “officer safety alert (https://www.scribd.com/document/319690284/Officer-Safety-Flier-Request-re-Brian-Wood-January-22-2016)” following a domestic dispute with his wife last December, will once again be vested with the supposed authority to detain citizens and use lethal force if they refuse to submit.
“If cops are involved, shots will be fired,” Wood reportedly told William “Chip” Gallagher, his father-in-law. Wood was described as “a highly trained sniper” believed to have “demolition capabilities and access to explosives.
“I don’t know how much you guys know into [Wood’s] background, but he – he is an advanced, skilled sniper,” Lt. Phillips told ISP investigators (https://www.scribd.com/document/319696402/Reports-on-Yantis-Homicide). “I mean, I sent him to the FBI academy … their advance sniper school and he came out on top.”
https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oLIGugg8qe8/V57za8TdNdI/AAAAAAAAM0U/4laReLfGF8gGRl9g4Xu_mkdMbW7MZINegCLcB/s320/Poseur.jpg (https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oLIGugg8qe8/V57za8TdNdI/AAAAAAAAM0U/4laReLfGF8gGRl9g4Xu_mkdMbW7MZINegCLcB/s1600/Poseur.jpg)
Phillips had made Wood a firearms instructor for the ADSO, and his wife had become close friends with Wood’s now-estranged spouse. Following the shooting, Wood had become separated from his wife, and appeared to descend into something resembling a psychosis.
On several occasions, Phillips told the ISP, Wood suggested “he was gonna hurt himself … he goes back and forth on either goin’ to another country or killin’ himself.” In at least one of those instances, Phillips recounted, he indicated that he was no longer interested in fleeing to Latin America, but was “talkin’ about blowin’ himself up.”
This December 29th conversation took place in Phillips’ pickup truck. Worried that Wood was an incipient murder-suicide, Phillips told him (https://www.scribd.com/document/319696402/Reports-on-Yantis-Homicide) that “I’m gonna handle this the law enforcement way…. [W]e’re gonna go ahead and get an endangerment hold on ya.”
At this point, Wood “literally turned in his seat and squared off with me and stuck his hand down by his gun. He says, `There will be gunfire if … we go this route.’”
That was not the last time Wood threatened to murder fellow law enforcement officers. He also reportedly threatened to kill the family’s dogs. Yet Phillips and other officers allowed him free rein -- which left Phillips’ wife horrified that the preservation of Wood’s Blue Privilege could have lethal consequences for his wife – who was also her close friend.
“You need to stop lookin’ at this as a … friend helpin’ a friend, and start lookin’ at this as a cop,” his wife chastised him, according to Phillips’ account. Of course, the problem was precisely that Phillips was acting like a cop – someone loyal to the Blue Tribe – rather than a peace officer acting to protect the public. This might explain why his wife revised her admonition: “Stop lookin’ at this as … a buddy helpin’ a buddy or a fellow cop helpin’ a fellow cop.’”
As Phillips discussed the matter with McCall Police Officer Josh Johnson and McCall Police Chief Justin Williams, both agreed that Wood was displaying sociopathic tendencies. Contingency plans were made to carry out a major operation involving several agencies – the ADSO, the Valley County Sheriff’s Office, the Ada County Sheriff’s Office, the McCall Police Department – in the event that Wood “loses his job or loses his guns.”
Deputy Wood – who claims that he was trained by the Navy SEALs (https://www.scribd.com/document/319690404/Brian-Wood-Discussuses-His-Training) -- had pointedly mentioned to Phillips that his home was situated atop a hill with a commanding view of every possible approach. He also possessed “some exceptional – probably the best on the market sniper equipment…. Down to a $9,000 night vision scope.”
All of this was known to the ISP, the FBI, and the Idaho Attorney General’s Office. This is why an officer safety bulletin was quietly issued on January 22nd – but the public was not made aware that a heavily armed, taxpayer-subsidized sociopath was on the loose.
Wood, who had killed one senior citizen, severely beaten another (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiozqew0Z_OAhUPwWMKHZWOBjUQFggcMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.idahostatesman.com%2Fnews%2Fl ocal%2Farticle47288845.html&usg=AFQjCNHGd5Wk9NO9BSGYjgu-TEcyjhbL6w&sig2=aLLSR5dXSvOjcQUgyskaNg&bvm=bv.128617741,d.cGc), and had explicitly threatened to kill police officers, was never taken into custody. That type of treatment is reserved for annoying Mundanes like Meridian resident Matthew Townsend, who was charged with “witness intimidation” (http://freedominourtime.blogspot.com/2016/02/take-pity-on-officer-safe-space.html) for a Facebook post criticizing Meridian Police Officer Richard Brockbank, an officious costumed coward (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMNpYTqjBjk) who arrested Townsend without cause or justification.

"No f****n' clue": Zollman.
Phillips, to his credit, defied Sheriff Zollman’s demand that he redact his report regarding Wood’s threat to his family and fellow officers.
“I said, `I’m not redactin’ sh*t,’” Phillips recalled to the ISP (https://www.scribd.com/document/319696402/Reports-on-Yantis-Homicide). He grudgingly told the investigators that “my Sheriff and Undersheriff [are] good guys, but don’t have a f***in’ clue how to do their job. They’re in way over their head and with this they have no clue what to do.”
That much is screamingly obvious to any sentient observer.
Bearing in mind Deputy Phillips’ concern that Wood might go on a killing spree if he lost his job, one must ask: Did that possibility color the Attorney General’s conclusions? Did the sacred responsibility to protect the lives of police officers who might be killed in a confrontation with Wood play a role in the decision to clear him, thereby allowing him to resume his career as a state-licensed menace to the hapless residents of Adams County?

One of the politically-correct memes that really fires me up is the bullshit about "there is never a reason to 'murder' a law enforcement officer."
In the case of this animal, it would not be "murder," but merely exterminating a rabid beast.

Setup of Michael Emry Exposed.
https://s19.postimg.org/f8no6qhnn/image.jpg
https://s19.postimg.org/wt6o0fvfn/image.jpg
Attempted set up of TVOI News Michael Emry – EXPOSED!
After last spring’s media reports about the officer safety bulletin, Wood’s attorney, Kevin Dinius, of Nampa, filed the tort claim with Adams County on May 6. It read in part:
“On or about January 22, 2016, the Ada County Sheriff’s Office issued an Officer Safety Bulletin based on statements made by Lt. Steve Phillips of the Adams County Sheriff’s Department regarding Brian Wood’s mental disposition. … Lt. Phillips knew his statements were false. Lt. Phillips’ malicious false statements were motivated by his own personal agenda in ‘romantically’ pursuing Brian Wood’s wife.
Brian Wood’s claims arise from the Adams County Sheriff’s Department and/or Adams County’s negligent and/or intentional failure to protect Brian Wood’s rights.”
Dinius declined to comment on the claim’s assertions or Wood’s plans to sue.
Wood posted on May 8 to his Facebook page:
“My natural response to slander is to be angry at the person who made up the lies, and to defend myself by getting the truth out. … The man who fabricated the information in the law enforcement bulletin lost his job a couple weeks later, and the man who published the bulletin to the Internet was arrested by the FBI the very same day.”
The second man Wood mentioned might have been Michael Emry in Oregon, whom the FBI arrested on May 5 on weapons charges related to a group’s occupation last fall of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
Emry, founder of the websites The Voice of Idaho and The Voice of Grant County (Ore.), was embedded with the occupiers. The day he was arrested, The Voice of Idaho posted details about the officer safety bulletin issued on Wood. Nothing in Emry’s charging documents connects his arrest to the Wood post.
Read more here: http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/state/idaho/article98436327.html#storylink=cpy
I remembered that story because the bulletin was faxed to me and I wrote the article – not Michael. Michael didn’t even know about it. When I wrote the article however, I did not publish the bulletin. Why? Because it was “Law Enforcement Sensitive” and it had personal information about Deputy Wood’s family. Besides it was old and not newsworthy as far as I was concerned except for the fact that I was told there was on-going concern about the stability of Deputy Wood. I did not know that it was a “leaked document” otherwise I wouldn’t have written anything at all about it.
Jack Yantis Case Revisited (http://tvoinews.net/f-idaho/jack-yantis-case-revisited/)
Notice that the date I published my story was on May 5th, 2016. Michael was arrested on May 6th, but the search warrant for Michael’s fifth wheel was signed on May 5th and it was signed by a retired Magistrate Judge, Thomas Coffin, not by the sitting Magistrate Judge Jolie Russo who replaced Judge Coffin upon his retirement.
My head was swimming at this point. I’m thinking what’s going on here? Was the intent to set up Michael with a law enforcement bulletin that would have been a punishable offense if it had been published? Is that why the search warrant included Michael’s computer and all of his papers? Naturally, I reconstructed the timeline.
Timeline
I was contacted around May 3rd by a woman who said she had something she wanted me to write an article about. I thought she was from the Adams County area but I don’t think she was. I don’t remember her name but I did ask Becky about her – and Becky knew who she was. The woman said it was very important to get the information out – but she wanted the publication of the story coordinated in such a way that my story was released at the same time as another reporter published his story about it. I agreed to do it because it was a way to bring the Yantis case back into the public’s mind because it was an important story and TVOI hadn’t written anything about the Yantis case because at the time it occurred, I was busy researching the Hammond case (Oregon).
She wanted to deliver it me because she thought I lived in Boise. When I told her I was in Twin, she then wanted to fax it to me. It took her hours to find a fax machine but she eventually did. On May 4th, she faxed a copy of the Ada County Sheriff’s Office bulletin to the number I had given her. The number was to a copy store here in Twin Falls.
I wrote the story and published it the morning of May 5th.
On May 6th, Michael was arrested first thing in the morning but Cheri Roberts of the Challenging the Rhetoric blog (https://challengingtherhetoric.wordpress.com/2016/05/06/bundy-supporter-and-the-voice-of-idahos-michael-emry-arrested-by-fbi/) had already made the connection between the leaked document in the Yantis case and Michael Emry’s arrest. The following is what Cheri wrote:
“It is unknown to what extent, if any, of Emry’s audio/video equipment was confiscated. It is also unknown, at this time, whether the arrest is in relation to the January’s armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, or Emry’s ties to the events in Ada or Adams county relating to the #Justice4Jack campaign, or something else altogether. Ot regarding Brian Wood leaked info/doxin (http://www.ktvb.com/news/local/leaked-doc-has-sensitive-info-about-adams-county-deputy-brian-wood/178167846)g.
You screwed the pooch Cheri. In fact, it was a gang bang of that poor pooch. The time on the KTVB post is 6:33 pm and there was nothing to connect Michael with the leaked document. The article that I wrote about the “leaked document” did not include publication of the document – but y’all didn’t read the article. You just assumed that it would be published on TVOI News website.
Interestingly, Cheri quoted an article written for the Rockland Times by Raquel Okyay.
Emry is in part responsible for creating the Harney County Committee of Safety (http://www.rocklandtimes.com/2016/01/06/the-oregon-ranchers-battle-through-their-own-eyes/), telling The Rockland Times (http://www.rocklandtimes.com/2016/01/06/the-oregon-ranchers-battle-through-their-own-eyes/), that he …
…became involved with the Hammond family to guide and assist them and the citizens of Harney County in putting together a County Committee of Safety (http://www.hccommitteeofsafety.org/) to include III% militia groups (111% refers to the 3 percent of colonists who fought in the American Revolution), who in turn would provide enforcement capabilities to a people’s grand jury. “I also came as an imbedded reporter for the III% militia.
That is a major misquote of what Michael said. How do I know? Because Michael was not involved with the Hammond family at all – period, zero, zilch. No contact whatsoever. He also had nothing to do with the establishment of the Harney County Committee of Safety either. The only reason Michael was in Burns at all was because Ammon Bundy asked Michael to cover the rally. Michael said no initially because he didn’t trust his car to make the trip. Michael agreed to cover the rally only after Ammon offered to let him use one of his vehicles for the trip. Ammon is or was a fleet dealer so the loan of an SUV for the trip to Burns was not a big deal to him.
Michael went to Burns, Oregon as the embedded reporter for the Idaho III% to cover the rally exactly as he had covered other rallies sponsored by the III% (videos below). The Idaho III% was in Burns for the rally. The intent was to show support for Hammond family, Ammon Bundy and the patriots of Oregon who were tired of BLM harassment of the ranchers.
What the Idaho Statesman story and stories in the timeline prove is that there was an intent to set Michael up. He was not polished like a lot of the other Alternate Media people, but reporting the truth doesn’t require a degree from journalism school. It simply requires somebody with the heart and the guts to stand up, show up and to provide an opportunity for people to tell the other side of the story – the side that the mainstream media never tells.
Timeline Recap
May 4th, I received the fax of the bulletin (i.e. the “leaked documents”)
May 5th, I published the article http://tvoinews.net/f-idaho/jack-yantis-case-revisited/
May 6th, Michael is arrested in the morning
May 6th KTVB report – http://www.ktvb.com/news/local/leaked-doc-has-sensitive-info-about-adams-county-deputy-brian-wood/178167846
May 6th Cheri Roberts story on her website, Challenging the Rhetoric. Cheri Roberts links to the KTVB story about the “leaked documents” and speculates that the second man was Michael Emry. (Note: I had to put the link in brackets to keep wordpress from making it an embedded link).

The bottom line is that they tried to set Michael up with “leaked documents” which I now understand carries with it a 10 year prison sentence if they are published but they were so sloppy, they didn’t get the documents to Michael, they got them to me. I wrote an article but they didn’t even bother to read it so they didn’t know that I didn’t publish the “leaked documents”. And the cherry on top is that they wrote about the connection between Michael and the “leaked documents” on May 6th when there was no connection to be made – except if they assumed there was a connection based on inside knowledge of a setup.
The best laid schemes of Mice and Men
oft go awry,
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!Robert Burns (English translation)

Posted by Becky Hudson, Michael Emry's wife in the "The Voice Of Grant County Oregon" facebook
https://www.facebook.com/TheVoiceOfGrantCountyOregon/posts/1031324910298428
The Voice of Grant County, Oregon (https://www.facebook.com/TheVoiceOfGrantCountyOregon/?fref=nf)
9 hrs (https://www.facebook.com/TheVoiceOfGrantCountyOregon/posts/1031324910298428) ·
To whom it may concern:
I am writing to present "newly discovered evidence" in support of Michael Emry's defense, and a testimonial about his character.
Michael Emry produced an interview where I was filmed and we discussed with Vicky Davis (journalist) elements relating to unlawful and criminal financing of terrorism through the Obama Administration and specifically the Clinton Foundation and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well as the Department of Justice Attorney General Eric Holder, Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breur, and Loretta Lynch (now currently the Attorney General).
Michael Emry has been targeted by the Justice Department for prosecution based on his work as a journalist and the material disclosed in this show, and others. This is a miscarriage of justice, proprietorial misconduct, and unconstitutional.
Additionally Mr. Emry disclosed illegal acts by government agents and law enforcement in the Oregon Malheur Refuge incident and the exposure of the assasination of Robert Lavoy Finicum by State police and FBI agents.
See show link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIiy5w6yf4g (https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv% 3DfIiy5w6yf4g&h=3AQG3iuw6AQG--7dSDhvZqi11jVqRTIA-cT7sXILGLcM07Q&enc=AZPKcQm0Izr95J6w1uaapCOaywnUiZEyvUsq7nJWzUECc3 3t2j1UT8xncr259q7FsQrcImcGtjTkKpFgn83oIIYs_K6Tb6bj 4CYcrIOA_FIzF-wkMQM8gt7hV8IEOXl9G9DJjcd9VWUIV3F0w2vON_Z2HDiAUBgR REkVGzcCP0ErzUz_dTcXz_FV21P-KF8zUqjeOICjeFeXsQrG7W3bP783&s=1)
Specifically, at 44:00 minutes into the show, the state law pertaining to federal activities is discussed, and this is part of the motivation for silencing Mr. Emry in his continuing this discussion.
I encourage a full and immediate dismissal of all charges against Mr. Emry based on this unconstitutional violation of Mr. Emry's rights as a journalist, and the rights of all Americans to hear him. I also encourage a full investigation Sua Sponte by the court into this matter and the federal prosecutors and informants and other parties in this matter.
Mr. Emry was targeted after this letter was sent regarding his exposure of criminal acts, and this letter needs to be included as "Newly Discovered Evidence" as part of his defense. Additionally the video of the interview done on August 7, 2015 needs to be also included as exculpatory evidence in defense of Michael Emry.
Mr. Emry is a man of good character, and is not in any way a criminal, or engaged in any unlawful or unpatriotic activities. He should be immediately released and all charges dismissed against him.
Please contact me to appear as a defense witness.

At Defendant’s pretrial custody hearing held on May 24, 2016 before the Honorable Magistrate Judge Jolie Russo in the Matter of United States of America versus Michael Ray Emry, Special Assistant District Attorney Nathan Lichvarcik violated Defendant’s Fifth Amendment right not to be compelled to incriminate himself when Mr. Lichvarcik quoted from, Defendant’s sworn testimony in a 2002 court case in which Defendant testified with immunity as a witness for the government.
At its essence, an immunity agreement between a witness and a United States Attorney is a contract with terms, conditions and consideration.
United States Attorneys serve as the chief law enforcement officers in each judicial district and Special Assistant United States Attorneys assigned to prosecute a criminal case are exercising delegated power and authority vested in a United States Attorney.
A United States Attorney takes an oath of office to faithfully execute his assigned duties which include representing the interests of the United States in both civil and criminal cases within the context of statutory law and the confines of the U.S. Constitution which is the supreme law of the land.
[Sidebar: When discussing the Matter of the 2002 case below, Defendant will be referred to by his given name, Michael Ray Emry to avoid confusion. Defendant in the above named Matter was not a defendant in the 2002 case. He was a witness for the prosecution. Also, the 2002 Matter is referred to variously as the 2002 case and the 2004 case. The case was brought before the Court in 2002 but Defendant’s testimony in the Matter was in 2004 accounting for the variation.]
IMMUNITY AGREEMENT
In 2002 in the Matter of United States of America v. Randall R. Parker, Kenneth B. Kimball, Amilcar Butler, Steve Corlew, Debra Moses nee Debra Parker (Case 3:02-cr-00053) in Tennessee, Michael Ray Emry appeared as a witness for the prosecution. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Sunny A.M. Koshy of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. Emry had an immunity agreement with U.S Attorney Koshy. Emry waived his Fifth Amendment Right in that Matter, but it was not a waiver for all times and all purposes. It was for his testimony in that case.
Assistant United States Attorney Sunny A.M. Koshy and Special Assistant District Attorney Nathan Lichvarcik are working for the same client which is the United States of America. Even though the immunity agreement was made in the Middle District of Tennessee, Article IV of the U.S. Constitution guarantees the full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the judicial proceedings of another state. A binding agreement of immunity made in one judicial district is binding in all judicial districts.
The only exception that would have nullified the agreement for immunity would have been for perjury or if evidence of a crime was obtained independently not derived from the testimony in that case but pertaining to that case. If that would have happened, it would have nullified the grant of immunity – but that didn’t happen. Assistant U.S. Attorney Koshy kept his side of the bargain and Michael Ray Emry kept his side of the bargain.
The agreement for the grant of immunity for Michael Ray Emry’s testimony in the 2002 Matter survives for all Courts of the United States, for all proceedings, for all time and is binding upon all who represent the United States in judicial proceedings. Michael Ray Emry’s immunized testimony in the 2002 Matter may not be used against him in a United States Court of Law.
May 24, 2016 Pre-trial Release Hearing
In the Reporter’s Transcript of Proceedings held in Eugene, Oregon on Tuesday, May 24, 2016, US Attorney Nathan Lichvarcik admitted that he reviewed testimony given by Defendant in the 2002 Matter in which the Defendant testified as a witness for the prosecution, he provided copies of the testimony to Defense Counsel and Pretrial and he relayed to the Court information obtained from that testimony in his argument to the Court as to why the Defendant should not be granted pre-trial release. The following are excerpts from US Attorney Lichvarcik’s testimony as recorded by the Reporter (Exhibit 1):
Document 9 filed 5/26/2016 – Page 11 beginning at line 16 through 20
“He was caught having made, I think, and he admitted in his testimony back in 2004, that he made approximately maybe more than 66 machine guns for an individual in that individual’s bunker of firearms.
Continuing Page 12 at lines 1 through line 13
“But what I have done is I have reviewed his testimony, and I have provided it both to the defense and to pretrial, and, by his own testimony, he made a bomb out of C-4 and a detonator. And he testified, I believe, that the bomb was capable of blowing up an area I think three times the size of the federal courtroom that he was testifying in. And he acknowledged that the bomb could do a lot of harm and was highly illegal.”
There are other references to the Defendant’s immunized testimony in that 2002 Matter but the point is made that the Defendant’s testimony was used against him in a court of law in violation of the immunity agreement with Assistant United States Attorney Sunny A.M. Koshy of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. Use of that testimony in any judicial proceeding is in violation of Article IV of the U.S. Constitution full faith, credit and immunities and it was a violation of Defendant’s Fifth Amendment right to not be compelled to incriminate himself.
In the Government’s Opposition to Motion for Release filed on July 13, 2016, US Attorney Nathan J. Lichvarik, set forth his arguments for opposing Defendant’s request for pre—trial release (Exhibit 2). In that motion, he included Defendant’s 2004 testimony in the 2002 Matter as the Government’s Exhibit 1 in the Matter that is the subject of this Writ (included as Exhibit 3).
DISCUSSION
In the Government’s Opposition to Motion for Release filed on July 13, 2016 by US Attorney Nathan Lichvarcik he cited what he believed to be the applicable law that allowed him to enter into evidence as Government Exhibit 1, the transcript of Defendant’s testimony from the 2002 Court proceeding:
Rules of Evidence Do Not Apply at a Detention Hearing
The Federal Rules of Evidence do not apply in pretrial detention proceedings. Fed. R. Evid. 1101(d)(3); 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f). Accordingly, both the government and the defense may present evidence by proffer or hearsay. United States v. Winsor, 785 F.2d 755, 756 (9th Cir. 1986); see also United States v. Bibbs, 488 F.Supp.2d 925, 925 26 (N.D. Cal. 2007)
That argument must fail because the Defendant’s testimony in the 2002 Matter is not hearsay. His testimony was sworn testimony given in a court of law (i.e. “from the horse’s mouth”). In effect what US Attorney Lichvarcik did was to compel Defendant to incriminate himself without the opportunity to assert his Fifth Amendment Rights under the U.S. Constitution using testimony for which the Defendant was given immunity. The phase of the proceeding that the testimony was introduced is irrelevant. Defendant’s sworn testimony was used against him in a United States Court of Law in violation of Defendant’s Fifth Amendment Right to not be compelled to testify against himself and in violation of Article IV, full faith and credit and immunities.
An argument may be made that segments of the 2004 testimony became hearsay when they were published in the Oregonian newspaper in a story written by “Investigative Reporter” Les Zaitz but that argument fails as well. Les Zaitz was not a party to the grant of immunity given by US Attorney Sunny A.M. Koshy in Tennessee but US Attorney Lichvarcik was a party to the grant of immunity by extension and by Article IV of the Constitution full faith and credit and immunities.
Additional Considerations
For the record, Registered Agent filing this WRIT on behalf of Defendant spoke with U.S. Attorney Sunny A.M. Koshy on September 29, 2016 to try to get a copy of the immunity agreement or a letter stating that there was an immunity agreement but he would provide no information. A letter stating there was an immunity agreement was sought as a convenience for the Court but it is not necessary to see it to know that there was one. De facto, there was an immunity agreement because Defendant was not charged with any crimes in connection with his 2004 testimony in the Tennessee Matter.
In the 2004 testimony, Michael Ray Emry testified that he went to work for Kittrell’s Transmission shop as a transmission technician in the year 2000. He walked into what was apparently a major drug and money laundering operation presumably already under investigation by one or more law enforcement agencies. As a result of his involvement in the case, the Defendant’s Mother-in-Law was brutally murdered and his wife and children had to run for their lives.
Following the Defendant’s 2004 testimony before the Tennessee Court, the Defendant continued to work for licensed Class II Weapons Manufacturers in Idaho. The building and selling of guns is a legal business in the United States. The ATF is responsible for oversight. The ATF had an involvement in the 2002 case in Tennessee and they were aware of Defendant’s testimony in 2004. The point being that there is a larger context behind the 2004 testimony that cannot be discerned from the transcript of the Defendant’s testimony in isolation. The Defendant has no criminal history. The Defendant was in Oregon to establish a media operation – video journalism, website and plans for a print edition similar to the media operation he owns in Idaho called The Voice of Idaho News (TVOINEWS.COM).
ARGUMENTS FOR CAUSE – NUMBERS 3 AND 4Challenge to the Search Warrant
On May 5, 2016 at 2:00 pm in the afternoon, the Search Warrant (Exhibit 4) for the Defendant’s property was signed by U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas M. Coffin. At the time of the signing of the warrant, Judge Coffin was a retired U.S. Magistrate Judge not a sitting U.S. Magistrate Judge with authority under 28 U.S.C. § 631(b) (5)
May 5, 2016 was a Thursday and was not a federal holiday. There are no indications on the search warrant that it was anything other than routine. If an authorized magistrate judge of the U.S. District Court of Oregon was not available in the afternoon of May 5, 2016, then the law enforcement officer seeking the warrant should have been advised to seek the signature of a judge of a state court of record.
Authority of a Magistrate Judge
The authority for a magistrate judge to sign a search warrant is found in The Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Title VIII, Rule 41 defines the rules for the issuance of search warrants. Rule 41(b,1) states “a magistrate judge with authority in the district—or if none is reasonably available, a judge of a state court of record in the district—has authority to issue a warrant to search and seize a person or property located within the district”.
According to U.S. District Court Announcements (Exhibit 5), U.S. Magistrate Judge Jolie A. Russo’s appointment “follows the retirement of the Honorable Thomas M. Coffin”. Implicit in that statement is that Judge Russo’s appointment was to replace Judge Thomas M. Coffin on the bench.
Magistrate Judge Coffin’s appointment ended with the appointment of Judge Russo according to:
28 U.S.C. § 631(f) Upon expiration of his term, a magistrate judge may, by a majority vote of the judges of the appointing district court or courts and with the approval of the judicial council of the circuit, continue to perform the duties of his office until his successor is appointed, or for 180 days after the date of the expiration of the magistrate judge’s term, whichever is earlier.
The earlier date in this case was February 25, 2016. The announcement of the appointment of Magistrate Judge Jolie A. Russo was effective on February 25, 2016. Retired Magistrate Judge Thomas M. Coffin’s appointment ended with the appointment of Magistrate Judge Jolie A. Russo. Even if Judge Coffin had the approval of the judges of the district and the approval of the judicial council of the circuit prior to February 25, 2016, that approval ended on February 25, 2016. 28 U.S.C. § 631(f) should be the prevailing rule.
If Retired Magistrate Judge Thomas M. Coffin was recalled after February 25, 2016, it would have to be a new appointment. The procedure for re-appointment following the term of active appointment which ended on February 25, 2016 is defined in 28 U.S. C. § 631(d) states:
28 U.S.C. § 631(d)
(d) Except as otherwise provided in sections 375 and 636(h) of this title, no individual may serve under this chapter after having attained the age of seventy years:
Provided, however,
That upon a majority vote of all the judges of the appointing court or courts, which is taken upon the magistrate judge’s attaining age seventy and upon each subsequent anniversary thereof, a magistrate judge who has attained the age of seventy years may continue to serve and may be reappointed under this chapter.
28 U.S.C. § 375 provides for a retired judge to serve for a term of 5 years upon certification that substantial service is expected to be performed. Certification is submitted to the judicial council of the circuit.
28 U.S.C. § 636(h) A United States magistrate judge who has retired may, upon the consent of the chief judge of the district involved, be recalled to serve as a magistrate judge in any judicial district by the judicial council of the circuit within which such district is located.
The exceptions in 636(h) pertaining to requirements in subsections (a), (b)(3) and paragraph 1 of subsection (b) of section 631 are not issues. The reference in 636(h) pertaining to 631(d) exempting the requirements of 636(d) is not applicable because the next sentence states that “any other requirement set forth in Section 631(b) shall apply to the recall of a retired magistrate judge under this subsection of section 375 of this title unless such retired magistrate judge met such requirement upon appointment or reappointment as a magistrate judge under section 631”. The result is that 631(f) prevails unless a new appointment was sought and authorized by the judicial council of the circuit under section 375.
Discussion
At the time it was discovered that Magistrate Judge Thomas Coffin was a retired judge, the Defendant’s attorney Marc Sabitt (at the time) was informed of that fact. He told the Defendant’s friends that Judge Coffin had “privileges of the court”. Privileges do not confer authority. Unlike Article III Judges who are appointed for life and who may request senior status upon retirement by writing a letter to the President and stating his intentions (Exhibit 6 – Cornell Law Review Vol. 92, Issue 3 March 2007, Honorable Frederic Block), magistrate judges are appointed under a system that is essentially Civil Service with limited terms and a mandatory retirement age of seventy years with statutory requirements for reappointment. 28 U.S.C. 631-639
On Page 4 of the May 24 transcript (Exhibit 1) of the pre-trial hearing, Judge Russo notes for the record that she consulted with Judge Coffin. Even if Judge Coffin was hired on contract – formal or informal to serve as an advisor for Judge Russo, a contract still does not confer authority to act as a magistrate judge.
Attached as Exhibit 9 is a printed list of the Standing Orders signed by the Chief U.S. Judge of the United States District Court, District of Oregon as of September 12, 2016. There are no Standing Orders concerning Magistrate Judge Thomas Coffin. Notice should be taken of the 2016 timeframe specifically:
2016-3 In the Matter of Reappointment of John Acosta as a Full-Time U.S. Magistrate Judge.
2016-5 Appointment of a Full-Time U.S. Magistrate Judge in Eugene
The 2016-5 Appointment was for Magistrate Judge Jolie Russo (Exhibit 7). Judge Russo was appointed to the position of Magistrate Judge on February 10, 2016 becoming effective on February 25, 2016. The Order was filed on February 16, 2016. It was posted as a public announcement and standing order for May 2016-5 presumably as a misfiling.
The 2016-3 Reappointment for Magistrate Judge John Acosta is being included to show how a Reappointment is done according to statute for continuing service without a break (Exhibit 8). The Standing Order 2016-3 indicates that Judge Acosta’s term would expire on March 4, 2016. The order for reappointment was signed on January 28th, 2016 and was effective March 5, 2016. It was filed on January 28, 2016. The order was posted as a standing order for March 2016 (2016-3).
There is no Standing Order for the Reappointment for Magistrate Judge Thomas Coffin posted on the Oregon District Court website although Judge Coffin is now listed as a sitting Magistrate Judge.
An attempt was made to get a certified copy of the Standing Order signed by Chief Judge Michael W. Mosman that certifies that Magistrate Judge Thomas Coffin was reappointed pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Magistrates Act of 1979 (P.L. 96-82) in accordance with regulations promulgated by the Judicial Conference of the United States and that the effective date was before May 5, 2016. The Clerk of the Court refused to provide the requested Standing Order as proof of the status of Magistrate Judge Thomas Coffin.
At the same time that a request was made for a certified copy of the Standing Order for the reappointment for Magistrate Judge Thomas Coffin, a request was made for certified copies of the Standing Orders for the appointment and reappointment respectively of Magistrate Judges Jolie Russo and John Acosta. The Clerk of the Court also refused those requests. She would provide no certified copies of Standing Orders requested for the judges mentioned for this WRIT.
Owing to the fact that no proof has been provided that Magistrate Judge Thomas Coffin was a lawfully appointed and authorized magistrate judge of Oregon District Court according to statute when he signed the search warrant and affixed the Seal of the United States District Court on May 5, 2016, the search warrant must be considered defective and all evidence obtained or derived from the execution of it becomes fruit of the poisoned tree – inadmissible in court. The Defendant’s Fourth Amendment Right to avoid unlawful searches and the Defendant’s Fourteen Amendment Right to due process and equal treatment under the law was violated when the defective search warrant was executed.
MOTION TO DISMISS WITH PREJUDICE
Comes now Michael Ray Emry, Sui Juris, who moves to dismiss with prejudice the Plaintiff’s complaints against Defendant, Michael Ray Emry for the causes described in the Defendant’s Writ of Habeas Corpus summarized as follows:
The Defendant’s Right to the full faith and credit and immunities guaranteed under Article IV of the Constitution of the United States of America was violated.
The Defendant’s Fifth Amendment Right prohibiting the prosecution from compelling the Defendant to be a witness against himself was violated.
The Defendant’s Fourth Amendment Right to be secure in his houses, papers and effects was violated.
The Defendant was denied his Fourteenth Amendment Right to due process and equal treatment under the law.
If the court finds for the Defendant on any one of the four arguments presented in the Writ of Habeas Corpus, it alone is adequate to grant the motion for dismissal with prejudice.

Michael Emry Status Update Nov. 10, 2016

Michael Emry – Status Update 11/10/2016
Posted By: Vicky Davis (http://tvoinews.net/author/vicky-davis/) on: November 10, 2016 In: F-National (http://tvoinews.net/category/f-national/), Featured (http://tvoinews.net/category/featured/), Michael (http://tvoinews.net/category/michael/) Tags: Michael Emry (http://tvoinews.net/tag/michael-emry/), Writ of Habeas Corpus (http://tvoinews.net/tag/writ-of-habeas-corpus/)1 Comment (http://tvoinews.net/michael/michael-emry-status-update-11102016/#comments)
Michael Emry was arrested in John Day, Oregon on May 6, 2016 following a search of his Fifth Wheel that was parked at a local RV Park. The search warrant was executed early in the morning. Michael received a phone call from the office of the RV Park that they needed to talk to him. He drove his car over to the office and was greeted by an FBI swat team of about six officers according to Michael’s Significant Other, Becky Hudson. Michael has been in custody ever since – 188 days as of today.
Michael has had three public defenders:
Bryan E. Lessley, appointed on 5/9/2016, terminated on 5/9/2016 for conflict of interest
Mark Sabitt, Appointed 5/16/2016, terminated by Michael for failure to engage in a defense of Michael. Sabitt went on vacation for the first hearing and used his partner who was unfamiliar with the case to stand in for him. The prosecutor introduced into evidence Michael’s 2004 testimony as a government witness in a Tennessee case, it was done without objection from the defense side of the table. At a status conference on 7/20/2016, Sabbit withdrew from the case as requested by Michael.
Lynn Shepard, a family law (http://www.shepardlawoffices.com/) attorney was appointed by Magistrate Judge Jolie Russo at the July 25, 2016 Status Conference. Oregon is a Mandatory Arbitration (http://www.osbar.org/public/legalinfo/1216_mandatoryarbitration.htm) state for family law issues – divorces, child custody, etc. In Michael’s case, Ms. Shepard thinks her duty is to negotiate an amicable solution to this little family dispute between Michael and the U.S. Government.
Code Section
26 U.S.C Sections 5841, 5861(d) and 5871
18 U.S.C. Section 922(k)
Offense Description
Unlawful Possession of a Machine Gun not registered to him in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.
Unlawful Possession of a Firearm with an Obliterated Serial Number.
Ms. Shepard has been meeting with the prosecutor to discuss issues such as what the defense will be allowed to present at trial. Since when does the prosecution direct the defenses case? That’s a stacked deck. If it’s true, then the public defender is not much more than a warm body with a bar license sitting in the chair where the defense attorney should be.
Since this is my first exposure to the “justice system” (Thank God and knock wood), I’ve had to start from scratch learning about the process, the players and their roles and authorities, the Rules and Laws. One thing I learned is that there are two kinds of judges in the federal system. There are Federal District Judges known as Article III judges. They are appointed for life by the President, confirmed by the Senate. Then there are Magistrate Judges that are employed by the District Judges to perform administrative tasks. They are essentially civil service employees with authorities defined in the Federal Magistrates Act of 1979 (P.L. 96-82).
Magistrate Judges can hear civil cases with agreement from both parties but they are not authorized to hear felony cases. A couple of the administrative tasks they perform are to evaluate probable cause for search warrants, to sign search warrants and to preside at pretrial hearings for felony cases. In Michael’s case, the prosecution entered into evidence at the pretrial detention hearing, Michael’s testimony as a witness for the prosecution in a 2004 case in Tennessee. It’s completely irrelevant to the current Matter, but the Magistrate Judge allowed it and Michael’s warm body in the defense attorney’s chair didn’t object.
I realized as I was writing this, that what they do here is very slick. The Magistrate Judge can only decide whether or not to allow the defendant pretrial release. She can make no other rulings because she is not authorized to hear a felony case. This allows the prosecution to present “evidence” that the judge can’t rule on. The prosecution can lie through his teeth (and he did), bring up irrelevant material and, on the basis of his representations to the court, can leave the defendant sitting in jail on issues that would not be allowed at trial.
The prosecution uses this unconstrained power in a kangaroo court proceeding to keep defendants in jail so that they can’t participate in their own defense. It gives the prosecutor an advantage in the game of Let’s Make a Deal to get the defendant to plead guilty to something even when they are not guilty. Considering all of this makes me wonder about the legality of a Magistrate Judge signing a search warrant for what will be a felony case if the officers find what they are looking for as described in the Affidavit when the officer applies for the warrant.
I attended the May 24, 2016 pretrial release hearing fully expecting Michael to be released. He has no criminal history – violent or otherwise and there were Affidavits from solid law-abiding citizens concerning Michael’s character and his benign activities of establishing a media operation in Grant County. None of that mattered when the Prosecution introduced Michael’s 2004 testimony from the case in Tennessee. The case the prosecutor put forward without objection from the defense side was so over the top, that I began serious heads-down research on the system of criminal prosecution.
By October 6, 2016, I had a Writ of Habeas Corpus (http://tvoinews.net/michael/michaels-writ-of-habeas-corpus/) ready to mail to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Habeas Corpus (https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/habeas_corpus)
Latin for “that you have the body.” In the US system, federal courts can use the writ of habeas corpus to determine if a state’s detention of a prisoner is valid. A writ of habeas corpus is used to bring a prisoner or other detainee (e.g. institutionalized mental patient) before the court to determine if the person’s imprisonment or detention is lawful. A habeas petition proceeds as a civil action against the State agent (usually a warden) who holds the defendant in custody. It can also be used to examine any extradition processes used, amount of bail, and the jurisdiction of the court.
Description
Habeas corpus originated in English common law as a means to protect individuals from illegal detention. An individual who had been held in custody could file a petition seeking a writ which would require the custodian to provide adequate legal justification for the detention. If the custodian failed to do so, the court could order the petitioner’s release.
On October 14, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals accepted the Writ of Habeas Corpus and gave it a title and a Docket Number. Michael Emry v. USDC-ORE, No. 16-73303 (tel:16-73303). All they needed was a financial statement and a Motion for permission to file in forma pauperis (as a poor person unable to pay the fees). The logistics of Michael’s incarceration are such that the Motion for permission was finally mailed to the Court day before yesterday.
So now Michael has two cases going – the United States of America v. Michael Ray Emry and Michael Emry v. United States of America Oregon District Court.
The Writ was filed while Michael’s Public Defender was on a three week vacation. When she returned, the notice from the Ninth Circuit Court was in her mail. When she visited with Michael, she was not happy. She told him that she would have nothing to do with the case in the Ninth Circuit Court. Uh Oh… Michael and Me… we rocked the boat – leaky and dilapidated as it was.
I fretted and stewed about what to do next. We (Michael, me and the Prosecutor listening via recorded conversations from jail) talked and talked about it. We decided that the only recourse was for Michael to become his own attorney. Fortunately, I met and made a new friend at the trial of the Malheur Seven. She was able to hook me up with the solution. A Faretta Motion.
Faretta is the name of a defendant in California who decided that he needed to defend himself too. He apparently sued and won the right to defend himself. The decision of the court was that people have a right under the sixth amendment of the Constitution to waive their right to Counsel and to become their own attorney after a Canvass (inquiry as to the sanity of somebody who wants to defend himself – just kidding… it’s an inquiry to determine if the defendant really knows what he’s doing).
The Faretta Motion was delivered to both the Judge and Michael’s attorney at the last status hearing that was held on November 7, 2016. Michael wasn’t present at the Status Conference because his attorney didn’t want him to have to suffer the discomfort of waiting for four hours for the hearing. It was not possible for Judge Russo to act on the Faretta Motion so another Status Conference is scheduled for November 14, 2016 at 1:30 PM in Eugene Court Room 4 in front of Judge Coffin who will presumably do the Canvass.
So that’s how it stands for now but stay tuned because there is more to come.

The goal of a public defender is to protect the rights of the defendant. Not to win. Not to prevent detention. They win the case in their view when the defendant is found guilty and has no basis for any appeal 'cause when rights are violated appeals occur.
In the present court system the only trial by a panel of judges is going to be at the appellate level. A singular judge in any rational system of law has no authority to do anything but assign bail or decide to detail until trial (before at least 3 judges). In the U.S. this panel of judges only sits in certain appeals cases.

Vicky Davis: Michael DID NOT bring the .50 caliber gun to Oregon in Ammon Bundy's van. Michael brought the .50 cal to Oregon to show his workmanship in gun building to a man who turned out to be a career criminal who is paid by our government to be a confidential informant. This scumbag career criminal FBI informant whose name is Marc "Doc" O'dell lured Michael by telling him that he and his partner, Harry Stangel wanted to go into business building guns. Michael - being both an expert at building guns was also advising O'Dell and Stangel through O'Dell on how to get a Class II license which is required to build guns like the .50 cal which is a LEGAL gun as long as it's not automatic.
Why did Michael plead guilty? Because the criminal justice system is even more criminal than the criminals they prosecute. They were threatening Michael with charging him with a long list of bogus charges that could have put Michael in prison for decades. The deal was... if you fight us.... we'll bury you and we might even go after your wife and your partner in TVOI News. So Michael did the only thing he thought he could do. He pled guilty.
The OregonianLive and "reporters" like Maxine Bernstein make up the story as they go. Whatever these liberal [expletive deleted] can do to demonize patriots who are trying to preserve what was good and decent about America, they do.
How you can lie like you do and look at yourselves in the mirror is beyond me. You're despicable. https://www.facebook.com/maxoregonian/posts/1001586813280422

TVOI News (https://www.facebook.com/TheVoiceOfIdaho/?rc=p) Sure... right. Hire a lawyer. Following the same logic for the homeless, if you're cold just buy a mink coat. If there is no wheat for bread, "let them eat cake".
You are brain dead or this is your idea of a joke. Either way, it's not appreciated.

Wrongful death lawsuit filed against deputies who killed Jack Yantis. Not much information
Idaho deputies who shot, killed rancher face lawsuit (http://idahonews.com/news/local/idaho-deputies-who-shot-killed-rancher-face-lawsuit)
BOISE, Idaho (AP) —
http://static-33.sinclairstoryline.com/resources/media/9205e4e6-0389-4e35-860a-934e51d93563-large16x9_160502_Jack_Yantis.jpg
The family of an Idaho rancher who was fatally shot by two deputies has filed a wrongful death lawsuit.
Jack Yantis was killed two years ago after one of his bulls was hit by a car and deputies shot the animal. Yantis arrived with a rifle just as deputies decided to put down the animal. Authorities have said there was an altercation, and Yantis and two deputies all fired their weapons.
Yantis' family filed the complaint Friday against Adams County, Sheriff Ryan Zollman and former sheriff's deputies Brian Wood and Cody Roland. The 37-page complaint alleges the sheriff's office violated federal civil rights during and after the shooting of Yantis.
Adams County Under Sheriff Jeff Brown declined to comment on the lawsuit.

It's been awhile since I've done any reading on that shooting but my conclusion from what I've read in the past was it was murder by those deputies.
They body shot that bull with a .223 with 55 grain bullets and that won't kill one right away.
Jack Yantis came along with his .204 after they called him and was getting ready to put a bullet in that bulls brain that would instantly kill him when the deputies jerked him over backwards and murdered him. They should be charged and convicted of first degree murder and then given the death sentence for what they did. SOB's

The sheriff’s office called Jack Yantis during dinner. A car had struck one of Yantis’ bulls, and the animal needed to be put down. Minutes later, Jack Yantis would be dead beside his animal.
The events of that November 2015 night remain the subject of fierce debate in Adams County, Idaho, where Yantis and his family owned a cattle ranch. When Yantis and his family went outside to shoot the bull, they encountered two sheriff’s deputies at the scene. The deputies fired at least 14 shots at Yantis, killing him on the spot. Both deputies claimed the shooting was in self-defense.
But in a lawsuit against the sheriff’s office filed on Friday, Yantis’ family describes the incident as murder by an officer who had previously spoken of a looming societal collapse, during which he would allegedly need to kill looters.
Jack Yantis, 62, would never have crossed paths with the officers had it not been for the call from the emergency dispatcher. One of Yantis’ bulls had wandered onto the dark road and collided with a car, the dispatcher said. The dispatcher asked the Yantis family if they would euthanize the animal.
The evening was already dark when Jack Yantis, his wife, his nephew, and a veterinarian friend walked into the fields to find the injured bull. But before they could reach it, six shots echoed from the road. Deputy Brian Wood had used his personal AR-15 gun to fire six non-lethal shots into the animal.
Wood, who did not return The Daily Beast’s request for comment, claimed on Facebook that the bull charged at him, and that the shots were justified. But the Yantis family claims those six shots are evidence of Wood’s carelessness. In their suit, the family calls the shots “wanton,” adding that Wood’s “shooting toward the Yantis Ranch driveway posed an unnecessary danger” to the family “who predictably would be coming down the driveway, in the dark, to deal with the bull.”
Yantis arrived at the bull, carrying a bolt-action rifle. He appeared less than pleased to see Wood and his semi-automatic gun.
“Put that piece of shit away,” Wood claims Yantis said of the AR-15. Yantis loaded his own rifle and lined up to fire at the bull. No one agrees what happened next.
Wood claims Yantis was pointing his rifle in a dangerous direction, and that when Wood approached him, Yantis pointed the rifle at Wood’s partner.

“Recognizing Yantis' obvious threat, or attempt, to murder Deputy Rowland, I raised my rifle toward Yantis' chest,” Wood wrote. “While I was raising my rifle, I heard a gunshot. I believe the gunshot was from Yantis' rifle. The next shot I heard was from my own rifle. I fired my rifle at Yantis' chest multiple times.”
Yantis’ family says that’s not what happened at all.
“Without any warning, provocation, or justifiable excuse, one Deputy suddenly stepped up behind Jack, grabbed him, and jerked him around and backwards,” the family alleges in its suit. “Jack’s rifle never pointed at either Deputy. The deputies did not ask Jack to put the rifle down … The Deputies drew their weapons and shot at Jack before ever perceiving a threat, muchless a deadly threat.”
In the commotion, Yantis’ light-trigger gun fired into the air, striking no one, the family alleges. “The Deputies shot with intent to kill Jack, rather than to warn him or injure him. Deputy Wood shot as fast as he could.”
When Yantis’ family ran to his aid, the officers allegedly ordered them to the ground at gunpoint. Yantis’ nephew Rowdy found himself lying facedown, at the end of Wood’s AR-15.
“Deputy Wood stepped or knelt on Rowdy’s back and violently wrenched his arms upward. Rowdy told Deputy Wood that he had a shoulder injury, and asked Deputy Wood not to pull his arms so hard,” the family’s suit alleges. “Deputy Wood ignored Rowdy’s pleas, handcuffed him, and pulled violently on his arms. Deputy Wood then placed the barrel of his AR-15 to the back of Rowdy’s head. Rowdy thought that Deputy Wood was about to kill him.”
Yantis’ wife, who was handcuffed at gunpoint after watching her husband die, had a heart attack on the spot and was airlifted to a hospital, the family says.
In their suit, the Yantis family accuses Wood of having “an unhealthy obsession” with guns and explosives, which he allegedly sold. The personal AR-15 gun he used on the bull and Yantis “had numerous custom upgrades including a Noveske barrel, flash suppressor, and holographic sight with a magnifier.”
The family also accused Wood of being a so-called “doomsday prepper” who had previously talked of the necessity of shooting people in a future doomsday scenario.
“Deputy Wood has also long been obsessed with the idea of killing, including how to train himself to kill automatically and without remorse,” the family claimed. “By late 2012, Wood was a self-described ‘survivalist’ or ‘prepper’ who believed that the collapse of society was imminent, and that it would soon be necessary to kill looters.”
The lawsuit also cites a number of offenses that the family says should have disqualified Wood as an officer. In July 2011, while working for a different Idaho police department, Wood apprehended an elderly man who was driving slightly over the speed limit. The man accused Wood of using excessive force against him, and later sued the department, which settled out of court for $14,500. Wood was never disciplined for the incident, the Idaho Statesman (http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/state/idaho/article93841257.html) previously reported.
Months after that incident, Wood was caught poaching an elk. His police force fired him for the incident. He had served fewer than two years.
Later, Wood began work with the nearby Adams County Sheriff’s office, where the Statesman reported that he served a four-month probation for filing late reports. The probationary period ended on around the date of Yantis’ shooting.

Jack Yantis family to get $2.6 million settlement from Adams County for Jack’s murder.

Slain Idaho Rancher’s Family Receives $2.6 Million
The family of Idaho rancher Jack Yantis will receive a $2.6 million settlement from Adams County, ID.
Yantis was killed November 1, 2015, by Adams County sheriff’s deputies Brian Wood and Cody Roland while the rancher was attempting to euthanize a bull that had been injured in a car crash. Yantis’ family filed a wrongful death lawsuit that was dismissed November 20, 2018, after the settlement was reached.
The Idaho Statesman (https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/northwest/idaho/article222333690.html) reported it had confirmed the settlement amount via a public records request with the Idaho Counties Risk Management Program, a self-insurance pool that insures local governments, including Adams County.
The night of the incident, the bull was struck on U.S. 95 in front of Yantis’ ranch, and county dispatchers called Yantis, 62, to the scene. Yantis arrived with a rifle to euthanize the bull but the deputies claimed he held the rifle in a threatening manner and refused to lower it. He was shot 12 times.
The Idaho State Police, the Idaho Attorney General and the FBI investigated the case for nine months, but said they did not find enough evidence to file criminal charges. The two deputies no longer work for Adam County. Roland resigned one month after the shooting. Wood left after being on paid leave for 10 months following the shooting.
After the settlement, Yantis’ widow, Donna, told the Associated Press that the end of the legal action didn’t bring closure. “No amount of money can replace him,” she said of her husband.
