<div>Please enable Javascript to watch this video</div> A key conservative in Congress who now is retired warned America back in 1997, when Bill Clinton was in the Oval Office, of problems that would develop with an armed Bureau of Land Management.
He also said there would be problems with the weaponization of the Internal Revenue Service, the use of the feared federal agency to attack critics of the Washington bureaucracy or the White House agenda.




And the warning from then-Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, quoted WND founder and CEO Joseph Farah, who then was running the Western Journalism Center in Sacramento and had researched the massive number of federal officers Washington was arming.
Paul, whose son, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is a leading contender for the GOP nomination for president in 2016, warned Congress: "Thanks to a recent article by Joseph Farah, director of the Western Journalism Center of Sacramento, California, appearing in the Houston Chronicle, the surge in the number of armed federal bureaucrats has been brought to our attention. Farah points out that in 1996 alone, at least 2,439 new federal cops were authorized to carry firearms. That takes the total up to nearly 60,000. Farah points out that these cops were not only in agencies like the FBI, but include the EPA, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, and the Army Corps of Engineers. Even Bruce Babbitt, according to Farah, wants to arm the Bureau of Land Management. Farah logically asks, 'When will the NEA have its armed art cops?' This is a dangerous trend."
Paul said it's "ironic that the proliferation of guns in the hands of the bureaucrats is pushed by the anti-gun fanatics who hate the Second Amendment and would disarm every law-abiding American citizen."
"Yes, we need gun control. We need to disarm our bureaucrats, then abolish the agencies. If government bureaucrats like guns that much, let them seek work with the NRA," he said.
"Force and intimidation are the tools of tyrants. Intimidation with government guns, the threat of imprisonment, and the fear of harassment by government agents puts fear into the hearts of millions of Americans. Four days after Paula Jones refused a settlement in her celebrated suit, she received notice that she and her husband would be audited for 1995 taxes. Since 1994 is the current audit year for the IRS, the administration's denial that the audit is related to the suit is suspect, to say the least."
Armed BLM officers were in the headlines this month for a raid on a family-run Nevada ranch where there was a dispute over the use of federal land to graze cattle, as his family had been doing since before there was a BLM.
The IRS has been collecting all sorts of unwanted publicity since it was revealed last year that agents had targeted conservative and Christian organizations applying for tax status in preparation for the 2012 presidential race. Congressional investigators still haven't reached the bottom of the mystery of who ordered the moves by the federal government against groups and individuals.


Understand the real morality behind gun rights with "Shooting Back: The Right and Duty of Self-Defense," from the WND Superstore! (http://superstore.wnd.com/sales/BUNDLES/The-Shooting-Back-Bundle_2)
Federal bureaucrats said rancher Cliven Bundy owes more than $1 million in fees for using the land. Bundy argues that he would pay the fees to the state, whose land he was using, not the federal government.
The raid of armed federal agents was met with hundreds of armed volunteers who defended Bundy. The federal bureaucrats withdrew amid threats from Senated Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., that the federal attack was far from over. He described the rancher and his friends as domestic terrorists.
Rep. Paul pointed out that there is a real fear in the United States of armed federal agents, because of the "police state mentality" that triggered the killings Ruby Ridge and Waco by federal officers.
"Under the Constitution, there was never meant to be a federal police force," Paul said. "Even an FBI limited only to investigations was not accepted until this century. Yet today, fueled by the federal government's misdirected war on drugs, radical environmentalism, and the aggressive behavior of the nanny state, we have witnessed the massive buildup of a virtual army of armed regulators prowling the states where they have no legal authority."
Paul said the "sacrifice of individual responsibility and the concept of local government by the majority of American citizens has permitted the army of bureaucrats to thrive."
"The enforcement of the interventionist state requires a growing army of bureaucrats," he said. "Since groups demanding special favors from the federal government must abuse the rights and property of those who produce wealth and cherish liberty, real resentment is directed at the agents who come to eat out our substance. The natural consequence is for the intruders to arm themselves to protect against angry victims of government intrusion."
A recent Fox News report confirmed that as of about 18 months ago, federal agencies had some 120,000 full-time officers carrying guns, double the number reported in 1997.
At the Freedom Outpost blog (http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/04/ron-paul-warned-armed-blm-1997/), Tim Brown commented: "Well, we now have seen a massive amount of ammunition being solicited for by various federal agencies, from the Social Security Administration to various departments under the authority of Homeland Security to agencies such as DOC, NOAA, NMFS, OLE, and NED.
"Even the postal service is in on the purchase of guns and ammo, while the IRS trains with AR-15s," he continued.
"Ron Paul has been warning America for decades of its foolish decisions regarding monetary policy, foreign policy and yes, the growing tyrannical police state. I'd say the recent standoff, killing of cattle, violence against American citizens and armed federal agents building up in Nevada against the Bundys are validation that Paul has been right all along."
One of the biggest recurring headlines in recent months (http://wnd.com/?p=504549) has been the multiple massive ammunition purchases on the part of the federal government.
WND reported months ago that the federal agencies drew the ire of Congress by sucking up ammunition supplies so fast that citizens and even police forces have been unable to meet their own needs.
One big purchase was for the Transportation Security Administration (https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=b05fbc23d218ed979d1631a8c62f4b70&tab=core&_cview=0), which doesn't even arm most of its agents.
The FedBizOpps.gov website reports that the TSA is seeking to purchase nearly 3.5 million rounds of .347 SIG caliber training ammunition. Weapons experts told WND the .347 is an unknown caliber, and the document likely contained a mistake, instead intending to reference a .357 caliber.
But then-Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano admitted that the federal government was drying up ammunition supplies (http://wnd.com/?p=417093).
She was asked by a House panel about the huge government purchases, estimated to be in the range of 1.6 billion rounds, enough for many years of war at the rate ammunition is used by the U.S. military.
Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., wanted to know whether the reports were accurate.
"This was a five-year strategic sourcing contract for up to one-point-whatever billion rounds," she confirmed.
Calculations done by the Washington Examiner (http://washingtonexaminer.com/napolitano-drudge-report-is-not-credible/article/2527529) suggest the reported 1.6 billion rounds would be enough for "something like a 24-year supply of ammunition on hand."
Other consumers of ammunition, however, from the weekend hunter to police departments, are finding the shelves bare.

Congressman: Disband BLM, IRS 'paramilitary' teams'It leads to greater distrust between American people and the government'Published: 05/04/2014 at 7:18 PMimage: http://www.wnd.com/files/2014/02/gco

http://www.wnd.com/files/2014/04/swat.jpgU.S. Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, is launching an effort to strip government departments of their ability to create and arm paramilitary units if those agencies have no law-enforcement function.
Stewart’s leadership on the issue was triggered by the recent standoff between the Bureau of Land Management, or BLM, and Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy. The congressman says regardless of one’s views on that dispute, he doesn’t see why the BLM needs its own SWAT team.
“This is actually pretty simple, and I think it’s fairly noncontroversial,” Stewart said. “I challenge people who don’t agree with me on this, ‘Can you think of a single instance where a regulatory agency, these aren’t law enforcement agencies they’re regulatory agencies, like the BLM or the EPA or even the Department of Education needs to enforce a regulation and they need to do it right now, and they’re so urgent they need to call in their SWAT teams.
“I just don’t think that resonates with the American people. At the end of the day, it leads to greater distrust between the American people and the federal government and that doesn’t help anyone,” said Stewart, noting recent scandals at regulatory agencies should make people alarmed at the prospect of those agencies being heavily armed.
He asked, “Do you trust the IRS more or less than you did a year ago? Do you trust the BLM more or less than you did a month ago? If I were one of the leaders of these agencies, I would want to answer that question and then see what I could do to increase trust with my constituents rather than exaggerate this distrust that has developed.”
Listen to the WND/Radio America interview with Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah:





<div>Please enable Javascript to watch this video</div> Stewart said he's fine with government agents carrying a sidearm while on duty for their own protection, but he said the military-style assault units need to be severely reined in. He noted that there are plenty of legitimate avenues for regulatory agencies to use in dealing with non-compliant people.
“If they have an issue and they need enforcement from law-enforcement agencies, there's other options that they could call upon that would be less confrontational and would be much less heavy-handed by the federal government,” Stewart said.


“They can call on the local sheriff," he suggested. "There's a reason that local sheriffs are elected. They're elected because if they abuse their authority or if their deputies abuse their authority, you can hold them accountable. In this case, it's impossible to hold these federal regulatory agencies accountable for times they may be heavy-handed or just over the top."
While the battle between the BLM and Cliven Bundy drew immense media coverage, Stewart said many, if not most, of the federal regulatory agencies have these sorts of paramilitary units of regulatory agencies that make life miserable for Americans more often than we realize.
“There's an example in Pennsylvania recently, where the Food and Drug Administration raided a farm. This was just a family farm. This wasn't a big corporate enterprise. His crime was shipping unpasteurized milk across state lines,” said Stewart, who also noted that the Department of Education has engaged in these sorts of actions.
“One of their SWAT teams battered down a door at six o'clock in the morning, arrested the individual there, put his three children in a police car and left them there for hours. What they were investigating was his former wife's college financial aid fraud. So we're seeing more aggressive tactics being used within the last few years,” said Stewart, who described how this trend has become far more common in recent years.
“It's something that's slowly developed but has become much more noticeable and much more aggressive in the last few years,” he said.
What led to an out-of-control government that increasingly ignores the Constitution and exploits Sept. 11 security fears to justify spying on its citizens? “Police State USA” chronicles how America has arrived at the point of being a de facto police state. (http://superstore.wnd.com/books/Police-State-USA-How-Orwells-Nightmare-is-Becoming-our-Reality-Autographed-Hardcover)
Stewart is currently studying the issue before deciding how to approach it legislatively, but he sees two paths that seem most plausible.
“I actually sit on the Appropriations Committee," he said. "We may be able to just look at a tool of defunding some of these units. We may end up with legislation that goes before the House. I was sitting on the House floor yesterday, and I had half-a-dozen members come up who had heard I was taking on this challenge. And they said, 'Hey, I want to help you. I want to join in that effort.'”
Despite the fierce partisan divide on most issues before Congress, Stewart believes this can be a major bipartisan effort.
“I really think this is something that resonates across party lines," he said. "I don't know many liberals or progressives or Democrats who are very comfortable with this. I think many of them feel the same way that I do."
Another major debate hanging over the BLM-Bundy feud and the flexing of federal muscles in general centers on the government's ownership of massive swaths of land in the western U.S. Stewart says that's a big problem.
“I've got counties in my district here in Utah that are 93 percent controlled by the federal government," he said. "Statewide, it's something approaching 60 percent. Nevada is something like 80 percent. People who aren't familiar with that are often surprised and even shocked. How is it that in a state like Utah, more than half of it falls under federal control when you've got a state like New York that's maybe one percent?”
The congressman said there's any obvious solution to that as well.
“There's a broader effort, which I support and many of us, in fact most of us, support in the West," Stewart explained. "That is to return control of federal lands to state control. There's no reason for that still to fall under federal jurisdiction."

BLM Forms New Division of Security, Protection and Intelligence (S.P.I.)

by Red Smith (https://shastalantern.net/author/red-smith/) · June 2, 2016
https://i0.wp.com/shastalantern.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/BLM.jpg?resize=369%2C369&ssl=1

The Bureau of Land Management has announced the formation of new division of Security, Protection and Intelligence. The new division is being created months after Ammon Bundy led dozens of armed anti-federal-lands activists in seizing the unoccupied Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. It’s unclear to what extent the new BLM law enforcement post is connected to the Malheur incident or to the general rise in anti-federal-lands activity in the rural West.

This new department will operate independently of the already existing BLM Department of Law Enforcement and Protection under Director Salvatore Lauro, it will also operate independent of the Department of the Interiors (BLM’s mother agency) according to James Gallagher Director of Intelligence for the Department of Interior. In fact it is quite unclear as to who will have oversight over this new department or who authorized it’s creation. In calls to BLM public affairs officers they were unaware of the creation of the new division. Contact with Oregon Representative Greg Walden’s office and Utah Senator Mike Lee’s office led to similar results. We are awaiting comment from individuals in those offices who have promised to contact the Shasta Lantern with further information. Among our questions asked, other than who authorized S.P.I.’s creation are, how many agents will the new department entail, will the department be recruited from existing BLM employees or from other Federal Agencies, will this lead to a budget increase for BLM or will the department operate within current fiscal constraints, what is the overall stated mission of this new department, what form of training will agents receive to carry it out, who will train them, and lastly what intelligence with S.P.I. be collecting, who will they be collecting it on, how will it be collected and how will that intelligence be used?


https://i0.wp.com/shastalantern.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/DanLove.jpg?resize=178%2C237&ssl=1

What we do know, is that at his own request, BLM Special Agent in Charge of S.P.I. will be none other than Officer Dan Love of Bundy Ranch and Blanding, UT. infamy. A polarizing figure, Love is both loved and reviled in Nevada and Utah, where he was BLM’s top cop. In Nevada and Utah, Love led some of BLM’s most complicated law enforcement operations. Love was the lead agent in BLM’s two-year undercover investigation with the FBI nearly a decade ago into illegal Native American artifact trafficking (https://shastalantern.net/2016/02/oregon-special-agent-in-charge-bretzing-linked-to-bundy-ranch-lead-agent-daniel-p-love-and-wrongful-deaths-in-2009-indian-artifact-investigation/) in the Four Corners region that resulted in the arrest of more than two dozen people and the suicide of a well-respected local doctor. In 2008, Love arrested and helped prosecute environmental activist Tim DeChristopher for disrupting a BLM oil and gas lease sale in Salt Lake City that critics said imperiled Arches National Park and the climate. Love was also the lead agent at the Bunkerville Cattle Rustling incident when BLM unlawfully attempted to remove cattle belonging to Cliven Bundy.

Love’s appointment to this new role will certainly be viewed as an affront to many BLM detractors who claim BLM has far overeached it’s power and authority and view Love as the poster child for that sentiment.

As always we will bring you more information on this story as it becomes available.

The wild horses population is destroying Nevada rangeland for wildlife and cattlemen alike.
I knew George Parman when I was in highschool before he moved up to Eureka County in Northern Nevada. I know the ranch he refered to at the south end of the Monitor range, Hunts Canyon Ranch. Everthing thes men said about the wild horses is true. Before the passage of the wild horse and burro act there were several small bands of horses running the valleys. The bukaroos caught a few and broke them for cow horses. There were several "mustangers" who made their living trapping mustangs and selling them. The population was fairly stable. The mustang is not native the the Americas and has no natural enemies. They destroy the ranchers waterholes, they drive all the other animals off, break down the fences. The wild horse and burro act was a huge mistake. The horses starve to death, the wild life suffers.The rural community suffers all at the taxpayeres expense.

UNITY THROUGH SOLUTIONS DISCUSSES THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT AND US GOVERNMENT LAND GRABS.


https://unitythroughsolutions.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/fed_land_large.png?w=1236&h=900Feds own alot of our land.

We are aware of the dangerous precedents that have been “arranged” by certain actors operating as key political appointees of critical infrastructure oversight agencies and the disastrous outcomes when Americans are killed protecting their land and rights.

We all feel horrible for the disrupted lives of these families. We are deprived of continued association with our neighbors who become victims of corrupt USGov bureaucrats.

Lets remember that Harry Reid’s son leads a solar deal that desires certain land holdings in Nevada. Therefore :

Harry Reid is a corrupt politician whose self dealing has resulted in deaths. Accordingly Harry Reid should be indicted for profiteering and using his political power for profit. However we should also be careful and not protect our natural assets from unscrupulous operators who would rape our lands for profit.

Hillary Clinton cut a deal with a Russian company to steal property in the US Northwest resulting in law enforcement officers being forced to take the life of a citizen protecting his livelihood.

Both “Slick Hillary” and “Dirty Harry” are bad actors who used their public office and our BLM for profit but we must preserve our lands for all Americans so lets not attack the BLM.

SOLUTION:

Prosecute politicians who use their influence to profit or to create situations to create discord with legitimate lease holders who are just exercising their livelihood.

Throwing out the “baby with the bath water” is not productive. Accordingly while certain personalities inside the BLM become pawns of political interests, our focus should be on impeaching crooked politicians like Harry Reid and indicting Hillary Clinton for running “fees for favors” criminal enterprises.

Ed Note: Originally, I deployed this video series under the moniker “Operation Wildlife Rescue.” But with the election of Donald Trump, we can now push to end these home-wrecking agents of the U.N. altogether

As most of the population who loves freedom, rule of law and Constitutional principles celebrates the victory of President-Elect, Donald J. Trump, there is one group who may be celebrating a bit louder than most; especially if DJT makes good on his campaign promises. The group I am referring to is the American Rancher, whose treatment is one which encompasses the true meaning of deplorable.

Unless you live in a state on the left side of the Mississippi River, you are likely unaware of the oppressive nature and actions of the Bureau of Land Management against the good men and women of the West. Certainly, the Cliven Bundy stand-off made international news, but the woes of Cliven, Carol and the rest of the Bundy family merely scratches the surface of the criminality perpetrated by our own Federal Government; via their proxies the Bureau of Land Management, the US Forest Service and a variety of other un-constitutional agencies.

During the run-up to his subsequent election, Donald Trump promised to end all federal agencies that rob Americans of their livelihood and property. The police-state intimidation tactics of the BLM have been responsible for wrecking homesteads that have been in some families for generations, and certainly qualifies as one of those agencies that need to be eliminated. To that effort, I will now continue to release the cache of videos that I have “in the can” from my two trips through Nevada this summer. I hit the pause button after the Republican Convention because election news sucked the air out of all other news stories.

http://northwestlibertynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Organic-Banner-728x90-300x37.jpg (http://organicbucket.us/)

As the election cycle progressed in 2016, the criminality inside organizations like the Justice Department and, to a lesser extent, the FBI finally became apparent to the “average Joe” American. If you are one of those people, trust me when I tell you that the same “culture of criminality” that now infects those once-honorable agencies has been present out West for years. So with that in mind, please enjoy the next video in the series, which I have linked below.

The abuse has no end.

The federal government had a hand in the murder of LaVoy Finicum. Now they continue to make life more difficult for his widow . . .

Tri-State State Livestock News - What ranchers read

Locked out: Jeanette Finicum struggles with BLM after shooting death of her husband, LaVoy, by Oregon State Troopers

December 23, 2016

Her husband will never return to trail the cows to winter range again, but Jeanette Finicum is determined that she will get the job done, eventually.

http://www.tsln.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Finicum-TSLN-122416-1.jpg http://www.tsln.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Finicum-TSLN-122416.jpg

Although she’s provided a check to fully cover fines assessed over the last year, the Arizona rancher continues to be locked out of both her winter and summer grazing ranges.

Jeanette, whose husband Robert “LaVoy” Fincium was shot and killed by Oregon State Troopers last January, has managed grazing decisions on their northern Arizona ranch alone since his Jan. 26, 2016 death.

Pounding staples, doctoring sick calves and putting out mineral are on Jeanette’s list of tasks to complete throughout the year. Those are the easy jobs. She can soon add a much more painful item to the list: filing suit against the Bureau of Land Management. She plans to file suit within the next two weeks.


“My husband is dead because he went out to help the Hammonds. He stood for them and now they (the federal government) are trying real hard to make an example out of my husband. This is what will happen if you dare stand up. It’s like they are saying ‘you get in your place and don’t get out of it again or we’ll put you in solitary confinement or we’ll kill you.’ That’s what I see happening — innocent people are in jail right now.”
Jeanette Finicum


The Finicums manage two separate grazing permits – summer and winter. Their 16,000 acres of winter range is to be grazed between Oct. 15 and May 15.

During the fall of 2015, LaVoy decided to utilize one pasture of his of winter range that hadn’t been grazed in six years. “The grass was really tall and he said, ‘I’m going to let the cows use the grass.’” Although his range allotment agreement allows him 169 AUMs, LaVoy had never turned out more than 70 head of cows on his winter range – in fact, many years it was less than that. He put his cattle on this pasture about 40 days before Oct. 15.

In order to best utilize the grass, some of the 70 cows remained on that pasture throughout the winter, and others were moved “on top” to the “mountain” where the rest of the winter range is located.

“As ranchers we take into consideration all of these things – we want to use the grass in a way that is best for the grass,” Jeanette said.

Jeanette explains that the land that she and LaVoy always considered their “summer” range is actually a small allotment that allows for maintenance of 35 AUMS year round, but they only used the land in the summer.

“It wouldn’t serve that property well (to graze it year round). We want to be good stewards of the range,” she said. “I know there are bad apples out there but most ranchers want the land to be well taken care of to be able to produce and stay healthy.”

The Finicums’ grazing fees have always been paid in full, she explains. Before traveling to Oregon to join protesters in opposition to the arrest of federal land ranchers Steven and Dwight Hammond, LaVoy had announced his plan to begin to pay his grazing fees to the county rather then the feds. He believed that constitutionally the state and county should be managing the land. “He made the announcement that he was no longer going to sign the contract, but the contracts were still in effect.” Because of of LaVoy’s untimely death, the contract remained intact and grazing fees were paid, Jeanette said.

Jeanette said that the BLM fined her trespass fees for the days the cattle were on the winter allotment prior to Oct. 15, and fees continued to accrue, even after the Oct . 15 turn-out date came and went.

In an effort to reduce the trespass fees to a more reasonable figure, Jeanette negotiated with the BLM throughout the spring. It came to her attention that she would not be allowed to use her “summer” range and she began to look for alternative pasture. Finding none, she felt like she had “nowhere to go,” and finally decided to dry-lot her cows and calves, taking them off winter range the first weekend in July.

Although Tri-State Livestock News asked Arizona state BLM representatives a number of questions relating to this subject, their response was brief:

“The Bureau of Land Management has been in contact with attorneys representing Jeanette Finicum and LaVoy Finicum’s estate since May 2016, in an attempt to resolve fines associated with a nearly year-long grazing trespass on the Tuckup Allotment,” said Amber Cargile, director of communications for Arizona’s BLM department.

Jeanette continued negotiations with the BLM to not only lessen the trespass fines, but also to complete other paperwork the BLM was calling for because they were not recognizing her as the allotment owner.

Rather than allow Jeanette to take over the grazing allotments after LaVoy’s death, state BLM representatives said she was not considered the heir to the allotments, even though she was the widow of one. They told her the grazing permits terminated upon his death and that she would have to start at square one with the application process to graze her (their) cattle on the allotment. Jeanette said the BLM also told her that her grazing rights are not “inheritable,” but she and her attorney disagree. “It is property and an asset to our estate,” she said.

The BLM said an environmental impact study would have to be conducted to determine whether or not she was eligible to graze the allotments.

Jeanette’s attorney advised her that under BLM rule 43 CFR 4110.2-3, the BLM is required to provide her two years to meet any paperwork requirements, and must allow her to continue to graze her cattle during those two years. Jeanette said she and her attorneys brought this law to the attention of BLM representatives and were told, “we don’t do it that way.”

“The BLM recognizes that Mrs. Finicum is a personal representative of her late husband’s estate. The BLM has been working with Mrs. Finicum and her legal counsel on issues related to both the fees associated with her husband’s estate as well as the future of the permit. Due to the ongoing nature of these discussions, we’re not at liberty to provide additional details at this time,” said BLM’s Cargile.

Jeannette drylotted the cows and calves throughout the summer to avoid selling the entire herd. She worked to meet BLM requirements, planning to turn her cattle out on winter range at the proper time without incident. Fines of over $12,000 had mounted over the trespass and when negotiations continued to dead-end, Jeanette decided to pay those fines in full.

With a 50-mile trail to her winter range, Mrs. Finicum had begun moving cattle on Oct. 13, planning to make about 15 miles per day until she arrived. Her mother in law had agreed to deliver a check for $12,355.47, the amount of the trespass fines, and her application required for the BLM’s environmental impact study. “I was told we had a deal with the BLM,” she remembers.

About one full day into the trail, a messenger arrived telling her that the BLM would not take her check and that she would not be allowed to turn her cattle onto her BLM winter range allotment.

“They said they weren’t accepting my check I’m 14 miles into the middle of the desert with cows and calves and nowhere to go,” she recalls.

“I had to find another range. My attorney and I, at that point, were still trying to negotiate. We thought it would be less than 30 days and I’d be back on my range. Finally my attorney said, ‘Jeanette, this is ridiculous.’ They won’t even follow their own laws, you need to do something, you need to move forward.”

So she decided to file suit.

Jeanette said her sister in law stepped in and offered pasture for her cattle for now.

While she and her late husband always maintained a cordial working relationship with their local BLM office, the state office has now been in communication with her regarding all of these issues, Jeanette said. “My husband and I liked the local range conservationists. We always got along with them. But their hands are tied.” She said that the state BLM office only communicates vaguely, such as offering to negotiate but not following through. “They say they want to work with you but then they do nothing.

“They don’t want my cows back out there.”

She’s “a little angry,” at the whole situation. “My husband is dead because he went out to help the Hammonds. He stood for them and now they (the federal government) are trying real hard to make an example out of my husband. This is what will happen if you dare stand up. It’s like they are saying ‘you get in your place and don’t get out of it again or we’ll put you in solitary confinement or we’ll kill you.’ That’s what I see happening – innocent people are in jail right now,” she said, referencing Steven and Dwight Hammond and five members of the Bundy family.

LaVoy was shot to death during last January’s protest headquartered on the Malheur Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Oregon. While traveling with a caravan of peaceful protesters to a community meeting about federal land issues in nearby John Day,

Oregon, state and federal officers arrested all members of the party except LaVoy, who they killed after he exited his vehicle at a police stop point. The Oregon State Police later claimed that LaVoy was reaching for a weapon.

The Oregon State Police were cleared of any wrongdoing in March when the local investigators determined that the state troopers’ fatal shots were justified. But two shots from FBI agents remain under investigation. Initially FBI agents denied taking the shots toward LaVoy as he exited the vehicle with his hands in the air, but it was later proven that the shells were deployed from FBI weapons.

Jeanette said she has filed an intent to sue for wrongful death over LaVoy’s murder.

Backers of state control of public lands in Nevada gear up for new push. A big concern of opponents is the cost of firefighting. We didn't have the fires pre-1970 BLM interference we have today.

Backers of state control of US land gear up for new push

Posted: Tuesday, December 27, 2016 1:48 pm

http://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/argus-press.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/f/38/f38051bc-ea5f-562b-84e3-2826abd7ef26/5862ba3e520c8.image.jpg?resize=300%2C214


RENO, Nev. (AP) — Backers of a plan to force the federal government to turn over control of millions of acres of land to Nevada are gearing up for new efforts in Congress and hoped-for support from President-elect Donald Trump.

They're starting with plans to convince a skeptical public that state control of nearly 7.3 million acres currently under the U.S. Bureau of Land Management wouldn't disrupt hunting, wildlife and off-highway riding — or stick taxpayers with big bills for fighting wildfires.

"If they put this on the ballot today it would fail," said Nevada state Sen. Pete Goicoechea, R-Eureka, who supports the effort.

"We are just looking for the opportunity to showcase the state can manage these lands better," he told the Reno Gazette-Journal (http://on.rgj.com/2hnOsGZ).

The most detailed plan is a former bill sponsored in Congress by U.S. Rep. Mark Amodei, R-Nev., called the Honor the Nevada Enabling Act of 1864.

The bill, which expired with the end of the session, included two phases of land takeovers.

The first would cover nearly 7.3 million acres, including about half within a checkerboard pattern traversing the state from Sparks to Wendover. Property the government has already "designated for disposal" was also included.

The second phase would transfer millions more acres managed by the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Reclamation "upon request by the state or local governments."

Designated wilderness, conservation areas, national monuments, wildlife refuges, land managed by the defense and energy departments and American Indian reservation land would be exempt.

All told, Amodei's bill could have reduced the percentage of land in Nevada owned by the federal government from about 87 percent to 75 percent.

Critics called it overreach, compared with consensus land bills that tend to focus on smaller transfers and specific properties.

"It is nothing like the lands bills the state has done in the past," said Kyle Davis, a consultant for the Nevada Conservation League and opponent of the concept.

Bids for state control have roots in states' rights flare-ups such as the Sagebrush Rebellion and, more recently, armed standoffs outside Bunkerville, Nevada, and in Oregon involving protesters and members of cattleman Cliven Bundy's family.

Mike Baughman who created a 2014 report to the Nevada Legislature detailing how a takeover of public lands could work, said he heard concerns about wholesale land sales.

The report said Nevada could generate $56 million to $206 million annually in revenue from the land, with money going to schools and other uses.

During a recent meeting with proponents of the Nevada bill, Idaho lawmaker Scott Bedke, R-Oakley, called it important to emphasize revenue prospects to attract public support.

"The beneficiaries are the school kids, that allays a lot of concerns," he said.

Others, including Goicoechea, have said revenues might be over-estimated. They express concerns about costs, particularly firefighting.

In recent decades, more than 6 million acres of Nevada rangeland has burned, with the cost of firefighting and landscape rehabilitation largely borne by the federal government.

A recent example is the Hot Pot fire, which burned more than 122,000 acres of mostly federal land near Midas last July.

In addition to the cost of fighting the fire, the federal government is footing a $5.1 million bill to rehabilitate the burned land.

"I haven't heard one person give me a straight answer on where that money is going to come from," said Brad Brooks, a Wilderness Society regional director in Idaho who has studied land transfer proposals across the West.
"The idea you are just switching managers totally ignores economic reality that the state would have to bear the burden of managing firefighting cost," he said.

Goicoechea said he was confident the state could do a better job managing fires.

During a meeting with proponents, Amodei acknowledged the difficulty of getting a bill through Congress but said he would try again.

Supporters won't be the only ones who weigh in, he said.

As the USA anticipates the official “changing of the guard” on Jan 20, 2017, it would seem, by all accounts, that we are in store for a radical new America, courtesy of Donald J. Trump. Normally, the term radical would elicit negative feelings and probably, as it did for me, conjure images of a Radical Islamist; a term that neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama would use in public, even now. In this case, however, the term radical is not only appropriate, but necessary when it comes to dealing with the BLM and its evil surrogates.

If you visit my End the BLM page (http://northwestlibertynews.com/endtheblm) you can see all my previous material on the subject. I have also created a Bundy playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBzdSlWFrhE4Q8SYoXSrQcKasr1LLyb8r) on my YouTube channel in case you need to get up to speed on that fiasco, which occurred in Southern Nevada in the spring of 2014.

In the video below, I feature Nevada rancher and historian, Cliff Gardner. Cliff was my contact on the ground and was invaluable in setting up meetings with the numerous ranchers that I had the pleasure to record and interview throughout the Silver State during the summer of 2016. Cliff’s contacts are impressive, however it’s the voluminous amount of research material that Cliff has collected about the history of the West that really catches the eye. When I say that Cliff has collected tens of thousands of documents over 20 years, I am not exaggerating. So, please take the time to watch the video below as my friend, Cliff Gardner traces the corruption out West right back to the source.

Cause of Action sues Bureau of Land Management for shielding information on Expansion of Federal Lands

CoA Institute Sues BLM for Shielding Information on Expansion of Federal Lands

Cause of Action Institute (http://causeofaction.org/coa-institute-sues-blm-shielding-information-expansion-federal-lands/) January 25, 2017

Washington, D.C. – Cause of Action Institute (“CoA Institute”) today sued the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) to obtain access to records about the agency’s acquisition of land in Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico. Last year, the BLM asked Congress for nearly $90 million for new purchases, even though the agency already is responsible for about 250 million acres of federally-owned land. Americans deserve to understand how and why the BLM wants to increase its control over land that could otherwise be used for private or state purposes.

To shed light on the BLM’s land deals and ensure that the agency is responsibly managing its resources, CoA Institute submitted a Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) request on August 10, 2016 seeking purchase agreements, appraisals, and related communications. Nearly six months later, the agency has failed to issue a final determination on CoA Institute’s request or produce responsive records as required by FOIA.

CoA Institute Assistant Vice President Lee Steven: “When the Bureau of Land Management buys private land to add to the hundreds of millions of acres the federal government already owns, Americans have a right to know why. According (https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R42346.pdf) to the Congressional Research Service, the federal government owns almost half the land of 11 western states and more than 60 percent of Alaska. The last thing these states need is more federal control of their land.”

This is from the Elko Daily Free Press, Sept. 11, 2014 ~ Fifteen facts about ranchers and rights. Points 10 and 11, the Hage family was awarded 1.6 million in damages, still today they have not seen one penny.

http://elkodaily.com/news/opinion/commentary-fifteen-facts-about-ranchers-and-rights/article_1e4a7e70-3957-11e4-8a10-f760dea42179.html

Commentary: Fifteen facts about ranchers and rights



By WADDIE MITCHELL
Sep 11, 2014
30 (http://elkodaily.com/news/opinion/commentary-fifteen-facts-about-ranchers-and-rights/article_1e4a7e70-3957-11e4-8a10-f760dea42179.html#comments)


Fifteen facts you should know (and a little commentary you should probably hear):

1. Regulation without representation is tyranny.

2. The first amendment guarantees Americans the right to be represented in the making of regulations they will live under.


3. Private citizens have no representation in the regulations that the BLM writes,enforces and ultimately will judge disputes, yet we are forced to obey. Some of those regulations have grave effects on states, communities, business and private citizens.

4. The very nature of a bureaucracy is to grow. Commentary: The BLM has grown out of control. They used strong-arm tactics; armored vehicles, agents in fatigues, helmets and full body armor, automatic weapons, attack dogs, Tasers, you get the point, to collect on a debt of ... money ... they claimed is owed by the rancher Cliven Bundy. Cliven Bundy has no criminal background, but does happen to live on a piece of ground his family has lived on for a century. The BLM wants that piece of land for the privately owned water rights. Not to protect a tortoise. Not to improve the range. All this through no “law of the land,” but through BLM regulation, regulation they wrote.

5. There is no debtors prison in America. Commentary: The only way to go to prison in America for a debt, is a debt to the government. Why does that not surprise? What is good for the goose is not good for the gander, when the gander is the government.

6. The BLM is willing to kill Americans to collect on a debt of ... money ... not stolen from anybody, not earned by them, just billed by them because they wrote a regulation. Commentary: Wayne Hage, the Dann sisters, Raymond Yowell, Laney and many others who were raided and had their livelihoods stolen, never have presented a threat to national, state, county, city or citizens safety. I know the “willing to kill” thing might sound harsh, but when you have an army of uniformed thugs, body armored up with automatic weapons warning through a bull horn, if you come any closer, we will shoot, qualifies as showing a willingness.

7. The Bureau of Land Management is overseen by a man who has, admittedly, no background or education in land management, but is a relative of Harry Reid’s.

8. Harry Reid said the President is just a black man with a white man’s accent, then called the targeted Bundy a racist for using the word “negro.” Commentary: as far as I know the word “negro” is not now nor ever has been the “n” word. It was the word of choice in the black community of Cliven and Harry’s generation.

9. The BLM and USFS have systematically put American citizens out of business, stolen private property, water rights, and land with no restitution to their victims and no accountability. Commentary: I guess they want more private property to add to the 90 percent of the land in Nevada, and the other huge percentages of federal lands in the other western States, they already rule over.

10. The BLM lost an important case in court for the very scenarios and tactics they are still employing. They have the use of all the government lawyers they want, that we taxpayers pay for. They stalled the court proceedings in the Wayne Hage case for over 20 years with our tax dollars, of course, created false evidence and bankrupted families that were stuck in the black hole of the legal system. They committed perjury, yet with all their shenanigans, when it finally got to an unbiased court they lost the case. Wayne Hage fought the tyranny the last third of his life but died broke before the ruling came down. Commentary: The BLM was chewed on and chastised by the judge for way overstepping their powers, falsifying evidence, lying, stalling and ruining lives. The judgement against the BLM was for over $1.6 million of our tax dollars. Even with that, no government employee was ever held accountable. Ganders have it made, if you think having it made is being one who would help turn America into a police state.

11. In over three years since the ruling and judgement the BLM has not paid one cent of the court-ordered restitution to the affected family. Commentary: What do you think would happen if the family that’s owed over a million dollars by the BLM would get an army of thugs and go after the BLM employees, intimidate their neighbors and family and steal their private property? Oh yeah, the goose and gander thing again.

12. The BLM and the USFS have proven, since their inception, their inability to perform the purpose of their very existence. Commentary: that being the management of the federal lands, animals on that land and multiple use. Studies show the land is less productive and is in worse shape than when the agencies began to aggressively “manage” things and has a two-thirds loss in productivity. The feral horse issue has become ridiculously expensive, is detrimental to the land and is an inhumane nightmare. Multiple use has fewer “multiples” in the equation. They’ve closed hundreds of miles of public access roads, closed off millions of acres to the public, let millions of acres burn through poor management. Those burns have led to thousands and thousands of acres eroding and washing away.

13. American tax dollars keep paying for the benefits and raises that the underachieving, over aggressive and overpaid agencies give themselves. Commentary: Here is how they manage their (our) money — the BLM budgeted six million dollars to go collect on a $1.3 million disputed debt. Let’s see, that’s spending six dollars to collect one dollar and thirty cents, which is a four dollar and seventy cent loss, times a million. Good plan BLM. Makes us feel good about all the other billions you spend. Seventy-five percent of that disputed bill is interest and penalties that only the government could get away with charging. If you tried that extortion the same government would arrest you. Oops, the goose thing again. Now, why, if they thought what they were doing was forthright would they come backed by an army? In the same light, why would so many people come to stand against tyranny?

More BLM overreach. The rogue agency is closing Utah roads under pressure from green groups.

Under the Adminstrative Procedures Act the bureau writes its regulations with no Congressional oversite and total disregard for the Constitution. With the current state of the corrupt court system, well the people lose.

Utah asks court to reject BLM travel plan settlement

State officials and several Utah counties are pushing to scuttle a proposed settlement between the Bureau of Land Management and environmentalists over controversial travel routes through BLM lands, saying the agreement illegally infringes on counties’ claims to 3,000 disputed roads.

In January, the BLM announced an agreement (http://www.sltrib.com/home/4819026-155/blm-environmental-groups-off-roaders-make-deal)with the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) and its allies to re-evaluate many travel routes authorized in resource management plans that had been revised in 2008 for five of its field offices: Vernal, Price, Richfield, Moab and Kanab.

The settlement would let stand a disputed travel plan for a sixth field office, Monticello, which now covers the new Bears Ears National Monument and will be subject to future monument planning.

The court deal sets an eight-year time frame for evaluating the routes while providing new criteria for deciding whether they should remain open to motorized use or modified to minimize impacts — criteria that includes whether they run through lands with wilderness characteristics.

“We can’t agree with that,” said Assistant Attorney General Tony Rampton, the state’s point person on public-lands litigation.
The state says the program would be imposed on the counties against their will and could jeopardize other historic road claims. The counties say re-examining the routes would be detrimental to their residents who depend on access to public lands for (http://muckrack.com/brian-maffly/articles) their livelihoods and recreation.

“The settlement creates a new regime that is designed to limit access and close travel routes,” the Utah attorney general’s office wrote in a brief filed last month, asking U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball to reject the settlement.

“Requiring the BLM to enhance wilderness characteristics, for example, can only be accomplished by closing roads,” the state wrote in its brief. “The proposed settlement violates the law and public policy, is unfair and unreasonable, and is opposed by the elected representatives of the people who it will most affect.”

The settlement also comes after eight years of legal wrangling over the resource-management plans, which critics said locked in pro-drilling and pro-motorized-vehicle policies as President George W. Bush was leaving office.

“We think this is a reasonable settlement, and the best path forward is to not continue litigating,” said Robin Cooley, a lawyer with Earthjustice, a nonprofit group representing environmental interests. “The counties have this idea that BLM can’t manage lands to protect their wilderness characteristics or even consider them in making decisions. That is just not the law.”
The state and counties’ key concern is that the settlement would undermine road claims being made under an 151-year old law known as RS2477, which are currently pending in federal court — although the proposed settlement explicitly says these claims would not be affected.

“They will be closing roads that are RS2477 roads,” Rampton asserted.

In its initial lawsuit, SUWA argued that the BLM heavily relied on counties’ road claims to decide where to authorize routes without taking measures to safeguard various natural and cultural values. In some cases, agency staffers could not even find actual routes on the ground, according to SUWA legal director Steve Bloch.

As part of the settlement, the SUWA-led coalition also agreed to drop challenges to oil and gas leases sold in 2014 (http://archive.sltrib.com/story.php?ref=/sltrib/news/58416172-78/blm-parcels-suwa-leasing.html.csp), covering 70,000 acres, mostly in the Uinta Basin. The federal government agreed to reimburse $400,000 of the groups’ legal costs.
The agreement comes three years after Judge Kimball concluded the Richfield resource-management plan failed to document (http://archive.sltrib.com/story.php?ref=/sltrib/news/57083197-78/blm-plan-plans-richfield.html.csp) archaeological sites that could be harmed by motorized use. While upholding much of that plan, the judge ordered the BLM to conduct cultural surveys on hundreds of miles of routes, a gargantuan task to be done over three years (http://www.sltrib.com/news/2553493-155/judge-gives-blm-3-years-to). An appeal is pending before the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.

The new agreement would vacate that earlier ruling and require the 10th Circuit to dismiss that appeal.

Meanwhile, a resolution awaiting a vote in the Utah Senate claims the BLM’s 2008 travel plans cut motorized access through affected lands by half. HRC23 (http://le.utah.gov/~2017/bills/static/HCR023.html) calls for a “no net loss” policy whereby the BLM would replace every route closed to motorized use with another offering “equivalent opportunities.”

Utah filed its opposition on behalf of Carbon, Daggett, Duchesne, Emery, Grand and Uintah counties. Kane and San Juan counties filed a separate brief, also asking Kimball to reject the settlement because it “creates a process designed to close even more roads without considering the effect on the counties’ valid existing rights and general transportation plans,” the counties’ outside counsel wrote.

Unfortunately, we are dealing with a law enforcement agency that deploys SWAT teams to wrangle cows, an agency staffed by agents who maintain secret kill lists of American citizens, and an agency that offers no recourse for a terrorized public to check power when it is abused.


Introduction by Editor


Senator Mike Lee is spearheading efforts in Congress to abolish increasingly militaristic and trigger-happy federal law enforcement offices. The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Office of Law Enforcement Services (OLES) is particularly odious, and many believe, has blood on its hands. From the tragic and absurd waste of life and resources Operation Cerberus Action (http://graphics.latimes.com/utah-sting/) in Utah, to the Bundy Ranch raid, to shooting last week of an unarmed couple off-roading in California, BLM law enforcement is beginning to look like a frightening combination of Stasi and the Keystone Kops. That’s not mere hyperbole. Because federal OLES agents enjoy the protections of civil service status, not to mention large, insular bureaucracies to shield them from accountability, there is a seething culture within these organizations of corruption and lawlessness. (See related stories at the end of this post)


Utah, Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and now California have all been bedeviled by over-the-top BLM bullying tactics and overreach. Senator Lee is one of a few sitting members of Congress paying attention to the activities of these dangerous federal law enforcement agencies, and is the only one addressing the issue with boldness and honesty. Last month he called for the abolishment of federal police squads (http://www.freerangereport.com/index.php/2018/06/01/senator-lee-makes-abolishing-federal-law-enforcement-major-election-issue/), and yesterday he issued the following press release in response to the outrageous attack on unarmed off-roaders by BLM agents in the southern California desert.


Press release issued by Senator Mike Lee (R.Ut) on June 21 (https://www.leeforsenate.com/no-trespassing-violators-will-be-shot/)
A little over a week ago, a nurse who was riding as a passenger in an off-road vehicle was shot by an armed BLM ranger in California. While investigations into the incident are ongoing, there are reports (https://kmir.com/2018/06/13/off-roading-adventure-turns-into-a-nightmare/) that the riders were stopping and putting their hands in the air when they were fired on by the BLM ranger.


If this incident hadn’t occurred after years of abuse of power by BLM law enforcement agents, who use heavy-handed tactics as the first and most preferred method for confronting citizens, then perhaps we could excuse this agent’s decision to use lethal force as an extenuating circumstance which demands further scrutiny.


Unfortunately, we are dealing with a law enforcement agency that deploys SWAT teams to wrangle cows, an agency staffed by agents who maintain secret kill lists of American citizens, and an agency that offers no recourse for a terrorized public to check power when it is abused.


For this reason, we need to get rid of the law enforcement agencies maintained by the BLM and USFS and empower local sheriffs to enforce the law in jurisdictions with abundant public land.

For the last week I have been running ads on Facebook to find as many Americans as I can who agree that we should abolish land agency law enforcement programs. As you can see by the results, it only costs $.09 to reach one new person:

Because this is an issue that affects mostly small rural communities in the West, we’re going to need every ally we can find to pressure Congress to eliminate these unnecessary and abusive law enforcement agencies and put our local sheriffs back in charge.


A $9.00 donation will help us reach 100 more people. Will you help me find 100 more patriots (https://secure.anedot.com/leeforsenate/ceae2dfda44d08877b8af) to join our cause by donating $9.00 today?

This little jewel just caught my eye
For this reason, we need to get rid of the law enforcement agencies maintained by the BLM and USFS and empower local sheriffs to enforce the law in jurisdictions with abundant public land.
The sheriff already has jurisdiction over his entire county, public land or otherwise. I suspect Senator Lee is about to propose legislation similar to that introduced by Jason Chavits that will put the county sheriff under federal control.

Author of shocking expose’ talks about BLM director William Woody’s patterns of abuse – Free Range Report

Corrupt head of BLM Law Enforcement William C. Woody



“…because I was the only person that was not incarcerated, indicted, not arrested, did not turn into a confidential informant, did not plead guilty, did not forfeit property, and did not commit suicide. Also, I believe that the information was given to me because I was standing up for my rights and challenging the United States Attorney’s office…”



By Marjorie Haun

A confidential informant recently contacted Free Range Report with insider accounts about the ongoing cronyism, corrupt hiring practices, overspending and abuse of government vehicles and travel time of the current head of Bureau of Land Management Law Enforcement, William C. Woody. Our informant shared shocking details about Woody’s practices and policies which now span two decades, beginning with his job in the Utah Department of Natural Resources. Nepotism, favoritism, arrogance, and pure corruption have marked Woody’s career from the Utah DNR, to the BLM, then to the national Fish & Wildlife Service, and back to BLM, where he currently works out of his Salt Lake City office.

Our informant’s accounts are not unusual, and seem to align with other whistleblower descriptions of lawlessness, rampant nepotism and abuse among the BLM’s top law enforcement officials, most notably, Daniel P. Love, the disgraced Special Agent in Charge (SAC) who, according to our informant, was demoted from his position, but may be drawing a government disability pension for “work-related stress.” The “Wooten Letter,” a leaked whistleblower account which detailed malfeasance on the parts of BLM officials and federal prosecutors and ultimately resulted in Federal Judge Navarro dropping all charges against most Bundy Ranch defendants, depicted Love as a depraved criminal.

Chris Kortlander, the founder of the Custer Battlefield Museum in Garryowen, Montana and author of the shocking expose’, “Arrow to the Heart,” (http://arrowtotheheartbook.com/book/)was contacted by a whistleblower in 2012, who also provided extensive details about Woody’s ongoing malfeasance, which are consistent with more recent accounts of Woody’s abuses. The 2012 account also lays out an institutional “good ol’ boys” network in FWS, where Woody served as Law Enforcement director until 2017. Nepotism, unjustified GS raises, and lavish expense accounts went unchecked by Woody, and it appears that his own corrupt practices gave others free rein to abuse the federal civil service system. Free Range Report interviewed Chris about his experiences, and why exposing Woody and others in federal law enforcement agencies is so important.

(http://arrowtotheheartbook.com/media/)FRR: Tell me a little about what was happening when you received the whistleblower document in 2012.
CK: 2012 was 7 years after my first raid in 2005. I was still in a legal battle with the US attorney’s office for the return of all the museum artifacts, computers, and personal files. I remember going to the post office and picking up the red white and blue priority envelope addressed to me.
Sometimes I don’t open my mail until days later when I have the time. So the envelope sat on my desk unopened for about three days. When I finally opened it and read the first 10 pages, I really didn’t understand the importance or what the document really pertained to, until I read further. I was amazed how the whistle blower document detailed the BLM raids and named all the Agents with specifics. I was blown away how detailed the document was and how determined the author was to make sure that this bombshell landed in my hands.

About two years earlier I authored a detailed complaint (over 50 pages) to the Office of Inspector General of the DOI. My attorney and I specifically outlined the violations of my constitutional guarantees, and alleged multiple felonies, misdemeanors. At the very least the BLM Agents were knee deep in misfeasance and malfeasance.

FRR: Why do you suppose the whistleblower reached out to you?
CK: I believe because I was the only person that was not incarcerated, indicted, not arrested, did not turn into a confidential informant, did not plead guilty, did not forfeit property, and did not commit suicide. Also, I believe that the information was given to me because I was standing up for my rights and challenging the United States Attorney’s office at every corner. I believe that the author knew I was not going to sit on the leaked document.

FRR: How did it inspire you to write Arrow to the Heart?
CK: The Leaked Document was a smoking gun that linked Cerberus action, Custer Battlefield Museum, and the Gibson Guitar raids to a common denominator…money….money….It’s all about the money. The appropriations that the DOI Federal Law Enforcement agencies receive from the United States Congress, every October 31st at the end of the Federal Fiscal Year. More Specifically the BLM Law Enforcement Division receives 261 million dollars for 211 BLM LE Agents…per year. That’s over a million dollars an Agent. What’s wrong with this picture? I felt a patriotic duty to make sure that WE THE PEOPLE knew everything that was being exposed to me for the first time in the leaked document.

FRR: Tell me what kind of response you’ve had from the general public regarding your book. Are readers surprised or outraged by tactics being used by federal LEO’s?

CK: So far, ARROW (http://arrowtotheheartbook.com/media/) is a solid 5-Star review on Amazon. The reviews speak very highly of the story that ARROW (http://arrowtotheheartbook.com/media/) tells. (See reviews for Arrow to the Heart) (https://www.amazon.com/Arrow-Heart-Battlefield-Federal-Government/product-reviews/1682617092/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_show_all_btm?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews)

To the second part of the question, I’m not too hard of a person to track down and get hold of on the phone. I’ve had readers call me and thank me profusely to having the backbone and the wherewithal to tell this horrific story, and the lives that were taken from individuals that were harassed, verbally belittled and threatened by BLM Agents

FRR: Since you have had face to face interactions, some very frightening, with LEO’s from the BLM, why do you think they are so willing to ignore the civil and property rights of Americans, as they did in your case?
CK: Because they are deep-staters, and the BLM Agents answer to nobody. Once the Agents that get paid over six digits get that little gold badge that says US on it, they think they are invincible and untouchable.

FRR: Do you think there is a disconnect between directors like Woody, and the field agents in agencies such as BLM and FWS? Why?
CK: No, I don’t think there is a disconnect. The agents are Woody’s puppets and follow his direct orders, wishes and instructions. Woody is the one in my leaked document that ordered the raid on high-profile targets, only to better his career.

FRR: You have spoken with Greg Gianforte, the chairman of oversight for the House Committee on Natural Resources, about the over-militarization of these agencies, and the utter lack of accountability at the top. Has Representative Gianforte given you any indication that Congress is willing to seriously tackle this issue?
CK: No, when I met with the Congressman, I only had a few minutes to discuss in detail the issues at hand. I believe that he will do the right thing and under the direction of the President of the United States and the secretary of the Interior, he will play a key role on draining the swamp. He did send me a hand written note last week that he’s reading ARROW (http://arrowtotheheartbook.com/media/). (see letter below)

FRR: If you could give Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke any direction in reforming land management agencies, especially the BLM, FWS, and others under the direction of Interior, what would you tell him?
CK: The first thing I would tell the Secretary is that William Woody needs to be fully investigated by the Office of Inspector General of the DOI. Keep in mind, Dan Love was fully investigated by the OIG and the truth was told and published. What happened? Nothing! As you know we are just learning that Dan Love more likely than not going to receive a full Federal Medical Retirement. So that means he will get paid over six digits, and be able to carry a concealed weapon as a retired Federal Law Enforcement Officer for the rest of his life.

I would also explain to him the reason why the Law Enforcement Division of the BLM should be unfunded by Congress, and how the BLM should be a civil department only. The overzealous former BLM agents could be utilized on our United States boundaries by joining border patrol of ICE by laterally transferring.

At the very last the Secretary and Congressman are both reading ARROW (http://arrowtotheheartbook.com/media/). I am sure that will be an eye opener to both of them.
All the stars are lining up to make something happen. Trump, Zinke and Gianforte make a hell of a team.
