Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
The government’s administrative agencies, judges and prosecutors, not just in the Bundy trials, but all across the U.S.A are guilty of federal crimes from treason on down as Dr. Edwin M. Vieira points out in his tweets. The problem is the entire system is so corrupt with blackmail, etc. they all cover for on another. I can see no possibile way this country can recover.

The Constitution itself recognizes that government officials at the highest levels may engage in unconstitutional, and therefore illegal, behavior that constitutes "treason". ARTICLE III, SECTION 3, CLAUSE 1.

Any patriots who oppose rogue public officials cannot be “anti-government”, but "pro government" in the sense of lawful government. Every scheme of usurpation and tyranny by govt. officials is a criminal act. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 241 and 242.

Paul is looking for volunteers for an on-line common law jury.

The essential fraud that the United States is pulling off is to use their court system against people who never have been U. S. Citizens. The gov is a military organization and the courts have no jurisdiction on land not owned by the U.S.
When you force the IRS to assess you, an agent has to sign that assessment and that makes him liable for damages. If you have lost your property there are legal procedures, that they never follow and you can usually find the evidence that they made up the evidence and then you can get your property back plus sue the agents for fraud.
Paul is trying to bring back common law courts, which is our right.
http://recordings.talkshoe.com/TC-39904/TS-1195746.mp3
I just listened to this. Hansen uses volunteers from across America to implement common law. According to Hansen no U.S. Court can review any 7th article court, the only court that can be used to counter one common law court is another common law court.
Police only have jurisdiction, over land owned by the U.S., What they are doing now is a travesty, that we the people have to put a stop to.

Cliven Bundy Sues DOJ and FBI Over Prosecutorial Abuse!
Complaint Meant to Force AG Sessions To Review and Dismiss Charges

(Washington, D.C., November 10, 2017).
Today, Larry Klayman, the founder of both Judicial Watch and now Freedom Watch, announced a lawsuit filed in his private capacity on behalf of Cliven Bundy, the Nevada rancher who stood up to government tyranny under the Obama administration. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (Case No. 1:17-cv-02429) against Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray in their official capacities, the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) and the Inspector General (IG) over their failure to conduct an investigation into the bad faith and gross prosecutorial abuse by federal prosecutors and the destruction and hiding of material exculpatory evidence by the DOJ, FBI and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the ongoing criminal prosecution.
Opening arguments in this criminal prosecution are scheduled to begin this Tuesday, November 14, 2017, in the Las Vegas federal courtroom of Chief Judge Gloria Navarro.
The complaint, which is embedded below or can be found at www.larryklayman.com, details how the the U.S. Attorney for the District of Nevada, working in concert with the FBI and BLM under the Obama administration, systematically violated the constitutional rights of Cliven Bundy and the other defendants in the criminal prosecution, denying them due process, equal protection and other rights under the Constitution and the law in general. This will prevent a fair trial.
One of Cliven Bundy's attorneys, Larry Klayman, had reached out to the new Attorney General Jeff Sessions to review this misconduct, but he has taken no action, instead saying strangely that "I am not taking sides." As a result, Klayman, on behalf of Cliven Bundy, filed a complaint before OPR and IG, which are authorized by the DOJ to conduct ethics and other investigations into misconduct by DOJ prosecutors and others employed by DOJ, which includes the FBI.
However, despite Klayman making numerous inquiries into the existence and status of a bona fide investigation, he received no response, prompting him to file suit to force action by the defendants. The lawsuit asks the DC federal court to order an emergency investigation and once the bad faith and gross prosecutorial abuse are confirmed, order AG Sessions to withdraw the charges against Cliven Bundy and dismiss the criminal prosecution.
"Cliven Bundy and his fellow defendants have been illegally held without bail in federal prisons in Nevada for over a year and nine months and it's time that justice be done, stated Klayman. This political prosecution vindictively commenced by the Obama DOJ, at the urging of former Senator Harry Reid who defamed Cliven Bundy and his family as "domestic terrorists," is a gross abuse of our legal system and must end now! AG Sessions must have the courage to do the right thing, but if he continues to bury his head in the sand as a result of his own problems in the Russian collusion investigation of Special Counsel Robert Mueller and before Congress, the court must order him to take appropriate action!"

What the media refuses to report about the Bundy Cattle Battle
What the Networks Aren’t Telling You About the Nevada Cattle Battle
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS FOR DECADES PERMITTED SOME DESTRUCTION OF TORTOISE HABITATS IF THEY LIKE THE PROJECT, WHILE CRACKING DOWN ON OTHERS AS THEY SEE FIT.

What the Networks Aren’t Telling You
About the Nevada Cattle Battle
(MRC.org) – The showdown between federal authorities and rancher Cliven Bundy, his family and supporters in Nevada is one of those rare topics from the libertarian-conservative news agenda that actually made its way into the establishment media.
Network journalists have consistently framed the case as one of a rancher failing to pay the requested fees for his use of government land. But they have failed to use the case to tell the larger story of how environmental rules — in this case, regulations to protect the desert tortoise, have been implemented in ways that help favored interests (land developers, or solar companies) while hurting others (cattle ranchers, for example).
The networks have focused on the amount of money the government has demanded of Cliven Bundy, and let the Bundy side talk about the government’s heavy-handed tactics in seeking collection. On Saturday’s Good Morning America, for example, ABC’s Mike Boettcher framed the story this way: “For 20 years, rancher Cliven Bundy has refused to pay rent to herd his cattle on government land, $1.1 million in grazing fees.”
On NBC, Sunday’s Today included a soundbite from Bundy’s son, Ammon, talking about the intimidating force employed by federal agents: “They had the tasers, they had the weapons, they had the dogs, and we had nothing except us. We were almost equally numbered, and then they were the aggressors.”
Omitted from the network coverage: How cattle ranchers like Bundy have been victimized by federal government plans to protect the desert tortoise, and how the current showdown was provoked by an environmentalist lawsuit. As the Las Vegas Sun explained: “Things came to a head when environmentalists threatened to sue the agency to protect the endangered desert tortoise that lives on the land where Bundy’s cattle grazed. The BLM said Bundy’s cattle trampled the tortoise’s habitat.”
In their coverage of the Nevada showdown, neither ABC nor NBC ever acknowledged the role of regulations designed to protect the tortoise, while CBS’s Teri Okita in a Friday morning report included it as an afterthought: “Authorities want the cattle off this land for another reason: Environmentalists say it’s home to the endangered desert tortoise and it’s protected land.”
In fact, the tortoise is listed as a “threatened” species, not yet “endangered,” but it’s that designation (applied in 1989) which led to restrictions on cattle ranchers’ use of land in Nevada, California and Utah. And the federal government has for decades permitted some destruction of tortoise habitats if they like the project, while cracking down on others as they see fit.
As the Powerline blog has well-documented, the BLM has enforced these rules in ways that favor projects endorsed by federal bureaucrats, such as solar projects, while being tough on the cattle ranchers.
But go back more than 20 years, and you’ll find a similar effort in the Clinton era to sacrifice 22,000 acres of tortoise habitat to Las Vegas area land developers, even as they set up restrictions on cattle ranchers including Cliven Bundy. As the Washington Post’s Tom Kenworthy documented in a March 21, 1993 article (retrieved via Nexis, so no link):Three years ago, with tortoise populations crashing largely because of habitat destruction across its range in Nevada, California, Arizona and Utah, the federal government added the tortoise to its list of threatened species. The designation immediately imperiled tens of millions of dollars worth of construction projects in this development-crazed city.
But it also triggered a novel experiment in the peaceful resolution of endangered species conflicts that is similar, in many respects, to the process Babbitt would like to try nationwide to defuse explosive development-versus-environment fights.
Employing a rarely used mechanism approved by Congress a decade ago, environmentalists, developers, government officials, cattlemen, miners and off-road vehicle enthusiasts began negotiating a “habitat conservation plan.” The hope was it would satisfy both the needs of the tortoise and the Las Vegas area’s rapacious appetite for development.
The result was a plan to protect the tortoise by providing vast tracts of federal land as a refuge while sacrificing other tortoise areas to development….
By mid-1991, the Fish and Wildlife Service had approved a short-term conservation plan that allows for development of about 22,000 acres of tortoise habitat in and around Las Vegas in exchange for strict conservation measures on 400,000 acres of federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land south of the city. The plan is funded by development fees of between $ 250 and $ 550 an acre paid by builders. Almost $ 10 million has been raised so far.
Among the conservation measures required are the elimination of livestock grazing and strict limits on off-road vehicle use in the protected tortoise habitat. Two weeks ago, the managers of the plan completed the task of purchasing grazing privileges from cattle ranchers who formerly used BLM land….
Cattlemen are particularly irate, and have gone to court to prevent grazing restrictions on BLM land now outside the tortoise management area, where the federal agency has tried to keep cattle from competing with tortoises for forage for three months in the spring. Ranchers like Cliven Bundy, whose family homesteaded his ranch in 1877 and who accuses the government of a “land grab,” are digging in for a fight and say they will not willingly sell their grazing privileges to create another preserve.
The Post article was written more than 21 years ago, before Bundy had been assessed even one dime in fees, and validates his claim that his grievance is about the intrusiveness of federal rules aimed at protecting the desert tortoise, and how the government has used the rules as yet another tool to pick economic winners and losers.
It’s background and context that the networks could have provided as they picked up on the story of a rancher fighting the feds — but, sadly, was omitted from the broadcast coverage.

Former fellow inmate writes Cliven Bundy’s biography

Former inmate shares life behind bars with Cliven Bundy

The Oregonian/OregonLive
“Tell me about this standoff.”
And with that, Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy found a biographer behind bars.
Bundy had invited a fellow inmate to sit down at a table with him. They chatted about farming, raising cattle, growing melons and grandchildren.
Soon, they were walking regular laps together around the inside of a large unit that housed 94 bunk beds between concrete cinderblock walls about 60 miles west of Las Vegas.
And when the time seemed right, inmate Michael Stickler broached the subject of why the Bundy patriarch was in custody at the Southern Nevada Detention Center in Pahrump.
At first Bundy seemed reluctant to talk about the notorious face-off with federal rangers in the desert in 2014, Stickler said. Bundy explained that he didn’t know who he could trust, that the FBI had an undercover agent pose as a journalist and interview his family members on videos that now were being used against him.
But Stickler kept urging the 71-year-old cattleman: “You need to write a book.”
The two eventually shook hands. And now Stickler is preparing to sell a biography about Bundy that offers a glimpse of his life in prison, his surprise at being arrested in Portland last year, his family history and Mormon faith and his two-decade-old battle with the federal government.
https://i2.wp.com/itmattershowyousta...20%2C540&ssl=1Michael Stickler, of northern Nevada, met Cliven Bundy at the Southern Nevada Detention Center earlier this year as Stickler was serving the last two months of a two-and-a-half-year federal prison sentence for theft of public money.
Michael Stickler, of northern Nevada, met Cliven Bundy at the Southern Nevada Detention Center earlier this year as Stickler was serving the last two months of a two-and-a-half-year federal prison sentence for theft of public money.
Stickler is self-publishing the book through his company, Vision Group, and promised to contribute proceeds to Bundy’s legal defense, though no formal contract was signed.
Bundy has been in custody for a year and nine months and is about to go on trial, accused of leading a “massive armed assault” in April 2014 that thwarted federal officers from impounding his cattle. Bundy was grazing them on public land near his ranch in defiance of court orders. He owed more than $1 million in fees and fines that he’d refused to pay for years.
He was recently moved to a jail in Henderson, Nevada, to be closer to the federal courthouse in downtown Las Vegas.
‘HE DIDN’T SEE IT COMING AT ALL’
Stickler, who was released in June after serving out the last two months of a 2 1/2-year sentence for theft of public money, described Bundy’s routine when he was at the Pahrump lockup, a transfer center for federal inmates.
Bundy was housed in the same unit with sons Davey and Mel, but sons Ammon and Ryan were held separately, often kept in solitary confinement for rule violations, including refusing to undergo strip searches when taken to and from federal court.
The father and his four sons all face charges in the standoff near Bunkerville. The senior Bundy, Ammon and Ryan Bundy are on trial now. Thirty days after that trial ends, Davey and Mel Bundy are scheduled for trial.
Because of Cliven Bundy’s length of time at the detention center, he snagged a coveted lower bunk bed against the wall. Son Davey’s bunk bed was next to his, and Mel’s was a couple of rows away, Stickler said.
The elder Bundy was among the few early risers. He’d wake up at 5 a.m., and would read the Book of Mormon quietly on his bed.
“Pretty much others left them alone,” Stickler said.
Bundy often spoke with his wife, Carol, on the phone. One time, Stickler recalled, Bundy was talking to his son-in-law, who’s helping out at the family ranch, instructing him how to fix a broken water pipe.
Cliven Bundy told Stickler that he had no worries except for his sons when his plane touched down at Portland International Airport on Feb. 10, 2016.
He had come to visit Ammon and Ryan Bundy, both in jail in downtown Portland after their arrests in the armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Oregon. Cliven Bundy had heard Ryan had been wounded and hoped to see him.
Investigators believe Ryan Bundy has a “metallic object” in his shoulder from when officers fired into occupation spokesman Robert “LaVoy” Finicum’s truck as he sped away from a police stop. Ryan Bundy was in the back seat.
Cliven Bundy got bumped from his first flight and didn’t know why. He was placed on a later flight. FBI agents were waiting for him at the airport.
“He didn’t see it coming at all,” Stickler said. “He had felt like the whole thing in Bunkerville had passed.”
‘LOOK WHAT I STARTED’
Earlier this spring, when supporters camped outside the Nevada detention center in tents in protest of conditions the Bundys faced inside, Cliven Bundy and Stickler weren’t sure what was going on.
The institution suddenly went into a panic mode, with inmates ordered to keep their TVs off and visits halted for about two weeks. Corrections officers let it be known that the Bundys were at fault for the increased security, Stickler said.
One night, Bundy and Stickler saw fireworks shooting off outside, he said.
“Look what I started,” Cliven Bundy remarked to Stickler. “He said, ‘You know, 20 years ago, I decided to stand up to the federal government. I’m still surprised many people care about this,’ ” Stickler recalled.
Cliven Bundy regularly ate his meals at a table in the unit with Mel and Davey Bundy. Two other inmates would share their food with Cliven Bundy, often making their own dinners from left-over scraps, Top Ramen and meat bought in the commissary.
The detention center, filled with drug smugglers and bank robbers, could get extremely noisy and irritating, Stickler said. Through it all, Cliven Bundy remained calm. “He was even-keeled, and polite and kind to everyone,” he said.
As he shared his personal story, Bundy would draw rudimentary maps or sketches with a pencil and pad to help Stickler understand what he was describing. Though he has little education, he has a tremendous memory, often quoting passages from the Constitution, Stickler said.
When Stickler pressed if he regretted any of what he’s done or would consider a plea deal, Bundy “got a little uppity,” he remembered.
“I raised my sons to be strong and independent and follow the Constitution,” Bundy told him. “Now’s not the time to do otherwise.”
At the same time, Bundy can’t help but worry about the future, especially whether his sons will be able to be fathers again to their children, Stickler said.
Still, Bundy has hope: Stickler said: “He recognizes that if convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison. He prays and believes that can’t happen, though. He stands with a conviction that this is much bigger than the Bundys.”
Stickler, 57, of northern Nevada, was in court last week and plans to attend Cliven Bundy’s trial. He knows what it’s like to go to trial. A federal jury found him guilty in March 2014 of theft of public money, ruling he pocketed $200,000 from a $500,000 federal grant awarded to his Faith Based Solutions company in Reno. The money was supposed to be distributed to other nonprofit groups. Stickler’s business taught other nonprofit groups how to apply for federal grants.
He also pleaded guilty in a separate federal case for failing to pay taxes, and has a felony conviction from 1993.
He’s completed his book and expects to publish it in December. He said he’s sent pages to Cliven Bundy to read and edit. Carol Bundy confirmed that her husband agreed to let Stickler write his story, but said her husband hadn’t reviewed a final draft.
Stickler, who until now wrote Christian books, plans to ship a copy to Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, as well as to President Donald J. Trump.
But Stickler said he won’t be able to send the finished product to Bundy. The jails won’t allow hardcover books behind bars.

Video: Drone footage filmed by the FBI’s fake documentary crew
Ryan Bundy seemed uneasy as he settled into a white leather chair in a private suite at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. As the eldest son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who had become a national figure for his armed standoff with U.S. government agents in April 2014, Ryan had quite a story to tell.
Eight months had passed since Cliven and hundreds of supporters, including heavily armed militia members, faced off against the federal government in a sandy wash under a highway overpass in the Mojave Desert. Now, here in the comforts of the Bellagio, six documentary filmmakers trained bright lights and high-definition cameras on Ryan. They wanted to ask about the standoff. Wearing a cowboy hat, Ryan fidgeted before the cameras. He had told this story before; that wasn’t the reason for his nerves. After all, the Bundy confrontation made national news after armed agents with the Bureau of Land Management seized the Bundy family’s cattle following a trespassing dispute and the accumulation of more than $1 million in unpaid grazing fees. But the Bundys, aided by their armed supporters, beat back the government, forcing agents to release the cattle and retreat.
Images of armed Bundy supporters with high-powered rifles taking on outgunned BLM agents circulated widely on social media. As a result, the Bundys became a household name, lionized by the right as champions of individual liberty and vilified by the left as anti-government extremists.
But something seemed off to Ryan about this interview in the Bellagio. While the family’s newfound fame had attracted fresh supporters to their cause, it had also inspired suspicion. With a federal investigation looming, who among these new faces could they really trust?
Among the more recent figures in the Bundy orbit was this mysterious documentary film crew. The director, Charles Johnson, was middle-aged, with a silver goatee, slicked-back hair, and a thick southern accent. His assistant, who identified herself as Anna, was tall and blond. A website for their company, Longbow Productions, listed an address in Nashville, Tennessee, but the Bundys could find no previous examples of their work.
