Now, watch me piss almost everyone off in 3, 2, ...
http://www.idahostatesman.com/latest-…/article150120847.html
This article confirms what I have been saying for about a year. Congress, the DOJ, and the Judiciary are an Axis of Tyranny who, intentionally or not, do not act to secure the blessings of liberty in accordance with why Government is even instituted among man.
Let me piss off conservatives first.
Wake up people. This administration in DC is too distracted with the enormity of the Federal Government to be able to pause, do the right thing, and reign this problem in. DC is full of career political elitists that exists to preserve their own way of life. Not all of them, but most of them. Donald Trump is not going to do mid-term pardons for anyone. His brash character (that's not a criticism) keeps him wading in enough controversy to keep him plenty busy.
Jeff Sessions just told me everything I need to know about him. He believes that US Attorney's have an obligation to relentlessly pursue criminal charges against "the vast majority of suspects". This isn't intended to be a policy that moves toward balancing correction with incarceration for serious crimes. It is damn near borderline fascism that paves a road to a police state.
Think that's harsh? Ask Joe Robertson in Montana what happens...
WHEN YOU BUILD A POND ON YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY TO HEDGE AGAINST FIRE AND WATER HORSES... know where that guy is? FEDERAL PRISON. Oh, and he's 80 years old. And a veteran of the US Navy.
Gov't says he polluted downstream waters. I didn't see anyone go to jail over that toxin spill in Colorado a few years ago, did you?
Both sides of the aisle are the problem. Only a revolution will drain the swamp at this point. Since the Gov't loves to twist what you say in an indictment: I'll clarify that revolution is not a singular avenue to change that exclusively involves violence. Revolution begins in the hearts and minds of people. There are many ways to revolt. I will do it at the ballot box. I will do it with my voice... on the street, in public, online, and in my personal conversations. I am content to resist within the rule of law and vigorously champion natural rights and the pursuit of liberty.
My left leaning friends, your turn.
Sessions essentially props up the argument of the Gov't in the first Bundy Ranch trial, that essentially a Federal Agent can act with near impunity so long as no one dies and they are acting "within the scope of their duties". I guess that applies to the asshole who took the safety off of his .308 and started taking tension out of the trigger, acting with the intent to kill Eric J. Parker, because he erroneously perceived that Parker had pointed a weapon from the bridge he was standing on. That narrative crashed and burned in cross examination, when not a shred of video evidence showed what that agent claimed to have perceived. No worries though, he was acting within the scope of his employment.
Gloria Navarro (Chief "Judge", District of NV) proffers a policy that defines assault as occurring a law enforcement official feeling threatened by an otherwise lawfully carried firearm in plain sight. I don't even need to address that, the abject absurdity of the idea shines through any need of explanation.
Freedom is an illusion for those who either can't or choose not to see the cage that the Gov't has erected around us. I know people sitting in jail, right now, who have been convicted of no crimes, and have been there since 03 March 2016. Let me give you the 10K foot overview: citizens show up to protest, the Gov't threatens to kill them, almost 2 dozen go to jail. I know, you've seen the viral pics of a man laying prone on a bridge, and you think "that's out of control". OK... they reasonably feared for grave bodily injury or death and postured to defend women and children holding signs. I don't see how that can be criminalized given the circumstances, but that's just me.
Riddle me this, lover of the Gov't... Todd Engel took a picture of people pointing weapons at him, briefly crouched down behind a jersey barrier on a bridge, then ran over to two NHP troopers to tell them what he could see. He stayed there for over an hour. Pending appeal, he is guilty of interstate travel in aid of extortion and obstruction of the due administration of justice.
Then there's Ricky. He drove over to the protest with several hundred other people... stood on a bridge with his damned arms crossed for two hours, barely moved. But... because he is in a three-man militia and sent an e-mail, he is looking at life in prison. Luckily, people like Jeff Session advocate taking this very dangerous criminal off the streets.
How about Micah? This guy traveled from Arizona, attended a rally, and then observed the protest by sitting on his ass with knees tucked into his chest on a steep-slope bridge skirt. He's accused of taking an elevated, tactical position for the purpose of threatening Federal Officers. He sat and watched. But, he was there in camouflage... so send him to jail.
Joe... I've seen pictures of him at the protest with his damn hands straight up in the air. Nothing violent there. Oh, he did communicate by e-mail with some people about the incident, but lock his ass up.
Steve... salt of the earth guy who loves his family and friends. Crouched down behind a jersey barrier on a bridge after someone pointed out that there were snipers glassing protesters. He was armed to the teeth, ready to strike, right? Nope. His lawfully possessed weapon lay leaned against a jersey barrier while he looked at his potential murders through binoculars. Lock his ass up!
Dave... wandered into a "closure area" to see if his dad's cattle were being mistreated. A sniper and spotter observed from a hill, and the federal agency (who had no arrest power), beat him and detained him for as long as they legally could; he just wanted to keep the Gov't accountable to the public. Lock his ass up! Forever!
Ryan... got a phone call from BLM Agent Mike Johnson, who basically said, "we are here to round up all of your families cows and put you out of business, that's cool, right?". Ryan's (arguably natural) response? "Good luck boys, but I'd suggest you just go home". Lock his ass up! Destroy the key.
Pete... Journalist. traveled from OH to NV to cover a breaking story. Part of his brand is an unapologetic assertiveness that digs for the part of a story that isn't readily apparent. His video covered BLM Agents outright abusing protesters. He suggested that Americans who wanted to could come to Nevada to protest. We can't have that shit, now can we? Put him in hole and forget about him.
All of these men face life in prison. Six have gone to trial. the corrupt, amoral, social degenerate that was instrumental in securing an indictment shockingly didn't testify when his actions caught up to him and he became a liability for the Gov't... so much for the right to face your accuser. If you do nothing else, google "Dan Love". Here... I'll do it for you. Just follow this link: ( https://goo.gl/i7ilJJ )
^^^ This ^^^ is what happens when the DOJ aggressively pursues the most serious possible charges. The Judiciary colludes and Congressional statutes are wielded in such a way as to evince an underlying element of brutality. The "Department of Justice" is a misnomer of gargantuan proportions, second only to that stretch of I-78 west of Phila being called the Schuylkill "Expressway".
Democrat or Republican, the problem is still the same; one just gets us to the inevitable long-term outcome of a police state quicker than the other.
We stand together or we'll hang separately.
- I stand with the Bundys.
- I stand with Pete Santilli.
- I stand with my brothers from Idaho. I'll never stop fighting for them.
- I stand with Micah McGuire.
- I stand with Jason Patrick.
- I stand with Joe Robertson.
- I stand with most of these defendants.
... and I stand FOR LaVoy. I'd stand WITH him but OSP shot him three times in the back after the FBI put two rounds through his truck while his hands were in the air. So there's that...
But hey, jump on the Sessions bandwagon and keep this shit going; to the peril of Liberty.
*****
If you made it this far... we are soon going to roll out an initiative to make sure that these political prisoners have access to basic rights and needs, as much as we are able to. It will take all of us, but with all of all us doing just a little bit, we can make all the difference in the world. We refuse to look at them and say we didn't try. This endeavor will be narrowly focused on directly benefiting inmates, but it will champion other avenues of support.
Right now you can pledge support for people sitting in a cage like Ammon Bundy did for 13 hours.
In a few short weeks a silent auction will help support Andrea Parker's return to Las Vegas, for another trial.
Or, if you can't contribute financially, you could write any of these guys a letter. Letters are the fabric of morale. For the cost of an envelope, sheet of paper, and a stamp... (less than $1.00), you can uplift an inmate and keep them mentally healthy.
Do something.
The Gov't is using your tax dollars, to the tunes of hundreds of millions, to do exactly what Jeff Sessions wants. It's time to show them that we will not allow them to make an example of our own. We need to show the Gov't that this inquest is an exercise in futility.
It will take all of us; but we are capable.
Just do something...

The Unquestioned Power of a Federal Judge - Apathy and ignorance are the tyrants best friends.
The Unquestioned Power of a Federal Judge
APATHY AND IGNORANCE ARE THE TYRANT’S BEST FRIENDS.
May 13, 2017 Constitution, Featured, Freedom of the Press, Opinion, US
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...7/05/power.jpg
THUS SAITH THE LORD:
THE UNQUESTIONED POWER OF A FEDERAL JUDGE
by Loren Edward Pearce
When a prophet wanted the people to know that he was speaking with divine authority and that his words were to be unquestioningly obeyed, he would use the words, “Thus saith the Lord”, indicating that his words came from a higher source, and would be enforced by mortal agents of that deity. These words triggered immediate compliance and performance.
“And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.” Exodus 32:27
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...wn-150x150.jpg
THE ROYAL WE
In a similar manner, federal judges, when issuing an order, never speak in the first person, but speak in the third person, the Court. It is similar to the Royal We, the language style of royalty in Europe wherein the King or Queen never referred to themselves in the first person but in the third person, inferring that “We” included divine approval in company with God.
Attorneys and the parties before “the Bench” are expected to address “the Court” and not refer to Judge by name. In fact, on numerous occasions, Judge Navarro of Nevada, in rendering a decision, would say, “the Court finds….”, not “I find…”
While there is no conclusive evidence that the word Court was meant to substitute for the word Lord, there is plausible reason to believe that it evolved from similar thought patterns. Judges in ancient Israel were divinely appointed and their edicts were thought to reflect the word of God. Lord is a common designation for judges in Great Britain. Therefore, it is reasonable to believe that the judge was expected to make decisions under a near godlike authority, thereby making their decisions difficult to challenge.
When the federal judges made the decision to arrest and to incarcerate the several Bundy, et. al. defendants for the Oregon and Nevada trials, they did so under the power of their discretion as a judge. Broad discretion is granted to judges. The discretion of a judge to take action is widely held to be difficult to overturn unless there is a clear showing of egregious error.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...es-223x300.jpg
Judge Robert Jones
Appellate courts, consisting of former trial judges from lower courts, tend to protect each other in this Royal hierarchy of judges, and are reluctant to reverse a judge’s decision unless that judge has fallen out of favor with “the Team”.
Judge Robert Clive Jones, who presided over the Hage ranch case in which the BLM sought to bully the Hage’s into submitting to their authority, was punished by the Ninth Circuit for daring to take on a member of the federal team, the BLM.
THE ROYAL HIERCHY OF LOWER AND HIGHER FEDERAL COURTS HAVE EACH OTHER’S BACKS
A review of the government’s Bundy, et. al. case in recommending pretrial detention as provided for in the Bail Reform Act of 1984, provided scanty and insufficient evidence to support a claim that the Bundy, et. al. defendants were
1) flight risks and
2) a danger to society.
However, lacking clear and convincing evidence to justify pre-trial detention, the judge, armed with near unlimited authority, merely needed to declare something like this:
“The Court finds that (insert name) is likely to be a flight risk and that there is clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions can reasonably assure that he will not be a danger to society. Therefore, the Court orders detention of (insert name) pending trial. It is so ordered, (name of judge)”
Unfortunately, the defendants did not appeal the judge’s decision to imprison them pre-trial and pre-conviction. However, had they appealed, the panel of judges on the Ninth Circuit appellate court, most likely would have affirmed the lower judge’s decision, as they tend to have each other’s backs, especially when it involves a group of people who are an intelligent and lawful threat to the federal team (judge, prosecutors, BLM employees, federal law enforcement).
MAN WHO BEHEADED 5 YEAR OLD SON IS ALLOWED SUPERVISED RELEASE
In a shocking display of inconsistency and upside down, twisted logic, the court recently decided to release a man who beheaded his 5 year old son, based on the recommendation of court psychiatrists that he could enjoy release from prison under specified conditions. Disregarding the heinous nature of his crime and the potential for future dangerousness, the court decided to err on the side of liberty and granted him release under close supervision.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...dy-300x200.jpg
Davey Bundy
Contrast that decision to the decision to not release Dave Bundy who had hundreds of favorable testimonies from friends and associates, and whose sheriff offered to take full responsibility in guaranteeing that he did not flee nor do anything dangerous. Known as a wonderful family man and a pillar of the community, Dave Bundy was as far from being dangerous as anyone can be. The court laughed off the sheriff’s offer and proceeded with the imprisonment of Dave Bundy who now has over 470 days of prison time without being found guilty.
Did I mention that Dave Bundy never beheaded his son?
FEDERAL JUDGE OMNIPOTENCE
A Hollywood or a fiction writer could not have made up something so fantastic as the true case of Judge Royal (his real name) Furgeson versus Jeff Baron.
Judge Ferguson declared, “I have the full force of the Navy, Army [and] Marines behind me. . . You are a fool, a fool, a fool to screw with a federal judge, and if you don’t understand that, I can make you understand it.”
What is most terrifying, is that Ferguson is correct. He does have the full faith and credit of the federal government behind him, enforced by all the assets and resources, including military (if necessary), of the federal government.
The courts, in collusion with congress, have given themselves unprecedented powers not even seen in the days of ancient Egypt or ancient Rome, given that the physical powers of the USA to impose its will on others far exceeds that of any government or dictatorship that has previously existed.
The above article points out that judges have immunity from the consequences of their abuse of discretion, never having to pay, through money or prison, for their abuse of discretion unless it involves violation of criminal code. Even then, the immunity from prosecution is an almost impenetrable barrier.
Professor Ben Stein recently commented to Fox News that Americans are becoming powerless against abuse of power by Stalinist, liberal judges who are “dictators in black robes.”
“The judiciary is out of control, not bound by anything except themselves.” said Stein.“Judges don’t have to be bound by the Constitution or the law.”
Therefore, the scales weigh heavily in favor of federal judges to have near Stalinist like powers in the courts and little fear of the consequences for their actions.
GARY HUNT VERSUS THE OMNIPOTENT POWER OF FEDERAL JUDGE ANNA BROWN
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...nt-150x150.jpg
Gary Hunt (photo credit: Redoubt News)
When Gary Hunt, received a cease and desist order from Anna Brown in the Oregon district and a subsequent order to appear at a show cause hearing in her Oregon District court, Gary Hunt rightfully and correctly chose not to acknowledge jurisdiction over his body given that Judge Anna Brown does not have jurisdiction in California where Gary Hunt resides.
Additionally, Brown does not have jurisdiction over the subject matter given that Hunt was not named as a party in the protective order issued by Brown. Hunt, a self taught student of the law and of the constitution, with a specialty in the freedom of the press, knew that there was an abundance of common law (stare decisis) which supports his position.
However, did jurisdiction really matter to Brown? Employing the same arrogance as Ferguson in the Baron case, Brown knew two things:
- The U.S. Marshalls, FBI and any other federal law enforcement, would unquestionably obey her order to arrest Gary Hunt, all she had to do was issue it, and
- That immunity for her from any error or abuse of discretion was nearly absolute.
Consequently, Brown dispatched the Marshals to arrest Hunt resulting in 7 days of prison, and all the horrors that come with prison (bad food, bad smells, bad company, mean staff, control of phones by prison gangs, sexual abuse, diesel therapy, loss of privacy and much more).
It is this writer’s opinion that the majority of the 320 million Americans are ignorant and indifferent as to how bad prison life is which in turn gives judges and prisons so much autonomy to commit atrocities.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u.../05/apathy.jpg
IF YOU ARE NOT TERRIFIED, YOU SHOULD BE
The article cited above, correctly states, “What happened to Baron, can happen to anyone”. This writer adds, what happened to the Bundys and the other defendants, what happened to the Hammonds, Joe Robertson and what has happened to thousands of other wrongfully imprisoned victims of federal courts, can happen to anyone.
After reading this article, you should begin calling your elected officials. Make an appointment to discuss an action plan for reigning in the near absolute power of the federal judges. Join other like minded groups to get this changed. Prepare model legislation and hand it to your congressional representative for introduction at the next legislative session. Grade them on their performance and then make that grade go viral.
It was ignorance and apathy by the populace that led to the rise of Hitler and Stalin. Apathy and ignorance are the tyrant’s best friends.

It's a matter of logic. Let's say for an instant that you are occupying the office of 'US CITIZEN'. That office is de facto until proven to be de jure. The conversion of de facto to de jure is a matter of 1) an oath and 2) a bond and 3) a notice to the public. Even a naturalized US CITIZEN is defacto even though he might have a court certificate until he/she provides these actions.
So now most everyone is de facto and everyone presumes you are one (mostly for tax purposes). How do you prove you are not? One action that makes it clear that you are not is to make a presumption that you are and investigate peaceful actions you might take while holding this office. One such action (once you have figured out who is making the accusation) is to presume THEY are a US CITIZEN and then give 'em a quit claim deed to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500. The zip code is very important because you wouldn't want to give up a claim to the real residence but the fictional one best left behind 'cause you aren't going to be seeing any rent income coming from that residence any time soon.
[I wouldn't try giving the quit claim to any foreign powers though ... the notoriety might be fatal]
The reason this would work is because a US CITIZEN is the landlord, the baron, the slum lord.
And part of the de facto/de jure principle is that you cannot be even de facto in an office that doesn't exist. Therefore your accuser has made a determination that the office DOES in fact exist and that YOU are the occupant. The PLACE you are occupying is the residence you plan on quit claiming.
Status can be achieved in several ways. Levant et couchant is to bed down the night and spot the morning sun. Aghenhine is a status achieved first by being a stranger and spending the night, the second night you spend as a guest and the third night (and thereafter) you are aghenhine (or ... a member of the household/manor). Aghenhine is a trust position and it also means the manor is going to be responsible for your actions.
No legal advice intended in the above discussion. Just some food for thought when your brain becomes less entangled with issues of survival.

Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
Deb Jordan pens new article on the antics of the prosecution re more allegations of cover-up of Special Agent Dan Love misconduct
BUNDY RANCH: Prosecutors Face More Allegations In Cover-up Of BLM Agent Dan Love Misconduct
petesantillishow 05/19/2017 News
– Deb Jordan Las Vegas, Nevada #GoogleDanLove
BLM Special Agent In Charge [SAC] Daniel P. Love’s misconduct, hangs over the heads of Nevada Prosecutors like a rain cloud that follows them everywhere they go. SAC Love, who has been identified as the agent who was found guilty of misconduct after an investigation by the Inspector General’s Office, may have something else in his closet the Prosecutors kept hidden from the defense.
http://thepetesantillishow.com/wp-co...w-1024x683.jpg
It appears that in November of 2016 the internal affairs office at the BLM opened their own investigation on Mr. Love.
According to records, a memorandum from The US Department of The Interior dated November 2nd, 2016 and signed by the BLM Director of Law Enforcement Security Salvatore R. Lauro , was issued to SAC Love informing him of his immediate suspension from duty and directing him to turn in his uniforms, badges, and government issued firearms. Love was also stripped of his Law Enforcement Authority.
The suspended BLM Special Agent In Charge was being investigated internally for two extremely heinous acts.
The first offense on record was, that on more than one occasion Love ordered a subordinate to drive a government issued vehicle to run personal errands for him. There have been some outside reports claiming the subordinate found ancient indian artifacts in Love’s vehicle during this process, but the most egregious allegation was still to come.
After a raid on the Redd Family of Blanding, Utah, that also involved several other collectors of ancient indian artifacts in the surrounding area, Love demanded the Utah Department of The Interior Evidence Custodian to retrieve several of the artifacts from the evidence room so he could display them on his desk. The internal investigation also states that Love gave at least several BLM Agents and one private contractor “Moqui Marbles” to keep as a trophy after the 2006 raid he and FBI Special Agent Greg Bretzing called, Operation Cerberus.
http://thepetesantillishow.com/wp-co...K1xChCHRA.jpeg
Funeral Of Dr. James Redd
This act was not only unlawful, but some would say a direct indication to how dark the soul of Daniel P. Love really is. Dr. James Redd, after being brutally assaulted and interrogated for hours by Daniel Paul Love, took his own life, as did the informant Ted Gardiner – who set the sting into motion; One other victim also killed himself after the highly ridiculed militarized Operation Cerberus. Many Utah residents and elected officials still accuse Dan Love of bullying Dr. James Redd to death.
Odd that Agents Love and Bretzing chose to call their sting “Operation Cerberus after a successful Hitler directive during World War II” in which three trapped German Warships in the English Channel successfully out-thought and out-manuverd the English to get away. The German military would later call Operation Cerberus a “tactical victory (but) a strategic defeat” a ominous quote that would dictate public perception of Daniel P. Love and Greg Bretzing’s careers, for years to come.
According to a letter penned by Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz to the Office of The Inspector General, there are more questions raised by their investigation of SAC Love than answered. http://thepetesantillishow.com/wp-co...tz-300x200.jpg
The letter indicates that Love not only threatened people in his office while demanding they lie during the investigation, but he also had an employee shred and destroy untold amounts of evidence in the form of documents and hard-drives containing internal emails the day before a congressional inquiry was to begin scrutinizing the office Love had now become in charge of. BLM Director Neil Kornze is suspected of giving Agent Love the “heads-up” before that investigation could take place, prompting him to destroy the most critical documents the IGO was looking for. During the first trial for Bundy co-defendants, Toni Ziminski, the communications director for the Bundy cattle confiscation, admitted she shredded documents at the compound and somehow lost vital recorded records of radio transmissions because somehow the hard drive that ran the recording device had mysteriously come unplugged. Ziminski was never asked if Dan Love had told her to shred vital documents, nor was she asked if Dan Love had asked her to unplug the hard-drive. Both would have been fair questions had the defense known Daniel P. Love had given that order before.
The United States Government has a long history of “covering up” for their Special Agent in Charge Daniel P. Love from 2006 to date, and that fact could not be made any clearer than by what is NOT being allowed to be entered as evidence, and who is NOT allowed to be called to the stand, in the Case of USA vs Cliven Bundy et al —
Former Secret Service Agent Rand Stover turned BLM Agent, took the stand in early February during what the Press has dubbed “The Bundy Ranch Trials” in a feeble attempt to begin what would be a long line of BLM and FBI agents who ineffectively tried to become, “the Prosecution and Judge approved” stymied voice of Daniel P. Love. Because the Prosecution had hidden the facts surrounding the OIG investigation and pending Congressional inquiry, the defense was ill prepared to ask Agent Stover whether or not he too was involved in the investigations.
The record reflects Agent Stover was a vital participant in the scheme to help Dan Love insure the employment of a former US Marshal and their friend, Mark Jucha, to the BLM. Stover was in charge of the interviewing process that allowed only the top 10 applicants to interview for the job; Jucha was not among the top 10. Love, with help from Stover, suspended the rules of hiring to include the top 30 applicants and made it possible for Jucha to be interviewed and hired over those who were better qualified for the job. Stover would later admit that he followed the order of Daniel P. Love to expand the interview process to include Mark Jucha because after all, “Love was the Special Agent in Charge” and it was his department.
Since the Bundy Ranch trial began prosecutors and Judge Gloria Navarro have been accused of at least five incidents of prosecutorial misconduct for with-holding evidence that resulted in the Jury not hearing the facts surrounding the case. Two of those accusations directly involve the cover-up of the investigation of The Inspector General, and the United States Congress inquiry into the misconduct of Daniel P. Love, to which he was eventually found guilty. It is still unclear exactly what the Congressional investigation was for.
During the trial the revelation that co-defendant Gregory Burleson had once been a paid FBI informant, and that two of his former handlers had taken the stand to testify for the prosecution, set off an explosion for motions to dismiss the case based on the fact Burleson and his attorney Terrance Jackson, had been allowed to attend meetings with other c0-defendants including Cliven Bundy himself, where case strategy had been discussed. The motions were denied.
http://thepetesantillishow.com/wp-co...r-1024x512.jpgFBI Agent Charles Johnson
In a recent article by the intercept.com, reporting on a story out of Glendale, Colorado, the public was informed that FBI undercover agent “Charles Johnson” was arrested for impersonating a private investigator. Johnson alleged during his interrogation by Glendale Police, that he had been hired by a journalist to question community officials and the owner of a piece of property the town needed to develop a entertainment district. Locals said they considered the agents line of questioning harassing, as often times he would show up late at night without warning to press hard for information. After his arrest “Agent Johnson” was documented as having three separate I.D.’s on his person that indicated he was a resident in three different States, one of which was an address in Nashville Tennessee. One business card he had in his possession bearing his name, was that of the known fake media/documentary company called “Long Bow Productions” used by the FBI to infiltrate and record the Bundy family and other participants during the protest in 2014. During the first trial concerning USA vs Cliven Bundy et al, he took the stand under the assumed name “Charles Johnson” to testify for the government against defendants who had no clue he was under investigation in Colorado for once again pretending to be something he was not. In a must hear interview with Peter Boyles, the writer of the article featured on The Intercept, journalist Trevor Aaronson said he had contacted the FBI and the DOJ to enquire as to whether or not they had informed attorney’s about the information on the Charles Johnson’s arrest – The FBI never returned his call.
To date the BLM, the OIG, and Daniel P. Love admit there have been eight separate investigations by the OIG into Love’s conduct since Bundy Ranch, with only one of those investigations being made public.
Defendants in the Bundy case would like to know what information initiated those investigations, and if any of those investigations included his misconduct during the Bundy Ranch cattle confiscation and subsequent misconduct during the protest.
It will also be interesting to know what other information the prosecution has hidden under their skirts that should by all that is decent, require the Attorney General Jeff Sessions to dismiss this case.

Pete Santilli is the Cincinnati talk show host/journalist who traveled to Bunkerville, Nevada to cover the story of Cliven Bundy and the fact the Bureau Of Land Management had surrounded his family with over 200 armed Federal Agents. These armed agents were violating civil-rights and Pete Santilli caught them on video. That video was aired by Fox News the following day and a Nation responded. Pete still holds it to be true that the BLM was poised to kill the Bundy family and it was his duty as a journalist to expose that truth. Pete went to Bundy Ranch with nothing more than an an iPad and determination to tell the truth.

Pete Santilli faces life in prison because he dared criticize the United States Government and the henchmen authorized to brutalize the Bundy Family.
This past September 6th, 2016 a case was dismissed against Pete in Oregon after the Prosecution said the Government lacked the evidence to prove the FBI’s claim he acted outside his role as a journalist while reporting on the attempted Adverse Possession of The Malheur Wildlife Refuge located in Harney County Oregon. Pete spent 8 months in jail awaiting that trial. He now awaits trial in Nevada and has been in jail for almost two years.

Trials and Protests – Update from Pahrump!
PROSECUTORS ARE ASKING FOR “TERRORISM” ENHANCEMENTS AT SENTENCING FOR TODD ENGEL.

Trials and Protests – Update from Pahrump!
By Shari Dovale and John Lamb
Lots of news coming out of Nevada this week.
The first tier of Bunkerville defendants are awaiting a status hearing next week, mostly for motions and other items related to the re-trial of their case.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...l1-150x150.jpg
Todd Engel (photo: Facebook)
The prosecutors have said that they will not be charging Todd Engel or Greg Burleson again on the charges the jury deadlocked over. Each was found guilty on lesser charges and are scheduled for sentencing in July.
Engel was found guilty of two charges and the Prosecutors are asking for “Terrorism” enhancements for his sentencing. He is now facing a possible 30 years in prison, due to these enhancements
Burleson was found guilty of 8 out of 10 possible charges and faces a total of 57 years in prison. The prosecutors are not asking for the same terrorism enhancements against Burleson.
The remaining four defendants will be re-tried beginning June 26, 2017. The second tier defendants, which include Cliven Bundy, will not begin their trial until 30 days after this one is completed. The trial is expected to take up to another couple of months, so the second trial is not expected before September at the earliest, more likely October or November.
This will put the trial of the third tier defendants out until next Spring. Most of these defendants have been in custody over 470 days now. This will put their pre-trial incarceration to 2 years, in most cases.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...us-150x150.jpg
Jerry DelemusJerry Delemus was one of the first defendants to reach a plea arrangement with the government. Based on reports, he was coerced into making the agreement as his friends and family were targeted for arrest if he did not agree.
As soon as the first Oregon trial ended in October 2016, Delemus filed for a hearing to have his plea changed. He has waited for months to get his hearing.
Judge Gloria Navarro has finally ruled that Delemus will not receive a hearing and has scheduled him for sentencing later this month.
Reports are surfacing that Blaine Cooper is expected to testify against all of the defendants in Nevada. Cooper has stated that he will cooperate in order to get a reduced sentence for himself. Prosecutors have suggested a six year sentence for Cooper.

Camp Liberty is holding strong despite the ferocious winds that prevail. They have raised, at last count, over $25,000 for the defense of Ammon Bundy. They continue to protest, and are garnering support from the local community.
Though they had originally set up camp on the roadside across from the Pahrump Detention facility, and had been there for couple of weeks, the acting under-sheriff paid them a visit this week. Though he was polite about his message, he was very clear that they had 24 hours to get a permit or leave, as they now faced trespassing charges.
A local Patriot came to their aid and gave them leave to camp on their property, which is actually a better location right behind the Facility. They have set up and been supplied with all the food they can eat. The only thing they might be needing is basic camping supplies for those that did not bring enough, such as sleeping bags and tents. Tarps would also be nice to use as wind breaks.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...nd-300x250.jpg
But the government keeps trying to throw curve balls at the protesters. Earlier this week, Brand Thornton attempted to visit the prisoners in the facility. Many of you may remember that Judge Anna Brown in Oregon has dubbed him “Mr. Shofar”.
Thorton had his shofar with him when the guards decided it was a dangerous weapon, and even called it a bow-and-arrow. A SWAT team surrounded him and he has now been banned from the facility completely.
CoreCivic (formerly known as CCA) is a privately contracted company to run the Southern Nevada Detention Facility in Pahrump, as well as other facilities. This facility is strictly a holding place for those that have not been to trial, or not been sentenced. From here, the prisoners get moved to permanent locations.
It must be considered low security as many of the “guards” are only armed with batons and pepper spray. There are very few guards with firearms.
However,these glorified rent-a-cops have allowed power to take them over, They use this power against prisoners, and now the protesters.
They have filed multiple false reports of protesters violating their space. Violations that include (falsely) that protesters stepped across the boundary lines and onto prison property, or that protesters slapped a moving prison bus. These reports are going nowhere, as it has been proven by video that they are false. Yet, the guards continue to attempt heartache with more reports.
The protesters will not give up easily though. For now they are camped behind the prison, making daily treks around the compound in their “Jericho March.”
They continue to raise money and see support from the local residents. The can receive mail from the postmaster, addressed to:
Camp Liberty
1776 East Mesquite Avenue
Pahrump, NV 89048
They are accepting 2 types of donations. First for the defense of the prisoners, and second for the continued protest. They do not need much for their stand outside the prison, however, they do provide transportation help to others that would like to come and be a part of the protest.

Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
Loren Pearce disects left leaning PBS's Frontline production of "American Patriot" a documentary inside the Malhuer reserve. Not surprisingly for PBS, they continue to promote the governments narrative while leaving out important details . . .
The Effrontery of Frontline “AMERICAN PATRIOT”
FRONTLINE MOVES ALONG ITS WHEELS LUBRICATED BY FEDERAL FUNDING, SUPPORTING THEIR SPONSOR’S AGENDA.
May 18, 2017 BLM, FBI, Featured, Media Bias 1

Confronting the Effrontery of the Frontline Report:
“AMERICAN PATRIOT”
by Loren Edward Pearce“For the Bundy family, the wheels of justice had finally started to turn.”
~From the Frontline transcript.
Since airing on May 16, 2017, the Frontline report, American Patriot, the reviews among the Bundy supporters include “had to turn it off”, “made me want to vomit”, “broadcast porn”, “made me sick, literally” and those were the kinder ones. Angie Huntington Bundy, wife of Ryan Bundy, commented that Frontline used the sealed discovery from the trial so it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how Frontline obtained information favorable to the government narrative.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...rd-150x150.jpgPUTTING BIG BIRD OUT OF WORK
For many people, Frontline is the gold standard of objective and unbiased investigative journalism.
Frontline cannot help but be biased, given the source of its funding, which includes a big chunk of financial support from the federal government. During the presidential debates between Romney and Obama, the comment was made by Romney that government had no legitimate purpose to be funding PBS and that he would make cuts to PBS including one of his favorite characters, Big Bird on Sesame Street, rather than borrow more money from China. Peeling away the humor, the dark side to this is that government, through its financial clout, has huge leverage over what PBS produces.
What is the main theme of the Bundy position? Federal government over reach, federal government abuses, federal government violations of the original intent of the constitution. Everything that the Bundys stand for are in direct opposition to one of the main supporters of PBS. The federal team (including Big Bird) have a vested interest in a big, federal government including the 12,000 BLM employees and their 100’s of thousands of brothers and sisters in the alphabet soup of federal agencies.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...un-300x226.jpg
Like a blind person seeing the sun for the first time, a cursory reading of the Federalist papers brilliantly displays the obvious departure from what the Founders had in mind, including the most ardent advocate of centralized government of that time, and what we have today. So vastly different is the federal government today from what the Founders envisioned, that those who want to return to an originalist view of the constitution, like the Bundys, are considered “extremists” and “domestic terrorists”.
The Frontline report on the Bundys, was heavy on the theme of lawlessness and extremism. The good guys (well groomed, polished and official sounding government) versus the Bundys, represented as unhinged, fanatical, misguided threat to the American dream, a dream that included PBS and Big Bird.
THE FIRST CASUALTY OF WAR IS THE TRUTH
Frontline, drawing its name from a wartime analogy, the frontline of battle, implies that to get at the truth, one must be on the frontlines, where the action is. But, it depends on which frontline, the one drawn by the enemy or the one drawn by your sponsors?
There is no such thing as neutral, unbiased, war correspondents. A journalist can report on a controversial subject involving polarized parties, and the journalist will choose sides, the side that most favors the journalist’s own biases and ideologies. It is human nature. The bias is exacerbated by the pressure to conform to their financial supporter’s agenda, in this case, the federal government.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...ng-150x150.jpg
GREG BRETZING’S FATALLY FLAWED FRONTLINE FRAUD
Greg Bretzing, the FBI’s special agent in charge in Oregon at the time, was one of the most quoted in the Frontline report. Ironically, Bretzing, like Ammon Bundy, is a Mormon and both of them had given two years of their lives in voluntary missionary service. Both are clean cut, and well spoken. But, that is where the similarities end.
Bretzing, representing the arch enemy of the Bundys, the unconstitutional part of the federal government, where even the constitutional pedigree of the FBI is challengeable, toed the government line perfectly. Claiming that what Ammon Bundy did was clearly and obviously illegal, Bretzing came across as being “tactically patient” so as to avoid another Waco and Ruby Ridge. However, comments made by Bretzing in describing the shooting of LaVoy Finicum, betray his insincerity in claiming something that appears to be a flat out lie.
Bretzing, while feigning some kind of regret over the death of Finicum (another Mormon), explained that Finicum was repeatedly warned to “stop reaching”, to stop reaching for the left jacket pocket and that after several such warnings, Finicum refused to stop reaching and was shot in justifiable homicide. The key to the government’s justifiable homicide, as cited by Bretzing, is the claim that Finicum was reaching for a gun in his left, inside Denham jacket pocket and was fatally shot after several warnings.
Bretzing’s claims are fatally flawed, claims that an objective Frontline should have been on top of:
- The audio from Shawna Cox’s phone does not pick up any warning orders from law enforcement officers (LEO) before they shot him. However, it did pick up the voice of Finicum as he moved away from the truck. The LEO were within a few feet of Finicum, yet their voices could not be heard, and Finicum’s voice could be heard. If they gave him a chance with warnings, why are their voices not clearly heard?
- The elapsed time between when Finicum exited his truck and then was shot, is so brief as to not allow more than 1 or 2 warnings, if there were any.
- A lethal, high powered bullet came crashing through the roof of the truck and smashed the window where Finicum was standing, his left side parallel to the window. No warning could be heard prior to that lethal shot. The broken window was now open for better audio on Cox’s phone but nothing could be heard except Finicum’s voice and the shots that silenced him.
- The most incriminating fact against Bretzing and the government was the lack of body and dash cam coverage by law enforcement. No radio transmissions have been offered and there is a complete lack of video which goes against everything taught in police academy and in police manuals. The Oregon State Police and the FBI are regular users of these tools, but no video or audio, which is standard operating procedure, has been offered by Bretzing for either the first stop and/or the subsequent road block. Body and dash cams are the officers best friends, unless they want to hide something.
- The proof that the microphone was sufficiently sensitive on Cox’s phone to pick up voices is given when, after all the shooting, the surviving passengers are ordered out of the truck. Then the voices of LEO could be heard loud and clear.
- Evidence has come out that the pistol that Finicum was allegedly reaching for, could have been planted on him by the LEO after his death. While not conclusive, the evidence is compelling enough to warrant further investigation. None of that was mentioned by Frontline.
- In the Bretzing Frontline fraud, he conveniently failed to mention the fact that the FBI special hostage agents at the scene were under investigation for firing unauthorized shots at Finicum and the vehicle, including the roof shot that broke the window, and that there was evidence of a carefully made cover-up by the same FBI agents. With almost a year and half since the shooting, the results of that investigation have yet to be revealed.
The smooth faced, well-groomed, appearance of legitimacy, on the part of government actors, whether in the courtroom by dark suited prosecutors, or by Bretzing of the FBI, hide an obvious disdain for the truth and the need to lie on behalf of the greater good of the team, the federal government team in cooperation with Frontline.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...en-150x150.jpg
RELISHING AND RELYING ON THE IRRELEVANT RACIST COMMENTS BY CLIVEN BUNDY
To further support the federal government narrative, Frontline found it necessary to refer to the alleged racist comments of Cliven Bundy. Playing clips from various mainstream news commentators, Frontline said there was a “stampede away from Cliven Bundy” after he made comments about “the negro”.
One of the most common fallacies in critical thinking, the Red Herring fallacy, is where an opponent in an argument throws out something that is irrelevant, a red herring, in an attempt to distract the audience and make them discard the core argument.
Frontline was guilty of this egregious fallacy of critical thinking by reporting on Cliven’s alleged racism, unrelated to the core argument of BLM’s illegal practices at Bunkerville. Whether Cliven is a racist or not, is not relevant to the bigger issue of federal government unconstitutionality, overreach and abuse. But, the argument of relevancy is only applicable to the federal team if it promotes their agenda.
As one who knows the Bundy family, this writer can definitively say that Cliven Bundy is not a racist. When I was in Bunkerville, I met a black couple who were there to support the Bundys. That couple along with many other black people have been welcomed in the Bundy home. The Bundys are warm and generous people, making all visitors feel welcome, including blacks. To understand Cliven’s comments, one needs to understand the context.
In the Longbow film, Cliven said he has always been an outdoors person, not for recreation but for work. His sons talk about their dad’s work ethic, building many water installations that were later destroyed by the BLM. Cliven values hard work. When Cliven said it may be better to be out picking cotton than sitting on a porch in government housing receiving welfare, he was thinking of himself, that for him it would be a nightmare not to be able to work and to have to be dependent on government for support.
Cliven was not criticizing blacks, he was criticizing the federal government that makes it disproportionately easy for people of color to get welfare. The vast, government managed welfare system is one more example of how the federal government has exceeded its enumerated powers as found in the constitution.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...ve-150x150.jpg
DANIEL P. LOVE, THE LARGE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE FRONTLINE REFUSED TO SEE
The Frontline report, while focusing on Cliven Bundy’s alleged racial comments, failed to mention Dan Love. So conspicuous was the absence of Dan Love in the Frontline report, that it could be compared to Frontline claiming to have finished a 1000 piece puzzle while leaving out several hundred pieces. Dan Love had everything to do with the events of Bunkerville. His role in the events that shaped Bunkerville and its aftermath, was so glaring that it could be argued that his role was even more prominent than Bretzing’s, the darling of the Frontline report.
Dan Love was the special agent in charge of the BLM at Bunkerville. It was Dan Love that orchestrated everything. It was Dan Love who confronted Ammon Bundy and who confronted Pete Santilli, both now in prison, without any verdict of guilt. It was Love’s testimony that was essential for the grand jury indictment. It was Dan Love who ordered the BLM agents to stand their ground, in opposition to orders from local law enforcement for BLM to stand down.
It is Dan Love who is being investigated for ethics and other violations. Those investigations are highly relevant to his credibility as a witness and for the opportunity to impeach his testimony.
But, true to its role in supporting the government narrative, Frontline must have read the order from Nevada federal district judge Gloria Navarro in which she declared that any testimony or contribution by Dan Love to the trial of the defendants, was not relevant. Link To art on Navarro blocking love testimony Such exclusion of Dan Love by both Frontline and Navarro is tantamount to excluding the testimony of law enforcement who confronted Lee Harvey Oswald in the Kennedy assassination.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...ce-150x150.jpg
THE WHEELS OF JUSTICE
In its final display of rampant bias, the Frontline report ends with the words, “For the Bundy family, the wheels of justice had finally started to turn.” The assumption being promoted by Frontline, was that justice was finally being served. Justice is defined as, “fair play, correct, aligned with truth, lack of bias”. The Frontline report is based on a false assumption that the federal team was employing principles of fair play and impartiality. Like a wolf disguised as a sheep, the Frontline report portrays that which is good as being bad and that which is bad as being good.
The wheels are intended to take one to the truth, extracting the truth like a miller’s grinding wheel extracts flour. The wheels go where ever the truth takes them in order to meet the ends of justice.
A more correct comparison would be, “the wheels of Catherine”, also known as breaking wheels where an accused criminal was placed on the wheel and their bones broken. In early courts, an accused’s guilt was often determined by how well they endured the pain or how fast they healed from the test of torture. A presumption of guilt was used by subjecting the accused to torture in an attempt to confirm guilt or in the much less likely event, innocence. It was this horrific practice that led Blackstone and Franklin to declare that a presumption of innocence was the bedrock principle of jurisprudence
In courts today, accused, but not guilty, are placed in prison where they endure torture until they finally confess their guilt through a plea deal. Such is the actual real life experiences of the Bundy family and their supporters, who, just like the victims of the dark ages, must endure pain, humiliation, sexual abuse and denial of constitutional rights such as a Speedy Trial and the right to a presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
Proving that the atrocities of the dark ages are not extinct, Prosecutor Myhre, in a display of Orwellian double speak that would make Orwell blush, openly declared that the government had 5 years to delay trial and still be considered “speedy”. Frontline failed to go there.
Wheels of injustice indeed, wheels that will come off the federal government’s wagon if justice is ever allowed and things as they really are, are exposed. Until then, Frontline moves along its wheels lubricated by Federal funding, supporting their sponsor’s agenda.

Federal employees talked about the “crazies” from across the United States who were coming to Bunkerville to support rancher Cliven Bundy. After corralling Bundy’s free-roaming “trespass” cattle from the Gold Butte range in 2014, agents were bracing for a violent confrontation.
Some employees feared for their lives as suggestive threats surfaced and were circulated among Interior Department and law enforcement officials, according to emails obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal through a Freedom of Information Act request.
After more than two years of gathering, redacting and delaying release of the documents, the Bureau of Land Management this week provided the newspaper with more than 400 pages of blacked-out emails and reports.
The newspaper contends so much requested information is missing that the BLM response lacks the transparency required by the act.
“ ‘Better late than never’ doesn’t cut it when it comes to the release of public records,” Review-Journal Editor Keith Moyer said. “But it’s especially intolerable when the government takes years to provide documents that can’t be read because they’re so heavily redacted. The Interior Department’s response in no way satisfies our FOIA request and leaves far too many questions about the 2014 Bunkerville standoff unanswered.”
Review-Journal attorney Maggie McLetchie said, “FOIA was designed to ensure openness in government. We are studying the BLM’s response and considering future options.”
The documents show the BLM was not only worried about 2,000 self-styled militia descending on a corral near Bunkerville, where about 350 head of Bundy’s cattle were impounded along the Virgin River, but bureau and National Park Service public affairs staff also were preparing now-censored scripts to deal with the media if something tragic happened.
The emails say that federal agents overheard at a Wal-Mart in nearby Mesquite, 75 miles northeast of Las Vegas, that a protest by 2,000 people was mounting.
ROUNDUP’S COST
The newspaper sought emails that were copied to BLM District Manager Tim Smith, BLM Director Neil Kornze and then-Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie.
The FOIA request, which consolidated two previous requests received by the BLM on April 13, 2014, hours after the standoff ended, also sought documents about the cost of the failed $1 million effort to remove Bundy’s cattle from the range and sell them at auction.
Those documents show the BLM reduced a fraction of the $966,000 contract for a helicopter-roundup outfit because the detail to impound and truck the Gold Butte range cattle north to Utah had been cut short “for safety reasons.”
Not counting personnel costs or costs racked up by the FBI and other participating federal agencies, nearly $1 million was spent on the helicopter roundup and impoundment of Bundy’s cattle, including an invoice for more than $16,000 for command post trailers provided by Modular Space Corp. in Berwyn, Pennsylvania.
The newspaper had sought credit card records, money transfer records and other charges that were paid through BLM and Interior Department accounts, but none were provided in the documents released by the BLM.
An order for a helicopter company was placed Feb. 7, 2014, by the BLM’s Las Vegas Field Office. It called for a cost that “shall not exceed $966,000” based on a rate of $700 per head, or $770,000 for a possible 1,100 head; feed and care at $8 per head for $44,000; and transportation at $4.50 per mile.
After the armed standoff ended April 12, 2014, when BLM agents allowed Bundy’s supporters to release all the cattle from the corral, the contract was partially terminated “for convenience … due to unsafe site conditions and …” The end of that sentence was blacked out.
As a result, the order’s amount was reduced by about $126,767 to $839,233.
The contractor’s name and address were redacted under Freedom of Information Act exemptions that protect unwarranted invasion of personal privacy in law enforcement records and a determination by BLM FOIA Officer Ryan Witt that releasing the information “could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of any individual,” according to the BLM’s May 12 letter that accompanied the redacted documents.
THREATS TO BLM EMPLOYEES
BLM officials were leery of threats of physical harm to employees, according to some emails.
One handwritten note that begins, “Dear Feds,” was faxed among Interior Department officials. “I’m angry that you feel you can steal a ranch that has been this man’s family since the 1800s,” the letter reads. “Stop Now! before there is blood shed!
“How dare you! think you can do this because you have badges + guns does not give you the right to behave unconstitutionally …. We the People have had enough of the Government gangs and their Brutal actions against the public,” reads the letter that was forwarded April 10, 2014, two days before the standoff ended, to undisclosed recipients in the Interior Department.
Then-U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., in one staff memo, offered “congrats” to the BLM’s Bundy detail team.
But for what and to whom is unclear because most of the email and purchase documents the BLM provided are either blacked out entirely or heavily redacted. Twenty-two pages out of 442 “were withheld in full,” and 359 pages were withheld “in part.” Many of those pages, however, show only a date, a few words and an agency logo.
Five days after the standoff ended, Reid publicly described Bundy’s supporters as “nothing more than domestic terrorists.”
One memo said, “Several crazies are arriving daily from out of state to support the Bundys, and he is afraid these actions by the government will incite violence from one of the aforementioned crazies.
“He would like reporters or representatives of the government to be alongside BLM and their subcontractors to witness the round-up and provide in-partial 3rd party verification of what is happening. — April 8,” reads the memo that doesn’t identify who “he” is.
Another BLM email spells out the dangers of the roundup.
“I have hoped for a peaceful operation, however it appears that isn’t happening,” reads the email written on Sunday, April 6, 2014, at 7:30 a.m.
“I’m not feeling good about the protests planned partly because of the compound 1st amendment area. Imagine the pickets on the LV Strip on hwy 170,” the email reads.
“The BLM failure to attend a scheduled Bunkerville Town Board meeting has set the tone. That and a couple reported incidents (alleged guns drawn) have escalated this beyond what should be occurring,” it says.
Before the standoff ended, Bundy supporters had pointed rifles at the contingent of law enforcement personnel from an array of federal agents who were prepared to fire their weapons.
Little did BLM officials know at the time that this would be a prelude to the January 2016 occupation of a wildlife refuge in east Oregon that ended after a militia spokesman and Bundy’s friend, LaVoy Finicum, was shot dead by troopers after he tried to evade a roadblock.
On Feb. 10, five days after Bundy led a horseback procession at Finicum’s funeral in Kanab, Utah, he was arrested in Oregon on his way to support the wildlife refuge protest. He was returned to Las Vegas and jailed to face federal charges in connection with the April 2014 standoff in Bunkerville.
In all, 19 defendants, including Bundy and four of his sons, face felony charges including conspiracy, obstruction, extortion and assault in connection with the April 2014 standoff with law enforcement. They are all in federal custody with a trial set to start on Feb. 6.
In an interview six months after the standoff, Bundy told the Review-Journal, “One backfire of a vehicle, one firecracker, one somebody makes a crazy gunshot. It was that close, and it could have been either side’s fault. … It could have been We-The-People’s fault, or it could have been the government agency’s fault.”

Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
Recently I was presented with proof of the treason going on in the current government. A U.S. marshal made a declaration in my presence "There is no country of Iowa". A government does not deny the existence of its' own body politic. The independent countries that form the federation styling itself "The United States of America" exist or The United States of America doesn't.
Besides, I think there is a conspiracy to screw me out of the $5 U.S. note I still hold that helped finance the (un)civil war.

Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
The feds are changing their strategy to try and get a conspiracy conviction
Feds Plan to Use Participation in III% Militia and Oath Keepers as Evidence of Conspiracy in Bundy Ranch Retrial
Tim Brown
The attorneys and Judge Gloria Navarro demonstrate that they have no shame in what they will do in their relentless pursuit of men charged with multiple accounts from the Bundy Ranch siege 2014. In the latest move by the prosecution, they are seeking to use participation in their stand at Sugar Pine Mine in April 2015, the White Hope Mine in August 2015 and membership in the Idaho III% militia against them in a retrial set for this summer.
In April, the jury found Greg Burleson and Todd Engel guilty on several charges against them but was a hung jury when it came to the charges against Richard Lovelien, Scott Drexler, Eric Parker, and Steven Stewart. While the prosecution has sought to dismiss the remaining charges against Burleson and Engel for retrial, claiming it would save the court and the government time, they remain unwilling to do so for the other four men, whom they failed to make a case against so that the jury would find them guilty. In fact, their case was so poor, that documents from the jury indicate that they were leaning towards a verdict of "Not Guilty" on the most serious charges of conspiracy.
In the latest move by the prosecution, they are seeking to introduce evidence, which they claim is "of intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, absence of mistake, modus operandi, and /or lack of accident."hod
The prosecution claims the evidence is "inextricably intertwined with, the conspiracy charged in the Superseding Indictment."
That's interesting since they didn't bring this "evidence" in the first trial, but I digress.
So, what evidence did they cite? According to the filing submitted on Friday, they are going to point to some of the defendants being involved at stands they took at Sugar Pine Mine in April 2015 and White Hope Mine in August 2015, as well as being members in the Idaho III% militia.
According to the prosecution, "The government intends to introduce evidence that, following the events of April 12, 2014, defendants Eric Parker, Steven Stewart, and Scott Drexler joined a militia group referring to themselves as the Idaho chapter of the "III%." As part of their membership, they participated in two additional "operations" (discussed further below) whereby they threatened to use force and /or presented a show of force, on the public lands to prevent federal officers from taking enforcement actions in those areas. Defendant Parker also subsequently shared on social media photographs of himself participating in the events of April 12, 2014, over which the "III%" logo appears to be superimposed."
OK, fine. What's the problem here? These guys joined after the Bundy Ranch siege, not before it! This should not be allowed to be evidence against them as a "conspiracy" at Bundy Ranch. Second, the militia is constitutional, as the Second Amendment affirms, and furthermore, the militia is the very entity charged in the Constitution with law enforcement, not "federal officers."
Listed in Article 2 of the US Consitution are the enumerated powers of Congress. Among those powers is the authority to call up the militia, something they don't seem to want to do any more today, in a similar manner to using letters of marque and reprisal, which were used during the Barbary Wars. Instead, they want to maintain a standing army, which has to be renewed every two years per the Constitution but is something our founding fathers warned against.
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
Second, the prosecution said they would be bringing evidence in of "Operation Gold Rush" at Sugar Pine Mine.
"On or about April 2015, defendants Eric Parker and Scott Drexler traveled to a mining site located on land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Josephine County, Oregon," government prosecutors wrote. "As members of the Idaho III% group, Parker and Drexler, along with others affiliated with the "Oath Keepers" and "III%er" groups, conducted armed patrols and presented as a show of force in order to prevent federal officers from entering the property and taking any regulatory efforts with respect to the mine."

One thing is interesting about the mention of Oath Keepers here is that the founder of Oath Keepers, Stewart Rhodes, was at Bundy Ranch, but we don't see him arrested and awaiting trial, do we? I have it on good authority that but we don't see him arrested and awaiting trial, do we? I have it on good authority that Rhodes was the one that put out the bogus information regarding a potential drone strike at Bundy Ranch. In the past, Rhodes has seemingly deflected guilt for the murder of a US veteran in broad daylight at the hands of the Pima County Sheriff's Department despite claims to want to fight against tyranny. However, there are plenty of faithful veterans who have taken the title and joined his Oath Keepers organization and many who will not join, but take seriously their oath, because they believe it to be a controlled opposition organization, whether it is or not.
However, what should be understood here is that there was merely a seeking to enforce the laws of the land, as our Constitution does not give privilege to the central government in ownership of the land without the express consent of the state legislature, which has never occurred. The criminal activity that was going on at Sugar Pine Mine was that which was engaged by the agents under the direction of the Department of the Interior, just like at Bundy Ranch and just like at White Hope Mine, which is where the next bit of evidence the prosecution claims to bring forth comes from.
"'Operation Big Sky' - On or about August 2015, defendants Eric Parker and Scott Drexler traveled to a mining site located on land administered by the United States Forest Service ("USFS") in the area of Lincoln, Montana," the prosecution wrote. "They responded to the mine as part of an "operation" led by the "Oath Keepers" and "III%ers" to prevent federal officers from enforcing federal regulations with respect to the mining operation through a show of force that included, among other things, maintaining a military-style security operation at the mine site and threatening to arrest federal officers."
Again, I ask, if federal officers are violating the Constitution, is it not the job of American citizens, specifically those in the militia to "execute the Laws of the Union" per the Constitution? I realize that Congress did not call them up, but can't we all agree that Congress is complicit in these land grabs and the establishment of these unconstitutional agencies?
Finally, I'd just like to point out the hypocrisy here in going all over the map to bring in evidence of an alleged conspiracy, but the Court will not allow the defense to call the government's star witness and all around thug in the case, Daniel P. Love, to the stand, who was found guilty of misconduct by the Inspector General and suspended from his job at the BLM by the Department of Interior in October 2016.
The feds do not want their own crimes, unconstitutionality and misconduct exposed to the public while they are hypocritically seeking to get a guilty verdict against patriots.
This entire circus is a mockery of justice and our Constitution, and instead of being ashamed, Judge Navarro and the prosecution do these things in the light of day.

Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
Loren Edward Pearce, The Tragic Demise of A Right To A Speedy Trial
The Tragic Demise Of A Right To A Speedy Trial
THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT, AS AMENDED IN 1979, IS COMPLEX AND HAS LOOP HOLES IN IT THAT THE GOVERNMENT SHIP COULD PASS THROUGH.
May 22, 2017 Constitution, Featured, US
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...er-678x381.jpg
THE TRAGIC DEMISE OF A RIGHT TO A SPEEDY TRIAL
A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC CAN ONLY BE POSSIBLE
FOR A MORAL PEOPLE
by Loren Edward Pearce
It is this writer’s opinion that the framers did not define, numerically, what speedy meant nor what excessive bail meant, because they knew that, for the constitutional republic to succeed, it depended on a moral people who sought to serve and protect rather than to subjugate and abuse.
A judge, who presided over a trial, was expected to have a moral compass that guided him/her in defining “speedy” in the best interests of the accused. Like a loving teacher or parent, the desire for the quickest but also fairest trial possible would be as natural as the sun rising in the morning, and no need for a numerical definition, because it https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...-1-300x300.jpg
would be the shortest time that was within human power to grant.
Under the utopia envisioned by the founders, the new republic would be governed by a people who had only the best interests of their neighbor at heart, and the need for a Law of Moses type minutia, with thousands of rules and regulations, would be replaced by a Christian “Two Great Commandments” of loving God, fellowman and self, replacing the need for rigid rules, quotas and numbers.
It is important to note that the moral compass was applicable to all people, with the majority of citizens expected to behave in such a way that the need for criminal trials would be minimal, keeping the courts free from congestion and backlogs.
A ONE-SIDED BILL OF RIGHTS
The Bill of Rights was written only for the sake of the accused, not for the sake of the accuser. This one-sided, seemingly unbalanced approach to rights was intentionally set forth this way as a reminder to a government of how limited they were supposed to be. The Bill of Rights was written for one reason, and one reason only, to establish an impenetrable barrier between government and non-government citizen. The best interests of the public or the compelling interests of the state were left out on purpose, because the state, through government actors, had to be restrained given the historical tendency to move from the role of a righteous and humble public servant to that of a controlling and Machiavellian type leader obsessed with personal gain.
The Bill of Rights assumes that the accuser, which is the state in all criminal matters, has so many resources at its disposal, that it does not need any assistance in order to even the playing field. However, in fulfillment of the founder’s fears, the government has grown into an entity of monstrous proportions and has taken many liberties with the Bill of Rights by giving more power to the accuser, at the expense of the accused, as we shall see with the issue of a Speedy Trial.
GOD’S SPEED TO YOU
The word “Speedy” has a slang quality about it, as in Speedy Gonzalez, but the word goes back to at least the 13th century. Derived from the word “speed”, which originally meant to prosper, to advance, to acquire wealth and to have success and to do so as quickly as possible. The saying, “God’s speed” was not a request for a turbo charger so your car could go faster, it was a blessing of prosperity, not in the indefinite future, but now, quickly and without delay. For centuries, judges and prosecutors sought “God’s speed” according to the culture of the time, and they knew that a “Speedy trial” was not speedy if it did not have behind it, a desire for God’s speed.
With that backdrop, it may be assumed that the Sixth Amendment authors, acting on their desire to bless their fellowman, were entrusting public servants with a lot of discretion, discretion based on a moral compass.
THE SIXTH AMENDMENT“In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.”
The Sixth Amendment was put in place “(1) to prevent oppressive pretrial incarceration[,] (2) to minimize anxiety and concern of the accused[,] and (3) to limit the possibility that defense will be impaired.” Hills, 618 F.3d at 631–32.
When the framers of the constitution wrote the Sixth Amendment, they did so within the context of ancient English law. In reaction to the abuse by kings, royalty and the nobles (the elite), political opponents were punished with pretrial prison, often indefinitely. This led to the the Magna Carta provision in 1215:
“To no one will we sell, to no one will we refuse or delay, right or justice.”
Over 400 years later, in 1642,Sir Edward Cokeconcluded that English judges were required to give a prisoner “full and speedy justice” to avoid the evil of lengthy pretrial detention.
MOVING AWAY FROM THE MORAL COMPASS AND BEST INTERESTS OF THEIR FELLOW MAN
The idea that “justice delayed is justice denied” is ancient. Over the course of the last 9 centuries, since the concept of a speedy trial was first codified, the definition remained intentionally vague because of the assumption that the benefit of the doubt would be given to the accused in effecting a trial as quickly and as thoroughly as possible, until the ends of justice were fairly met.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...ne-300x188.jpg
Like a ship leaving its mooring at a dock, the dock representing the Constitution, the ship representing the state or government, has drifted away from its role and purpose, i.e., the best interests of the individual citizen. The ship, once a small boat with a small crew, has grown to a Titanic, and beyond, with a crew, a military and instruments of force far exceeding the wildest imagination of the founders. With those tools of force, the government feels free to modify and to manipulate the bedrock principles, that worked so well for the first few centuries, for its own self serving purposes at the expense of the individual citizen.
The government often uses the phrase, “the public interest balanced against individual interests” as if the two were inherently contradictory. “Public interest” really is the code word for government interest. The government has become an exclusive club and like the ship leaving the constitution harbor, is self contained with rules for boarding the ship.
Government employees have their own unique world of pay, benefits and privileges, including that they are exempt from Social Security. All this leads to a great dichotomy of non-government individuals versus the government’s interests. These competing interests are what we are seeing in the Bundy et al controversy, with government club members protecting each other against the uppity private citizens. These competing interests lead to the passage of laws that eviscerate the Bill of Rights, a document exclusively created for individual citizens.
THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT OF 1974 AS AMENDED IN 1979
In 1972, over 700 years after the Magna Carta, theUnited States Supreme Courtgrappled with the problem of defining speedy trial inBarker v. Wingo, and developed a four part test to determine if an accused’s constitutional right to a speedy trial had been violated.
- the length of delay
- the reason for the delay
- the time and manner in which the defendant has asserted his right
- the degree of prejudice to the defendant which the delay has caused
See U.S. CONST. amend. VI; Barker v. Wingo, 407 U.S. 514, 529–30 (1972) (stating that the right to a speedy trial is a fundamental right).
In 1974, congress decided to give speedy trial rights more teeth by passing the Speedy Trial Act. The intentions by the good ship government in passing the Speedy Trial Act, seemed to be based on a desire to move back closer to port (the constitution). The author of the legislation, Rep. Mikva, originally called it the Pretrial Crime Reduction Act and said that it, “is an approach to the problems of crime by defendants released prior to trial which does not rely on jailing criminal defendants before they are found guilty. It provides to the judge alternative methods to insure supervision and control of dangerous defendants, it provides pretrial services agencies with adequate resources to make those pretrial controls effective, and it insures that defendants are brought to trial quickly enough that the pretrial controls need be used only for a minimum time.”
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...B1-245x300.png
Ammon Bundy, and other defendants, have been incarcerated for over 480 days as of May 20, 2017
Notice that the original legislative intent was the reduction of pretrial detention because the due process matters at trial would move quickly and fairly, reducing the amount of time a defendant had to commit a crime if released pending trial. But, Mikva is also acknowledging the devastating harm to defendants and to the presumption of innocence occasioned by courts detaining prisoners prior to trial because the courts can’t move fast enough. Fast forwarding today, we see that Rep. Mikva would be disappointed in the results, as the number of prisons and pretrial prisoners have grown exponentially, with many accused never going to trial but opt for a plea deal instead.
The Speedy Trial Act, as amended in 1979, is complex and has loop holes in it that the government ship could pass through. Trial must commence within 70 days from the date the information or indictment was filed, or from the date the defendant appears before an officer of the court in which the charge is pending, whichever is later. Additionally, Congress added a provision allowing a minimum of 30 days for trial preparation, unless waived by the defendant, so as to not be so speedy as to deny adequate trial preparation time.
If trial ends in a mistrial, or the court grants a motion for a new trial, the second trial must begin within 70 days “from the date the action occasioning the retrial becomes final.” 18 U.S.C. § 3161(e).
The Act, when first passed in 1974, provided for tough standards of dismissal with prejudice (meaning the case could not be taken up again). When amended in 1979, Congress made it much easier to get around these standards for dismissal and left it to the discretion of the court to decide if it was to be with prejudice or without prejudice (meaning the issues could be tried again).
A SPEEDY TRIAL IS MORE OF A MYTH THAN A REALITY
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...ed-150x150.jpg
You may be scratching your head and wondering how could the 70 day time limit, plus the 30 days trial preparation time for a total of 100 days, have anything to do with the Bundy et al defendants given that the majority of them have been in prison for over 480 days as of May 20, 2017.
Enter the “ends of justice” exclusions of the Speedy Trial Act, or as I like to call them, the “end” of justice. Congress recognized that the obstacles to a speedy trial included many factors that could be excluded from the time limits and spelled out what some of those “ends of justice” exclusions were, while at the same time giving wide discretion to the courts to decide what can be excluded from the time limits. These exclusions and exceptions to the time limits in the Act, are the loopholes that a ship could go through. As one legal expert commented, “ the right to a speedy trial may be more myth than reality” in how the Act is applied in many federal circuit courts of appeal.
WHAT DOES SPEED HAVE TO DO WITH IT?: AN ANALYSIS OF THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT’S APPLICATION OF THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT pg 115
The following periods of delay shall be excluded in
computing the time within which an information or an
indictment must be filed, or in computing the time within
which the trial of any such offense must commence:
(1) any period of delay resulting from other proceedings
concerning the defendant, including but not limited to
(A) delay resulting from any proceeding . . . to determine
the mental competency or physical capacity of the defendant;
(B) delay resulting from trial with respect to other
charges against the defendant;
(C) delay resulting from any interlocutory appeal;
The Speedy Trial Act of 1974: Effects on Delays in Federal Criminal Litigation
(D) delay resulting from any pretrial motion, from the filing of the motion through the conclusion of the hearing on, or other prompt disposition of, such motion;
(E) delay resulting from any proceeding relating to the transfer of a case or the removal of any defendant from another district . . .;
(F) delay resulting from transportation of any defendant . . .;
(G) delay resulting from consideration by the court of a proposed plea agreement . . .; and
(H) delay reasonably attributable to any period, not to exceed thirty days, during which any proceeding concerning the defendant is actually under advisement by the court.
In addition, a period of delay to allow the defendant to demonstrate his good conduct and a “period of delay resulting from the absence or unavailability of the defendant or an essential witness” are excluded. Furthermore, delay because a continuance is granted by a judge on his own motion or at the request of the defendant or government is also excluded.
If, after all these exceptions and exclusions are considered, the court finds that there was a violation of the Speedy Trial Act, courts have significant discretion when deciding if a violation occurred and whether to dismiss with or without prejudice. United States v. Fountain, 840 F.2d 509, 512 (7th Cir. 1988).
PROSECUTORIAL DELAYS AND LAZINESS UPHELD BY FEDERAL COURTS
The government crew, watching out for one another, has led to the federal circuit courts ruling that only dismissal without prejudice should be granted despite the fact that there were lengthy delays and laziness on the part of the prosecution. See, e.g., Sykes, 614 F.3d at 305–06; Hills, 618 F.3d at 631–32; Killingsworth, 507 F.3d at 1087; Arango, 879 F.2d at 1501; Fountain, 840 F.2d at 509.
In Hills, the federal team ruled that delays could be justified based on:
“[W]hether failure to grant a continuance would result in a miscarriage of justice, whether the case is so complex that adequate trial preparation is impossible under the Speedy Trial Act’s time limits, and whether the failure to continue would deny the defendant reasonable time to obtain counsel, or would deny counsel the time necessary for effective preparation.”
TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OUT OF THE DELAYS IN THE BUNDY, ET. AL. CASE
While this writer does not have the advantage of knowing all the details in the Bundy et al case, it is well known that the prosecution has leveraged the exclusion to a speedy trial based on complexity of the case. The problem with complexity as a reason, is that the prosecution can be the creator of the complexity, against the will of the defendants.
The Hills case is distinguishable from the Bundy case because the federal circuit examined the district court’s reasoning for granting the continuance, which included the complexity of the case and the fact that the defendants would not be greatly prejudiced by a delay since they were not in custody.
The Bundys are in custody and thereby greatly prejudiced by the federal team (Navarro and the prosecutors) decision to delay the trial. Delay of the trial works to the benefit of the federal team because:
It places additional pressure on the defendants to accept a plea deal, thereby making an expensive and protracted trial unnecessary
Witnesses and testimony not favorable to the government’s case, have a greater chance of disappearing and memories fading with the passage of time.
Private prisons make profits off of not guilty but detained prisoners through cheap labor and government incentives. Share holders in these private prisons may be linked to government actors through difficult to trace financial instruments.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...-1-300x247.jpg
The threat to the prosecutors, the judge, BLM, the FBI, the Marshal Service and other government entities are reduced as the defendants are not able to effectively go on the offensive and file counter claims on the constitutionality of their actions, their authority and jurisdiction.
The writer observed a few days of trial in Las Vegas with six (6) of the defendants and noted that mountains of evidence and discovery was submitted by the prosecution, under a multiplicity of counts and charges. This was the doing of the prosecution, they created the complexity.
In contrast, the defense tried to reduce it to the most simplest terms, essentially arguing that the defendants came to Bunkerville spontaneously, under a first amendment right to assemble and to protest. There was no conspiracy nor was there any intent to impede federal officers in the performance of their duties unless those officers were exceeding the scope of their authority.
The jury seemed to be overwhelmed by the confusing and convoluted mountain of information from the prosecution, including the 50 pages of jury instructions, which ultimately led to a hung jury and a mistrial. The vote was 10 to 2 in favor of acquittal with evidence that the jury may have voted 12 to 0 for acquittal prior to undue influence by the judge.
CONCLUSION
The government ship, has given itself abundant loop holes against the threat of being tethered to a speedy trial requirement. With so much discretion and so much common law on their side, prosecutor Myhre and his federal team (Navarro included) can safely claim that they are excluded from violating the Speedy Trial Act due the “ends of justice” exclusions afforded to them and they may even be able to break the 5 year record of not violating the speedy trial act.
Nevertheless, this writer fervently hopes that aggressive defense attorneys will file a flurry of motions and claims against the federal team and that at least some of the claims will gain traction.

Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
Continued . . . .
The new Attorney General for the Trump administration is a dark cloud on the horizon, as he has advocated for more prisons and a more intense “get tough on crime” policy.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...ns-600x400.jpg
Attorney General Jeff Sessions (photo: Reuters)
Getting tough on crime is a pretext for many anti-Bill of Rights laws, for mandatory minimum sentencing such as those that have turned the lives of the Hammond family into a hell. Getting tough on crime laws and punishments assume that the creators and administrators of such tough, draconian laws are moral people with a moral compass. When we see good people like the Hammonds and the Bundys become victims to such tough-on-crime laws, then we know that it is due to moral bankruptcy.
As the writer has stated previously, this issue is not only about the Bundys et al, it is about all of us. With the growth of private prisons and their insatiable appetite for more not guilty, not convicted prisoners, we are all under extreme peril. It behooves us to visit our elected representatives and demand that the government ship be brought back to port and tightly bound to the dock (the constitution)

Brand Thornton's response to Shriffe Mack's report on the investigation of Ammon Bundy's mal treatment
http://youtu.be/ZAYKVuXM8Hk
https://youtu.be/ZAYKVuXM8Hk
From Lo K youtube channel:
Assemblywoman Shelly Shelton To Sheriff Mack:I just listened to your radio interview regarding Ammon Bundy and torture. What part of STAND do you not comprehend? To STAND does not mean to LIE DOWN. To STAND does not mean to effortlessly comply. Mr. Mack, you won't stand. You talk. You encourage. Then you run.
You had the audacity to brag about the fact that you told Ammon not to stand at the refuge. Did you conveniently forget that a jury of his peers made it very clear that YOU WERE WRONG and AMMON was RIGHT to make that stand?
Once again your attempts to make yourself look "like the good guy" for your "investigation" has resulted in another boondoggle on par with your "children for human shields" fabrication that was used relentlessly against us.
This time you have attempted to make out Ammon to be a liar, yet all the things you said in your interview were the exact same things Ammon reported himself.
1) He said he was in there because he refused to comply. Check.
2) He said he stayed in the bathroom stall because he refused to HELP them strip search him. Check.
Your own assessment was that "Ammon isn't even the same person" he was before, which should enrage you even more, but it has had the opposite effect and now you falsely make him out to be a liar in front of all his opposition.
So far Ammon is batting 100% and you sound like a child making excuses for what you are doing near the cookie jar. Next time you feel the urge to "liberty" it might be better done from your living room.
You drove past a few dozen people who put their lives on hold to stand out and protest our broken justice system in the hot Nevada sun. You had plenty of time to stop by and talk with your buddy, the Sheriff, and you had plenty of time to talk to Ammon about asking us to leave, but you didn't have quite enough time to come out there with us and STAND for the right to a speedy trial and the right to bail. To top it off you made vague claims of "threats" you have received since your visit, knowing full well that the opposition and the federal government have shown themselves to be the authors of those threats as part of their modus operandi (Greg Burleson, etc).
I'd like to see those threats. We have been standing for Ammon and every other prisoner in America facing a corrupt justice system, and I don't know a single soul out there who would even THINK of even calling you on this much less make some kind of threat. Your biggest threat is your own conscience.
Your interview touched on the biblical aspect of this. The insinuation was that compliance was somehow a "moral high ground". You forget sir, that we do not live in a KINGDOM. We live in a Republic, where the LAW is king. We owe our allegiance to the LAW and our God. The law has been broken here, and it wasn't by us or by Ammon. WE are the government. It is OUR DUTY to see that our justice system works.
When you are ready to accept your inherited responsibility as a descendant of the great men and women who shed blood for that law please let everyone know and I feel certain you will be welcome with open arms. But as long as your allegiance lies outside that law American patriots are better off without you.
Your actions are proving that Gavin Seim is right. There are no constitutional Sheriffs left in America. No constitutional officer would ever subvert the efforts of good Americans standing up for the Law of the land.

Article I Section 8, Clause 15: The Congress shall have Power To ...provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions....
Why the Congress? This would be to much power to grant the President. My guess is the founders gave the Congress this power for several reasons, one being to combat an Executive Branch gone rogue.
was Nevada not invaded by a defacto rogue agency of the Executive Branch of this defacto government?
When the Congress fails to do its duty, as it has done the last 150 years, then the Second Amendmemt becomes the mechanism to repel invasions as happened at Bundy Ranch.
Bunkerville Defendants Back In Court Today
GOVERNMENT FILED MOTIONS TO INCLUDE EVIDENCE FROM SUGAR PINE MINE, WHITE HOPE MINE AND IDAHO 3% MILITIA.
May 25, 2017 BLM, Constitution, Featured, Nevada 1

Bunkerville Defendants Back In Court Today
by Shari Dovale
Four of the first round of defendants in the Bunkerville Trials in Las Vegas were dealt a mistrial recently. They were back in court today for motion hearings in preparation for their upcoming retrial.
Some of the highlights included the Judge ruling that the defendants will not be able to use the First and Second Amendments to the US Constitution in their defense. This is not a new ruling, it is just being reiterated to the defense that the Constitution is not allowed in Judge Navarro’s courtroom.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...2a-238x300.jpg
Though the Federal government and the State of Nevada recognize the people’s right to open carry, Judge Gloria Navarro has made it quite clear that, in her mind, anytime a person is open-carrying a weapon and a law enforcement officer happens to see that weapon, then that is evidence of a threat to the officer and is considered assault.
That would indicate that the US Constitution is being used against the citizens of this country!
If citizens choose to exercise their rights, as guaranteed by the US Constitution, and if the government were to arrest them on Federal charges, as stated by this Federal Judge, would that mean that the US Constitution no longer exists?
Eric Parker’s attorney was not in court today, so Eric was told that he could “share” another attorney or raise his hand when he had a question. He did have questions.
Parker asked about the recent airing of the PBS Frontline TV show “American Patriot”. The PBS producers used Sealed Discovery Evidence in their production. Parker asked the Judge if there was going to be an investigation into this or, if not, will she lift the seal for the defendants to now share the discovery? She did not take his question, instead telling him that his attorney needs to file another motion.
The prosecution has now raised the issue of “Speedy Trial” in their arguments. The defense, in trying to set the schedule, suggested the court recess during the Independence Day holiday week, beginning trial afterwards. The prosecution objected as this would be an unnecessary delay.
These statements are from the same folks that have kept these defendants incarcerated for 14 months, and stated they would be within their rights to continue to hold them ~pre-trial and pre-conviction~ for up to five years.
The Speedy Trial argument is only allowed when it is convenient for the government?
Eric Parker asked why the “Tier One” defendants, including Cliven Bundy, couldn’t be included in this upcoming trial, in the interest of a “Speedy Trial”. That issue was slapped down by Judge Navarro pretty fast.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...ine-300x51.jpg
The government has also motioned that they would like to include evidence of the “Sugar Pine Mine” protest, the “White Hope Mine” protest and the Idaho III% Militia group in the upcoming trial as evidence against the defendants. This is problematic in that these protests and groups did not take place until after Bunkerville. This ‘evidence’ did not exist in 2014, so they have no bearing at all on this case.
*It should be noted at this point that the government has not sought to bring in evidence from Burns, Oregon and the Malheur Protest.
The court ruled in the previous trial that the information would not be allowed, however, they are going to have to rule again as the government has brought it up again. Does this mean that all previous rulings are now moot? Will they have to delay the trial again to go over all previous rulings? Will the defense have another chance to argue their own motions?
I suspect that Judge Navarro will hold true to form and allow the government their special prerogatives, yet deny the defense.
Ricky Lovelien’s defense attorney, Shawn Perez , showed his lack of interest in the entire procedure when he stood up in court on the record and stated that he did not care what the court decided because he was “Just here for the ride.” I feel disheartened for Lovelien, as the apathy of the federal defense attorney guarantees a poor defense.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...er-242x300.jpg
Flyer that was sent to 700,000 residents of Nevada in Fall 2016The government filed a late-night motion last night that the defense has not had a chance to respond to. They have decided that the publicity that the alternative media has been able to generate is making the government look bad. They argue that it will taint the jury pool.
(Remember that they were not worried about the jury pool when the 700,000 flyers about Cliven Bundy were mailed across the state of Nevada.)
Again, this brings up the question of the PBS Frontline show, and how they were able to secure sealed evidence to present a slanted view of the case, favoring the government. However, the government is crying like a little girl in that they are not being treated as special as they feel they should.
They have motioned that they want even more prejudice against the defendants by allowing the government additional strikes during jury selection, as well as additional time to speak to the jury. They have argued that the publicity generated on social media has given the defendants an advantage and are asking for more than double the amount of challenges they previously received “to level the playing field” for the government.
This means that the government has taken note of the success that alternative media is having. They cannot stop the truth from being shared and they want to punish the defense for this success.
Last night’s motion is presented for you below:
John Lamb and Andrea Parker have done a great job at updating us in the video here:
