Department Of Interior Visits Bundy Ranch To Investigate Gold Butte Monument Designation

By Deb Jordan – GMN –
Carol Bundy, wife of rancher & political prisoner Cliven Bundy, was happy to get a visit from the Department of The Interior this week. Carol says she’s still not quite trusting the turn around in the Department, but she is encouraged.
The visit to Bundy Ranch was by order of Nevada Senator Dean Heller, who sent agents from The Department out to do an investigation into whether or not there was any real justification to designate land where the Bundy Family owns rights to the water as part of the Gold Butte Monument. Mrs. Bundy said they spent 5 or 6 hours walking the property and looking at areas where the Bundy’s own water rights.
President Trump has ordered the Department of the Interior to review all designations of national monuments greater than 100,000 acres created since 1996 and the area surrounding Bundy Ranch falls within that perimeter. If the Gold Butte designation stands the Bundy family will not only lose grazing rights, they will also lose water rights owned by the Bundy Family for decades.
Mrs. Bundy states that she is cautiously optimistic but was a bit disappointed that Ryan Zinke did not accompany the agents on this trip, “I would really like to speak with Ryan Zinke she says, but this is a start and we are very thankful and happy that Senator Heller sent them out to take a look.”
“The overall observations of the agents were encouraging” says Carol Bundy – ” They told me other than a http://thepetesantillishow.com/wp-co...40_7914441.jpgsmall amount of petroglyphs in an area that would take a pretty ambitious hike to get to, they saw nothing that justified this area for being designated a part of the monument.”
The Bundy’s have been disappointed in the past, and the Department of The Interior has rarely given them any reason to believe they would do anything that went in the Bundy’s favor; but the winds of change are beginning to blow in the west and Carol Bundy just felt a small breeze of hope all the way from Washington D.C.
Carol’s husband and four of her son’s have been wrongfully jailed for almost a year and a half without the right to bail and speedy trial, and face life in prison for protesting an overly militarized Bureau Of Land Management who surrounded the family with sniper teams in March and April of 2014. #GoogleDanLove #GoogleBundyRanch

First Bundy Ranch Trial Co-Defendant Jerry Delemus- Sentence Looming – |
- TJ2000
I cannot help but like Trump more and more each day even though during elections I wasn’t much of a fan. Sounds like Nevada Senator Dean Heller is also a Senator worth keeping around.- dennisandconniegomez
Senator Heller does not respond to any of our e mails or phone calls, but this is hopeful! Mr. Zinke called one of the Patriots’ home. Prayerfully, this is the beginning of the government officials investigating the injustices happening more and more frequently!! Now…FREE our Patriot Prisoners!!- Carol Dentinger Rozier
Trump doesn’t care about anyone but himself, and a few of his family members. His entire adult history has been comprised of lying, cheating, defrauding, and abusing people. He lied hundreds of times during his campaign and continues to lie. He’ll do whatever is good for the super-rich who put him in office or whichever rich people he can get favors from. If he takes away the protected land designation of Gold Butte and the other monuments it’ll only make it more likely they’ll be mined and fracked to death.
- Verna
Really? this isn’t a Trump bashing article.this is about real families who have suffered long at the hand of the feds. Give it a break & try to keep your focus in line with that of the story. Pray for the Bundy family.
- Earl Long
Amen- tjzbears
Wow! Hate much?- Leslie
Geez the only super rich who put Trump on the campaign trail, was Mr. Trump himself. I guess you miss the whole point of why he even got involved in politics. He’s not influenced by “lobbyists” at all….but I guess you can’t figure that out. He’s trying to un-do what Obama did before he left office, apparently you have not been keeping up with those things. Start doing your homework, it might open your eyes up.- Jeanne Dukes
Hey, brain trust, try to keep up and stay on topic, huh? Your flexibility amazes me. How do you get your foot in your mouth and your head up your ass all at the same time?- Merlynne
You have no clue what you’re talking about, do ya?- Jsatterfield
You make a lot of accusations but you can’t back up any of them with facts. You need to back away from the CNN in the MSNBC and crap- Derek N Joyti Lermeny
We will continue to pray and work to spread the message of the land grabs out West and the injustices that have been done to the landowners. We must have balance. There has been no balance for many years and the damage it has done is huge. We live in the Black Hills of South Dakota and we know first hand what federal land management has done to the national forest. We need smart land management. Praying that the Bundys can retain their water rights and that the grazing rights issue that the have been fighting will be resolved in their favor. Sometimes the wheels of Justice turn slow, but they do turn.- Monte
In the grand scheme
of things nowadays, I am a nobody. But, in the past year, thanks to the Bundy
family and many others, my eyes have been opened to the world around me for the
very first time, and I mean really, truly, opened.
I grew up in a time when we could count on law enforcement
to help and protect the people. We were taught to respect you, look up to you,
and to trust you completely. The FBI was, supposedly, the ultimate law
enforcement agency. The elite. Whenever the police couldn’t solve a crime or
couldn’t do something, you were called in to get it done. When we thought of
FBI, we thought of courage, integrity, and most of all, honor.
This past year has taught me differently. I learned the
truth about you. What I have learned has been shocking, devastating, but most
of all, sickening. I watched you choose your ‘bosses’ over your fellow man. I
watched you label them as terrorists and claim that they, and all who stood
with them, to be a ‘virus’ that needed to be stopped from spreading. I watched
you smile and shake hands with these men and all the while, you were planning
their deaths. I watched you ignore the peaceful resolution offered to you by
the Bundy’s in regards to the Hammond family. I watched you set up a kill stop
in the middle of nowhere, force a man into it and then and kill him while he
had his hands in the air. I watched you shoot him repeatedly in the back. I
watched your edited video of the incident on national television while you
smugly lied and claimed it was all justified. Then, I got to see the actual
videos by the very people you were bent on murdering.
I have watched you use the media to spread a false narrative
to the American People, in order to influence their thoughts and feelings
against those involved in standing up to your corruption. I watched you abuse
these people while in custody. You have starved them, thrown their food on the
floor like they were animals, you have chained them to walls and forced them to
urinate and defecate on themselves. I have watched you try to force an unlawful
medical procedure on Ryan Bundy against his will, and with no authority granted
by the judge all in order to get a bullet out of him that is proof of your lies
and corruption. I have watched you use any little thing in order to throw these
guys in solitary. I have watched you intimidate and tamper with witnesses
during trial. I watched you lie under oath during trial. In a nutshell, I’ve
watched your fall from grace by your own actions.
Here’s is what I’ve learned that I hope you will wake up to
and, hopefully, learn from.
The Bundy’s and all the others who stood with them are good
people. Truly good people. YOU swore an oath to uphold and defend the
Constitution. YOU failed, but THEY didn’t. Everything THEY did…EVERYTHING…was
well within their Constitutional rights. YOU swore to protect the American
People. YOU failed, but THEY didn’t. THEY put their own lives on the line to
right a wrong being done to the Hammond family by the Government- your bosses.
YOU did everything in a sneaky and underhanded way, and you lied constantly. THEY
did everything above board, out in the open, and even videoed everything they
did for the whole world to see. THEY told the truth from start to finish.
Everything YOU did was to earn your paycheck. Everything THEY did was because
it was the right thing to do. Period. Do you see the difference? We sure do.
You blew it, No one respects you or trusts you, anymore. You
have become the criminals, the corrupt, and the traitors. Thankfully, people
see this now. The Bundy’s and the others are the men and women of true
integrity, honesty, and courage. They have proven themselves to be so. They
have become the ones We the People look up to, trust, and follow because they
have succeeded in all the ways you have failed us. When are you going to
realize that the more awful things you try to do to them the more respect, the
more support and the more loyalty they get? In the past year, you have lost
everything that TRULY matters while earning your money. These men and women
haven’t been able to earn a dime and yet they have gained everything that’s
important and lasting. You are darkness, and getting darker every day. They are
light and get brighter every day. Who do you think people will be more drawn
to?

God bless you- waupanu
this is a start, may it go in a truthful direction, and Constitutional one as well, and may the Abused families be released, pardoned, etc. and then a Real criminal investigation into those who colluded and conspired to destroy these American Citizens in Nevada, Oregon, USA.- Warren Price
The federal government owns the land pure and simple. The Bundy cattle trespass on federal land. The BLM got a court order allowing them to remove the Bundy cattle. The Bundys interfered with that. That is why they are now incarcerated. They are being prosecuted bt the Trump justice department.
- Marie Scherbaum Snow
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 of the US Constitution forbids the US Gov. from owning any land outside the 10 square miles that is Washington, D.C., except for military bases, fortes. post offices, etc., and only with the express permission of the state. The federal government does not ‘own’ this land. That is why this whole thing started.
- Warren Price
Clause 17 tells of a way that the federal government can acquire land and extinguish state law on that land. If you want to believe in this fantasy, and if you act on it, you will wind up incarcerated like the Bundys are. The federal government acquired the land in question by a treaty with Mexico. Treaties are allowed for by Article II sec. 2 of the constitution. Article VI of the constitution says that treaties are the supreme law of the land. Could you be so kind as to point me to a portion of the constitution that says that federal land within a territory becomes state land when a territory becomes a state? Read Pollard’s lessee v. Hagan, and Kleppe v. New Mexico. You should try to actually read the constitution, and not be a Bundy sheeple.- Marie Scherbaum Snow
Senator Heller is knowledgeable about a great deal. He is not in favor or government over reach, government secrecy in regards to ET, wants to tell the truth about geoengineering. We need more like him.

Deborah Jordan wrote a long piece in face book about the real instigator of the Bundy Ranch Protest, Daniel Paul Love.
The persecution have requested his name not be mentioned or he be called as a witness in the Bundy Ranch trials even though he is on the charging indictment. True to form Judge Navarro alowed the government's motion. Denial of due proces of law - No right for the defendants to face their accuser or even mention his name.
Instead of being posted on a facebook page this should be on the front page of the Las Vegas Review-Journal

Not mentioning Dan Love when discussing the Bundy standoff is like not mentioning the British when discussing the American Revolution. There is nothing left to talk about. In that case, if there is nothing to talk about why should all the charges not be dropped? If Dan Love doesn't exist, the Bundy standoff didn't happen and all the charges are dropped.
Thanks to Deb Jordan for writing this. Dan Love should be made a household name in Las Vegas, like Bill & Hillary Clinton, like Barack Obama.

DO NOT ALLOW THE GOVERNMENT TO MAKE THIS MAN IRRELEVANT IN USA vs CLIVEN BUNDY ET AL -- #GoogleDanLove
The man in this photo is Daniel P. Love --- Daniel P. Love was the Bureau Of Land Management's Special Agent In Charge of rounding up Rancher Cliven Bundy's Cattle beginning in March 2014.
Before SAC Daniel P. Love made his way to Bunkerville Nevada to use violence while violating the Civil Rights of Cliven Bundy and his family, Love had already gained the reputation of being overly aggressive and stepping outside the limit of his authority as a BLM employee.
In this video you will hear Senator Orrin Hatch speaking to then Attorney General Eric Holder about an overly aggressive BLM/FBI operation that ended with 3 people committing suicide -- in particular a prominent Family Physician, Dr. Jame Redd of Blanding Utah. The SAC's of that operation were BLM - Daniel P. Love and FBI - Greg Bretzing; you may recall Bretzing was in charge during the Malhuer Refuge occupation and responsible for agents who fired at LaVoy Finicum and then tried to cover it up. Bretzing has since retired.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvzwF-KPHlk
The following link will take you to one of the most comprehensive articles ever written about the death of Dr. James Redd and just how Daniel P. Love was responsible ..
http://graphics.latimes.com/utah-sting/
Over the past 3 years I have personally talked to people who worked with Love on the Salt Lake City PD, and again when they speak of Love it is a story of ego -- narcissism - and out of control aggression.
It seems that during his career trouble has always followed Love, and Bundy Ranch was no exception.
A July 2014 report by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a national organization that typically refuses to acknowledge truth , said the BLM took an “almost amateurish” approach early in the roundup by bringing in dogs, helicopters and “a lot of weapons” and trying to confine protesters to “First Amendment” areas.
http://therundownlive.com/nevada-rancher-prepares-for-show…/
Former BLM director Bob Abbey, has repeatedly accused Daniel P Love of being far too aggressive in the way he handled the Bunkerville situation and by not deferring to local law enforcement to protect contract cowboys hired to clear Mr. Bundy's cattle from Public lands Love ultimately caused the situation to escalate.
Attorneys for the defense in the case of the USA vs Cliven Bundy believe that once the the evidence in this case is presented, a well informed Jury will have no choice but to acquit.
Will the evidence prove that Daniel P. Love was the aggressor at Bundy Ranch? Attorneys say yes it will.
Prosecutor Steven Myhre will try to sell a Jury the lie that Daniel P. Love is an honorable man who was only trying to do his job - when for no reason what-so-ever people started showing up from all the country to protest him and scare him. Steven Myhre is prepared to lie to a jury and tell them that Daniel P. Love is a victim.
WE CANNOT LET HIM GET AWAY WITH THAT.
It is time to start educating the public about just who Daniel P. Love really is.
Daniel P. love is responsible for bringing over 200 armed and angry BLM Agents - FBI - and other unknown gunmen to Bundy Ranch.
He used "snipers" to intimidate the Bundy Family so they would be too fearful to protest.
Even though the BLM had no arresting power while impounding Cliven Bundy's cattle, they beat a man, took his property and incarcerated him.
In the Operations manual written especially for The Bundy Ranch by Daniel P. Love - it was emphasized over and over again that BLM Agents were not to approach or engage with protestors or the Bundy family --
Instead of following his own directive --
Daniel P. Love tried to cover up the actions of BLM agents he was in charge of when they Tazered Ammon Bundy 3 times ..
Body Slammed Margaret Houston to the ground --
Sicked dogs on Protestors and held AR15's on the crowd.
Daniel P. Love Brought a sniper team to Bundy ranch ..
Since Bundy Ranch;
Daniel P. Love has been investigated 8 times by the Office of The Inspector General.
Daniel Paul Love has been found guilty of misconduct by the O.I.G. and is now under investigation for interfering in a Congressional investigation.
Daniel P. Love has over and over again conducted investigations that have lead to death, destruction, and suffering.
Daniel P. Love is no victim.

Rip the veil of secrecy from the Bundy case
MAY 30, 2017 BY MINERAL COUNTY INDEPENDENT NEWS
4 COMMENTS
Justice must not only be done, but it must be seen to be done.
The wheels of justice continue to grind in the federal criminal case against Cliven Bundy, four of his sons and a dozen co-defendants over the April 2014 armed standoff with federal agents trying to confiscate Bundy’s cattle at his Bunkerville ranch. All of the defendants have been jailed for more than a year.
The standoff occurred after armed Bureau of Land Management agents attempted to round up Bundy’s cattle after he had refused for 20 years to pay grazing fees in the Gold Butte area. The BLM said he owed $1 million in fees and penalties.
Faced with armed protesters the BLM agents eventually released the cattle and left to avoid potential bloodshed.
Much of the evidence in the high-profile case remains cloaked in secrecy due to a blanket court protective order that requires just about everything filed in the case must be filed under seal.
But the press — specifically the Las Vegas daily newspaper, this newspaper and The Associated Press — continue to fight for openness. Just this past week attorney Maggie McLetchie filed a writ with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals asking that the veil of secrecy be lifted because it “is anathema to the First Amendment” and long-standing court precedent from the 9th Circuit itself.
McLetchie argues, among other things, that much of the rationale for keeping the material secret is merely to protect government agents from legitimate criticism of their conduct. She also says the protective order is based on “speculation and scaremongering” supported almost entirely by a series of years-old online social media posts.
Since the arrests of most of the defendants back in February 2016, things have not gone swimmingly for the government.
Two of Bundy’s sons, who had been arrested on separate but similar charges of illegally occupying an Oregon wildlife refuge to protest the jailing of father and son ranchers under a terrorism law for letting fires get out of control and burn a few acres of federal public land, were acquitted of those charges this past fall by a jury, along with their co-defendants.
In April, the first of three scheduled trials for the Bunkerville defendants — charged with obstruction of justice, conspiracy, extortion, assault and impeding federal officers — ended in a mistrial. The jury found only two of six people on trial guilty of some charges but deadlocked on the others. The jurors agreed to convict on only 10 of the 60 charges brought. None of the conspiracy charges stuck.
In January, the Interior Department’s Inspector General released a 16-page investigative report outlining misconduct and ethical violations by the BLM agent who supervised the Bundy cattle roundup. The report never named the agent but said he abused his powers by obtaining preferential treatment for family and friends at the 2015 Burning Man event on BLM land, misused BLM personnel and equipment, improperly intervened in hiring a BLM agent and attempted to influence an employee’s testimony during the Inspector General’s investigation of him.
Congressional records identify the agent as Dan Love.
McLetchie noted that the misconduct allegations add fuel to the “general public’s concern that the government mishandled the investigation in this case.”
Her writ quotes from a 9th Circuit ruling from 1983 in which The Associated Press sought information about a criminal case. The court stated there “can be little dispute that the press and public have historically had a common law right of access to most pretrial documents. … Moreover, pretrial documents, such as those dealing with the question whether [a defendant] should be incarcerated prior to trial and those containing allegations by [a defendant] of government misconduct, are often important to a full understanding of the way in which ‘the judicial process and the government as a whole are functioning.’”
Seems on point for the Bundy case.
The defendants from the first Bundy trial are to be re-tried in late June on the same day Cliven Bundy, his sons and others were scheduled for trial. The court has yet to say what the schedule will be for the long-jailed remaining defendants.
The court needs to shine more light on this case so the public can see whether justice is being done. — TM
Because Ammon Bundy has refused to cooperate with the prison's policy of mandatory strip/ body cavity searches he has been subjected to inhumane treatment. Shawna Cox and Richard Mack have somewhat opposing points of view yet agree on other points.

~ Sam Bushman, Liberty Roundtable, to Redoubt News
On June 1, 2017, Sam Bushman, of Liberty Roundtable podcast show, invited Shawna Cox to give her side of the story to what she observed in watching 6 videos of the circumstances surrounding the shirt incident with Ammon and Ryan Bundy, eventually leading to both of them being condemned to a 3 foot by 3 foot shower stall and then culminating in being placed back into “the hole” or solitary confinement.
Listen to The Interview Here: Liberty Roundtable
I reported on Bushman’s earlier interview with Richard Mack and objected to how they made assumptions, comparisons and conclusions about Ammon Bundy’s behavior and integrity. With the Shawna Cox interview, I am pleased to report that Bushman was very fair with her, giving her all the time she needed to report things as she recalled and interpreted them.
SMELLS LIKE A SETUP
In Bushman’s interview with Cox, she noted at the 14:50 mark that there was a follow up, post incident interview with the security guard who had seized the shirt who claimed that Ryan had brushed his arm while trying to get the shirt back but that it was no big deal, he was not going to press charges. Cox said it was clear from the video that Ryan never had physical contact with the guard. He attempted to get the shirt, but it was out of reach and no contact was made. Cox said that the video shows the guard calmly walking away and throwing the shirt into a hamper and Ryan and Ammon returning to their bunks. It appeared that the incident was over and done with.
Some time goes by and the video shows 5 guards reappearing at the door of the pod. The first video ends and is replaced by a hand held video. What happens next has already been reported but what I would like to emphasize is that:
- The first video confirms that neither Ryan nor Ammon ever had physical contact with the guard and,
- That the guard himself acknowledged that it was not a big deal and was not thinking of pressing charges.
However, there appears to be an element of discrimination against Ammon for doing something that was commonly done for months. Why the sudden crackdown? Why was something that was a common practice, the hanging of shirts, now escalated to something requiring 13 hours (originally planned for 72 hours) of torture in a 3 foot by 3 foot shower stall? Did prison staff decide to teach Ammon and Ryan a lesson? Were they looking for a way to marginalize and weaken them by putting them back into solitary, thereby making their defense in trial that much more difficult?
THE QUARTER INCH SYNDROME
After spending 41 days in solitary, Ammon had been released to the general population and was resting on his bed minding his own business. Following the example of many other prisoners, he had placed a shirt to block the bright light so he could get some sleep in the night only to be rudely awakened by a guard objecting to his shirt. That incident quickly escalated to something that could have ultimately taken his life, had they completed the planned 72 hours of confinement in the 3 foot by 3 foot space.
This kind of rapid escalation from an insignificant, trivial matter to one that involves life or death is what I call the “quarter inch syndrome” in honor of Randy Weaver from Ruby Ridge . As some may recall, Randy Weaver sold a shotgun with a shortened barrel, quarter inch under legal requirements, to an undercover federal agent. The quarter inch eventually led to his remote property being overrun by 500 federal agents and related staff, ending in the deaths of his son, his wife and some federal agents.
Likewise, the hanging of a shirt from a bed to block light, rapidly escalated into the use of extreme, overwhelming, “shock and awe” type of force by government staff and resulted in extreme suffering to Ammon and to Ryan, and could have resulted in death had there not been intervention from the many calls to the prison and to the US Marshals service.
Something as trivial as a parking ticket, can result in death or lifetime disability, because something escalates to the misuse of government lethal force.
The “quarter inch syndrome” applies to what happened to the Hammonds who used a common practice of back burns that accidentally burned a little over an acre of government land, a tiny fraction of the 700 million acres the feds own, and escalated into a life threatening 5 year sentence for 73 year old Dwight Hammond.
The “quarter inch syndrome” applies to Joe Robertson and his fire ready stock ponds on his private property, it applies to Jerry DeLemus who came to Bunkerville the day after the protest under the overpass, where the government seized his desire to help his neighbor and avoid bloodshed and escalated it to one where he now must spend 87 months in prison.
The “quarter inch syndrome” applies to a truck full of people, including Shawna Cox, headed to John Day, armed with books and projectors to educate the people, and escalated to the death of a man, LaVoy Finicum, who had never had a speeding ticket in his life and in the cover up of the actions of special hostage FBI agents.
The “quarter inch syndrome” is at the root of what is wrong with big, centralized government. George Washington reportedly said, “Government is not reason nor is it eloquence, it is force.”
THE BULLY CREED
It has been said that the Golden Rule is, “he who has the gold makes the rules”. Likewise, the Golden Rule for the bully is, “he who is physically stronger, makes the rules” or even more simply put, “might makes right”.
Under this way of thinking, government, who has the bigger muscles, the bigger weapons and the most gold (resources), makes the rules and how they are applied. The government contract staff at the Nevada Southern Detention Center, suddenly decided that hanging shirts from beds were not permissible, and any resistance is met with superior force and disproportionate punishment that does not fit the crime.
The essence of the “quarter inch syndrome” is that the trivial or insignificant action is met with disproportionate force and punishment.
WHY DO BULLIES BULLY?
Whether the school bully, an abusive spouse or a government employee, the need to bully, to assert authority and to always win the argument, is motivated by many things:
- Ego, the obsessive need to be right.
- Insecurities. “I use government authority to get what I can’t have in my personal life”
- Blind loyalty to a team or organization. “My country and my government is always right, and I occupy the moral high ground because it is sponsored by government”.
- Training and brainwashing. “I learned to tackle hard in high school football and to put down resistance during military service. I apply that training in my correctional officer job.”
- Money. “I have to pay my mortgage. I go along with other bullies because they are the bosses, and I can’t afford to lose my job.”
- Psychopathic pleasure in having control and being able to dish out suffering to others without any consequences.
- Skeletons in my closet. “I am leveraged by other bullies who will punish me with my own past indiscretions or mistakes if I don’t do what they say.”
STRAINING AT A GNAT AND SWALLOWING A CAMEL
One of the most disturbing human traits is what Jesus referred to as,
Blind guides! You strain your water so you won’t accidentally swallow a gnat, but you swallow a camel! Matthew 23:24
The guards looked for ways to find a gnat by something so inconsequential as a shirt on a bed, but swallowed a camel by:
- Lying to Ammon and Ryan about simply wanting to talk to him in the hall.
- Ignoring the past pattern and practice of hanging shirts from beds and zeroing in on Ammon
- Throwing Ammon into a 3 foot by 3 foot shower stall for an intended 72 hours.
- Using brute force to strip him naked in front of other female guards.
- Throwing him back into solitary.
AND THE BIGGEST CAMEL OF ALL, ACTUALLY A GODZILLA, AMMON (AND OTHER DEFENDANTS) HAS NEVER BEEN FOUND GUILTY BY A JURY, IN FACT, HE HAS BEEN ACQUITTED BY A JURY AND SHOULD NOT BE IN PRISON TO START WITH!
Judge Gloria Navarro, strains at a gnat, trying to find evidence of dangerousness and flight risk in people famous for their Christ like charity while swallowing the camel in denying a 500 year old right to bail, that pretrial detainees are subject to all the horrors of prison as punished convicts and that the right to a speedy trial no longer exists.

Because of the mistreatment of Ammon Bundy and and the resulting stand by some in the patriot community made at the Southern Nevada Detention Center in Pahrump, Nevada against prisoner abuse, then flying the flag upside down on Memorial Day there is division in the movement.
Gary Hunt, Outpost of Feedom, sees this as being trouble for the initial objective, public land policy, and the plight of the Hammond's and Cliven Bundy.
Gary Hunt
Outpost of Freedom
June 12, 2017
I have been writing about the Bundy Affair since April 12, 2014 and the Burns Chronicles since February 2, 2016. Both evolved out of a common grievance, Public Lands, and the rights that are inherent in them. There are other commonalities, such as some of the players involved in both events and the fact that both had left behind the concept of Civil Disobedience and had entered the realm of Civil Defiance. Those players, unlike most other patriots, had moved along “The Other (not so) Thin Line” to a point where their actions were intended to speak louder than their words.
The first event, in Nevada, the Bundy Affair, was an evolution from an event back in 1993 when Cliven Bundy, supported by hundreds of patriots who went to his ranch to side with him, defied the federal government and first stood for his right to continue both grazing and water permits necessary to continue his ranching business. Cliven Bundy’s right to his historical use of the public lands culminated on April 12, 2014, or so we thought, in the “Unrustling” of the cattle that had been rustled by agents of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
In 2015, in Oregon, Dwight and Steven Hammond had been “resentenced” for a “crime”, though they had already served their time. Their “crime” was the use of controlled burn and backfire to do what ranchers and the BLM have done for over a century. The first is to destroy unwanted vegetation, the second, to control an existing fire in order to protect property.This was not the beginning of their ordeal with the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Their ordeal began almost a decade before Cliven Bundy’s first confrontation with an out of control federal government. The FWS had been trying to restrict the Hammond’s ranching by cutting of water supply, fencing public corridors, and requiring annual licensing for what were perpetual rights to Public Land Usage. “The Harassment of the Hammonds” dates back to October 1986.
For all intents, the Hammonds were tried, sentenced, served their time, and left prison as free men. The government waited until all of this was done before filing an appeal to the Appellate Court, contending that they should have been sentenced according to the Sentencing Guidelines. Funny, the word guidelines isn’t mandatory, simply a guide. But, more on that in a future article.
The resentencing of the Hammonds raised the indignation of some of those players from the Bundy Affair, and others who had, possibly a result of what they witnessed in April 2014, moved further along that “Thin Line”. Unable to convince the Hammonds that they should not turn themselves in for the additional 4+ years they would now have to serve, the objective changed to the FWS, the aggressors against the Hammonds.
There had been a planned demonstration in support of the Hammonds scheduled for January 2, 2016, just two days before they were to turn themselves over to the US Marshal Service to begin their second punishment for the first crime. This demonstration, like many others, was Civil Disobedience. However, behind the scenes, a plan of Civil Defiance had been hatched. It was left to those who either went to Burns, Oregon, before or after the January 2 event to decide just how far along that “Thin Line” they had moved. Unfortunately, many who claim that they are “fed up with the Feds” are not fully committed to action. Instead, they chose to act big and criticize what was acted out by those who were more committed and chose to occupy the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge (MNWR), an FWS facility about thirty miles south of Burns, and the adversary of the Hammonds rights for three decades.
For nearly a month, the Civil Defiance brought attention to the country, and the world, that the historical rights of Public Land usage were being trampled upon by the government. The government, possibly absent any legal standing to deal with the occupation of the MNWR, chose to ambush a two vehicle, eight-person convoy going to a public event in John Day, Grant County, north of Burns.
Lying to the Oregon State Police (OSP), the FBI claimed that they were making a “felony stop” (legally, to stop the completion of a felony) and/or to serve an arrest warrant. The warrant, however, was not issued until after seven were arrested and one murdered, while in transit to the event in John Day.
Rather ironically, in the subsequent trial of the leadership of the occupation, they were found Not Guilty. However, in the second trial, that of mostly followers, they were found guilty of both the felony charges and the additional misdemeanor charges the government brought to assure that they could get at least a few convictions, after spending millions of taxpayer’s dollars going after those who had brought attention to those egregious misdeeds of government.
Even after the arrests and murder, there were four others who would not “give up the ship”; Sandy and Sean Anderson, David Fry, and Jeff Banta. These “Final Four” remained on the Refuge for another 11 days, until they chose to peacefully surrender.
We can look to those who were indicted in Oregon, along with others who came to support the effort by remaining at the Refuge during the month long incident. They, most assuredly, have moved long that “Thin Line”.
Unfortunately, the government also had nine paid informants as participants between January 2 and January 26 (date of the murder of LaVoy Finicum), and six paid informants that reported from outside of the MNWR. Those informants have crossed a line, not moved along the “Thin Line”.
Shortly after the arrests were made, the government, with all of their paramilitary forces, decided that it was now safe to move on many of the active players in the Bundy Affair of nearly two years prior. Cliven had flown to Oregon to see his sons, Ammon and Ryan. He was arrested shortly after he got off the airplane — nice and safe, since they knew he didn’t have a weapon. But, heck, I don’t think Cliven Bundy ever carried a weapon back in 2014.
The Indictment and subsequence Superseding Indictment listed a number of those who were under Indictment in Oregon. The government was intent on quashing the First Amendment Right to Redress of Grievance, opting to circumvent the Constitution by using statutory and administrative law, with no reference to the defendant’s constitutionally protected rights.
So, at this point, we have three identifiable issues. First, Cliven Bundy and his rights; Second, Dwight and Steven Hammond and their rights; and, Third, the proper use of the Public Lands.
What people have rallied behind is the proper use of Public Land, as intended by the Founders and applied properly for over two centuries. Both the Bundy and Hammond situations have made them the “poster children” people for the Public Lands movement.
The trials in Portland (MNWR occupation) are over. The trials of those indicted in Nevada have begun, though with a very shaky (for the government) start. The first trial included six defendants and was identified as “Tier 3”. Tier 3 was those who had been identified as having possessed firearms (pesky Second Amendment) during the Unrustling on April 12, 2014. In a rather interesting “verdict”, only two of the defendants, Greg Burleson (a previously paid government informant) who was convicted on 8 counts of the Indictment, and Todd Engel, convicted of 2 counts.
Rather interestingly, at one point, the jury found all of the defendants Not Guilty of the two primary charges (Counts 1 & 2), and neither Burleson nor Engel was found guilty of those counts. However, the jury struck the Not Guilty checkmarks on the Verdict sheet. The Court then determined that the two found guilty need not stand trial, again, however, the remaining four defendants will stand trial, again (double jeopardy?) on charges that the jury had previously found them not guilty of. The government, apparently, hope that they can impanel a new jury that will buy the government line and find them guilty.
Interestingly, the trial was determined to be a “Mistrial” by Judge Navarro, though the guilty verdicts are still applicable. It appears that it was only a two-thirds “mistrial”, since only the remaining four defendants will stand trial, again, beginning July 10, 2017. Surprisingly, a single trial can be divided into two trials, one bringing convictions, the other to endeavor to bring more convictions.
So, what does this have to do with “What To Do?” Well, there are two parts to that answer. First, which has been alluded to already is just where one is along that Thin Line. Some are simply in the learning stage. That is the stage that everyone has gone through — some recently, others decades ago. Longevity is not a factor in that progression. Some learn faster, others find themselves in circumstances that accelerate the progression. Often, means are a factor. If one has a meager income versus expenses, then he will ‘invest’ where best suits his mental progression along that line. Others may have obligations that keep them from being able to participate in some aspects. There are some that will respond to the call, when the severity of a situation achieves a sort of boiling point — the need to commit, for the sake of others, comes when that point is reached. Still others may be at a point along the Thin Line where they are not willing to invest any more time than simply continuing to learn what they can, from the comfort of their own home. Similarly, others may see, let’s say, a demonstration, as unproductive — they are saving their resources for an event that they anticipate will warrant them dropping everything to respond. They perceive that Civil Disobedience is unproductive and refuse to participate — even though those that do practice such disobedience do bring attention to the objective, increasing public knowledge of an event. None of these should be faulted, for as one might not agree with another, it is quite likely that the other does not agree with the one.
The aspect of participation now being put side, let’s move on to the Cause. We will use the current situation, as described above, as the Cause. Public Land, Cliven Bundy, and the Hammonds. That’s it! That is where the investment, whichever level, is deemed appropriate for the individual, with respect for the Cause.
Suppose someone decides to extend the Cause to include other aspects. Again, using the current circumstances, suppose some decide to include prisoner abuse in the Cause objective. Does that mean that everyone should subscribe to this new entry into the field? Recently, the focus was shifted from those standing or awaiting trial in Nevada to prisoner abuse. Heck prisoner abuse has been going on for decades, if not centuries. Is there anybody that does not realize that regardless of what it is now, it used to be bread, water, and hard labor, or worse? Granted, many suffer such abuse, even before trial. I wrote about Kevin Massey’s pre-conviction treatment in the Camp Lone Star series. However, the focus has always been on the subject of the charges against Massey.
Now, I don’t want to demean those who are concerned with prisoner abuse. There is no doubt that many of us may be subjected to such abuse, as we progress along that Thin Line. Expect it, but keep your focus on the more important goals. It is more important to focus on the Public Land policies (and, we have seen some fruit come from the efforts of those who will stand, or have stood, trial). It is important to focus on the trial — the judicial abuse — far more than it is to focus on prisoner abuse though I don’t doubt that some things have changed at the Southern Nevada Detention Center in Pahrump, because of the efforts of a few. Unfortunately, that redirection to prisoner abuse is focused on two people, Ammon and Ryan Bundy. What of the other defendants? What of Cliven, Dwight, and Steven? What of Public Land policy? They seem to have been abandoned by those who became the most vocal in Nevada.
Even worse were some recent events in Las Vegas. It was on Memorial Day weekend. Las Vegas has a rather high veteran population, as does any city with a VA hospital. An inverted flag (yes, under the given circumstances, it offended me, too — see “Memorial Day 2017“) was flown at a busy intersection. A veteran, possibly at least partially intoxicated, but still a veteran who served his country, as he saw fit when he did serve, chose to educate those with the inverted flag. However, they were not willing to listen and, perhaps, become educated in what veterans feel. Instead, they determined that the veteran was a coward for fighting for his country, and was trying to steal their flag — though even when he was told he could take it, he chose not to take (or steal) it.
Unfortunately, the Bundy name was brought up during this confrontation. So, the veteran chose to associate the Bundys with the inverted flag. That makes it quite difficult to gain a sympathetic ear to the Cause, even though that Cause seems to have excluded the original and common purpose. Now, it focuses on one man, and there are legitimate questions as to the veracity to some of what has been presented as the true circumstances that led to the focus on the two individuals (Ammon and Ryan Bundy).
When was the last time that the common Cause uttered Cliven Bundy, Dwight Hammond, Steven Hammond, Pubic Land policy? What happened to the other defendants in Nevada and those convicted in Oregon? What happened to the focus that brought thousands together in their respective support to the Cause? Have these all been abandoned?
Some of those who have been staunch supporters of the elements of the Cause objected to what happened on Memorial Day weekend. They are accused of creating division. There are near relentless attacks on those who have steadfastly supported the original Cause, many from as early as April 2014. Though until that weekend, had uttered no objection to those who chose to add the prisoner abuse issue to the agenda.
Unfortunately, now we see the consequences of merging an additional purpose, to the detriment of the original Cause. Like an old battle flag, the Cause has become tattered and worn — and, perhaps, lost in the turmoil that the new battle brought to the game.

It Matters How You Stand ~ government's motion
Case 2:16-cr-00046-GMN-PAL Document 2064 Filed 06/15/17 Page 1 – 23
The United States, by and through the undersigned, respectfully moves in limine to preclude the defendants from 1) addressing in voir dire, opening statement, or closing argument, and/or 2) adducing or eliciting during direct or cross-examination, any information or argument that the defendants broadly characterize as “state of mind” evidence which, as shown below, amounts to nothing more than irrelevant personal opinions and beliefs about the BLM, BLM agents, and agent conduct. More specifically, the government seeks to preclude evidence, information, commentary, beliefs or opinions about the following:
• April 6, 2014, officer encounters with civilians during the arrest of Dave Bundy, including any testimony concerning, or video/audio depicting, that event;
• April 9, 2014, officer encounters with civilians during the convoy block, including any testimony concerning, or video/audio recordings depicting officer encounters with Ammon Bundy or Margaret Houston;
• Third-party/lay person testimony or opinion about the level of force displayed or used by law enforcement officers during impoundment operations, including operations on April 12, 2014;
• References to the opinion/public statement of Governor Brian Sandoval of April 8, 2014, and/or opinions registered by other political office holders or opinion leaders about BLM impoundment operations;
• References to First Amendment zones;
• References to Cliven Bundy’s grazing, water, or legacy rights on the public lands;
• References to infringements on First and Second Amendment rights; and
• References to punishment the defendants may face if convicted of the offenses.
As shown in the supporting Memorandum, comment and argument about such matters is nothing more, at bottom, than an improper attempt at jury nullification—that is, seeking to persuade jurors to acquit (or, hang) based upon political beliefs or values rather than upon the evidence. During Trial 1, defendants repeatedly made such nullification arguments and presented nullification opinions and beliefs; they did so primarily through defendant Parker’s testimony, but also through cross-examination of government witnesses and closing arguments, by improperly characterizing BLM conduct during impoundment operations as abusive or overreaching. While such characterizations are untrue to begin with, what is more important is that the imagined issue of federal “overreaching,” or violations of treasured rights, is flatly irrelevant to any element of the offenses charged or any possible defenses.
This Motion thus seeks to preclude irrelevant beliefs, opinions and comments about officer conduct during impoundment operations on April 6 and 9. There is no evidence that any of the officers either exceeded their authority or used excessive force. To adduce evidence of these events, whether on direct or cross-examination or in closing argument, unfairly prejudices the government by placing it in a position of having to prove a negative; that is, to explain or prove that the officers did not act unlawfully or otherwise supposedly overreach their authority.
In support of this Motion, the government submits the supporting Memorandum of Points and Authorities and reiterates all arguments from its previous motions in limine. See ECF Nos. 1390 and 1799.

Todd Engle traveled from Idaho to Bundy Ranch during the Bundy Protest in April 2014. The jury found him guilty of interstate travel to blah blah. Engle just turned 50, the recommended sentence is about 210 months, or the majority of the rest of his life in prison.
Engle arrived at the Bundy protest took a look, saw what was going on, took a picture and spent the rest of the time with the NHP. Judge Navarro denied him the right to defend himself after he mentioned Dan Love. His court appointed standby lawyer was ineffective in Engle's defence. Because he was denied due process of the law by the judge and prosecutors he must spend the next 20 years in jail basically just for being there.
People say the old bat Ginsberg should recuse herself for bias against Trump. Judge Navarro is clearly biased and manipulated by the wishes of Harry Reid. Yet she remains on the case.

I visited with Todd Engel on Friday. His sentencing recommendation is 210 to 262 months... or roughly 18 to 22 years. Todd turns 50 in July. He is looking at going to prison for the rest of his life... for protesting.
We are working on getting a copy of the sentencing recommendation from his standby counsel and will provide a full breakdown of how they came up with this figure. In sentencing, you are given a baseline "score" which can then go up or down based on various criteria. The scale ranges from zero (0) to forty three (43). They gave Todd thirty seven (37). I am told that the baseline came from Section 1951 (Hobbs Act Extortion), but he was convicted of Section 1952 (Interstate Travel in Aid of Extortion). Baseline: 18.
Enhancements:
+2 Threatening to injure or kidnap
+2 Obstruction of an investigation
+4 Monetary value of what Todd extorted: $1.5M
+5 Brandishing a weapon
+6 Assault on a prison official (we have no idea where this came from)
Total Score: 37 = 210 to 262 months.
We'll have a comprehensive breakdown as soon as we can get to the doc from his attorney.
What did Todd Engel do?
Traveled to Bundy Ranch, walked over to the bridge after someone said that protesters were going to be shot, took a photo, obeyed a command to disperse, and subsequently spent the duration of the event with NV Hwy Patrol.
It's all on aerial footage and dash cam video. NHP shook his hand and thanked him as he left.
For this... 18 to 22 years.
Tyranny is already law.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO THE BUNDY CASE? - THE SCOTUS HAS RULED NOT TO RULE IN DIMAYAS ---
Here is why this is important to us: Anthony Thomas Dephue says:
Dimaya is huge. It's an immigration case out of CA where a permanent resident (but not citizen) committed two burglaries. The immigration statutes prescribe deportation when non-citizens commit "violent felonies". The 9th Circuit invalidated 18 USC 16(b), which is nearly identical to the language in the Armed Career Criminal Act (which deals with sentencing for prior convictions) found in 18 USC 924(e). Under ACCA you could be convicted of a third crime and the Court could then go back and decide if the other convictions fell under this broad, vague umbrella of "violent felony"; if the Court decided (very subjectively) that your prior convictions were in fact "violent", you would be subjected to absurd minimum sentences.
So here's the progression:
(1) In the Johnson case, SCOTUS strikes down 18 USC 924(e)(2)(B)(ii), which reads in part: "[...] or otherwise involves conduct that presents a serious potential risk of physical injury to another; and".
(2) Based on this, Dimaya appeals to the 9th Circuit saying that 18 USC 16(b) is materially the same as ACCA. The 9th Circuit agrees. The Government appeals through "Writ of Certiorari", or basically a request to have the case reviewed. In DImaya, the Government wants to retain the ability to deport non-citizens based on a highly subjective standard of review.
So why do we care about immigration? I would say that you learned the answer in Kindergarten. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. We either have clear, concise, objective laws across the board or we accept a Government and Judiciary that wields immense power through their whims of opinion, the legality of which is bolstered by the subjectivity of some laws.
Tying it all together... 18 USC 924(c), which all Budy Ranch defendants are charged with (three separate times), has a residual clause that is nearly identical to ACCA and 16(b) (as used in immigration context).
We need SCOTUS to affirm the 9th Circuit in Dimaya to help pave the way for a review of how 924(c) is being applied across the entire judicial landscape. As Deb Jordan mentioned, people in Bundy Ranch not even in possession of firearms face the same absurd minimum sentence as those who did have firearms.
Those who did have firearms are being charged three separate times (as an enhancement) because the statute is vague enough to permit so.
The Government knows that 924(c):
(1) Ensures that you have less chance of pre-trial release because of the Bail Reform Act
(2) Ensures that a conviction will carry mandatory minimums that must be served consecutively
You have to take a long view here. A favorable outcome in Dimaya will open the door in the 9th Circuit (and in the District Courts therein) to initiate more challenges against 924(c).
There are two things that need to be reformed:
(1) The vague wording in 924(c) needs to be struck down.
(2) The practice of applying multiple 924(c)'s for the same incident needs to get reigned in.
Dimaya is a step in that direction.
Excerpt from article:
“The Court’s decision to punt this case to its next session was a missed opportunity to uphold the Constitution’s commitment to liberty and U.S. human rights treaty obligations that prohibit arbitrary detention,” Acer said in a statement. “It will leave many asylum seekers and immigrants locked up in U.S. immigration detention facilities for even longer periods of time. The decision allows U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to continue, in most parts of the country, to act as both jailer and judge in deciding whether to continue to hold an asylum seeker or migrant in a detention facility for longer than six months.”

Since the courts in the United States no longer operate on common law how is it they still use the 'stare decicis' common law practice of setting precedent?

MOTION TO DISMISS-There are cases the set "precedent" so judges don't have to keep revisiting similar situations in the courtroom. They have been litigated and become more or less the "gold standard" to which courts adjudicate by, many of these decisions made during appeal processes. This is good and bad for defendants, as both parties can use these cases to further generate support for their position. This motion clearly shows precedent having been established and supports grounds for dismissal of the charges against the tier three defendants going to trial again on July 10th, 2017-Rick Lovelein, Scott Drexler, Eric Parker and Steven Stewart.

Information within the wrongful death lawsuit brought by the Estate of Dr. James Redd against Dan Love and the federal government furthers the contention that he is a thief.by Marjorie Haun
The name ‘Dan Love’ has become synonymous with the arrogant attitudes and feckless, iron-fisted tactics so commonplace in federal administrative agencies. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) agent and sometimes director, Dan Love, is being investigated by the federal Inspector General’s Office (OIG) for unethical, possibly illegal activities related to incidents during his term as an investigative agent and law enforcement director in Utah and Nevada. But Dan Love is no aberration. He was acclaimed and rewarded for his strong-arm tactics following the tragic Utah antiquities sting, Operation Cerberus, and was put in charge of the outrageous Bundy Ranch raid in April of 2014. By that time, Love had already established a reputation for ruthlessness, and it’s very likely that then-BLM Chief and Harry Reid lapdog, Neil Kornze, appointed him precisely because of his willingness to overstep the bounds of legal authority and common decency.
With the Trump Administration taking serious steps to return the BLM to its proper mission and restore respectability to its public image, Interior Secretary Zinke is starting to address the agency’s nuisance personnel and policies. And although Dan Love is a vestige of Obama-era aggression and overreach, he’s a creation of the federal government, and it’s up to the feds to take care of their miscreant problem child.
FRR issued a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the OIG earlier this month, however, because the investigation is active, we are unable to obtain detailed information about the scope and implications of Love’s apparent criminal conduct. But the office did respond with this:
http://freerangereport.com/wp-conten.../06/foia11.jpg
http://freerangereport.com/wp-conten...7/06/FOIA1.jpghttp://freerangereport.com/wp-conten...7/06/FOIA2.jpg
Free Range Report (FRR) has documented Love’s sadistic behavior towards the family of the most tragic of his victims, Dr. James Redd, whom Love targeted, harassed, and drove to suicide over a tiny Native American bead. And Love’s thuggish tactics related to the Bundy Ranch standoff, and the Burning Man event of 2015, have been broadcast widely. But on May 19th an explosive report by Deb Jordan of the Pete Santilli Show, revealed that Love’s crimes are worse than previous reports have shown. It stated:
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, other “Federal Agents,” and one private contractor “Moqui Marbles” to keep as a trophy after the 2009 raid he and FBI Special Agent Greg Bretzing called, Operation Cerberus.
Although we have not been able to view the documents mentioned in the Pete Santilli Show report, all available information reinforces the supposition that the current Dan Love investigation is serious and far-reaching. In February, Love’s withholding and deletion of federal records–both, serious crimes–related to the Bundy Ranch raid and Burning Man event, were addressed in a letter from House Oversight Chairman, Jason Chaffetz (UT) to the OIG. It reads, in part:
I understand your office initiated this investigation in October of 2015 after receiving numerous complaints concerning Bureau of Land Management (BLM) employee Daniel Paul Love. The report documents numerous instances of troubling behavior exhibited by Love.
One such instance involved the intentional withholding of documents responsive to a congressional inquiry. Your report documents that a witness told your investigators that after receiving a congressional request for documents, the witness heard Dan Love “say to [another
BLM employee] that [said BLM employee] needed to make sure that he scrubbed the emails before he sent them, you know, flagging anything that looked inappropriate so that [Dan Love] could remove them if needed.”
In another part of the report, a witness testifies about how a BLM employee accessed and “deleted hundreds of documents” from a shared network. The deleted documents were “team documents” which served as the “historical record or administrative record” for a BLM authorized event. The witness stated the deleted documents were subject to the Federal Records Act, and were required, under the law not to be destroyed. If substantiated, these attempts to conceal documents and destroy federal records responsive to a congressional inquiry are unlawful, as it is a federal crime to obstruct a congressional investigation or falsify, conceal or cover up a material fact in one.
And it goes on:
Your report documents that Love allegedly attempted to influence the outcome of your investigation by coaching a witness in advance of an interview with your investigators. In your investigative report, you state a specific occasion when ” Dan Love called [a BLM employee] and… essentially gave [said BLM employee] talking points for any questions that may come up during his interview” with your office.
The report states Love provided that same BLM employee with “rationalizations,” leading the employee to believe Love was essentially telling them what to say in the interview. This allegation is problematic as it occurred after you had already initiated your investigation into Love’s behavior.
As a federal law enforcement officer, Love’ s actions have the potential to not only taint your investigation, but to seriously undermine the trust in BLM’ s law enforcement office and thwart congressional oversight of the Bureau. As such, I request that you investigate the specific allegations raised in your interviews of destruction of federal records, witness tampering, and obstruction of a congressional investigation.
Information within the wrongful death lawsuit brought by the Estate of Dr. James Redd against Dan Love and the federal government furthers the contention that he is a thief. FRR obtained a copy of the wrongful death lawsuit brought by the Estate of Dr. James Redd against Dan Love. Information in the lawsuit confirms that Dan Love kept some crude artifacts Ted Gardiner (the now-dead secret informant who helped entrap the Redds) acquired from Jeanne. The crude artifacts should have been entered into the evidence locker following the raid, but they were not. After searching for the artifacts the FBI found them in Dan Love’s car. An FBI document contained in the wrongful death lawsuit (exhibit 11) reveals that Dan Love was reprimanded and written up for keeping Jeanne Redd’s artifacts for his personal use, and failing to enter them property into evidence. When the Redd Family filed this, the federal government quickly had this document (exhibit 11) sealed so no one could see or read it but it is mentioned in the lawsuit itself. See below:
http://freerangereport.com/wp-conten...ibit11Redd.jpg
While the OIG investigates Love for his legal and ethical malfeasance, his human victims know of, and must live with the consequences of his appalling moral lapses. Through interviews with members of the Redd Family, FRR learned that Jeanne Redd, the widow of Dr. James Redd, once indicated that Dan Love confiscated her journal during the Operation Cerberus raid and then “proceeded to read it with great interest.” When Dan Love and the other federal agents involved in the raid rifled through her collection of artifacts, Love took special note of the items Jeanne was most fond of. A month after the raid and Dr. Redd’s death, Dan Love and the others came to Jeanne’s house to remove the remaining artifacts. While in her home, Dan Love said to Jeanne, while sneering, that he knew what her favorite artifact was. He then said it is the pendant that looks like a sprocket, and Jeanne said ‘yes.’
With evidence building of Dan Love’s criminal, unethical and immoral conduct, the ongoing investigation is likely to result in charges against the BLM’s very face of arrogance and raw power. Lives lost and suffering caused by his actions cannot be replaced or compensated for, but many victims of the overreach, dishonesty, violence, cruelty, and larceny of Dan Love hope that a measure of justice will soon be realized.

F.B.I. Agent Charged With Lying About Oregon Standoff Shooting
WASHINGTON — A member of the F.B.I.’s elite Hostage Rescue Team involved in a deadly confrontation last year with a prominent antigovernment protester in Oregon has been indicted on charges of lying and obstruction, according to federal court documents.
The indictment of the agent, Joseph Astarita, 40, is a blow to the reputation of the hostage team, which carries out the bureau’s riskiest missions in the United States and abroad.
Mr. Astarita was accused of lying to supervisors about firing his weapon in the effort to arrest Robert Finicum, known as LaVoy, who was killed during a standoff at a remote federal wildlife refuge in January 2016. Mr. Finicum led a small band of armed militants who said that the federal land had been improperly taken from area ranchers and demanded that it be returned to local or private control.
Mr. Astarita pleaded not guilty to all five counts on Wednesday in Portland, Ore., and was released pending court appearances. An F.B.I. spokesman declined to discuss the case but said Mr. Astarita had been assigned to administrative duty.
The case was being investigated by the Justice Department’s inspector general along with federal prosecutors in Oregon.
Mr. Finicum was protesting at the Malheur Federal Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Ore., on Jan. 2, 2016, where the show of defiance led to a lengthy standoff with the F.B.I. and the local authorities.
When Mr. Finicum left the refuge to attend a nearby meeting several weeks later, Oregon state troopers and several members of the F.B.I. team tried to stop his truck and another vehicle. After Mr. Finicum’s truck crashed into a snowbank, he fled and he was shot by state troopers after it appeared he tried to reach for a gun.
Local investigators determined that the shooting was justified but suspected that one of the F.B.I. agents had tried to cover up whether he had fired any shots. The bullet casings were never recovered.
Video footage recorded by a passenger in Mr. Finicum’s truck showed that two shots were fired after Mr. Finicum stepped out of the vehicle, one shattering its window. The authorities said the only person who could have fired those shots — based on an analysis of surveillance videos and photographs — was an F.B.I. agent.
Six rounds were fired by the state troopers, and two by the F.B.I., the investigators found. Three rounds struck Mr. Finicum, 54.
Prosecutors accused Mr. Astarita of misleading the Oregon authorities who were investigating the shooting.
Former team members remained perplexed about why Mr. Astarita would not acknowledge firing the rounds if he had done so. At worst, they said, he might have been kicked off the team and reassigned. They said Mr. Astarita was relatively new to the team when he was deployed to Oregon.
The Hostage Rescue Team was formed in 1983. Its members go through exhaustive training, working closely with military commando units such as the Navy SEALs and the Army’s Delta Force in Iraq and Afghanistan. The unit participated in the arrests of terrorists in Libya in 2014, including a suspect in the attack on a United States diplomatic compound in Benghazi.
In recent years, the team has been involved in a number of rescue operations in Alabama, Idaho and Georgia. But the unit has also been associated with the deadly raids in the 1990s in Waco, Tex., and in Ruby Ridge, Idaho.

FBI Agent Indicted for Lying About the Lavoy Finicum Murder (Video)
By Voice of Reason · Thursday, June 29th, 2017
There is zero question that law enforcement in this country is out of control. Day by day, America becomes ever more of a police and surveillance state, and the worst part is that many Americans are perfectly okay with this. And in the latest controversy, the FBI agent who was involved in the killing of Robert ‘Lavoy’ Finicum has been indicted on allegations of making false statements with the intent of obstructing justice.
In the following video, Today’s Yellow Snow (formerly Right Wing News) looks at the details surrounding Finicum’s death. The official law enforcement story was that Finicum was reaching for a gun, and while he never presented the handgun, video shows he was reaching for his left side where the gun was holstered. But a new theory has emerged; Finicum was reaching for his left side because he had been shot there. This blows further holes in the official law enforcement story. Will Finicum finally get justice when the truth emerges?

The Free Thought Project Reports:
Bend, OR — Late Tuesday evening, it was announced that an unnamed FBI agent involved in the killing of Robert “LaVoy” Finicum has been indicted. The agent is accused of lying about shooting at Finicum in 2016 when officers arrested the leaders of an occupation of a federal wildlife refuge in rural Oregon.
In March of 2016, it was announced that multiple FBI agents were under investigation for their role in the death of Finicum. For over a year, Finicum’s family has waited for answers, and on Tuesday night, they received a glimpse into the corruption surrounding the death of their beloved father and husband.
An FBI agent now faces allegations of making false statements with the intent of obstructing justice. According to reports, he is to be named on Wednesday.

According to the Oregonian, investigators concluded that one agent fired at Finicum’s truck, hitting it in the roof and missing on the second shot. A state trooper later described to investigators seeing two rifle casings in the area where the FBI agents were posted. But detectives called to investigate didn’t find the casings, police reports indicated.
The Deschutes County sheriff alleged as Finicum left his truck, an FBI agent shot twice at Finicum, but none of the FBI hostage team members said they discharged their firearms. It appears that the agent attempted to hide the fact that they shot at him and now they are being called to task for it.
Federal law prohibits “knowingly and willfully” making any false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or representation or concealing information — yet that is exactly what happened.

Since the shooting, which was captured on video from the FBI’s birdseye view, there have been many theories surrounding the death of Finicum.
According to the official story, Lavoy Finicum was killed by officers because they had no other choice as he was reaching for a gun in his left pocket. Officials later found a loaded 9 mm semi-automatic handgun in that pocket.
It is evident from the video that Finicum never presented the handgun. However, we can clearly see him reaching for his left side.
In a photo of the autopsy report, taken by RT’s Simone Del Rosario at the press conference last year, and the video from inside the truck, there is a now an alternative reason, outside of going for a gun, as to why Finicum was reaching toward his left side — he was shot there.
The video proves that officers or agents opened fire on the vehicle prior to Finicum exiting it.
The footage from inside the vehicle shows that Finicum could have been shot with his hands up as he was exiting the vehicle.

Seemingly, Finicum’s intentions were to draw fire away from the truck — and that is exactly what he did. This cost him his life.
The last scene in the video shows a terrified little girl, Victoria Sharp, the 18-year-old gospel singer emerging from the SUV, her hands upraised, and her body painted by laser sights.
One targeted her head, the other the center of her chest.

Last year, all the police officers involved in the shooting of Finicum were found to be justified. Coincidentally, also last year, the standoff leaders were acquitted for the takeover of the refuge.
The group of men who seized the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, in rural Oregon were found not guilty last fall, vindicating brothers Ammon and Ryan Bundy after the 41-day standoff that brought national focus to the long-running dispute over federal control of rural land in the Western United States.
DO NOT MISS: Trump Asks Why Intelligence Committee Isn’t Probing The Clintons
According to a report in by the Oregonian:
Ammon Bundy, older brother Ryan Bundy and five other defendants were acquitted last fall of conspiracy and weapons charges. A second trial of four other occupiers resulted in split verdicts earlier this year, with defendants Jason Patrick and Darryl Thorn convicted of conspiracy and others convicted of damaging government property and misdemeanor charges, including trespass.
Finicum’s widow, Jeanette Finicum has announced plans earlier this year to sue both the Oregon State Police and the FBI for violating her late husband’s civil rights.
The suit will allege that the FBI fired at Finicum “when he’s getting out of his car to surrender,” Finicum’s attorney Brian Claypool said. “What’s critical is he’s not even out of his door and there are gunshots blowing through his windows. That’s excessive force 101.”
This indictment will most assuredly be used by her attorney in making their case.

$10,000 Reward Offered For Info In The Bundy Trial Just The Beginning Of Effort To Obtain Justice
This plan was conceived in order to see that Justice is afforded to the Bundy family, others who came to the Bundy Ranch in 2014 to support them, and journalist Pete Santilli. Pete and the Bundys have been held without bail in in maximum security federal custody since the day the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge came to an end with the violent killing of LaVoy Finicum and the arrest of the members of the Bundy family and their supporters 516 days ago.
I have been watching what has been going on in the kangaroo court presided over by Judge Gloria Navarro, nominated to the bench by “Dirty Harry” Reid, and all I can see is a political appointee trying to cover the ass of her benefactor, a man who sold bits of Nevada off to foreign investors. Judge Navarro is lording over the courtroom like it is her own little fiefdom, treating defendants as serfs whose rights are solely dependent on her whims and mercy, even insisting that these non-violent men be brought before her in chains, despite a Ninth Circuit ruling that the practice should only be used in the most extreme cases.

Jim Fetzer- Free Pete Santilli and the Bundy ranchers.
http://youtu.be/yz_k-__hyk8
https://youtu.be/yz_k-__hyk8
It's mighty big of Dr. Fetzer to put out a call for releasing Pete Santilli. I remember a few years back, Pete Santilli pulled a really dishonest trick on Dr. Fetzer and subsequently Dr. Morgan Reynolds and his associate, Dr. Judy Wood, joined up [and ganged up] with the Pete Santilli radio show against Dr. Fetzer's 9-11 work, a radio show that kept getting kicked off a succession of networks.
I guess Dr. Fetzer is not afraid of being targeted by some of the evil entities that pull off the false flags and who probably are steering the miscarriage of justice in the Bundy case. He always has provided his email address and appears in frequent public forums. I admire his forthrightness.
He is lending his professional stature and reputation and his approximate eleven year work in exposing the facts of several major false flag events to call for honest investigation and justice regarding these events.
We really are at some major turning point as far as the enlightenment of the people about real world history. It happens at the same time that there is a major collapse in U S and world economies. What is very sad is that this is also a time of deep ideological differences among the American people and that condition is part of "the Plan."

Government will attempt to portray Bundy Supporters as a group intent on undermining the U.S. government in Bundy retrial.
This High Country News is a backpacker, environmentalist organization. Their writers usually don't give the ranchers and miners much support, but this write-up looks like a reprint from Reuters and doesn't show the obvious bias towards Bundys that some of their earlier reports have.

Bundy Ranch ‘gunmen’ face retrial in Las Vegas
New evidence links defendants to other anti-government gatherings in the West.
Tay Wiles NEWSJuly 6, 2017
Four men who took part in the 2014 standoff between the Bureau of Land Management and the rancher Cliven Bundy face a retrial next week. The defendants, who are accused of helping thwart the government’s attempts to impound Bundy’s cattle, received a hung jury in April. U.S. attorneys now get another shot at proving their case against the four men — Eric Parker, Steven Stewart, Ricky Lovelien and Scott Drexler — who face a raft of charges, including conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and assaulting federal agents. They face up to 100 years in prison.

Protesters gather near the BLM base camp under a highway overpass near Bunkerville, Nevada where federal rangers had seized 1,000 of Cliven Bundy’s cattle that he had been illegally grazing on BLM land. Some of the gunmen who came to support Bundy are being retried for their involvement in the standoff starting next week.

Their trial may become even more complicated this time around. New evidence that prosecutors might bring in suggests the standoff in Bunkerville, Nevada, was not an isolated incident but a piece of a larger phenomenon. Prosecutors aim to show that the defendants have ongoing ties to militia groups, by describing two similar incidents in Oregon and Montana in 2015. According to court documents, prosecutors allege that the participation of Drexler and Parker in these events is “inextricably intertwined” with the conspiracy charges in the Bunkerville trial.
One of the events, in Josephine County, Oregon, centered on a dispute between two owners of the Sugar Pine gold claim and the BLM. When the agency told the miners their claim was out of compliance, and they needed to file a plan of operations, the two men asked for help from a local chapter of the Oath Keepers, a militant anti-government group.
That April, the Oath Keepers launched what they called “Operation Gold Rush.” They gathered for several weeks and used armed patrols to guard the mining claim because they said they feared the government would try to seize the property. The group put out calls on social media for others to join. Hundreds of people from around the country, many of whom were part of the so-called “patriot” movement, came to support the cause. Drexler and Parker were among them, as members of the Idaho III%, another militant group, according to court documents.
The second event prosecutors say they might introduce an event that took place just a few months after the Sugar Pine standoff. When two owners of the White Hope Mine claim outside the town of Lincoln, Montana, entered into a dispute with the Forest Service, Oath Keepers and Idaho III% again showed up. Drexler and Parker were allegedly among them. (The Forest Service argued that the miners had “illegally opened a road, cut down trees, built a garage and denied the public the right to access the White Hope mine.”)
These events may seem far removed from the 2014 standoff in the southern Nevada desert, in which Bundy supporters forced the BLM to abandon its impoundment of trespass cattle. In fact, the Sugar Pine and White Hope gatherings were outgrowths of Bunkerville, in part made possible by social networks forged at Bundy Ranch. Many of the same groups and individuals showed up in person or offered support via social media. All three incidents were an expression of a growing anti-federalist movement that often erupts around public land and natural resource disputes.
By casting this net across the broader movement, prosecutors might be able to prove defendants’ longstanding intentions to undermine the government. According to court documents, the evidence may help convince jurors that the defendants did not show up to Bundy Ranch on a whim.
Meanwhile, the government is also trying to preclude defendants from testifying on their personal beliefs, to explain their “state of mind” at the time of the Nevada standoff, including “their beliefs about the First Amendment, the BLM, their alternative reality view of the world, and a host of other irrelevant matters,” according to court documents. In response, defense attorneys said that prohibiting discussion of their clients’ state of mind “undermines fundamental fairness and due process, while prohibiting the defendants from presenting their theory of defense.” The judge has yet to rule on the government’s motion.
In a trial last fall related to the armed occupation of Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Ammon Bundy spent nearly 10 hours on the witness stand describing his beliefs on topics ranging from the Constitution to public-lands management. The jury in that case found Bundy, who lead the occupation, not guilty.
The Nevada retrial begins July 10 and is expected to last between seven and nine weeks. Two additional defendants originally charged in the case — Gregory Burleson and Todd Engel — were convicted of eight and two charges each, in April, and will not be retried. The current trial is the first of three related to the Bunkerville standoff. The second trial will not begin until the first is concluded. It will feature Cliven Bundy and his sons, Ryan and Ammon. Six more Bundy supporters who participated in the Nevada standoff will be tried in a third case, for which a date has yet to be set.
