Bundy Trial Update: Why the Governement is Doing ‘Whatever it Takes’ to Keep 1000s of Pages Sealed.
Today Cliven Bundy will have been in jail 661 days. Think about that number and what it represents—the missed birthday parties with grandchildren, family vacations, holidays and evening prayers with his wife, Carol.
The other side to consider is 661 days of prison handcuffs, demeaning strip searches and treatment intended to humiliate.
This case is about an out of control BLM and a government determined to hide its abuses. Cliven simply exercised his constitutional rights, which was too much for some BLM administrators who were accustomed to simply getting whatever they wanted.
We want transparency. All the ‘sealed’ documents need to be made public. The people have a right to know what their own government was saying and doing during the BLM triggered standoff at Bunkerville.

Happy times for Shawna Cox and Ammon Bundy who have both appeared on The Common Sense Show as they talked about their objectives in Burns, Oregon. The Bundy’s have won.
My email “blew up” last night with the revelation that the Bundy’s are going to be released. Many in the Independent Media, such as Debra Cochran the host of the Blog Talk radio show Spread-the-Word when she stated the following:How did you know a DAY BEFORE…that the Bundy’s would be released? They didn’t even know!She’s right, the Bundys’ did not know, but key members of the FBI did.
An FBI Agent Told Me So…
Any media type that works in the business for very long will not last if they do not protect their sources.
I had the information on the pending release of the Bundy’s almost 72 hours before it happened. I was not permitted to provide the source, or affiliated agency, of the information at that time. I was told by my source to find confirming information, elsewhere, but the release was imminent. When I was unable to fully validate the release in the Independent Media, I published the affirmative statement that the Bnndy’s will be released. My first report, published on my Youtube Channel, I reported the story as something that was imminent and confirmed. That was because I believed I was getting solid backup for what the FBI agent told me. Here was original report which was filed on Youtube on November 27, 2017 at 8pm Mountain:
http://youtu.be/Ps_r5oWoUrk
The following email is a sample of the communications I am receiving after the announced intention to release the Bundy’s and the firestorm of criticsm that followed when the release did not happen on the first days of the report.Dave,Some on my YouTube channel viciously attacked me when the release did not come that day (11/27) and I never said what day they were going to be released and even my source did not know the day. Now we all know the truth. My FBI source, of which I can now anonymously reference, was correct. The Bundy’s are soon to be free. Although Cliven Bundy has chosen to remain in jail until all of the accused are freed. I am not surprised because all of the Bundy’s have the highest amount of integrity.
I owe you an apology! My goodness you were reporting on the Bundy’s being released from prison before it happened. No one else knew till today. I am so sorry I did not believe you! I hope you get my message. Very good work! I follow the Bundy’s closely and the family seemed to be surprised of this too. Anyway it is great news! Thank you and I will not doubt you again! Karen H.
Here is the confirming report to the release of the Bundy men.
From the LA Times:…whose standoff with federal officials made him a darling of the anti-government movement, can now remain free on bond as his trial on felony weapons and conspiracy charges continues.How Did Bundy’s Attorney Not Know?
Bundy says no thanks.
After U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro granted the order to release him Wednesday, The 71-year-old rancher promptly refused it.
He’d rather stay in jail, said John Lamb, a Bundy supporter, until he and his fellow defendants are exonerated and free men.
It was the latest odd twist in the 3-week-old trial of Bundy, two of his sons — Ammon and Ryan Bundy — and Ryan Payne in federal court in Las Vegas. The request to allow the men to post bail came from Bundy attorneys. Last month Navarro agree to let Ryan Bundy, who is representing himself in court, out of jail on pretrial release.
Cliven Bundy’s stay in jail could last for months, however, as jurors have been told to expect the trial to extend into early next year. Lamb called the judge’s decision “exciting news.”
“It was a victory in the right direction,” he said.
Ammon Bundy will be released Thursday at about 9 a.m. Payne’s release will be within the next few days.
One of Ammon Bundy’s attorneys, Morgan Philpot, said his client was “a little shocked” at the judge’s ruling.
How did Morgan Philpot, the Bundy’s attorney, not know about the impending release and I did? The release of the Bundy’s had no relationship to their legal defense. The release of the Bundy’s was orchestrated by trusted people working in the DOJ. Let’s just say they have some perceived dirt on Judge Navarro, a friend and fellow”elbow rubber” with globalist Senator, Harry Reid.
One has to be cognizant of the fact that this judge was not allowing the Bundy’s to use the Constitution as their defense in justifying their defiance against the BLM and the Federal government as a whole. And now she releases the Bundy’s? What changed?
Let’s just say that Navarro was legally targeted, subsequently compromied and is attempting to stay one step ahead of the burning bridge. I am not permitted to list the specific allegations against the judge because they could still come into play if the DOJ were to prosecute. Let’s just say there is criminal behavior and then there is the facilitation of criminal behavior resulting from malfeasance of office. This much I am permitted to say at this time.
To my friend, talk show host Randy Yarbrough, you were really close to the truth and you are to be commended for getting that close without the benefit of inside information. I am sorry that could not tell my closest associates what I knew on 11/27 and I offer my public apology. However, my word is my bond.
The Deep State Is Not Dead but They Are In Critical Condition
If the Bundy’s had remained under prosecution, very damaging information would have come to light courtesy of the several FBI agents who have a conscience. Some of these FBI agents are now former agents who resigned when Comey refused to prosecute Hillary over the emails. They should be reinstated. From this event, I learned how many enemies of the Deep State actually work in government.
The real story here, as joyous as the event is, does not have to do with the release of the Bundy’s, it is has to do with what is coming next.
Conclusion
The behind the scenes neutering of Judge Navarro, resulting in the release of the Bundy’s, was only phase one. Phase two is already underway. Phase two has to do with the Deep State response to the impending release of the Bundy’s. The Deep State is planning massive civil unrest so that the country cannot enjoy the perceived victory over tyranny. Some National Guard Units are going on alert by Friday. I have to wait for more information reaches me, before I publish more on the Bundy release fallout. However, we looking at total chaos in this country. The pieces are falling into place (eg McCains changing injuries, Hillary’s boot, the facial bruises of Harry Reid et al, etc). Did I say the civil war already started. This is only Part One.

Plea Agreements, Convictions and Prosecutorial Misconduct
by Terry Noonkester
Prosecutorial misconduct has affected the USA v Cliven Bundy trials in Las Vegas in regards to pretrial detention, convictions, plea agreements, and sentencing. Just within the first few weeks of the Tier I group trial, there is evidence that the prosecution has used false information to keep the defendants incarcerated. Other evidence proves the Bundy’s and militia leaders did not make false statements to incite the protest, possibly eliminating at least one of the criminal charges. Due to the serious affect of the mishandling of evidence by the prosecution, the defense attorney’s continued to make motions for a mistrial and dismissal of the case.
The prosecutions misrepresentation’s and withholding of evidence may have started by influencing the grand jury to indict on a total of sixteen charges. Misrepresentation at the grand jury level could possibly void the basis of even plea agreements accepted by some Bundy Ranch Protest defendants. If a criminal charge is proven to be based on false government claims, can the government continue to enforce that charge in a plea agreement? According to contract law, an agreement based on false information is not binding nor enforceable.
There has also been extreme pressure applied to the defendants to accept plea agreements. Historically, prosecutors across the country gained leverage when bargaining with defendants after the passage of the Bail Reform Acts of 1964 and 1984. These acts allowed federal judges to deny bail to defendants when they were indicted for noncapital cases.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...en-200x300.jpg
Cliven Bundy
The USA v Bundy case was defined by the court as a ‘complex case’ giving the prosecution up to five years to complete the trials and still conform with the speedy trial requirements. Pre-trial detention of such great duration fosters desperation in the defendants, causing many to buckle under the pressure when a plea bargain is offered.
Plea bargains account for about 97% of convictions in federal courts. Defendants decide to take a plea agreement because prosecutors “stack” charges to build a terrible potential sentence. Innocent people are intimidated into pleading guilty rather than face the “trial penalty”. The Supreme Court made stacking charges easy for the prosecution since the court ruled that the government may separate an incident into two or more crimes if each charge contains an element that the other does not. This concept cripples the Double Jeopardy Clause in the 5th Amendment; “No person shall be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.”
Also, the use of conspiracy charges make each individual responsible for a co-conspirators actions and criminal charges. The conspiracy charge is the reason the prosecution can levy weapon charges against defendants who did not carry a weapon. When an individual is committing a crime with a gun, it is called a 924c violation. Only applicable in federal cases, a Section 924(c) requires a series of mandatory minimum terms of imprisonment upon conviction. If the firearm is brandished or discharged, or if there is a repeat offense, the punishment is more severe. Twenty-five-year mandatory minimum terms for multiple offenses must be served consecutively and may exceed 100 years.
When the federal government uses these laws in combination, they can create an overwhelming power play against defendants. Therefore, many defendants that consider themselves innocent will take a plea agreement. They do not want to risk having a jury trial that may result in decades in prison. After being in a prison facility for months or even years waiting for trial, they are desperate to be free.
The Bundy Ranch Protest defendants were all charged with assault with a deadly weapon on a federal law enforcement officer, threatening a federal law enforcement officer, obstruction of justice, extortion of federal officers, and use and brandishing of a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, conspiracy, and aiding and abetting. If any charges are not acquitted by a full twelve jurors, the judge may declare a mistrial and then retry the case, taking many more months or even years.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...tt-150x150.jpg
Scott Drexler
Of the 19 men arrested for the Bundy Ranch Protest, the ones that accepted a plea agreement were Blaine Cooper, Jerry Delumus, Pete Santilli, Eric Parker, Scott Drexler, and Micah McGuire.
Blaine Cooper pled guilty on August, 25, 2016. He wasn’t physically present for the standoff, but was charged with making false statements to incite others to participate in the protest. Blaine Cooper also plead guilty to assault on a federal officer.
Blaine Cooper stated; “I am going to do whatever I can to pull my plea agreement here in the State of Nevada,…I’ve clearly been railroaded,” Cooper continued. “I am disgusted and disturbed that my attorney would allow this to happen to his client, and this is why the federal government has such a high conviction rate because they plea people out for crimes they didn’t commit and put them in fear, as the prosecution has put me in fear.”
Gerald “Jerry” DeLemus was also not present until after the Bundy Ranch Protest was over. He also accepted a plea agreement on August 25, 2016. Delumus was sentenced to 87 months in federal prison on two charges; conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States and interstate travel in aid of extortion. After sentencing, Jerry Delumus has been moved to the federal prison at Fort Devens in Ayer, Massachusetts.
On December 5th, 2017, Delumus stated; “Family members and friends of those that were in Bunkerville were followed, had their phones tapped and their social media accounts monitored. Informants or agents were even imbedded as ‘friends’ on Facebook or in other groups that were in any way associated with Cliven Bundy… Some with life threatening diseases were threatened with incarceration at the same time their friends or family that were now being held without bail were offered ‘plea agreements’. This was done so as to pressure innocent people to plead guilty to charges they knew were false. This sounds more like China or North Korea than America.”
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...-2-150x150.jpe
Pete Santilli
Peter Santilli pled guilty to a felony count of conspiracy for obstruction of justice. That charge is based on his blocking a BLM truck on April 9, 2014 near the Bundy Ranch in Nevada. Santilli’s recommended sentence is “time served” and 3 years of supervised release plus 15 points that could result in a higher sentence. He signed the agreement the morning after the October 1st, 2017 Massacre in Las Vegas. He must return to Las Vegas for sentencing in 2018.
Peter Santilli had repeatedly refused plea agreements in the Portland, Oregon case, stating that he wanted his day in court. The prosecution in Portland dismissed all charges against him from the Malheur Refuge Protest just a week before that trial began. The government then transported him to Nevada to face charges for the Bundy Ranch Protest.
Eric Parker and Scott Drexler would have been tried three times if they didn’t take a plea bargain. Eric Parker and Scott Drexler each pled guilty in late October, 2017 to a single count of obstruction of a court order. A Sentencing hearing is scheduled for February, 2018.
A hearing for Micah McGuire was held the morning of November 14th, 2017. McGuire was in the last group of Bundy Ranch protesters who’s trial date cannot even be determined until the present group has been tried, and any mistrials from charges not fully acquitted or convicted are legally finalized (possibly through more trials). Micah McGuire plead guilty to two felonies; conspiracy and impeding an officer. He has been released prior to sentencing, which will be February 16th, 2018. He has served 20 months of a sentence that could go as high as six years.
Shortly after watching McGuire’s hearing and just before the start of his own trial, Ryan Bundy said; “Your honor, I think it is ludicrous that defendants who have pled guilty through a plea deal are rewarded with freedom from pretrial detention, but if defendants maintain their innocence, they are punished with prison prior to any conviction. It is upside down. We are not presumed innocent, if we have to spend time in prison without any conviction.”
The new evidence discovered and dialogue allowed in the opening statements in the third Las Vegas trial could have made a big difference in the outcome of the first two trials. The fact that Judge Navarro is at least listening to the defense attorney’s complaints about prosecutorial misconduct is a great improvement to how she had previously denied so many complaints in the first two trials. These discussions are primarily held in “sealed hearings”, so the jury knows nothing about the struggle the current legal team is having when trying to enter evidence regarding the misconduct of the BLM and FBI.
Greg Burleson was convicted of 8 of 10 charges; assaulting federal officers, threatening federal officers, extortion, using a firearm in crimes of violence, and related offenses. He was sentenced on July 26, 2017 to 68 years in prison and transferred to Allenwood Penitentiary, White Deer, Pennsylvania.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...l1-150x150.jpg
Todd Engel
Todd Engel of Idaho has been found guilty on 2 charges; obstruction of justice and interstate travel to aid in extortion. He is still detained and waiting for sentencing.
As the third trial proceeds, more is revealed about government overreach and prosecutorial misconduct. Greg Burleson’s and Todd Engel’s convictions must be questioned in light of all the evidence withheld in their trial. Plea deals need to be reevaluated to make sure that these men haven’t pled guilty to a criminal charge that will later found to be fabricated by the government.

Is the Bunkerville Trial of the Century Finished?
By Shari Dovale
The Las Vegas trial of Cliven Bundy, and others, began this morning after a long break of over a week. However, only about an hour and half into the hearing saw Judge Gloria Navarro release the jury for the remainder of today and tomorrow, later extending the time. She made comments indicating the jury may not be coming back at all. “The jury won’t be called back before [December 20th], if they are needed,” Judge Navarro said.
What brought this on?
Judge Navarro discussed in open court the numerous violations made by the prosecution and the agents of the BLM and FBI in relation to this case.
Multiple Brady violations topped the list, with many exculpatory items not being turned over to the defense teams. Items such as the Threat Assessment reports, names of potential witnesses, reports from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) reprimanding the BLM for not enforcing the court orders for years, and many more.
There are at least seven Brady violations the judge referred to in court today. Additionally, there were violations of evidence not being turned over in a timely manner, which are referred to as ‘Giglio’ violations, pointing to the court decisions of Giglio v. United States .
After the jury was sent home, the courtroom was cleared of spectators so the principle players could immediately go into another of the now infamous super-secret sealed hearings.
This court trial has become known for their overuse of the sealed hearing rules. A majority of the evidence has been sealed from the public view, bringing questions as to why the government is hiding so much information from the citizens. Our Constitution guarantees public trials, yet the government does not hold themselves accountable to the US Constitution, as their representative so testified.
They seem to only believe in transparency when it suits their agenda, and the Bundy Ranch Protest trial is quickly falling far from their agenda.
Before long, several defendants and defense attorneys exited the courthouse with news that the court is in recess until December 20th. The sealed hearings are over for the day and the prosecution has been given over a week to prepare their responses to the plethora of motions filed by the defense.
Many of these motions have been sealed, as they refer to bad acts by the government, and this judge continues to try to hide those facts from the public. She has made it her mission to not allow the government to look bad in front of the jury, and she hopes, in the public perception.

Why Cliven Bundy won’t leave the federal lockup. By Michael Stickler, Cliven Bundy’s former jail mate
Why won’t Cliven Bundy leave the Federal Lock-Up?
CLIVEN KNOWS HIS RIGHTS, KNOWS THE HISTORY OF THAT LAND, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, IS WILLING TO FIGHT FOR IT.

Why won’t Cliven Bundy leave the Federal Lock-Up?
By Michael Stickler
As the trial continues, I sit in the courtroom’s gallery. I can’t help but notice that the only press representatives there to cover the trial are from the progressive-leaning mainstream media (MSM) and environmental specialty websites. Save one: a local Fox reporter, who admitted to having never been in a courtroom before.
Why are the progressive media investing their financial resources in following this story? What are they desperately trying to prevent – or – achieve? Why is the progressive-leaning MSM the predominant news source? I pondered these questions to myself.
Alternately, the Bundy supporters have taken up the conservative slack with social media coverage and unconventional forms of journalism, like Internet radio and the like. These men and women soldier on with their newfound responsibilities, audience access, and communication capabilities, reporting a story of incredible importance.
Clearly, each side has a skewed point from the worldview that favors their literal side of the courtroom: the Bundy supporters sit directly behind the defendants on the right in solidarity and the MSM sits on the behind the prosecution – on the left. (To be fair, that is where the media’s reserved seats are.) Each roots for his or her own side and scoffs – sometimes privately and sometimes not so much – at the other. This is so obvious that Judge Navarro reminds the court each morning saying, “This is not a sporting event,” and cautions the audience against any type of verbal or physical gestures indicating approval (or disapproval) of the attorneys battling out the case.
Don’t get me wrong; our justice system seeks the truth through such an adversarial approach and it’s expected that both sides of the aisle in the courtroom should be opposed in their views. And many of those views have been sharpened by those who have invested much time in observation of our legal system, a system slowly fumbling along in it’s attempt to search for justice in this case.
To the credit of both sides; however, they have reached a détente while waiting in line to enter the court or when passing by protesters stationed outside the courtroom. But what is unmistakable is the complete distrust that each side has for the other. Nevertheless, they remain civil (excluding the near-fistfight in the courtroom between two reporters from opposing, local media outlets). But, they don’t trust one another; it’s enough – even superficially – to attempt to comprehend the other’s view. And, from the research I have done, rightfully so. Neither side gives the other a fair hearing, nor represents the opposing side with intellectual honesty.
Much of the ‘division’ has become the story itself, for a few of the MSM outlets; ironically, most of which don’t even bother to attend the trial – although that doesn’t stop them from editorializing on the courtroom’s activities.
This divide deeply concerns me.
In the vast middle of all the ire and distrust, the majority of the American people rely on these outlets to get fair reporting of the newsworthy items concerning their lives.
At issue in the Federal courtroom in Las Vegas Nevada, are your rights. Not solely Cliven Bundy’s rights – because possibly, the decision can affect the rights of all Americans to own and maintain property.
Property rights are threatened, lost, and overrun by the government on a daily basis. This should concern you and me. If the public only knew what was actually at stake for us all when relying on “trustworthy” reporting, the battle of Cliven’s may find a different result.
Cliven Bundy has refused pre-trial release stating that he won’t leave until all of the Bundy 19 (his other co-defendants) are released. Nor will he leave until the government dismisses the charges against each of them and admits they were wrong to charge them in the first place.
That is quite a stand.
His decision flies in the face of his critics who say he just wants attention. One might reason that he would get more attention if he was free to gain it.
Trust me: Federal lock-up is no place for a man like Cliven Bundy, a man who desires true freedom more than anything. But, he wants that freedom for each of us.
What if Cliven Bundy is right?Now, wait … before you dismiss that question with a waive of a hand because you think he’s a scofflaw, opportunists, or whack-a-doo (as I once did), stop and think about his argument from your own life experience.
Here is a hypothetical illustration:
One landowner, Fred, has an easement for access across neighboring landowner’s (Tom’s) land. Without that easement, Fred would not be able to legally access his own land, in essence, making it worthless. So, an easement right is recorded to Fred to use part of Tom’s land to access his (Fred’s) land. It becomes Fred’s right of access, not a permit and not a lease. Ultimately, it becomes an asset of Fred’s, making his land more valuable.
Now, imagine the reaction of Fred, who holds this easement right, if Tom now wants to charge Fred rent for the use of that easement and only allow Fred to use his (Fred’s) easement a couple of times a year – or, better yet, Tom wants to lease to Fred the right to cross his land (a right Fred already owns with his recorded easement) … and this lease would allow Tom full access to the all of Fred’s other lands and even encumbered them!
You can see that Fred would certainly resist this new proposal of Tom’s – to rent or lease from Tom less access than Fred already owns and additionally, give away the access rights to this and all of Fred’s other lands to Tom?
But essentially, that is just what the BLM (Tom in the scenario above – sorry to all of my readers named ‘Tom’) has proposed – even insisted should be the new relationship between the BLM and the easement owners – the ranchers – just because the BLM is really big and blustery and thinks and says that they can do it.
In this debate, the uninformed often quote back to the Taylor Grazing Act of 1934 to repudiate such an easement claim as the ranchers may have. Selectively quoting from the act:…the creation of a grazing district or the issuance of a permit…shall, not create any right, title, interest, or estate in or to the lands.But noticeably absent from that out-of-context, selectively-quoted provision, is the term ‘easement over the federal land’ which the Act specifically recognizes – both with grazing rights and rights of way / easement rights by stating:
Whenever any grazing district is established pursuant to this Act, the Secretary (of the Interior) shall grant to owners of land adjacent to such district, upon application of any such owner, such rights-of-way over the lands included in such district for stock-driving purposes as may be necessary for the convenient access by any such owner to marketing facilities or to lands not within such district owned by such person or upon which such person has stock-grazing rights, …” (Emphasis added.)Also, while the Secretary of the Interior was assigned authority to issue permits and enter cooperative agreements under Section 4, the Secretary is bound by Section 6 of the Act, which states:
Nothing herein shall restrict the acquisition, granting or use of permits or rights of way within grazing districts under existing law; or ingress or egress over the public lands in such districts for all proper and lawful purposes.(Emphasis added.)Cliven believes that these rights bring intrinsic value to his family and to his way of life as a rancher. In fact, without them, his way of life ceases. It’s no wonder he is fighting so hard to maintain them. It’s hard for most of us modern Americans to understand what the big deal is; because all you need to do is open a newspaper and you will find yet-another family business shuttering its doors. But farming and ranching are different. Farming and ranching are more than a good idea that has had its time in the sun and now is no longer needed.
Families like the Bundy’s, have generation upon generation of family who settled this land. Every nail in every fence to every shingle of every building has a history and tells a unique story. The animals themselves have generational history and a man like Cliven can see the great, great grandsire of a cow in the very step of that momma’s baby calf.
But it is even more than all the history and connection to the land, it is a pride that says, as these farmers and ranchers would put it, “I am making a difference; I am feeding people.”
After all, we still, and will continue to, need to eat!
“Others think I’m a joke,” Cliven said. “But I don’t care what anyone says. This is the life I want to lead. I’m a cowboy and always will be.”Without men and women like Cliven – who did not and have not given up for easier lives – the rest of us would suffer real and tangible consequences.
Cliven’s story, unlike many of those ‘closed family business’ articles in the newspaper, is not one of failure in the face of fashion- or technology-risky markets, products, or investment business decisions. Rather, it is, in fact, the result of an act of theft by fraud: Someone is trying to take something from the Bundy’s that is not theirs to take, and making the victim think that it is theirs to take.
No wonder he is fighting mad; no wonder he won’t leave lock-op until the government admits they are wrong and drops the Bundy 19’s indictments.
The real difference between Cliven Bundy and the 50 or so neighbors put out of business by the BLM, is that Cliven knows his rights, knows the history of that land, and most importantly, is willing to fight for it. He told me once, “Mike, the State of Nevada is who should be fighting this out with the Feds, not me.”
But I guess when a bully comes into your yard looking for your brother, then faces off with you because your brother is not there, you are the one who gets the scuffle.

A Tale of Two Trials: Bundy Ranch and Pentagon Papers
by Elias Alias
December 11 2017
(TMM) – In following the Bundy trial in Las Vegas, I have revisited a story I first read in 2002. That story is about a trial which happened in 1973. That trial gained world-wide press coverage and shocked the powerful elite in the Nixon Administration. That trial seems to me today to be the perfect precedent to bring to the attention of Judge Navarro, who is presiding over the Bundy trial(s).
I noticed this past week, early in December 2017, that the defendants were finally allowed pre-trial release so they could be with their families during the remainder of the trial. The defendants were granted pre-trial release only after it was revealed in court in early December 2017, that the FBI report on the defendants from well over a year ago had indicated that the defendants were not dangerous and were not a “threat”. That report had not been provided to Judge Navarro until just now.
The defendants had been held in prison for almost two years without bail, deprived of a speedy trial, and in some cases tormented while incarcerated. The prosecution had assured the court that these defendants were a threat to society and should not be allowed bail. But that became exposed as false once the initial FBI report was ‘discovered’. In and of itself, that circumstance poses the question – why would the prosecution knowingly deceive the courts? To answer that question I must ask the reader to indulge me as I lay in a bit more background.
It is my estimation that the prosecution is hell-bent on persecuting, as well as prosecuting, the defendants because the prosecution works for the government, and because the government is still reeling from its resounding defeat at Bundy Ranch in southern Nevada on April 12, 2014. The prosecution’s bias is obvious and abundant. I’ll show below why I say that here.
The prosecution is under tremendous pressure to win convictions and long-term prison sentences for our cowboys – because if the cowboys “get away with” standing up to “authority”, the U.S. government itself will be embarrassed by its tardiness in making available to global banking elite agendas the assets inherent in public lands which the States themselves should be managing as State assets, as opposed to “International Assets”. (I have stated many times no State since discovery of gold at Sutter’s Creek in 1848 has been admitted to the Union that the United States as not held title to the “public lands” resources for the International Bankers. Monty)
And that is what causes me to recall that old trial I mentioned above, the 1973 trial which should be seen as a precedent in this current court trial. The Bundy trial is destined to go down in history as a peak marker regarding State sovereignty the way the Constitution set it up to be, or the forfeiture by our States of ultimate sovereignty to the centralized Federal government, which now is in the service of international banking moguls, such as those who engineered (from behind the scenes) the creation of the United Nations.
Let us now take a contemporaneousThe trial in 1973 was that of Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony J. Russo, Jr. That trial, and the immediately preceding activities of President Nixon’s top-tier administrative staff, including Henry Kissinger and elements of the CIA and the Department of Defense (DoD), are now, since 2011, available to the public.
yet parallel walk through both trials.
Daniel Ellsberg had “leaked” the 7,000-page McNamara Study, now known as “The Pentagon Papers”, to the New York Times. He had, prior to that, leaked the Pentagon Papers to Senator Fulbright, who was unable to do anything with them at the level of our mere Congress, though he wanted to. (There is a myth of governmental infallibility — if one works for the government, the laws do not apply to one.)
While the details of the trial have been released, one must go to the book which Daniel Ellsberg published in 2002 to see the “rest of the story”. The efforts of Richard Nixon and his “hit team” are largely omitted, due to a polite judge’s discretion, from the official record, but are furnished in Ellsberg’s fully-documented and resourced book. The book is titled “Secrets: A Memoir Of Vietnam And The Pentagon Papers”. (1)
Daniel Ellsberg was a U.S. Marine and a masterful analyst for the Rand Corporation, which, having received an initial grant from the Ford Foundation, relied upon the Pentagon for about seventy percent of its cash flow. He had top clearances at the Pentagon, at the State Department, and at the White House. He had friends on Wall Street and at the CIA and FBI. He had access to the McNamara study on Viet Nam, which was guarded tightly by those in the know. He was an analyst for McNamara. Why that study was “guarded” had to do with the fact that five U.S. Presidents had knowingly lied to Congress, to the American people, and to the world about U.S. involvement in southeast Asia since back in the 1940s. The Presidents who had deceived the American people were:
1 – Truman
2 – Eisenhower
3 – Kennedy
4 – Johnson
5 – Nixon
It is important to understand that, as Gore Vidal has said it (2) with the creation of the CIA and the National Security Council (NSC) at the White House in 1947, the government under President Truman had given itself “legal” rights to lie to the American people. But it did even more. By 1949 the National Security Act of 1947 had been amended to include the “Black Budget”. With Allen Dulles and former OSS men like Wild Bill Donovan opening the door for Presidents, each President since Truman has committed international war crimes – with “plausible deniability”.
And each one of them has been found out after the fact, because Truth Always Outs eventually. Ellsberg gives a detailed account of the psychology of “clearances”, of the “chain of command”, and of the distortion called “loyalty to the boss”, which kept him for several years unwilling to “leak” what he knew. Let me give you one passage showing how this works, how government lies are protected. It’s a mental trap of sorts and most Americans do not know this.
Ellsberg had spent two years as a Marine officer involved in actual combat missions on foot in Viet Nam. But he also had been tasked by Washington D.C. to render analyses on various aspects of how the war was being handled, prospects, options, precedents for policy, etc. Ellsberg knew as much as, or more, about the Viet Nam war than anyone outside the Oval Office, and was therefore often requested by members of Congress. He moved in the highest circles, from the CIA to the White House itself. He visited regularly with Presidents and Secretaries of Defense, State, and Justice. He was close friends with Robert (Bobby) Kennedy, had several meetings with Henry Kissinger, etc etc.
In a word, he had access and he knew how “policy” was made. He also knew how the most secretive elements of the formation of policy were extremely-well protected from Congress and the press, as well as from the American people. And he knew that our government lied to the public regularly, for purposes called “national security”.
Therefore, when he offered the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times, that paper jumped on it with a major effort. The New York Times got three issues out before President Nixon obtained an injunction against their publishing any more. But Ellsberg had prepared for that expected development and had other newspapers lined up to carry on with the publication. When Nixon shut down the New York Times, the Washington Post popped up with more of the Pentagon Papers.
After the WaPo was shut down by Nixon, the Boston Globe and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch carried the leak further. The L.A. Times and the Christian Science Monitor were included in a total of twenty newspapers to publish parts of the Pentagon Papers. All those papers agreed that the President himself had no right to suspend their First Amendment rights, and once the President shut down the NYT and WaPo, eighteen more newspapers piled on.
The “Freedom of the Press” is worded in a sort of direct way, making it very difficult for bureaucrats to sneak around it. But the White House was determined to guard Presidential secrecy and became furious, enraged, as the Oval Office tapes have revealed.
As Ellsberg saw things, (and as the Pentagon Papers revealed undeniably), he finally came to understand that his conscience should overpower his sense of loyalty and secrecy that had kept him working for a death-dealing bureaucracy on an insane mission of destruction which already had gone on for many years but which was intended to continue into future years. He realized that as a moral human being he had to leak the papers to the People. So he did it.
Any reader here who thinks that the BLM is seeking revenge for their embarrassing loss at Bundy Ranch in 2014 can compare that imagery with the outrage which possessed Richard Nixon when the NYTimes came out with the Pentagon Papers. Fact – government always hates dissent against government’s desired policies. Fact — governments throughout history have been known to punish severely any who dare dissent. Fact – government always thinks it knows best, and dissent is a tool of “the enemy”.
And now we’re at the point wherein the analogy of the prosecution of Daniel Ellsberg matches the prosecutorial antics of the government in seeking revenge for our cowboys’ victory at Bundy Ranch. Quite some time after the Ellsberg trial had been completed, the infamous “Oval Office Tapes” surfaced.
The relevant tapes are reproduced in Ellsberg’s book, and they are not pretty to contemplate. Nixon, for one thing, had a “potty-mouth”. His sessions with Kissinger were marked with profanity, some too horrendous to reprint here. He wanted Ellsberg badly, and was wildly upset that the FBI could not find Ellsberg. But during some of the tapes Nixon set himself up to finally be Ellsberg’s liberator. He literally ordered Howard Hunt to organize the burglary of Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist’s office, a fact which, as truth so often does, came out in court.
He had the CIA organize a hit squad to come from Miami to Washington to physically teach Ellsberg a punishing lesson. And that crew of CIA “assets”, those thugs for hire, got reassigned to burglarize the Watergate Hotel where the DNC headquarters was housed. Nixon also ordered the illegal wiretapping of various people inside government positions in his effort to locate Ellsberg and also to try to learn if Ellsberg was holding any further damaging top-secret information which might come out later.
Not necessarily associated with Nixon’s drive, other elements of government decided to destroy or “lose” papers which the court wanted in Ellsberg’s trial.
Each of those crimes were documented in their planning stage once Nixon’s Oval Office tapes went “public”. But the release of the Oval Office tapes was much later than the trial, which was where these presidential crimes were first discovered.
Here is the now-famous statement by the Honorable Judge William Matthew Byrne Jr.
Case Dismissed: Judge Matthew Byrne’s Ruling in the Trial of Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo (May 11, 1973)
Judge Byrne’s statement (page 456 in Ellsberg’s book) included the following – (Quoting)
“The charges against these defendants raise serious factual and legal issues that I would certainly prefer to have litigated to completion….However….the conduct of the government has placed the case in such a posture that it precludes the fair dispassionate resolution of these issues by a jury. I have concluded that a mistrial alone would not be fair. Under all the circumstances, I believe that the defendants should not have to run the risk, present under existing authorities, that they might be tried again before a different jury.
“The totality of the circumstances of this case which I have only briefly sketched offend ‘a sense of justice.’ The bizarre events have incurably infected the prosecution of this case….I am of the opinion, in the present status of the case, that the only remedy available that would assure due process and the fair administration of justice is this trial be terminated and the defendants’ motion for dismissal be granted and the jury discharged.”
(End Quote)
Here are the reasons Judge Byrne dismissed the case with prejudice. The government had lost or destroyed relevant papers. The government had performed illegal wire taps on various government employees. The government had committed burglary at Ellsberg’s psychiatrist’s office. The government had used CIA Cuban assets from Miami to beat Ellsberg physically. While this part is not clear, the same ex-CIA guy who orchestrated the burglary and the attempted beating of Ellsberg ended up being the mastermind of the Watergate Break-in scandal.
That kind of government behavior cost the prosecution their case against Ellsberg and Russo. The prosecution was hoping that the judge would follow orders as they were doing, for the President and “national security”. All of this drama is carefully laid out in Ellsberg’s book.

Navarro Grants Govt Everything, Defendants Nothing _ October 26 2017 Redoubt News
(Quoting from that article; emphasis Redoubt News)
In the pattern of her previous rulings, Navarro granted almost all of the government requests to prohibit the Bundys from mentioning the following:
- Self-defense, defense of others, or defense of property;
- 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 6, 9, and 12, 2014;
- Opinions/public statements of Governor Brian Sandoval of April 8, 2014, and/or opinions registered by other political office holders or opinion leaders about BLM impoundment operations;
- Allegations of workplace misconduct by the SAC (Special Agent in Charge) of the impoundment (Dan Love), or regarding those who worked for, or with, him.
- Allegations that officers connected with the impoundment acted unethically or improperly by the way they were dressed or equipped during the impoundment, or that they improperly shredded documents during or after impoundment operations;
- References to mistreatment of cattle during the impoundment operations;
- Legal arguments, beliefs, explanations, or opinions that the federal government does not own the land or have legal authority or jurisdiction over public lands where impoundment operations were conducted, or that the land was or is otherwise owned by the State of Nevada;
- Legal arguments, beliefs, explanations, or opinions regarding infringement on First and Second Amendment rights, including any effort to confuse the jury that there is some form of “journalist” or “protest” immunity for the crimes charged;
- References to punishment the defendants may face if convicted of the offenses;
- References to the Oregon trial of United States v. Ammon Bundy, Ryan Payne, and Ryan Bundy., or the results in that trial;
- References to the outcomes in the previous two trials in this case; and
- Legal arguments, explanations, or opinions advancing defendants’ views of the U.S. Constitution, including claims that law enforcement officers within the Department of Interior have no constitutional authority, that “natural law” or other authority permits the use of force against law enforcement officers in defense of property or individual rights, or that the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada has no jurisdiction or authority under the [C]onstitution to order the removal of cattle from public lands.
The Ellsberg trial was big enough to begin the ending of the Viet Nam war and of a President’s term in office. The Bundy trial could be that important as well, for it has the potential to wrest from various federal agencies their present authoritarian power to boot ranchers, farmers, miners, and forestry workers off public lands in their respective States.
My prayer and hope is that Judge Navarro can see through the biased government’s abusive prosecution of these good neighbor Americans, and will in the name of Justice deal more fairly with the defense. I applaud her finally seeing through the prosecution’s tactic of concealing from her the year-old assessment of the cowboys by the FBI, which the prosecution was hoping she would not see.
The prosecution wanted the defendants to be in prison for the past 21 or more months, out of spite, so they were not forthcoming with information and discovery which they should have provided last year to the defense and the court. Navarro has apparently seen this and is looking at the prosecution a bit more differently now. That is my hope, and I intend to put encouraging vibes out into the national consciousness to that end. Join me, yes?
If the judge could go against the prosecution because of the prosecution’s bad-faith and nefarious activities, even crimes committed against the defendants, and stop the government’s madness, that kind of justice will go down in history as beneficial for future generations of Americans.
The judge in the Bundy trial can now accurately issue a statement very similar to that of Judge Byrne in 1973, thanks to the conceited sense of statist prosecutorial zeal to destroy the BLM’s “opposition”, establish control, reinforce “authority”, suppress dissent, suppress the freedom of speech, suppress the Second Amendment.
The Pentagon Papers trial is a precedent. The Bundy trial seems to be tracking toward the same kind of victory — Dismissal, with Prejudice!

Sealed To Our Doom: Secret Court Proceedings
Sealed To Our Doom: Secret Court Proceedings
IF AMMON BUNDY AND OTHERS HAD NOT CALLED ATTENTION TO WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON BY THEIR SACRIFICE, THEN WHO WOULD?

Sealed To Our Doom:
Sealed And Secret Court Proceedings
“Though the publication of such proceedings may be to the disadvantage of the particular individual concerned, yet it is of vast importance to the public that the proceedings of Courts of Justice should be universally known. The general advantage to the country in having these proceedings made public, more than counterbalances the inconveniences to the private persons whose conduct may be the subject of such proceedings.” King v. Wright, 8 D. & E. 293, 298, 101 Eng.Rep. 1396, 1399 (K.B. 1799)by Loren Edward Pearce
The Dangerous Erosion Of Our RightsWe have spoken previously about the constant, unrelenting erosion of our constitutional rights including but not limited to: a right to bail and pretrial freedom, a right to a speedy trial, a right to call witnesses and give testimony (e.g., Eric Parker being suppressed by Navarro), and now, the blatant crushing of the public’s right to observe ALL of the court proceedings.
The Run Away Power Of A Federal JudgeNavarro has often referred to the legal term, “in camera” which literally means “in chamber” but has come to mean secret hearings, controlled by her, out of sight and out of the mind and consciousness of the public. So much power has Navarro, that she is not required to justify or give a reason for all of these secret and sealed meetings.
Currently, the Bundy et al case is a victim of numerous sealed and secret meetings, not open to the public. The defendants are sworn to keep the subject matter of the meetings secret, the violation of which would result in penalties to the defendants, up to and including being tossed back into prison for those who are now enjoying conditional release.
Furthermore, these secret and sealed meetings are not for any good reason. They are to protect the government actors (including the judge) from public scrutiny of previous and ongoing misconduct.
Is The Sealing Of Meetings And Evidence Ever Justified?For the author, the short answer is a resounding “no”. The right of the accused and the right of the public, who may be accused someday, are superior to any privacy issues or even issues involving safety and security of witnesses or the parties, and these issues are subordinate to the overwhelming benefits of public observation.
“[I]t is one of the essential qualities of a court of justice that its proceedings should be public, and that all parties who may be desirous of hearing what is going on, if there be room in the place for that purpose, — provided they do not interrupt the proceedings, and provided there is no specific reason why they should be removed, — have a right to be present for the purpose of hearing what is going on.” Scott v. Scott, [1913] A.C. 417, 438-439
The courts have found that members of the public have a strong interest in observing criminal proceedings, inasmuch as they involve crimes against society. And have added that, since courthouses, prosecutors, judges, and often defense attorneys are paid for with public funds, the public “has every right to ascertain by personal observation whether its officials are properly carrying out their duties in responsibly and capably administering justice” Commercial Printing Co. v. Lee, 262 Ark. 87, 553 S.W.2d 270 (1977)
“In publicity, we ‘have one tradition, at any rate, which has persisted through all changes’ from Anglo-Saxon times through the development of the modern common law. Pollock 31-32. See E. Jenks, The Book of English Law 73-74 (6th ed.1967). There is no evidence that criminal trials of any sort ever were conducted in private at common law, whether at the request of the defendant or over his objection. And there is strong evidence that the public trial, which developed before other procedural rights now routinely afforded the accused, widely was perceived as serving important social interests, relating to the integrity of the trial process, that exist apart from, and conceivably in opposition to, the interests of the individual defendant. Accordingly, I find no support in the common law antecedents of the Sixth Amendment public trial provision for the view that the guarantee of a public trial carries with it a correlative right to compel a private proceeding.” Gannett Co., Inc. v. DePasquale, 443 U.S. 368 (1979)
“a witness may frequently depose that in private which he will be ashamed to testify in a public and solemn tribunal.” 3 W. Blackstone, Commentaries *373. See M. Hale, The History of the Common Law of England 343, 345 (6th ed. 1820).Page 443 U. S. 422
It was recognized that publicity was an effective check on judicial abuse, since publicity made it certain that “if the judge be PARTIAL, his partiality and injustice will be evident to all by-standers.” Id. at 344. See 3 W. Blackstone, Commentaries *372.
Star ChamberSo fundamental were public trials to English common law, and later to the founders of the USA, that even Star Chambers were mostly public:
“Apparently, not even the Court of Star Chamber, the name of which has been linked with secrecy, conducted hearings in private. 5 Holdsworth 156, and nn. 5 and 7, and 163; Radin, The Right to a Public Trial, 6 Temp.L.Q. 381, 386-387 (1932). Rather, the unbroken tradition of the English common law was that criminal trials were conducted ‘openlie in the presence of the Judges, the Justices, the enquest, the prisoner, and so manie as will or can come so neare as to heare it, and all depositions and witnesses given aloude, that all men may heare from the mouth of the depositors and witnesses what is saide.’” T. Smith, De Republica Anglorum 101 (Alston ed.1972).
The Right Of The Public To Know Is Even Greater Than The RightsBecause prosecutorial and judicial abuses can reach out and touch any citizen, it is the right of all citizens to observe what is going on in the courtrooms across America. What has happened to Bundy et al, Schaeffer Cox, and many others… CAN HAPPEN TO YOU AND ME!
Of The Accused Or Any Other Party In A Judicial Proceeding
The prosecution, in a display of its many abuses, has threatened any person who was present at the Bunkerville protest, or even before and after the protest, as being an unindicted co-conspirator and as such, is subject to prosecution and the same treatment of the current defendants, i.e., two years of pretrial prison and its attendant hell. This could extend to any person who has submitted any kind of article or post in support of the Bundy et al defendants. In the previous trials, we have seen the lengths to which the prosecution will go in using Facebook posts and other information to obtain convictions, or at least indictments, and the resulting imprisonment pending trial.
Given full rein to work their injustices, including the leverage to get plea deals, there is no limit to how far the government can go, if not subject to scrutiny by the public.
Therefore, it is absolutely indispensable that we, the people, are able to observe all proceedings of the court and that, we, the people, have a way to protest and find remedies to the erosion of our rights.
Is The Sacrifice By The Bundys And Others Worth It?Ammon, and the rest of the defendants, have paid an incomprehensible price at all levels in dealing with these erosions of constitutional rights, but a price that must be paid to stem the destructive erosion by powerful persons who seek to overthrow our freedoms, who seek to destroy our constitutional rights.
If Ammon Bundy and others had not called attention to what is really going on by their sacrifice, then who would?

Further, he oredered a depuity to stop and keep traffic on I-15 inside the danger zone rather than evacuating it. Here is the link: http://www.westernjournalism.com/foot...
Now back to my original narrative here.
I am putting this up WAY out of chronological order because of its importance. LVPD Sheriff Gillespie said that the BLM would pull out and release the cattle back to Mr. Bundy within an hour of his (Gillespie's) speech to the crowd. It did not happen as he promised. Worse, an MRAP and a LVPD SWAT team were only one exit away. Why? After the discovery of the MRAP and the SWAT Team, Gillespie claimed they were to keep the peace. But, if the cattle were released according to the promise of Gillespie, no need to "keep the peace" would have existed. Therefore, Brand and I conclude that a more sinister and deadly trap was being set to end the lives of many people, especially BLM officers, and to use the massacre as an excuse to implement far more stringent and tyrannical controls over the American People. Gillespie sits on the board of the despicable Southern Poverty Law Center and the DHS. This was a highly sophisticated manipulation to kill as many as possible and blame it on the liberty/conservative movement.

What listeners must understand it is the bureaucrats who are most dangerous. The politicians who advent war yet never go to the front lines. Young men and women have no comprehension of the manipulation in play. Thank you . Thank you to God's air force.

Let me point out here that the issue of this video is that Gillespie said that the BLM had agreed to release the cattle and pull out, and that there was a press release to that matter. However, even with the Bundy cowboys waiting peacefully at the BLM corral without the presence of the supporters or the militia, the Sheriff had the MRAP and the SWAT Team close by, showing he knew he had spoken falsely, AND his Deputy Jenkins told Brand that the release of the cattle was "Not going to happen." The Bundy supporters WOULD NOT HAVE GONE TO THE BLM CP if the cattle had been released as per the Sheriff's now questionable statements. All of what Brand and I say here does not detract from the fact the BLM Officers threatened to shoot Americans over cattle ( a despicable and flagrant despotic act), or detract from the extreme professionalism and discipline of the militia (which showed just how "well-regulated" our armed citizenry is). Today we hear the BLM stating there was no deal!!! The Feds are liars, deceivers, and drunk on power with no regard for the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of the people they are supposed, and sworn, to serve. Remember Wounded Knee, WACO, Ruby Ridge, and on, and on... This country is dying as a result of the interests of international bankers and foreign corporations with the assistance of traitors like Gillespie, Reid, etc...

Review-Journal asks judge to unseal Bundy docs, hearings

By David Ferrara Las Vegas Review-Journal
December 13, 2017 – 7:11 pm
Two days after federal judge suggested the possibility of a mistrial in the Bunkerville standoff case, the Las Vegas Review-Journal and a group of Nevada newspapers asked to unseal trial documents discussed behind closed courtroom doors.
‘There is insufficient basis to maintain certain motions and transcripts under seal in this case and to continue to close hearings to the public,” the motion filed Wednesday evening states. “Sealing documents and closing hearings is inimical to this Country’s and this Court’s long tradition of open trials, guaranteed by both the First Amendment and common law — a right of access that is always important, but particularly critical in this case.”
Three weeks into testimony about the 2014 armed conflict, U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro on Monday said government prosecutors did not provide evidence to the defendants on trial, including rancher Cliven Bundy, two of his sons and an independent Montana militiaman, in a timely fashion.
The judge released jurors for a week, then closed her courtroom to the public for a hearing with the defendants, their lawyers and prosecutors.
“The Bundy case is an important one to the people of Nevada, and the public has a right to know what is happening in the case, and why,” said lawyer Maggie McLetchie, who represents the Review-Journal and Battle Born Media, which publishes weekly newspapers in rural communities.
“Secret justice is no justice at all,” Review-Journal Managing Editor Glenn Cook said. “The federal system’s preference for closed doors and sealed documents has eroded public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the courts. Openness is the only way taxpayers can be sure they’re not funding a rigged game.”

Wednesday, December 13, 2017 DOJ Myhre & Navarro Scramble Amid DHS Whistle-blower Reports War Against Bundy Ranch DHS Whistle-blower information re-surfaces amid week long recess declared by Judge Gloria Navarro to allow Steve Myhre and his team to regroup after over 40 violations and firing of Government Investigator.
There is a resurgence of disgust and outrage as an unnamed Department Of Homeland Security Investigator's leaked report resurfaces along with added information that Dan Love Agent In Charge during the Bundy Ranch Standoff along with other government agencies, including the Military, compiled a "hit list" to carry out after the Standoff had ended in April 2014. It is being reported that there are photographs of this list with other evidence that confirms this and other tactics to be used against the Bundy Family and their supporters. It all began with a DHS Investigator leaking information of the government tactics and plans to Doug Hagmann to Steve Quayle in an email.
vement was anticipated, although exceeded their expectations. Although this was a real operation, n
Despite this, the coverage by the alternative media began to create a public relations problem that was not easily managed. Note the lack of acknowledgment by the White House regarding this event. They are intentionally framing it as a state issue, despite the fact that all federal response has been and continues to be from the White House. There is a reason for this – a reason that has not been identified in any of the public reports to date. I will explain in further detail in a follow-up report on Sunday, after this source attends [redacted] to obtain more specific information about future federal operations. Regardless, according to this source, the government will take back ‘their land’ as they must to fulfill international obligations. It was never about grazing rights or anything other than (1) “securing clear title” to the land, and (2) further demonizing any patriotic resistance.
It is my understanding, based on the information from this source, that it is a critical task to create a situation that will also advance their agenda of gun control and confiscation.
A more detailed report will follow on Sunday, 13 April 2014, with additional and much more specific information about their inside plans and future operations.
PLEASE MAKE THIS VIRAL!
"This information confirms much of what Americans on the ground were reporting on the scene in real time. This also confirms what many of us have known for a long time, that the stand that took place in Oregon in 2016 was a continuation of this government plot to kill and silence the Americans who took a stand there.
This confirms what I have been saying all along, "LaVoy was assassinated by the government and its operatives/Mercenaries".
Like Shawna Cox reported, "[they] wanted us all dead"!
Information on what other evidence is being leaked to the Defense in the current Nevada trial is still only being put out in somewhat cryptic fashion at this writing, but we are expecting more will be made public soon.
It was reported that Steve Myhre fired an Investigator on his team regarding the Bundy Trial currently underway. It is assumed that this is one of, now several, DHS Whistleblowers. We know that these Whistleblowers have approached Defense Attorney's in this case.
This only confirms that "they were at war with us, before we were at war with them". One thing is for sure, all of these people in government and their operatives need to be held accountable and all still employed within the government must be terminated!

EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Matt Shea Exposes BLM Atrocities
by Shari Dovale
In an exclusive video interview with Redoubt News, Washington State Representative Matt Shea read from a letter he received concerning a BLM whistle blower named Larry Wooten.
Wooten was the lead investigator for the Bureau of Land Management’s investigation into the Bunkerville/Gold Butte operation that went bad for them in April of 2014.
The letter outlines egregious violations and abuses committed by the Bureau of Land Management employees, lead by SAC Dan Love.
These heinous acts were discovered when Wooten was assigned to investigate the Bunkerville Standoff/Gold Butte operation that took place in April 2014.
Wooten was the lead investigator for nearly 3 years, digging into a multitude of issues. He states in the letter:
…the investigation revealed a widespread pattern of bad judgment, lack of discipline, incredible bias, unprofessionalism and misconduct, as well as likely policy, ethical, and legal violations among senior and supervisory staff at the BLM’s Office of Law Enforcement and Security.
He outlined specifics, such as very derogatory name calling, when he described the unprofessional behavior. Additionally, Wooten states that this behavior was committed “often by law enforcement supervisors who are potential witnesses and investigative team supervisors”.
Agent Wooten outlines in detail how Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Dan Love was known for his bad behavior and allowed to get away with it, as he was “the BLM OLES “Directors boy” and they indicated they were going to hide and protect him.”
But, the information that this courageous whistle blower reveals only gets worse from here.
Wooten goes on to outline that SAC Dan Love had what was called a “Kill Book as a trophy and in essence bragged about getting three individuals in Utah to commit suicide (see Operation CerberusAction out of Blanding, Utah and the death of Dr. Redd).”
The report also describes what appears to be additional people on the BLM hit list, this time, however, Wooten’s own supervisor was an accessory.
My supervisor even took photographs in the secure command post area of the Las Vegas FBI Headquarters and even after he was told that no photographs were allowed, he recklessly emailed out photographs of the “Arrest Tracking Wall” in which Eric Parker and Cliven Bundy had “X’s” through their face and body (indicating prejudice and bias).
The report that Representative Shea shared has multiple pages and is presented here for you to read for yourself.

Link to Larry C. Wooten Report
Wooten ReportSome people might claim this is a disgruntled employee, and I would say they are probably not wrong. However, there are too many specifics included, and too many verifiable facts, to disregard the report. Any person that uncovered these abuses, and was fired for trying to report them, has every right to be disgruntled.
Wooten explains that in “February of 2017, it became clear to me that keeping quite (quiet) became an unofficial condition of my future employment with the BLM, future awards, promotions, and a good future job reference.”
This report names several BLM agents and employees, but then it goes even further. The US Attorney’s office is also implicated in the cover-up:
When I asked [AUSA (First Assistant and Lead Prosecutor) Steven] Myhre if the former BLM SAC’s statements like “Go out there and kick Cliven Bundy in the mouth (or teeth) and take his cattle” and “I need you to get the troops fired up to go get those cows and not take any crap from anyone” would be exculpatory or if we would have to inform the defense counsel, he said something like “we do now,” or “it is now.”
Wooten took great risk upon himself to report the flagrant and vicious acts committed by these government representatives and the Acting US Attorney, Steven Myhre, had him fired from the investigation.
On February 18, 2017, I was removed from my position as the Case Agent Lead Investigator for the Cliven Bundy/Gold Butte Nevada Case
My supervisor told me that AUSA Steven Myhre “furiously demanded” that I be removed from the case and mentioned something about us (the BLM, specifically my supervisor) not turning over (or disclosing) discovery related material
We have previously reported on the blatant Brady violations the prosecution continues to commit. They have withheld evidence that would have easily exonerated these 19 men. The prosecution knew the Bundy family was not threat, as they have already referred to the “Threat Assessment Report” previously completed. These men should never have been incarcerated at all, let alone kept for nearly 2 years.
The list of exculpatory evidence that has been kept from the defense continues to grow. 2 men, Todd Engel and Greg Burleson, were convicted based on this false information. Will truth win out and their convictions get overturned? If the people are to have any chance of regaining trust in our judicial system, this is what should happen.
What about the men that were pressured to accept plea agreements? If those agreements were based on false evidence the prosecution claimed to have had, or if they did not disclose the true facts of the case, will these men have any recourse to have their pleas overturned?
It is now in the hands of Judge Gloria Navarro. She has spent months catering to the prosecution. She has proven to be no friend of the defense.
However, was she misled in this case, as well? Have her eyes been opened to the truth of the scandalous behavior of the prosecution and their witnesses?
If she wants to make this right, and see justice is served, she needs to resolve these issues immediately. She needs to dismiss this case, unseal the entire case and evidence, and hold Steven Myhre and company accountable for their actions
We thank Rep. Matt Shea for his courage in reporting this corruption. We need more elected officials to speak up on behalf of their constituents.
And we thank Larry Wooten for his bravery in shedding light on this outrage. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke needs to step up and address his situation, as well.
