DeLemus to withdraw guilty plea after associates acquitted

By KEVIN LANDRIGANNew Hampshire Union Leader
A conservative New Hampshire activist asked his lawyer Friday to withdraw a guilty plea for conspiracy over a Nevada standoff after seven co-defendants and his former associates were acquitted over separate charges of occupying a wildlife refuge in Oregon, according to a close family friend.
Last July, Gerald “Jerry” DeLemus of Rochester became the first defendant to plead guilty in connection with the armed confrontation in 2014 with U.S. officials over grazing rights near cattleman and open-range advocate Cliven Bundy’s ranch in Nevada.
A DeLemus confidante, former New Hampshire Republican State Chairman Jack Kimball, said he spoke by telephone with DeLemus twice in the past two days and confirmed the change of heart.
“He met with his attorney today and instructed him to withdraw his plea. It probably won’t be filed until the next business day on Monday,” Kimball said during a telephone interview.
And Kimball said DeLemus instructed him to reveal for the first time that the guilty plea was coerced by federal prosecutors.
“He told me that he was coerced badly. He said ‘my family was threatened.’ He said ‘I was told they were going to go after my family and my friends if I wouldn’t do this,’” Kimball said.
“He said, ‘I decided I would plea so they would leave them alone.’”
DeLemus has been incarcerated in a Nevada federal prison since his arrest last March.
He and his lawyer could not be reached for comment.
His wife, Susan, a Republican state legislator from Rochester, told associates on her Facebook account of her husband’s change of plea.
“Well now he’s changed his plea back innocent,” DeLemus posted early Friday morning.
DeLemus and his wife were vocal supporters of Donald Trump’s campaign prior to Trump winning the first-in-the-nation primary.
On Thursday in Oregon, a 12-person jury found accused Oregon occupation leaders Ammon and Ryan Bundy not guilty of the government’s primary charge: conspiracy to impede federal officers by force, threat or intimidation in connection with the occupation of the wildlife refuge in January and February of this year.
Their five co-defendants — Jeff Banta, Shawna Cox, David Fry, Kenneth Medenbach and Neil Wampler — have all been found not guilty as well.
Jurors were unable to reach a verdict on Ryan Bundy’s theft of government property charge.
In another strange twist, Marcus Mumford, Ammon Bundy’s lawyer, said he was charged with resisting arrest after a scuffle in court right after the verdict.
Mumford argued for his client’s immediate release but the judge denied the request because both Bundys face the same charges as DeLemus does in Nevada.
After raising his voice to the judge, published reports say U.S. marshals tackled Mumford, using a stun gun to subdue him before clearing the courtroom.
Last July, DeLemus and Blaine Cooper of Humboldt, Ariz., each admitted to conspiring with others who engaged in a tense gunpoint standoff with federal Bureau of Land Management agents in April 2014 near Bundy’s property about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas.
Both said they weren’t there for the standoff, but confessed to interfering with the execution of federal court orders. They said they did recruit and organize armed gunmen to support Bundy and sons Ammon, Ryan, Mel and Dave Bundy in efforts to prevent the roundup of Bundy cattle from the scenic Gold Butte area.
Their plea deals had called for sentences of six years in federal prison, although their defense attorneys could have sought leniency at sentencing Dec. 1. Each also could have been fined up to $500,000 and be subject to up to three years of government supervision after prison.
All of that for DeLemus is off the table with this plea withdrawal and trial is likely to commence this February.
But Kimball urged federal prosecutors to drop the charges against DeLemus and the other defendants in the Nevada case.
“They are going to get embarrassed. All of this stuff is going to come out and it is going to be revealed what the authorities were doing,” Kimball said.
“They were the only ones abusing power.”
Kimball said the verdict strikes a blow for citizen justice.
“This is a great thing,” Kimball said.
“This is what happens when justice is determined by objective people, real Americans.
“You don’t usually see not-guilty verdicts in cases such as this but they realized it all was just kangaroo courts.”

FBI posed as a documentary film crew to gather evidence during Bunkerville investigation. This has been reported before, now confirmed by prosecution.
http://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/c...-investigation
Posted November 3, 2016 - 10:21amUpdated November 3, 2016 - 12:30pm
Prosecutors confirm FBI agents posed as film crew in Bunkerville standoff investigation
Federal prosecutors confirmed late Wednesday that undercover FBI agents posed as a documentary film crew to gather evidence during their investigation of the April 2014 standoff near Bunkerville.
In court papers, the four prosecutors handling the case, including First Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Myhre, did not identify the company used in the ruse.
But defense lawyers who have seen FBI reports of the undercover operation have previously said in court documents that the company’s name was Longbow Productions.
Several of the 19 defendants charged in the Bunkerville case — including Ammon Bundy, one of the leaders of the alleged assault on Bureau of Land Management officers — were tricked into doing interviews with the undercover agents before they were charged.
Prosecutors revealed the undercover sting in a written response to court papers filed by another defendant, Gregory Burleson, who accused FBI agents of misconduct for giving him liquor during his October 2014 interview at a Phoenix hotel room.
Burleson’s defense lawyer, Terrence Jackson, has asked a federal judge to toss out the evidence obtained against Burleson by an undercover Longbow crew, arguing that plying him with alcohol induced him to make incriminating admissions.
But in their court papers Wednesday, prosecutors defended the undercover operation and said Jackson has no evidence of government misconduct.
“As an initial matter, there was no interrogation process,” the prosecutors wrote. “Burleson voluntarily met and spoke with undercover agents posing as documentary filmmakers.
“They met in a hotel room under circumstances designed to make Burleson believe that he was participating in a documentary by recounting his experiences at the April 12, 2014, assault.”
Prosecutors acknowledged that agents gave Burleson alcohol before and after the interview.
“But that alone fails to establish that Burleson’s answers were anything other than coherent, freely given responses to the questions posed,” they wrote. “Burleson cannot establish any coercive police activity was used to elicit his statement given the context of the undercover operation or that the officers prevented Burleson from walking away from the conversation at any time.”
His answers were consistent with other statements he made to law enforcement and on social media, prosecutors said.
Burleson, who maintains that he is now legally blind and suffering from other medical ailments, was a gunman during the Bunkerville confrontation, according to prosecutors. He has been associated with militia groups in Arizona over the years.
Bundy is regarded by prosecutors as one of the leaders of the armed standoff. Last week, he was acquitted with six others by a federal jury in Portland on charges of taking over a government wildlife refuge in Oregon earlier this year. He was being transported Thursday by U.S. marshals to Nevada to face the Bunkerville charges.
His Las Vegas attorney, Dan Hill, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal last month that Bundy was interviewed for several hours in Phoenix by Longbow Productions.
“Ammon has nothing to hide, but this is one of the many troubling actions the government took in this case,” Hill said Thursday. “There’s something troubling about the FBI posing as a First Amendment journalist outlet to interview suspects in an investigation with no attorney. They would never have gotten a legitimate interview from Ammon.”
Eric Parker, whom prosecutors described as a gunman at the Bunkerville standoff, was interviewed by Longbow Productions in Idaho, where he lives.
“It’s a little bothersome that they created this ruse,” said his attorney, Jess Marchese. “You’d like for them to be aboveboard and upfront and honest that they’re agents. But it doesn’t necessarily hurt my client as a whole because his recitation of the facts has been consistent from Day One.”
Defense lawyer Chris Rasmussen, who represents Peter Santilli in the case, said the undercover operation circumvented the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination for some of the defendants, along with their Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial.
It also creates First Amendment issues for the news media, said Rasmussen, whose client, an internet radio talk show host, was not interviewed by Longbow Productions.
“It puts a chill in the air for people who want to report newsworthy events,” Rasmussen explained. “This creates a cause for concern for journalists everywhere that their sources can’t be confident they’re talking to a news agency.”
Attorney Brett Whipple, who is defending Bundy’s father, Cliven, also was critical of the undercover FBI operation.
“This shows the lengths they’re willing to go to target individuals that they believe are challenging the federal government,” Whipple said. “I’m very concerned about the use of this ruse to gather this information.”
The Bundy patriarch was not interviewed by Longbow Productions.

In the book, “Technocracy Rising: The Trojan Horse Of Global Transformation”, the author and economist, Patrick M. Wood, addresses the Agenda 21 deception by exposing the “Lexicon of Technocracy” that dates all the way back to the 1930’s and consisting of terms such as: “Sustainable Development”, “Green Economy” and “Smart Growth”. These terms, while utilized ostensibly to conserve and preserve the environment of planet earth, actually represent nothing less than a “resource grab” by the economic and political global elite.
In his book, as well as various online forums, Wood describes how Barack Obama has invoked the obscure 1906 Antiquities Act to grab 265 million acres from states, privately held individuals and companies; which is more than any other U.S. president in history. In a chilling manner, Wood outlines how, under the guise of preservation for future generations, the Dark Powers That Be are actually stealing lands that are loaded with resources including minerals, metals and timber that could be used for various agricultural purposes, to help pay down the national debt or to provide jobs that would benefit middle class families. Instead, however, these areas have been sealed off and not even allowed to be used by U.S. citizens for hunting or recreation.
Through the ruse of various .gov agencies, over 36% of the entire United States land mass, or 836.5 million acres, has been confiscated as follows:
•Bureau of Land Management – 247.3 million acres
•Fish and Game – 89.1 million acres
•Forest Service – 197.1 million acres
•National Park Service – 84 million acres
•109 million acres of wilderness areas
•110 million acres of wetlands

My Dear Brothers & Sisters
I am in jail, that doesn’t sound good and it is hard. I was in solitary confinement for 4 months. I had reviewed the Old Testament and read and studied the other standard works. One late afternoon I saw a light shining off the wall of my cell 2 inches wide and 6 inches long. It was the first sunlight I had seen in months. I thought, “I have seen the light!”
For the last two years since the Bundy Ranch Protest I have realized that our God (Heavenly Father) loves each and every one of us on this earth. I have spoken to hundreds of million of His children around the world. I have testified to them of their worth and of the Father’s love for each of them, as souls He loves. I testify that the gospel of Jesus Christ (the Lord) is not concerned with what has happened to you in your past life. He is only concerned with what is going to happen to you from this moment forward. The Lord says to forgive, repent, and forget. Open your arms, gather in a husband, a wife, some children and many grandchildren and come to my Father’s house united as a family. I have said if you cannot believe in Jesus Christ, believe in a Father in Heaven that loves you.
Today we have a choice! We have a VOTE! We are all tired of the establishment, the large central government. We are not happy. We are scared. We do not feel secure in economy or safety. Is this Nation becoming ripe in iniquity?
On TV a political ad shows a young man that has had a childhood health problem. You see President-elect Donald Trump supposedly throwing his arms in the air making fun of persons with facial or mental defects. I do not like a man with that type of thought and action, if that ad is even true.
Let’s look at the alternative – President-elect Hillary Clinton. If she has her way and with the US Congress established way, that young man would not have a life. He would have been aborted and the fee paid by US Congress!
On the jail cell wall there are 3 TVs. I see anti Trump ads stating him saying slur language about women. I do not like that. I look up at the TV at any time of day or night and I see nudeness, guns pointing at someone, domestic violence, youth involved with sexual or homosexual dialogs, vulgar and filthy language, most ugly monsters, cartoons as sex, victim’s blood, and torture. It is all evil. It’s the darkest, filthiest, vulgar and violent, most immoral, and cursing using God’s name. They’re making money, claiming protection and having it, by all three branches of US government, stating free speech rights of the US Constitution.
President-elect Hillary Clinton is and represents this establishment. Can we stay or endure as human beings? ALL BEING PROTECTED BY THE FREE SPEECH
I live in a jail pod with 100 men and each minute I endure the free speech of many times dirtier language about Heavenly Father’s daughters along with what is on TV, compared to Mr. Trump’s comments.
Thirty co-defendants, 4 sons and I have not abused our free speech right as mentioned above. We are charged with conspiracy against the US government. We have exercised our US Constitutional 1st amendment rights, guaranteed by the Constitution. We protested the county sheriff, state and county elected officers to protect our neighbors, state sovereignty, sheriff policing power their oaths to protect state laws, the US Constitution, our lives, liberty, and property. This proper form of government that we protest for is not a large central government. It is as the US founders and the Constitution intended, a republic, a local small county government, one of We the People, by the People, for We the People. Where we elect our county sheriff and county commissioners. We pay the sheriff to protect our life, liberty, and property. We elect the judges and we are the jury.
VOTE – Donald Trump. He believes in the proper form of government. He is a producer. He knows how to build. He will protect each of our lives, liberty, and our property and defend our1st and 2nd amendment rights. Mr. Donald Trump has the human instinct to protect the beautiful miracle of an unborn baby’s precious life.
GO VOTE!!!!

Cliven Bundy – the Nevada rancher scheduled to go to trial early next year for his 2014 armed standoff against the federal government – is suing a Democratic congressional candidate for defamation for linking the standoff to the deaths of two Law Vegas police officers.
In a complaint filed in state court in Clark County, Nevada, Bundy alleges that Ruben Kihuen engaged in "willful and malicious defamatory communications." Kihuen is the Democratic nominee for the House in Nevada's 4th Congressional District. In response to the lawsuit, Kihuen's campaign denied that the campaign communications were defamatory.
ADVERTISING
Bundy's lawsuit centers on a television ad (more on that in a moment) and a campaign mailer that tied Kihuen's Republican opponent, Rep. Cresent Hardy (R-NV), to Bundy. The mailer alleged that Bundy's 2014 standoff "led to the death of two Las Vegas police officers."
The complaint doesn't specifically identify the mailer in question. Bundy's lawyer Bret Whipple told TPM in a phone interview, “I know there is at least one and potentially two mailers I am concerned about.” The mailer below was provided to TPM by the Kihuen campaign and matches the description included in the complaint.
http://a5.img.talkingpointsmemo.com/...ghq4ip1ugw.jpg
The Kihuen campaign told TPM it never aired a TV ad alleging that the 2014 Bundy standoff led to the deaths of two Las Vegas police officers.
As for the TV ad referenced in the complaint, Whipple said, “I have not seen the TV ad myself.”
“I don’t watch TV normally and if I do I just flip it to the History channel," Whipple said. “I was told by people, in fact one of my paralegals, that they observed it. “
The backstory on the police shootings:
In 2014, Jared and Amanda Miller – a husband and wife – killed two Las Vegas police officers. At the time, news outlets reported that the Millers shared "some apparent ideology that is along the lines of militia and white supremacists" and that they had both spent time at the Bundy Ranch standoff earlier 2014. After shooting the police in a restaurant, the pair moved to a Walmart where they shot another man. Then, Jared Miller was killed by police and Amanda Miller committed suicide, according to news reports from the time.
In his complaint, Bundy denies meeting with or speaking to the Millers:
http://a5.img.talkingpointsmemo.com/...veehxlzh8s.jpg
In a statement, the Kihuen campaign called Bundy's complaint "beyond absurd."
"Cliven Bundy led an illegal armed standoff at Bunkerville, and when it was over two of his supporters assassinated two Las Vegas metro police officers," campaign manager Dave Chase said. "It is beyond absurd for Cliven Bundy to pretend he’s worried about protecting his 'good name' while his son is talking to national media about leading yet another armed insurrection, this time at Gold Butte. This lawsuit – filed just days before an election – is clearly nothing more than a political stunt from Cliven Bundy on behalf of his close friend and ally Congressman Hardy.”

John Lamb's praise for Pete Santilli

Peter Santilli
Now, here's a hero to go in our history books! Though I've never got to meet him out side the court room, I feel I've known him my whole life. After listening to every news report from him during the protest in Burns Oregon, and while attending court hearings in Portland earlier this year, you couldn't help but love Pete. He came in through the side door in the court room with US Marshalls all around him . Dressed in blue jail scrubs and shackles, you would have thought he murdered someone instead of just reported the news. But, as he came in he always looked back to see us in the back of the court room and gave a big smile. And occasionally he would say something to the media like , "report the truth about the murder of LaVoy!"
Pete is one of the biggest examples of injustice by the federal government.They want to silence the truth. So they tried to get him to take a plea deal, that to most would be a deal too good to refuse, but he was innocent and he refused to plead guilty to their lies. So, just the day before trial was to start they dismissed the charges against him. An innocent man was held in jail for almost 8 months without a bond. Prosecutors were pretending to have enough evidence to convict him, and when they couldn't break him, "oops we don't have any evidence on this man"! Is this what america does? Do we gamble with people's lives in hopes to threaten the innocent to take a plea?
Pete loves his country and served his country as a Marine with pride and honor. But, he knew that the media was telling nothing but lies. And he had no agenda but to serve his fellow Americans and report the truth. He stood up to report the truth like very few ever do, because he couldn't be bought out like CNN and Fox News. He should be getting a medal of honor from our government instead of being treated as a terrorist.
After Oregon dismissed charges against him , Nevada has continued to hold this innocent man for nothing more than his 1st amendment constitutional rights to have freedom of the press and freedom of speech.
This man from Ohio is who I heard the real truth from, January 2016 from Burns Oregon. And I stand with him. He is a political prisoner, in Pahrump Nevada, of this current corrupt government, and should be released immediately

Racist Campaign Propaganda Leads To Disciplinary Action In Cliven Bundy Case

GMN REPORTS – Las Vegas Nevada
The high profile Nevada case of United States vs Cliven Bundy et al is anticipated to be in the spotlight much more in the coming months now that Ammon and Ryan Bundy have been successfully transferred to The Southern Nevada Detention Center in Parhump Nevada. After being acquitted on charges of conspiracy in the State of Oregon, the two Sons of Cliven Bundy have now joined their father and two brothers Mel & Dave, to tackle what many are calling the biggest case concerning civil rights Nevada has ever seen.
[Update 11/03/16 @ 10:39 AM PST]: Ammon & Ryan Bundy – Were first sent to and spent the night in Seattle Washington — There is no word as to whether or not they made it to Nevada overnight.]
Attorneys for the defense in the case still have concerns that Nevada may not be the idea place for this trial and have filed a joint motion for a change of venue.
There is no doubt the election has become ugly here in Nevada, said State Assembly Woman Michele Fiore. In fact, Fiore believes the race between Republican Cresent Hardy and Democrat Ruben Kihuen, may very well have extinguished all hopes of finding an impartial jury to hear the case.

Race-Baiter Ruben Kihuen – Strong Ties – To Bundy Hater Harry Reid
Just this week disciplinary action was taken against an employee at the Southern Nevada Detention Center for what the defendants in the case called a hostile reaction to ads being run on Nevada television insinuating Cliven Bundy is a racist.
Ms. Taylor, an African American woman, who refused to give GMN her first name when we reached out to her by phone earlier today, is in charge of the facilities Law Library, where Bundy and Co-defendents work on their cases to prepare for trial. Part of her duties include managing computer disks that contain discovery from the prosecutor’s office; defendants need regular access to those disk and the library to build their case.
The Defendants in the case agree, she was kind and helpful until about two weeks ago when they noticed a big change in her attitude toward them. It was then she began refusing to give them access to the discovery, slammed doors and screamed at them for asking simple questions, and repeatedly became confrontational when asked to accommodate them in securing a seat at computers in the library.
The confrontations became so regular and vicious that one defendant, after seeking advise of on duty guards, finally filed a complaint. The complaint noted that one of the statements made by Ms Taylor during a confrontation was, “Well, maybe I was better off when I was picken cotton,” a remark taken out of context that was widely distributed by media news outlets, and now being used by Senator Kihuen in his race for Congress.
Facility authorities admit Mr. Bundy nor any of the other inmates, have displayed any behavior that would lead to the impression they are racist.
PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TO GUERILLA MEDIA NETWORK – JUST CLICK HERE
When Chief Delaney asked Ms Taylor if she had made reference to the ad during one of her outburst, she admitted to making the remark and said her drastic change in attitude was because of a commercial she had seen on television by Senator Ruben Kihuen.
For attorneys and their clients this signals another huge problem being caused by a politician who continues to portray Cliven Bundy as a racist, and it is not only effecting a potential jury pool, but also the mind of a woman who has direct access to sensitive information concerning this case.
Michele Fiore, a Nevada Lawmaker and advocate for the defendants being held on charges of conspiracy in her State, says she agrees with the attorneys;
If this woman cannot keep her personal feelings in check, and is that easily swayed by a political propaganda ad concerning Mr. Bundy, then maybe the SNDC should seriously consider replacing her with someone who is a little more professional.
The men in Nevada, who are known for their well mannered behavior and overall respectful attitude toward employees at the facility, say that Chief Delaney spoke to them earlier today and said disciplinary actions were taken but that he would not disclose what those actions were.
We just want to work on our case they said, what concerns us more than anything right now is our right to a fair trial and Constitutional guarantee to a fair and impartial jury. If the reaction of Ms Taylor is any indication of what the public has been force fed into thinking, a fair trial will obviously be a challenge here in Nevada

Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
I've thought the Bundys should have distanced themselves from other races in both of their confrontations with the Feds. The Feds, blacks, mexicans and indians are no friend of the white man when they have him out numbered in my experience.

An update from Angie Bundy!!
"I've had many people asking how Ryan and Ammon are doing...they are together, along with Pete Santilli, and Jerry . They are busy studying the case. They do get to see Cliven, Mel, and Dave in the law library and at church services on Sunday. Ryan claims that this facility is way better than MCDC, but it's still jail, and I know they are all homesick and missing their families. The courts in Nevada have completely ignored the Nevada defendants. It's almost like they just want them forgotten. There have been no status hearings and NONE of the defendants have been let out on bail. Many of these men came with no other motive than to protect and help our family. Most of them have no criminal history, and none of them should be in jail for what happened in 2014. No laws were broken on the side of the protestors or ranchers. It was the Government that tased, beat, and hurt , threatened and intimidated. Everything done to us...we are being charged with. Thank you for all of your love and concern"
