As I was writing today’s previous article on the Bundy Ranch case and asking whether or not the government hid the Inspector General’s report that found a Bureau of Land Management agent, allegedly Daniel P. Love, guilty of misconduct, I referenced what the prosecution wanted to shield the court from seeing and hearing. So, I thought I would take the things they wanted to keep the court from seeing and hearing and expose them in this article.
We’ll take each of these one at a time and you tell me if you can see why they would like to have this information suppressed. It is to close the mouth of truth so that crimes against the people can continue to be committed. All six of these items come from the list that prosecutors put forward to the judge in the case and were subsequently struck down.
Each of the the things the prosecution attempted to silence is highlighted as a bulletpoint.
- References to the occupation of the Malheur national Wildlife Refuge, the subsequent trial, United States v. Ammon Bundy et al., or the result of the trial.
Now, why do you suppose they don’t want any mention of what took place in Oregon in 2016? It’s because there are two ranchers, Steven and Dwight Hammond, currently serving five years sentences under terrorism charges for starting backfires to protect family, property and cattle. One of those fires was allegedly due to the actions of a BLM agent starting a fire. However, BLM creates the same fires with destructive results. Take a look.

What Deb Jordan learned in court yesterday

WHAT I LEARNED: Yesterday in court I learned that out of the top 3 BLM leadership at the Bundy Ranch Protest -- 1 is a former US Marshal and the other 2 are former Secret Service agents. So what exactly has the BLM become?
In court yesterday the two BLM agents spoke in military terms to describe their operation at Bundy Ranch -- but were offended that the defendants were going to call the BLM militarized -- they spoke of surveillance --
"We had information coming in from our informants that "are" imbedded with the various Militia that were there and we also had 4 BLM agents who bought clothing at a local thrift-shop to go blend in with the crowd at various meetings and rallies they were having down there"

Trial Update: Day 6
Agent Sully was unable to recall seeing a vehicle not more than 30 feet away from his position where BLM and Park Police agents had weapons pointed at protesters. He testified that a man with dark facial hair pointed a weapon at him from the Northbound I-15 Bridge. He was able to see this, and not the vehicle right next to him. In cross examination, his report from 15 April 2014 (3 days after the protest), he makes no mention of this individual. Feb 2015, during an interview with the FBI and US Attorneys, he was allowed to make changes to his statement if his recollection had changed. He only added that he had acted as an undercover agent at rallies leading up to the protest. Two opportunities to mention this individual, he does not do so until trial.
BLM had 4 undercover agents at Bundy Ranch rallies, two teams of two. They helped erect banners and work on the stage. They were intricately involved, conducting conversational interviews, trying to ascertain the "threat level". By the 11th, agents had a photo list of "known militia members" and were using it to identify people in their reports. this is how one agent identified Ricky Lovelien, a Tier 3 defendant.
Todd Engel is batting 1000 at this point. his cross examination got Agent Sully to articulate that no protester committed any overt criminal action, that he could see. He ended by asking if the agent had been injured. He asked if any agent was injured. When Sully answered no. Todd asked, is it fair to say then that the only thing injured was the BLM's feelings. US Attorneys damn near jumped out of their skin trying to object. Damage was done. Todd returned to his seat.
Alex Ellis was a 17 year old aspiring journalist. He and journalist Michael Flynn traveled to the Bundy Ranch on the 11th. Flynn is deceased, but Ellis is allowed to testify concerning Flynn's video even though he wasn't the camera operator or in some cases anywhere close to Flynn when the videos were taken. Ellis testifies that he was "deterred" from exploring a road because of the presence of so many weapons. On the 12, they traveled to the wash to record the protest as it unfolded. Ellis did confirm what defendants have always insisted:
- A woman ran over to the meeting area and announced that the BLM was pointing weapons at people
- The BLM announced that they were able to use "up to lethal force"
Additionally, Flynn said on video that the BLM had announced "lethal force, deadly force". All 6 defense attorneys have tried repeatedly to exclude the video from evidence. The deceased cameraman makes substantially prejudicial and judgmental statements about the crowd and the state of mind of the agents behind the wash; neither of which he was able to reliably ascertain from his vantage point. Inclusion of his video also denies defendants the right to face their accuser.
Ellis' testimony will continue tomorrow.
Thursday will be one of the hardest days yet. Ellis will presumably identify Tier 3 defendants since his vantage point was the NB I-15 bridge. His testimony (pending cross examination) has so far been advantageous to the Government. He expresses reservation (if not outright fear) over the presence of people with weapons wearing camouflage clothing. This is a common thread so far from all witnesses. They were intimidated by the lawful possession of weapons.

Federal Government Continues to Chase Its Tail in the Bundy Trials
February 14, 2017 - Government/Politics, Oregon Standoff - Tagged: BLM, Bundy, federal, Nevada, Oregon, Range, RANGEfire, Standoff - no comments
Unlike the Oregon Standoff case, where the vast majority of defendants were released from pre-trial custody, in the Nevada case (which many consider to be an even weaker government case than Oregon), although only six defendants are in trial right now, well over a year later, with no trial date scheduled for the remaining Nevada defendants, they are all still in custoy in Nevada. Now, the government is starting to shuffle some of the defendants back to Portland to testify in the second Oregon Standoff Trial for four “lesser” defendants scheduled to start today.
http://rangefire.us/wp-content/uploa...-1-300x231.jpg
According to Maxine Bernstein and OregonLive, Defense lawyers for the four Oregon standoff defendants set for trial this week want Pete Santilli, who awaits prosecution in Nevada, to be flown to Oregon to testify on their behalf and to impeach another co-defendant, Blaine Cooper, now expected to be a government witness.
Jury selection starts Tuesday morning for the remaining four defendants accused of federal conspiracy, weapons and depredation of government property charges stemming from the 41-day seizure of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge last winter.
U.S. District Judge Anna J. Brown already has issued orders for occupation leaders Ammon Bundy, who was acquitted of all charges, and Ryan Payne, who has pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge, to be flown from Nevada to Oregon to testify for the defense.
The defendants’ request for Santilli was filed on Sunday, after defendants learned that Cooper, who pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge in the refuge case last summer, is expected to testify for the prosecution.
The defense team estimated that Santilli’s testimony would last about half a day, and the lawyers have requested he be transferred to Oregon in early March. Santilli has agreed to testify, as long as his lawyer in Nevada can be present in court with him.
“Peter Santilli is a journalist who reported on the protest at the refuge from its inception, and has extensive personal knowledge of events relevant to these proceedings,” defense lawyer Jesse Merrithew wrote in his Sunday motion. “He was close to Blaine Cooper throughout the events at issue. Defendants intend to call Mr. Santilli to impeach the testimony of Blaine Cooper, who the government recently disclosed will testify as a government witness.”
Both Santilli and Cooper are in custody in Nevada. Santilli is awaiting trial in connection with the April 2014 armed standoff with Bureau of Land Management officers near the Bundy Ranch in Bunkerville, Nevada.

Cooper, of Humboldt, Arizona, in August pleaded guilty to conspiracy and assault on a federal officer in the Nevada case, and is set to be sentenced in mid-March. Prosecutors are expected to recommend a six-year sentence, but he can argue for less time.
In the Oregon refuge takeover case, 26 people were indicted on federal conspiracy, weapons and other charges stemming from the occupation of the federal wildlife sanctuary outside of Burns in eastern Oregon. Seven people were acquitted of the charges after a five-week trial in Portland last fall. Eleven people have pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge, and three others have pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor trespassing charge.
Santilli had all charges dismissed against him on the eve of the fall trial. He never stayed overnight at the federal wildlife refuge, and his defense attorney in Oregon argued that much of the material he broadcast on his YouTube channel was protected speech under the First Amendment.
Cooper was part of the first convoy of people to drive to the refuge in Harney County on Jan. 2 from a demonstration in Burns, where he was protesting the return to federal prison of father and son ranchers Dwight Hammond Jr. and Steven Hammond.
Cooper, who has registered a film company called Third Watch Media, carried a camera while co-defendants armed with firearms cleared the refuge buildings that day, a prosecutor said at his plea hearing. Cooper also was seen driving government trucks on the refuge.
On Jan. 3, Cooper appeared on a video with occupation leader Ammon Bundy, in which Bundy promised to make the refuge a base for patriots to live and stay for several years, according to prosecutors. Cooper introduced himself on the video, and urged those who come to the refuge to, “Bring your arms!” Cooper left the refuge on Jan. 26 or 27, and was arrested in Utah on Feb. 11.
In the Nevada case, a Facebook exchange Cooper had with Santilli on April 8, 2014, was cited in court documents, in which Cooper wrote to Santilli that it was time to stop “all this huffing and puffing” over the microphones and “go down and do what we got to do” in Nevada. Prosecutors in Nevada described Cooper as a mid-level leader and organizer in the 2014 standoff there.
