In another stunning turn of events, All of the tier three defendants
in the Bundy Ranch trials, including Cliven and Ammon Bundy and Ryan
Payne have all been given pre-trial release!
So much for a "threat to society"!
In a few video reports on the court's ruling on Tuesday, Brad Thornton issued the news and answered questions. https://youtu.be/0etz3ZVy-dI
May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be praised!
UPDATE: KSNV is now reporting Cliven will remain in jail as a matter of principle.
Cliven Bundy was granted release to the home of Jim
Abbott in a supervised release with conditions similar to Ammon's,
including 24/7 house arrest and permission to see his wife and family,
but cannot speak to anyone testifying in the trial.
However, in a move that shocked many in the courtroom, he said no and wants to stay in prison.
His attorney stated that Cliven is a "man of principle" and doesn't want to be released unless everyone else is released.
While the decision shocked many in the courtroom, it didn't shock family members or Bundy supporters.
"The standard of liberty is innocent until proven guilty," Ryan Bundy told News 3 outside of the courtroom.
They also stated that Cliven believes he is innocent so there should be no conditions to his release.

It appears the government wants to hide the illegal actions it has taken, along with those of the Bureau of Land Management in the Bundy Ranch trial that is soon to begin.
On Tuesday, Prosecutors in Las Vegas filed a Motion In Limine in
the case of The United States vs Cliven Bundy et al. They are hopeful
that Nevada District Court Judge Gloria Navarro will allow the US
central government to “cover-up” any wrong doing by Bureau Of Land
Management agents during the 2014 Bundy Ranch siege.
An attorney for one of the defendants told Guerilla Media Network,
"It’s a shocking blatant attempt by the Government to cover-up the
brutal conduct of BLM agents that caused a near catastrophe in
Bunkerville, Nevada during the impoundment of rancher Cliven Bundy’s
cattle."
Guerilla Media Network reports:
The motion is a draconian attempt at best to “protect” government
agents from being exposed to further scrutiny during the upcoming Nevada
trials in which they will be under-oath to tell the truth.
...
The defense in this case is centered around civil rights violations
of the Bundy family and protestors who came to Bunkerville, Nevada to
protest an overreaching government agency who had beaten and
incarcerated Cliven Bundy’s son Dave Bundy and other protestors, used a
stun gun on his son Ammon Bundy, viciously attacked Mr. Bundy’s sister
Margaret, and terrorized peaceful protest with threat of snipers and
military force.
Further the government which successfully used the idea that some of the
defendants in the Oregon trial of the United States vs Ammon Bundy et
al .. were also involved in the Bundy Ranch “armed” protest as a reason
to deny them a pretrial release, now ask the Judge to not allow any
reference to that case including the fact they were acquitted.
Here's a copy of the relevant portion of the motion.
"It is what it is and we will fight it," said Chris Rasmussen, attorney for reporter and radio show host Pete Santilli.
"The government wishes to eliminate anything we could use that goes to
the defendants' state of mind .. and we cannot allow that to happen.
These people were frightened and there was a reason they reacted the way
they did."
"Do we or do we not still live in America?" said former Nevada State Assemblywoman Michele Fiore
on Tuesday in response to the motion. "One way or the other the truth
will be told and I would like to see them stop me from voluntarily
giving my testimony when this trial begins."
Fiore has already told about some of the evidence that is known to exist concerning the criminal BLM, including audio and video from body cameras, and even spoken out on their crimes on the Nevada Assembly floor.
Carol Bundy, Cliven Bundy’s wife, reacted in a similar manner, "So
what kind of defense are we allowed to have if we can’t tell the truth?
Because if the Government has it’s way it looks like we will not be
allowed to have any defense at all."
The central government has been at the center of coverups. Among them have been Waco and Ruby Ridge.
They have sought and are seeking to do the same in the Bundy case just
as they are attempting to do in the case involving the murder of LaVoy Finicum and as they have done concerning Daniel P. Love, the man in charge of the aggressive nature against the Bundys.
I met with Santilli on Saturday at the Southern Nevada Detention
Center and he informed me that he believes with the evidence they have,
that everyone should be acquitted of the charges against them.
He went on to state to GMN: Sure, they would love it if we all just went into
this trial docile and defeated, not willing to fight them, but that just
isn’t going to happen. The Bureau of Land Management went to Bundy
Ranch with a clear disdain and lack of respect for the Bundy Family. Dan
Loves Objective fell just short of scorched earth policy; We can prove
it, they know it and they are very, very afraid of that. As I see it,
we have them right where we want them, why would they file such a
ludicrous Motion otherwise? This Motion has the “BLM is guilty” written
all over it and I for one think that’s great news.
If the Government gets it’s way and eliminates the fact that Daniel P Love gave agents the authority
to beat up on Bundy Family members and was not acting in a rational way
during the impoundment, if the Jury is not allowed to hear what elected
officials told Love in response to his brutal actions, and if there was
never any reason whatsoever for protestors to be in fear for their
lives, then I believe any Jury worth it’s salt is going to be very
suspect as to the validity of this case. I mean, if nobody did anything
wrong, then why the hell are we having a trial?
Judge Navarro has demonstrated that she is just as corrupt as the BLM
and the politicians surrounding what is going on in Nevada. Just look
at what she has done to Santilli and Cliven Bundy. Does anyone really believe she is not going to accept this motion?
First and foremost fact : way more whites are shot by police than blacks...however MSM as well as the Progressive Obama administration will not address the issue as it does not fit their agenda of racism which they push non stop for political gain!
I will give two examples of many that never seem to get reported on by MSM nor addressed by the Obama administrations DOJ
Jeff Knox explains how irrational fear led to police-sanctioned murder
Erik Scott was a West Point graduate who
went on to serve honorably in the Army, get his MBA from Duke and
establish a lucrative career in real estate and as a sales rep for a
medical device company. He was 38 years old when he was gunned down in
2010 in the portico of a Las Vegas area Costco store by officers from
the Las Vegas Metro Police Department. While it was 7 bullets from the
only people we’re supposed to trust with guns that snuffed out Erik
Scott’s life, what really killed him was an irrational fear of firearms –
hoplophobia.
Scott and his girlfriend had been shopping
in the Costco, but had been asked to leave when an employee spotted
Scott’s lawfully carried handgun. Scott had inadvertently exposed the
gun when he squatted down to inspect some merchandise. He informed the
employee that he was legally carrying the gun and was in possession of a
valid Nevada concealed weapons permit, but was informed that Costco has
a policy against carrying firearms in their stores.
A brief argument ensued, some raised
voices and obvious frustration on Scott’s part, but witnesses said it
didn’t seem like a big deal. They saw nothing particularly threatening
about the incident or the clean-cut, good looking young man. The store
manager who had spoken with Scott seemed satisfied by Scott’s
reassurance that he was a legal firearm carrier and would be finished
with his shopping in a few minutes. But a store Loss Prevention Officer
called the police and reported that an armed man was behaving
erratically in the store.
That report, based on irrational fear, and perhaps some personal
envy, triggered events which quickly spiraled out of control. It seems
that the fear factor was taken up a notch with each description of the
story to the point that responding officers believed they were going
into a violent hostage situation with a heavily armed and dangerous
Green Beret.
Las Vegas MPD responded with a
city-wide alert, street closures, helicopter support and deployment of a
Mobile Command Center. The first officers on the scene arrived as
Costco employees were following telephone instructions from the police
to calmly evacuate the store.
As Scott and his girlfriend fell in with other patrons flowing out of
the exit door, the Loss Prevention Officer who started the whole mess
pointed toward Scott and a police officer at the door suddenly began
yelling “Stop! I said Stop! Drop the gun! Get on the ground! Get on the
ground!”
He fired these conflicting commands in quick succession giving Scott
no opportunity to comply with any of them and then fired two rounds at
Scott’s chest. As the officer began yelling and Scott realized he was
the subject of the commands, he turned, lifting his hands, and
apparently tried to follow the legal requirement to immediately inform
an officer that he was an armed weapons permit holder, but he didn’t
have time.
The officer’s frantic orders lasted for
a slow count of 3 and were immediately followed by the two gunshots, a
momentary pause, and a volley of several more shots. There was no pause
or hesitation between the commands and the shots. The first round struck
Erik Scott in the heart, the second hit his right thigh. As he
collapsed to the ground, two other officers fired 5 more shots into his
back. Numerous witnesses reported that they saw Scott turn and declare
that he was a permit holder. Many said they could see both of his hands
and that he made no threatening move. All agreed that the only gun they
saw was the one in Scott’s waistband on his right hip.
Other witnesses reported that they saw Scott’s body removed by EMTs
and saw nothing on the ground except blood and a cell phone, or sun
glasses. EMTs reported that they removed Scott’s gun and holster from
the waistband of his jeans in the ambulance and that they saw no other
gun, yet, after police broke into Scott’s apartment and confiscated the
firearms there, the story came out that Scott was carrying two guns that
day.
A picture of the second gun, on the
ground near a cell phone, after the blood on the pavement had been
cleaned up, is the “proof” that Scott had two guns and pulled one on MPD
officers. The store’s video surveillance system inexplicably
malfunctioned for the several seconds of the shooting.
A coroner’s inquest concluded that the shooting was justified, just
as a similar inquest had concluded that the gunning down of an unarmed,
small-time pot dealer in his apartment a short time before the Scott
shooting was ruled to be justified. Just as such coroner’s inquests have
concluded that officer involved shootings were justified in 199 out of
200 incidents since 1976.
Erik Scott’s family has strongly contested the conclusions of the
coroner’s inquest and the entire inquest process. They succeeded in
getting some changes made to that process, but those changes have been
held up by suits from the police union.
The Scotts filed a wrongful death suit in federal court, but recently
dropped that effort, convinced that they had no hope of winning with
the system stacked against them.
Erik Scott’s father, a former Air Force
flight test engineer and writer for the prestigious aerospace magazine
Aviation Week & Space Technology, has painted a sympathetic,
fictionalized portrait of Erik and the events of that day as part of a
new novel he is offering in serialized form at ThePermit.blogspot.com
in hopes of maintaining awareness of Erik’s tragic death and bringing
attention to corruption within the justice system and government of Las
Vegas.
The police have a difficult job. They are put in positions and asked
to do things that most of us would run away from, but authority and
power must be tempered with responsibility and accountability. For
decades lawmakers and courts have built up walls of protection around
police and other government workers. It is critical that these public
servants be protected from frivolous suits and baseless harassment, but
they must be held accountable for their actions and investigations into
their activities must be beyond reproach. That is not the case
currently.
When one person’s irrational fear of a peacefully armed man can
result in that man being gunned down by police with no consequences for
anyone except the victim and his friends and family, something is
terribly, terribly wrong. Hoplophobia killed Erik Scott and a corrupt
system allowed his accusers and executioners get away with it.
Cooper, who faces up to 20 years if Judge Gloria Navarro decides not to
follow the governments recommendations, says he does not trust the
advice his attorney gave him and believes Navarro will throw the book at
him if he goes through with the plea and faces her for sentencing.
Cooper is not willing to trust her with his life after seeing the way
she treated him during the hearing to change his plea.
“I am going to do whatever I can to pull my plea agreement here in the State of Nevada,” Cooper said.
In speaking with other attorney, Cooper added, “They believe I’ve had
ineffective counsel and my attorney has not defended my rights the way
he should have. He has not contacted people I have told him to contact.
He has clearly (inaudible) my case, as well as was told by him to lie
and admit guilt in a courtroom to a crime I did not commit.”
“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.”
Cooper should be encouraged for renouncing the plea deal and we should
all be participating in both writing, encouraging and helping to fund
those who took a stand and are facing prison as political prisoners
under a criminal central government. For more on how you can help Blaine

Odds are, if you consider yourself a “constitutionalist,” or a true
“Patriot,” it’s a safe bet you already know what happened during the
early days of 2016 in Harney County, Oregon, during the Occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
Depending on who you talk to, some might refer to the series of events
as the “Bundy Standoff.” Wikipedia describes the events as follows, but
for those of us who paid close attention… it was much, much more.
The Bundy standoff was an armed confrontation between protesters and
law enforcement that developed from a 20-year legal dispute between the
United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and cattle rancher Cliven Bundy, over unpaid grazing fees on federally owned land in southeastern Nevada.
Since I covered the standoff from start to finish, at the bottom of
this post, you’ll find links to every story I did, and they are in
chronological order beginning with the first one at the top and the most
recent one at the bottom. In the following video, I provide a brief
recap of what transpired during the standoff. I'll explain who is
currently being held as political prisoners as a result of that
standoff, and I'll explain how they were taken by the same corrupt
government, and same corrupt politicians that sold this country's
Uranium to the Russians and the Chinese. Ultimately, I’ll explain how it
came to pass that Ryan Bundy’s face is all beat up as you can see above
in the picture.
During the video, and throughout the brief recap, I’ll also explain
who Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore and Gavin Seim are. Both of them
have done a great deal to try to help our wrongfully imprisoned brothers
and sisters. https://youtu.be/-KDKt1FfxFs
The next video was recorded by Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore and
Gavin Seim. The video can be found with a long article that
accompanies it HERE. The
video starts off with Michelle and Gavin explaining that Ryan Bundy was
recently abducted (for lack of a better word), from his prison cell.
Ryan's abduction prompted Ammon Bundy, Ryan’s older brother, to call his
wife Lisa and let her know what was happening.
As Michelle explains in the video, she got a frantic call from Lisa
Bundy, the wife of Ammon Bundy, who was the leader of the January
takeover at the ranch. Lisa called Michelle in the morning at 9:14 am
saying she had just spoken with her husband, and according to Fiore,
Lisa was quite frantic and in a panic because Ammon had told her that
guards “bum rushed” Ryan’s cell in order to convince him to go to the
hospital for the purpose of having a bullet removed from his arm.
To help paint the picture, without ruining the video, you should know
that “law enforcement” claimed no bullets were shot. “Law enforcement”
has claimed a lot of things since the standoff that have turned out to
be TOTAL lies, and I know that because I’ve seen and heard them with my
own eyes and ears on several of the videos contained in the posts linked
below. To sum up what’s going on, “law enforcement” NEEDS that bullet
to vanish, and it goes without saying, that Ryan Bundy NEEDS that
bullet right where it is, because It’s his only evidence. Watch the
video: https://youtu.be/-UGXFDBT8CE

Ryan Bundy is in Solitary Confinement until after his
trial. This means that he will have limited opportunities to prepare for
defending his freedom. How did this happen?
Bundy was a major player in the political protest that took place at
the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Harney County this past January. On
January 26, 2016, the FBI, in coordination with Oregon State Police
(OSP), staged an illegal “Deadman’s Roadblock” which resulted in the
murder of LaVoy Finicum. It also left a bullet, or possibly a fragment
of a bullet, in the arm of Ryan Bundy.
The FBI agents are already under investigation for lying during that
incident. They claimed that they did not fire their weapons. However, it
has been shown that there were two bullet casings
that were illegally removed from the scene. All of OSP’s shots have
been accounted for, therefore the shots seem to have come from the FBI.
This is all relevant because of the bullet left in Bundy’s arm. It
was never removed, even though he was treated for it after being
arrested. This could be crucial evidence of the FBI cover-up.
Bundy has maintained that he does not give permission to State or
Federal authorities to remove the evidence from his arm. He has said
that he is willing to have it removed, however, he has certain
conditions under which he will agree, including having an independent
forensic analysis done. The Federal authorities refuse these terms.
Therefore the bullet remains in Ryan Bundy.
This has caused some worrisome days for the FBI, as this bullet could
be the evidence that proves the case for these political prisoners.
They have been incarcerated for over 6 months for staging a political
protest, and bringing the government over reach to the limelight of the
country. They are scheduled for trial on September 7, 2016.
Early last week, Ryan was taken to a hearing in which the government
attempted to convince Bundy to allow them to remove the evidence from
his arm. He reiterated his terms for removal and the government, again,
denied those terms. They do not want anyone other than themselves to
retain, and analyze, the evidence against them.
Bundy was returned to his cell at Multnomah County Jail.
This past Tuesday, August 9th, Ryan Bundy was awakened
early by several guards. He was told to get up, as he had “an
appointment.” Bundy did not refuse to go, however, he did ask them where
he was going. This question was deemed inappropriate and considered to
be “refusing” to follow the guards orders.
By just asking a question.
They proceeded to manhandle him out of his cell. When they got to the
stairway, one guard, Sgt. Curtis E. Sanders, actually attempted to push
Ryan down the stairs. He was severely hurt, with his wrist dislocated,
his thumb either broken or dislocated, knee trouble, and head injuries.
Yes, this happened and it is under an official investigation. The
guards have not been relieved of their duties. They have not been placed
on administrative leave, or any other status. But, it is claimed that
there is an ‘Official’ investigation into how Ryan Bundy received such
severe injuries.
Bundy was taken to the courthouse that day and made to sit for hours.
He had no hearing or conference scheduled or completed. There were
suspicions that he would be taken to a hospital to have the bullet
evidence forcibly removed from his arm, but that did not happen. The
evidence remains within his arm.
While he was away from the jail, all of his belongings, including his trial preparation documents were thrown into garbage bags and removed from his cell.
After he was returned to the jail, Bundy was given an internal
“hearing” for his bad behavior in asking where he was being taken. This
“hearing” was conducted by internal employees, not an official judge.
He was not allowed to defend himself, he was barely allowed to speak.
All evidence was presented by the guards involved in the assault on him.
It was determined that he was guilty of disruptive behavior and has been sentenced to solitary confinement until September 17th, weeks after the trial is scheduled to begin.
This should be considered cruel and unusual punishment, as he has
been severely limited in his abilities to prepare for trial, as well as
his current physical health due to the assault by the guards. How does a
citizen of the USA defend his freedom under these circumstances?
But is this is business as usual in the Multnomah County Jail? Is it becoming commonplace for inmates to die in Multnomah, as there have been at least 2 deaths since the first of the year?
More recently, a video surfaced of a man as he was released from
Multnomah He described abuses that took place in the jail. Richard
Eldridge was incarcerated on charges of ‘Failing to properly use 911’,
then he was later released with no charges. He showed evidence of abuse
during his time within Multnomah. A very telling video describing
Constitutional violations that are normal in this country.
And yet, some still wonder why the Bundy’s,
and others, are still trying to highlight these abuses to the citizens.
They won’t wonder if they ever end up on the receiving end of this
uncontrollable government injustice.
#1) GET THE NARRATIVE RIGHT!
What “tactics” didn’t you agree with exactly? Here are the FACTS: The
group that occupied Malheur Wildlife Refuge did nothing more than
engage in a political protest, so unless you object to the First
Amendment, or you object to the Right to Bear Arms, then whatever
“tactics” you think they used were a distortion of the truth supplied to
you by the mainstream media.
The group occupied the refuge, and their occupation included being
armed for self-defense purposes only, NOT for preemptive strikes, a point that was made VERY clear to Sheriff Ward over and over. In other words, the men and women protesting were exercising
their rights protected under the Second Amendment to protect their
rights, which are to be protected under the First Amendment! To sum
up the first thing we can do, start by GETTING THE NARRATIVE
CORRECT, and then SPREAD the TRUTH to those still being manipulated by
the lies.
#2) START SHOWING UP!
Obviously this won’t be possible for everyone, but if you are within a
reasonable distance, start showing up. The group currently being held
as political prisoners showed up for you when it counted, and look what
it got them! It’s time we return the favor if we have the means to. and
that means showing up at the prisons to visit, at local rallies, or even
in the courtrooms. #3) START GIVING!
As I said already, It’s time to stop making excuses. It’s time we
either step up for liberty when it matters most, when it's under
attack, or we demonstrate to the world that we were never FOR liberty to
begin with. The group being held as prisoners put their lives, their
fortunes, and their sacred honor on the line for you, so even those
folks out here living through tough times should be able to spare a few
dollars to ease the suffering of those held captive, and the suffering
of their loves ones.

At least two sources are confirming that a Grand Jury has been called
to decide if there is enough evidence to indict four FBI HRT team
members in the coverup of LaVoy Finicum, who was shot and killed on January 26, 2016 by Oregon State Police.
Guerilla Media Network reports: Guerilla Media Network received information 10
days ago that a Grand Jury had been called to decide if there was enough
evidence concerning a coverup by “FBI HRT” Team Members on the ground
in Burns Oregon, to formally charge them with a crime. Members of HRT,
(Hostage Rescue Team) have been accused of shooting at LaVoy Finicum as
he exited his vehicle on January 26, 2016 with his hands in the air.
Legal sources in Portland told GMN that they were aware the Grand
Jury had been convened but did not have information about an actual
indictment, at the time the information was passed down to us.
So it’s Independence Day, 2016 and I’m a seventy-years-old man with wrinkles and wet eyes.
The wrinkles are a testament of how I forged my view of the world for
over half a century, as I now can see it looking back. Live and Learn.
Experience untied to time does not exist; and that explains the “old
man with wrinkles” part of the sentence above. But what about the wet
eyes?
I am a sensitive man who cannot bear too much reality, as I learned back in the 1960s in Viet Nam. I don’t cry easily. But it can happen, if only very rarely. And this morning, July 04, 2016, Independence Day, in the wee hours, it happened. Here’s how. Back in early June I traveled to the little town
named Plains, Montana, to join a rally for Jake Ryan’s release from
jail. Thirty-seven patriots had been jailed for daring oppose federal
abuse of States Rights. Jake Ryan was one of them. The rally turned into
a celebration as Jake was released.
I drove back again the next day to attend a speaking eventproduced
by Dan and Roxsanna Ryan, Jake’s parents. LaVoy Finicum’s widow,
Jeanette Finicum, was among the speakers. I bought a copy of her late
husband’s novel.
The title is “Only By Blood And Suffering“. This weekend I took time off and read the book. Just finished it. That is why my eyes are wet. It is Independence Day, 2016. The man who wrote this
book is dead and there is no getting him back this side of the grave.
Knowing that he is dead, and how he died, put a filter over my mind as I
read his book. I had written about him, had posted my favorite of his
videos, had followed the whole Burns, Oregon situation, but I did not
read LaVoy’s book until this weekend. I am blown away. I had no idea the man was a writer.
Wow. He grabbed me early on and built a surprising drive in me to
follow his story page by page. It is a cowboy’s take on Independence.
Yes, it’s that, but it’s also a tense portrait of a family’s struggle
to unite and save themselves as society breaks down in the aftermath of
an EMP attack. That is the context in which LaVoy Finicum developed his
story. What surprised me this weekend as I was reading his novel was
how, in tracing the trials and courage of a rancher’s son and daughters
as they struggled to get home to their ranch and safety, LaVoy
skillfully packed the principles of freedom into the narrative and action of the book.
LaVoy Finicum left no stone un-turned as he wove the nature of
“government” itself into the flesh-and-blood experience of humanity in
mankind’s endless struggle to achieve full freedom. He paints pictures
in words, words which expose a —
“…long train of abuses and
usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object [which] evinces a
design to reduce them under absolute Despotism…
LaVoy packed into his story the values of personal responsibility, of
reverence, love, courage, dignity, and commitment to a personal code of
honor. He did that (and much more) in contexts of modern-day cowboys
who live yet on the land while a wobbly world is under NSA satellite
surveillance, federal regulations, Homeland Security’s tyranny,
political correctness, advertising, “news”, economic manipulations, and
other blights on our freedom as Americans with a traditional way of life
on our vast natural lands within State borders.
There is treachery, gunfighting, spying, crowd-manipulation, defense
of farm, food, and family. There is also a damning indictment on crowd
mentality, which I laud him for doing masterfully. In the middle of all
that LaVoy has also developed a tender romance which I found to be
compelling as well as reassuring. My claim is that anyone who reads this
novel will love it, and all patriots (and especially their good
neighbors) simply must read this book.
As I already noted, I did not know LaVoy Finicum was a talented
writer. I tried my hand at doing a bit of writing myself. I know what is
involved in developing a story and I was floored at how masterfully
LaVoy built this book. The characters are fully developed, the action
is ever-so plausible, the facts of life in a cowboy’s world are
refreshing and encouraging. This book will inspire a generation and
reinforce the patriot movement greatly.
My point in talking about this book is simple. The original patriots,
those Colonists who defied their government to throw off subjugation
and establish thirteen free “sovereign nation-state Republics”, found
their success only “by blood and suffering“. LaVoy reminds us
that nothing has changed. To me, personally, the dominant challenge
which I felt riding like wild horses through his novel is simple – will I stand for freedom?
More than one dozen Arizona representatives signed a letter that was sent to Oregon Governor Kate Brown with reference to the investigation surrounding the murder of LaVoy Finicum during the occupation of Oregon's Malheur national Wildlife Refuge.
The letter
was addressed to Governor Brown, Oregon Rep. Greg Walden and FBI
Director James Comey on May 6, 2016 by Rep. Bob Thorpe and was signed by
another twelve members of the Arizona House and Senate.
"Recently, it was reported in the media that you Governor Brown, and
your Representative Walden, have expressed concerns about the actions of
officials concerning the January 26, 2016 traffic stop and shooting
death of our unarmed Arizona rancher, Mr. LaVoy Finicum," the letter
stated. "Governor Brown, you released a statement in which you called
into question the actions of federal agents, and described the report as
'troubling, and properly the subject of an ongoing investigation.'
Representative Walden, you stated that you were left 'bewildered by the
role of the FBI agents.'"
The representatives share similar concerns to those expressed by Brown and Walden. However, as we have pointed out through emails and text messages from in and around Governor Brown's office,
it seems quite clear that Governor Brown was merely a useful idiot,
just like Sheriff David Ward, the FBI and the Oregon State Police in the
murder of LaVoy Finicum, and that her actions were merely the string pulls of the Obama administration.
Speaking of the FBI, they are supposed to be conducting an internal investigation of two of their agents that illegally fired on LaVoy Finicum and apparently attempted to coverup the evidence.
The Arizona representatives pulled no punches in their letter.
"After gunning-dwon and killing the unarmed Finicum, who was shot in
his back 3 times, the federal government now has the audacity to label
Finicum, and the citizens who peacefully assembled along with him, as
domestic terrorists," the representatives wrote.
They then listed several of those who exercised their right to peaceably assemble under the protections of the First Amendment.
Ammon Bundy
Ryan Bundy
Brian Cavalier
Shawna Cox
Ryan Waylen Payne
Joseph Donald O'Shaughnessy
Peter Santilli
The letter went on to state, "Many Arizonans knew, morn and miss
LaVoy Finicum, and I am confident that he was not under any
circumstances a terrorist. According to the people who knew him, Finicum
was incapable of spreading fear and harming America, which is the very
definition of a domestic terrorist. In fact, by all accounts Finicum was
someone who only intended to spread an understanding of the needs of
the people living within the west. Additionally, he pointed out how the
western states, that have hundreds of millions of acres of untaxed
federally-controlled land within their boundaries, have not been treated
equally in comparison to eastern states."
"Our nation was founded by men who not only questioned the arbitrary
and capricious actions of unreasonable authority, but who also stood up
against that authority, and in so doing, forged a Constitutional
Republic," the representatives added. "Finicum's actions are
insignificant in comparison to those of Adams, Madison, Jefferson and
Washington. If our nation's founders lived today, would they merely for
political reasons be vilified and labeled as domestic terrorists?"
Well, don't look now Arizona Representatives, but indeed they are
being vilified and labeled in that manner. School curriculum that's
being churned out by Common Core advocates now presents the founding fathers as engaging in "acts of terrorism," even as central government agents are teaching those who work for the DC cartel that those men were terrorists.
The letter also contained a statement from Finicum's daughter, Tierra, from a radio interview, in which she stated:
"The kind of narrative that is going through our country is that
he [Finicum] was a domestic terrorist, gun slinging and violent man.
That is not my dad. He is a principled man. He is a gentle and diligent
person. I often think of Steven R. Covey; not because they were both
bald but because they lived by true principles. 'Early to bed, early to
rise.' He studied great works of literature. He studied the scriptures,
word of God and he wanted to be on the right side of God at all times.
He was my dad. I'm sure lots of girls say that their dad was the best
man they know, but that is my dad, and I want to be just like him."
While I do take issue with Finicum's Mormon theology and believe it
has some points that need serious correction, there is no doubt in my
mind that the stand that he and the others took with regard to the
usurpation of land in the west was not only constitutional, but was
right biblically. It was right to all out the crimes of the central
government and to oppose those who sought to steal others property and
to incarcerate them unjustly. In doing so, he did lay down his life in
the process.
The representatives then called upon the State of Oregon and the FBI
to "uphold their legal responsibility to fully and transparently
investigate this tragedy, and to quickly vindicate those who have been
wrongly accused."
There's little chance that a government that has acted criminally
will act justly in investigating themselves, but still there is hope
that evidence, like that which Pete Santilli wants to bring to the forefront,
will actually open the eyes of the American people to the point where
they cries against tyranny will be so loud that the central government
will be forced to back down. Let's pray that God would bring that to
pass!
Roxanna Ryan appeared on Northwest Liberty News
to talk about the arrest of her son Jake, 27, who was recently
apprehended at a stranger's shed in rural Clark County upon an
indictment, which remains sealed. The interesting thing is that Mrs.
Ryan says that there are at least five witnesses to the words of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation that promised that Jake would not be
arrested upon leaving the Malheur Wildlife Refuge, nor in the future
with regards to that occupation and protest. It seems they have been
caught in another lie!
If you recall, back in March, Jim White reported
on Montana Sheriff Tom Rummel had been talking to the feds and issuing
lawful commands for them to not enter his county to arrest Jake Ryan. At
that time, White was informed by Senator Jennifer Fielder that the feds
were complying with Rummel's orders.
We discovered in late March that Ryan's name was named in the Oregon Standoff indictment and a warrant was issued for his arrest for allegedly violating a Native American archeological site by digging a latrine during the protest, which is said to have caused more than $1,000 damages.
The indictment did cause a stir in the Montana County where he lived. However, it appears that though Jake was home with his parents, which he eventually decided to leave and head for Washington.
According to Mrs. Ryan, Jake faces three charges. He's charged with
federal conspiracy to impede officers at the federal wildlife refuge,
possession of a firearm or dangerous weapon in a federal facility and
depredation of government property. He's also accused of assisting Sean
Anderson in digging a large trench on an archaeological site at the
refuge considered sacred to the Burns Paiute Tribe.
Ryan was the last person to leave the refuge prior to the final four,
which ended the standoff. According to Mrs. Ryan, there are several
witnesses that have confirmed that the FBI gave their word that Ryan
would not be arrested for his participation when he left, nor in the
future. Apparently, their word is subject to change. It's sort of the
way they have handled the LaVoy Finicum murder, and seeing that the FBI agent in charge was linked to the lead agent at the Bundy Ranch siege and wrongful deaths in a 2009 investigation, I'm pretty sure something unethical took place.
Oregon Live reports:
Ryan had thought federal authorities had promised
that those who left the refuge wouldn't face arrest and so he was
"understandably distrustful of the federal government'' once he learned
he faced federal indictment, his lawyer said. He was concerned about his
personal safety and the consequences he'd face and didn't surrender,
Merrithew conceded.
"He was just plain scared,'' his lawyer said.
But Merrithew argued that his client also didn't pursue a "more
dangerous path'' as encouraged to by a "fringe element'' to provoke the
federal government into a standoff in Montana.
Ryan "just went peacefully'' once he was found in Clark County, Merrithew said.
Mrs. Ryan confirmed this report and said that her son was "kind, loving and gentle." She homeschooled
him and taught him the Constitution and said that when he heard of what
was taking place in Oregon, he was compelled to go. Mrs. Ryan also said
that many of the school children came up to the refuge to learn about
the Constitution from Ammon Bundy.
