IN DEFENSE OF RURAL AMERICA - 5 MONTHS FOR CLEANING OUT A DITCH! AND AN INTERESTING SEGUE TO A CONSTITUTIONAL PROBLEM IN MONTANA

(May
5, 2013) — It is true that we can’t pick our relatives and most
times we can’t pick our neighbors, but many times either can bring us
grief beyond belief. And such was the case for John (not his real name as he requested anonymity) who
owned a few acres of land in a rural area of America, about a half
hour’s drive from a big city. Unfortunately, the government has passed
so many laws that neighbors never settle their differences face-to-face
or in the courts any more. One neighbor just calls the government and
files a complaint on his neighbor, which the government is honor-bound
to investigate, whether the complaint is valid or just neighbor
revenge.
Government
laws have turned many Americans into sniveling snitches. In one county
we know, the local land use authorities were holding seminars for
landowners, teaching them how to rat on their neighbors if they suspect
their neighbor was doing something without benefit of a permit. That is
what we have come to from passing millions of laws that nobody knows,
which leads to the government pitting neighbor against neighbor.
From
what we understand, John’s neighbor had a minor grievance with John
over some work along a common boundary, and instead of working it out
man-to-man, the neighbor called the county land use authorities (CLUA)
and filed a complaint. The CLUA comes out, looks at what John is doing
and says they didn’t see any problem; John didn’t need a permit and went
away. That wasn’t good enough for John’s neighbor and he kept bugging
CLUA until they came out to the property and told John that he needed to
cease and desist. But John had already ceased and desisted with
whatever he had been doing. That wasn’t good enough for CLUA, thanks to
continued bugging by John’s neighbor, and CLUA finally filed
misdemeanor charges against John for continuing to do alleged illegal
work that John had already stopped. Essentially John’s activities
consisted of cleaning out some areas around a ditch and burning the
slash, for which John had gotten a burning permit.
John
ignored their warnings for several months and thought the whole issue
had gone away. But behind the scenes John’s neighbor kept pressuring
CLUA and the county prosecutor to “get” John.
CLUA
and the county prosecutor dragged John into District Court on
misdemeanor charges for filling a wetland and John elected to represent
himself for what he thought was just a minor land use violation that he
could make go away. No such luck. The prosecutor and the District
Court judge decided to make an environmental example out of John by
thwarting every legal attempt John made to defend himself, to the point
that the judge found John in contempt of court and sentenced him to 150
days in jail on a full cash bond of $20,000 each, for five
separate contempt of court charges. Not having $100,000 to pay the
court, John was forced to sit in jail with thieves and murderers for
over 60 days before a third party filed a writ of Habeas Corpus in
Superior Court and had to fork over $20,000 in cash to get John out of
jail on appeal.
Oh,
did we tell you that the wetland charge was made by creating the
wetland AFTER John had done his clearing and burning? There was no
wetland designation in the area anytime before John did his work. In
other words, the prosecutor drummed up the charges by creating a wetland
violation after the fact. That’s how they “got” John.
While
out on appeal John used every legal trick he knew to get the case
dismissed but the court clerk would fail to file and record his
motions. Some motions were lost, others ignored. The District Court
judge literally thumbed his nose at all of John’s efforts. When John
filed a motion to get his case elevated to Superior Court because
according to the state Constitution, the lower court has no jurisdiction
in real estate cases, the District Court judge de-railed that, too.
John filed
motions in Superior Court to get the lower court decision rescinded.
The Superior Court would hear none of it either. We not only read the
transcripts of the lower court record but also attended the District
Court and Superior Court hearings. The transcript screamed of the
District Court judge’s environmental bias against John and he was going
to “get” John any way he could. We even filed written complaints with
the District Court and the Superior Court, signed by several
landowners. We wrote articles about John’s case that appeared in local
venues. The District Court judge wouldn’t let go.
Finding
no help in the two lower courts, John filed motions with the state
appellate court. No help there, either. John went to the State Supreme
Court. They refused to hear the case.
Finally,
just days before the District Court’s order to send John back to jail
for another 90 days and pay a fine of another $1,000, John filed for
clemency with the Governor of the state. The Governor ignored John’s
plea. John tried to get the District Court to give him credit for time
served and for good behavior while in jail for the first 63 days. The
District Court judge said emphatically, NO! and John went back to jail
to sit with thieves and murderers again, essentially for doing
maintenance on HIS property.
Some
of us tried to help John but our efforts fell on deaf ears. John was
forced back to jail for another 90 days for a charge of clearing out a
wetland that didn’t exist before the act of clearing. John became a
sacrificial lamb in the name of radical environmentalism. You have to
steal a car seven times before you go to jail, but woe be to the
landowner who dares to violate a sacred environmental ordinance, for he
shall be sacrificed on the alter of Gaia, the God of Earth.
Perhaps,
in hindsight, John should have hired a land use attorney and made the
charges against him go away. But he chose to defend himself as a
proud American. Perhaps that was an error in judgment on John’s part,
but he and we will never know. Whether defending yourself, or with a
lawyer, going into court is a gamble at best and any good lawyer will
admit it. Court rules are voluminous and can easily trip up the unwary
who dares to defend him- or herself in court. It is a closed,
elite club of judges, lawyers, clerks and the state bar association and
they rule the “Club.” They don’t like people defending themselves
because it messes up their neat little kingdom. Judges legislating from
the bench are as common as houseflies. Oversight of courts is
tantamount to the Fox guarding the Hen House. But all that is moot now
for John.
(We
have had our own sad experiences with the court system. One of those
experiences cost us $35,000 in attorney’s fees for what was blatantly a
frivolous lawsuit.)
John
has been out of jail now for several years but the experience has left
him emotionally, if not financially drained. We haven’t talked to him
in those intervening years and we don’t even know if he still resides on
his land.
If
you don’t think that what happened to John can happen to you, think
again. It is happening all over America. Every week we get one or more
e-mails or phone calls from landowners who are in trouble with
government. Most of them are desperate because they have let their
situation go too far where the government has the landowner by the
throat and the fines and penalties are mounting up. Some are facing
jail time.
So,
ladies and gentlemen, do you have a neighbor who has it in for you?
Will he work it out with you personally, or will he call the
government? Odds are he will call the government because he is a coward
and it is easier than facing you. When he does call the government,
you are going to find yourself in a world of hurt because the code
enforcement officer they send out WILL find something wrong on your
property and they WILL fine you or tell you that you have to restore
your property to its original condition, which will cost you a bundle.
They may even haul you off to jail as they did John.
We can help some landowners with some of the tools on our website. Unfortunately, there are many we can’t help because the government has the law on their side and they have the money(our money) and their own attorneys to thwart any efforts you may attempt to defend yourself. It’s a stacked deck at best.

Last year, Joel Boniek of Park County, MT, ex-State Representative and Oathkeeper, was arrested by the US Forest Service for daring to ignore Forest Service personnel's orders prohibiting him access to his own property in order to save/protect what he could during a forest fire. After two appearances at which he proceeded to defend himself (pro se), his references to the Constitution were labeled "seditious". He was supported by many neighbors, friends and patriots.
His trial commences on Friday. But here are interesting "coincidences".
Add to this, the information at this link: http://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/montana/atf-offers-reward-in-red-lodge-explosives-theft/article_ed989256-9bbf-5f2e-b5b4-5fc7bd513532.html
If this is a coincidental incident or treacherous false flag, it matters that people know about it beforehand, and that if it is just a coincidence, Joel Boniek's rights in a courtroom in Montana need to be upheld. No one should be railroaded like he's been.

- There has been 559 lbs of explosives stolen in Red Lodge, MT from the Forest Service. Some are of the emulsion type specific for mines because they have little backblast.
- They will be having a nuke exercise across the state starting on Monday running all week, that will ensure DHS, FEMA, FBI, DOD will be in the state
- Boniek's trial is on Friday, where he has been told he cannot stand on the Constitution and that will draw MT. patriots from all over the state into one location.

A CURE FOR THE COMMON CORE (EDUCATION SOCIALIST/PROGRESSIVE/COMMUNIST STYLE)
RESOLUTION 1
Retain Local Control of K-12 Education by Parents and States
Retain Local Control of K-12 Education by Parents and States
WHEREAS,
parents will lose control of their children’s K-12 education under the
Common Core State Standards Initiative (Common Core), and this overhaul
of Alabama’s education system will be completed by 2014;
WHEREAS,
most parents remain unaware specific details of Common Core and will be
virtually unable to change programs or correct problems since education
decisions will ultimately be mandated by unaccountable bureaucrats and
special interests in Washington, D.C.;
WHEREAS,
Common Core invades students’ privacy by requiring the collection of
personal, non-academic information, which will be shared with the
federal government and private organizations without parents’
permission;
WHEREAS,
Common Core requires that students be tracked from preschool through
their careers, and the collection of Alabama student data has already
started and will become part of a national database;
WHEREAS,
the U.S. Department of Education is funding the development of national
curriculum guidelines, modes, and materials, as well as national
assessments based on the Initiative’s standards, which creates a
national curriculum and testing system;
WHEREAS,
The U.S. Department of Education is violating multiple federal laws
that specifically prohibit any federal direction, control, or
supervision of curricula, programs of instruction, and instructional
materials in the elementary and secondary schools, and this is an
invasion of states’ rights;
WHEREAS,
Common Core de-emphasizes classical literature and American history,
and will replace literary works about Western Civilization with
informational texts such as executive orders and work manuals, which
will further diminish students’ knowledge of the moral, historical and
cultural foundations of our country;
WHEREAS,
Common Core violates the founding principle that parents and states,
not federal government, control local education, as well as the Alabama
State Constitution of 1901, Article I, Section 35, which states that
“the sole object and only legitimate end of government is to protect the
citizens in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property, and when the
government assumes other functions it is usurpation and oppression;
WHEREAS, implementation of Common Core will cost Alabama taxpayers many millions of dollars to revamp state education systems, although they had no voice or vote in the matter; and
WHEREAS,
it is urgent that the Alabama Legislature exercise its constitutional
authority and duty to protect its citizens against an overzealous
federal government and keep education decisions local by protecting
state education sovereignty, since next year will be too late; now
therefore
BE
IT RESOLVED BY the Alabama Republican Party Executive Committee that we
request the Alabama Legislature to (1) repeal and defund Common Core,
(2) prohibit the collection and sharing of non-academic information on
students by Alabama schools that is inconsistent with the 1974 Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERP) or any update approved by
Congress so as to protect the privacy of students, and (3) require that
any new or revised statewide educational standards that vastly change
the education system to be extensively publicized to ensure that members
of the public, including representatives of political, education, faith
organizations and non-partisan policy institutes are informed and have
ample opportunity to comment before any decision is made.
Submitted by: Elois Zeanah, Alabama Federation of Republican Women
This was sent to me by a friend in Alabama. If you know anything about Common Core and understand its purpose, you will make your changes accordingly, add your own concerns and bring it to the attention of the party of your choice. This Common Core method of teaching is very dangerous to the family and to the student. I hope you will use this as a tool to defeat Common Core in American public schools.

OBAMA'S DRONES - COMING TO A WINDOW NEAR YOU FROM THE SOVEREIGN INVESTOR
Obama’s
Drones – Coming to a Window Near You!
By Bob Bauman, Offshore and
Asset Protection Editor
Dear Sovereign Investor
Subscriber,There are two Capitol Hills in America and last week they seemed far apart on one issue.
The better known hill is in Washington, D.C., which has served as American media shorthand to describe the U.S. Senate and House ever since congressmen first met in sessions on the Hill in 1800.
The other Capitol Hill is exactly 2,323 miles to the northwest. A charming, densely populated residential district in Seattle, a city known for its liberal politics in the State also named for our first president. Their Capitol Hill is the city’s gay and counterculture district.
Last week, both Capitol Hills were caught in the Great Drone Debate.

World’s Simplest Trading
System?Respected trader gets scathing letter from frustrated newbie, giving him an impossible challenge.
A really simple trading system? Less than 10 min a day? And for under $300?
Can he do it? Click here to read the letter and find out!
On Wednesday, a Seattle City Council committee held a hearing to regulate unmanned police surveillance drones. The local Police Department already had two Draganflyer X6 Helicopter Tech drones bought with taxpayer money. A crowd of angry opponents, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), voiced spirited opposition to these spy drones, concerned about privacy.
Council members were accused of being “… more dangerous than Nazis... than Communists… than the Gestapo… than then KGB.” One citizen said the council was creating “a police state.”
By Sunday, the resulting city-wide uproar prompted Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn, down in local polls, to ground the drones, which were subsequently returned to the sellers, along with the demand for a refund.
Also last week, Charlottesville, Va., imposed a two-year moratorium on the use of unmanned surveillance drones, the first U.S. city to do so.
News reports indicated that Seattle City Council, hearing citizens from across the political spectrum, were roused in common cause by what they saw as a threat to their personal privacy – police eyes in the sky peering into their vehicles, yards, homes, bedrooms – looking for what?
That unity is an example for us all.
The Slippery Slope
Now put aside for a moment the lethal aerial drones Obama uses to destroy annoying human beings he judges to be imminent threats to Americans (whatever that means in a point of time).How long will it be before the president and his lapdog attorney general conclude that Citizen X or Citizen Y are engaged in some nefarious actions that must be stopped, such as tax evasion or others offenses, such as hoarding precious metals or hiding unreported cash offshore.
Why waste time with due process and antiquated conventional investigative means? A tech-savvy, drone-happy president can order aerial surveillance of suspect groups or persons using a drone equipped with DARPA's surveillance video camera, ARGUS-IS (see demo), that at 15,000 feet over a small city can see and record movements as small as a human hand or the wagging of a dog’s tail. Arrest and confiscation of assets follow within minutes.
To target a suspect’s home or business, the president can order up a fleet of half-ounce Black Hornet Nano miniature surveillance helicopters, drones so small they can fit in the palm of your hand. Fitted with a tiny camera they relay still images and video to a remote video terminal manned by a police agent. The Nanos are so tiny a flock easily can hover outside your bedroom window like humming birds.
Surveillance drones already are used to patrol U.S. borders and by some U.S. police departments, but a year ago the U.S. Congress also got drone happy. Over little opposition or showing no concern about privacy, the politicians on the Hill ordered the Federal Aviation Administration to promote wider government, police and commercial drone use by September 30, 2015.
Congress ignored warnings about warrantless surveillance violations of the Fourth Amendment, police drones armed with tear gas and rubber bullets, which some departments want to use, and U.S. military drones in the U.S. sharing data with domestic law enforcement.
But the heart of the matter was summed up by Glenn Greenwald, a respected constitutional lawyer, who said about the leaked DOJ memo: “If you believe the president has the power to order U.S. citizens executed far from any battlefield with no charges or trial, then it’s truly hard to conceive of any asserted power you would find objectionable.”
Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely
That is exactly the point – and why we should all be worried – why we should all be actively protesting the spreading use of drones as a potential means to violate all our constitutional rights.If an omnipotent president can claim a general right to kill Americans whom he defines as “terrorists,” who and what will be on his terrorist list in the future?
Remember the 2001 PATRIOT Act adopted sight-unseen by Congress? Its broad definition of terrorism has been used to justify radical government actions, most kept secret as the Act permits.
Arial drones, unseen at great heights, can track your every move. Combine that all-seeing eye with GPS trackers on your cars, RFID chips in your IDs, wiretapping, Internet surveillance, passport control and FATCA.
Friends, plain clothed officers and unmarked police cars are relics of the past.
Yes indeed, the Constitution of the Unites States guarantees that we shall not be “deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law,” that we have a right to trial and to be charged with a crime.
But if the president of the United States, as a Columbia Law School professor described President Obama’s actions a few days ago, “is acting as judge, jury and executioner,” how are we to defend ourselves?
We can at least start by demanding that Capitol Hill outlaw the use of surveillance drones against the 315,279,355 presumed innocent Americans now living in the United States.
Faithfully yours,
Bob Bauman
