Jerry Delemus, the husband of a New Hampshire Republican lawmaker and co-chair of the state’s “Veterans for Trump” coalition, was arrested Thursday for his role in the armed standoff nearly two years ago at the Bundy ranch.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested Delemus on nine federal charges — including conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, threatening a federal law enforcement officer, obstruction of justice, attempting to impede or injure a federal law enforcement officer and several firearms charges, reported Portsmouth Patch.

The Tea Party activist and outspoken Donald Trump supporter traveled cross-country in 2014 to take part in the armed standoff between Bureau of Land Management agents and Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his militia supporters in a dispute over unpaid grazing fees.

It is odd that he would support Trump.

Had Trump been president when that went down, he would have just drone-bombed the militia.

Trump on the stand-off...


"I think what I'd do, as president, is I would make a phone call to whoever, to the group," he said, adding later, "I'd talk to the leader. I would talk to him and I would say, 'You gotta get out — come see me, but you gotta get out.'"

"You cannot let people take over federal property," Mr. Trump said. "You can't, because once you do that, you don't have a government anymore. I think, frankly, they've been there too long."

Mr. Trump said he wasn't necessarily suggesting a large-scale military action, but that "at a certain point you have to do something and you have to be firm and you have to be strong, you have to be a government."

Shaddup with the Trump-humping already.

I'm putting this here:


Personally, I could give a fuck about this election. If '12 didn't convince the 'liberty' movement that the electoral process is rigged, i.e. what happened to Ron at the convention - then we've been not only divided, but conquered.

Why does ANYONE care about this shit? There are peaceful protestors for the ranchers in the west who are getting arrested without bail!!!!!!!!!! Their lands are being confiscated because of their mineral rich content!!!!!!! They are being murdered in cold blood!!!! And most of the 'liberty' movement has gotten sucked into the Jerry Springer show that is our electoral process.

So disappointing. These forums have been taken over too. What a loss!

Wake the fuck up people!!!

DON'T YOU GET IT???? THEY ARE ARRESTING PEACEFUL PROTESTORS! They are nabbing them when they least expect it!! Will we be next because we care?? This feels like Nazi Germany.

Pay attention to what really matters right now and stop letting your stupid selves be distracted by the dog and pony show, Jesus Christ Almighty!! What the fuck is it going to take???

This is where a bug out plan is essential. After the initial purge anyone that was at Bundy Ranch and had their face on youtube, in a paper or on FB that didn't plan for this was only asking to be rolled up.
Now is the time for the remaining ones to hole up on some private property ground.
I'm gonna have to look at the indictment especially since this regarded the Bundy Ranch occupation. It seems to me that Stuart Rhodes and crew are going to have to do some scrambling. Either the OK group is going to start seeing some indictments or they are going to have to start explaining why they were not included.

FBI makes more arrests related to 2014 Bunkerville confrontation



By JEFF GERMAN
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL



FBI agents are arresting more people in the investigation into the April 2014 armed standoff with law enforcement near the Bunkerville ranch of Cliven Bundy.

Federal authorities could not immediately be reached for comment, but the arrests appear to be part of a nationwide roundup.

A new 63-page federal indictment returned in Las Vegas Wednesday was unsealed in New Hampshire this morning revealing roughly 14 more defendants. Most of the names of the defendants were blacked out.

One defendant, Gerald DeLemus, was arrested in New Hampshire, court records show.

DeLemus was accused of being a “mid-level leader” and organizer who recruited armed Bundy followers for the standoff. Hundreds of Bundy supporters showed up at his ranch.

DeLemus, who was at the ranch during the April 12, 2014, showdown with BLM and National Park Service rangers, is the husband of a New Hampshire Republican state representative.

The Bundy family’s Twitter account this morning said Cliven Bundy’s son Dave was arrested arrested in Utah. The Salt Lake Tribune later reported that his wife had confirmed his arrest early this morning near Delta, Utah, where he was building a home. His name does not appear on the new Las Vegas indictment.

Two other people, Bundy family bodyguards Brian Cavalier and Blaine Cooper, were also indicted. Both are in federal custody in Portland, Ore., where they face charges in connection with another armed standoff at a wildlife refuge in that state. Both are alleged to be “mid-level” leaders in the Nevada standoff.

Cliven Bundy, his sons Ammon and Ryan, and two supporters were originally indicted by a federal grand jury in Las Vegas on Feb. 17.

They each face 16 felony counts, including extortion, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer and assault on a federal officer.

All five men who were earlier arrested were described in a 51-page indictment as the leaders of the “massive armed assault” against federal officers a few miles from the Bundy ranch on April 12, 2014. The Bundys used “deceit and deception” to lure followers across the country to Bundy’s call to arms, the indictment alleged.

The confrontation aimed to force federal officials to abandon about 400 cattle they had rounded up under court orders, according to the indictment. The Bundy family had been illegally grazing cattle on federal public lands for more than 20 years.

Bundy, 69, is in federal custody and has been ordered transported to Las Vegas to face the charges. He was arrested in Portland last month on his way to support the wildlife refuge standoff in Eastern Oregon. His sons are in custody in Portland on charges stemming from the occupation of the refuge.

The new Las Vegas indictment repeats much of the allegations contained in the original charging document.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

They left before the stand off.

Ah, ok. I see where you are coming from. That's why I wanted to look at the indictments. To see if they were charges from a certain time period. Because OK was there in the lead up. They provided comm support, as in had comms they brought stolen, and the original tussle, IIRC, with Payne was that he was leaving a back door open and that lead to suspicion that Payne was actively wanting a firefight by leaving an unchallenged avenue of approach.
So these indictments only stem from a very limited time period during the engagement?

These Bundy Ranch indictments were on hold until public sentiment allowed the Fed to pursue them. Otherwise they would have already done so. If it weren't for Malheur then the rounding up would have met enough resistance to back fire. As it is...Harry Reid is laughing his ass off right now. Fuck.

I'm in 100% agreement. Malheur was Paynes Op. I don't think the Bundy's would have even considered it unless someone put that worm in their ear. And the only one to put that worm in their ear was the one that...had their ear.

It doesn't matter now that Malheur is/was FUBAR. It's not a good reason to abandon these people just because their strategy wasn't up to par. They were peaceful protestors from the start!! ALL of them! They camped out at an unmanned wildlife refuge, big fucking deal, so now everyone should die or be arrested??? And all the Bundys did was try to save their cattle from being confiscated, and killed and they protested the BLM's unlawful take over. Now a 73 year old man and 3 of his sons are in jail with no bail and possibly for 20 years??? And everyone is okay with that?? And what about the Hammonds?? Does anyone on this forum even know what the BLM did to them??

And like him or not, Santilli was "press" and nothing more and they still have him in the can albeit transferred to Nevada. Rights are being violated left and right and all anyone cares about is that the protestors' strategy was all wrong. Not saying you Phill, or anyone here who cares about this. But Glen, for example, I mean wtf is up with him?

This is so disgusting. The statist mentality has infested every federal enforcement agency and the federal government is running scared. Have you raised your voice in dissent against the government’s unlawful land grabs out west? Then get ready to meet your Maker, or your Slavemaster (who somehow has come to think it created you). They are picking off the ones who stood up to protect the Bundy family from gun-pointing BLM thugs. Never forget – the BLM pointed guns at innocent ranchers and their family before anyone pointed guns back at the unlawful BLM criminals.

Today, March 03, 2016, has been a very dark day for the Constitution, as badge-toting statist ego-maniacs arrested good Americans for standing up to the federal government’s criminality. Just hours ago, on March 03, 2016, the Salt Lake Tribune posted this article with a pictured fingerprint over-layed with the appropriate name for what this government has done – “CRIME” — Though the newspaper wants readers to think that the victims of these arrests are criminals, history will show that the government and its minions are the ones who actually have committed “crime”.

They are at Ada County Jail. The first release of the superseding indictment had most of their names redacted, so they were probably serving warrants at that time:

They lie in wait and pick people off one by one so there cannot be a coordinated response. Guerrilla enforcement. And they don't need to round up thousands, or even hundreds. Just 10-20 to make examples to the rest. So this plays out one of two ways: the sheep get in line and we continue the slow methodical march to 1984. Or, there's actual resistance, bullets start to fly in isolated incidents, the police state ramps up, more tyranny begets more deaths, both sides become galvanized, martial law is implemented and we descend into a protracted civil war, much like what the U.S. foments in other nations.

I see the first scenario as the most likely. Second one is remote at best. Either way, a bleak future indeed. A financial collapse, currency crisis, government crisis or some other major external force could upset the apple cart, and all bets are off.

times like these I wish I had a red pill. Shit is FUBAR and getting worse.

Looks like they are going for even very minor participants...


It was about 10 in the morning when law-enforcement vehicles pulled up to the modest home where Eric Lee Flores, his girlfriend and their 6-month-old baby daughter were staying.

There were three to five cars, at least one tribal police vehicle, and maybe three unmarked cars with FBI agents. It’s hard to keep an exact count when things heat up.

Flores’ monthlong adventure into the world of self-described patriots had come to a discomfiting end on Feb. 11.

The agents came because of federal grand-jury papers: Flores was one of seven men most recently indicted in the armed takeover of a national wildlife refuge in Oregon that had made headlines around the world with its images of cowboys and guns.

Eric Lee Flores was indicted in the armed takeover of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
Of the 25 people indicted in all, each faces up to six years in prison on charges of conspiracy to impede federal employees from performing their duties. It’s unclear all the charges they will face because the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Portland has stated that it plans to file a new indictment that could include additional charges.

Of the bunch, Flores, at 22, is the youngest.

Shouts of support, waves for jailed Bundy brothers
The rally happened near the federal courthouse in downtown Portland
KOIN 6 News Staff Published: March 5, 2016, 2:58 pm Updated: March 6, 2016, 4:44 pm

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — About 100 people rallied in downtown Portland Saturday in support of Ammon and Ryan Bundy, at one point even stopping and waving up at their jail cells.

A group rallied in downtown Portland in support of Ryan and Ammon Bundy, Mar. 5, 2016 (KOIN)

The group wanted the Bundy brothers to know that even though they are behind bars, people on the outside are still fighting for their cause.

“Laws have been manipulated to assign titles like terrorism, to people who are assets to our community and the American people in general,” said Kelli Stewart, of a group called We The People.

Some people were there to support LaVoy Finicum, an occupier who was killed during a standoff with police.

“Not everything has come out about what happened to LaVoy,” said Bruce Cuff, one-time candidate for Oregon Governor....

... Other gatherings were held at public parks and government buildings in Salem and Bend, Oregon, and Olympia, Washington.

Spoke with a couple of the land owners along the Red River yesterday. It is amazing how many of them still have faith in the legal system to ultimately sort it all out.

CONCORD, N.H. – A New Hampshire man will return to court on federal charges in connection with his role in an armed standoff by Nevada ranchers opposed to federal control of public lands.

Gerald DeLemus, of Rochester, was named in a federal indictment made public last week as a "mid-level leader" and organizer of a conspiracy to recruit, organize, train and provide support to armed men and other followers of rancher Cliven Bundy.

Bundy was arrested last month on charges stemming from the2014 standoff with federal officials in Nevada over hundreds of seized cattle.

The 61-year-old DeLemus was arrested Thursday and appeared in federal court in Concord, New Hampshire, where his lawyer and a prosecutor agreed to delay his detention hearing until Monday.

DeLemus could opt Monday to move his hearing to Nevada.

I had to jog the memory a bit but this case against Delemus got me recollecting about the Bundy stand-off. I had thought that Delemus showed up after the stand-off and it seems so by the wording and dating in this article...


Days after agents with the Bureau of Land Management ended their effort to round up Cliven Bundy's cattle to ease mounting tensions, the showdown between the rancher and the federal government is still attracting armed conservative activists from around the country to a dusty stretch of land about 80 miles east of the Vegas Strip.

Last Tuesday, as he started to read more and more about the situation on The Drudge Report, Jerry DeLemus decided to give Bundy a call.

They spent more than an hour on the phone. "What do you need?" said DeLemus, who was calling from some 2,700 miles away in Dover, N.H.

"I need help," Bundy told him. "I need bodies."

"I'm coming," DeLemus said.

It was as simple as that, DeLemus told Business Insider Tuesday. Soon, he began the long drive in his truck. His son; his friend, Jack; and Jack's son accompanied him on the cross-country trip. All in all, it took 41 hours across a three-day span. They began driving at 5:30 a.m. last Thursday and made it there by Saturday afternoon. They barely took any break

http://www.businessinsider.com/bundy-ranch-standoff-nevada-jerry-delemus-2014-4

As far as the Oregon stand-off goes....


DeLemus said he wanted to make clear, “I’m not going out there to join up with them or to continue the standoff at the refuge. I don’t think it’s the correct avenue to go. But I couldn’t in good conscience sit at home knowing these people and thinking that there is a possibility that I could help to end this thing.

“If someone got hurt, I’d never forgive myself.”

“I’m just asking for prayers,” DeLemus added. “Pray that it ends peacefully. That’s the most important thing.”

The reality is that I've never made any bones about being a 100% strict Constitutionalist, and AntiFed and I get along like gangbusters. You, by repeatedly antagonizing him against Constitutionalism are in fact radicalizing him, and doing your level best to turn an ally and a fellow traveller into something else. What you are doing by pushing poking and prodding AntiFed to rant against Strict Constitutionalism is not helping. We agree on policy and principle to at least the 99th percentile, and I sorely wish you wouldn't keep pushing a friend and an ally away for no good reason. Mostly because you find his vocabulary distasteful.

As a 100% committed Strict Constitutionalist, I get where you are coming from, but you should probably pick on targets that are not already 99% allies.

While neither appearing in either the Federalist papers or the Anti Federalist papers, Thomas Jefferson founded the Democratic-Republican Party explicitly to oppose the Hamiltonian Federalist Party. Also, Jefferson supported and lobbied for a Bill of Rights, which thing was an Anti Federalist platform and openly opposed by the Federalists.

It's no doubt that LaVoy felt he was under fire from the time he left the initial stop. Because he was. From the admitted non-lethal round at the initial stop. The three shots into the vehicle as he approached the road block. Then the two shots by the HRT operator as he exited the vehicle with his hands up. What is a man supposed to do when he is being fired upon? I have no doubt that LaVoy was trying to draw fire and attention away from those in the truck. That makes him a hero to me.

This is generally the starting point where sovereigns go off the tracks. Their whole belief system is based on misinterpretation of the content or relevance of certain claims they use to build their ideology. When they get into citations, often they are incorrect or irrelevant after many generations of OCR and copypasters.

Regarding the sovereign stuff, it is sort of a morbid fascination of mine to follow their exploits, particularly in court. There are very few claims/counterclaims out there that I haven't seen, and as of now, it's no real secret where I stand on them (or "stand under").

I recommend to anyone who really wants to explore these topics, look at them from both sides, especially if it is something you are already willing to risk your property, family relationships, freedom or life. Meads v. Meads is a good place to start.

OK. Found it....

Now, looking again it does not look like the windshield was pierced. So it might be possible that there was a fragment from the shot to the hood which skipped and hit. However, the hood looks like it was a penetrating shot.

It seems mighty odd that no mention of this was made.

Oregon State Police

Troopers are using body cameras on a limited basis, Lt. Josh Brooks said.

Right now, OSP Fish & Wildlife troopers have in-car camera plus body cameras. Most of their work is done away from the vehicle, Brooks said.

Patrol troopers wear an audio recorder that is captured on an electronic drive then placed on a DVD in the trooper’s vehicle, Brooks said. The camera in the patrol vehicle records activity in front of or near the patrol car.

“This gives us better data storage to record and maintain the hundreds of traffic stops made by troopers across the state each day,” Brooks wrote in an e-mail.

Finicum's Wake

http://freedominourtime.blogspot.com/2016/03/finicums-wake.html

https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CnfD0neOAAQ/Vt_PN1ZERgI/AAAAAAAAMls/5MHpwaijhtA/s400/Finicum.jpg

He tended herds, rather than serving the state: LaVoy Finicum, a man in full.



Somewhere there are still peoples and herds, but not with us, my brethren; here there are states….

A state is called the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly it lies also; and this lie creepeth from its mouth: `I the state, am the people.’…

Destroyers are they who lay snares for many, and call it the state….

Nietzsche, “The New Idol,” from Thus Spake Zarathustra



The late rancher LaVoy Finicum sought to elude the state’s armed enforcers, but he wasn’t attempting to evade the law. His intent, as he explained clearly and repeatedly to OSP troopers before the lethal ambush at a roadblock on Oregon Highway 395, was to travel to John Day to meet with Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer, who could have taken him into custody, if just cause existed for that action.

Finicum, who nurtured a winsome if misguided faith in the Constitution, entertained the hope that Palmer might be a peace officer who was willing to act in the name of the people, rather than enforcing the will of the state.

If the objective of the FBI and the OSP on January 26 had been to arrange the peaceful arrest of Finicum and his associates, they would have reached out to Palmer. The destination of the convoy was known, as was its purpose – to convene a town hall meeting, not to commit a violent offense.

Rather than coordinating with Palmer, the FBI and the local lickspittles in uniform deliberately ignored him, and withheld any information about the plan to interdict the convoy. This is because Sheriff Palmer is seen as a “security leak” owing to his sympathies with the ranchers and other residents of his rural county who have been driven into destitution by the federal government.

Staging a combat-grade operation – spearheaded by the FBI’s official death squad, which bears the trans-Orwellian title of “Hostage Rescue Team (HRT)” – was the riskiest way to carry out an arrest. It was, however, the most effective way to exert the supposed authority of the federal government. This is also why the HRT, at some risk to the passengers in Finicum’s vehicle and the OSP officers on the ground, tried to assassinate Finicum after he attempted to run the roadblock.

Malheur County District Attorney Dan Norris (about whom I’ll have much more to say below) points out that three shots were fired by OSP officers as Finicum approached the roadblock at an estimated speed of 70 miles per hour. Three more shots were fired into the victim’s back after he exited the truck, killing him.

“In the early stages of the investigation we could not explain the fourth shot into the roof of the truck or its trajectory, given the placement of the Oregon State Police troopers at the time,” explained Norris in the March 8 press conference. “During the course of our investigation, we discovered evidence that FBI HRT operators fired two shots as Mr. Finicum exited the truck, and one shot hit the truck…. Neither of these two shots fired by HRT operators struck Mr. Finicum.”

(There's more of the military terminology. "Operators", not "assassins" - AF)

That unlawful action, which combined murderous intent with government-grade marksmanship, was compounded by the FBI’s reflexive institutional mendacity: The HRT Stormtroopers who fired the shots concealed that fact from the investigation, and their comrades joined in that conspiracy of obstruction. Norris carefully, and repeatedly, emphasized that while he found the six shots fired by the OSP to be “justified,” he was leaving the matter of the shots fired by the HRT operators in the hands of the Justice Department’s Inspector General and the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office.

Finicum had been shot at three times while approaching the roadblock-- a fact demonstrating that combat protocols, rather than “civilian” deadly force standards, were in place. As he exited the vehicle, Finicum was nearly killed before he was given an opportunity to submit to arrest.

Much is said about the “reasonable officer” standard of deadly force, and correspondingly little attention is paid to the perceptions of those who are targeted by such force. When the HRT attempted to kill him as he exited the vehicle, Finicum – like any reasonable person – most likely assumed that his captors intended to execute him.

Although this may not have been what the OSP had in mind, it was clearly what the HRT intended.

Just as the OSP and Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office didn’t share their plans with Sheriff Palmer in Grant County, the HRT operators weren’t on the same page as the OSP troopers at the roadblock. Whether this reflects premeditation or pathological improvisation is impossible to tell at this point. The fact that the HRT operators conspired to conceal their actions argues strongly for the first possibility.

Obstructing an investigation is a felony. It will not be treated as such by the IG’s office, of course, owing to the inexhaustible privilege enjoyed by the Regime’s hired killers. If Deschutes County Sheriff Shane Nelson is burdened with dangling anatomy, he will press charges against the HRT operators who sought to conceal evidence of a clearly unlawful attempt to kill LaVoy Finicum.

Nelson, who presides over a department riven with turmoil, is up for reelection and facing two challengers. This means that he may be susceptible to local pressure to hold the HRT accountable. Like nearly every other “local” sheriff, however, Nelson is severely compromised by his office’s deep entanglement with the Feds.

Last October, Nelson placed Captain Scott Beard on “administrative leave” (that is, paid vacation) after he was accused of embezzling from the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement Team, a federally subsidized asset forfeiture soviet. Beard, the Detective Division Captain, was in charge of all transactions of the so-called CODE team, which plundered the county on the order of $100,000 or more each year.

In February, Beard was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of stealing more than $200,000 from the forfeiture fund. If Nelson doesn't do anything to upset the Feds, this ugly business might stop with Beard.

When he finally condescended to do a media interview on the matter,Nelson told Bend NBC affiliate KTVZ that “federal authorities, who are also investigating, have asked him to keep many of the details in the missing-money case private.”

This gives Nelson a ready excuse to withhold public disclosure of details that could reveal corruption and incompetence in his office’s management of money and property that often were seized from people who had never been accused of a crime. It also gives the Feds leverage to use against him in the event that Nelson entertains ideas about prosecuting the HRT operators who tried to kill LaVoy Finicum as he exited his truck – and then obstructed the investigation into the subsequent fatal shooting.

Nelson is not the only key figure in this matter who has been severely compromised by forfeiture-related corruption.

Malheur County DA Dan Norris, chosen as special prosecutor to investigate the Finicum killing, unlawfully diverted tens of thousands of dollars in cash that had been seized by the Malheur County Sheriff’s Office from William Esbensen, the former owner of a medical marijuana co-op called the 45th Parallel in Ontario, Oregon. In 2014, Esbensen was prosecuted, and convicted, under an expired state anti-marijuana statute that was dead letter law even then.

During an April 10, 2013 County Commission meeting, according to the County Court minutes, “Mr. Norris suggested that a portion of the forfeiture funds in the task force budget could be used to assist” in paying for the services of an outside prosecutor – from Deschutes County, as it happens – named Mike Dugan.

When the Commission balked at the prospective costs of the prosecution – which seemed to increase every month – Norris invited Dugan to address the body.

Seeking to palliate their concerns, Dugan boasted that the High Desert Drug Enforcement Task Force had “recovered a number of globs of money so to speak,” including “some $53,000 in cash [that] was seized; that was subject to federal forfeiture…. I believe Sheriff Wolfe received about 40 grand of that.” In addition, he explained, ten other people involved in the 45th Parallel had accepted settlements involving huge fines that “went into the Sheriff’s forfeiture account to help cover the costs of prosecution and investigation. I do not know the total figure of money that we’ve already recovered but I think it is in excess of … 78,000 dollars and there is still some additional opportunity to recover more.”

After the case was over, Dugan continued, it might be possible to “have more in-depth discussions about additional collections and addition use of that money to see things through and do forfeitures next year. Which I think, from a business standpoint would make sense.” (Emphasis supplied.)

Norris and Dugan were using the prospect of an immense forfeiture haul to sell a skeptical Malheur County Commission on an unnecessary and legally invalid marijuana prosecution. No adequate accounting as ever been made for the forfeiture-derived funds used to prosecute that case, and with good reason: Under the federal “equitable sharing” program, it is illegal to divert forfeiture proceeds in that fashion.

When this matter came up during the post-conviction restitution hearing, Norris sprang out of his chair as if he had suddenly discovered a cobra nesting in it and blurted out an objection. Trial Judge Gregory Baxter, offended by defense attorney Susan Gerber’s effort to examine the prosecution’s dodgy bookkeeping, gaveled the hearing to a close. Within an hour Dugan filed a motion in limine to forbid any examination “regarding the use of County General Funds,” which included the forfeiture proceeds. A week later, Judge Baxter, using a contrived rationale to justify an official cover-up, granted that motion.

In addition to the illegal transfer of forfeiture funds, Norris is implicated in the matter of a rather substantial amount of confiscated marijuana for which the county has never given an adequate accounting. The 45th Parallel case began on September 11, 2012, with raids on at least eight large marijuana grow areas. At the subsequent press conference, the confiscated marijuana was triumphantly displayed in front of the Malheur County Courthouse in Vale: The trophies filled the entire parking lot.

[B]Rather than burning the seized weed, former MCSO Detective Brad Williams, the lead investigator, arranged for its burial at a local landfill. Photographs obtained from the sheriff’s office documented the disposal of a paltry amount of marijuana that was barely sufficient to cover a card table, let alone a parking lot. Nobody has ever explained what happened to the balance of that very profitable commodity.

Behind every great fortune there is a crime, insisted Balzac. That cynical aphorism isn’t true of private industry. It is reliably true of people who prosper in the field of law enforcement.

It is in the interest of our Federal overseers to ensure that “local” sheriffs, police, and prosecutors are deeply compromised.

The state “lies in all languages of good and evil,” observed Nietzsche, “and whatever it says is a lie, and whatever it has it has stolen. Everything in it is false; it bites with stolen teeth, and bites often. It is false down to its bowels.”

When the state bites with its stolen teeth as it did at the roadblock on Highway 395, it falls on those mired in the bowels of the beast – people like Sheriff Nelson and Dan Norris – to do the filthy work necessary to preserve the pretense of legitimacy.

I couldn't tell if it was sparks or just glass shattering, but the window shattered with his hands in the air. They apparently fired SOMETHING at him and the truck when his hands were in the air. If a man exits a vehicle with his hands going into the air, and they are firing at him as he exits, what is the proper response?

It definitely looks like he kept moving away from the vehicle and at the back of it, before he did any sort of "reaching" which may or may not have been for a weapon, and it could have been him grabbing his side after being hit. I mean, he walked how many feet with his hands in the air, and these agents had the road blocked but didn't have some other form of non-lethal weaponry when he exited the vehicle?

All of the leaders were arrested. Remember, the Oath Keepers folks feared for their lives from several of the folks arrested.

Of course this is sad. Heck, Jerry thought he was doing good things. He actually thought he was being a peace marker. He tried to do what he thought was good.

Another sad part is that his wife, while perhaps also confused, was a great vote in the New Hampshire House. She voted about as good as you would expect from Justin Amash, for example.

So much sad in this story. Hopefully a lot of lessons are learned from this. I'm still not sure what to learn though, not yet.
