The Judicial Branch was the last refuge of the individual under attack by "Mobocracy" (the tyranny of the majority), now even that is lost... desperately sad!
I know what you mean. As a farmer... I am becoming more and more upset by these things. When I first started to hear about them, I got mad. I wrote letters. I went to rallys. I posted here on FR so that others would learn. I still do those things... but with a heavier heart and with more tears. Every time I do a self search and see an article like this, my heart sinks into my stomache.
However... Thanks for the heads up brityank. As much as it hurts, I want to know about these things. Looking away and pretending I don't know, will only make for one less voice in our fight. For the wrong thing to do is nothing.
The crazy part about the trial was when the Judge declared Cliff GUILTY. He said there was no imminent danger for fire and Cliff should not have put his cattle out to graze. A cow only can eat about 30 pounds of grass a day. I would imagine if you fenced a cow into a pen 30 by 40, it could clean out the wild grass in one day. (my estimate of 30 pounds of wild grass) but cattle walk and eat. They do not graze in one place until there is no more feed then move on. So if a lightening strike is going to cause another fire, as it did in 1996, where is the warning? Bad weather doesn't give three month warnings, especially lightening strikes.
If the Forestry Dept doesn't want to go in and cut the grass, what protection does Cliff and Bertha have from losing their home, stables and barn to another fire, especially a lightening strike fire?
Cliff Gardner: Latest Rancher to Fall Victim to the Western Federal Juggernaut
I talked long into the night with some of those Elko boys when I was at Jarbidge ... the government is severally underestimating the resolve of these folks ... just like they are at Klamath.
I tell you boys ... I'm very concerned. They seem to be hell bent on pushing these people off the land with this "Rural Cleansing" and they are going to run it into a brick wall one day soon. It's as if they have decided to go for it and push these people to the breaking point ... and with some of the new laws, I'll bet they label them terrorists if they stand up and fight.
Well, they better be prepared for a lot of that particular brand in my estimation if the good Lord doesnt touch their hearts or if they don;t turn to reason and to fulfilling their oath to the Constitution soon.

It's a good thing I'm not paranoid, otherwise I'd think that BLM and the bambi brigade want a fight.
We were there when Helen Chenoweth said that if it could happen to her and her husband it could happen to anyone.
I have my bags packed and I'm ready. All I need is the word.
Is there nothing that can be done about this revolting situation?
"WHAT IS A PATRIOT?"
PATRIOTS are not "Revolutionaries" trying to overthrow the government of the United States.
PATRIOTS are "Counter-Revolutionaries" trying to prevent the government of the United States from overthrowing the Constitution of the United States. - Unknown Author
What brings the PATRIOTS out of the woodwork?
When the constitutional process, the system of checks and balances set up by the Founders, has not just been thrown out of kilter, it has been thrown out the window. These socialist maneuvers are what attracts PATRIOTS to the streets of America.
