It's interesting, isn't it? Not one shot was fired by Cliven Bundy, his family or peaceful protestors, some of whom were armed during the 2014 Bundy Ranch siege by the Bureau of Land Management. Not one shot was fired by the Bundys or any of the people who took over the Oregon Wildlife Refuge either. The only people that we know of who have acted unlawfully and violent have been the DC government and those tied to it. It was those who work for the state that fired on an unarmed LaVoy Finicum, murdering him in cold blood, and then sought to kill the other passengers in his vehicle who never fired a shot. Yet, a federal judge has said following Cliven Bundy's arrest in Oregon last week, the Mr. Bundy must remain behind bars because he is "lawless and violent."
U.S. Magistrate Judge Janice Stewart claims that Bundy is a danger to the community there.
"If he is released and he goes back to his ranch, that is likely the last the government will see of him," Stewart said.
Bundy's sons, Ammon and Ryan, remain in jail over three weeks after their arrest, and so do several others, including Pete Santilli, who did several live reports to keep the public informed of exactly what was going on minute by minute.
According to the Associated Press:
Bundy's attorney, Noel Grefenson, said his client could not be a danger if authorities waited to charge him for 22 months. The judge dismissed that argument and set his next hearing for Friday.
A family member said the patriarch isn't dangerous or a criminal and should be released to live at home.
"Cliven believes in the proper role of government and proper jurisdiction. Where's the jurisdiction?" daughter-in-law Briana Bundy told The Associated Press by telephone from Bunkerville, Nevada.
"He's not a flight risk. This is his home. This is where his livelihood is," she said.
As with everything the DC government does, Bundy's arrest was calculated. He was arrested at the Portland airport where authorities knew he would be unarmed and there would not be a scene. They were just as calculated in both the ambush and the video footage of the shooting of LaVoy Finicum.
However, Bundy, unlike the others who have been arrested, did not received charges related to the standoff in Oregon, but rather is charged with unlawfully directing more than 200 followers to stop federal agents and contract cowboys who were attempting to enforce a court order to round up nearly 400 of his cattle at the Bundy Ranch siege in 2014.
The aftermath of that was just as telling concerning the lawless and criminal behavior of federal agents.
Prosecutors also allege the Bundy and those who stood with him set up traffic checkpoints on public roads and attempted to follow and intimidate federal agents trying to conduct plant surveys.
"Witnesses have described the level of threatened violence as so intense that something as innocent as the backfire of (a) vehicle, or someone lighting a firecracker, would have set off a firefight," according to a 34-page document filed by prosecutors Tuesday.
Prosecutors claimed that neither the Constitution nor any other law "gives anyone the right to use or carry, let alone brandish, raise or point, a firearm" at federal law enforcers performing official duties, "whether one thinks the officer is acting constitutionally or not."
Au contraire mon frere! Federal agents are not spelled even listed in the Constitution, but a citizen militia and their duties are.
The Congress shall have Power To ...provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.... - ARTICLE I, SECTION 8, CLAUSE 16
As we have pointed out before, the laws of the union, contained in the Constitution regarding land were being dealt with peacefully and according to law. I will grant that Congress had not called up the militia, but I would also point out the that same section of the Constitution also states that Congress is to provide for the organizing, arming and disciplining of that militia, which they don't do because they do not want it to exist, but rather funnel unconstitutional spending to other interests. So, I ask, who really are the lawless and violent ones in this matter? Is it really Mr. Bundy and his sons, or is it a criminal DC government?
Courts that are unable to follow the Constitution and rule of law must be shut down, judges impeached, and no Federal benefits.
And folks are worried about a lady who turned down $1.8 million, and owed $25,000 in back taxes on her pig sty.
They are hoping to take his ranch and guns.
Interesting that no such action has been brought against “Occupy Wall Street”, which has since resurfaced as “Occupy Democrats”.
OWS caused multiple millions of dollars in damage in major cities throughout the country, excreting in public, looting, rioting, committing arson, even rape and murder.
AFAIK, no charges have been brought against the organizers, one of which Chief Lizardbreath Warren claims to be.
Warlord Bundy only owns 180 acres, the rest of it is federal land which he leases, but doesn't pay the leasing fees.
Well he did until the feds told him he had to sign a contract which pretty much guaranteed they would use it to take his ranch.
Same judge who ruled that local police can’t hold illegal immigrants to be turned over to ICE
The BLM will take all the land they can get. Real estate records show they once paid $700,000 for ten acres in the middle of the desert with no water on it and no structures to some real estate corporation — Cottonwood Estates or something like that -— that then could not be traced.
Someday a brave reporter will uncover their corruption. I hope.
Theoretically, if the feds were to get a civil judgement against Bundy(which they haven’t) over his failure to pay fees, they could try to get a lien on his personally owned property. But some states(like Texas) have homestead laws that prevent a man’s homestead from being taken to satisfy a civil judgement.
That’s a vague story.
Women screwing everything up. Woman judge overreacts, declares Bundy “violent” even though he has never threatened anyone with violence, and his own supporter was murdered by the Feds. Woman prosecutor reopens Hammond sentencing and starts this whole sh*tstorm.
Dangerous? Doubtful. Flight risk? Yes. So they could deny bail on that alone.
No more waiting.
A lot of traitors in the US government.
Wonder why they just don’t throw us peasants into the camps yet?
What are the ghouls waiting for?
Leasing is covered by contract law, so it is a good idea to have a contract and a written contract is preferable to an oral contract.
But you and your source say contracts are bad things.
Bundy and his father signed numerous lease/contracts.
If was only after he was told to reduce his heard that he decided not to sign the contract, said he no longer recognized the federal govts authority over the land, and stopped paying the fees.
Thanks for the update.
Many. The big traitor has racked up more evil deeds than any president in our brief history. He even rivals such evildoers in the past like Caligula.
Along with ALL Muslims, these traitorous dogs must be rooted out and sentenced to hard labor with no benefits from their evil work in the central socialist government.
There isn’t an important government agency that isn’t headed and populated by traitors.
The Secretary of State should be a statesman and not some fatso whose claim to fame was that she was welded to Billy Goat Clinton, or coward who returned tot he USA to testify against his fellow soldiers and married an heiress like the common gigolo that he truly is.
Every one of Hussein’s appointments has either been a pervert, a pansy, a bull dike, a Muslim or a negro.
