Oath Keeper lies

http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2014/04/10/coalition-of-western-state-legislators-sheriffs-and-veterans-stand-vigil-in-support-of-embattled-nevada-rancher-cliven-bundy-%E2%80%98to-prevent-another-ruby-ridge-or-waco%E2%80%9D/

I will go through this article to dispel some of the lies.
The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA.org), led by retired Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack, and the Oath Keepers organization (oathkeepers.org) are assisting Washington State Representative Matt Shea in organizing a delegation of current serving Western state legislators and Sheriffs to travel to the site of a tense stand-off between Bunkerville, Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).  The delegation is traveling to Nevada to support a coalition of current serving Nevada legislators being organized by Nevada State Assemblywoman Michele Fiore, of Las Vegas, to stand vigil at the Bundy ranch to prevent Federal Government provocation of violence resulting in another Ruby Ridge or Waco type incident.  They also hope that their example of oath-sworn public servants defending the rights of the people will prompt Clark County, Nevada Sheriff Douglas Gillespie and Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval to honor their oaths of office by taking real action to defend the rights of the Bundy family, the rights of all Nevadans, and the sovereignty of the State of Nevada.

This is the same sheriff that said to put women in front to die first for the sensationalism of the media.  If you read the Nevada Constitution it recognizes the Federal Government.
All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for the protection, security and benefit of the people; and they have the right to alter or reform the same whenever the public good may require it. But the Paramount Allegiance of every citizen is due to the Federal Government in the exercise of all its Constitutional powers as the same have been or may be defined by the Supreme Court of the United States; and no power exists in the people of this or any other State of the Federal Union to dissolve their connection therewith or perform any act tending to impair, subvert, or resist the Supreme Authority of the government of the United States. The Constitution of the United States confers full power on the Federal Government to maintain and Perpetuate its existence, and whensoever any portion of the States, or people thereof attempt to secede from the Federal Union, or forcibly resist the Execution of its laws, the Federal Government may, by warrant of the Constitution, employ armed force in compelling obedience to its Authority. 

It is necessary that current serving public servants step in-between the protesters and the BLM, to protect the rights of the people and to prevent violence against them by the militarized federal law enforcement that are massing near the ranch to continue the forced confiscation (theft) of  Bundy’s cattle, while they also restrict all access to huge tracts of public land, and attempt to restrict the free speech of protesters with their absurd “First Amendment Area” (which the protesters are ignoring, to their honor).

There is no theft of the cattle, it is a court imposed ruling that has been brewing for 20 years.  It started under previous administrations.

Under the Founders design, the states were to control their own land, unless, and until, the federal government purchased a particular piece of land, with the consent of the state legislature, for a fort, magazine, arsenal, dock-yard, etc.
When did the Federal government purchase the millions of acres in Nevada it claims to own?   When did the legislature of Nevada ever consent to it?   Where are the forts, magazine, arsenals, dock-yards, and other needful buildings on that land?  Where in the Constitution does it say the federal government can keep 80% of a state when it is admitted into the Union?  Nowhere.  And yet the federal government totally ignores the limited powers of Article I, Section 8, Clause 17, doctrine of equal footing, whereby new states admitted to the Union were to enter it on an equal footing with the original states.  Why doesn’t Virginia have 80% of its land claimed by the federal government?   Why doesn’t Ohio?  It is only in the West that this absurdity exists (and it is not just in Nevada.  Similar abuses are seen in the rest of the West).

How did the land of Nevada come into existence it was not the Army of Nevada that defeated Mexico and obtained the land, it was the US Army and US Navy how the US obtained the land mass of Nevada.  During the 1800s there were the homesteading acts that people got the land.  There are lots of lost dreams throughout the West you can see old homesteads that did not survive, and people did not want the land since it was not productive.

You have to remember that Bundy only owns 160 acres it would be like you had your neighbor turn your property into his/hers.  The US won the land in the West in wars or purchase, the States did not fight any wars or purchase the land.  Lets get real and look at the facts.

One interesting fact I have not seen is what do Bundy's neighbors think of this and has he paid his property taxes on his measly 160 acres?







Oath Keepers and Lies

One time I had thought about joining the Oath Keepers and so glad I did not join that they have shown their true colors in Nevada.
How can you be associated with an organization that shows the oath of office:
I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God

I am a retired veteran and for 28 years I have defended the Constitution of the United States and the Oath Keepers have broken their vows in the case of the Bundy Ranch in Nevada.  

The courts have ruled against Bundy in due process: One argument is that this process is unconstitutional.  The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments each contain a Due Process Clause, they Federal Government followed Due Process and the courts have ruled against Mr. Bundy.  You can look in each paper and see that Due Process has been applied to personal property for people that have not paid their property tax or mortgage.  Simply, Mr. Bundy has not paid a debt, and the court has ruled against him. 

They wanted to put women and children on the front lines for blood shed.
They had people with weapons pointed at commissioned law enforcement personnel and innocent bystanders.

They state This will be a long struggle. The BLM and Harry Reid have stated that it is not over.  We Oath Keepers plan on being there as long as it takes.  Elias Alias, our Editor and Board member, is on his way to the Bundy Ranch today, for an extended stay. He’s 67 years old, and a Vietnam Vet, who still heeds the call of freedom. http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2014/04/17/ongoing-support-needed-for-bundy-ranch/

They have decided what is right and wrong, but again if they would even follow the US or Nevada Constitution they are in the wrong.  What is the call of freedom?  I thought we have three branches of government and all are elected except the court system.  

I find it amazing to read the comments on articles that people really do not understand the county we live in.

My next post will be to go point by point through their post on Bundy

Sheriff to sacrifice women

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/04/15/former-sheriff-women-need-to-be-the-first-ones-shot-by-feds-in-bundy-ranch-standoff/

This is something to be proud of: and willing to sacrifice his wife and daughters:

A former Arizona sheriff who has taken the side of cattle ranchers in Nevada said this week that he would have allowed his own wife and daughters to be shot as human shields because it would look bad for the federal government on television.
In a statement to Fox News on Monday that was first flagged by Glenn Beck’s The Blaze, former Sheriff Richard Mack talked about his strategy to put women on the front lines if a gunfight broke out between “rogue federal agents” and rancher Cliven Bundy, who reportedly owes the taxpayers more than $1 million for allowing his cattle to graze on government land.
