Anna Brown's kangaroo Tribunal (an unlawful court held by a group of people in order to try someone regarded, especially without good evidence, as guilty of violating the Law) in Portland Oregon is using every underhanded tactic to convict the defendants before the trial. As the Esteemed Readers that have been following the proceedings of the Bundy/Hammond Malheur Wildlife Refuge Protest already know, Ridiculous charges, false allegations, and a parody of due process are only the beginning efforts of this unlawful Legal charade. The Latest effort of Public Policy Administrator Brown and the U.S. Prosecuting Attorney has placed every potential witness of the protest under the cloud of possible arrest on the same false charges and more. The Administrative Legal Tribunal has announced that anyone who actually went to the Malheur Wildlife Refuge is an unindicted co-conspirator
An unindicted co-conspirator, or unindicted conspirator, is a person or entity that is alleged in an indictment to have engaged in conspiracy, but who is not charged in the same indictment; but, once identified, may have alleged actions be declared as somehow supposedly illegal and charges brought in a different indictment. This type of pre-indictment labeling of course colors or taints every potential witness as somehow participating in the supposedly illegal activities that led to the allegations and indictment of charges. To the mind of the potential witness, this type of Labeling can only place every witness in jeopardy of being indicted. In the eyes of the prosecuting Attorney, all witnesses for the defense are potential targets for new indictments based on skewed allegations and false charges.
"The legal term "unindicted co-conspirator," or unindicted conspirator, is a person or entity that is alleged in an indictment to have engaged in conspiracy, but who is not charged in the same indictment. Prosecutors choose to name persons as unindicted co-conspirators for a variety of reasons including grants of immunity, pragmatic considerations, and evidentiary concerns. The United States Attorneys' Manual generally recommends against naming unindicted co-conspirators, although their use is not generally prohibited by law or policy.[1] Some commentators have raised due process concerns over the use of unindicted co-conspirators.[2] Although there have been few cases on the subject, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals addressed these concerns in United States v. Briggs.[3]
The term unindicted co-conspirator was familiarized in 1974 when then president Richard Nixon was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in indictments stemming from the Watergate Investigation. Nixon was not indicted due to concerns about whether the United States Constitution allowed the indictment of a sitting President (see Executive privilege). References: 1.

There is no Justice in any of this activity, it is meant to sway public opinion against anyone charged, or intimidate anyone willing to bare witness to the actions of the protesters and in the process of witness leave themselves open to possible charges. The ultimate goal of all of this activity is to force landowners off their land and to lay claim to public property so those in power can reap financial reward by selling something that does not belong to them. Gold, Uranium, Clinton, Uranium One, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men (women) are almost always bad men (women)."
It should be apparent to the Esteemed Readers of Fix America, that based on the evidence known at this time, Robert LaVoy Finicum was murdered in retaliation for defying the unlawful regulative orders of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), a Puerto Rican Corporation. It is relatively unimportant at this time just which agency or NGO (non-government organization) fired. The truly important point is no one discharged any firearm of any type except one or more Government, or State Agency, or NGO. All of the bullshit legaleze about officers fearing for their lives when faced by an unarmed already wounded American with his hands raised is outrageous! The 9mm drop gun ostensibly found by the FBI is a laughable outcome of agencies or NGOs covering their protruding asses.
The others that were arrested on charges of "federal felony charge of conspiracy to impede officers of the United States from discharging their official duties through the use of force, intimidation or threats" is at the very least questionable.
Those alleged charges have nothing to do with the peaceful occupation of the Malhuer National Wildlife Refuge, nor the rally for the injustices done to the Hammonds, or the Hammond's 'terrorist arson charges and conviction' as alleged by the BLM and the corporate Administrative Public Policy Tribunals that handed down the conviction against the Hammonds. The refusal of the federal government to allow inspection or photography of the bullet riddled pickup truck Mr. Finicum was driving or provide government or NGO dash cam and body cam evidence is understandable; considering that it is evidence that will surely and undoubtedly be presented at the various trials to prove the government's allegations. The entire incident has been just one of many demonstrations to come of raw naked killing force meant to frighten and intimidate the Americans-on-the-Land into giving up their unalienable rights, their constitutionally protected rights, and eventually their property and finally their liberty. This type of unlawful government or NGO action will strip you and me of our unalienable rights, rights which can only be taken by force, and only if Americans are incapable of self-defense. It is for all Americans who cherish the freedoms and liberty they have so dearly fought for to resist giving in to the fear of an out-of-control tyrannical government.
EXCLUSIVE: Massive Cover-up – BLM leases Hammond ranch land to Russia through Clinton Foundation donors for uranium
By: Greg White Date: February 11, 2016
"The Hammond Ranch controversy continues to sink into a rabbit hole without end. Evidence has surfaced that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has been taking land with plans to lease it to Clinton Foundation donors. Russia gradually gained control of Uranium One, a major mining company, in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, while Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State. Canadian records reveal that the company’s chairman used his own family foundation to make four donations to the Clinton Foundation during that time, resulting in a sum contribution of $2.35 million. Secretary Clinton approved the deal for Russia soon after her family’s slush fund received the donations. Now, Vladimir Putin controls 20 percent of all uranium production capacity in the U.S. Undisclosed contributions made to the Clinton Foundation These contribution were not made known to the public by the Clintons, even though Hillary Clinton made a deal with President Obama to disclose all the donors. Other individuals associated with the company made donations too. Furthermore, after Russia declared that it was taking over Uranium One, Bill Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank, which promoted Uranium One stock. A gold mine for uranium It is not known whether the donations were responsible for the uranium deal, but the timing is suspicious. Since Hammond Ranch is a gold mine for uranium, it’s unsurprising that the Clinton Foundation would want to lease the land to Russia through donors. This would also explain why U.S. authorities have been coming down so hard on protesters. Officials aren’t prosecuting individuals because of the Hammond controversy. Officials are coming down on protesters because they are occupying a valuable piece of land; a piece of land that was promised to the Russians. According to The New York Times: “Whether the donations [to the Clinton Foundation] played any role in the approval of the uranium deal is unknown. But the episode underscores the special ethical challenges presented by the Clinton Foundation, headed by a former president who relied heavily on foreign cash to accumulate $250 million in assets even as his wife helped steer American foreign policy as secretary of state, presiding over decisions with the potential to benefit the foundation’s donors.” Sources include: CanadaFreePress.com Evil.news LibertyBlitzkrieg.com NewsTarget.com "
UPDATED: July 30, 2016 Full Timeline video of Robert LaVoy Finicum - One Cowboy's Stand for Freedom If democratic socialist ideas are so good or beneficial for Americans why must the Government force everyone to participate by creating statutes that make democratic socialist ideas mandatory? Because they are beneficial for Americans? Because they are beneficial for the Government? Because they are beneficial for the IMF who OWNS the Government? Because they are beneficial for International Bankers who want to sell the mineral resources and all other natural resources? Because the people in Government are made Rich by selling the natural resources to Foreign Governments or Companies? Like Who you may ask?
Then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in March 2009. (AP)
The answer to that question is simple Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation have benefited by arranging the sale of various resources to Foreign Governments and Companies. Millions upon Millions upon Millions of dollars. How has the American Public Benefited? IT HAS NOT. How have individual Americans benefited? THEY HAVE NOT. People have lost their homes. People have lost their living. People have lost their land. And like the Hammond's, Bundy's, and so many others across America they have lost their LIBERTY and will, because they can not make a living while incarcerated, fined, and penalized, will lose everything they have worked for and the American people will lose in so many ways.
Who benefits? Hillary Clinton and The Clinton Foundation. Iran Nuclear Programs who bought Uranium form the Russian owned Canadian company who bought the mineral rights to the land from the Secretary of State (a private corporation being headed (at the time) by Hillary Clinton working for the privately owned Federal Government), that only coincidentally, covers large areas of Public land and which includes the Bundy Ranch, The Hammond Ranch and those other Ex-Ranchers that were burned out or scared off their land by the Foreign owned BLM (a private chartered for profit Puerto Rican corporation) hired by the Federal Government (a bankrupt foreign owned for profit private corporation bought by the IMF, chartered in France).
The Esteemed Readers might be wondering what is really happening? What is driving all this? While the Federal Government breaches every article of their charter contract (The Constitution of the United States), distracts the American people with Elections of new or returning corporate officers to corporate positions, the poor US economy, the horrible condition of NAME SOMETHING, the Corporate Federal Government, Corporate State Governments, Banks, Mortgage Companies, and Internal Banking Syndicates are filing for Allodial Title and Land Patents as-fast-as is possible.
Many of Fix America's Esteemed International Readers have asked a number of Questions which require real answers. What in the world has happened in Burns Oregon? Why are unarmed Americans being murdered by Americans? When are Americans going to wake Up and realize what is happening to America, and the peoples' Unalienable Rights? Contrary to U.S. government propaganda the Privately Owned Major Media is spewing out onto the ears and minds of the public, the real events are quite different. I will attempt to answer these questions as-best-as I am able. It is time to make several points very clear. 1. There was a peaceful rally at the County Court House at the County Seat of Burns, Oregon. The people in attendance were there to voice their discontent of the actions of the Bureau of Land Management (a for profit private corporation chartered in Porto Rico) in the County. Their complaints regarding the out-of-season Burning of rangeland, Burning of livestock corrals, Burning of ranch Structures on private property, the burning of Live stock, and setting fires and leaving them unattended to burn out of control. These actions have been occurring for more than a decade and local and state authorities have refused to take any kind of action or notice of complaints. This activity has resulted in ranchers being literally burned out. of there homes and businesses. The BLM has then purchased the land for a fraction of the amount the ranches they destroyed were worth.
2. Unknown to the Hammonds, Three Percenters, and The Oath Keepers and the general rally goers, the Bundy group decided to occupy the Malheur Wildlife Refuge without telling anyone in advance, and no one at the time they did so. 3. There was no armed takeover, standoff, or shootout at anytime at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge or anywhere on State Highway 395: although, it should be remembered that a new set of rules has, at the moment, been placed into force by the new Owners of the United States Inc. It should be remembered also that a takeover is the permanent change of residence or ownership, a standoff requires brandishing of weapons by both sides, and A shootout requires fire and return fire from opposing forces. There was an occupation (old school-sit in) by as few as ten and as many as twenty people of the seasonally Closed (open to the public Wildlife Refuge). People came and went and no weapons were brandished by any of the occupiers at anyone. 4. Some of the people occupying the Refuge had rifles and pistols. This is allowed in Oregon. Oregon is an Open Carry State. Concealed Handgun Licenses are issued by the State of Oregon. Concealed Carry licenses from some other States are honored. 5. The FBI arrived in Burns and set up a Local Area of Operations at the Airport. 6. The Judge, Steve Grasty, and the Sheriff, David Ward, had been notified of their unlawful activities by a U.S. Superior Court Judge in regard to their refusal to uphold their respective constitutional duties and were reminded of their Constitutional Oaths of Office and their jurisdictions, of which all had been ignored and continue to be ignored. 7. The people of Harney County formed a Committee of Safety (a time honored procedure - back to Colonial Times) to take matters into the hands of the people when Officials and Authorities ignore the people and their matters of concern.
8. The committee presented their Proposal of Resolution to the Board of County Commissioners for Harney County, Sheriff Ward, Judge Grasty, the appropriate State and Federal Authorities and in addition was hand delivered to an Agent of FBI at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. The unnamed FBI Agent stated that it was above his paygrade and would be passed up the chain of command. 9. The Bundy's and a handful of others were traveling (in two conveyances at the suggestion of Mark McConnell, the most probable Government Mole and infiltration agent) from the refuge to a town meeting at the invitation of meeting organizer Tad Houpt not Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer in the nearby town of John Day in neighboring Grant County where some four-hundred people were gathering to hear what the Bundy's had to say. It further has been established by the other people traveling in the white truck that Robert LaVoy Finicum was unarmed as he had left his six shooter at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. A peaceful gathering to find out what, if any, progress was being made in Burns Oregon with Officials or Authorities. The Sheriff and the Fire Marshal in Burns had recently resigned and an Unelected Sheriff had been appointed by the local Judge, Judge Steve Grasty. The town's only judicial representative, Judge Grasty, has for some number of years ruled in favor of the BLM or refused to hear legitimate complaints of the residents of Harney County regarding the BLM. He very recently stated that only selected people were going to be allowed to attend Public Meetings in Burns Oregon. 10.The Unelected Governor of the State of Oregon, Kate Brown, was under pressure from the Obama Administration in Washington D.C. to "Take care of the problem by whatever means are necessary." She issued orders to the Oregon State Police to take care of matters by whatever means were necessary and they were aided by the Deschutes County Major Crimes Team. The FBI worked in conjunction with the Oregon State Police and the Deschutes County Team.
11.Initial stop and final Fatal Road Block incident At approximately 4:25 p.m. (PST) Tuesday, January 26, 2016, the Oregon State Police (OSP) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began an enforcement action (road blocking several highways- US 395 was but one), aided by the Deschutes County Major Crimes Team. Two vehicles were stopped. The lead first vehicle, a jeep, driven by Mark McConnell, security consultant, a passenger, Ammon Bundy and Brian Cavalier (AKA: King Booda, Booda Bear, Buddha), Bundy's personal Body Guard. In the following second vehicle, a truck, traveling as a group to John Day, and driven by Robert LaVoy Finicum were, Ryan Payne, Ryan Bundy, Shawna Cox, and Victoria Sharp, 18. The following second vehicle, a white truck, pulled around the Jeep and stopped in the road (according to Mark McConnell). The white truck left the initial stop site because authorities began shooting blindly into the truck and it was at this time Bundy's shoulder was wounded. The white truck traveled a mile further down the road and arrived at a previously set up road block. After swerving to avoid the roadblock, the truck came to rest in a roadside snow bank. At this time, the order of events is unclear, whether tear gas was released or whether Flash-Bangs were detonated or whether some number of warning shots were fired; however, some number of all were released, detonated, and discharged. The white truch sustained more than one hundred bullet holes. It is clear from Miss Sharp's account no one in the truck handled or discharged a firearm at any time. Robert LaVoy Finicum exited the vehicle and words were exchanged with authorities. Unarmed and with hands raised Mr. Finicum may have approached the authorities or may have lost his balance in the knee deep snow and was shot a number of times. According to Miss. Sharp, authorities approached the fallen and wounded Finicum and fired three more rounds which killed him.
The unedited footage, which has only been modified to blur out aircraft information, was taken by an undisclosed U.S. Agency's drone was released by the FBI on 01/28/2016.
It can be seen at approximately 9:28/26:28 that Mr. Finicum, after exiting the truck and walking several steps, with his hands up or outstretched, lowers one arm. It has been stated by various eye witnesses that Mr. Finicum only dropped one arm in response to being wounded in the right side torso by two officers coming from the road and as he turned around was wounded several more times by the officer who had been approaching Mr. Finicum from his six-o'clock position. A total of nine shots with one being in the face were fired. It has been established that Robert LaVoy Finicum owned and wore a six shot revolver on his right hip but that he had left this pistol at the Refuge, and did not carry or own a 9mm of any type, and was carrying no firearm of any type in the white truck. 12. The FBI stated that a 9mm handgun was found on or near Mr. Robert LaVoy Finicum. This Drop Gun was later identified as having been stolen in neither Oregon or Nevada, but a different un-named State. Considering the statements of thoes traveling with Finicum; that he was unarmed, that he did not have or own a 9mm, that he had left his six shot revolver type pistol at the Refuge, it can only be suggested that the handgun was planted by Oregon State Police, Federal Authorities, or by some other agency. As to the Second Question asked, "Why are unarmed Americans being murdered by Americans?" He wasn't murdered by Americans, he was killed by mercenaries working for a Foreign Corporation operating outside their lawful jurisdiction and with the intent to quash the spreading virus (Senator Ron Wyden's comment regarding the Americans realization that something is seriously wrong with the U.S. Government to Mr. James B. Comey, seventh and current Director of the FBI) with overwhelming Force. The United Nations (UN) doing-business-as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) doing-business-as The UNITED STATES, a Government Services Corporation now recently chartered and incorporated in France has a new set of rulesand public policy that will never be accepted by any American. Please, remember what Americans did with the League of Nations which was the second salvo of this same group of Psychopathic Sociopathic Megalomaniacal would be Rulers of the Know World. 13. After the murder of Mr. Robert LaVoy Finicum, an attorney representing the people of Haney County contacted the U.S. Provost Marshall with a request for Military Forces to remove the FBI and U.S. Military Forces that had now occupied the town of Burns. The people stated that they were in fear of loosing their lives. The attorney stated from his memory that the Oath he took stated that the U.S. Armed forces were required to uphold and protect the Constitution and therefore the people from all enemies both foreign and domestic. The attorney was told the matter would be passed up the chain of command.
14. It is to be understood clearly that Americans do not have Constitutional Rights: they do have Unalienable Rights and can not be forced to give them up. The Constitution for the united States of America is on its face an Equity Contract and an enumeration of 19 services that are to be supplied along with enumerated restrictions which the Company or the United States Inc. shall not abrogate and nothing more. It should be taken into account, and there is much that needs to be accounted for, that the company, The United States Inc. and the current UNITED STATES a franchise corporation of the United Nations have all abrogated all of the stipulations covered in the Constitution for/of the u/United States of America and the contract is null and void. Americans need to understand exactly the types of frauds perpetrated by the Federal Government on the people of America and on the States. The United States of America Inc. doing-business-as the Federal Government (a bankrupt corporation, July 1st 2013) and its franchises the fifty States and the seven territories or Quasi-states have no lawful jurisdictional standing on the land and no authority. Americans need to realize these facts and more. 15. It should be clear to everyone the Federal Government does not reveal the whole truth and the current administration's claim of transparency has been revealed to be completely opaque and worse and this corporation and its franchise corporations are all perpetrating frauds on the American People. As to the question of when are Americans going to wake Up and realize what is happening to America? I have thought long and reasoned carefully regarding the method or technique with difficulty to awaken the American People to the danger they are facing right now. I can state for a fact that Americans have been trained like Pavlov's dogs and have critical attention spans as-short-as the commercials on television and attention spans of about forty-five minutes (the length of the average public school classroom period beginning and ending with the bell. Americans are further hindered by a reduced capacity to read or understand what they have read due to a complete lack of education in attention, reasoning skills, comprehension, to name just a few of the skills necessary to comprehend any discipline. Americans have been horribly mentally crippled by the complete lack of the true historical events not covered in American Public Education. Events that have forced this set of conditions on America (namely, the type of system of Governance and its legal and lawful legitimacy and obligations which has been in place since the Eighteen Sixties, and has recently changed ownership once again. This time to a group of Megalomaniacs who want to rule the world by whatever means are necessary. A better understanding of how this came to be can be found in the book "You Know Something Is Wrong When....."An American Affidavit of Probable Cause" by Anna Maria Reizinger & James Clinton Belcher, ISBN-10: 1491279184, ISBN-13: 978-1491279182" This is required reading for any and every American who wants and needs a true account of international business and how it has affected Americans and American History.
Another Companion Book "Disclosure 101: What You Need To Know – July 1, 2014, by David E. Robinson (Author), Anna von Reitz (Original Author), ISBN-10: 1500352012, ISBN-13: 978-1500352011" is a more technical description of what has taken place and is a must read for any and every American who wants and needs a true account and the current state of our country.
Summing up the situation is simple. There is light at the end of the tunnel; however, the tunnel is long and dark.
(It should be made clear that 'Militia Members', the Pacific Patriot Network, and that the Three Percenters, and Oathkeepers were not involved at any time in the sit in/occupation at the Malheur wildlife Refuge.)
The sit-in and occupation by protesters of government agency abuses and misconduct in several western States at the seasonally closed buildings at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge is winding down to a bitter end. It has been reported by an eye witness account that Robert LaVoy Finicum, 55, a cattle rancher from Cane Beds, Arizona, who had past disputes with the BLM, while traveling on State Highway 395 from the Malheur Wildlife Refuge to a meeting with Sheriff Glenn Palmer at John Day, a city in Grant County, Oregon. Although, he was unarmed (later contradicted) with his hands raised in the air during a completely atypical traffic stop, he was shot as many as six times and killed by Agents of the FBI or Officers of the Oregon State Police and the Deschutes County Major Incident Team (See Note Below and Raw Video Footage Below). His trials-and-tribulations with government agencies motivated him to author "Only by Blood and Suffering" in Two-Thousand-Fifteen.
Fix America can only offer sympathy and condolences to any and all relatives of Robert LaVoy Finicum, God grant him peace.
Another victim of senseless (in that this and all preceding and following arrest events could have been avoided had the protesters not held a sit in/occupation in the first place) violence at the hands of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Oregon State Police and the Deschutes County Major Incident Team was Ryan Bundy whose shoulder was wounded.
Complete, Unedited Video of Joint FBI and OSP Operation 01/26/2016
Published on Jan 28, 2016
This is the complete video footage of a joint FBI and Oregon State Police traffic stop and OSP officer-involved shooting of Robert "LaVoy" Finicum on the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. This footage, which has only been edited to blur out aircraft information, was taken by the FBI on 01/26/2016 and released by the FBI on 01/28/2016.
It can be seen at approximately 9:28/26:28 that Mr. Finicum, after exiting the truck and walking several steps with his hands up or outstretched (making the fatal mistake) lowers them to reach for something inside his jacket or in a pocket of the jacket. The FBI has stated that Mr. Finicum was carrying a 9mm pistol. It also has been stated by various people that it appears as though Mr. Finicum only dropped one arm in response to being wounded in the right side torso by the officer facing him and as he turned around wounded two or three more times by the officer who had been approaching Mr. Finicum from his six o'clock position.
At approximately 4:25 p.m. (PST) Tuesday, January 26, 2016, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Oregon State Police (OSP) began an enforcement action, aided by the Deschutes County Major Crimes Team. Two vehicles were stopped. The lead vehicle, a jeep, driven by Mark McConnell, security consultant, a passenger, Ammon Bundy and Brian Cavalier (AKA: King Booda, Booda Bear, Buddha), Bundy's personal Body Guard. In the Following second vehicle, a truck, traveling as a group to John Day, and driven by LaVoy Finicum were, Ryan Payne, Ryan Bundy, Shawna Cox, and Victoria Sharp, 18. The following second vehicle left the initial site and a mile further down the road arrived at a previously set up road block. The truck came to rest in a roadside snow bank. At this time, the order of events is unclear, whether tear gas was released first or some number of warning shots were fired; however, some number of both were discharge. It is clear from Miss Sharp's account no one in the truck discharged or handled a firearm at any time. Robert LaVoy Finicum exited the vehicle and words were exchanged with authorities. Unarmed (later proved incorrect) and with hands raised Mr. Finicum may have approached the authorities and was shot a number of times. According to Miss. Sharp, authorities approached the fallen and wounded Finicum and fired three more rounds which killed him. It should be obvious to anyone watching the Mark McConnell eye witness testimony something is seriously incorrect with his statements regarding Mr. Finicum's actions or words and what happened to him. As can be seen in the raw uncut drone video, Mr. McConnell is at the location of the red Jeep On US 395 and was stopped and later released. The white truck was near that location, but then sped away and went further down the road. The FBI has stated and a videogrammetric analysis program will rapidly show that the white truck comes to a rest in a roadside snowbank at a mile or more further on down the highway. Mr. McConnell would have had to have been watching Mr. Finicum's actions from an unobstructed position providing a clear view through at least a 2000mm f2.0 lens or a very, very good telescope. No such camera Lens or telescope is either mentioned nor could either have a clear unobstructed view through the thousands of trees between the two locations. Another serious inconsistency in Mr. McConnell's statements is regarding why the white truck was leaving the first location. Reports are being received that the reason the truck, driven by Mr. Finicum, is seen leaving the first location was due to the truck taking fire by police and it was at the first location Mr. Ryan Bundy's shoulder wound was sustained when the police fired blindly into the white truck at the initial stop or first location. it is very odd that Mr. McConnell mentions nothing, since he was there, of these actions at the first location, and that would leave the only reliable testimony at this initial location to Mr. Ammon Bundy. More reports are being received regarding the actions and events that had taken place at the final or second location of the white truck. Reports are being received that Mr. Finicum after exiting the white truck and taking several steps lowers one arm and lifts the front of his jacket to show he is not carrying a firearm under his jacket on request and direction from police. It is at this instant, having determined Mr. Finicum is unarmed, the police fire a shot wounding Mr. Finicum in the abdomen. Mr. Finicum reaches down to the wound and because of the force of the trauma sustained begins to turn around and a number of wounds are sustained from the second policeman who had been approaching Mr. Finicum's location from behind. Nameless Facebook member analysis: "Mr. Finicum swerves to miss roadblock... agent/officer A (coming from the road) jumps out fires at rear window (look at last frame of video, hole in window). He exits vehicle, hands up... Agent B (coming from the road) takes a shot center mass...Mr. Finicum responds dropping his hands grabs abdomen and spins Agent C (coming from behind Mr. Finicum) takes final head shot...NO medical assistance checks on him to render aide as he lies there dying or dead..." This is in agreement with testimony from eye witnesses in the white truck. Another interesting problem has come to light. It had been the habit of many years of Mr. Finicum to wear a revolver at his right side. This can be demonstrated by photographs and video taken at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge and elsewhere in the past. No side arm was seen being worn at the final and second location. More interesting information is being reported from the County Seat of Harney County. County Workers have been sent home and the County Court House has been closed. The City Hall of Burns, Oregon has been closed. Judge Grasty is unavailable and the unelected Sheriff is saying very little to address or explain any of the actions of the FBI and Oregon State Police. Those arrested include Ammon Bundy, 40, of Emmett, Idaho; Ryan Bundy, 43, of Bunkerville, Nevada; Brian Cavalier, 44, of Bunkerville, Nevada; Shawna Cox, 59, Kanab, Utah; and Ryan Payne, 32, of Anaconda, Montana. Released from custody were Mark McConnell (who has posted two videos to Facebook) and Victoria Sharp (see: Facebook video above). In a separate event in Burns, Oregon State Police arrested Joseph O'Shaughnessy, 45, Cottonwood, Arizona. Also in Burns, the FBI arrested Peter Santilli, 50, of Cincinnati, Ohio. in Arizona at 8:30 p.m., the FBI's Phoenix Division made a probable cause arrest of Jon Eric Ritzheimer, 32, on a federal charge related to the armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon. Ritzheimer turned himself into the Peoria, Arizona, police department. The arrest was without incident. The FBI has stated that All of the named defendants face a federal felony charge of conspiracy to impede officers of the United States from discharging their official duties through the use of force, intimidation, or threats, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 372. The FBI has stated that those people remaining at the sit-in/occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge are free to leave, if they leave now, at 10:45 PM 01/26/2016. Note: The Deschutes County Major Crimes Team, charged with assisting in the investigation of a fatal shooting Tuesday of an armed militia member in Harney County, is a coalition of members from the county’s law enforcement agencies who can investigate significant incidents. Activated at the request of an agency or the district attorney, the team changes in size depending on need. Though it’s usually assembled for incidents within the county, it can assist on investigations outside of Deschutes County. Oregon State Police said in a news release Tuesday evening 01/26/2016 that state troopers were “involved” in the shooting. LaVoy Finicum — a 55-year-old rancher from Cane Beds, Arizona, and one of the militia’s leaders — died in the incident. Deschutes County Sheriff Shane Nelson said the major crimes team was asked by state police to take the lead on the investigation of Tuesday’s shooting. He estimated six detectives from agencies in Deschutes County were in Harney County working on the case. In gathering information for this post, an well reasoned and researched article, presented for thought by the Esteemed Reader, has been published at: http://ahtrimble.com/2016/01/27/sitrep-burns-oregon-1272016/ "SitRep – Burns, Oregon, Posted on January 27, 2016 by AH As stated early this morning I am providing a Situation Report (SitRep) on the recent developments in Burns, Oregon. For a basis of this article I am using – personal knowledge, speaking directly with people who have firsthand knowledge, reports and court records, BLM documents, media reporting with varying degrees of validation and verification. I am not going to reveal any sources of any kind. I am stating for the record that this entire article is my personal opinion and nothing more. I do so because there is limited, maybe no, First Amendment protection in this situation for me and I will not allow myself to be placed in a situation where I am forced to reveal sources. Again, for the record, this is all my opinion and conjecture. This is a complex and intricate situation that has been in the making for 15 years. It will not be resolved anytime soon and I doubt anyone is ever going to be satisfied with the outcome. A man died last night, no one can ever be satisfied with that…ever. That man, a father of 11 children, a grandfather of 19, a deeply religious Christian man. A man who was devoted and committed to liberty, rights, freedoms, and the document that ensures those…the Constitution. There was only one reason for that man to die…and I will explain that towards the end of this article. One more note before I get started, I will not go into excessive detail. I will do so when needed, but I will not provide details most of the time because the information I will refer to can be easily validated and verified online through a long list of reliable sources. I will work backwards on a timeline, it will make more sense that way. Robert “LaVoy” Finicum was killed during an ambush the night of 1/26/2016 by law enforcement officers. Multiple witnesses say that at the time Finicum was shot and killed by law enforcement officers he had his hands in the air, empty, and was not threat to anyone. There is no clear word on how Ryan Bundy was wounded. It is not clear what he was doing at the time. I will leave that for another day. There are reports that this was a “routine traffic stop.” That is 100% false! The FBI, in cooperation and coordination with the Oregon State Police (OSP) established roadblocks throughout the area. One primary purpose for the roadblocks was to prevent reinforcements responding to assist those inside the refuge. The other, and main, purpose of the roadblock was to force a confrontation with the refuge leadership. This had been carefully planned by the FBI and OSP for weeks. The FBI and OSP had even trained on how to do a “takedown” of any leadership vehicles. Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward admitted today that law enforcement agencies had been working and planning on “how to take them down.” Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward is not an elected Sheriff. He was appointed in 2015 by hand-picked committee. The person that hand-picked the committee members was none other than county Judge Steve Grasty. Sherriff Ward is indebted to, a crony of, Judge Grasty because the Judge made the decision to appoint Ward. Ward is not an elected Sheriff of the county in which he serves. The FBI and other law enforcement have not said anything about video of the violent ambush. If this was a simple routine traffic stop there would be all kinds of dash-cam footage available. I am hearing there is video footage but it will never see the light of day for any reason whatsoever, even if the release is ordered by a judge. The FBI doesn’t do “routine traffic stops”…ever. Have you ever heard the FBI issuing traffic tickets? The reason for the timing of the takedown was related to the offer of safety by the Sheriff of Grant County, Oregon. The Sheriff there had offered to take in the refuge leadership and provide them safety from arrest and prosecution at any level. The meeting that night was to work on arrangements to accept that offer and move some folks to Grant County and for others to leave the refuge. The FBI had been informed of that and was determined to prevent that from happening. In the days immediately prior to the ambush the Governor of Oregon had made it clear to the OSP and FBI to “end this situation.” Oregon Governor Kate Brown is – A far left-wing Democrat / Progressive, She is a radical environmentalist, She has been schooled from day one as a liberal extremist, especially in terms of the environment, She is a dedicated globalist and activist for that cause. She has even won an award from the Aspen Institute. AI is a radical globalist organization funded by the biggest globalist families in the world. She is openly bisexual although is married to a man. She absolutely abhors the Mormon/LDS church stances on gay issues and has stated such numerous times. She is a lawyer, earning her J.D. degree in Environmental Law from Northwestern School of Law of Lewis and Clark College, the #1 environmental law school in the country, maybe the world. She was appointed Governor of Oregon, she was not elected. Obama officials sent word to the FBI to “get the Burns situation resolved.” The FBI has been drawing-up contingency plans and broader planning on this operation for weeks. The reports of reduced LEO presence in the Burns area the last couple of weeks was a ruse. The resources were relocated to out of town staging areas and new resources brought into those staging areas to join them. This was part of the plan to get the refuge leadership to drop their guard. While they were doing this, they were planning both the tactical takedown of the refuge leadership, also multiple other persons around the west on related federal charges. The FBI intentionally passed-up multiple opportunities to peacefully arrest Bundy and others during meetings with those individuals. It was the same federal tactic used in Waco and at Ruby Ridge. Judge Steve Grasty, Harney County Judge, at the center of this situation, is a lifelong Democrat hardliner and rabid environmentalist. He is a board member of RDI (Rural Development Initiatives), an Agenda 21 partner, and recipient of federal money. Steve Grasty is also the brother of Brent Grasty. Brent Grasty is a BLM employee in charge of the environmental policy review process team in the Vale, Oregon BLM District Office. Brent Grastly is an environmental extremist and life-long Democratic hardliner. Brent & Steve have talked numerous times regarding local environmental issues, mineral rights issues, and the refuge stand-off. Those conversations create a conflict of interest for both men and violates federal laws and ethics policies of government employees and judges. The Hammonds, the focus of this situation, were originally charged in another fire related matter altogether. Normal BLM policy for fires that trespass onto BLM lands are rarely investigated. When they are investigated and pursued, the offending party is normally only given a $250 citation. There are times, not many, where suppression costs are sought through the legal system as restitution. There is a long list of “trespass fires” that are/were never pursued, few citations written, and seldom was restitution sought. The Hammonds burned less than 150 acres of BLM lands, no substantial resource damage was done, no loss of life, and no injuries. Not only were the Hammonds pursued through the legal system, they were charged as “terrorists” under a 1990’s law (Anti-terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act that Congress passed in 1996). That has never occurred in the history of BLM…ever prior to the Hammonds. And, the charges didn’t even come about for 9 years after one incident and 6 years after another incident. The BLM has absolutely no interest in the Hammonds for the fire related issues. The BLM is punishing the Hammonds for an entirely different reason. I haven’t nailed down exactly what it is to my satisfaction yet, so I won’t speculate to exactly what or why. But, I am telling you plainly…this is a punitive action on the part of BLM and the federal government for a whole other reason. Also, the Hammonds already served time in prison. However, several years after their release from prison, they were resentenced by a federal judge. Let me explain… federal judges don’t sit around looking over records and searching for people to send back to prison. The US Attorney’s office made motions and petitioned the federal judge to send the Hammonds back to prison. And, let me explain…US Attorneys don’t sit around looking over records and searching for people to send back to prison…unless there is a reason. A government employee, possibly BLM, pushed the US Attorneys’ office to pursue this issue. There is someone in the federal government, possibly the Oregon BLM office, that is trying hard to intimidate and persecute the Hammonds. That tells me only one thing…Hammonds have something that BLM or the federal government wants, Hammonds don’t want to give in to BLM blackmail and extortion, so BLM is going to use every trick available to them. There is a ton of official government records indicating that the interest BLM and the county has in the Hammonds has to do with valuable underground minerals. Hammonds just so happen to have rights to most of that land that BLM and the county have been intensely researching. And that research has included overflights, including FEMA airborne resources. BLM developments – Today there was a national conference call where state and local BLM managers were told – Threat level “yellow” indicating a grave concern for attacks on BLM facilities and employees. Offices recalled armed rangers to BLM offices to guard against attacks. BLM employees are to report any interaction with people who raise concerns over murder in Burns. Those reports will be sent to a centralized LEO office for coordinating efforts. BLM employees are to report any suspicious people or vehicles. Those reports will be sent to a centralized LEO office for coordinating efforts. A BLM “strike force” of highly trained SWAT personnel has been activated and pre-positioned to respond as needed anywhere in the country. These heavily armed SWAT teams are highly trained for vilent encounters with civilians. BLM is expecting an attack and occupation of offices in Kingman, AZ by ranchers and/or militia. Immediately after that conference call BLM employees around the west held emergency “all-employee” meetings. Prior to the killing (Mr. Finicum) last night, LEOs from multiple federal agencies expressed the desire to be in Burns to take out the militia in the refuge. The comments ranged from vague threats, to putting bullets in their heads. At one point using DElta was discussed in the event that the FBI wasn’t able to handle the situation. Today, in multiple BLM offices, there was a wide range of comments made by LEO and non-LEO employees that “it was about time”, “too bad more of them didn’t get it”, “that’s what they get”, etc. The FBI has been planning for quite a while to make these moves including escalation of force to include killing refuge occupiers and militia. The FBI has been using debit and credit card transactions to track the “subjects” as well as cell phone usage. The FBI waited until the subjects were on a secluded road before executing the ambush. The FBI and OSP projected there would be no witnesses to their tactical ambush and that was the reason for that particular location. However, reports are that there are indeed witnesses to the ambush. On April 6, 2015 I wrote that the FBI would get its revenge against the Bundy Family for Bunkerville. They would take their time and then strike the Bundy Family hard. Last night was that strike. It was fully expected that the Ryan Bundy would be shot and killed, as well as any other resistance leadership that they could take out at the same time. The FBI fulfilled that dream last night but they killed the wrong man and didn’t finish the job with Ryan. The federal government is not done with this yet. There will be more arrests, more federal charges, and probably more “routine traffic stop” incidents gone bad…resulting in more deaths. The federal government is intent on total suppression of the latest version of the Sage Brush Rebellion and especially militia groups. There is discussion at the highest level on how to use this incident to leverage Executive Order(s) in regards to gun control and confiscation. OK, I am worn out. The researching and writing of this article has taken a lot of time, effort, and energy. I have provided you more than enough information to see clearly what is going on here. You have – An environmental extremist state governor who was not elected to that office, An environmental extremist county judge, An environmental extremist BLM employee who is the brother of the environmental extremist county judge, A Sheriff who was not elected to that office, he was appointed by a environmental extremist county judge, An environmental extremist President, A far-left activist at the head of the Department of Justice, All of the above are Progressive radicals, A revenge seeking FBI, And a hidden reason why the federal government is after the Hammonds. So you have two Executive Branches of two levels of government involved. You have multiple law enforcement agencies from three levels of government involved. And you have a Judicial branch of government involved at the local level. All of the parties of the government are inter-related, all have a common factor of environmental extremism. There is motive. There is opportunity. FYI… A conspiracy theory is an explanatory or speculative hypothesis suggesting that two or more persons or an organization have conspired to cause or to cover up, through secret planning and deliberate action, an event or situation typically regarded as illegal or harmful. By now you can figure out what is happening in Burns, Oregon. If you are a Mormon (LDS) you are familiar with the terms “Gadianton Robbers” and “King-men.” You can see it here plain as day. If you are not Mormon, you can see where government officials at all levels are corrupt to the bone. And they are using the FBI once again as a “hit squad” to crush anyone who opposes the government agenda. Here is the truly bad aspect…they are not done. The FBI, along with various state and local law enforcement agencies around the west, are going to keep marching right through the ranks of militias, freedom fighters, Constitutionalists, patriot groups, and anyone else who opposes or exposes the tyranny of our current government. And it is going to get ugly, very ugly. We saw that the Obama administration has gone after patriot groups, Constitutional groups, Tea Party groups and all the while they denied it, even the President. Now, the evidence is all there and crystal clear to see that the Obama administration was in-fact using the IRS to go after their enemies. And the clear evidence in documents shows that both the FBI and Department of Justice was in on this with the IRS and other Obama administration officials.I am telling you point blank that there will be more action taken by the FBI and DOJ. It will be nasty and lethal. More patriots, militia members, etc. will die resisting during “routine traffic stops.” This government is in an all-out purging mode right now…a violent and deadly purge. Obama will have his legacy. He already promised us a “fundamental transformation” of America…he is delivering on that promise. I doubt, actually I am convinced, that no group that considers themselves patriots, Constutionalists, etc. will lift a finger to do anything. They will fade away and disappear just as they did under President Clinton. There is no spine and no teeth to actually do anything as the groups have said they would. I know that may offend some people, maybe many, but it is the truth. I truly hope I am wrong, I am honest in that statement. But I know I am right, there just isn’t enough will or capacity to do anything else. At least that is the case at this time and in the near future. But don’t let that disappoint or frustrate you. The time has come that you better figure out who you are and which side of the fence your morals and principles fall. As a prepper you must plan, you absolutely must. “What will I do when…?” I am not telling you to push the panic button. I am not telling you to do anything stupid or illegal. I am surely not telling you to do anything violent. I am telling you to see things for what they are. See people for whose side they are on. And figure out who you are inside…who you are as a person…who you want to be…who you will be. What does your soul look like? One day soon you will need to know who that person inside you is. It is better to figure that out now…and plan accordingly." AH A Facebook member had this to say regarding the entire combined series of incidences BLM-destruction of homes, cattle, and rangeland; Hammond-defense of home and range land; Bundy sit-in/occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. "I am deeply saddened and angered with the events in my hometown- Harney County. Despite the Bundy occupation on the refuge, what happen to our community? Instead of standing united to support the real issue- an extremely unfair five year sentence conviction of some of our community members, the Hammonds, we are fighting over the Bundy's. Where friends can turn on friends for not agreeing with their side of the issue, businesses are boycotted because they fall on the other side of the line than some of their customers. When as a county, and a nation, did we become so arrogant in our own opinions that we can't allow others to have a different opinion without feeling the need to destroy them verbally or financially? The turn of events with the shoot out yesterday is sickening, WHATEVER happened. A man lost his life, his wife and children will never see him again, and the government could have practiced restraint. I am not advocating for or against the Bundy occupation, however, Harney County Ranchers and Agriculturalists across many western states have been frustratingly pushed out, lost land due to interest groups and have often been downplayed in their importance to American economy. Instead of supporting the real issue, which is a gross misuse of power in our government sectors that affect local management, we are turning on our own and are so inflamed to kill the messenger on the other side, we forget the real issues. Perhaps, instead we can diplomatically work to strengthen land owner rights, protect our ranching way of life which strengthens EVERY community. Show respect for others, even when you don't agree with their opinion. Perhaps, those who live "in town" can sit down with ranchers in the area and find out what struggles they really are facing and how they can help, instead of spreading rumors and misinformation; and perhaps ranchers can combine efforts to educate folks on the importance of land resources and local management issues instead of fighting battles on their own. I know I'm on my soap box and if you don't agree, that's ok. But stop acting like your opinion is the only right opinion, come together as a nation and community and begin to work together on the real issues and government overreaches instead of spreading hate, disrespect and fear producing rhetoric. I am praying for the man who lost his life and his family, and for the community who has a deep divide to heal. Be proactive of course, but be united for sake of the community, this has national consequences for the future, not just for Harney County." Jaime Cargill 01-27-2016 https://www.facebook.com/jaimecargill?fref=nf However you look at this sad series of recent incidences, the Esteemed Readers should keep in mind the cause for these and the future confrontations, altercations, and the losses that shall come pass. Look for part 2, Back-fill or, Leveling the Field of Understanding.
