The Harassment of the Hammonds – Act I – Scene 2 – October 24 1986 – March 20 1987

 

Note: Numbers shown thus, {nn} refer to PDF page numbers in the "Hammond Legal Trailing Part I" PDF file. 

On October 24, 1986, Dwight Hammond met with the Tom Downs, Dave Johnson, and the Assistant Refuge Manager, to discuss stray cattle and "trailing", the means of herding to move cattle from one location to another.  Dwight discussed his practice during round up, and what he did with strays that were collected with his herd.  {2-3} He didn't think that he should notify people when he trailed his cattle, based upon "past prior rights and/or privileges". 

Apparently, a new policy was being implemented that placed even more obligations on an already hard working rancher.

When on the Refuge land, Dwight would allow his cattle to rest, and when they did, they grazed on grass that was not on his allotment.  A Telephone Conversation Record, dated Feb. 13, 1987 {4}, provides notes of the conversation, within the agencies.

In a letter from Lawrence W. De Bates, Assistant Regional Director, Fish and Wildlife Services (FWS) {10}, dated February 20, 1987, based upon a meeting on the 17th, the follow-up implies that Dwight must move his cattle at a pace determined by the Refuge, and they should not graze off the assigned trail.  He further defends the fencing within the Refuge "for wildlife management purposes".  Finally, he requires Dwight to get a permit to trail his cattle on the reserve.  This is the first instance of requiring a permit to trail his cattle.

NC: An Open Letter & Open Report / Black History Month Part 6

 

H.L. Hunley Funeral/Parade: HK & Dixie

In the continuing effort to commemorate Black History Month, on February 17, 2016, don in the uniform of the Southern Soldier, I would post his Colors between the entrance and exit of T.C. Roberson High School ( Buncombe County, North Carolina ).

As the throng of cars entering and leaving the school would began to slow to a trickle,a Sheriff Car would pull up behind me, and two young Deputies would approach as I returned a salute from a passing car, and a wave from another from both sides of the busy four lane highway adjacent to where I stood in the public easement.

The young Black Officer would say;" Mr. Edgerton, we are not here to ask you to leave. However, we are obliged by the school to tell you not to come on school property, and we are also obliged to help you should you need that help". Stay as long as you like.

My reply as I gave them both a hand salute; God bless you men, and have a good day! And you as well, they would almost simultaneously say. And, I did so much so as I watched the spirits of the people so uplifted by my presence with the Southern Cross. Their hugs, their waves, their shouts of the Rebel Yell, the honks of their car horn, the stories they came to tell, the questions they asked.

On my birthday, February 18; the same day that the Honorable President Jefferson Davis would give his 1st Inaugural Address on the Capitol Steps in Montgomery, Alabama; I would return once again to T.C. Roberson High School to commemorate men like Dr. Alexander Darnes , Rev. Mack Lee, Robert Stover, Dick Popular. And of the love, and deep respect they and their families  shared with and for General Robert E.Lee, General Thomas Jackson, General John Hunt Morgan, General Nathan Bedford Forrest,General Kirby Smith  and so many others whose generosity and love would lead them to become giants in the legacy of Black History second to none ;no matter how much those who are delegated to present and record accurate history choose to ignore. God bless you!

NATO commander: The Islamic State is “spreading like cancer” among Muslim migrants to Europe

Via Billy

Anyone could have and should have seen this coming. But no one in power cared to do so.

Last February, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. And the Lebanese Education Minister recently said that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in camps in his country. Meanwhile, 80% of migrants who have recently come to Europe claiming to be fleeing the war in Syria aren’t really from Syria at all.

So why are they claiming to be Syrian and streaming into Europe, and now the U.S. as well? An Islamic State operative gave the answer when he boasted in September, shortly after the migrant influx began, that among the flood of refugees, 4,000 Islamic State jihadis had already entered Europe. He explained their purpose: “It’s our dream that there should be a caliphate not only in Syria but in all the world, and we will have it soon, inshallah.” These Muslims were going to Europe in the service of that caliphate: “They are going like refugees,” he said, but they were going with the plan of sowing blood and mayhem on European streets. As he told this to journalists, he smiled and said, “Just wait.” We are waiting in the U.S. as well.

Marco Rubio Has a Second Amendment Problem

 

When Marco Rubio was a local commissioner in Florida in 1999, he voted to ban guns from local parks.

Now, politicians make mistakes. And honest politicians “fess up” and move on.

Rubio's problem is that, when Senator Ted Cruz called attention to Rubio's anti-gun vote, Marco’s response was to call Ted a “liar.”

This was part of a larger narrative in which Donald Trump and Rubio were hurling “pants on fire” insults at Cruz.

But when Rubio disavowed his 1999 anti-gun vote -- falsely accusing Ted Cruz of Rubio's own sins -- he made a serious mistake.

Because it turns out that Breitbart had a videotape of Rubio casting the anti-gun vote which he was denying.

Mississippi will fight Confederate flag lawsuit

Via Billy

Mississippi's attorney general says he will defend the Confederate-themed state flag against a lawsuit that seeks to remove the banner, even though he thinks the flag hurts the state and should change.

Democrat Jim Hood said Wednesday that his opinion about state laws won't prevent him from fulfilling his oath to defend them.

The Federalist - If forced into a choice between Clinton and Trump, I will prefer Hillary Clinton.

I Want To Live To See Jane Fonda Die

The Federalist - If forced into a choice between Clinton and Trump, I will prefer Hillary Clinton. This is a painful choice, but the need to live to fight another day is why conservatives should adopt a Hamilton Rule if, God forbid, the choice comes down to Hillary and Trump. My hands almost could not type those words, because I think Hillary Clinton is one of the worst human beings in American politics. But Trump will be worse. Morally unmoored, emotionally unstable, a crony capitalist of the worst kind.

  The Federalist and similar outfits have revealed themselves for the co-conspirators they are . This is why saving the conservative "movement" or the Republican Party is pointless—save it for what? And what does "live to fight another day" mean? When was the first day? Moderation and compromise isn't fighting. Witty repartee and clever comebacks isn't fighting. Congressmen rolling over after ritual jousting isn't fighting. Career conservatives and Republicans, a.k.a. cuckservatives, are so collegial, so timid, so deep into the game they believe the game is all that matters, worse, they think people with legitimate concerns are an annoying distraction . So support Hillary, but don't tell me how self-sacrificing and clever you are. And give Jane Fonda a hug while you're in the neighborhood.

The Harassment of the Hammonds – Act I – Scene 1 – Introduction

 

 Outpost Of Freedom

VERBATIM

Long before the fires (controlled burn in 2002 and a backfire to protect their own property in 2006) that resulted in Dwight and Steven Hammond being imprisoned for 5 years, the dispute over their rights had begun. Nearly four decades of harassment had been directed against them, until, finally, the government could make a very meager case, using a law enacted to cover terrorism, and applied to the Hammonds for doing what the government does, on a regular basis.

The Hammond family had been ranching in Harney County, for many years. They had been grazing on allotments on public lands, and as any rancher, they sought to resolve problems, though resolution had to be practical.

When the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was the overseer of the land in question, no problems arose. However, when the Fish and Wildlife Services (FWS) became the controlling agency, the protection of wildlife and plants, even to an absurd extreme, became priority, at the risk of a way of life.

The information (cited documents) in the following series, being public records with no indication of any security or confidentiality, were obtained in order to record the history of the Hammond’s relationship with various agencies, in order to continue their business of cattle ranching as they had become accustomed. The documentation revolves around the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge).

After 1988, it appears that he problem was solved, as there is no correspondence or entries in the folder to indicate any problems or harassment.

Then, in 1994, we see that the Refuge, once again, tries to obstruct the traditional and historical rights of the Hammonds.

This first Act will cover the decade of the eighties. The second act will cover the decade of the nineties. Throughout Act I, you will find numbers shown thusly, {nn}. They refer to the PDF page numbers in the “Hammond Legal Trailing Part I” PDF file, that being only a portion of the recovered documents. More will be brought out in Act II.

Hillary Clinton Eulogized KKK Kleagle Lawmaker in 2010

The leftist media and GOP elites are trying to tie Donald Trump to the KKK.
 
The liberal media asked Trump repeatedly about David Duke’s endorsement trying to tie Trump to the KKK.

** On Monday David Duke said he never endorsed Donald Trump – The media was lying.

What the media fails to mention is that Hillary Clinton was friends with former Senator Robert Byrd who was a KKK Kleagle recruiter.

Visit to Gun Store in Indy

Via Iver

"Went to our favorite gun store the other day. They now have a sign on the door that says we're required to remove all hats and sunglasses. We turned around and left. My friend who works there
says they've installed more cameras and that the ATF or DHS is in there every hour they're open. He's pretty sure they're compiling biometric identification, matching with driver license photos. He said since the sign went up, their store visits are way, way down. He's pretty sure that they're gearing up for nationwide confiscation no matter who is elected."Well, we' waiting.  Can't believe they would be this stupid. )
