Swamp School reports:
On April 7, 2016 a federal Montana jury found Mr. Joseph David Robertson, 77, guilty on two counts of unauthorized discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States and one count of injury or depredation of United States property. He now faces up to 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The sentencing phase is pending. Mr. Robertson was indicted by a grand jury in May of 2015 as a result of illegal ponds he built on two parcels of land near Basin, Montana, one on Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest land and the other on adjacent private property. The ponds resulted in the discharge of dredged and fill material into a tributary stream and adjacent wetlands and caused widespread damage to both properties.Robertson joined Jim White and me on Northwest Liberty News on Friday and spoke about what he has had to endure at the hands of the federal tyrants of the EPA. Click here to listen to the interview.
At trial, the government introduced evidence that in October of 2013, a United States Forest Service (USFS) Special Agent visited the National Forest property to determine whether Mr. Robertson had complied with previously issued conditions of probation for misdemeanor violations of USFS regulations. The Agent testified at trial that during the site visit, she observed multiple ponds dug into an existing stream on both USFS and adjacent private property.
Mr. Robertson lives on the White Pine Lode patented mining claim that he owns. In 2013 and 2014, he dug ponds that discharged dredged and fill materials into an adjacent tributary of Cataract Creek and into nearby wetlands. A U.S. Forest Service agent discovered the ponds when she went to the property to see whether Mr. Robertson had complied with a judge's previous order to remove structures he had built on federal lands without permission.
Mr. Robertson dug the ponds to protect his property from fire and to water his horses, his federal public defender said in court filings. Mr. Robertson acknowledged at the time that he didn't have a permit to do the work, but he said a Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks official had given him permission to dig.
In May 2015, the US Attorney's Office filed a criminal indictment against Robertson and charged that he had discharged pollutants into US waters without authorization and had been involved in malicious mischief that resulted in injury to the property of the United States. They claimed that he had caused $70,000 in damages and that the wetlands had suffered a loss of between $25,000 and $40,000 per acre due to his actions.
"This verdict sends a message that the United States will not stand by and allow streams and wetlands of the United States to be polluted, or National Forest lands to be injured," said United States Attorney for the District of Montana Mike Cotter. "Clean and healthy waterways are a critical resource for all forms of life and are a Montana value. It is imperative that we protect this increasingly scarce resource. The collaborative efforts of multiple state and federal agencies in cases like this help ensure that individuals who seek to degrade it will be held accountable."
"Rivers, streams and wetlands provide essential habitat for fish and wildlife which must be protected, and EPA and its law enforcement partners are committed to protecting these invaluable natural assets as well as the communities around them," said Jeffrey Martinez, Special Agent in Charge of EPA's criminal enforcement program in Montana. "The defendant's illegal activity took place not only on public land but also on private property he didn't own. Today's guilty verdict demonstrates that polluters will be held accountable for their actions."
However, as Robertson told Jim and me, he has a land patent on his land, which means he is not subject to the regulations imposed by either the state or federal government. He is free to do with his land as he lawfully pleases.
Robertson was convicted. However, he told us that one of the jury members was an employee of the US Forest Service. Talk about a conflict of interest!
This tyranny against Mr. Robertson is a result of the unconstitutional Clean Water Act.
Meanwhile in Wyoming, Andy Johnson faced similar Gestapo tactics from the EPA regarding ponds he built on his property. Johnson was threatened with $16 million in fines. However, he recently won his case against the EPA, which saw charges and fines dropped.
Robertson is hoping that someone will step up and fight alongside him in his battler against the EPA.

WHAT ABOUT THE ACTS of WAR CALLED CHEMTRAILS?? HOW MUCH LONGER ARE THESE PSYCO WORLD CRIMINALS GOING TO GET AWAY WITH THIS SHIT???
“The power of the judge and prosecutor over the jury is in direct proportion to the jury’s ignorance.”
ALL DE FACTO JURIES ARE RIGGED
Take a lesson from Harry Houdini. Make the agents vanish and the problems go away. Works in NC.
The Matrix is collapsing.
You either wake up to who you are, or it's going to take you down with it.
Is the man servant to the system?
Is he sovereign as the people that wrote that constitution.
If he is bound by the constitution, which they said is just a piece of paper, than any man bound by paper is a slave.
I don't meant hurt anyone's feelings or crash their paradigm.
But ask yourself.
The people that wrote that paper were sovereign.
They had got their independence from a King who claimed all rights they had were to be given to them.
They turn around and write a piece of paper enumerating the rights of the people.
Is that all?
Because if that is. Then the rights on that paper says he could hold a gun in his hand but never build a pond on his land.
Why would anyone want to be under a piece of paper that cannot enumerate all of your rights? Infinite rights as long as you aren't harming someone else.
Yes the 'Do as thou wilt' clause so many hate, but it's true.
Do you.
Do your life.
As long as you don't interfere with someone else doing their life. - -Including not wanting to be a gender and still having to go to a bathroom.
The Matrix is collapsing, and if you are still stuck under the controlling structures of it, you will collapse with it down to it's very foundation.
Wake up.
Everything is created. Why?
Why are the things you hate, still created?
And even though you hate them, they still exist?
Shouldn't you be able to make things you don't like go away?
If you saw the movie, The Box.
A family was given a box.
Press the button and someone will die and they will get a million dollars.
Do you press the button on someone, because of their religion, or the fact they don't want to be called a type, locked into an idea or construct, made to believe less than all there is?
That man, either wakes up or as the movie the Matrix said.
When you die in the matrix, you die for real.
Now you have your 500,000,000 Georgia Guidestones.
Which are you, the left behind to be controlled, or the ones that wake the hell up out of this dream/construct/collapse of control?
Much love either way YOU choose to go.
As Bix Weir says, May the road you choose be the right road.
[ if there is right or wrong - just do you - you'll be on your road, wherever it leads YOU. ]
WHEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE START STORMING FRANKENSTEIN'S CASTLE [ALL TOGETHER] WITH THEIR TORCHES THEN THE FREAKS [THE ELITE] WILL NOT HAVE THE POWER TO DO THIS CRAP ANY LONGER. AS LONG AS WE ALLOW THE FREAKS TO DO IT THEN THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DO IT. WE NEED A KUMBAYA MEETING TO ALL BE ON THE SAME PAGE AND BRING DOWN FRANKENSTEIN . OTHER COUNTRIES GET RID OF THEIR FREAKS IN THE CASTLE AND THERE IS NO REASON WHY WE CANNOT DO THE SAME. I WISH PEOPLE WOULD START FIGHTING JURISDICTION INSTEAD OF FIGHTING THEIR CASE AS ONCE JURISDICTION IS GIVEN [AS I HAVE LEARNED FIVE YEARS AGO]THEN WE ARE F***** BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO WIN UNLESS LUCK STRIKES!
ON ANON: 5:16 GEOENGINEERING/CHEMTRAIL ISSUE IT SNOWED THIS MORNING IN MICHIGAN...THEN IT HAILED. WE ARE HAVING OCT/NOVEMBER WEATHER, IN MID-MAY. I HAD CALLED THE EPA ON THE GEOENGINEERING/CHEMTRAIL AND FUKUSHIMA MAYBE SIX MONTHS AGO AND I DEMANDED THAT REGINA CALL ME BACK. OF COURSE, SHE NEVER DID SO I EMAILED HER AND STILL NOTHING. THE ACTUAL SECRETARY TO Regina "Gina" McCarthy WAS A NICE GUY NAMED Michael..WHEN I TOLD him about FUKUSHIMA HE [ACTED] AS IF HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT. SO MICHAEL AND I WENT ROUND AND ROUND WHEN I MENTIONED FUKUSHIMA BECAUSE I MADE HIM FEEL STUPID THAT HE [ACTED] AS IF HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT FUKUSHIMA WAS. I SAID TO MICHEAL, "YOU ARE SCARING ME BECAUSE YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT YOU ARE THE SECRETARY FOR REGINA, WHO IS THE HEAD OF THE EPA, AND YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF FUKUSHIMA???" I COULD TELL HE WAS NOT LYING. HE LISTENED TO ME AND HE WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT IT. I BELIEVE THAT ONLY CERTAIN PEOPLE IN THE EPA KNOW WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING JUST AS IN ALL FEDERAL AGENCIES THEY ARE COMPARTMENTALIZED. I FELT A LITTLE SORRY FOR HIM BECAUSE I WAS NOT NICE AT FIRST BECAUSE I HAVE HAD IT WITH BEING POISONED. LIKE I SAID BEFORE...WE NEED TO STOP DEALING WITH THE TAIL OF THE THREE HEADED SNAKE AND SEVERE THE HEADS OF THE SNAKE. UNTIL WE TAKE OUT THE HEADS THEN WE ARE JUST GOING AROUND AND AROUND IN CIRCLES.
"Why would anyone want to be under a piece of paper that cannot enumerate all of your rights? Infinite rights as long as you aren't harming someone else."
THE CONSTITUTION OF SEPTEMBER 17, 1787, IS NOT FOR NATURAL BORN FLESH AND BLOOD MEN OR WOMAN. THE CONSTITUTION IS MEANT TO [RESTRAIN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT] FROM [TAKING] RIGHTS AND NOT TO LIMIT THE RIGHTS TO THE NATURAL BORN MEN AND WOMEN. WE HAVE SOOO MANY MORE RIGHTS FROM GOD THAN WHAT IS IN THE CONSTITUTION OR BILL OF RIGHTS AS LONG AS WE DO NOT HARM ANYONE OR THEIR PROPERTY. IT IS UNIVERSAL LAW...
Yeah! Snowed here in Michigan yesterday and today... someone better let Al Gore know!
As for the EPA, regardless of what they say, they are following mandates. They know what is going on, they need that pay check more than they care about what is right.. just like every sheriff follows the mandates from those who issue their pay checks over the Constitution and the 10th Amendment powers.
Hi Marie,
Choose as you may.
The paper was written by man.
Man who should have known what his and everyone's rights are without having to write it down.
Other men worship the paper, and forget man knows these things because it is part of man, and doesn't have to be written down.
Other men bind the men that need the paper to exactly what the paper allows and makes him get into dispute about the other rights he has that is not on paper.
Everyone can hold onto their blankey if they need it.
Some people grow up and out of the control, regardless of the year the control was written.
Life is created before 1787.
When that sinks in, you'll get an idea of where sovereignty comes from.
Peace be with you, as it already is.
I know that the EPA knows as far as Regina and all of the top EPA know exactly what is going on. How are we going to stop the geoengineering ET AL?
