Hammond Ranch: Divide and Conquer!

The Hammond Ranch: Divide And Conquer! Conflict Between Patriots!

---

Culture Vigilante — January 2, 2016

As patriots descend upon Burns, Oregon, to protest peacefully, or not, the unconstitutional application of the law which is sending the Dwight and Steven Hammond to prison for a second time for one crime, the focus may shift from its original purpose. 

There seems to be a schoolyard pissing contest brewing between patriot organizations for the right to be king of the sandbox.

It has always been clear, the Hammonds have decided to acquiesce to government demands that they return to prison. It is true, that they have been threatened by the federal government with severe consequence if they communicate with Ammon Bundy or any patriot/militia organizations. So, it isn’t a stretch to speculate whether or not their decisions were made under duress. 

Regardless, they have made a choice, whether I or anyone else agrees with it, which is at present time, their right to do. Patriots, previously unified under similar outrage at government overreach are now at odds with this decision and are taking swipes at each other over the issue. 

The government has won, not just on the Hammond issue, but the issue of divide and conquer to subdue pariot coalescence.

Here, in this youtube video, Stewart Rhodes, of OathKeepers expresses vehement opposition to the organization of patriots in Burns to protest the surrender of the Hammonds.

  

He’s right on many counts. The Hammonds have decided to surrender to the feds, and they have not asked for help from outside entities. This is not another Bundy Ranch showdown. And Ammon Bundy is not clear on what he is asking for when he sent out a call for patriots and militias to come to Burns. There is no danger of, at this time, the Hammond family being murdered in a Waco fashion, by a forceful federal government, as may have been the case in the Bundy Ranch standoff.

The other side of the issue sees a bigger picture at stake. Ammon Bundy, and others, feel if the feds succeed in carting the Hammonds off to prison, there is nothing stopping them from going after any other American on similar grounds. They too, are right. Clearly the law has been misapplied and through threats and other injustices, the Hammonds have had all resistance beat out of them. 

For Americans to stand by and do nothing is just as big an injustice. The main stream media will never give this story the proper coverage it deserves, and without a massive coalescence of the patriot movement, this episode in government over-reach and tyranny will be another forgotten chapter in the destruction of a great and free nation.

There is no question. The federal government is abusing its power and acting outside of its authority. If the people of Harney County and Burns, Oregon, do not want controversy, they need to stand up and demand  elected sheriffs and officials protect and defend those who have elected them to serve, or they should be eliminated from offices they hold. Leaving the fight for freedom, to others, is the reason this is happening in the first place. 

Reinforcements from outside groups can/will only strengthen your voice. But you have to ask for it. They can/will strengthen your voice, and non-violently, if you stand. The power is and  always has been yours.
And, possibly most importantly, the people of Oregon have a responsibility to the rest of the country to demand justice and support of the Constitution. 

Freedom and liberty are not passive endeavors. You cannot rely on others to fight your battles. And in contrast, your freedoms are directly joined to the freedoms of Americans all across the country. 

Ammon Bundy and those working with him understand that premise. Sadly, most Americans no longer do, and it is that fact that has given a tyrannical government the steam to oppress people like the Hammonds, the Bundys and Schuyler Barbeau.

Cliven Bundy just released this statement:

FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE:
CLIVEN D. BUNDY
PO Box 7175
Bunkerville, NV 89007
702-346-5564
January 1, 2016 

With great concern and love and much consideration from prayer, I come to you Harney County Sheriff of Oregon David M. Ward, rancher Steven Dwight Hammond, and rancher Dwight Lincoln Hammond, Jr.

I, Cliven D. Bundy, have been involved for several weeks in the background striving to understand and comprehend your dilemmas in Harney County, Oregon. I understand that the grass that was burnt on each side of the fence was grazing rights that had been created through beneficial use, one side of the fence being private property and the other side of the fence being private property rights. The fires that were set were for a good purpose and had good results.

The United States Justice Department has NO jurisdiction or authority within the State of Oregon, County of Harney over this type of ranch management. These lands are not under U.S. treaties or commerce.  They are not article 4 territories, and Congress does not have unlimited power.

These lands have been admitted into statehood and are part of the great State of Oregon and the citizens of Harney County enjoy the fullness of the protections of the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Constitution limits United States government.

It is my suggestion, Steven Hammond, that you go and check yourself into Harney County jail asking for protective custody. It is my suggestion, Dwight Hammond, that you go and check yourself into Harney County jail asking for protective custody

It is my suggestion, Harney County Sheriff David Ward, accept these two ranchers into your jail, notify the United States Solicitor in Washington DC that you have these two ranchers in Harney County jail, that they will remain there indefinitely under your protective custody and the protection of We the People of Harney County and We the People of the United States of America.

I suggest an Evidentiary Hearing or a Grand Jury be formed by We the People. I feel that this action is immediately important, that it should be taken place before 10:00 am Saturday, January 2, 2016.

I will hold these suggestions private until that time.  Then I will release this letter to those having state and county jurisdiction and to the media.

Cliven D. Bundy

So, here is what we know. The 'government' is tyrannical and overreaching on this issue. The Hammonds are not terrorists and should never have been prosecuted under such severe laws, nor should they be spending any time in jail. The disruption to their lives is an unthinkable injustice, and this action against them is a threat to the freedom of every American.

We also know the 'government' won this round. Patriots who have previously stood shoulder to shoulder are now swiping at each other over a (serious) disagreement on protocol. It often happens in situations such as this that the forest gets lost for the trees and egos overtake good judgement. 

The players in this round played right into the hands of the enemy and are now, on some level, divided.

All I can tell you is, if/when I ever became the target of 'government' injustice and tyranny, I would want both patriot sides of this issue to have my back. Both have been/are united under the goal of protecting freedom and liberty. But both are also engaged in a power struggle that doesn’t need to exist, at least in public. 

Agree to disagree, and go about your business, but please keep your eye on the ball. Someday (and probably sooner than later) others might need your help. It would be a shame if you weren’t there.  America crumbled because egos weren’t checked at the door.

PETE SANTILLI UPDATE: GOV PUT HIM ON 'TERRORIST WATCH LIST'!!!!!!

Former Marine Held at Gunpoint After Landing on Terror Iist… Now We May Know Sickening Reason...

Dec 27, 2015

From Conservative Tribune:  Radio show host and former U.S. Marine Pete Santilli and his co-host Debra Jordon were arrested at gunpoint this past week as they were heading out west to cover an ongoing story they had been covering involving the Hammond Ranch family in Oregon.

The ranching family members were considered possible terrorists, and the 'government' had a plan in place to arrest the men of the family in January. Santilli has been covering the family for months and this arrest seemed to be, by his account, a little fishy.

Santilli said of the ordeal that the arresting officer, Newtown, Ohio, Chief of Police Thomas Synan Jr., claimed that Santilli had been impeding traffic. However, the reason for the arrest was that Santilli’s name and vehicle were supposedly on the terror watch list.

In a recording of the arrest, Synan claimed that Santilli was impeding traffic by using his phone, then claimed that Santilli was not wearing his seatbelt. According to Santilli, none of that was true, Freedom Outpost reported.

Sanity said he was using his electronic vapor and then had picked up his cellphone to begin recording once Synan pulled him over. Synan then asked for Santilli’s driver’s license and registration.

Synan asked if Santilli had a gun in the car, to which Santilli replied that he did and told the officer where it was. It was registered to him and was located in his bag.

That is when Synan, unprovoked, stepped back from the car, unholstered his weapon and pointed it at Santilli’s head demanding that Santilli and his co-host put their hands in the air.
Then things got even stranger.

“Ste…. keep your hands up — put your hands up now,” Synan yelled.
That is when Synan radioed for back-up and stated, “I need another unit to start this way. Subjects on the terrorist watch list. Got a gun in the car.”

Once backup arrived, Synan then stated, “90, vehicle matched to the terrorist watch list — along with names.”

Sanitlli and his passenger were both arrested. The official reason given was that they were booked on a gun charge, but there was never any mention as to how Santilli wound up on the terrorist watch list in the first place.

Santilli now has a court date set in January which he must address while also continuing to cover the Hammond ranching family — which, one is forced to suspect, may have been the entire reason for this traffic stop in the first place.

Obama's challenge in 2016 campaign year: stay relevant

OBAMA'S CHALLENGE IN 2016 CAMPAIGN YEAR: STAY RELEVANT (SAY WHAAAT??!!)

By Jeff Mason

HONOLULU (Reuters) - Advancing gun control, closing the U.S. military prison in Cuba and reforming criminal justice laws are likely to top President Barack Obama's State of the Union address agenda next month as he starts his last year with a key goal: remaining relevant.

Obama, who returns from a two-week vacation in Hawaii this weekend, will deliver his last State of the Union speech to both houses of Congress on Jan. 12, kicking of his final year in office just as the campaign to succeed him moves into a higher profile phase.

Current and former White House advisers noted that Obama avoided any slide into "lame duck" status in 2015 with big policy moves including the Iran nuclear deal and an international agreement to fight climate change.

With an especially chaotic Republican presidential race, led by frontrunner Donald Trump, they say Obama will continue to drive public discourse even as his time in office draws to a close. 

"I expect 2016 will look a lot like 2015, the 'president' and his team continuing to put substantive legacy-worth points on the board while the political circus is focused on Trump and the rest," said Dan Pfeiffer, a former White House adviser.

Advisers have signaled that Obama's final State of the Union address is unlikely to include a laundry list of proposed legislative initiatives that has been typical of other years.

The speech will emphasize policy priorities on climate change (?? still on this LIE) and Cuba while highlighting policy pushes he wants to finish, such as trade. 

It is also likely to include a new call for gun control. "We know that we can’t stop every act of violence. But what if we tried to stop even one? What if Congress did something – anything – to protect our kids from gun violence?" Obama said in his weekly radio address, released on Friday.

Obama said he will meet with Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Monday to discuss options that his 'advisers' have put together to address the issue, suggesting an announcement on new initiatives is likely soon. (MORE preparations to take down Americans and this nation.)

The 'president' may decide to take executive action on another key priority before he leaves office: closing the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. 

The White House plans to release a revised plan to Congress spelling out a way to close the infamous facility, but aides are not optimistic that lawmakers will alter their resistance to moving prisoners to a location on U.S. soil. 

Though executive action to close Guantanamo is not being talked about openly at the White House, aides said it was something the president would no doubt wrestle with before the end of the year.

"Presidents are always relevant and this 'president' seems determined to use every legal authority (??!!) he has to (have) impact on the big challenges he sees," said David Axelrod, a former adviser and strategist for Obama's 2008 and 2012 election wins. (Axelrod - hardline marxist/communist; druggie; known traitor to all that is America; with DA as an 'advisor' who the heck needs enemies? DO YOU GET THE PICTURE YET OF WHAT'S COMING AT US LIKE A OUT OF CONTROL LOCOMOTIVE?  The 'plan' has been being laid out before us for the past 7 years, and what have Americans done about it?  The banquet [plan] will be served shortly and guess who is on the menu to be devoured?)

FEMA Camps for Immigrants and One Set for Americans

Coming in 2016?  Don't worry about packing a suitcase - you won't need it courtesy of Ollie North and the US Marines and the Nazi Obama regime.

 

One Set of FEMA Camps for Immigrants and One Set for Americans

24Jul, 2014by Dave Hodges

 

 

I have been wondering through the midst of this illegal alien crisis, I have been wondering why are we not seeing the 800 known FEMA camps being used to house these illegal alien immigrants. After all, the following paragraphs establish the fact that this is why the concept of FEMA camps came into being back in 1987.  

There is not a simple one sentence, or one paragraph answer to this question except to say the aftermath of what has begun serves to threaten every American citizen. In the following paragraphs I will systematically present the notion that there are two types of FEMA camps. There is the one  FEMA camp for the present illegal aliens and there are the untouched 800 FEMA camps plus the use of public venues for you and me.

REX 84

When the REX 84 FEMA Camp program was created by people such as Lt. Col. Oliver North, who was both National Security Council White House Aide, and NSC liaison to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and John Brinkerhoff, the deputy director of “national preparedness” programs for FEMA’s role in the creation of the camps, our ultimate fate for future generations of Americans was sealed.

The existence of the Rex 84 plan was first revealed during the Iran-Contra Hearings in 1987, and subsequently reported by the Miami Herald on July 5, 1987.

” These camps are to be operated by FEMA should martial law need to be implemented in the United States and all it would take is a presidential signature on a proclamation and the attorney general’s signature on a warrant to which a list of names is attached.”

The Rex 84 Program was established on the reasoning that if a “mass exodus” of illegal aliens crossed the Mexican/US border, they would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention centers by FEMA. Since 1987 we have had an estimated 25-30 (??!! How about thousands per day since 2000) illegal aliens enter the United States and these camps were not used for “rounding up the mass exodus” of illegal aliens, nor, is this article suggesting that is what should have happened. 

Today, we have untold numbers crossing through the border. Estimates range from the government that there are merely 60,000 unaccompanied minors coming into the United States. Other observers believe that as many as 4 million may have illegally crossed the border since the beginning of this year. Regardless, the stable of 800 existing FEMA camps remain untouched.

NEWSFLASH: There Has Been a “Mass Exodus”

There has been a “mass exodus” of illegal aliens (who) have crossed the Mexican/US border. Why are they not being rounded up and detained in detention centers maintained by FEMA as established in REX 84 and reported in the news release in the Miami Herald? Instead, we are housing this mass exodus of illegal aliens in abandoned schools and buildings, warehouses, hotels and most interestingly, in make-shift prisons which can be hastily constructed.

These are not typical FEMA camps as pictured here at Lindberg Field in San Diego. These are hastily built shelters which are described in a KBR memo from a few years ago. in 2011. These FEMA camp detention centers differ greatly from your classic FEMA Camp.

I previously wrote an article in response to the intention of Congress to permit the military to indefinitely detain, without due process protections, American citizens for any reason, or for no reason whatsoever under the NDAA. In the previous article, I referenced the leaked memo from KBR manager, Bob Siefert, which was informing subcontractors to be prepared within 72 hours of notification to provide essential services to FEMA camps such as the installation of barbwire, blockades, personnel, food, water and sanitation services. 

Below are some key provisions which are part of the impetus for activating the FEMA camps which are contained in the Siefert KBR memo.

“The Continental US will be broken up into five regions as indicated in the map below Services” will be required in each State within each region.” (Author’s note) Interestingly, the South was also broken up into five military districts during the military occupation of the South during the Reconstruction Era following the Civil War.

“(Contractors will) Establish services listed below within 72 hours for initial set-up and respond within 24 hours for incremental services. This is a CONTINGENCY PROJECT and it should be stressed that lead times will be short with critical requirements due to the nature of emergency responses. Subcontractors must be flexible and able to handle multiple, shifting priorities in an emergency environment.”

Additionally, the Siefert memo disturbingly calls for the installation of fencing and wire used for large scale detention of prisoners.

 

“Subcontractors will mobilize, transport, erect, install and demobilize temporary fencing, barricades, and associated equipment according to federal, state and local laws, codes and manufacturer installation instructions. The Subcontractor shall be able to mobilize and deploy key personnel(s) within four (4) hours of NTP to meet with KBR Site Manager at the Responder Support Camp (RSC) site in order to finalize the site design plan and acquire site specific design requirements and layout. Number of linear footage:

“Approximately 2,300LF for a 301 person camp after 36 hours of NTP”

“Approximately 3,600LF for 1,000 person camp after 72 hours of NTP”

The above timetables requested in responding to some unspecified crisis as well as fencing specifications listed above, is exactly what we are seeing in the construction of temporary FEMA detention centers in the above picture at Lindberg Field in San Diego and in several other locations around the Southwest.

Arriving in waves every 72-96 hours.

The Seifert memo is significant because it demonstrates a number of facts being ignored in the mainstream media. First, the “sudden and surprising” immigration crisis is one in which this administration had been planning for this event since at least 2011. 

The present KBR facilities being used to detain illegal aliens are only needed to be temporary because these immigrants, according to Border Patrol sources, are being brought for time frames averaging 72-96 hours. The immigrants are 'processed' and sent to “other” locations, and then the next group arrives. (Hint of Hitler's death camps for both 'illegals' AND Americans?)

The FEMA camps for illegal aliens are smaller and not as well staffed as the ones reserved for Americans. However, do not feel sorry for them.  They get to shop at Walmart courtesy of your tax dollars. By the way, there are no kids here, just adult males.

Nobody is suggesting that these people should not be fed.  They should, as they are human beings. The point is to expose the lies of the Obama administration in terms of the age composition of these immigrants. My Border Patrol source estimates that only 10% of illegal immigrants are unaccompanied minors.

No Worries, You As An American Citizen Will Not Lose Your Future Reservations

The FEMA detention facilities we are seeing utilized today do not match what we know about FEMA camp facilities. The present detention centers are the creation of the product described in the Seifert Memo.  Our FEMA camps, the ones for American citizens are described below:

“The (FEMA) camps all have railroad facilities as well as roads leading to and from the detention facilities. Many also have an airport nearby. The majority of the camps can house a population of 20,000 prisoners.

Currently, the largest of these facilities is just outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. The Alaskan facility is a massive mental health facility and can hold thousands of  people”.

Your soon to be new accommodations are described in this PDF attachment, published by the Army (FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement Operations (PDF)   This is what an American FEMA camp looks like.



Whether you know it or not, your future reservations remain untouched by the present crisis. Soon it will be time to go on the vacation of your life. And this is how you will get there.

A Riddle

The United States military has the bulk of its fighting force in Afghanistan. Unknown to most Americans is the fact that there has been a mammoth and ongoing war game taking place off of nearly every inch of the three coastlines surrounding the United States. This has required a significant redeployment of Naval, Marine and Air Force assets to be in a constant state of military readiness.  

The conscious act of keeping most of our military deployed outside of the continental United States is significant. It relates to the present crisis as a big domino that is ready to fall and it speaks to how soon all us will get to visit our new homes.

Take a look at this map. It was originally published by the Navy in an AFAST document. These war games are so huge it has drawn the ire of the Congressional delegations of California, Oregon and Washington. I will be presenting this information in a future article and it ties in with what’s happening today as well as what lies ahead.  Please allow me to present this as a riddle. Any guesses as to why this is taking place?

The rectangles represent active war game zones. In U.S. military history, this massive of a war game is unprecedented both in length and scope.

11th-hour 'rule change' totally bypasses Congress

 Obama launches 'secret' new immigration scheme                                                       11th-hour 'rule change' totally bypasses Congress

 

Dec 2 2016

Leo Hohmann

Asylum seekers such as these could apply for suspension of deportation and receive a work permit under Obama’s proposed new rules, which bypass Congress entirely.

In the final hours of 2015 the Obama administration has quietly proposed a host of rule changes that critics say will end up being a bonanza for foreign students and illegal immigrants seeking work in the U.S. while putting a dagger in the hearts of thousands of American workers.

The rules, as proposed by Obama’s Department of Homeland Security, make it easier for employers to hire and retain foreign workers who have not yet received their green cards or “lawful protected resident” status.

The U.S. already hands out approximately 1 million green cards per year, but under the proposed changes those foreigners who apply unsuccessfully for a green card can enter the workforce with a temporary work permit.

The proposed changes, all 181 pages of them, showed up in the Federal Register on New Year’s Eve. They would ease regulations that govern the way work permits are handed out to foreign nationals, including some who enter the U.S. illegally or who come on visas that would not allow them to work.

One of the most pernicious of these new rules, according to immigration-watchdog groups, is the treatment of illegal immigrants who enter the U.S. seeking asylum.

Buried on Page 113 of the document is a provision that says, “Aliens who have properly filed applications for asylum or withholding of deportation or removal” will automatically be eligible to receive a work permit.

Anyone in the U.S. illegally who has filed an application for a suspension of deportation would be allowed to work legally under these new rules.

“Someone could just show up at the border, file for asylum, and get a work permit – without even having to meet asylum criteria,” said one congressional aide on Capitol Hill.

Another change buried in the document is a proposal to provide work permits to spouses and children of the foreign workers.

Many of the changes would apply to work permits issued to foreign college-graduates who will compete against Americans primarily for white-collar positions. The new rules, which completely bypass Congress, will make foreign graduates cheaper for U.S. employers to hire than many U.S.-born college grads.

One of the more controversial aspects of the rule changes is a proposed automatic renewal of the work permit for 15 categories of foreign nationals. Several of the categories who would benefit from the automatic renewals include persons who entered the U.S. illegally while others may have come legally as a refugee, asylum seeker or one of the myriad temporary visa programs but have not yet received a green card.

The new rules would vastly increase the number of “employment authorization documents,” commonly referred to as a “work permit,” issued to foreign nationals each year.

The EAD, or “work permit,” allows a foreign national to work in the United States on a temporary basis, typically for two years although the time-frame can vary, and should not be confused with the more permanent “green card.”

It’s unclear how many foreign nationals would be allowed to stay in the country every year under these new rules who otherwise would be forced to leave, but it could run into the tens of thousands, according to critics.

“It’s theoretically not limited except by the number of applications,” said the congressional aide. “Think of it this way: the Obama administration can approve an unlimited number of green card applications, knowing they are in excess of the cap and going into the ‘backlog’ ‎and then they can give everyone EADs, creating a kind of parallel immigration program.”

And here’s the kicker. The administration has already, since 2009, been granting work permits to people who have merely “applied” for asylum, according to research and reports from Jessica Vaughan at the Center for Immigration Studies. This extends that policy, and formalizes it.

“Because neither lawful permanent residents (green card holders) nor temporary work visa holders need a work permit, this amounts to a huge parallel immigrant work authorization system outside the numerical limits and categories set by Congress,” Vaughan writes. “The huge number of work permits being issued above and beyond these limits inevitably reduces opportunities for U.S. workers, damages the integrity of the immigration system, and encourages illegal immigration.”

Approximately 2.1 million work permits were issued to aliens with temporary visas or who entered under the Visa Waiver Program between 2009 and the end of 2014. 

Of these, about 1.4 million (66 percent) had a visa status for which employment is generally prohibited under the law, except in what are supposed to be rare cases, Vaughan reports. For example, more than 548,000 work permits were issued to aliens on tourist visas and 593,000 were issued to foreign students. More than 213,000 were issued to dependents of students and guest workers — all categories in which the law prohibits employment except in rare circumstances.”

The Hill aide said the rule changes amount to semantical chicanery.  “Ask yourself: Why would an asylum ‘applicant’ need a new work permit? How long are they going to be allowed to live and work here before they have even been approved?” he said. “And, if rejected, they will obviously never leave. These are eligibility criteria invented by the administration.”  And all of these inventions showed up in the Federal Register while Congress is away from Washington for the holidays.

There is also a national security aspect to the changes not lost on some observers.

William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration, or ALIPAC, said most of these asylum seekers and college grads given work permits will not be properly screened and the result will be chaos.

“Obama and his socialist billionaire backers like George Soros want to attract and import as many people into America as possible before the end of his term to secure their long-range plans to overthrow the American republic from within,” Gheen told WND. “They want more people with views that are foreign to American principles and our Constitution that are also dependent upon the corrupt federal government for their presence and livelihood here. Obama can do these things because Ryan and his 150 RINOs in Congress are funding, protecting, and facilitating Obama’s betrayals of the Constitution and our citizens.”

The purpose of the changes, as stated by Obama’s DHS, is “to provide additional stability and flexibility to employers and workers” who benefit from the employment-based visa programs by “improving job portability” for foreign workers.
