Utah Sheriff to BLM: “I will Deputize Every Man, Woman and Child” to Stop Federal Agents" TIM BROWN — MARCH 24, 2016
A Utah sheriff has put out the word that he will not allow his county to be overrun by the unconstitutional Bureau of Land Management and the US Forest Service, and has gone so far as to warn the BLM that he will "deputize everyone and arrest all federal agents" should they enter his county in a similar manner to that of those in Nevada and Oregon.
Sheriff Marty Gleave has been serving the county he is in as sheriff for nearly 25 years. According to Gleave, all he has seen is that things "get progressively worse and worse and worse with the so-called land police."
Gleave serves Piute County, which is the second smallest county by population in Utah. However, following the protests in Oregon, the arrests of many protesters at Bundy Ranch, including Cliven Bundy and the murder of LaVoy Finicum, Gleave addressed the Rural Caucus of the Utah State legislature on February 12, 2016.
At the center of a conflict in dispute between Sheriff Gleave and the US Forest Service is Gleave's uncle Stanton Gleave, a longtime rancher in the county.
"You know, we've got FBI, DEA, ATF and ICE," Sheriff Gleave said. "We've always been able to work with them people because they would only come and do major felony cases and different things like that. So, they were always out of the way until we needed them."
However, he then singled out the BLM for what they have been involved in.
"We've got a Bureau of Land Management police and Forest Service police who are out doing the same exact jobs that my deputies can do and every other deputy sheriff and sheriff can do," Gleave added.
Sheriff Gleave went on to elaborate about some of those things that could be handled by the sheriffs and their deputies. Even though I disagree that those things should not be handled by any sheriff, police or federal agent, I'll leave that aside not to distract from his point.
Gleave referred to the feds, particularly the Forest Service and BLM, as "mismanagement" of their pretended authority. Take a listen to some of the many examples that Sheriff Gleave presents that the feds have caused problems for the wildlife and for the people, then failed to follow up on.
The Utah Sheriff also made a point in the video that men can abuse their authority and used himself as an example to demonstrate that if he wanted to abuse the authority entrusted to him by the people, he could have people in jail every day. However, he knows that would be wrong and lawless.
Gleave said that he was not a fan of the militia showing up in his county because he had a militia, the people. The sheriff even pointed them out. Good for him, and good for them!
"We're not taking no more cuts on the Mountain. I'll deputize every man, woman and child in the county to stop what's going on," Sheriff Gleave concluded.
Friends, this is what is needed, constitutional sheriffs. Furthermore, presidential candidates don't just need to be held to the status quo. They need to be asked if they will seek the dismantling of the unconstitutional agencies like the BLM, the Forest Service, the ATF, the DEA, the Department of Education and Homeland Security. The heads of these organizations don't answer to the people. They are appointed bureaucrats who infringe on the rights of the people and violate the US Constitution.
Until we are ready to eliminate and decentralize the Beast, we don't need to complain about it. The Beast has shed its chains and has showed us its true form. The People must either restrain it, which is unlikely, or kill it. There is no other solution.

This video points out that the GOP was involved with the negotiations and trying to get the occupation solved in a peaceful way.. This does not look good for the evil ones for sure. This trial involving the Bundy`s will probably end in a bad way for many involved with the BLM. ....

Federal Land Grabs Violate Basic Rights Center for Self Governance (CSG) Administrative Team — April 2, 2016

Time and time again, the Federal government has breached its promises with respect to the public lands.  Western states are moving to compel the Federal government to honor the same promise it made and kept with all states east of Colorado: to timely dispose of the public lands so they can be managed by those whose lives and livelihoods depend upon the wide management of those lands."  - American Lands Council

When the western states were asked to join the union, they each agreed to sign a compact with the federal government much as the eastern states had done.  The federal government – had turned over lands to the eastern states as they became established, to control and develop their resources for the benefit of those states, in compliance with the compact signed by both parties.

However, the western compacts were not treated the same as the east's legal, binding contracts. The federal government did not want to release claim to the rich resources held in the west, such as timber, mining, and minerals.  There was a "gold rush" going on at the time, and the federal government wanted in on it, so it defaulted on the agreement with the western states.

Excessive federal control and regulation eventually stripped the western states of their right to graze cattle, to mine, and to generate a tax base from their natural resources as the eastern states do. The west had watched the fed's malfeasance and mismanagement of forests, rivers and mining for decades. This created an ongoing feud called the "Sagebrush Rebellion."

In 1828, the states of Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida repeatedly complained to Congress. The Enabling Act for those states had not been honored. The Act required the federal government to "extinguish title" to the states' public lands.  Eventually, the persistence of the eastern states upheld their inherent right to harvest and profit from the resources of their own land.

Anger erupted when westerners were denied equal access to their land's abundance. Historically, the most active and vocal groups on this issue in the west have been the small cattlemen. They fought for years against the "absentee landlord system" which made them tenants of the federal government on land rightfully belonging to the states and to the people. What galled westerners above all else was the belief that the kinds of restrictions placed on them had NEVER been placed on the east.

Events and tempers gradually escalated over the years, when in 1979, President Jimmy Carter's "War on the West" inflamed a second "Sagebrush Rebellion." This time, overwhelming grassroots support for the rights of the people and the states quickly sprung up across the west.  

Using the Antiquities Act, President Carter locked up more land than any other president before him, taking more than 50 million acres in Alaska alone, despite strong opposition from the state.  Later, President Clinton used the Antiquities Act 22 times to prohibit hunting, mining, forestry, oil production, and even grazing in 5.9 million acres scattered across the U.S. Using the loophole, he single-handedly created 19 new land-grabbing "national monuments" and expanded three others without consulting Congress or the states.

One of the monuments President Clinton targeted was the Grande Staircase-Escalante in Utah, where 135,000 acres of land had been leased for oil and gas and about 65,000 barrels of oil were produced each year from five active wells.  But President Clinton put an end to developing these vital resources, killing jobs and making Americans even more dependent on foreign countries for oil.

In an illegal move against the states in 1976, Congress passed the FLPMA, which stated that most National Forest Service and BLM land would NEVER be released to state or private control.  The bill was written under the assumption that the economic benefits would prove "too tempting to the locals" and environmental concerns would be ignored in favor of fast cash.  Yet the federal government's negligent land management program, leaving billions of standing dead trees, is what has fostered the monster forest fires that rage through the west each summer because of their so-called "environmental concerns".

Utah Representative Ken Ivory writes, "Right now, the forests - which were a renewable resource, with the revenue funding schools, roads and public safety - have been shut down to timber harvesting, and now they're basically tinder boxes.  We've got so much dead wood standing in the forests that, in fact, the FBI is even warning our state foresters that terrorists are encouraging wildfires as a form of jihad.  The forests are so dense now that the trees can't defend themselves and fend off natural diseases and pests, so forests throughout the West are largely dead or dying just waiting for any spark to ignite the next catastrophic wildfire…more than 50% of all land in the western United States is owned and controlled by the federal government.  This is in a nation that was founded on the principles of inherent, inalienable rights to life, liberty and property.  World-renowned economist John Kenneth Galbraith made the statement in the mid-1980s that 'where the socialized ownership of land is concerned, only the USSR and China can claim company with the United States'."

At this point, Federal holdings included nearly a third of Colorado, Montana, New Mexico and Washington; roughly half of Arizona, California, Oregon and Wyoming; and two-thirds or more of Alaska, Idaho, Nevada and Utah.  By comparison, the three non-Western states with the MOST federal land are New Hampshire (14%), Florida (13%), and Michigan (10%).  

Nationally, the United States government has direct ownership of almost 650 million acres of land – nearly 30% of its total territory.  

 

According to the Institute for Energy Research, there is more than $150 TRILLION dollars of mineral value and more oil than Saudi Arabia and the rest of the world combined, locked up in federally controlled lands. This unconstitutional control locks up jobs, economic growth and opportunity, not only in the west, but also throughout the entire nation.

As the anger and frustration continue to escalate over the theft of rights concerning land, water, mineral, and mining, the federal government remains unrelenting in its unlawful abuse of the people and the states that desperately need their own natural resources to survive.

Like pouring gasoline on a raging forest fire, our federal government has inadvertently called attention to this issue and has cultivated the climate to force more ranchers like the Bundys, Hammonds, and the Hages to defend their right to earn a living as they have for generations. What's at stake for all Americans are our inherent rights to life, liberty and property, without which, freedom cannot exist.
