It’s come to this.
Rioters who burn and destroy property and attack innocent civilians are dismissed as expressing free speech. But peaceful protesters, legally stationed on public land that was paid for with your tax dollars, whose only goal is to call attention to illegal government actions against them, are being called ‘terrorists’ and have even been murdered in cold blood while unarmed and not threatening a soul.
Please read what Tom DeWeese had to say about the situation.
Now, the federal government wants to charge 68 more patriots who may have arrived at the scene merely to show support, mediate for, or report on the situation.
Radio talk-show host Pete Santilli is being held for no other reason than he sought to expose the true situation at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge Gift Shop. When citizen journalists are being arrested, people upon whom we often depend for true accounts of stories without the usual media cover-ups and bias, our government is operating on a system that is no better than Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia.
From Natural News:
“Keep in mind that while Santilli has been charged with a “conspiracy,” the entire mainstream media tells us every single day that people who believe in conspiracies are loony whackos. Thus, according to the mainstream media’s own logic, conspiracies don’t exist which means the federal charges against Santilli are wholly fraudulent to begin with. Is the FBI now saying conspiracies are REAL? Somebody alert the New York Times… (BTW, the real conspiracy here is the BLM land grab and its attempt to take over valuable mining plots that can be leased to the Russians and other nations who pay kickbacks to powerful politicians, but that’s a REAL conspiracy which means the media isn’t interested in it…)
Nevertheless, the fact that he has now been arrested and charged with conspiracy is extremely worrisome to citizen journalists everywhere, especially given the news earlier this week that the Center for Medical Progress filmmakers who went undercover to ensnare Planned Parenthood were also charged with serious crimes. The pattern is unmistakable: Citizen journalists are being increasingly criminalized in America… but only when they are broadcasting content the government doesn’t like. I very much doubt Santilli actually “impeded” the feds in any way. More likely, he verbally berated them and gave them the finger (or similar actions along those lines).
The second point here is that, to my best knowledge, Santilli was serving as a very important citizen journalist from the point of view of the ranchers, constantly reminding the FBI that citizens were keeping an eye on them, too. He may have helped prevent this situation from worsening into a Waco-style slaughter by the feds.”
We recall the situation back in 2005 when in NH, unelected bureaucrats attempted to confiscate private property through legislation that would have relieved us the right to our own WATER WELLS. We stood firm and had the legislation not been defeated, you can bet we would have refused to pay any ‘fees’ that resulted or allow any public officials on our property to tamper with our wells.
We expressed this in THIS LETTER, in no uncertain terms, about why and how we would protect our wells.
Please keep in mind that the federal government has NO right under the US Constitution to own land.
