Bunkerville, NEVADA, April 14, 2014– As reported yesterday, hundreds of federal agents are still at the Bundy Ranch and the area continues its status as a no-fly zone. Despite major media reports that the Nevada Bureau of Land Management is retreating, the remaining activity that still surrounds the ranch illustrates a different scenario.
Not only is the BLM not actually backing off of Cliven Bundy, Sheriff Richard Mack of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association has revealed stunning information: on Ben Swann’s radio program, Mack said that he has received intelligence from multiple, credible sources inside the BLM and the Las Vegas Metro that there is “no question” that the federal government is planning a raid on the Bundy home and the homes of their children who live on the property.
According to Mack, the so-called retreat was nothing more than theatrics. “It was a ploy to get people to back off, to get people out of the way. They weren’t expecting us to get this amount of people here. They were surprised by the numbers and so they wanted a way to get us out of here. This was a ploy to get us out of here and then they’re going after the Bundys.”  Mack said that when he was at the Bundy ranch on Saturday there were an estimated 600 to 800 protesters present when federal agents were releasing the cattle.

“If they do that kind of raid, I don’t believe there’s any way that could happen without bloodshed,” Mack told Swann.
Mack spoke about the tactic that protesters could use by putting women at the front of the line facing the federal agents to make them think carefully before opening fire.

“I would’ve gone next. I would’ve been the next one to be killed. I’m not afraid to die here. I’m willing to die here,” said Mack.

Roy Pottter: The Real Story, Bundy Ranch Breakdown: ALERT Sheriff Gillespie Seeks Slaughter



"I am putting this up WAY out of chronological order because of its importance. LVPD Sheriff Gillespie said that the BLM would pull out and release the cattle back to Mr. Bundy within an hour of his (Gillespie's) speech to the crowd. It did not happen as he promised. Worse, an MRAD and a LVPD SWAT team were only one exit away. Why? After the discovery of the MRAP and the SWAT Team, Gillespie claimed they were to keep the peace. But, if the cattle were released according to the promise of Gillespie, no need to "keep the peace" would have existed. Therefore, Brand and I conclude that a more sinister and deadly trap was being set to end the lives of many people, especially BLM officers, and to use the massacre as an excuse to implement far more stringent and tyrannical controls over the American People. Gillespie sits on the board of the despicable Southern Poverty Law Center and the DHS. This was a highly sophisticated manipulation to kill as many as possible and blame it on the liberty/conservative movement."

The Army terminated its psychological testing contract at Fort Hood, Texas, only seven months before Spc. Ivan Lopez’s eight-minute shooting rampage that left Lopez and three other soldiers dead and 16 more wounded on April 2, WND has learned.
Instead, Fort Hood – one of the largest military installations in the world and the primary hub for deploying U.S. soldiers overseas – has been using free tests it finds on the Internet to evaluate soldiers’ psychological health and only employs a single neuropsychologist to treat up to 500 soldiers a month.
And while the post’s traumatic brain injury clinic has a brand-new hot tub in storage, it receives little money to test soldiers for psychological trauma.

The Army terminated its psychological testing contract at Fort Hood, Texas, only seven months before Spc. Ivan Lopez’s eight-minute shooting rampage that left Lopez and three other soldiers dead and 16 more wounded on April 2, WND has learned.
Instead, Fort Hood – one of the largest military installations in the world and the primary hub for deploying U.S. soldiers overseas – has been using free tests it finds on the Internet to evaluate soldiers’ psychological health and only employs a single neuropsychologist to treat up to 500 soldiers a month.
And while the post’s traumatic brain injury clinic has a brand-new hot tub in storage, it receives little money to test soldiers for psychological trauma.
The senior neuropsychologist in charge of Fort Hood’s outpatient psychiatry clinic – who resigned from his position only two months ago – tells WND the post has insufficient resources to treat soldiers seeking psychological help, including:
  • Inferior testing and evaluation procedures,
  • Lack of adequate funding for clinic services,
  • Senior mental health professionals forced into retirement by the Army,
  • Months-long wait times for soldiers seeking evaluation and treatment for psychological conditions,
  • Only one trained clinical neuropsychologist for more than 50,000 soldiers
Lopez, who had been assigned to Fort Hood in February, was in treatment for anxiety and depression, among other health problems, and was being evaluated for post-traumatic stress disorder, Army officials said. Lopez claimed to have suffered a traumatic brain injury while he was deployed to Iraq from August to December 2011.

Bad Moon Rising in Nevada at the Bundy Ranch


"The assault upon the American experiment may have already gone too far to be resolved by peaceful means. Our nation's Founders pointed muskets and placed improvised explosive ordnance in defense of their God-given Liberty. Harsh actions to even consider: They killed people--sometimes coating supporters of the enemy in tar and feathers and setting them afire.

Were they murderers? No they were not. It is right and just for a free people to wage just war against any and all who would strip them of their God-given Liberty, and to destroy that enemy whether in uniform or in civilian attire.

Our nation's Founders understood this. Horrible to consider that the time may soon come where American Patriots may once again arrive at a point in history where they will have no choice but to fight for to defend their God-given Liberty.

Patrick Henry is famous for his words, 'Give me Liberty or give me death!'

I will not go into what exactly we did or planned tactically at the Bundy Ranch or plans we may or may not have if the Federal government returns to the ranch, but I will tell you that we will stand with the Bundy family and defend them under Constitutional Authority.

Are there any Americans today who would put their lives, and treasure on the line for their Liberty? Honestly, I think not enough at this time, and we had better work fast to educate people because IMO time is running very short. Our enemy is here and he's/she's occupying every party of our government like it or not.

Very shortly after arriving at the Bundy Ranch it was brought to my attention that Harry Reids son had interest in the area and I mentioned it in some of my previous posts, and you are all now hearing various reports that point to him and his daddy as possible reasons of why what is happening is happening there presently, but IMO there is much more going on than just the land grab, and I will go into that in a moment.

First I want you to understand exactly what we are talking about, We are talking about desert land--land that the average person when driving through with their air conditioning blowing full blast would not stop at unless forced to. Over 120 years ago however Mr. Bundy's family not only decided to stop in this area but when they pulled into the area via wagon train decided to work the land and become beef producers which is what the newer generation of Bundy's still do today, NOTE: for those of you who may be unaware this land is not owned by the federal government but rather the State of Nevada, and Mr. Bundy HAS offered to pay grazing fees to but they declined payment.

I have said all along that Obama is most likely going make some kind of move and create problems before the midterms because he's aware that if Conservatives take both houses he will stand a very good chance of being not only impeached, but he could (and should) face criminal charges including but not limited to treason..etc.
If I am correct in my assessment the next step in their plans will be to try to spread us Patriots thin using MANY fronts and we need to keep this in mind as we move forward. What I mean by this is watch out for several issues to start around the same time in different areas of the country in an effort to not allow all of us to converge on one certain area.

If we stay focused on DC however then their plans will fail if this indeed becomes the case, and we need to act against an all out tyrannical government.
 
It is not illegal for Americans to prepare for war in the event that a tyrannical government attacks us or tries to take over our country, and that is exactly what we plan to do." (PaineAviation)

Chief Brooks' Latest Performance - Final‏

CHIEF BROOKS' LATEST PERFORMANCE – FINAL



Lisbon Police Chief Brooks

During last Tuesday night’s Town Council workshop, Chief Brooks presented his 2015 budget proposal to the Council.  Attached are the slides that were presented; and as you can see the total is $1,366,120.00 yes that is right over 1.3 MILLION tax dollars.


Is there any doubt that our taxes are going up again this year?  Keep in mind; this is without the bonds for the Public Works garage, gym or track.  A wise councilor once said that Chief Brooks has been sodomizing the taxpayers of Lisbon for years.  A review of Chief Brooks’ priorities and his spending habits confirm this councilor’s statement.

Chief Brooks has been abusing his position by wasting taxpayers’ money for years.  Now, I understand that there are a few of you that support Chief Brooks over the years but given the facts, do you still support Chief Brooks?  He has been in this community for many years and has cost the taxpayers an enormous amount of tax dollars.  Even though he has done some good for this community, the cost is too high.  The town cannot afford this frivolous spending by Chief Brooks. 

Without any bonds, our taxes are going to skyrocket again this year because of the Police Department budget.  The people need to put a stop to all this waste, fraud and abuse by Chief Brooks.


Larry Fillmore

Chief Brooks' Latest Performance - Part III‏

CHIEF BROOKS LATEST PERFORMANCE – PART III


During Chief Brooks’ performance in which he presented to the Council his budget this year, he is asking the taxpayers to foot the bill for a Voter Radio System and eleven (11) mobile radios at a combined cost of $61,000.00.

This is extremely weird because if you remember correctly Chief Galipeau received a grant in January 11, 2011 for $14,690.00 for the following:
  1. A Repeater Station (SHSP)
  2. Two Control Stations
  3. Batteries
  4. Program/Install Radios
  5. Re-program Existing Radios
  6. TIA Compliant Tower System

Remember, the town installed a tower up on Route 9 because it was the highest point in the town.  This enabled the Police/Fire Departments to have communications throughout the town.  Chief Galipeau’s grant covered both Fire and Police. 

Now this bedroom community of Lisbon has all of this communications equipment and a communication center and they are unable to communicate.  If a Police Officer has all these radios, how is he going to hold his assault rifle?  It is totally ridiculous for Chief Brooks to force the taxpayers to spend $61,000.00 for more communications equipment.  Chief Brooks wants eleven (11) radios for whom?; according to him there are only one or two police officers on duty at any given time.  So where are the other nine radios going? Everyone today has a cell phone to communicate with.  

So exactly what is the purpose of the Communication Center?  If the Communication Center cannot communicate with the Police and Fire Department why are we paying $500,000.00 annual for it?  Think about how large Lisbon is and how relatively structure free, and then tell me again why we need to spend $61,000.00 of our tax dollars for the purchase of more radios to communicate with. 
 
Someone needs to remind Chief Brooks that this is not Detroit.
 
Let’s see if I can recap, our officers whether Police or Fire have cell phones, at least one mobile phone, vehicle radios, and a communication center.  Next, tell me again why Chief Brooks needs $61,000.00 of my tax dollars for yet another means to communicate with the town officers?

More fraud, waste and abuse of our tax dollars!


More to come!

Dear Lisbon Reporter and NaturalNews readers,
We have extraordinary news for you today:
The feds (BLM) have surrendered to We the People over the Bundy Ranch standoff in Nevada. Just hours ago, the feds announced a full retreat as a band of citizens stood against them in protest of federally-engineered cattle theft and an armed siege of an innocent rancher:

CHIEF BROOKS' :::: > LATEST PERFORMANCE PART II

CHIEF BROOKS LATEST PERFORMANCE – PART II

During last Tuesday’s night Town Council Workshop, Chief Brooks provided the council will a lot of misinformation.  He was talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time.  During this article, I will try and explain how Chief Brooks can double-talk. 

Chief Brooks stated in October 1, 2013

when he was explaining the Federal Forfeiture Funds and what can be purchased using these funds.   He also stated that he would be using these funds for the purchase of vehicles.  Well, Tuesday night Chief Brooks stated he wanted the taxpayers to pay for the purchase of two cruisers and one Animal Control Officer truck.   However, he has added a twist this year by recommending all items on the 2015 Capital Improvement Plan be leased instead of purchasing outright.  Leasing cost the taxpayers additional funds! 

Councilor Garrison asked Chief Brooks if Unit 3 was the cruiser the town replaced the motor last year and Chief Brooks said YES in a very weak voice.  I always thought that once you replace a motor it would extend the life of the vehicle.  So what is the rush to replace this vehicle? 

Up until this year, Chief Brooks always comes into the council with a quote to purchase the vehicles.  Last year, he needed $48,816.00 for the purchase of two 2014 Ford Utility vehicles.  The Council approved the $48,816.00 for the “purchase “of two vehicles.

However, Chief Brooks and Mrs. Maloy, Finance Director, converted the approved purchase to a Lease to Purchase.  The Lease to Purchase cost the taxpayers $15,331.21 and the remaining $33,484.79 went somewhere else.  However, once this money was appropriated by the Council it cannot be spent unless the money is re-appropriated by the Council which was never done.  So this $33,484.79 was misappropriated by either Chief Brooks or Mrs. Maloy.  This is the reason our taxes continue to go up every year.  Leasing adds additional cost for each of these items to the taxpayers.  More BS from Chief Brooks! 

Chief Brooks stated that the reason he wanted to Lease to Purchase the vehicles is to establish a routine to replace these vehicles on a yearly basis.  This is the same line of crap he has been giving the Council every year for the last four or more years.  Establishing a Life Cycle Management takes about fifteen minutes to complete and Chief Brooks cannot accomplish this in four/five years. 

Chief Brook continues to double-talk the Council by asking the Council to spend taxpayers’ dollars instead of using the Federal Forfeiture Funds.  Each and every one of the items on the 2015 Capital Improvement Plan qualifies for purchasing under the Federal Forfeiture Fund program.  Chief Brooks acknowledged these items fall within the programs but did not explain why he has not purchased anything off the list since October 1, 2013.  Of course, Chief Brooks’ priority has been assault rifles, GPS Bundle and toys for the K9 Officer.  There is approximately $44,282.04 left in the Federal Forfeiture Funds which could be spent to cover some of the items on the 2015 Capital Improvement Plan.

Talk about fraud, waste and abuse by Chief Brooks.  Why doesn’t the Council put a stop to this frivolous spending?

More to come!

Larry Fillmore

CHIEF BROOKS’S LATEST PERFORMANCE! PART 1

CHIEF BROOKS’S LATEST PERFORMANCE!
PART 1
In September 2013, Chief Brooks received $71,750.78 in Federal Forfeiture Funds.  These funds could only be used by the Lisbon Police Department.  As of March 11, 2014, Chief Brooks had spent $27,468.74 on such things as:

1.   Three (3) 16M4A4 Telestk MPC assault rifles.  What possible use is there for assault rifles in Lisbon?  The loudest noises here are people snoring too loud.  Contrary to what Chief Brooks says Lisbon is not Detroit.


2. A GPS bundle.  What possible need is there for a GPS in Lisbon?  If we have a member of the Police Department who cannot find his way to work or how to find his way back home then I suggest that person maybe over qualified for the Police Department.  Get serious, a GPS to find your way around Lisbon.


3.Finally, plastic balls, ball launcher and bed for the K9 officer.  These maybe items used in the training of our K9 officer but these items should be part of the operating cost and not Federal Forfeiture Funds.

This is the priority that Chief Brooks decided to put ahead of the items on the 2015 Capital Improvements Plan.  

The items on the 2015 Capital Improvement Plan are listed below:
Animal Control Truck                $24,000.00
    Mobil Radios (11)                    33,000.00
    Voter Radio System                  28,000.00
    Document Imaging Unit           14,000.00

Chief Brooks put on an excellent performance when he justified the purchase of the Document Imaging Unit.  I personally believe that this is a necessity and should have been purchased before the assault rifles, GPS or doggie toys.  Chief Brooks continues to stick it to the taxpayers’ year in and year out.  The big ticket items are always purchased by the people instead of any Forfeiture Funds the town receives. 

Chief Brooks could have purchased two or three of the items from the list above in September but instead he spent some of the forfeiture funds on “Toys for the Boys” and screwed the taxpayers.  Well, he has approximately $44,282.04 remaining from the Federal Forfeiture Funds and should immediately purchase the Document Imaging Unit and the Animal Control Truck which the combined cost is approximately $38,000.00 dollars.  This will save the taxpayers some tax dollars.

Chief Brooks’ proposal the other night was to LEASE these items and have the taxpayers pay for the items over years.  If we have the money we should always purchase the items.  Leasing cost the taxpayers more in the long run.

Why should the taxpayers have to suffer because Chief Brooks cannot get his priorities straight?

 
More to come!

Tell Congress NO ONE, NOT Russia or China should control the Internet



  UPDATE: Conservatives in Congress have introduced the DOTCOM Act to stop Barack Obama from giving away your Internet to the United Nations and despotic regimes around the world.

       Time is short. We need the House and the Senate to pass this legislation A.S.A.P. and force Barack Obama to either sign it or explain to the American people why some international body like the United Nations and the tyrants and despots of the world need to regulate - and later tax - your access to the Internet.

       Make no mistake, the "bad boys" of the world will start to regulate your online activities - in short order they'll eventually tax your Internet as well - and we must draw a line in the sand and stop this international Internet takeover now.

A "Global Multistakeholder Community"?

       Barack Obama isn't going to just hand control of YOUR Internet over to the United Nations; instead, he's handing it over to unnamed members of a so-called "global multistakeholder community."

       And "global multistakeholder community" is not some term we made up, or one that is being spouted about by conspiracy theorists. It comes directly from Barack Obama's Commerce Department, which announced in a press release on March 14 that they will "transition key Internet domain name functions to the global multistakeholder community."

       And while the members of this "global multistakeholder community" are as of yet unnamed, we do know that some of the bodies involved in the planning over just who has ultimate control are, in fact, two agencies within the United Nations and a number of regimes that despise freedom such as Vladmir Putin's Russia and China.

       The Wall Street Journal got to the crux of what is happening: "Russia, China and other authoritarian governments have already been working to redesign the Internet more to their liking, and now they will no doubt leap to fill the power vacuum caused by America's unilateral retreat."

       The Journal adds: "In the past few years, Russia and China have used a [United Nations] agency called the International Telecommunication Union [ITU] to challenge the open Internet. ... They want the ITU to outlaw anonymity on the Web (to make identifying dissidents easier)... The unspoken aim is to discourage global Internet companies from giving everyone equal access."

       And what's the big deal about "equal access"?

       National Review Online quotes Daniel Castro with the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation: "We may be concerned about the lack of free communication in other countries, but we don't have to sweat about those countries' governments shutting off our access here. And yet, having grown cocky in its maturity, the U.S. government is now considering inviting those countries' censors to the table and giving them a vote on how to fix a problem that never was. Why?"

       Why indeed... but now that Congress is moving to stop this international attempt to squelch your freedom and your liberty, we must move to make sure that this legislation is passed as soon as humanly possible.

Oh Yes... Your Free and Open Access To The Internet Is An "Existential Threat."

       And just in case the dangers posed by what Mr. Obama is doing aren't clear, consider the fact that even one of Obama's former aides, Andrew McLaughlin, said that the ITU is "the chosen vehicle for regimes for whom the free and open Internet is seen as an existential threat."

       The ITU has a major seat at the table and you can be sure that when the dust settles, after Obama gives away your Internet to the thugs and tyrants of the world, that the ITU will be a major player.

       Also consider what Esther Dyson, one of the founders of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers [ICANN] - the private corporation that manages the vital system that ensures all devices on the Internet can communicate with one another - recently said:

       "In the end, I'd rather pay a spurious tax to people who want my money than see [ICANN] controlled by entities who want my silence."

       Only Congress has the authority to stop this lunacy and madness and we must demand that it stop this lunacy right now.

And Just In Case The Dangers Still Aren't Registering...

       National Review's Charles C. W. Cooke puts the dangers in greater perspective:

       "As it stands, a tyrant is able to restrict access to certain parts of the Internet in his own country, but he is unable to make a page or a server or a service disappear completely. To wit, if I write something nice about Taiwan on NRO, the Chinese government can restrict access to that page in any territory that it controls - in the name of 'national security' or what you will. But it can't delete NRO entirely; nor can it restrict access to our servers from outside its jurisdiction."

       If Barack Obama and the tyrants and thugs of the world get their way, that's all going to change.

       If you believe the NSA and other agencies within the United States government having access to what you do on the Internet is a threat to liberty, just wait until the United Nations, Vladmir Putin and China get into the act.

       And it's happening right now because Barack Obama is giving away your Internet freedom and liberty to the thugs and bad-boys of the world on a silver platter... in exchange for nothing.

       Cooke adds: "'The United Nations has been angling quietly to become the epicenter of Internet governance,' warned Mary Bono Mack, a Republican from California... 'We cannot let this happen,' she vowed gravely. Just a year later, we are. Yesterday, the United States found itself in an advantageous and virtuous position: the benign steward of an astonishing network that it developed, refined, and then gave to the world without caveat. Today, provoked and shamed into action by actors who have neither the moral nor legal claim to its work, it is on the cusp of giving up control. An unforced error. For shame."

       But what Barack Obama is doing isn't just "shameful," it's tyrannical. To quote an article from Net Right Daily, "it is up to Congress to reassert its power to regulate in this area - before Obama gives away the Internet to the international community, at the expense of future generations' vital freedom of expression."

       It's up to Congress to stop Obama... but it's up to you to force Congress to do what must be done and the time to force Congress to do what must be done is now.
