The Hidden Agenda in Oregon

By Tom DeWeese, 2/10/16

The stand-off in Burns, Oregon just ended. A couple of weeks ago, one of the protestors, rancher Lavoy Finicum, was shot nine times by federal agents as he attempted to travel to a public meeting to discuss their purpose. Two others, brothers Ammon and Ryan Bundy, were arrested and put in solitary confinement. 

The Main Stream Media has painted the occupiers as armed militia, even using terms like “unhinged.” These labels are untrue and unfair descriptions. The truth is this is a story with a long history of abuse by the federal government, leading to numerous confrontations with ranchers who have had their livelihood and homes destroyed. In the following article C.J. Hadley, Editor of Range Magazine, outlines the long sad, frustrating, tragic story of a growing government oppression over peaceful, law abiding American citizens who have simply had enough. TAD

THE HIDDEN AGENDA IN OREGON, The real story behind the headlines.

While America is tracking the events in Oregon involving the occupation of a federal facility and the unfortunate death of one of the protesters, major developments are being overlooked:

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) want the Hammond Ranch, according to the Spring edition of RANGE magazine, an award-winning publication that advocates commonsense solutions to problems facing people who live and work on the land. RANGE is a recipient of three consecutive Freedom of the Press awards.

Writing in “Up Front,” editor C.J. Hadley reveals: “The agencies have blocked the family’s stock waters and access roads to their high country grazing land, canceled their legal grazing permits, and seem determined to destroy ranch and family so that they can add that private land to the 187,000-acre Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. Besides being locked up [in federal prison] in California, the Hammonds had to pay $400,000 by Dec. 31, 2015, for destroying federal land and were forced to give first option on their ranch to the BLM—the agency working to destroy them.”

Up Front Spindled & Mutilated By C.J. Hadley Editor, Range Magazine

Hage. Gardner. Dann. Yowell. Colvin. Bundy. Tomera. Filippini. Borba. Hammond. Good ranchers all, cowboys and Indians who had private property rights on federal land in the American West. All have been abused by federal agents of the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service or the National Park Service. Some cattle have been taken at gunpoint, some ranch families have been destroyed, and the abuse was not earned.

The Hages—who have historic grazing preferences and property rights dating back to the 1860s in central Nevada—have been defending themselves against the government since 1979, and in court (Hage v. United States) since 1991. There have been major decisions in their favor.

Judge Loren A. Smith, of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C., ruled in 2010 that the government owed the Hages $14 million (including interest) under the “takings clause” of the 5th Amendment. Three members of the family have died since the case started and when it’s time to pay up, the Department of Justice brings out a new crop of highly paid lawyers to harass the Hages again. One Forest Service ranger said in the early ’90s: “Hage can’t win. We have more money and more lawyers.” Paid for by honest taxpayers! (Go to rangemagazine.com and click on Special Info/Hage at the bottom of the Home Page.)

In a recent trespass case brought by BLM and FS against the Hages, Federal District Court Judge Robert C. Jones ruled in favor of the family, noting that two agencies of the federal government entered into a “literal, intentional conspiracy to deprive the Hages not only of their permits but also their vested water rights. This behavior shocks the conscience of the Court.” DOJ appealed and the 9th Circuit overruled Judge Jones on Jan. 15, 2016. Next step: the Supreme Court.

But it isn’t just Hage. The Bundys in Bunkerville, Nev., were the last family standing after federal agents used the “endangered” desert tortoise to pressure 50 Clark County ranch families off their ranges. Cliven Bundy’s forebears had been running cattle on that southern desert since the 1800s and in 1991 he refused to sign a BLM grazing permit that would have destroyed his livelihood. Bundy was willing to pay fees but not commit ranch suicide. Sadly, BLM would not accept his fees without a signed permit and since that time BLM has euthanized excess desert tortoises.

But don’t forget the Hammonds in Oregon. Decades of relentless harassment by federal agents have put Dwight Hammond, 74, and son Steven, 46, in federal prison for five years each for “domestic terrorism.” Their crime? A controlled burn to improve the resource and a backburn to save their ranch and range from a lightning fire. While the Hammonds accidentally burned about 140 acres of public land in both fires and damaged nothing, federal agents burned millions of acres, destroyed homes, barns, fences and range, and killed livestock, horses and wildlife, with no reprimand or jail time.

BLM and FWS want the Hammond Ranch. The agencies have blocked the family’s stock waters and access roads to their high-country grazing land, canceled their legal grazing permits, and seem determined to destroy ranch and family so that they can add that private land to the 187,000-acre Malheur National Wildlife Refuge (see map). Besides being locked up in California, the Hammonds had to pay $400,000 by Dec. 31, 2015, for destroying federal land and were forced to give first option on their ranch to the BLM—the agency working to destroy them.

At press time, Bundy sons, Ammon and Ryan, with armed friends, were protesting the Hammonds’ sentence, holed up in the refuge visitor center “until the Hammonds are set free.” Meanwhile, President Obama has released 195,900 felons early (some guilty of homicide, rape and kidnapping) while two good ranchers are languishing in prison.

What in the world is going on? by Kathleen Marquardt

“Destroying America will be the culmination of my life’s work.” - George Soros

You keep thinking that things couldn’t get much worse, then they do. We get a break – EPA halts (temporarily) Obama’s EPA Climate Regulations – then we read about the Alphabet Soups, from BLM, HUD, EPA, USFS, are trampling on our rights with jackboots. One step forward, two steps back. That seems to be our lot in life right now. Appreciate it, at least we are getting one step right now, that isn’t going to last – can’t last unless we can free ourselves from the onerous rules, regulations, taxes, fees, requirements, Executive Orders, and on ad infinitum that have been being piled on us for decades.

At least George Soros is upfront about what he is working toward. That can’t be said about many in positions of power who are in lockstep with him. Start turning over the rocks and let the sun shine on – politicians who ‘earn $200k/year and in a short time are worth millions (yes, they may be telling their constituents they are working for them, but they are just helping redistribute our wealth to themselves along with their handlers); world leaders who do the same but on a far grander scale; NGOs that work as the useful idiots for these leaders; and our local leaders who pretend to be ‘one of us’ but when challenged about Agenda 21/2030 tell us, “Kathleen, get used to it. It’s coming and there’s nothing we can do to stop it, so get on board.”

Here’s our one step forward: Celebrate! U.S. Supreme Halts Obama EPA Climate Regs – Skeptics Pleased: ‘This is a major victory’

“This ruling is first and foremost a victory for science. Halting — even temporarily- the EPA regulations mean we no longer have to listen to Obama officials claiming the rules – which would not even impact global CO2 levels – would somehow lessen extreme storms.”


And two steps back:

International Chamber Of Commerce Pledged To Work With UN On 2030 Agenda Development Goals

“Both UNCTAD and ICC are strongly committed to implementing the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and can collaborate in a number of important areas such as trade facilitation, e-commerce, investment and competition law,” Dr. Kituyi said. “The private sector will play a significant role in fulfilling the implementation of the SDGs and we are very pleased to partner with ICC, being the largest representative business organization in the world.”


Victims of the Federal Bootprint

“America’s farmers and ranchers, the people who grow the food that magically appears on our grocery store shelves, are under siege. Like swarms of locusts, federal regulators from the EPA, BLM, USFS, etc. are driving these hardworking producers who feed America into the ground. A relentless bombardment of threats, fines, regulatory takings, lawsuits, and other means of perpetual harassment is killing what remains of our family-owned farms. It is not only America’s food supply that is imperiled by this onslaught; equally important (if not more so) is the threat that these rogue federal regulators pose to justice, to the rule of law, to the very idea of limited government, and to the freedom of each and every one of us.”

New manual to teach you how to Stop Agenda 21 by Tom DeWeese, The Wrenching Transformation of America: Agenda 21 (http://store.americanpolicy.org/collections/books/products/the-wrenching-transformation-of-america-agenda-21?mc_cid =b37aba22e3&mc_eid=[UNIQID])

Here's what's in my manual
I outline the treaties, policy papers, and international meetings that have set the policy.
(http://store.americanpolicy.org/collections/books/products/the-wrenching-transformation-of-america-agenda-21?mc_cid=b37aba22e3&mc_eid=[UNIQID])
I show how those international policies directly enter local communities disguised as innocent-sounding development projects or historic preservation.
I reveal how those international plans are moving past Congress and directly into local communities through a network of self-proclaimed “stakeholders.”
I explain how the Supreme Court has helped them do it.
I expose how private organizations are able to take control of your community and enforce these policies without a vote or any input from you.

I also demonstrate how Agenda 21 is affecting you right now:
International policy is currently directing local communities to enforce cutbacks on water use by as much as 75%.The Sierra Club’s plan forces 500 families to live on one acre of land and they deem it “Smart Growth.”
The new corporate law called “Benefit Corporations” enlists corporations to enforce sustainable development policies in their products and promotions. Nearly every state has now either passed or is considering this legislation.

I’m not only talking about radical environmental policy!
There is so much more. Do you think Obama’s healthcare policy is his brainchild? Of course not. In the manual, I show you its direct connection to sustainable development and the true purpose behind the planned destruction of America’s health care system.
Do our children receive poor educations because there is not enough money and teachers in the classrooms? I will show you that the dumbing down of American children is intentional and that the schools are operating for what they have been “reformed” to do. It is called “Common Core.”
But wait, there’s still more… I will show you how global warming is the greatest hoax ever played on man and I’ll show you why the Sustainablists cannot drop this discredited issue for fear of losing all of their demands for Agenda 21 policy.
I will show you some of the victims of these tyrannical policies and how they have been robbed of their property and livelihood simply because a government has too much power.
Most importantly, to complete this manual, I have included special reports from a team of experts, including former Senate Environment Committee staffer Marc Morano, one of the world’s top experts on the global warming hoax; the late Henry Lamb, the man who first exposed the UN’s global governance agenda; Mike Coffman and Michael Chapman, two of the nation’s leading experts on sustainable development and the international treaties and policies that are changing our nation; Author Wynne Coleman, one of the nation’s leading experts on Benefit Corporations; Joan Swirskyand Dr. Karen Effrem, two of the nation’s leading experts on Common Core; and the late Dr. Madeleine Cosman, a pioneer in exposing the destruction of our nation’s once-great health care system by connecting the dots to Agenda 21.
Of course there are lots of newsletters, blogs, and Internet sites out there with “insider” information. However, I have seen most of them and I know for a fact that many are missing the big picture! They will tell you about federal policies, taxes, bailouts, corrupt politicians, secret deals, and lots of stuff that–while it may be important–fails to connect the dots to the real root of the problem.
Other “experts” are missing the core threat: it is not discussed in the media, at many TEA party rallies or in national conferences, and certainly not in Congress or other levels of government.

The core threat is revealed in detail in my special report.
Only in this manual will you learn:
How our language is being manipulated to control policy
The threat we face is not a Republican or Democrat issue.
The ruling principle that will completely reorganize our society.
The three E’s of control.
The threat of the “precautionary principle” and how it will destroy our economy.
How Public/Private Partnerships are destroying free enterprise.
How the politically-based radical environmental movement uses fear of environmental damage as camouflage while they work to transform the American systems of government, justice, and economics
The dawn of “Common-ism” that transformed national sovereignty, natural resources, and private land into “common property” for the UN’s “global commons.”
How the public education system has been transformed to create “global village idiots.”
The four international commissions that are transforming the world towards global governance.
The full definition of an NGO and where they came from.
The most powerful environmental group in the world and why it is the most dangerous.
How UN policies become American law.
The Smart Growth fraud.
The lunacy of the Wildlands Project.
How “green” industry is costing taxpayers millions in additional costs and with no benefit.

Most importantly, the manual includes step-by-step details on how to fight against Agenda 21 in your community, including:
The exact language necessary to protect property rights.
The “Resolution for the Protection of Citizen’s Property Rights” and how to use it as an effective tool to stop Agenda 21 in your community.
