      Dunno where else or how to get this to WRSA.
      Concerning Beaufort County NC and the 2nd Amendment.
      Please go to Free NC per the link in your article. Read the comments. I am very well aware and have considerable experience in dealing with the ConCon as it concerns NC in the past. Read my comments there. You will know who I am and learn a ConCon is a very dangerous thing and shouldn’t have been included by the commissioners in the video and their resolution to the legislature. Just giving you a heads up in order to avert this in the future.

    “Law Enforcement Listener’s Alert

    I am hearing from ATF sources that the “Joker Tut” is going to sign an executive order that regulates hi capacity mags to 10 rounds or less and prohibits any and all personal firearms sales that do not go thru an FFL dealer. The fees for transfers could be extremely high to discourage firearms sales. This will be declared as necessary due to the shooting of the Arizona Representative. I am told that we are weeks away from this being put in place.”

    From the comments:
    It is interesting to me that a blogpost about disinformation has morphed into an insurgency discussion. We live in an unsettled time in which the probability of major economic and social upheaval is non trivial. That so many people are thoughtfully contemplating this potential development is indicative of serious social anxiety.

    Hello.

    I’m contacting you about Dyerpalooza; this is a nationwide fundraiser and celebration for the American political dissident and fugitive Charles Dyer/aka July4Patriot. I know he’s not your regular beat but he had his home and all his exculpatory evidence burned the Friday before his court date, so rather than submit to being railroaded he’s on the run.

    Tentatively it’s set for September 9th or 10th-don’t have a on site venue or internet venue either, but provided would you consider participating either where you’re at with cyberlink to the central node, or perhaps at the main venue?

    Our twofold goal is to raise enough money to pay off the bond on the Dyer’s farm, their legal bills and to raise awareness on just how he’s been screwed-there’s a silence on the media as they want to murder him.

    If interested reply at my e-mail.

    Here’s a little visual quiz that Radley Balko of “The Agitator” put together to illustrate the way cops and soldiers are increasingly difficult to tell apart. There are 21 images. All police photos are from domestic U.S. police agencies. A couple of the “soldier” photos are from foreign military. He blurred or blacked out insignias that would give away the answer.

    “Personal freedom, political liberty, and free speech. Defended by force of arms, if necessary.” I am already signed on to the intent of the first phrase, but lack the wherewithal to execute the intent of the second. Never did get the knack of firearms (I found this out in US Navy bootcamp). But, I do feel safer (for my progeny, given I’ve already logged 75 years) knowing there are folks who will and can defend the country within the original intent behind the second amendment.. I’ll sign up for your articles, but I perceive a steep learning curve for your jargon and acronyms. No matter–I’ll ask a question here and there if things get too obscure. I feel I am making a small contribution to the effort by writing articles in my own blog on concepts of freedom and liberty, hubris, essays on some of the Founders, and relevant world events, current and historical. I try to make it as non-polemical as possible. Best wishes, Ron Pavellas: pavellas.com.

    Self defense. Specifies that a person may use reasonable force against any other person in certain circumstances. Provides that a person is justified in using reasonable force against a law enforcement officer if the person reasonably believes the force is necessary to: (1) protect the person or a third person from unlawful force; (2) prevent or terminate the law enforcement officer’s unlawful entry into the person’s dwelling; or (3) prevent or terminate the law enforcement officer’s criminal interference with property lawfully in the person’s possession. Specifies that a person is not justified in using force against a law enforcement officer if: (1) the person is committing or is escaping after the commission of a crime; (2) the person provokes action by the law enforcement officer with intent to injure the law enforcement officer; (3) the person has entered into combat with the law enforcement officer or is the initial aggressor; or (4) the person reasonably believes the law enforcement officer acting lawfully or is engaged in the lawful execution of the law enforcement officer’s official duties. Provides that a person is not justified in using deadly force against a law enforcement officer who the person knows or reasonably should know is a law enforcement officer unless: (1) the person reasonably believes that the law enforcement officer is acting unlawfully or is not engaged in the execution of the officer’s official duties; and (2) the force is reasonably necessary to prevent serious bodily injury to the person or a third person.

    McPhee describes two things: how Switzerland requires military service from every able-bodied male Swiss citizen — a model later emulated and expanded by Israel — and how the Swiss military has, in effect, wired the entire country to blow in the event of foreign invasion. To keep enemy armies out, bridges will be dynamited and, whenever possible, deliberately collapsed onto other roads and bridges below; hills have been weaponized to be activated as valley-sweeping artificial landslides; mountain tunnels will be sealed from within to act as nuclear-proof air raid shelters; and much more.

    [...]

    To interrupt the utility of bridges, tunnels, highways, railroads, Switzerland has established three thousand points of demolition. That is the number officially printed. It has been suggested to me that to approximate a true figure a reader ought to multiply by two. Where a highway bridge crosses a railroad, a segment of the bridge is programmed to drop on the railroad. Primacord fuses are built into the bridge. Hidden artillery is in place on either side, set to prevent the enemy from clearing or repairing the damage.

    Further:

    Near the German border of Switzerland, every railroad and highway tunnel has been prepared to pinch shut explosively. Nearby mountains have been made so porous that whole divisions can fit inside them. There are weapons and soldiers under barns. There are cannons inside pretty houses. Where Swiss highways happen to run on narrow ground between the edges of lakes and to the bottoms of cliffs, man-made rockslides are ready to slide.

    [...]

    McPhee points to small moments of “fake stonework, concealing the artillery behind it,” that dot Switzerland’s Alpine geology, little doors that will pop open to reveal internal cannons and blast the country’s roads to smithereens. Later, passing under a mountain bridge, McPhee notices “small steel doors in one pier” hinting that the bridge “was ready to blow. It had been superceded, however, by an even higher bridge, which leaped through the sky above — a part of the new road to Simplon. In an extreme emergency, the midspan of the new bridge would no doubt drop on the old one.”

    And another gem:
    “In the words of Divisionnaire Tschumy, “The foremost battle is to prevent war with a price of entry that is too high. You must understand that there is no difference between the Swiss people and the Swiss Army. There is no difference in will. Economic, military— it’s the same thing. For seven hundred years, freedom has been the fundamental story of Switzerland, and we are not prepared to give it up now. We want to defend ourselves, which is not the same as fighting abroad. We want peace, but not under someone else’s conditions.”

    These people still believe there is some kind of democratic accountability in the political system, and it horrifies them to imagine a bunch of militia nuts deciding unilaterally that is time to overthrow this system and take control of it themselves. Timothy McVeigh is one of the more obvious examples of what they think of when you indicate that there comes a time to use violence against the government. Think of the stereotype most people think of when they think of people taking up arms against the government. Right-wing loonies have been a serious PR liability in this regard. The incessant paranoia from much of the Right feeds into this stereotype, and makes it seem like such an armed uprising is more imminent than it is. Most people see the current system as broken but not a complete failure – myself included. The idea that someone might try to overthrow it in favor of some kind of wacky right wing ideology alarms people.
    People have little sense that they are living in a historical bubble of prosperity. War and tyranny have been the norms through most of human history, and the period following WW2 has been fairly unique in many ways. They have a difficult time imagining true tyranny triumphing in an era when democracy has sort of triumphed as the default “desirable” system in most of the world. They cannot imagine people being stuck in concentration or internment camps domestically. They think that time is over, at least for the West. Accordingly they cannot envision a scenario where armed resistance would be appropriate. In other words, “It can’t happen here.”
    I think people are uncomfortable with the idea that you can and should resist attacks on yourself or others, because it creates a responsibility many of them are too cowardly to contemplate. This sounds harsh, but there it is.
    As to this last point, consider the arguments which inevitably take place every time a mass shooting occurs.
    People stampede onto online forums saying, “If a law-abiding citizen had a gun, he might have been able to stop the attack!”
    The response generally is:
    “No way, he would have hit other people or made it worse. The last thing we need are more guns!”
    And then both sides repeat this endlessly at each other. With due respect to the idea that pulling a gun and shooting someone in a high stress scenario with a pancked crowd running around is an unpleasant one, consider the psychology of resistance:
    If I believe that there is nothing I can do to resist (“The government has a vast military with missiles and helicopters and planes and microwave weapons, and no way can people with small arms ever resist that!”) then I can maintain my self respect while standing there and just being a victim. I can’t be accused of being a coward because there’s nothing I could have done. It is only sane for me to let the government (or shooter) do what he is going to do. Only a fool would resist. I maintain my dignity by not resisting.
    However…
    If indeed resistance may stop tyranny, then I am morally obligated to do so. Which means, in so doing, I may be mowed down by the opposition. Which means I may die. Man I didn’t even like touch football, and now I have to risk my life to defend my freedom or someone else’s?
    Therefore it is really important, for those who lead passive lives, who don’t like standing up to bullies in a way which which might lead them to bleed a bit, to insist that there is no way to resist. It is the only way they, who cannot imagine themselves ever picking up a gun in self-defense, to maintain their own dignity.
    Here’s my thing:
    I don’t care what people do. I’m not such a brave guy myself, but could I live with myself, wondering forever (this is the Braveheart speech basically) whether I could have secured my liberty or life, or that of others? How will I feel about standing down?
    I know how I’ll feel because I was once a teenage boy and backed down from some fights, and in others stood my ground and fought.
    I don’t ever think of the pain of being punched in the face these days, but I regret every time I didn’t stand up. I know this about myself.
    Owning a firearm in the context of the Second Amendment is far more than the assertion of a right (or privilege, as some unfortunately see it). When you make that claim – and you don’t have to, because owning one for sport is just fine — you don’t have to bring the Second Amendment into the argument – you are also signifying intent.
    There might come a time when you will have to stand and deliver. Probably not. It is highly unlikely. But not impossible.
    The implications of that scare the shit out of people, and it should scare the shit out of every American who claims the Second Amendment.
    Much is made online over why the Australians just handed over their weapons en masse to their government, or how badass the British were a centuries ago, only to turn into a passive, pussified society today.
    My theory is they never had something like the Second Amendment. There was never a conceptual “line in the sand” like the Second Amendment. Neither society conceives of the idea that government itself exists at the pleasure of its citizenry. Rather, in those as in other places (even among far too many people in the US), the government is omnipresent and omnipotent. Sometimes the government goes wrong, and someone jumps in the seat and starts driving it, but government…capital-I, Is.
    People who understand the Second Amendment also understand that there comes a point where you drag the fucking government out back and put a bullet in its head. Not only is there a time when that becomes morally imperative, but that it is a natural order of things — that the people decide. That the people are primary. That liberty is a primary. Liberty is not a privilege which exists at the pleasure of government, but that government is something that exists at the pleasure of a free people.
    Reflexively, too, the confiscation of firearms is a manifestation of exactly the type of tyranny the Second Amendment was designed as a check against.
    When the Australian government demonstrated such contempt for its citizens that it insisted they either not be allowed to own firearms, or be tracked and monitored in their efforts to do so, that should have signaled to Australians the true nature of how their government regards them.
    When someone insists I should not have a gun, I know how they regard me, which is why I get short with them, and why I do not even respect the rules of debate as to gun control: the very idea that someone else ought to have a say in petitioning the government to disarm me, suggests I want no sort of union with them politically. I neither respect them, nor their opinion. I respect their right to have the opinion, but I feel no solidarity, citizenship, or social contract with them. I would have no hesitation whatsoever to ignore any laws, regulations, or threats made against my right to possess firearms, and suggest that no obligation exists, no matter what the law or Supreme Court says. I know more than a few gun owners agree with me, and it is our tenacity in this regard which has blunted more and more efforts to monopolize firepower in the hands of the state.
    Gun control is contempt for the individual. The Second Amendment is the exaltation of the individual.
    Whatever our flaws, and we have many, and whatever ways I wish the US was like other countries in some respects, I view our Second Amendment as one way in which we’re better than any other country on earth which does not trust its citizens enough to bear arms. And I have no hesitation in saying that: in this one respect, our Constitution is superior to anything else that currently exists.
    That it is unfashionable in 2012 means nothing to me: the passion for surrendering basic freedoms to the government that so many of my fellow “citizens” seem to share is the best reason why I shouldn’t give a goddamn inch. I expect government to want to control arms. When citizens are falling over themselves to be less free, well, that’s a blaring klaxon of shit I can’t ignore.

    Wired discovered that the online encrypted e-mail company Hushmail had created a way for governments that had a Mutual Assistance Legal Agreement with Canada to subpoena Hushmail users’ accounts. Hushmail even created rogue downloadable software to help bust open encrypted accounts for the government, though it’s not clear the company was under any legal obligation to do so….

    Ok guys last night Aug 16, 2012 at 1930 (7:30 p.m.) a former marine, Brandon J raub was arrested for a patriotic facebook post here in chesterfield county. He is the founder of Richmond Liberty Movement group. He was approached by FBI and Secret Service and questioned about his facebook posts , He was then asked to come with them…. he was not read his rights and there is no record of his arrest. He was taken to John Randolph Regional Medical Center in Hopewell Va. This is serious guys there isn’t much info out there atm but we all should be ON THIS. If they are rounding up patriots over facebook post then they may come at our doors soon. DO NOT SIT ON THIS !!! His mother gave an interview on Josh Tolley radio show her name is Cathleen Thomas. This is where I got all my info and will continue digging into the wee hours tonight. We need to find out all we can guys this is in our AO and should be taken very seriously.

    This is the interview with his mother.

    Additional info

    Raub is the founder of the Richmond Virginia Liberty Movement and Works for Ron Paul Revolution.

      This is indeed serious.

      While some details are missing, for example why, if there was no warrant for his arrest, did he comply with their request?

      Why didn’t the relatives immediately retain an attorney?

      Last, I’ve read some of his posts. They came very close to the proverbial “threat on the life of the president” threshold, which shouldn’t exist, but it does and has existed for more than two decades.

      In short, never do that. Make plans to make the president’s existence irrelevant. It won’t matter if he’s alive and well if his activities are meaningless.

      Never, never, cooperate with the police, FBI, SS, or the lot. Don’t answer questions, do not go with them for any reason unless there’s an arrest warrant. Have an attorney on speed dial, for yourself AND your relatives and friends.

    More thoughts on .gov capability and encryption: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2012/08/is_iphone_secur.html

    Simson Garfinkel writes that the iPhone has such good security that the police can’t use it for forensics anymore:

    Technologies the company has adopted protect Apple customers’ content so well that in many situations it’s impossible for law enforcement to perform forensic examinations of devices seized from criminals. Most significant is the increasing use of encryption, which is beginning to cause problems for law enforcement agencies when they encounter systems with encrypted drives.

    “I can tell you from the Department of Justice perspective, if that drive is encrypted, you’re done,” Ovie Carroll, director of the cyber-crime lab at the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section in the Department of Justice, said during his keynote address at the DFRWS computer forensics conference in Washington, D.C., last Monday. “When conducting criminal investigations, if you pull the power on a drive that is whole-disk encrypted you have lost any chance of recovering that data.”

    Yes, I believe that full-disk encryption — whether Apple’s FileVault or Microsoft’s BitLocker (I don’t know what the iOS system is called) — is good; but its security is only as good as the user is at choosing a good password.

    The iPhone always supported a PIN lock, but the PIN wasn’t a deterrent to a serious attacker until the iPhone 3GS. Because those early phones didn’t use their hardware to perform encryption, a skilled investigator could hack into the phone, dump its flash memory, and directly access the phone’s address book, e-mail messages, and other information. But now, with Apple’s more sophisticated approach to encryption, investigators who want to examine data on a phone have to try every possible PIN. Examiners perform these so-called brute-force attacks with special software, because the iPhone can be programmed to wipe itself if the wrong PIN is provided more than 10 times in a row. This software must be run on the iPhone itself, limiting the guessing speed to 80 milliseconds per PIN. Trying all four-digit PINs therefore requires no more than 800 seconds, a little more than 13 minutes. However, if the user chooses a six-digit PIN, the maximum time required would be 22 hours; a nine-digit PIN would require 2.5 years, and a 10-digit pin would take 25 years. That’s good enough for most corporate secrets—and probably good enough for most criminals as well.

    Leaving aside the user practice questions — my guess is that very few users, even those with something to hide, use a ten-digit PIN — could this possibly be true? In the introduction to Applied Cryptography, almost 20 years ago, I wrote: “There are two kinds of cryptography in this world: cryptography that will stop your kid sister from reading your files, and cryptography that will stop major governments from reading your files.”

    Since then, I’ve learned two things: 1) there are a lot of gradients to kid sister cryptography, and 2) major government cryptography is very hard to get right. It’s not the cryptography; it’s everything around the cryptography. I said as much in the preface to Secrets and Lies in 2000:

    Cryptography is a branch of mathematics. And like all mathematics, it involves numbers, equations, and logic. Security, palpable security that you or I might find useful in our lives, involves people: things people know, relationships between people, people and how they relate to machines. Digital security involves computers: complex, unstable, buggy computers.

    Mathematics is perfect; reality is subjective. Mathematics is defined; computers are ornery. Mathematics is logical; people are erratic, capricious, and barely comprehensible.

    If, in fact, we’ve finally achieved something resembling this level of security for our computers and handheld computing devices, this is something to celebrate.

    But I’m skeptical.

    Your phone is a tracking device:

    Several hours ago, the latest hacker group to gain prominence, AntiSec, a subset of Anonymous, disclosed that it had obtained the confidential user data contained in some some 12 million Apple units after hacking an FBI Dell Vostro notebook computer, “used by Supervisor Special Agent Christopher K. Stangl from FBI Regional Cyber Action Team and New York FBI Office Evidence Response Team was breached using the AtomicReferenceArray vulnerability on Java” which contined a file titled NCFTA_iOS_devices_intel.csv, which “turned to be a list of 12,367,232 Apple iOS devices including Unique Device Identifiers (UDID), user names, name of device, type of device, Apple Push Notification Service tokens, zipcodes, cellphone numbers, addresses, etc. the personal details fields referring to people appears many times empty leaving the whole list incompleted on many parts.” In other words, the FBI had the personal data of a substantial number of Apple device users, certainly all of which had been obtained without prior permission. Naturally the question here is why on earth does the FBI have this data, and as TNW suggests, “They published the UDID numbers to call attention to suspicions that the FBI used the information to track citizens. Much of the personal data has been trimmed, however, with the hackers claiming to have left enough for “a significant amount of users” to search for their devices.” AntiSec has subsequently released one million of these UUIDs and their associated data. Find out if your device is on the list as explained below.

    First, courtesy of WhatsmyUDID.com, here is a simple process to find out what the specific number is.

    Any chance I get a link in your blogroll? I’ve got an unusual site/blog looking at politics as r and K-selected reproductive strategies in Evolutionary Biology. It kind of explains why our political ideologies look as they do, and unite things like monogamy with a desire for freedom, and promiscuity with drives towards welfare and single parenting. Basically you see the exact same thing in other species in nature, just without all the writing and arguing.

    The 2A as THE EGALITARIAN CLAUSE

    “All men are created equal.”

    What other nation proffers such a broad Egalitarian Clause—what academics should have called the 2nd Amendment of the Bill of Rights—in its foundational governmental documents?

    Egalitarian dispersal of State power is the intended purpose behind the “right to bear arms.”

    The Americans’ egalitarian sentiments expressed in the Second Amendment stem directly from close contact with the egalitarian, power-sharing Non-State eastern woodlands tribes, as documented in anthropologist Jack Weatherford’s Native Roots: How the Indians Enriched America (1992) and Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World (1988) and Jame’s Axtell’s The Invasion Within: The Contest of Cultures in Colonial North America (1986) (especially chapter 13, The White Indians of Colonial America.)

    America’s Constitutional Egalitarian Clause is confirmed by biology with how Christopher Boehm describes the evolution of egalitarianism in his Hierarchy in the Forest: The Evolution of Egalitarian Behavior (Harvard University Press, 1999) as a “reverse dominance hierarchy,” that depends on the less powerful to band together “to deliberately dominate their potential master if they wish to remain equal.”

    Don’t capitulate science–especially evolutionary biology and anthropology–to the Leftists, they’re wrong about it.

    A friend sent me this website link without an explaination. Since this is out of character for this individual I checked to see if it was legit, and was assured that it was infact sent by him. As a courtousey I said I’d give it a look. After work today I did and holy smokes.

    I get the website domain name now. ‘Moon Battery’ is discribing the actions of “Moon Bats”, you know, nut cases. It is a term sometimes used to describe the liberals and progressives of society.

    The website is a collection of actual news stories and editorials that show just how freaking nuts the liberal left is. Although this can be funny at first it soon becomes apparent how dangerous the left truely is!

    Please set aside a few minutes to paruse this website.

    “This video is a message to all Americans including those of you who are serving in the military and law enforcement. America is losing all of the freedoms that define it as America. The American dream will come to an end unless we draw the line.
    Everyone of you is going to have to make a decision. Obama is moving to become a dictator. In order to do that, Americans must be disarmed. Our government is preparing legislation to have firm arms confiscated beginning with semi-automatic rifles and military grade hand guns. I’m asking you to become public and vocal. I’m asking you to publicly state with me that IF anyone in any level of government uses physical force to remove our firearms, that you execute them as terrorists who are trying to overthrow our form of government and turn America into a police state modeled after Nazi Germany and Communist Russia. In this video I’m going to lay out the historical facts that show where are county is headed. Specifically, I’m going to compare the United States to the rise and fall of Nazi Germany so you can see the undeniable comparisons. “

    For your Consideration
    As an LEO when confronted with a gang of thugs terrorizing an area, I have used this simple and effective strategy.
    1. Identify the Boss
    2. Make the Boss understand that unless he makes the thugs stop terrorizing the area, I will make his life miserable.
    3. It is called the “Slap & Pickle”
    In regards to the 2nd Amendment and Gun Control
    1. Boss: Banks and Wall street
    2. Thugs: Obama and anti-gun politicians
    3. “Slap & Pickle”: I will stop paying the mortgage on my house and business until Obama and anti-gun politicians restore my 2nd Amendment rights and stop trying to take them.
    Pros to Strategy:
    Money talks, it’s all about the money, it must flow
    Available to anyone regardless of age or physical condition
    Confrontation with authority averted at this point
    Re-election war chests negatively impacted
    Cons to Strategy:
    Credit rating lowered
    Look for a house to rent

    A Cautionary Tale for the 21st Century (GUN CONFISCATION)

    A Cautionary Tale for the 21st Century (GUN CONSFICATION)

    On or about September 11, 1858 (interesting date) the Mormons pinned down the Fancher Train that was traveling from Arkansas to California, at Mountain Meadows in southern Utah. After about a week, the Mormons rode into the circled wagons with a white flag and told the people that they would lead them to safety but they had to give up their weapons and be led out. The Fancher train folk did not like that idea but this seemed to be the only way out. So they all threw their weapons into a wagon and were led out. Each adult was marched out by an armed Morman “escort” and after about walking a mile or so from the camp the Mormon leader told his men to do their duty, whereupon they turned upon their unarmed escorts and shot them dead. The Mormon’s indian friends came out of hiding and chopped down the few stragglers after which everybody looted the bodies and the wagons. The Mormons and Indians took about 800 or 900 head of cattle and horses and it was a fine day for killing and looting.

    Just replace the Fancher train with American citizens and our government for Mormons and think about this administrations recent gun restricting policies.

    He asked his listeners to imagine what would happen if the Popular Party (PP) were to lose its absolute majority in the next general elections, and the Catalan nationalists were to demand, in exchange for their support, a change of the Constitution to undo the doctrine of the “indissoluble unity” of Spain.

    “So what do the Armed Forces do?” he wondered, but gave no answer. “The rules are one thing, practice is another,” he said enigmatically. “If the defense mechanism of the constitutional order doesn’t work, by act or omission, then….” He didn’t complete the sentence. “The country is more important than democracy,” he said. “Patriotism is a feeling, and the Constitution is nothing but a law.”

    Enough talk. Our legislators have long since ceased to listed to their constituents. The time has come to remind them from where their authority is derived.

    Lets start by posting the names and home addresses of all the state officials, elected or appointed whose actions are in violation of the constitution. Initial focus should be on State and Federally elected representatives, followed by the key leaders in the DHS, ATF, and TSA. Much like roaches, they won’t like the light being shown on them. As public officials though I think it’s absolutely reasonable to release where they reside. Just posting their addresses will stir the pot.

    If those same individuals continue to ignore their responsibility to the tenets of the constitution up the ante. Collect signatures for recall elections of elected officials. Execute flash mobs at the their homes. Nothing violent, and it doesn’t have to last long. It does however have to receive media attention. Use their own instrument against them. Stage a flash mob, stay on site for no more than 1 hour, then simultaneously disperse. If you can coordinate that, you’ll have the tools necessary to carry the campaign to the next level, should it be required.

    Can/Will this website host a page to collect the names and addresses of those public officials acting in violation of the duty to the people? Sort it by state/agency.

    We’ve done enough talking. The sooner we act the more effective our efforts will be. If we continue to allow our nation to fall into the grip of socialism it will take deliberate, protracted violence to regain our liberty. It’s time to act.

    Colorado Authorities Arrest Nursing Mother
    for “Grazing Animals in the Municipal Right of Way”

    by admin on April 15, 2013
    Abbotts_OneBadgerFarms-cowsPhoto Credit: One Badger Farm LLC

    Visit “Get to Know Your Farmer” on Facebook

    On Sunday, April 7, Colorado farmers Ethan and Renee Abbott were in their house with their two children, ages 7 and 4 months when law enforcement officers from Weld County showed up and eventually arrested Renee for an offense that had allegedly occurred several months earlier: “grazing animals in the municipal right of way.”

    Renee was handcuffed and taken off to jail. Ethan reported that the arresting officer said that she would be held without bail and would not be released until she appeared before a judge in the morning. Ethan was beside himself, as his 4-month-old son was exclusively breastfed and would surely need nourishment before the morning.

    Ethan called the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund Hotline and was connected to Attorney Elizabeth Rich. Attorney Rich could hear the baby crying in the background, and recognized the cry as one of a very hungry baby. She consulted Nourishing Traditions and read Sally Fallon Morell’s recipe for infant formula to Ethan.

    Elizabeth then called the Office of the Weld County Sheriff and lit into the deputy doing the booking for Renee about the officers dragging a nursing mother off to jail for a minor ordinance violation. She asked the deputy if there were any aggravating circumstances, such as resisting arrest, threats to the officers, or disorderly conduct. There were not. [According to the "Daily Arrest Report" on the Weld County Sheriff’s website (no longer listed), Renee was being held for “failure to appear on a warrant”. When questioned by Attorney Rich, the booking deputy did not mention this charge. The “warrant” in question, however, was based upon the “grazing animals in the municipal right of way” charge.]

    The deputy doing the booking told Attorney Rich that he did “not appreciate [her] tone,” but he did agree to release Renee from custody. Shortly after the call, Ethan was able to pick up Renee and she was able nurse her hungry son.

    According to Ethan, the incident giving rise to the charge occurred earlier this year when damaged fencing (which Ethan suspected was the result of vandalism) on the Abbotts’ property allowed their livestock to escape. The Abbotts were unaware that the livestock were loose until a deputy sheriff knocked on the Abbotts’ door and advised a very pregnant Renee that she needed to round up cows in the municipal right of way, she did so immediately—resulting in a fall and subsequent hospitalization. The ticket the deputy issued her for “grazing animals in the municipal right of way” formed the basis for the arrest on April 7th.
