Republicans & Democrats or Crips & Bloods? – Do the colors match?
BY ISAIAH FRIZZELL
Dear Residents of Idaho, United States of America:
This report is NONPARTISAN – the federal and local agencies allegedly responsible for malfeasance, inaction and misconduct affects all citizens.
Eric Parker, as you’ll remember, this month went to Capitol Hill to deliver an evidence packet to Senators Risch and Crapo, staff members and representatives across party lines. In this packet are affidavits, high-level memos and direct evidence alleging constitutional infringements from multiple agencies against American citizens before, during and after the Bundy Ranch incident. The echoing effects from these infringements and the alleged coverup ripple, now, into our current way of life.
Parker is a hardliner for addressing these enormous issues through the system of policy. When a system we rely on fails, there is at least one point of failure; we address that point or points, repair and move forward.
Does corruption really exist? There are records, evidence and rulings that prove the existence of corruption. If corruption exists and it hampers, weakens or even breaks the system used to keep our nation functioning, why use a broken system? It once worked but suddenly doesn’t. Idaho, we have a problem. The system is factually corrupt, the corruption is alleged to be multi-level, cross-agency and aimed at American citizens.
So what do we do as proactive, self-responsible people? We get to work fixing the system first — with UNITY — through systematic repair. We put aside our differences, stand on the legislation and the paths set forth in the Constitution and use those tools so that the system works again, as intended — so that we carry on helping others, eating, sleeping, dreaming, building… thriving.
Remember
The alleged misconduct concerning the Cliven Bundy/Golden Butte Nevada Case is as integral now as anything currently being repeated in the media. The allegations made by whistleblower Larry Wooten, who was an active Special Agent for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), are real. There is an active lawsuit investigating his alleged witnessing of illegal misconduct by the BLM.
Wooten’s job was to police the agency and hold BLM agents to ethical standards in behavior and record keeping. Why would he blow the whistle, risking his livelihood and his potential well-being? Why is he asking for protection?
From the Wooten Memo
“As a U.S. Department of Interior (DOI), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Office of Law Enforcement and Security (OLES) Special Agent (SA) and Case Agent/Lead Investigator for the Cliven Bundy/2014 Gold Butte Trespass Cattle Impound Case out of the District of Nevada in Las Vegas (Case 2:16-cr-00046-GMN-PAL-United States of America v. Cliven Bundy, et al), I routinely observed, and the investigation revealed, a widespread pattern of bad judgment, lack of discipline, incredible bias, unprofessionalism and misconduct, as well as likely policy, ethical, and legal violations among senior and supervisory staff at the BLM’s Office of Law Enforcement and Security [my emphasis].” – Larry Wooten
Larry Wooten, while performing his duties, allegedly found damning evidence of misconduct in the very agency he worked for. Wooten continues doing his job and reports on his findings:
“I personally informed Acting United States Attorney Steven Myhre and Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) Nadia Ahmed, as well as Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Special Agent Joel Willis by telephone of these issues.” – Larry Wooten
Was Wooten doing his job?
“On February 16, 2017, I personally informed then AUSA (First Assistant and Lead Prosecutor) Steven Myhre of those specific comments (which I had previously disclosed to, and discussed with my supervisor) and reminded Special Assistant United States Attorney (SAUSA) Erin Creegan about an email chain by a particular BLM SAC in reference to the Arrest of David Bundy on April 6, 2014, in which prior to Dave Bundy’s arrest, the BLM SAC and others were told not to make any arrests.” – Larry Wooten
Wooten presents evidence alleging disregard, by the BLM, of agency jurisdiction and defiance of conduct. And then two days later:
“On February 18, 2017, I was removed from my position as the Case Agent/Lead Investigator for the Cliven Bundy/Gold Butte Nevada Case by my supervisor despite my recently documented and awarded hard work and excellent and often praised performance. Additionally, a BLM ASAC (my supervisor, but also my co-case agent) violated my privacy and conducted a search of my individually occupied secured office and secured safe within that office. During this search, the BLM ASAC without notification or permission seized the Cliven Bundy/Gold Butte Nevada Investigative “hard copy” Case File, notes (to include specific notes on issues I uncovered during the 2014 Gold Butte Nevada Trespass Cattle Impound and “lessons learned”) and several computer hard drives that contained case material, collected emails, text messages, instant messages, and other information. Following this seizure outside of my presence and without my permission, the BLM ASAC didn’t provide any property receipt documentation (Dl-105/Form 9260-43) or other chain of custody documentation (reasonably needed for trial) on what was seized.” – Larry Wooten
Wooten was removed from his position after allegedly performing his duty of holding accountable the bad actors and poor decision making by the BLM.
Why does this matter now? What was the misconduct and who did it affect?
The allegations are numerous and allege the use of excessive force, anticipation and training for violence, spying on citizens and activists with enhanced technology as well as general bad behavior by the Bureau of Land Management. They are beyond the scope of this installment but will be further dissected in the next.
Where’s the precedent?
The Forest Service became embroiled in an excessive-force lawsuit with a homeless family in Payette after embarking on a plain-clothes sting mission involving deception and apparent strategy. Who funds plain-clothes operations and training? Why did they approach the situation via deception? These questions are integral to this bipartisan issue.
The Forest Service is an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture while the BLM is an agency of the U.S. Department of Interior. They have individual charters to which they are held accountable and while they work together, both deal with the land in different ways. Historically the BLM, in part, acts to secure mineral rights. Should excessive force ever come up in cases involving either of these agencies? If excessive force and strategy are used, is this what is meant by militarization or weaponization of government agencies?
In addition to alleged abdication of jurisdiction by local law enforcement potentially under duress from federal agencies there are documented allegations of the use of excessive force and attempted obfuscation. The Bundy/Nevada case is on tables in Washington again for investigation of how and why these agencies allegedly make these rash and unconstitutional, anti-human decisions.
Mr. Parker Goes to the
Weaponization of Government Committee
Eric Parker has hopes that the evidence packet he presented, including the Wooten memo, will help guide the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government in finding the points of failure in the system and perhaps with funding cuts in appropriate places ameliorate the malfunctions.
Parker has legitimate concerns: “People do not understand how militarized our law enforcement is… They just have no clue… do they really need all that gear? All that expensive training?… you really have to look at things like the Patriot Act which states that they can start surveilling and with that surveillance comes the rule of three… if I talk to somebody who talks to somebody who talks to somebody who can get surveilled? … and are they incorporating that into this?”
He’s hopeful that with this bombshell Wooten memo and other evidence in front of D.C. policymakers, “we can see who’s involved and how high up does this go… this is what discovery is about… what subpoena power is about… let’s get the emails… the phone records…”
Eric Parker is not anti-system. He views the changes that need to be made from a systematic approach — find the point of failure, do what needs to be done to make it function and the system will work.
It is highly recommended that those of either party or unaffiliated read the Wooten memo and consider the ramifications of internecine weaponization of federal agencies.
Lava Ridge
The Lava Ridge Project, already facing adamant opposition, is fomenting in real time. Will this be another Bundy Ranch situation? It doesn’t have to be but neither does the eviction of a homeless family necessitate a man in a wheelchair being shot by plain-clothes federal agents. We need to be aware of the role local and federal agencies play and where we stand. It would help to research what wind turbines actually do and how the BLM double dips by leasing land to people who already pay taxes on it.
In the next installment ,we’ll dive into public record of allegations of illegal surveillance by the BLM and the FBI plus the alleged weaponization of activists by the SPLC to target families, in person and unpoliced. Is this happening in a town near you? How close do you live to Magic Mountain?
Bipartisan, nonpartisan, apolitical… we put aside our political nitpicking and fix an issue that affects us all. This is about the weaponization of federal government and the constitutional rights of everyone in Idaho, USA. Stand by.
