Patriots Pack Court… Douglas County Officials Attack Them!

Posted on January 16, 2015 by gavinseim

I have not showered or shaved since Thursday morning. That’s next, but I need to get this out. PLEASE READ and share!

A few of the meager things we were given in the jail.

I’m exhausted, but glad to be with family. Thank you all for the kind words, prayers and pressure placed on officials.  They were totally hammered by your calls and that likely had a big effect on my dad Grant and I being released, as they planned to hold us longer. Rumor is they were getting so many calls they shut down the switchboard.
Videos are coming soon. I had a chance to see them for the first time tonight and they are incredible and awful at the same time. Patriots showed up at the court on Thursday because we learned before the trial that they were rigging the court to make an example of Tell Shasteen. See the original article here. It seems when a public official commits a crime, they in turn charge a citizen with whatever THEY committed.
The morning dawned like no jury trial you have seen. Security was in the parking lot questioning everyone and asking if they were jurors, so they could usher them away. Police were everywhere and all hands were on deck. But on Jan 15th, a small band of patriots stood up to them and to the court like America has never seen.
It happened fast. I had run out to the car for a power cord and the moment I was out, they sprang. When I ran back into the courtroom it was in complete chaos. Douglas county sheriff’s deputies where dragging Nathan, body slamming anyone in their path and hauling him out. — Patriots were blocking the doors as police dragged Nathan out, kidnapping him from the courtroom at special request from the judge before she even entered the chambers. He had done nothing illegal and was literally sitting quietly in a chair waiting for things to start. But they knew that he, like me, had been helping Tell, as a friend, get ready for the big day.
I rushed in and addressed Judge Judith L. McCauley, who had just entered, calling her out on what was happening. They tackled and arrested me, hauling me off. There’s more, but that will be clear in the video. Off I went to jail!
I don’t mean to whine here.  I stand for justice and there is a cost to that stand. But you need to understand how the jail system is mentally abusive and demoralizing. Not necessarily physical abuse, for it is sometimes done politely. It’s that the entire process is designed to break the spirit of all who enter. Lights are on even when sleeping, jailers come in and work in the middle of the night to break your rest. When moving you around, they leave you in tiny stone rooms for more time than necessary; just so they can gleefully remind you that THEY are in control! At great effort YOU must keep your head held high.

Everyone locked in these walls is treated as subhuman, regardless of crime or guilt. Understand that nothing about these halls had anything to do with justice. It’s a dark reflection of the tyrannical system we have allowed outside. It was quite an experience, being in there with my father and that part was a great comfort.

To give you an idea, After a night of barely any sleep, we checked out and moved from Chelan to Okanogan County. Locked in chains, we were put into the a small steel cage in the back of a van. When we arrived, now in our street clothes having checked out of Chelan, we were informed that we would be attending a hearing over video with Douglas County. They actually made us undress and get into prison clothes simply to stand in handcuffs before the judge.
I was arrested without charge, except them saying I was resisting arrest (a charge they removed from my citation) and was left in a tiny cement cell. Outside I could actually hear police on the phone with the prosecutor, talking about what they could charge me with. Shortly after I was taken, my dad was arrested and charged with multiple counts for simply not sitting in his chair. The judge had VACATED the chambers. The Sheriff himself, Harvey Gjesdal,  who actually assaulted the defendant in the courtroom, demanded that my dad sit down or be arrested. He stood up to him.
According to the courts OWN rules, it was supposed to work this way: You notify the judge that you will be filming proceedings. They cannot just refuse. They are required to respond with the conditions, or in rare cases, “why” they are disallowing filming. They have to articulate a legitimate reason to restrict. It cannot be simply because they “don’t want filming”. If you have any question on this feel free to contact the Washington State Attorney General. You can also read the court rule.
The fact is we were addressing the court on their own rules and they were in open VIOLATION of them. We had given them notices in writing that we would be filming and that Nathan and I would be there to assist the defendant. This is in no way in violation of the law. I was NEVER arguing with the judge about whether I could “represent” the defendant as news media is falsely reporting. I was addressing the judge on the illegal removal of Nathan and the fact that they were violating the law.
We we out of the picture, but Tell Shasteen handled himself incredibly as he defended himself to the jury. He had rulings and law that the prosecution was in no way prepared for. SO THEY SIMPLY REFUSED to let him speak about it and the judge readily aided the prosecutor in blocking him. They might might as well have forced the jury to convict him or skipped it all together.
The Douglas county court obstructed justice in nearly every way. All  for asking an officer a question, they rigged the court and sentenced Tell to 5 days in jail and a year probation and fines. This is like a sentence that an assault, or DUI offender would receive. JUST FOR ASKING A QUESTION. He is not in jail now however and the court violated so many of their own procedures and laws, that the entire case will likely be tossed out. Their actions match perfectly the definition of Kangaroo Court.
Douglas county is beside themselves with vengeance, but it won’t work. They have made up violations and charged me with Obstructing a Court, Disorderly Conduct, and Contempt of Court. Which are in fact only some of the crimes that THEY committed. My dad was charged with Obstructing a court, and Contempt of Court. Offenses that could (though rarely) result in over a year of prison.
This battle is the same one as the fight for our guns and our liberty. The actions of Douglas County took the court systems are in open assault on liberty. It will not stand.
Thank you all for helping, donating and standing. This is just getting started. We need all the help we can get, but liberty is worth the effort and this is going to be huge.
Stay tuned. — Gav

Douglas County WA Goes to Jury Trial to PUNISH Citizen for Asking a Question!

Posted on January 10, 2015 by

But the citizen and the patriots are taking them on!

Douglas County Washington is a farm community with a population of under 40,000 and lots of crony politics. Officials are spending massive taxpayer dollars to try and punish a man for demanding a police officer tell him why he was being stopped. It’s one of the many Counties in America where corruption is disguised under a covering of respect and politeness. Don’t let that fool you.
We see a lot of stories about the worst of the worst and police that do really bad things. In my recent article about what makes a good cop I raised the question. What about those officers who don’t seem so bad? This case illustrates the massive problem of micro-tyranny within America. Cases of abuse where life is not taken, but government goes to any length to keeps the jack boot of tyranny on the necks of citizens.

The case is going to trial! The patriots Are Coming.

This man is standing up. Myself and many fellow patriots are standing with him.
Douglas County in turn is blocking every path they can, withholding information and attempting to hamper the citizens rights to defend himself in order to uphold their abuse. We the people will NOT allow this behavior. Join us and pack the courtroom. Jan 15th, 8:30AM at the Douglas County District Court, 110 2nd Street Northeast #100, East Wenatchee WA. —  Join the Event!

Government all over America is using illegal harassment to punish law abiding citizens under color of law and keep them in their place. The governments greatest fear is a people that will stand up. If a fraction of these abuses were taken to jury trial, with the defendants boldly representing themselves; this system of micro-tyranny would collapse and with it the larger abuses would be taken on.
This man is standing up to them and it’s going to jury trial. This is a County that does not even have it’s own jail, yet has the gall to waste tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars. Just to punish a citizen who dared to question their authority with a simple demand that the law be respected.

This is not about one case. It’s about a long train of abuse.  It’s the same conversation we had when we nullified i594. We plan to pack the courtroom and expose them. Judges and officials answer to the people and their authority does not override the Constitution.

On a lonely dark highway in Douglas county, officer Evan O’Mally stopped Tell Shasteen who was driving with Tammy Seim returning from a family dinner in Wenatchee. The officer comes up to the window and the driver reaches for his information as he asks the officer the reason for the stop. The officer then refuses to give the information, even though Washington State law requires officers to verify reason for their stop (give their authorization) when asked.
The driver asked a common question. Knowing about the issues with unmarked police cars in Washington and that people impersonating drivers are more frequently getting people to stop on the road at night to rob, assault or worse, he made the right choice. While this car was marked, the driver could not see that in the darkness . Officers can’t just stop you. They have to have a legal reason to do so and the driver wanted to verify that.
The officer refuses to comply. Despite the fact that even if there were no such a law, it’s a perfectly reasonable question. When the driver fails to give his papers fast enough, the officer opens his door, violating the 4th amendment even while admitting the driver was not then under arrest. The officer claims he does not need permission to open the door. The driver demands that the officer close the door, but he refuses and arrests the driver, charging him with obstruction, but later changing it to a lesser, but still criminal charge of non compliance. All using the same RCW that he (the officer) failed to comply with when he refused to give his authorization for the stop.
As it turns out the driver was stopped for doing 16 mph over the speed limit (he is not fight that citation). But despite his oath of office and the mission statement of the Douglas County Sheriff, the officer was more concerned about punishing this man for daring to ask a question that would help to legally verify the stop.
Kudos to this young man. As a side note. Always lock your door and always film. Had the driver done this, the officer likely would have backed off.
The driver, an employed 19 year old with no record, attempted to redress his grievances with elected Sheriff Harvey Gjesdal and Prosecuting Attorney Steven Clem. Both refused to deal with the lawless behavior of the officer, his violating of the Constitution, or the complete needlessness of the arrest. It makes you realize; this is about making sure people are obedient to government. It has nothing to do with law or justice. The corruption goes all the way to the top and they are all protecting each other.
The driver motioned for dismissal in Douglas County district court, but judge Judith L. McCauley refused to dismiss. I sat in the courtroom for some of these hearings. The judge was rude, disrespectful and intimidating, rather than upholding her oath and the mission of the County government.
For their part, County officials are doing whatever they can to make it hard for Tell to defend himself in court. They abuse rules, hide what’s really happening and use whatever they can obstruct justice. But we don’t have to tolerate that. We are turning the tables and many of the elected officials in Douglas County have been subpoenaed to be questioned by the citizens at the trial.
The prosecutors office continues to obstruct justice by failing to provide evidence in discovery and ignoring legal requests from the defendant.
It’s time to start rooting out micro-tyranny like an infected cavity. It’s time to start taking back out courts. Judges, officials and prosecutors have shown neglect and obstruction of justice. We are gathering on the 15th to hold them accountable. Because no judge or elected official is above the the law. We will make sure they behave with respect, follow the Constitution and honor due process.
Stand up for liberty. — Gav

Ten GREAT Reasons the U.S. Should NOT Lift the Embargo on Cuba

January 16, 2015 By Greg Campbell

FacebookTwitterEmailPrintMore

As President Obama continues to dismantle what has stood as diplomatic bedrock for each and every president for the last fifty-plus years, Cuban leaders wait with hushed anticipation of the day when the U.S. will finally lift the economic embargo on the island that remains a bastion of Communist government just 90 miles off our shores.

 

To be clear, the citizens of Cuba are not to blame for this system of government. While it is unfortunate that so many must remain imprisoned on this island, stuck under the oppressive rule of this despotic Castro regime, the surest hope for their ultimate freedom is for the breaking of the Communist stranglehold on Cuban citizens, not to facilitate the survival of this method of tyrannous government.

 

Though President Obama and his assorted band of “yes men” and other diplomatic weaklings head towards lifting the Cuban embargo, Jim Meyers at Newsmax.com compiled a list of compelling reasons why those on the right andleft ought to be in favor of maintaining the embargo:

 

1. Lifting the embargo would benefit the Cuban people far less than the Castro regime. Most of the Cuban economy is owned by the government and all foreign trade is channeled through its agencies. Companies pay wages in hard currency, including dollars and euros, but the government pays workers in Cuban pesos — 500 pesos is worth around $21 USD — and then pockets about 90 percent of the wages. 

 

2. Decades of trade between Cuba and market economies in Europe, Canada, and Latin America have not produced the political and economic benefits to the people that embargo opponents say a lifting of the sanctions would produce. What they have done is line the pockets of the Castro government. Corruption, not the embargo, denies people the benefits of trade.

3. Opening up trade with Cuba would lead the United States into dealings with a “deadbeat” nation that refuses to honor its commitments. Cuba has defaulted on its estimated $37 billion debt to the Paris Club of nations. Russia has been forced to write off Cuba’s $32 billion debt, and Mexico wrote off $340 million of Cuba’s debt.

4. Cuba has not released all the political prisoners Obama said the regime had promised to free during recent Cuban-American discussions. Estimates are that there are more than 6,000 political detainees in Cuba, among the world’s highest per capital, and some 65,000 prison inmates altogether.

 

5. Ending the embargo would be a blow to American values. Americans want free trade with free people and not relations that strengthen an authoritarian regime’s oppression of its people.

6. Lifting the embargo without getting concessions from Cuba would make the United States appear weak. According to U.S. law, Cuba must legalize all political activity, release political prisoners, commit to free and fair elections, grant freedom of the press, and allow labor unions. Cuba has not met these conditions. Lifting the sanctions unilaterally would send the message that America is willing to appease an oppressive regime. Moreover, the embargo enables the United States to continue to pressure the Cuban government to improve human rights.

7. The embargo does not prevent Americans from providing assistance to the Cuban people. American policy allows people to visit family members and send money to relatives in Cuba. Over $3.5 billion in remittances are sent to Cuban families each year.

8. Cuba remains on the U.S. “State Sponsors of Terrorism” list. Cuba has provided sanctuary for terrorists from other nations and harbored American fugitives. Black Panther activist and convicted murderer JoAnne Chesimard is among the 90 or more criminals who fled America and received political asylum in Cuba.

9. The United States should not lift the embargo until a new leader is in place in Cuba. Fidel Castro turned over control to his brother Raul, but Raul is over 80 years old and it is unclear who would succeed him. The embargo could be used as a bargaining chip when a new leader takes power.

 

10. The American people oppose lifting the embargo. A poll last year found that a slight majority still want the sanctions to remain in place. More importantly, an even larger majority of Cuban-Americans, those who understand the situation best, favor keeping the embargo in place.

I remember when America was a land of opportunity

I remember when America was a land of opportunity and freedom for all. A time when we had the Best education on Earth, when schools and teachers taught real math, history, science, American History. When they encouraged you to become all that you dreamed of becoming, of looking to those in history who succeeded by their hard work, study, and application of what they had learned and the risks they took to achieve their success. 

Where the Creator = God = Jesus Christ and our Father in Heaven were remembered and respected and we gave thanks to them for being born in America in a land with the Constitutional freedoms no other lands on Earth before or since have granted to the people. 

Where the Small Government worked for the People as their employees. 

But today due to corruption, secret combinations of all types on all levels of society be they in the schools, churches, government offices local to state to federal. We have a Huge out of control criminal supported and lawless National Government that is not as our founders desired, but what they warned us about. People who once in power use that power for their personal lusts of riches, power / control over others, and other nefarious reasons. 

We have today Not the Republic of America but the Socialist states of America is all but complete, we have lost much of our Bill of Rights and the Constitutional rights granted us. 

We have dictators in DC, who are above the rule of law for they change the laws to stay their punishments so they can continue the destruction of the Republic of America. This is how it happens as the people sleep in their comfortable little bubbles like every other civilization that has fallen into ruin. 

When the people choose to slumber and choose assumed safety over Freedom they become slaves and those the state chooses to be new undesirables or no longer beneficial to the purposes of the Whole, the hive, their society they are exterminated from the new order. 

You see history does repeat when you do not learn from real history, why history is distorted or lied about and replaced with lies so that the evil ones can repeat the destruction of yet another Nation for their personal profit.

Such is the work of the great destroyer, the great evil one who’s goal is the suffering and destruction of all humankind. 

Lucifer be his name and your destruction spiritually, morally, physically is his game and he is very good at it. 

Now it the time to choose, whom will you serve? 

Whom shall you follow? 

The workers of darkness and death or the workers of light and truth and life?

I say this Light wins in the end. Darkness and its followers on all levels loose. So it is written so it has been done, for eons and eons of eternity. 

Choose well.

Obama’s Own Words Create the Profile of a Stealth Muslim Infiltrator of the Presidency

By Ben Barrack on January 8, 2015 in Featured, General

by Lynn Woolley

This link below covers the videos and audios for this story. And is where the story was found.
 

http://shoebat.com/2015/01/08/obama-fits-profile-stealth-muslim-infiltrator-presidency/



You can now remove the word “apparent.” This was not workplace violence. But liberal Democrats, including the President of the United States are hesitant to use the term “Islamic terrorists.” My producer, Ben Barrack, said something profound. Some leaders call this scourge what it is. Some, like Britain’s David Cameron and Germany’s Angela Merkel are appeasers. Some leaders seem to openly embrace Islam – and that is where President Obama falls.
Many times in his presidency, he has made it perfectly clear that he reveres the religion of his birth while claiming the mantle of Christianity. Best case in point – the administration’s refusal to call the Fort Hood massacre what it really was.

President Obama in his own words.
Does the current president of the United States openly embrace the Islamic religion? Watch these clips, and make up your own mind.
First, here is the President reacting to the massacre in Paris.
This is, of course, mostly a bunch of mumbo jumbo about freedom of the press and our “solidarity with France.” It is not a bold statement against terrorism perpetrated by Islamists.
In this clip, Obama tells Larry King that he is NOT a Muslim, but we worries about insults against Muslim Americans.
In fact, President Obama is quite concerned with slandering the Prophet of Islam as he made clear before the United Nations.
Here is the famous clip with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos where George corrects a slip of Obama’s tongue:
Here, Obama talks about the Koran and the Bible:
In this sequence, Obama explains that America is more Muslim than you think:

But, as the Muslim population grows in America Obama seems to think Christianity is on the decline.
And here is Obama bowing to the Saudi King:
What religion Obama claims is his own business. However, based on his own words, it is bizarre that this man ever became president of the United States of America.

FALLEN MARINE’S FATHER TO OBAMA: I wonder how many of these get returned to you?

FALLEN MARINE’S FATHER TO OBAMA: I wonder how many of these get returned to you?

Steve Hogan, father of fallen Marine Hunter D. Hogan received the condolence letter shown below from “Mr. Obama.”

Mr. Hogan wrote on the President’s letter and sent it back hoping that Mr. Obama would see it. We don’t know if he did, but hundreds of thousands of others have and we want to make sure hundreds of thousands more see it too. In the letter he rebuked the “Comm-in-chief” over the rules of engagement that have led to the unnecessary deaths of many of America’s servicemen.

This past week, the US commander of NATO declared the end of the mission against the Taliban in Afghanistan. Obama followed up with a statement declaring,

“Our combat mission in Afghanistan is ending and the longest war in American history is coming to a responsible conclusion.”

However, Mr. Hogan’s letter is a grim reminder of the feelings that permeate many of those currently serving our country in the armed forces. His letter to Obama begins:

“I wonder how many of these get returned to you!

“Mr. Barrack Hussein Obama,

I am deeply saddened that you are the President of the United States. You sir are an embarrassment to the Oval Office. My son, as well as most Marines I know, despise you and your lack of representation for our military. Your ridiculous rules of engagement have caused the massive amount of casualties on your watch in Afghanistan. While we watch your media pander to your administration and clearly sweep things under the rug for you. I fully understand Marines die. You have tied their hands & feet! I am thankful I did not serve under a Comm. in Chief such as you. I am sickened that my son had to. I wonder… I doubt that you will see this, I hope you do though!

Steve Hogan”
