The Federal government has been seeking to expand it’s power for years, and President Obama has insisted that because he was a professor of Constitutional law he somehow is more equipped and capable to teach us how this country should run and why we must obey whatever he says.
He therefore jammed Obamacare through Congress with not one Republican supporter, and then somehow conned the Supreme Court into affirming that U.S. citizens MUST purchase insurance or be fined. This is typical of the lawless Obama administration, and we have truly become a banana republic, though that is not how the Constitution is written.
See the excellent video on page 2 regarding Constitutional limitations that are being violated.
The Federal governments seems to think that the citizens only own property leave of the government, and in essence that is true.
If a person buys a piece of property and pays property taxes on it, that is a form of rent paid to the government, and the government can seize that property and push the rightful owner off of that land if the taxes are not paid. How then does someone own a piece of property if the government can demand rent and evict if that rent or tax is not paid? It is stunning when seen this in the broad context, and true students of the Consititution will recognize the con that we have all bought in to.
The latest land and power battle is over father and son ranchers in Oregon by the name of Hammond went to jail on an arson charge. In 2002 and 2006, these ranchers decided to clear some brush and overgrowth on their ranch land by conducting a controlled burn, a very common activity in large areas such as their ranch in Oregon. The fire accidentally spread onto federal lands but was put out by the ranchers without any help from the feds. However, the Federal government still charged the ranchers with arson and are determined to jail them for 5 years each. Incidentally, the Federal land is flourishing, is now less of a wild fire hazard, and no properties were damaged in the incident.
The Constitutional attorney in the following video cites the Hammond case, but then goes on to instruct us on why it is only a small part of the huge overreach of the Federal government, as shown by the Constitutional limitations that the Federal government has been ignoring.
Watch video, page 2:
Question…when the Territory became a state why didn’t the federal land move to state ownership?
This process started long ago…thinking 1913ish, so can’t blame Hollywood for this.
Just not the United States Constitution.
I think it’s bogus they were charged for Domestic Terrorism, served their prison time and AFTER complete the sentence more time is added.
5 years for a fire that harmed no one, extinguished without government help and the fire is normal and needed land management practice.
Because it was the federal government’s property. Cession of property is at the discretion of the owner. There is nothing in the statehood section of the constitution that deals with the disposition of property.
Dw Wes Time will surly show for the truth will stand when the world falls no matter how many lies & propaganda is spoken…..
No, I’m stating Obama was never a PROFESSOR of Constitutional Law!
Their federal sentence was 5 years of which they served 1. It was arson on federal land and there were people in the area who could have been harmed, luckily they weren’t or they would be serving manslaughter charges.

I read your article which did present some of the other side but it did not convince me that the “militia” has justification to do what they are doing. We cannot become a country of vigilantes and the people armed against the government. It is not a badge of honor that they are wearing but a shield of righteousness fired by bitterness and ignorance and not for the people at all. The Hammonds do not want their involvement and the people of Burns do not want them there.
