BUNKERVILLLE  STANDOFF:  CLIVEN BUNDY SPEAKS OUT, RYAN PAYNE IS NOT FREE

"......You don't understand what it's like unless you spend 700 days in one of their prisons.  You don't find out until you stand up against the wall with your face towards that wall and you answer every question every one or they'll  shove your face right into that wall.   That's how they treat people.   That's how they treat 'We the People'   That's not how 'We the  People' of America are going to be treated anymore........"

Cliven Bundy talks about being a political prisoner in the USA at Bundy Ranch 1/9/2018

Cliven Bundy just described the kind of treatment prisoners got in Joseph Stalin's jails but now he is free to talk about it.

Cliven Bundy will be at 400 South Martin Luther King Boulevard in Las Vegas today at 1pm local time to speak outside the office of the Clark County Sheriff and to speak out against the failure of local authority to take a stand against federal authority.   Friends and supporters are urged to be there.

Bad weather cancelled the appearance yesterday but that didn't stop Mr. Bundy from speaking out about how local authority should be managing lands in the West, not federal authority.    It didn't stop Cliven Bundy from talking about his experience in prison and his lack of bitterness towards the federal government..

Bundy expressed his frustration at the notion of any farmer or rancher signing a contract for grazing on federal land.   He said they shouldn't because the federal government should not be recognized as the owner of the land.

He gave credit to his "Heavenly Father" for his journey to freedom.

Videos were recorded at Bundy Ranch of his comments yesterday and those of his oldest son, Ammon and posted on the "JGrady" account on You Tube.

Meanwhile, Ryan Payne, the fourth defendant whose charges were dismissed by Judge Gloria Navarro Monday still faces sentencing in Oregon after his conviction in the second rigged Oregon Standoff trial.  

That trial was the first "Bundy related" trial where we saw the prosecutors and judge trying to manipulate what was said and how many witnesses allowed, evidence etc. to ensure convictions of defendants.

At a phone hearing yesterday in Las Vegas, it was agreed that Ryan Payne, currently on a GPS monitor, will surrender himself to federal authorities in Portland by Noon tomorrow.   He will have a  hearing January 23rd with sentencing set for February 27th.

Meanwhile we still have no firm word on what the Justice Department will do in response to the dismissal of charges by Judge Navarro for the four defendants on Monday.  Defense lawyers said in the weeks before her decision they expected an appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Also, Judge Navarro is now indicating that the four men not tried yet over Bunkerville can go on trial February 26th.   With all the evidence now released, she sees no reason that Dave Bundy, Mel Bundy, Joe O'Shaughnessy and Jason Woods cannot go on trial then.
