Judicial Tyranny in Montana Marches On: Montana Supreme Court Upholds Unconstitutional Law, Effectively Shuts Down Medical Marijuana in State


"Where-ever law ends, tyranny begins, if the law be transgressed to another’s harm; and whosoever in authority exceeds the power given him by the law, and makes use of the force he has under his command, to compass that upon the subject, which the law allows not, ceases in that to be a magistrate; and, acting without authority, may be opposed, as any other man, who by force invades the right of another." - John Locke

A years-long court battle between the STATE OF MONTANA and We the People came to a climax on Thursday when the Montana Supreme Court finally ruled on the 'legality' of a law enacted by the legislature in 2010, which had placed such ludicrous restrictions on the medical marijuana industry that it effectively repealed Montana's voter-enacted medical marijuana program. “District Judge James Reynolds [had] blocked the restrictions as unconstitutional in 2011, and again in 2012, when the state's high court ordered him to use a different standard of review.”(Billings Gazette) 

Not surprisingly, that same high court ruled in favor of the State rather than the People, in a decision which upholds this unconstitutional law, violates the first, fourth amendments & ninth amendments, and utterly disregards the will & the well-being of the People of Montana. The court struck down the most absurd provision in this law – that medical providers could not make money for their services – but most were upheld: “providers can only sell to a maximum of three patients, they cannot advertise, no one on probation can hold a medical marijuana license and state officials can inspect a provider's business without a warrant.”(NBC) Doctors who recommend the drug to more than 25 patients in a year will also be automatically reviewed. 

This is a blatant, overt attack on the free market. The State is sending a message to the People: 'We're not banning medical marijuana - We'll even let you run a business selling it... But if you do, you are limited to three clients, you may not advertise, we will violate your fourth amendment rights at any time for any reason; and if you are on probation, we revoke your right to, and will deny access to your medicine!' Now imagine if these sorts of limits were placed on any of the truly HARMFUL, HIGHLY ADDICTIVE & DEADLY LEGAL FDA APPROVED PRESCRIPTION DRUGS (the leading cause of death by drug overdose) or the doctors prescribing them. Imagine pharmaceutical companies banned from advertising, pharmacies limited to filling prescriptions for only 3 patients per drug at a time, and doctors who are risking their medical license if they prescribe any single medication to more than 25 patients in a year. The AMA, FDA, Big Pharma, elected officials, and hundreds of thousands of people would be up in arms overnight!

Why isn't the State banning all the big pharmaceutical companies from advertising all their dangerous & highly addictive manufactured poisons, but must restrict alternative natural medicines out of existence? It is because a group of oligarch families - elite international bankers - have systematically and effectively eliminated competition under the deceptive guise of a free enterprise system, with Big Pharma & the FDA actively participating in the perpetration of this criminal conspiracy - this mass deception standing in opposition to both a free market as well as free & healthy citizens.

On Thursday, there were dozens of successful small businesses (medical marijuana dispensaries) and hundreds of honest, peaceful Montanans making a living in a thriving industry which is providing safe and legal high-quality medical marijuana to patients, as well as many jobs in a flailing economy. Today, those prosperous businesses have become 'illegal' and dispensary owners across the state are announcing going out of business discount sales, voicing their intention to close up shop once their inventory runs out. There will be about two weeks before this ruling is officially filed, and will legally take effect.

As things stand now, hundreds of Montanans will soon be without jobs, while thousands of patients will be unable to get their medicine unless they grow their own plants or are willing to revert to the 'black market'. And while this blatant attack on the free market and the Rights of the People will do nothing to stop marijuana use by recreational users and many of the thousands of medical card-holders, it will most definitely hinder the only patients whom both the State & the People recognize as those who truly NEED it, from access to their medicine. Like always, it is especially the weak, the sick, the poor, and the disadvantaged who are most victimized by the oppressive acts of our corrupt government.

The high court of Montana – by the decision of only six men (in a 6-1 vote with only one justice dissenting), and with the approval of the Attorney General's Office – has given legal authorization to the entire State and all its agencies (the police and courts) to harass, rob and jail countless more peaceful & law-abiding citizens throughout Montana. They have been given the power to charge even more nonviolent 'criminals' as felons than they already do.

"The only complete dissent came from Justice Mike Wheat, who said the state went too far in curbing alleged abuses of the law and had restricted patients' access to marijuana so severely that it "ultimately destroys the law's purpose."" - KTVQ

"Twenty-three states now have medical marijuana or recreational use laws, and we are making it so difficult that only well-to-do people can find providers," Jim Goetz, the plaintiff's attorney said. "Yesterday, there were 23 states providing for either full recreational use or medical use of marijuana - Today, we have 22½." - NBC, AP
      
Those who ignore the court's ruling or engage in acts of civil disobedience and continue to provide marijuana to more than three patients will be viewed as criminals by the State. The Attorney General's Office of Tim Fox applauds this willful disregard for the law, and for the interests and intentions of the People voiced by a considerable majority of voters (62%) in 2004. According to NBC, Spokesman John Barnes said, "The Attorney General's Office is grateful to the justices for upholding the rule of law in recognizing it's the legislature's rightful purview to set state policy on this issue." Tim Fox apparently believes that it is the State's rightful purview to override the will and rights of the People. And this is what his office describes as upholding the rule-of-law? Recognizing that our elected public servants know better than WE the People, what is best for WE the People? That is simply the recognition of tyranny and denial of individual liberty.

Further, Tim Fox has so far been unwilling to approve a ballot for signature gathering which would demand that the 2011 law be repealed, while at the same time allowing an initiative which would repeal the 2004 voter initiative and fully criminalize medical marijuana in Montana again. And yet there are also two other approved initiatives already collecting signatures, which would allow Montanans to vote for the complete legalization of adult recreational marijuana use for the first time. In their latest actions, the Montana Department of (In)Justice may have actually just unwittingly provided all that was needed to cause the outrage necessary to get this issue on the ballot. Citizens across the state are rightfully outraged at these actions and speaking out about it. Both yesterday and today there was a demonstration in Billings at Rimrock Auto, owned by Steve Zawala, who runs this anti-freedom organization/website engaging in GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA and DECEPTION.

"If they won't give us medical, let's give them recreational," the marijuana advocates are now saying. Legalization is already here in this country, and it is coming to Montana. America is waking up to the government lies surrounding marijuana prohibition, the war on drugs, and the prison industrial complex. It is a proven fact that there are legitimate medical uses for marijuana, and yet there are people in this State (like Steve Zawala) who believe they have the right to force their morality on you and me at gunpoint, and who are willing to spend their time and energy to try and make a natural plant illegal and to keep seriously ill patients from their medication of choice, a flower. How long will our corrupt Montana government and all their minions be able to keep their grip on this web of deception and oppression? Because it's not just about cannabis. The tyranny & corruption within the Montana Department of (In)Justice extend far beyond the issues of medical marijuana and the ninth and tenth amendments. Listen to just two victims of this corrupt, evil system:

The State of Montana is acting completely outside of law and the constitution of the United States of America and this is not the first time.
The State of Montana does this SAME THING, this same way to any blogger who dares to expose corruption in the State of Montana.
Blogging is a constitutionally protected activity, yet Montana courts uses unconstitutional protective orders to shut down blogs, stop tweet and STOP the flow of information online that reports on corruption in Government in the State of Montana.”
(via Hamilton Montana News)
...
It is all part of a program at the University of Montana and other Universities to pay Bloggers to harass Whistleblowers and to Retaliate in the EXTREME to try and SHUT us UP, Jail Us, ruin our lives, set us up for crimes, ruin our family connections and businesses and ALL to Protect Corruption in Montana. Corrupt Judges, Cops, Attorneys, Governors, Commissioners, Senators and to protect the University of Montana and their blatant ignoring RAPE and other crimes committed by people under their watch or paid by them.”- Crystal L. Cox, independent journalist exposing Montana corruption

I have been producing and directing a documentary film (Lawless America). … The Movie is all about exposing the fact that we now live in Lawless America. We no longer have laws that are enforced because judges do whatever they want to do. America has also become lawless because government officials are dishonest and/or corrupt.
...
The State of Montana has filed five criminal charges against me for allegedly sending a Tweet, publishing the name of the would-be killer (S*** B******)1 four times, sending a legal notice email to a University of Montana attorney, and filming the movie and the pilot for a TV show that will expose Montana as the most corrupt state in the country.” - Bill Windsor, held 134 days behind bars while unlawfully being denied reasonable bail, which at its highest was set at over one million, all for a tweet he allegedly posted and because of corrupt Montana Judges hell-bent on silencing the truth.

(1. On 4/26/16, I was threatened by a "John Moses Browning" for including this name in the quote, just as it appeared in the source I was quoting. Since I am unable to verify the accusations of Bill Windsor, I am removing the name as requested - 5/25/16.)

The story of Bill Windsor really has nothing to do with the story of medical marijuana in Montana, and at the same time both these sagas have absolutely everything to do with each other, as they both tell the same story – the story of a corrupt & tyrannical power-hungry government, protected by the CORRUPT Montana Department of INjustice currently headed by Attorney General Tim Fox. In mid-February, Bill Windsor appealed to Tim Fox for help in exposing this corruption, and finished that letter by saying, “Please investigate. Please don't be yet another corrupt elected official.”

Based on the Attorney General's response/statement regarding the unconstitutional ruling by the Supreme Court on Thursday, we can only hope that he will stop protecting this corrupt and tyrannical INjustice system. We certainly can't expect it. Tim Fox: Will you come to the aid of this brave American, who is standing up for thousands more of these innocent victims of this corrupt system all across America, or are you just another corrupt elected official? Tim Fox: How much tyranny are you willing to protect, and how many lives are you willing to allow to be destroyed by protecting this corruption, and by supporting the recent unconstitutional and oppressive ruling by the Supreme Court?

Both the federal prohibition of marijuana and the ensuing war on drugs were built upon a mountain of lies, and the only things they have accomplished in taking away are the rights, property & lives of peaceful Americans – not drugs or crime; while for-profit prisons continue to fill up with the victims of this oppressive system: The innocent, political prisoners, and all the nonviolent 'criminals' who don't pose a threat to anyone. There is a much bigger picture here and it isn't about marijuana, but about Rights – about State's Rights and about the People's Rights – about the ninth and tenth amendments of the Constitution – about the supreme law of the land – about standing up for justice, peace, and the rule of law in a Lawless America run by a Criminal Government. It is time to raise our voices in unity against this system of injustice:

"Your corruption is like a cancer growing inside. You owe the world an apology. You've been taught all your life that truth is easy to hide. You'll face you're judgement another day, and suffer eternally. ... Justice fails again in the masquerade. Has the whole world become insane?" - Disturbed, Innocent

To anyone who opposes the legalization of recreational marijuana in Montana, or supports the prohibition of marijuana for even medical purposes; I challenge you to look at the facts, the history, the victims, and the fundamental immorality of marijuana prohibition & the federal “war on drugs” - available at the links below. 

Let us cast off the lies and misinformation, the government and media insanity, and start listening to voices of reason. We need to stop allowing the media to divide us and unite in opposition to the real criminals, and in defense of justice. In the spirit of John Locke, I leave you with the words of Ron Paul, a true voice of reason in this world of madness.

The drug war encourages violence. Government violence against nonviolent users is notorious and has led to the unnecessary prison overpopulation. Innocent taxpayers are forced to pay for all this so-called justice."
We have promoted a foolish and very expensive domestic war on drugs for more than 30 years. It has done no good whatsoever.”

The Ambush and Murder of LaVoy Finicum: The Shot Not Yet Heard Around the World


“How strangely will the tools of a tyrant pervert the plain meaning of words.” - Samuel Adams

“There is no such thing as an independent press in America, unless it is in the country towns. You know it and I know it. ... The business of the New York journalist is to destroy truth; … We are the tools and vessels for rich men behind the scenes. We are intellectual prostitutes.” - John Swinton, editor, New York Tribune 

 
On January 26th, 54 year old Robert 'LaVoy' Finicum was shot dead by American law enforcement at a joint Oregon State Police/FBI road block on the side of a remote highway in Harney County, Oregon. The media has covered up the truth about this shooting, and is now attempting to hide it by burying the story.


"We are going to impose our agenda on the coverage by dealing with issues and subjects that we choose to deal with." - Richard M. Cohen, Senior Producer of CBS political news. 



The Two Stories


 "And you're going to tell me that LaVoy Finicum, charging at officers, heavily armed, and who had done a video saying how he would kill them, did not have it coming – that he's the martyr? … The only way you could possibly believe that is if you say, “I don't care about the facts – I just want my side,”". - The Young Turks
----
“He got out of the car [with] his hands in the air. ... They shot him right there and he was just walking with his hands in the air; I saw it, I swear to God, just walking with his hands in the air and they shot him – they shot him dead, and then after he was down on the ground they shot him three more times and then they bombarded our vehicle with bullets,” - Victoria Sharp, eyewitness to the shooting

So, who is the liar here - three eyewitnesses, or the FBI & the mass media which keeps changing their story?


 
"When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic." - Dresden James 




“The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.” - Henry Louis Mencken




 

I have been following this story very closely from the evening it happened until now. It has not been an easy task attempting to uncover the truth about this shooting. I have spent hours looking at the evidence as it becomes available, and have come to my conclusions based on the available facts. The only evidence released by the authorities as of now is FBI video surveillance drone footage, without audio. No audio, photo, or any other video footage has been released. If the official story were the truth, then the release of any such evidence would quickly put to rest all the “conspiracy theories” that LaVoy was murdered in cold blood with his hands in the air, but as of two weeks since the shooting nothing more has yet been released by the authorities.

There are two clear and concise non-contradictory eyewitness accounts of the murder (Victoria Sharp and Shawna Cox) whose statements are corroborated by a third witness account (Ammon Bundy) as well as the FBI video drone footage. The video footage, though at a bad angle, actually helps validate Victoria's testimony, as does Shawna's later testimony, but the media ignores the only eyewitnesses and has effectively discredited Victoria's testimony. The media has also lied about the character and intentions of these men and continues to slander them when they are not busy ignoring the story all-together.

The OSP/FBI had a very strong and clear motive to kill LaVoy and to keep the men in those vehicles from reaching the meeting they were headed to, and that is exactly what they accomplished. According to the witnesses, it was a setup and an ambush, but the media is reporting that it was a “traffic stop” despite the fact that traffic stops do not involve road blocks which take time and planning to setup. There were over 100 rounds fired, all by the authorities, and yet they are reporting that only three shots were fired, that it was a “shoot out” and that “it is unclear who fired first”. The eyewitnesses testify that no one in the vehicle ever even touched their weapon, nor were there any rifles in the truck as they were not “heavily armed”.

At the time of the shooting, these men and women were on the way to a meeting in the town of John Day in neighboring Grant County where approximately 200-400 locals were waiting to hear LaVoy, Ammon, the local rancher who organized the meeting, and Grant County Sheriff Palmer speak. Through the message spread by LaVoy and Ammon, too many people were beginning to become aware of the unconstitutional nature of federal land “ownership” within the several states, the unlawful practices of the BLM in regards to land management in the west, and the widespread corruption within the U.S. Court system highlighted by the injustices done against the Hammond family in Harney County, Oregon. The authorities were beginning to fear the people, and they needed to put an end to their corruption & evil deeds being exposed.

According to Koine 6 News, “Oregon’s US senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley...met with FBI Director James Comey” on the day before the shooting, where “Wyden said the standoff was “a situation where the virus was spreading,” and action needed to be taken.” This “virus” is truth in the hands of Americans - the message of freedom and justice LaVoy died for. Oregon Governor Kate Brown “said she has complained to the Justice Department and White House. "Federal authorities must move quickly to end the occupation and hold all of the wrongdoers accountable," Brown said. "The spectacle of lawlessness must end."

But the true spectacle of lawlessness was seen in the actions of the OSP & FBI in their ambush and murder of LaVoy Finicum set into motion by the demands of governor Kate Brown & senator Ron Wyden, as well as in the unlawful and unjust actions of the U.S. (In)justice system against the Hammonds; while the true virus in this country is not liberty, truth and dissent, but the rampant corruption permeating the courts like a cancer which has spread to every part of the body.
It is also worth noting that it is well-documented by the media that governor Kate Brown had spoken with president Obama at a meeting about three months before the ambush, where USA Today reported that, “After meeting with those directly affected, Obama told the governor that if there were anything he could do to help at the federal level, he would do it.” 


 At least two local witnesses also testify to these facts as the motive for a pre-planned ambush and murder. The local rancher who organized the meeting said that “They were scared to death of them speaking at my meeting,...and the people need to know the truth about this. … It's evident that the government is scared to death that the people are going to understand what their rights are”. Sheriff Palmer commented: “FBI and OSP know me…and they know I wouldn’t have allowed” their operation which “is why I think they did it in Harney County. I believe they also did this to keep them from getting a tentacle into this county and from spreading as they were getting traction and momentum.” (Recovered 1/28/2016 in text message records published from a screen shot of Palmer's iPhone)

The government had a clear motive to kill LaVoy as he was the de facto spokesman of the group, he was effective, and he didn't fear the corrupt and evil men in power. History repeats itself, and I see this as a timeless truth shown throughout history, that those who stand up and speak truth to corrupt and powerful men naturally tend to become murder targets of these same evil men.

"Truth: the most deadly weapon ever discovered by humanity. ... Outlawed by all governments everywhere. Possession is normally punishable by death." - John Gilmore

As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me, a man who has told you the truth,” - Jesus the Nazarene

“[The actions of the OSP/FBI] is evidence that they had every intention of killing us. They don't want us to live.” - Shawna Cox, eyewitness to the shooting

All this evidence points to the conclusion that this was not simply an unjustified killing but a pre-planned murder. That the media is going to such lengths to cover up the truth also points to that conclusion. This is about the truth: Not only the truth about Finicum's death, but the truth that our government will stop at nothing - not even the murder of an unarmed peaceful man - to ensure that the truth regarding their evil, their tyranny, their corruption and their widespread deceit does not get exposed.


“For any who feel he was a criminal, like those who felt Moses and Jesus were criminals, I would implore you to investigate the peaceful work that Lavoy did in his life from the Bundy Ranch where thousands protested without a shot fired, to today in Oregon, where the shots fired came from the government at an unarmed Lavoy Finicum.

He will either be the first of many to stand up against the corrupt government we have created or he will be the last to stand. Time will tell.”
- Nevada Assemblywoman Shelly Shelton, via Facebook

The outcome depends on whether Americans decide to stand up for freedom and justice and demand the truth, or whether they will continue to blindly believe the lies as they are silently led into slavery.


“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” - Thomas Jefferson
"Wake up. Open your eyes. America, you have a revolution on your hands." - LaVoy Finicum

The Second American Revolution has already begun. Not only is an innocent man dead, but about eight others are sitting in jail being denied bail on the basis that they are “flight risks” and “a danger to the public”, and are facing up to six years in federal prison for standing up against tyranny and injustice. In total, sixteen Americans have now been indicted, including Shawna Cox and four others who were still camping at the refuge until they peacefully surrendered, and are now too in jail. Dwight and Steven Hammond are currently serving five year prison sentences for “terrorism”, for a harmless “crime” to which they have already served the original prison time initially prescribed by the judge. These are but a few of the thousands of victims of this corrupt system, but their voice has been heard.


Justice is not being served, corruption within the U.S. (In)justice system continues to run rampant, and tyranny marches on. The First American Revolution began with “the shot heard 'round the world”. This time, that shot was not heard around the world, and if we do nothing it never will be. It is now up to the American people as to which voice will prevail - mass deception, or the truth?

“Therefore you should not fear them. For nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be made known. What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, proclaim upon the housetops.” - Jesus the Nazarene

“They think I'll stop working on it, and it'll be forgotten. That's what they think. But I want the truth. I want my life. But they keep on taking it. So I'm gonna keep on working, even if it's wrong. I ain't gonna give up. When you know you're innocent, you will keep on going. The truth always comes out sooner or later.” - Steven Avery, 2015 (serving a life sentence in prison) – Making a Murderer, Netflix
