Federal Domestic Abuse

Federal Domestic Abuse – the Political Ruin of 30,000 Montanans

And Confiscation of 350,000 Others’ Property Interests.

            At least since 1998 and likely sometime sooner, federal and tribal officials were coercing State leaders into submission to surrender major protections of natural resources, property rights, water rights, Constitutional and civil rights of Montanans. A 1998 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed then by Chris Tweeten for the State, of 2011-2015 Water fame and notoriety, as well as tribal and federal officials created the poison potion for the Flathead Reservation property owners to consume.  With the recipe in place, the instructions for administering the concoction were laid out by the CSKT Tribe in a 2001 Proposal for Negotiations.  And they were followed – to the letter over the next 17 years. Within these two documents many years ago was the plan and path to minimize the voice and silence those most directly impacted—property owners within the Flathead Reservation, 80% of whom are non-tribal citizens of the State.

            Most of those directly harmed were entirely unaware that from 1998 to 2011 the federal jackboot was being crafted by numerous federal, state and tribal entities. A thirteen-year head start of multiple agencies that withheld public information for this period of time, certainly gave the feds, tribes and state profound leverage over a few courageous citizens asking questions or voicing concerns.

            It is 2015 now.  Farmers, irrigators, landowners within the Flathead Reservation have lost control or any voice over everything necessary to produce life on their lands. The Tribe has 100% control of access to water. The Bureau of Indian Affairs controls the operation and maintenance of the irrigation districts. The federal government and tribe entirely control the former Kerr dam, with no reporting requirements, and no scrutiny of its public safety. The Bureau of Indian Affairs owns the Mission Valley Power Company that provides electricity to all households and lands within the reservation, and is operated by the tribe. Oh, and the tribe has no duty to non-tribal citizens or to keep America safe.  An unaccountable federal monopoly now controls life on non-Indian lands in Western Montana.

The Secretary of Interior has the last word on the Flathead Indian Reservation for water, power and irrigation. Not the Governor, not the State. Farmers and cattlemen fully know that life doesn’t happen on land without power and irrigation. And it’s the feds and tribes that will now arbitrarily set all rates for each—water and power, answering to no one, not the ratepayers or even the State’s Public Services Commission (PSC). It is the CSKT that no longer contributes to county and school district economic needs, so a substantial tax burden now shifts to the landowners as well. Water rates will go up; irrigation rates will go up; power rates will go up; taxes will go up.  This final economic squeeze is a foregone conclusion—it is a dead certainty.  The only things going down will be business income, household income, and land values. All of this is against the law. In the mid-80s a mission of the CSKT was to remove all non-Indians (approximately 30,000) from the reservation by 2030 “by any means necessary.” The stage is surely set.

             Throughout this seventeen year period, during which landowners have been slowly bullied, demeaned and silenced, the State of Montana has made no effort, whatsoever, to protect its citizens and their collective right to own and enjoy the state’s natural (water) resources, for which the state is held legally responsible as a fiduciary under the public trust doctrine. Few attorneys, if any, have lifted a finger to assist the property owners. Public meetings were mere theater, feigned to pretend that any citizen voice mattered. The song sheets of the 1998 MOU and the 2001 CSKT Settlement Negotiation Protocols have been followed to the tune without missing a note or a beat.

 Narrowly customized “help” was provided to the Flathead Joint Board of Irrigators (FJBC), keeping conversations limited to in-stream flows and not much else. Efforts by FJBC advisors have intentionally kept chronic divisiveness and dysfunction within the FJBC Board. These nine fine Board members all deeply believe in the FJBC, are landowners and irrigators themselves, but pitted against each other could cause the collapse of the FJBC.  Apparently, the federal and state governments’ objective have long been to facilitate the failure of the FJBC so that the CSKT Water Compact can succeed. A well-functioning FJBC is a direct obstacle to successful CSKT Water Compact implementation. The FJBC and everyone must lose for the CSKT Water Compact to succeed. The plan set twenty years ago has wrought great fear and pain to truly fine Montanans.

            To be blunt, the Interior Department and its Bureau of Indian Affairs now serve as pimps for federally recognized tribes, including the CSKT, who willingly submit themselves before the congressional and executive alters as “dependent” sovereigns to ensure rapid expansion of their “sovereignty” and legal jurisdiction over non-tribal lands, waters and persons; and the State of Montana is a willing and compliant customer, leaving an additional $55 million in State taxpayer dollars on the dresser. Indeed, while the State and Federal government lie comfortably together behind closed doors, the citizens of Montana have publicly had their dearly held private property rights pick-pocketed and transferred to others.

            The State government has paid little heed to the printed words within the Montana Constitution or within the four corners of the federal Constitution, including the Tenth and Fourteenth Amendments and the Bill of Rights. Abandoned by their guaranteed representative government, good Montana people will be forced to move out and move on. The seven or eight Montana tribes will stand to devour the remainder of the physical State, as Montana’s governing institutions and structure increasingly become puppetry to implement federal directives for even greater tribal sovereignty and jurisdiction.  

            Want proof that this intentional theft of property owners’ interests have not been entirely orchestrated and maneuvered by the federal government and its operatives on the ground in Montana?  One small group of citizens engaged legal counsel to get their voices heard by the courts and federal agencies, and to claim their rightful due process, equal protection and property rights. And these folks are now painted as Enemy Number One. How dare a few property owners seek to protect their interests and their livelihoods? Those unable or unwilling to support these landowners remind me of the beaten wife contacted by domestic abuse counseling services that offer to help, but she sees them as bringing more trouble to her door, until she’s found dead in her home.

Governor Bullock, and Attorney General Fox:  Should Flathead Reservation land and water owners just lie down and drink the poison? How does that comport with your Oaths of Office? Who would have thought Montana, of all states, would succumb to such federal domestic abuse of the State, and then conspire with the federal government to deny its citizens’ State Constitutional protections of private property, water rights, and due process procedural rights?

Absent support from the State of Montana or any current federal government entity, and in spite of serious demeaning and intimidation, some courageous property owners will eventually have their day in court.  And that is a good and necessary thing if property rights and due process are to exist for citizens anywhere in Montana today or tomorrow.

Elaine Willman - Tribalism in America

The Spreading Epidemic of Tribalism

The Spreading Epidemic of Tribalism

By Elaine Willman, Author

Going To Pieces..

“Officials in a small Montana town say they will have to disincorporate the community or declare bankruptcy over an ongoing dispute with the Blackfeet Tribe about water and utility service…lawsuits filed by the Blackfeet Tribe, Two Medicine Water Company and certain tribal members have had the same goal: to eliminate the Town of Browning by bleeding it financially dry, officials reported.”

                                                                                                                                Missoulian, Dec. 25, 2015

A similar fate once threatened the Village of Hobart, Wisconsin, and now threatens Shawnee, Oklahoma and many other communities . So what is the problem with removing municipal government for tribal government jurisdiction?  Tribal governments do not allow non-tribal residents any voice in their government, and have no duty to protect or serve them. Tribes just want to tax, govern or chase non-Indians away. Rightful government of American citizens on Indian reservations is gone when states, counties and towns spinelessly give up.

More serious is enormous escalation of tribal governance over non-tribal persons, businesses and properties resulting in the removal of State authority and responsibility for its citizens. Citizens are losing their government when they succumb to bullying, name-calling, frivolous litigation, appeasement, and acquiescence to every tribal demand. The price is the loss of government that serves and protects you – the United States and State Constitutions.

                Every Indian reservation is co-located within states, multiple counties and numerous towns. Among the 566 federally recognized tribes, some 340 Indian reservations are located directly within or near urban areas as well. Only two or three Indian reservations are predominantly populated with Indians. The vast majority of reservations are home to a large non-Indian population. Congress intended and fully opened Indian reservations to encourage settling of the West, and citizenship for Indians. That is the reality federal, state, local and tribal governments now find unacceptable.

Early Indian treaties executed by either the Department of War or Secretary of Interior served two people and two purposes: to provide land and protection for Indian tribes and to keep the settlers safe. Every Indian Treaty has a clause requiring open public roads through reservations, and a clause requiring Indians to “cause no depredation” (harm) to settlers. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) originally looked to the well-being of all folks in the West, not just Indians until 1934. The Indian Reorganization Act was a paradigm shift for the BIA that from 1934 on, focused only on Indians, hired only Indians and facilitated expansion of tribal governance to the exclusion of state authority and citizen protections on reservations.

The Obama Administration poured accelerant into the expansion of tribalism with two recent, alarming policies: 1) President Obama decided that the nation’s public utilities, power and energy grid are good “economic development” for conversion to Indian tribal assets. Obama and Congress have funded billions of dollars out to tribes for transitioning major dams, energy corporations, and confiscation and control of water across the country. 2) Obama and Congress have determined that tribal government interactions with Middle Eastern countries is now a great idea for Indian “economic development” too (the Hearth Act of 2012).

Domestic tribalism and Middle Eastern tribalism have shared cultural norms (communalism) and a common adversary:  the United States. The White House views big Middle Eastern money (Turkey, Saudi Arabia, etc.) tucked away on private Indian tribal “trust” lands as good for Indians and America. Tribal trust land is off-limits to all state and local government eyes. Am I kidding?  No, we should be very concerned. For the doubtful, visit the www.aljazeera.com website to see how significantly America’s Indian tribes are being tracked and engaged. Just enter the search word “tribe.”

We will now have wealthy little Sharia compounds on Indian reservations to add to the 190 cities designated to receive Syrian refugees. Obama is polka-dotting the entire country with Sharia enclaves to enrich Indian tribes and reflect our generous heart for immigrants. Our blind, deaf and dormant Congress has held its nose and endorsed all of this.

Promises made by Congress to “Go West Young Man” were just as valid and perpetual as any promise made to Indian tribes. It was Young Man who built the first schools, churches, small towns, farms and ranches, all on the faith that Congress provided in Homestead and other Acts. Young Man built this country. For the past several decades, however, promises made to settlers and their descendants have been politically stained and reversed. America should not have sent Young Man West. Indian tribes want their reservations and “aboriginal lands” restored to their natural habitat. Every non-Indian should be shamefully sorry forever, and gone soon. The lack of appreciation for Young Man and coddling of tribal governments is chilling.

This is what pockets of apartheid now bolstered with more of the same from Middle Eastern countries are doing to America. This is what unequal, hyphenated-Americans and “cultural diversity” has created. “Americans” is a wrong and ugly word in its own country. I practice daily free thought, free speech and due process, and am keenly aware of my rights under the federal and state constitutions.  I absolutely refuse to tolerate that my own citizenship in this country is denounced as inferior to that of any other American citizen.

We have a growing national epidemic but the impacts first strike locally, in one zip code after another, one town after another, one county after another. It is coming to your front porch.

State, county and local governments within Indian reservations absolutely must stand tall no matter the severity of well-funded special tribal governments funded by you, to defeat you. States must act as fully separate Constitutional Sovereigns on equal footing with each other, and independent of the Federal government beyond its enumerated rights. Every single American, including tribal members living within or near and Indian reservation in 2016 must commit to “If you see something, say something.” We are either strong and equal citizens protecting ourselves and country, or the perfect storm is set to take us down sooner than we even know.

The Religion of Eugenics: Agenda 21 and Common Core Are Merely Death Cults in Disguise

Environmental Extremism

Environmental Extremism is a subject that in my own trained scientific objectivity, I cannot leave alone.  I know that I have beaten this drum before, but bogus man-caused Global Warming has become the greatest scientific scam ever perpetrated by worldwide governments upon their own peoples.

Obama and his cronies feed upon its numerous profit-making opportunities, becoming millionaires after only a few years in public office. Opportunist Al Gore authored only a half-dozen or so books on global warming, yet elevated his net worth to over ten-million dollars. He simply charges liberals readmission to hear his same disinformation, so dear to their liberal-biased perspective, over and over again. However unthinking, his timeworn speeches still draw large paying liberal audiences. I presume that this currently irrational process will eventually fade in time, unlike their irreversible body tattoos, to be  replaced by some equally fashionable liberal drive to display their intellectual conformance.

There's another profit-making scenario. The US government under Obama invested millions of taxpayer dollars into questionable start-up green-energy companies, exemplified by Solyndra (now bankrupt and defunct). The government's apparent endorsement of Solyndra, an obvious confidence-booster for investors, drove Solyndra's stock price skyward virtually overnight. Democrat US congressman and other elite Progressive insiders, all bought-in as the stock price rose, then all bailed out or sold short when it became apparent to insider investors that Solyndra's highly touted technology presented no actual substance. With this scenario repeating itself  as many times as possible, Obama and his corrupt congressional fat-cats became very rich on the backs of misinformed, gullible public investors.

Such 'insider trading' is strictly forbidden under the 1934 Securities Exchange Act. Over the years, many Wall Street traders have gone to federal prison for lesser 'insder trading' offenses. If we had a real Attorney General at the time, instead of Obama's cohort Eric Holder, offenders would have been vigorously prosecuted under existing Federal law. One of the reasons Eric Holder left office earlier than Obama is because he knows that he may yet face Federal indictment for his failure to prosecute SEC law violations and other constitutional offences.

EPA Environmental Extremism

I must assume that the EPA just discovered that the earth's atmosphere contains much more water vapor than harmless Carbon Dioxide. In fact, water vapor is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO₂ and there is twenty times as much of it in earth's atmosphere. When visible water vapor obscures the earth's surface (like with clouds), the sun's warming rays are reflected back into space. You would think that this should be a simple natural process to comprehend, even for Obama's single-minded EPA.

Opportunist Al Gore and Obama's bought and paid-for climatologists tell us that earth's polar ice packs are rapidly melting, when in fact they are currently refreezing rapidly. Recent NASA photos from space illustrate this dramatically. It's been reliably reported that in their desperation, Obama's government-funded scientists are now blatantly skewing NASA's legitimately recorded climate data in order to perpetuate Obama's man-caused global warming myth.

The sun has now passed the peak of it's eleven-year increased radiation cycle. Good news! Al Gore's polar bears have been spared, and now they're devouring tasty seals again out on the north polar icepack. Residents of Churchill in northern Canada on the Artic Ocean will be most relieved. Over the past decade, hungry Polar Bears have frequently broken into their homes in search of food. Churchill is the traditional Winter jumping-off point for Polar Bears.

Highly reflective polar ice and snow reflect sunlight back into space, more so than clouds. This effect over time helps to compensate for the sun's natural cycles of warming and cooling, thus maintaining earth's atmospheric temperature stable overall. The earth's mean atmospheric temperature hasn't warmed perceptibly in going on eighteen years now. Obama, prove to us conclusively that the earth's atmosphere is rapidly growing warmer as you claim. Bogus testimony from your bought and paid for liberal academics is unconvincing, at the very least.

66,000 published legitimate scientists are now on record disputing your global warming claims.

Oceans cover seventy-one percent of earth's surface, and the sun's radiant energy continually evaporates staggering amounts of water from them. This atmospheric moisture content cools and  condenses to form clouds, and then these clouds release rain that keeps earth green and verdant. Without this natural cycle, earth's surface would dry up like a prune and mankind's vital food crops would perish.

In its infinite liberal wisdom, the EPA apparently now considers atmospheric moisture to be a global warming threat. It has reportedly crafted still another silly regulation to control the amount of waste steam ejected into the atmosphere by electrical power generation utilities and Chinese laundries. If it would just look skyward at all those voluminous clouds of naturally evaporated seawater, I would pray that there's still a chance that the EPA might finally realize the absurdity of its assumptions.

Earth's natural processes dwarf any contributions made by man. The same holds true for relatively miniscule amounts of harmless Carbon Dioxide emitted by planes, trains and automobiles. Perhaps the EPA will next attempt to contain massively greater CO₂ emissions from volcanoes and forest fires. A couple new EPA regulations should do the trick. Perhaps the EPA should bring self-proclaimed, but totally unaccredited, atmospheric scientist Al Gore on-board to help sell his totally fabricated assumptions to America's foolishly-receptive liberals. Ironically, so far, he's been very successful doing it.

Under the United Nations Rio Accords, unthinkingly endorsed by former President George W. Bush, the EPA is no longer required to prove with scientific evidence any assumptions regarding environmental peril. It may proceed freely with binding regulatory measures in the total absence of scientific confirmation of the perceived threat's validity. This inconceivably irrational concept has proven invaluable to the Obama Administration's ongoing promotion of its great global warming lie. It's estimated that overall, this single man-caused global-warming falsehood has cost America's economy over three-trillion dollars, with no end in sight. Do the math .That's about one-sixth of America's staggering debt today, over one-half of which has accrued since Barrack Obama entered presidential office only seven years ago.

Many members of Congress now recognize the need to rein in the EPA. It's about time. Some are demanding that Obama-appointed EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy be sacked. The EPA has been blatantly exceeding its authority, writing what amounts to laws instead of just regulations based upon law. Obama then employs his Justice Department to enforce these illegal laws. Under the US Constitution; only Congress may enact laws.

Does even Obama himself fully comprehend what he's been ordered to accomplish by the Socialist UN powers behind his administration? I doubt that very much. Now that there's an unpleasant end in sight for America, even George Soros, Obama's mentor and financier, recently donated 28 million dollars to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, just before "getting out of Dodge" himself and taking up residence in Switzerland for his own safety against US Government violence and oppression that will soon engulf America. He knows what Progressive Socialist Hillary Clinton will seek to impose upon America, even though her Democratic Party's mindless minions still haven't a clue what to expect.
