Was One Cowboy’s Last Stand for Freedom Meant to Establish a Committee of Safety?
Was Robert LaVoy Finicum’s main objective meeting with Sheriff Palmer, to establish a foundation for a “Committee of Safety” and the true objective for his trip to John Day, Oregon? Watch the full movie of “American Standoff” (in the Featured pull-down menu). LaVoy Finicum also left us his YouTube chronicles, thoughts, and experiences, anyone can look them up for themselves. The establishment of a Committee of Safety was most likely the original objective for the meeting in John Day Oregon upon Lavoy’s arrival. As we all know LaVoy Finicum never made it to John Day and was gunned down on the side of the road by the FBI and Oregon State Police before finishing his trip while on his way to speak with the Sheriff and 300 people at John Day awaiting his arrival.
To paraphrase LaVoy’s thoughts, he realized that the people cannot overcome printing presses that print money out of thin air and create agencies like The Bureau of Land Management with inexhaustible funds. LaVoy stated that “the Federal Government is enmeshed and entwined in every aspect of our lives”. Bureaucratic “agencies using gun-toting rangers” to force to restrict property rights. LaVoy Finicum stated: “The Federal Government has said to the west that we own and control your land”. Only informed freedom-loving people can counter overreaching agencies when all constitutional balances of the Federal Government fail and the States go along and ignore the injustices that are perpetrated upon their people. I believe LaVoy’s sacrifice was a stand for freedom. He perceived Hammond’s treatment as unjust under the “Anti-terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996”. This legislation was used against the Hammonds, innocent ranchers for back-burning, and declared arsonists and terrorists basically to steal their land, and their livelihoods. To LaVoy, the persecution of the Hammonds by a corrupted federal court system seemed way overboard, tipping the scales of justice to the extreme abyss of a chaotic lawless hell to achieve communist UN Agenda 21 goals. Most people, including silent government employees and law enforcement familiar with the case, agree that LaVoy was right and the Hammonds were treated unjustly. The West now has a man that could be considered an almost Biblical martyr, in whom no fault was found, a hero that willingly gave his life, to right an injustice and the cause of freedom despite how the media and/or the Feds try to spin it.
The Principles Freedom
Wherever I cause my name to be mentioned, “Yahweh” I will come to you and bless you!– Exodus 20:24. Americans believe that all people are equally free by nature—each has a free mind, and each has an equal right to freedom. Freedom and redemption from sin are premised upon fundamental principles and values in the Christain psychic, plus we all watched a lot of cowboy movies with good guys winning against the bad guys as we grew up! So that the reader knows and has an understanding of the truth, this story has some Latter-Day Saints (LDS) underpinnings because LaVoy and the Bundy’s are both LDS members, however, the support seems to be a good mix of different religious beliefs and the underlying principles are the same. This could be significant because of the population demographics and the amazing organizational structure of the church. The author has no affiliation with the LDS church or their faith but does associate, understand and respect their morality and spiritual stance. I believe that all faiths will be sympathetic to this story because of the injustice to the Hammonds and the obvious assassination of LaVoy. The principles of Freedom and Self-government are of Christain in Origen and doctrines are embedded in Christian beliefs, these principles are often rejected by the public education system and the Fake liberal-leaning mainstream media. This has created a generation of educated useful dupes and ideological Marxist infidels. America seems to be on the way to an authoritarian Marxist-like utopia and some couldn’t care less, as long as they still have WiFi.
Putting government control in the hands of the people by establishing a Committee of Safety was a key idea to Government by the people and for the people and was a radical idea in 1776. Freedom was achieved in the past but today would be almost impossible unless we chuck the cell phones and give up a lot of conveniences. To my amazement and bewilderment, the concept of self-government can be even a more radical idea today. I believe the shock of Robert LaVoy’s brutal murder and the roundup and arrests of those that participated, produced amnesia of the original objectives of establishing the Committee of Correspondence and Committee’s of Safety’s. I believe Robert LaVoy Finicum without fear or reservation on a mission yes, you could say, a mission from God! LaVoy willingly gave his life distracting armed attackers from the passengers in his vehicle while on his mission to see Sheriff Glenn Palmer to begin the Safety Committee process in the town of John Day, Grant County, Oregon.
Harney County
The Harney County Committee of Safety was already established in the town of Burns, Oregon. While the town of Burns was under a military-like occupation with roadblocks, swarms of the FBI, heavy equipment, and agents toting machine guns, the Safety committee was looking for a meeting place. The Bundy’s Protest and occupation at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge for Bundy’s redress of grievances were located 30 miles away from the town of Burns. The siege of the town of Burns, Oregon looked like the occupation of Baghdad during the invasion. The zoo-like occupation was good for business, however.
By Andrew Selsky, “Co-worker Linda Gainer said the business she got from journalists, agents, occupiers, protesters against the occupation, and from protesters protesting the protesters, more than made up for any slower days”.
Harney County Judge, Steve Grasty denied citizen groups from using county buildings and intimidated people from setting up their own public meetings. Grasty got help from the appointed (not yet elected), Sheriff Ward who assisted Judge Grasty. Grasty believed Bundy was organizing the meetings, so Grasty and the Sheriff interfered with the people trying to organize a Committee of Safety. Grasty later received a recall for interfering with citizens’ rights of free speech and freedom of assembly but the recall failed. The county government did not need help from the FBI to protect against the occupation in the wilderness but seemed more concerned with stopping the people of Harney County from organizing despite a good deal were government employees. The Bundys were at the Malheur National Refuge Buildings in the wilderness 30 miles from the FBI military occupation of Burns. The Bundy’s were probably wondering what was going on down the road in Burns?
Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward arrived at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge on the 6th day of the Bundy/FBI occupation. Sheriff Ward personally offered Ammon Bundy and his followers a safe escort to the state line. Ammon Bundy stated that the people’s written redress of grievance is still being ignored and that he did not wish to leave until the petition of redress was addressed by representatives. Bundy asked the Sheriff if he was willing to address the redress of grievances. Sheriff Ward stated that he was only there to give safe conduct out so that he could get back to his family and friends. Bundy stated that he and his followers posed no threat to the town of Burns or the county and that we are being peaceful. The Sheriff stated that “I know but it would only take one unstable person to show up. Ammon Bundy and the Sheriff Wards shook hands and went their separate ways.
What is a Committee of Safety?
Americans took control back from the English officials during the American War of Independence through the Committee of Safety and organized the unorganized militias, (All abled-bodied men 18-45) ensuring that the military would always be under civilian control. A Committee of Safety oversaw fair elections within the precincts and could even call and establish Grand Juries’ investigations, call for new elections and appoint officials. The Committee of Safety could establish and/or form other committees and act with the help and aid of the elected Sheriff. A Committee of Safety could call out the militia when necessary, arrange for the help of those that needed immediate assistance and even attend to the welfare and care of people to make sure that they maintained the peace and dignity essential during the civil upheaval.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia “In the American Revolution, the committees of correspondence, committees of inspection (also known as committees of observation), and committee of safety were different local committees of Patriots that became a shadow government; they took control of the Thirteen Colonies away from royal officials, who became increasingly helpless.[1]In Massachusetts, as affairs drew toward a crisis, it became usual for towns to appoint three committees: of correspondence, of inspection, and of safety.[2] The first was to keep the community informed of dangers either legislative or executive, and concert measures of public good; the second to watch for violations of non-importation agreements, or attempts of loyalists to evade them; the third to act as general executive while the legal authority was in abeyance. In February 1776 these were regularly legalized by the Massachusetts General Court but consolidated into one called the “Committee of Correspondence, Inspection, and Safety” to be elected annually by the towns.”
Ranchers or Terrorists
Real or Perceived, After the first Bunkerville incident, Ranchers concluded Government agents were conspiring to steal land by persecuting ranchers in a massive land grab coordinated with the Federal Court System, the FBI, Bureau of Land Management, alphabet agencies, and the Department of the Interior. The Government Majority Senate Leader with the help of fake news media and Federal Courts (Senator Herry Reid’s words) Real or Perceived that all “Ranchers who resist should be considered Terrorists.” The characters in this cowboy movie didn’t wear black hats, it was a little more complicated. The Hammonds probably didn’t realize what hit them when they in good faith gave up their rights for a fair judgment in the Federal Courts for lighting a back burn to save their winter pastures that burned one acre of BLM land 10 years ago.
After the Hammonds served their original sentence, the Ninth Circuit Federal Court vacated the original sentence and remanded to re-sentencing, the ranchers by an appeal back to their own district court overriding their own Judges adjudication, (mind boggling-isn’t it?), the second sentence for the same crime, Dwight Lincoln Hammond, Jr., 73 and his son Steven Dwight Hammond, 46. The district court subsequently re-sentenced both Hammonds to the mandatory minimum of five years in prison under the new “Anti-terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996”, putting the Hammonds in double jeopardy, flagrantly using Color of Law, and sending chills up the spine of law-abiding citizens. Two separate sentences for the same, so-called –crime — after serving the original sentence for simply back-burning was over the line of being acceptable for people of the west and prompted Ammon Bundy’s call from on-high to start the occupation of Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Oregon after the Bunkerville incident.
Back-burning is a necessary and common practice by ranchers that the Hammonds and all ranchers had been practicing for years. The Hammonds had no choice but to sell the purchase rights of their ranch to the BLM under great duress to pay fines that were also included. It seems evident to the Ranchers that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has been taking the land with plans to lease it to the Clinton Foundation donors?%$#W@T *?F!
Why the Hammonds?
Why were the Hammonds targeted by the Government? Probably the Water on the Hammonds Ranch located on private property next to Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and/or Hillary Clinton’s Uraniumone deal approved by nine Federal agencies including the FBI and State Department?
A US Geological Survey Bulletin (1740-B) indicates there is a high potential for silver, gold, copper, mercury, uranium, and molybdenum (a refractory metallic element used principally as an alloying agent in steel) and other resources in the area. There is also a moderate estimate of natural gas and oil.” It is obvious that the Hammonds stand in the way of total federal monopolization of natural resources in the area.”
Oregon Governor Kate Brown stated: “taking possession of the wildlife refuge was absolutely intolerable”. Governor Kate Brown had written to Attorney General Loretta Lynch and FBI Director James Comey asking for action by the FBI. Two Oregon state legislators visited FBI Director Comey’s office to ask for FBI help to end the standoff, and Director Comey certainly obliged! The whole corrupted Incident Stinks to high heaven and the Hammonds should be compensated for the heavy-handed and corrupt abuse from the county, state federal governments for the life-changing damages that were inflicted on the Hammonds.
Hillary Clinton is accused of giving %20 of US uranium to Russia firm “Rosatom” in return for channeling donations to the Clinton Foundation. The deal was approved by nine Federal agencies including the State Department at the time Hillary was the boss.
Blood Sacrifice by Vehicle Ambush
Shortly after a military-style vehicle stop and ambush incident took place (that will go down in history). Ryan Payne, Ryan Bundy, Shawna Cox, and a teenage girl known as Victoria in the back seat with LaVoy Finicum driving, came to a stop by unmarked vehicles behind. Shots were heard and Lavoy pulled over, Ryan Payne got out of the vehicle with hands up. LaVoy stuck his hands out of the window and yelled “I’m going to see the Sheriff… I’m going to see the Sheriff, and yelled “who are you” if you want to shoot me go ahead” (pointing his finger at his forehead and saying), “Put the laser there and pull the trigger, the blood will be on your hands”. He turned back inside and asked the people in the vehicle if they would like to get out of the vehicle or continue to go? The consensus in the vehicle was to go. Accelerating and gaining speed about one mile down the road and just as LaVoy started around a curve in the road, he encountered another roadblock with unmarked trucks — possibly one State trooper and two or three civilian vehicles with snipers on the side of the road. Before reaching the vehicles on the road, LaVoy received gunfire and drove off the highway into a snowbank on the left.
LaVoy immediately got out of the vehicle with his hands in the air, seemingly for the safety of the others in an attempt to draw fire from the vehicle. LaVoy yelled, “go ahead and shoot me… go ahead and shoot me.” Almost immediately multiple gunshots rang out as Lavoy got out of the vehicle. As multiple shots rang out Shawna states, “Damn, are they shooting him.. did they shoot him?” Ryan states, “I think they did.” Shawna angrily replies, “You assholes!” The young girl yells: “O’ my God!” Shawna implores her to, “stay down don’t get out” as the young girl asked, “Is he dead?” and yells uncontrollably, “I have to get out and see if he is okay.” Ryan asked the young girl, “are you hit?” and opens the door as shots rang out shooting out the remains of the window. Shawna yells, “no don’t get out, don’t do anything… wherein the hell is LaVoy?” Ryan closes the truck door looks over the window as shots ring out at his cowboy hat as he peeks out the window and crouched back down and says, “I can’t see.” As Shawna repeatedly says, “stay down”, the gunfire continued as Shawna prayed, “God help us” and repeatedly said, “please O’ God protects us…Please protect us…we need help…we need help”, as laser beams flurried around and shots rang out. Shawna yelled, “stop” and said, “I don’t dare get out or they will shoot me”.
Ryan said that he was hit in the arm. An alone rifle shot rang out piercing the truck. Shawna yells, “damn, why do they keep shooting?” and Ryan replies, “they’re trying to take my head off, is what they are trying to do!” Shawna states, “Yeah, but all of us?” Shawna hollers, “stop… stop…stop”, repeatedly as the young girl is pleading…” please!” The FBI’s response was more gunfire as gas canisters penetrate the window. Not being able to breathe because of the gas, the young girl begins hanging a white flag out of the window and yells, “We surrender.” A voice is heard in the distance outside of the vehicle, “come out on the left side door”. Shawna insists that the young girl get out first as she leans over Ryan and opens the left truck door and yells, “Please don’t kill me”. The voice comes back outside the vehicle, “the man first”, as Shawna tells the young girl you go first but Ryan gets out with his hands in the air. You can hear the voice outside shouting, “keep your hands up” and other indistinguishable voices in a drill sergeant-like fashion giving commands that were not understandable. It seemed to the people in the vehicle that assuredly, the FBI and Oregon State Police had intended to use deadly force and/or received orders to kill LaVoy and they did — in cold blood and without any known provocation or compassion or mercy. Because of the quality of the video drone footage, you can’t tell if LaVoy was going for a gun or if he was wounded and/or if he was armed, who knows what will come out after a real investigation by an impartial organization? Could it have been an order through a chain of command? It is a real possibility. Maybe a paper trail still might exist.
By shooting at a moving vehicle first, the Oregon State Police and FBI agents assassinated one cowboy Robert LaVoy Finicum who got out of the vehicle with hands in the air and was found not to have a weapon on his body. Oregon State Police and FBI agents tried to shoot Ryan who was still in the vehicle, endangering the two women who were also in the vehicle. This was a legal action through the Military Authorization Act against American citizens.

- Because of the need to set an example because of the loss of face at the Bundy standoff with the BLM three years ago.
- Stop LaVoy and Bundy from reaching Sheriff Palmer and 300 people waiting for their arrival to help form a Committee of Safety in the town of John Day.
- Government employee logic dictates they’re occupying the Federal buildings and must be terrorists. Who cares? –Do what you’re told, collect your paycheck, and go home.
- Quell a possible rebellion by killing the leadership.

“none of the above” the true answer is covered up by color law and fake media propaganda.
Agenda 20,21/30 Boiling Point
President Obama alias Barry Soetoro signed and executed Executive Order 13575, outlining the implementation and goals of Agenda 20/30, and this was easily perceived, confirmed, recognized, understood, as a Government land grab by the ranchers. This really came home to roost after Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid and his sons attempted to steal the Bundy’s grazing rights in Nevada (not in Reid’s state) using the environmental banner to save the desert tortoise. Cliven Bundy’s family was the last ranch in business in the area; It seemed obvious that the BLM has put most ranchers out of business through steadily increasing grazing fees and dictatorial regulations and requirements intentionally driving ranchers out of business. Cliven Bundy refused to pay fees for his natural rights that he said his family established before BLM started managing the land In Nevada and that the Federal Government had no jurisdiction over his established land rights. Democratic Majority Leader Senator Harry Reid was perceived as pulling strings behind the scenes to take the Bundy’s grazing rights through a BLM occupational Army, headed by Daniel Love. Senator Reid’s son assisted in setting up a deal with the Chinese, selling the land for future solar power plants. This bold move created an armed standoff that included highly trained snipers on both sides– with a very high probability of sparking a real shooting war, but the BLM withdrew, for safety concerns without incident. Harry Reid called the Bundy’s and supporters “terrorists”
For over a year ranchers stood down to wait for the results of the election, hoping for relief from the BLM harassment and unjust sentencing in Federal Courts and hopefully justice for the killing of LaVoy. The Federal and State Government’s silence on this matter seems to scream with a loud and clear voice to the people of the West, “you are on your own!” Electing good Sheriffs and establishing a Committee of Safety might be the rancher’s only remedy to deal with a severely dysfunctional Government.
When the pendulum swings in the opposite direction and facts unfold, officials could be found and held responsible for misguided illegal actions, complicit in destroying many good Americans and the taking of the life of a brave American who was willing to do what he thought was right according to the dictates of his conscience. It was Americans pulling triggers that acted as LaVoy’s judge, jury, and executioners without due process by using deadly force and firing at LaVoy and his party first before his vehicle came to a stop because they obeyed illegal orders. Upon observing the mood of those to whom I have spoken too over the years, I would conclude that most are informed and angry about the issue. Most believe this matter is not over yet — and of course the uninformed and misinformed are among us but waking up fast. Jeanette Finicum, the widow of Robert LaVoy put it mildly when she said: “it’s not okay that our government behaves like a big bully.” Robert LaVoy Finicum signed off in his YouTube videos with a haunting and Ironic closing, “This is, One Cowboy’s Stand for Freedom.”
