Red River Land Grab - BLM Claims to own private land in Texas

The BLM has taken a huge new step forward in its land grabbing agenda. The latest victim is a cattle rancher and farmer from the Red River area of Texas. Ken Aderholt’s family has owned some of these contested lands for generations. Unlike the Bundy’s and the Finicum’s this dispute is not about public lands but rather deeded private land.

Ken Aderholt is a family man who is married with 2 kids. He is one of the few still living the American dream, for now. Ken and his family farms and ranches are along the Red River in Texas. His Grandfather bought the property in 1941 and Ken grew up on the land, building fences and working the cows as any ranching family does. After his grandfather died in 1989 the land then went to his father. Who leased it to Ken after he bought out half of his grandfathers cattle. In 1989 he moved his family the home that his grandfather had lived in since 1941. This is just the life that Ken and his family had pictured living. That is up to a couple of weeks before Christmas in 2013 when a couple of game wardens called the families along the Red River to a meeting in Wichita Falls to figure out how they were going to manage the property along the Red River that they were now suddenly claiming to own. The unfortunate part of this claim is that land is already owned by the residents that live along the 100+ mile area of the Red River, including close to half of Ken’s land including his family home! During the meeting they set up a scoping period that has lasted close to 2 years. This period is almost over. The Governor of Texas has had some encouraging words on the subject that he included in a letter to the BLM. Here is a .pdf of the BLM Letter However, it remains to be seen if the Governor will actually step in and call up his state troops and the Texas Rangers to intervene on the resident’s behalf. If not the Oath Keepers will be ready to take action to help keep this hard working American family in their home.

Please take the time to watch this video interview and share it out. Also check back for updates to this situation.

Oathkeepers refuse to stand down in Ferguson

Oath Keepers reject orders, refuse to stand down, remain on Ferguson rooftops

Armed Oath Keepers have advised St. Louis County Police through their attorney that they have every right to guard rooftops of Ferguson businesses that want them there, and have refused to stand down.

Members of Oath Keepers, a national group that includes current and retired military and law enforcement personnel, have rejected orders from St. Louis County Police to abandon posts on top of private businesses that invited their protection, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Monday. The order to stand down was issued under presumed authority of a county ordinance prohibiting unlicensed security personnel.

“Once we read the statute, we laughed at it,” local Oath Keepers leader Sam Andrews commented, explaining the ordinance applies to employed security personnel. “Then, the next night, we were there.”

Mysterious ‘Oath Keepers’ guard rooftops in downtown Ferguson

I am happy to be a part of this organization, and I think we needs some teams like this in Montana.

OATHKEEPERS action report!

Oathkeepers published the latest action report this morning on the situation in Ferguson MO and it looks like the establishment is going to be very embarrassed over this lawful activity by the members of Oathkeepers, which has shown the way to preserve law and order while there was chaos all around them.

This shows what can be done and should have been done by the police and national guard, instead of letting the lawless rioters do their evil deeds. 

The Oathkeeper idea of Community Preparedness Teams is now a proven method of protecting not only freedom, but lives and property, in a very real violent scenario where an imminent threat of arson and perhaps violent assault were the norm of the day.

The Oathkeepers need and deserve our support, not only with financial support to keep these teams in place, but your support locally to form your own team, with the help of Oathkeepers to help you train.

There is lots to learn.  I am involved in the communications part of this training and have been for about 6 years now.  I was at the Bundy ranch with Stewart, and we successfully set up night patrols with constant radio contact for the safety of the area.
