Commandeering a Wildlife Refuge

[David Merrill]

We had a recent event shared on the brain trust. I have heard some rumors about this Case. Mr. VROOMAN is apparently unaware the the case was unsealed last month and is badgering the FBI to disclose information to him. I doubt that will be very effective.

I have compiled a few bucks worth of documentation and you can pursue this yourselves if you are interested. If you find anything interesting please post it here.

Mr. VROOMAN's petition is apparently not being posted on PACER as seen on today's docket report. But that may be posted soon, I don't know. I doubt that the clerk will find VROOMAN a qualified party in interest.

The case and surrounding issues point to [A] the nature of the United States after the Civil War and its effect on the formation and admission of 'states' to the Union after the Civil War and

Note: with the exception of the State of California and the State of Texas (easily explained in a legal sense mainly to do with their status upon "Annexation" or acquisition by the United States and the laws of conquest--the governor of California is the commander in chief of the armed forces of California), there is a great % of Federal land-ownership for any state admitted to the Union after the Civil War.

Here I touch upon California and Texas. The situation of California and Texas though their USA statehood comes after the Civil War is that:

#1. the State of California's status has been explained in that it was a territory of Mexico aka "Upper California" or "Alta California" at the time of 'acquisition' by the United States.
#2. As for the State of Texas, the lawfulness of its "annexation" is subject to interpretation. However, its interesting that the Governor of the state of California is the commander-in-chief of the the military forces of the state of California.

That is, there is more behind the status of the state of California and the state of Texas in that California is held in a lesser status because it was "mere territory" of Mexico.

Alta California became a territory in independent Mexico. ...

Alta California ceased to exist as an administrative division

There is significance laid upon Upper California having been a territory of Mexico (i.e. United Mexican States or Estatos-Unidos Mexicanos) when ceded under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. However, there is another story or slant that has to do with the Bear Flag. Sonoma was taken by U.S.A. settlers by force BEFORE the war started between the United States and Mexico.

In any case, its interesting that the state of California has its own commander-in-chief to this very day. Lots of interesting answers are in the details.

All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for the protection, security and benefit of the people; and they have the right to alter or reform the same whenever the public good may require it. But the Paramount Allegiance of every citizen is due to the Federal Government in the exercise of all its Constitutional powers as the same have been or may be defined by the Supreme Court of the United States; and no power exists in the people of this or any other State of the Federal Union to dissolve their connection therewith or perform any act tending to impair, subvert, or resist the Supreme Authority of the government of the United States. The Constitution of the United States confers full power on the Federal Government to maintain and Perpetuate its existence, and whensoever any portion of the States, or people thereof attempt to secede from the Federal Union, or forcibly resist the Execution of its laws, the Federal Government may, by warrant of the Constitution, employ armed force in compelling obedience to its Authority.

The more I've looked into it, there was a lot of patience on the part of the Feds. The U.S. Govt. apparently purchased the land in question. Furthermore, the buzz is that the Bundys and others had the Blood Moons in mind as part of their ideological swing.
