EMERGENCY CITIZEN WRIT OF MANDAMUS
In re: United States v. Darren Wesley Huff
CASE #: 125581
Unites States Court of Appeals for the federal Sixth Circuit
540 Potter Stewart United States Courthouse
100 East Fifth Street
Cincinnati, Ohio 45202
And many others in a wider distribution
To: Chief Judge Alice M. Batchelder
Copies to: Various and numerous government agencies and law enforcement offices previously contacted
With waning deference and respect I write to you this day to report the scope and operation of a government I’ve been trained to fight against and destroy.
I sound the alert that a fraud is being perpetrated on the U.S Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Federal and state judges, federal and state prosecutors, federal and state law enforcement officers, lower ranking state and federal court officers and Mr. Huff’s court appointed defense attorneys are criminally complicit in the fraud being visited upon this federal appellate Court.
I am commanding you to recognize this fraud and release Navy Veteran Darren Wesley Huff as an innocent man. I demand and command that Mr. Huff’s innocence be publicly and loudly declared and that Mr. Huff’s name be cleared causing to expunge all government records naming Mr. Huff a criminal in matters related to his case that have come into existence since April 2010.
I am commanding that the Court become the forcing function behind causing criminal investigations against those people who have acted to wrongfully harm or injure Mr. Huff resulting in his illegal incarceration presently. I furthermore call upon this Court to lash out and act against the fraud presently being visited upon this bench.
I am commanding that the Court order a federal grand jury assembled for these express purposes. The grand jury is to be impaneled to hear my testimony and inspect my voluminous investigative work product representing proofs and evidences going to Mr. Huff’s innocence and egregious maltreatment at the hands of various government officials; then to broaden their investigation from that starting point. For the sake of efficiency this federal grand jury is to be formed near the community of Athens, Tennessee.
Federal agents, assisted by Tennessee Start law enforcement officials arrested Mr. Huff in Tennessee State on Friday, 30 April 2010 on charges arising from activities that occurred in Madisonville, Tennessee on Tuesday, 20 April 2010 that have become commonly referred to as “The Madisonville Hoax.”
Federal Bureau of Investigation Mark A. Van Balen criminally accused Mr. Huff of being physically present armed with gun(s) at the R. Beecher Witt government building in Madisonville, TN on Tuesday, 20 April 2010. Van Balen further asserted under oath that Mr. Huff, while standing outside the R. Beecher Witt government building armed with gun(s), was thinking about using gun(s) to commit acts of violence against persons and property at that location.
Van Balen stated under oath that Mr. Huff was joined with other armed individuals at R. Beecher Witt government building and outside the building with Mr. Huff who were thinking about joining Mr. Huff at that location in carrying out acts of violence against persons and property using gun(s).
The truth is Mr. Huff was never physically present at the R. Beecher Witt government building at any moment in time on Tuesday, 20 April 2010. Enclosed, see former Sergeant of Marines William Looman’s sworn statement. Other fact witnesses, eye witnesses, ear witnesses have always been available to attest to Mr. Huff’s whereabouts in Madisonville, Tennessee on 20 April 2010.
The truth is that Mr. Huff was unarmed at every moment he was physically present in Madisonville, Tennessee on Tuesday, 20 April 2010. Again I invite focused attention to Marine Sergeant Looman’s sworn affidavit.
State and federal prosecutors, law enforcement officials, judges and court officers and public defenders all blocked unassailable testimonial and physical evidences proving Mr. Huff’s innocence from ever coming forth. They have instead created, enhanced and embellished upon The Madisonville Hoax!
Mr. Huff’s presence in Madisonville, Tennessee on Tuesday, 20 April 2010 was due to the discovery that Mr. Gary Pettway had stood in the Monroe County Tennessee grand jury as its foreman for twenty-eight (28) consecutive years.
The hearing Mr. Huff wanted to attend was part of a process seeking to expose Mr. Pettway’s criminal conduct and eventually effect Pettway’s peaceful removal from Pettway’s illegal yet officially declared job as “grand jury foreman.”
Federal and state government functionaries took action in bad faith against Mr. Huff and myself based on the false claim that Mr. Gary Pettway was, in fact, a legally summoned and impaneled “juror.”
Mr. Gary Pettway testified at Mr. Huff’s October 2011 federal trial passing himself off as a lawful and legal “juror” who was the object of Mr. Huff’s “thoughts” on Tuesday, 20 April 2010.
Mr. Pettway committed perjury by so testifying.
Other state and federal functionaries, mendacious muckrakers, embellished Mr. Pettway’s perjury, adding their own.They reported that Mr. Pettway, with other people and property, were somehow, in someway at risk of being harmed, injured or damaged on Tuesday, 20 April 2010 by Mr. Huff or other innocent men and women who came to Madisonville to attend a public court hearing as court watchers.
This was all accomplished through the guise of The Madisonville Hoax.
State and federal officials used Mr. Huff in The Madisonville Hoax as a pawn to extend the durable myth that criminal court appointed foreman in Tennessee State were (1) jurors, and (2) legally acting as foremen.
One hundred and two (102) days ago, on Friday, 20 September 2013, Assistant Tennessee Attorney General Kyle Hixson, in a brief filed with the Tennessee’s Criminal Appellate Court in Knoxville gave up the game.
Hixson declared in an affirmative admission against state’s-interest that Mr. Pettway had never, in fact, been a “juror.”
The Hixson Brief affirmatively declares that no Tennessee grand jury foreman has ever been a “juror” going back scores of years.
This admission is ominous. Tennessee State law declares that the foreman of the grand jury, like any other member of a Tennessee State trial jury or grand jury must be in fact a juror.
The Madisonville Hoax was a brazen law enforcement operation the design of which was to cloak the decades old practice of criminal court judges illicitly anointing their own non-juror advocates and sycophants into what might have otherwise been a lawful grand jury.
Mr. Huff became a government tool, a pawn in breathing life into their hoax from that day to this day.
I’ve been conducting an investigation into the Madisonville Hoax ever since Tuesday, 20 April 2010. State and federal judges and prosecutors have ruthlessly blocked every effort I’ve made to report the results of my investigation and offer up for examination my investigative work product. I hold extensive proofs and evidences intended for presentation to a seated federal or state grand jury.
My investigation proves no prospective court-watcher who came to Madisonville, Tennessee on 20 April 2010 attempting to attend a court hearing that day carried a gun in the city of Madisonville.
No court watcher intended or planned any violence of any description. I have all their names. I’ve been in contact with them all. I have statements from several.
Creators, facilitators and agitators of the Madisonville Hoax steadfastly maintain to this day, some under their perjured oaths, that Mr. Huff carried a gun in Madisonville on that troubled day.
They continue to maintain and falsely report that other frustrated court watchers, wrongly accused as was Mr. Huff, were carrying guns with intent to carry out violence.
NONSENSE I SAY! NONSENSE!
It’s all a lie. It’s all part of the Madisonville Hoax! None of the court-watchers carried a gun. Mr. Huff did not carry a gun.
Mr. Huff was never physically present at any time at the R. Beecher Witt government building on Tuesday, 20 April 2010.
Mr. Huff’s variously assigned defense attorneys were all on notice that this information was available to them then as now. An exhaustive record has always been available to them as the volume of amassed information, proof and evidences of Mr. Huff’s innocence continued to grow. Mr. Huff’s appointed defense counsels turned their heads away from all of it, laughing up their sleeves as they walked away.
In April 2011 Federal Judge H. Bruce Guyton personally intercepted my direct submissions to the two federal grand juries sitting in Knoxville seeking to appear before one of both of those two assemblies. I was prepared to prove Mr. Huff’s innocence to the grand jury. I was prepared to tell the grand jury, under oath, about my discoveries regarding The Madisonville Hoax and the part played in the hoax by state and federal officials so far as I knew in the spring of 2011.
Guyton personally blocked my submissions.
Guyton then personally refused to grant me permission to appear, deflecting my attempts to the U.S. Attorney for Tennessee’s Eastern District, William C. Killian.
H. Bruce Guyton was the presiding judge in Mr. Huff’s federal prosecution at the very moment H. Bruce Guyton obstructed my efforts to report to the federal grand jury on The Madisonville Hoax.
ONE OF THE LEAD PERPETRATORS IN THE CREATION AND CONDUCT OF “THE MADISONVILLE HOAX!” ~ William C. Killian – U.S. Attorney for Tennessee’s Eastern District ~ CLICK ON IMAGE FOR KILLIAN’S “SELFIE”
U.S. Attorney Killian, named as one of the perpetrators in The Madisonville Hoax, continues to block my efforts to appear before a federal grand jury to this day. See Killian’s enclosed letter dated Friday, 14 June 2013 that reintroduces Guyton’s letter dated Wednesday, 6 April 2011.
I was defeated again just fourteen (14) days ago, attempting to report to a local Tennessee State grand jury regarding the criminal court judges’ take down, take away and the take over of our local grand juries by way of judicial appointments of non-juror foreman.
I call attention once more to the Hixson Brief dated Friday 20 September 2013.
It was the criminal court judge, judicially anointed, county employee non-juror foreman, actually named in my submission as a fraud using the Hixson Brief as evidence, who personally blocked my submission and presentation from being reviewed or heard by the grand jury on Tuesday 17 December 2013, and then ordered a deputy sheriff to escort me from the courthouse.
I’ve aggressively attempted to report these matters to the Federal Bureau of Investigation at various locations in the country.
One of my more significant and memorable contacts occurred on 28 June 2011 (3½ months before Darren Huff’s October 2011 trial). I met with Special Agent Roxanne West for approximately three hours in Knoxville.
I’ve lost count of my reports to the FBI. They are numerous. And all of them ignored and trashed.
One reason why is that The Madisonville Hoax, as an extra added bonus, allowed for federal judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officials and court functionaries to exploit false accusations against Mr. Huff so as to achieve the first ever successful “thought crime” prosecution in United States history.
Van Balen’s sworn affidavit is based upon what Van Balen personally thought, and other FBI agents and law enforcement agents said they personally thought Mr. Huff was thinking about.
Maintaining Mr. Huff’s wrongful conviction in place, as FBI Special Agent Scott Johnson gleefully reported on 5 May 2012 is supremely important:
“This case is monumental to the FBI because it will set precedent for case law in future domestic terrorism cases throughout the United States.” (LINK)
I am not going into my efforts to report these matters to Tennessee State law enforcement officers that are as unceasing and unrelenting as they are numerous.
One other man who has been regularly defeated in attempting to bring to the attention of a sitting grand jury those actions of a corrupt government, and particularly those actions taken against Mr. Huff wrote this yesterday:
In Devvy Kidd’s piece today she refers to the movie “Open Range” where Kevin Costner tells the complainer who asks what he can do” You’re men ain’t you?” The complainer says he didn’t raise his sons to get killed, to which Costner replies: “You may not know this, but there’s things that gnaw on a man worse than dying.”
Darren’s hearing is one of those incremental crossroads things where we take an extra large step further into servitude it the state prevails.
I am sure no one will die if they make a stand. To put their name to paper and send it to a judge or stand with Darren in the courtroom will not get anyone killed. But to not make a stand and continue the incessant pecking on a computer keyboard will accomplish nothing.
Walt [I’m Walt] has nailed the dire circumstances involved in this hearing. If the state succeeds it will hamper the future efforts of all activists, but most specifically veterans.
The state motto in New Hampshire is: “Live Free or Die.” That’s what Costner was referring to. Are we there yet?
Getting close…
Repeating for emphasis, I SAY AGAIN to this U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, that I’m reporting in this EMERGENCY CITIZEN’S WRIT the scope and operation of the government I was trained to fight against and destroy.
The immediate reaction I expect to cause is that this Court take actions to guard itself against the fraud being committed against it, and after that see to Mr. Huff’s release from federal prison.
Accept my EMERGENCY CITIZEN’S WRIT as but another sworn criminal complaint. I’m calling for the immediate arrests of persons I’m able to name in the conduct of those criminal acts I’m able to credibly report.
Accept this as but one more demand to appear before sitting federal and state grand juries. Accept it as well as an emergency court filing in Mr. Huff’s pending judicial review.
Distribution of this writing is online and wide. Common law grand juries emerging around the country are free to use this actionable information as they wish.
Beware the fury of patient men.

Corrupt Federal Judges and Tennessee Officials Commit Obstruction of Justice, Go Unpunished
Posted By Sharon Rondeau On Sunday, December 29, 2013 @ 12:05 PM In National |
“THEY NEED THIS CONVICTION TO STAND”
by CDR Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III (Ret.) and Post & Email Editor Sharon Rondeau
(Dec. 29, 2013) — [Editor’s Note: On Thursday, federal prisoner Darren Wesley Huff informed The Post & Email and others that an appeal in his case has been filed and will be heard on January 30, 2014, at the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, OH.
The attorney who will be representing Huff is Gerald Gulley of Knoxville.
Huff was convicted in October 2011 of “transporting firearms across state lines with the intent to cause a civil disorder” after false reports were made to local authorities in Monroe County, TN that he planned to “take over the courthouse” on April 20, 2010.
Initially, the trial jury produced a verdict of “not guilty” on one count and was hung on the second count, but Judge Thomas Varlan instructed them to “try again,” after which the jury pronounced Huff guilty on the one count.
An eyewitness, Bill Looman, who spent all of April 20, 2010 with Huff, provided a sworn affidavit affirming that Huff was not armed after he parked and exited his truck in Madisonville, TN. Looman stated that because would-be observers arriving for the hearing for Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III that day were barred from entering the courthouse, he and Huff went to a restaurant across the street to have breakfast. Looman maintained that Huff was not where the government claimed he was in order to effect the alleged “courthouse takeover.”
Looman and other eyewitnesses were not called to Huff’s trial, where Tennessee Tenth Judicial District officials perjured themselves, including Gary Pettway, who had served as grand jury foreman for 28 straight years under Judge Carroll Lee Ross. Huff’s public defender, H. Scott Green, did not call Fitzpatrick, Looman or any other eyewitness in Huff’s defense even though Fitzpatrick was physically at the courthouse waiting to be called to testify.
Ross had orchestrated Fitzpatrick’s arrest after Fitzpatrick attempted a citizen’s arrest on Pettway on April 1, 2010 for over-serving his term as a juror according to Tennessee state code. The April 20 hearing was an assignment hearing which Fitzpatrick understood would take only a few minutes.
Following the April 1 incident, Fitzpatrick was indicted by the Monroe County grand jury for having intimidated Gary Pettway, who was identified as “a juror.” Fitzpatrick was also charged with riot, intimidating a juror, and disrupting a meeting. In September of this year, the state of Tennessee clarified that the foreman of a Tennessee grand jury is not a juror, but rather, a court-appointed public employee. However, the foreman routinely votes with the grand jurors as the 13th person, thereby infusing state influence into a process which is expected to be driven by citizens acting as a buffer between government and the people in accordance with the Fifth Amendment.
Tennessee state code requires that 13 randomly-selected individuals comprise a grand jury, not 12 plus a representative of the state’s interests.
Huff was also charged by the Monroe County with intimidating “a juror” for having video-taped the citizen’s arrest carried out by Fitzpatrick. Now, the state of Tennessee maintains that Pettway was not a juror.
In Monroe County, Huff took a plea of “no contest” to the charges, but a federal case was brought against him based on a faulty FBI affidavit signed by Special Agent Mark Van Balen which stated that Huff and Fitzpatrick were armed and had planned to “take over” the Monroe County courthouse on April 20. Van Balen cited unnamed “officials” upon whose statements he relied to produce the affidavit, which served as probable cause for Huff’s arrest and jailing by federal authorities.
Over the last two years, Fitzpatrick has gathered sworn and unsworn statements from eyewitnesses which say that no one in Madisonville was armed on April 20, 2010 and that no clashes with law enforcement were observed, despite the heavy presence of local police, FBI and TBI agents, a SWAT team, bomb-sniffing dogs and Tennessee Highway Patrolmen throughout the area.
Some who attended the hearing but were not allowed in to the courtroom reported being audited by the IRS afterward. This past spring, the IRS admitted to having targeted groups perceived as politically opposed to the regime’s policies. Within the last several weeks, two men who have voiced their objections to Obamacare and the fallout of insurance policies’ cancellation have reported that they are being audited by the IRS.
The Post & Email attempted to obtain documentation on the massive deployment of law enforcement on April 20, 2010 but was denied on several levels in which the government cited “privacy” concerns. The Obama regime had promised “the toughest ethics rules and toughest transparency rules of any administration in history.”
Obama has not explained why the long-form birth certificate posted on the White House website on April 27, 2011 is a forgery. On March 17, 2009, Fitzpatrick had filed a criminal complaint of treason against Obama, naming him as a foreign-born domestic enemy. A criminal investigation has revealed that the image is a forgery, that Obama may be foreign-born and that it is likely that he was not born in Hawaii, as he claims. According to lead investigator Mike Zullo, the fraudulent image was posted “with the intent to deceive.”
Mainstream media have consistently reported that Huff was pursuing a treason complaint or removal of office against Obama, which was false. In a taped interview with The Post & Email in 2011, Huff stated, “That is not my issue.”
After Huff’s trial and just before sentencing in May 2012, Varlan was presented with evidence that several government officials’ testimony had been tainted, but that evidence was ignored. In accordance with the Obama regime’s declaration that Second Amendment supporters are “militia extremists,” U.S. Attorney William C. Killian, an Obama appointee, “commended the verdict and said he hoped it would send a strong message to those who attempt to take the law into their own hands.”
William C. Killian – U.S. Attorney for Tennessee’s Eastern District
Killian continued, “Under our federal Constitution and statutes Mr. Huff and others like him can talk or write about their anti-government views. They cannot arm themselves and make threats to arrest public officials and takeover government buildings. The core of our democratic system is to allow peaceful protest, but prohibit armed threats to those who serve our government. His conviction is a great achievement by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Theodore and Mackie and several local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. Their cooperative efforts resulted in this conviction.”
Since Huff’s conviction, the corruption of public officials in the Tenth Judicial District of Tennessee has become public:
-
One of the officials named as a criminal by both Huff and Fitzpatrick is District Attorney General R. Steven Bebb, who is reported to under consideration to be removed from his post by the Tennessee General Assembly for professional misconduct and possible criminal behavior after the attorney general failed to find Bebb guilty of crimes.
-
Contrary to the indictments issued against Fitzpatrick and Huff, Pettway has been officially declared by Tennessee Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Justice Division, Kyle Hixson, not to have ever been “a juror.”
-
Judge Carroll Ross is retiring after numerous incidents of misconduct have been exposed by Fitzpatrick, Huff, The Post & Email, and Appellate Judge Thomas M. Tipton, who reversed Ross’s convictions against George Raudenbush on the grounds that Ross denied him his constitutional right to counsel in 2011.
-
The grand juries which have issued indictments against the above defendants and all others over an unknown number of years have been illegally composed of 12 citizens, some of whom were not chosen randomly and served consecutive terms in violation of Tennessee state law.
-
Assistant District Attorney General Paul D. Rush, who prosecuted Fitzpatrick in the case now on appeal, has been cited for ethics violations by the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility after Rush specifically identified The Post & Email as lacking in “ethics” and “integrity.”
-
Fitzpatrick’s defense attorney, Van Irion of Knoxville, has just announced that he is running next year for Criminal Court Judge against Amy Armstrong Reedy, who Fitzpatrick named as a criminal for hand-picking jurors for the 2012 term in open court, a fact Irion presented during the appeals hearing for Fitzpatrick on November 20.
Since discovering massive corruption within the Monroe County grand jury in December 2009, Fitzpatrick has attempted to enlist the assistance of the Knoxville FBI, the TBI, local police, sheriff’s department, and district attorney general’s office, but all have proven either corrupt themselves or unwilling to open an investigation.
The McMinn County grand jury is similarly compromised, with a judge-appointed foreman who exerts influence over the 12 grand jurors but denies that he has engaged in obstruction of justice even when he himself is the subject of a criminal complaint.
Fitzpatrick has attempted to bring the exculpatory evidence relating to Huff’s case as well as the corruption of Tenth Judicial District officials to the federal grand juries sitting in Knoxville but has been blocked by Killian, Magistrate H. Bruce Guyton, and Varlan. Here, Fitzpatrick explains how Guyton was compromised in his actions on Huff’s case and that grand juries at both the state and federal levels have become tools of the government, not of the people.]
Three years ago, I could have walked into a grand jury either at the state level or federal level and talked to some degree about the suspicions we had about the scope and operation of grand juries then, pointing directly at Mr. Pettway and saying “He’s been there for 28 years; there’s something wrong here. I’m willing to work with you folks in the grand jury to get to the bottom of this.” And you know what happened.
Almost three years ago, I tried to get in front of the federal grand jury directly. We knew that that Darren had falsely set up, falsely accused, and falsely arrested. There were two federal grand juries sitting at that time in Knoxville. I contacted the jury coordinator, Helen Spears, who sent me a handbook on the federal grand juries. I sent in a submission on March 16, and I sent a second on April 7.
Jury 1 16 Mar 2011
Jury 2 16 Mar 2011
Jury 1 7 Apr 2011
Jury 2 7 Apr 2011
Jury 1 8 Apr 2011
Jury 2 8 April 2011
These were mailed before I got Guyton’s letter. These three mailings were blocked. The 16 March mailing, which was a challenge to the grand juries, was returned unopened three weeks later. In the meantime, I sent in two more: the ones from the 7th of April and 8th of April. Those were not returned; he kept those.
I sent copies of the other mailings to the U.S. attorney and to Richard Lambert, who was the special agent then in charge of the Knoxville FBI.
And the other submission crossed in them mail with his letter back to me saying, “You can’t petition the grand jury directly. You have to go through me, the judge, the court; or you have to go through the U.S. attorney. He wrote that in the letter citing the case of New Haven Grand Jury from 1985.
6 April 2011 H.Bruce Guyton ltr
What’s significant is that H. Bruce Guyton – and I didn’t know it at the time; I found out later – was the sitting judge in Darren’s case. He was making rulings on Darren’s case from the bench. Later on, I thought Guyton was going to be the trial judge, but it turned out to be Thomas Varlan. Darren had issues with the court; he was filing submission to the court, and they were all going to H. Bruce Guyton.
Guyton was preventing me from getting information into the grand juries about Darren and which eventually was about Guyton and other people in the federal government to include U.S. Attorney William C. Killian and Richard L. Lambert from the FBI. As time passes, we have learned more about what happened on April 20, 2010, and I’m still collecting information from people who were in Madisonville that day. It took me a couple of years, frankly. So we’re still putting together a picture from witnesses as to what happened, but I had enough to start a process for the grand juries to take a look at what was going on in the Tenth Judicial District. Guyton blocked me from doing that for no reason. He said, “I’m not going to give you permission; I’m deferring to the U.S. Attorney.”
All these mailings went to Guyton, Lambert and William C. Killian, the U.S. attorney in Knoxville, and they probably just threw all of this information away. Other mailings I sent after that went directly to Killian, and I got nothing back from him. In fact, the only letter I got from his office said, “Don’t send us anything else; it will be thrown away.”
14 JUNE 2013 WILLIAM C. KILLIAN letter
This has been the attitude of the federal government from day one. As time has passed, you know how much information we have come into possession of regarding the Madisonville Hoax, who did what, the perjury at Darren’s trial, the revelation here that is just days old that the grand jury foreman is not a juror. If we had known then what we know now, Darren would not be in a federal prison. One of the ways that we could have known back in the spring of 2011 is if a federal grand jury had picked this up and started asking questions of the people in the local community about “How is it that the law says that a juror can’t be in the jury for more than one term, but the foreman serves multiple terms?” The grand jury could have started asking questions which the appellate court now has asked in my case since. And the state has now come in and they’ve been forced into a position where they have to admit that the grand jury foreman is not a juror.
I believe that if Guyton had allowed me to go forward with what we knew then, the grand jury could have discovered this on their own before Darren’s case ever came to trial. It wouldn’t have taken them long to start calling people into the federal jury room in Knoxville and start putting these people under oath and having people such as Gary Pettway explain under oath how he had been in that job for 28 years in a row. But that didn’t happen, and the reason it didn’t happen was because of Bruce Guyton’s obstruction and that of the FBI and William C. Killian.
The reason we’re talking about this now is that I just learned that Darren Huff has a hearing on 30 January 2014, and we can’t seem to get any of this information into the court that is hearing the case. We’re being obstructed in the same way that Bruce Guyton obstructed me almost three years ago. One of the reasons they want Darren in prison is that they successfully prosecuted him for a “thought crime.”
An article written by Jamie Satterfield three years ago on Friday and updated three years yesterday discusses the rulings that H. Bruce Guyton handed down in the case of Darren Wesley Huff, and they went to whether or not he should be locked up or wear an ankle bracelet. Bruce Guyton is the guy who blocked me from getting in front of a grand jury and talking about the case over which he was presiding.
He didn’t know what I was going to bring to the grand jury, but after follow-on submissions to the U.S attorney, which I made and were not answered, I went to the FBI and met with Special Agent Roxane West for three hours. I met with her, and nothing happened.
If nothing else, it’s important that we get this information out publicly.
Bruce Guyton could have been responsible for Darren’s being released. There was a federal judge obstructing justice.
We had a lot back in the day, and the juries should have called me in, but they did not.
The Post & Email asked Fitzpatrick if he believes there is anyone else who could be approached with the information he tried to present to the federal grand juries, to which he responded:
Darren Huff has an eyewitness to his whereabouts all day long on April 20, 2010 who was not called to the stand in Darren’s defense. Darren was set up by his own defense attorney. I was there to testify on Darren’s behalf. Nobody who could have squared away this jury would have been able to convict Darren, because he was not physically ever at the place where the FBI said he committed a crime that day. If all we have is Bill Looman’s sworn statement, then we have all that we need to get Darren released. We have so much more.
How do we get this in front of a judge for January 30? That is a question I can’t answer.
In going back over this information, I’ve come up with this other fact that a federal judge, H. Bruce Guyton, obstructed Darren’s getting a fair hearing. He could have prevented all of this from happening to Darren then. That’s another dynamic here that the appeals judges need to know about: that a federal judge has committed a crime.
Darren has been locked up as a political prisoner as we’ve said before.
We have this battery of information; it’s a lot, and it’s powerful. We can prove that we knew enough back in the day to exonerate Darren and that we were physically obstructed by the FBI, the U.S. attorney’s office, and by a federal judge who was hearing Darren’s case at the time. That’s pretty big.
We have it in writing that anything I might send to Killian is going to be thrown away. So I tried to go to a state grand jury here about ten days ago to raise up the issue that way, and I was turned away again. You remember my telling you about waiting hours to get in and then having McMinn County grand jury foreman Jeff Cunningham be the one who blocked me from getting in when he’s named in the complaint.
It reminds me of the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany…it’s the government that I was trained to fight against. It is the government that all military personnel are trained to fight against. When they taken an oath to the Constitution, this is the domestic enemy from within. We’re seeing it firsthand. I can’t make it any more plain to people that grand juries have been taken over by the government than to demonstrate to them what happened at the federal level which is the letter that says, “You can’t get in here by any means.” The fact that Bruce Guyton obstructed this and it has never come to the fore to correct the mistake; we’ve tried to get in front of Thomas Varlan to get me in front of a grand jury; Varlan hasn’t cooperated. And now you see where at the state level, the people are not able to critically think through what it is they’re supposed to be doing. Frankly, I don’t know that they know what they’re supposed to be doing. They see a guy like Cunningham and say, “Hey, Jeff, now what?”
That’s the problem we face. We need juries that we can depend upon to stand up and to take back our government. Look at all of the efforts that have been made to get this information in front of a grand jury, and to have done that would have completely cleared Darren a long time. It would have blocked Darren from ever being prosecuted in the first place. This is all being done with purposeful intent.
This information was provided to Scott Green, who did not defend Darren.
The judge who was hearing Darren’s case blocked me from coming in to talk to the grand jury about the case. Darren could have been exonerated. It was as if Guyton was preventing Darren from defending himself.
If all we had was Bill Looman’s eyewitness testimony about Darren’s physical presence that day and the fact that Darren was not armed in Madisvonville, TN, that should have been enough. Nobody who testified that Darren was there that day had to prove that he was there that day. It was all cops who said that, and they committed perjury. They also had Gary Pettway come in and commit perjury by representing himself as a “real grand jury foreman juror.”
Darren’s release is just the first of thousands of dominoes which start to fall when you take a look at the larger picture, and the federal government is doing everything it can do to block Darren from proving his innocence. The people who are involved in the obstruction involves the federal judge who was hearing Darren’s case at the time, who had a conflict of interest in Darren’s case and was ruling on the case after the submissions were sent by me to Guyton, who was involved in this all the way up until Darren’s trial.
Guyton could have let me in. Why didn’t he? Killian could have let me in, and he didn’t. It’s because they need this conviction to stand.

Tennessee Grand Juries Co-Opted by Government, Operating Illegally
Posted By Sharon Rondeau On Wednesday, December 18, 2013 @ 8:39 AM In National |
“THIS GOVERNMENT IS COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL”
by Sharon Rondeau
(Dec. 18, 2013) — On Tuesday, CDR Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III (Ret.) went to the McMinn County, TN courthouse to submit a criminal complaint naming the grand jury foreman, court clerk, three Tenth Judicial District prosecutors and two criminal court judges as “illegally, individually and judicially selecting installing [sic] people into the grand juries,” thereby wielding undue influence in order to obtain specific outcomes.
Rhonda Cooley is the elected Circuit Court Clerk for McMinn County, and Atty. Jeffrey Cunningham, who is also a local bank official, is the appointed grand jury foreman.
Fitzpatrick had wished to explain to the grand jury that while the state attorney general’s office claims that the foreman is not a juror, but rather, a county employee, state law requires that the foreman must be a juror. Criminal court rules posted on the website of the Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts state that “the foreperson shall possess all the qualifications of a juror.”
TCA 40-12-206 mandates that juries comprise 13 jurors and as many as five alternates. There is no mention in state code of a “foreman” who is injected into the grand jury or trial jury by the action of a judge, although the Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts maintains that that process is legal. Local media have reported that “the foreperson is appointed by the judge and doesn’t necessarily have to come from the jury pool.”
the foreperson is appointed by the judge and doesn’t necessarily have to come from the jury pool. – See more at: http://advocateanddemocrat.com/story/21576#sthash.XqNwo0ZV.dpuf
Although the criminal courts in Tennessee have contorted the laws and court rules to allow the judges to choose the grand jury foreman, who often serves for years or decades at the judge’s behest, the District Attorneys General Conference has officially stated that the foreman is to be chosen from among 13 eligible citizens of the county who are selected by automated means.
Earlier this year, the Tennessee Attorney General declined to criminally prosecute District Attorney General R. Steven Bebb, who is named in Fitzpatrick’s current and previous complaints, after allegedly performing an investigation following extensive reportage at The Post & Email and The Chattanooga Times Free Press of Bebb’s alleged misconduct and criminal activity. The legislature, however, has taken action in an apparent attempt to remove Bebb from his post.
The Tennessee Supreme Court issued an opinion contending that a district attorney general “is answerable to no superior and has virtually unbridled discretion in determining whether to prosecute and for what offense.” Historically, the Tennessee General Assembly and the judiciary have acted at odds with and in contradiction to one another. The original 1796 Tennessee constitution contained no judicial branch, although the legislature later created one. Current General Assembly members are aware of the corruption within the grand juries and criminal courts.
Fitzpatrick’s four-page criminal complaint, dated December 16, 2013, can be read in its entirety here: 17DEC2013 GJCRIMCOM
Monroe County, TN has misrepresented the grand jury foreman as a juror and based criminal charges against Fitzpatrick and Darren Wesley Huff upon that false statement. On June 3, 2010, then-grand jury foreman Gary Pettway was described as “a juror” in indictments issued against both men signed by Angela Davis, who acted as foreperson for that day. Davis was herself serving illegally in a second consecutive term as a juror in violation of TCA 22-2-314.
On Tuesday and three previous occasions on which Fitzpatrick attempted to present criminal evidence to the McMinn County grand jury, the foreman, Jeffrey Cunningham, refused to recuse himself despite his having been named in the respective complaints. Instead, Cunningham brought the complaint in to the members of the grand jury and presided over them, then conveyed their “conclusion” to Fitzpatrick, as he did on Tuesday.
“This government is completely out of control,” Fitzpatrick said. “The grand jury is being controlled by the judges who appoint the foreman. Cunningham should not have been in the room today. He should have said, ‘I’m named in this complaint; I’m going to step outside and give it to Jack or Sally or whoever…You guys decide for yourselves…’ It’s astounding how serious this is; it’s breathtaking.
“Today was a special day because the report that I was bringing to them wasn’t my report; it was the report of the Attorney General‘s office for the State of Tennessee. They had a decision to make. I have very clearly demonstrated to them that Mr. Cunningham is not a juror, and they refused to look into this. The government is controlling the grand juries, and you cannot bring a complaint against the government because of people like Jeff Cunningham. It’s not just the foreman; it’s all of them. This grand jury is not protecting the people of the county,” Fitzpatrick said.
After Cunningham re-emerged from the grand jury room, which is also the office of U.S. Congressman Chuck Fleischmann, he informed Fitzpatrick that the grand jurors would not take action on his complaint and had asked that a deputy escort Fitzpatrick out of the building.
On December 7, 2011, Fitzpatrick observed Judge Amy Armstrong Reedy, who is named in the complaint submitted on Tuesday, peruse slips of paper containing the names of prospective jurors and choosing those she wanted, a fact which was presented to the appeals court on November 20 by Fitzpatrick’s attorney, Van Irion, who is defending him against the charge of “tampering with government records.”
One of the three appeals court judges appeared incredulous when Irion stated that Fitzpatrick had witnessed Reedy hand-picking jurors in open court. Fitzpatrick describes what Reedy did as “one example of how the system is vulnerable to human agency; picking your grand jury by pre-selecting them and knowing exactly what you’re going to get.”
The Tennessee constitution requires that evidence of a criminal nature be presented to a grand jury before a presentment against the person initiating a charge can be issued.
“This was historic. This grand jury in east Tennessee was shown unarguable, unassailable, unquestionable evidence that their foreman is not a juror, and they walked away from it, refusing to give their names. This is the kind of thing that would go into the history books when they used to be reliable.”
Tennessee state law requires that 13 people comprise a grand jury, but only 12 members routinely serve on a grand jury. Since the foreman is not a juror, but rather, represents the interests of the state, no grand jury in Tennessee can be operating impartially as is required by the Fifth Amendment to the Bill of Rights.
“This is the control that the government exercises over our jury system now. The jury system is completely unreliable and taken over. We don’t have any better example of that than what happened today. This is extraordinary. The person who was criminally accused, their buddy, the guy they’ve worked with all year, was standing in the room with them. The conflict here is just overwhelming,” Fitzpatrick told us.
Fitzpatrick has presented evidence to the local FBI in Knoxville as well as the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), both of which have chosen not to act.
When The Post & Email asked Fitzpatrick if he believed that the grand jurors did not want to know the facts about their proper function and that of the foreman, he responded, “It’s not that they don’t want to know; it’s that they have been told not to act. ‘Do not do anything at all. You’ve been picked for a special purpose; you are not to act against the government. Cunningham is your foreman; that’s that; live with it. If you don’t like it, leave, and we’ll get somebody else.’”
At 6:35 in the following recording, Cunningham states that he was serving as the foreman on Tuesday, despite having been named in the criminal complaint: 17 DEC 2013 FIRST CONTACT WITH CUNNINGHAM
Fitzpatrick said that the inaction of the grand jury on Tuesday “washes over every grand jury that’s had a court-appointed foreman for the last unknown number of decades. There was no more clear a case than the one that walked in the door today, and they said, ‘We’re not interested.’”
Cunningham did not make copies of the complaint for the grand jurors, but rather, “read it to them” while he stood in the room, where Fitzpatrick was not allowed to enter. Cunningham also told Fitzpatrick that he “did not appreciate” that Fitzpatrick had accused him of “blocking” criminal complaints from reaching the grand jury. “His physical presence is an influence; it cannot be argued,” Fitzpatrick said. “He’s the one who broke the seal on the package, even though it said, ‘Do not open unless you are a grand juror.’ He knew that he was named in the complaint, and he should have said at that point in time, ‘I’m sorry, but I know I can’t be in the room.’”
“This is exactly the function that these foremen have been serving for decades throughout the entire state of Tennessee. This is the reason that the judicial system is so highly successful in bringing in the amounts of money that they have been generating and sending people to jails and prisons for untold years.”
Cunningham did not return Fitzpatrick’s complaint or provide him with a signed statement from the grand jurors. 17 Dec 2013 PET 0838
Cunningham told Fitzpatrick that he “had made that mistake once and wasn’t going to make it again” when he provided Fitzpatrick a copy of the grand jury’s decision not to review his complaint containing their signatures. Tuesday’s “decision” was said to be “unanimous.”
At slightly past halfway in the following recording, Cunningham refused to return Fitzpatrick’s paperwork and contended that Fitzpatrick’s claims against him were “absolutely false.” Cunningham then said that “the grand jury would like for him to leave” and asked a deputy sheriff and chaplain to escort Fitzpatrick out of the building.

Blockbuster Exclusive: State of Tennessee: Grand Jury Foremen Are Not Jurors!
Posted By Sharon Rondeau On Tuesday, November 26, 2013 @ 10:04 AM
IN CONTRADICTION OF STATE LAW
by Sharon Rondeau
The office of the Tennessee Attorney General and Reporter claims that the grand jury foreman is a state employee, not a juror empaneled by state statutes
(Nov. 26, 2013) — The Post & Email can exclusively report that the Tennessee state attorney general’s office has stated on the record that the “foreperson” of all grand juries in Tennessee is IS NOT A JUROR as Tennessee state statutes require.
In December of last year, CDR Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III was convicted in the Monroe County, TN Criminal Court of “tampering with government records,” with Judge Walter C. Kurtz presiding.
Defense Attorney Van Irion submitted an appeal in the case of State of Tennessee v. Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, IIIprotesting CDR Fitzpatrick’s innocence. One of Irion’s points was that the grand jury foreman had over-served her legal term of one year. Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) states that following their service on any jury in the state, jurors cannot be resummoned for a minimum of 24 months.
This past September, in his official capacity as Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Justice Division, Kyle Hixson responded to the Fitzpatrick appeal, writing a brief on the state’s behalf of which The Post & Email first came into possession last Thursday afternoon.
At the bottom of page 13 of his brief, Assistant Attorney General Hixson wrote:
“…the foreman of the grand jury is not ‘impaneled’ from the ‘summoned’ members of the ‘jury pool.’ See Tenn Code Ann. §§ 22-2-306, -307, and -310. The foreperson is ‘appoint[ed]’ by the trial court. Tenn. R. Crim. P. 6(g)(1). As such, section 314, by its terms, does not apply to the appointment process of the grand jury foreperson.”
The state’s entire argument can be read here: HIXSON BRIEF
Section 314 reads as follows:
“22-2-314. Limitation on jury service.
“A juror who has completed a jury service term shall not be summoned to serve another jury service term in any court of this state for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the last day of such service; however, the county legislative body of any county, may, by majority vote, extend the twenty-four-month period.”
Hixson clearly reports that grand jury forepersons do not come from the “jury pool,” are never “summoned” to jury duty, are never “impaneled” as a jurors, and never subject to state laws which deal with jurors and jury duty. Simply stated, Hixson affirms on behalf of the State of Tennessee that grand jury forepersons are never jurors.
However, Tennessee state law commands exactly the opposite: Tennessee statutes say that grand jury forepersons must always be jurors.
Tennessee state law, as tailored and refined by the Rules for Criminal Procedure, require that thirteen (13) jurors (or members) populate all state grand juries.
Hixson has now said, in clear terms in a statement against the state’s self-interest, that criminal court judges add a non-juror to the grand jury by their selection of the foreman. The 12 jurors plus one non-juror combination consequently leaves Tennessee grand juries one short of the lawfully-mandated requirement of thirteen (13) jurors. This has been and remains the case for decades.
Tennessee state law requires that all state residents, in the process of becoming jurors, must initially be randomly selected into the jury pool. From that pool, a smaller number of individuals are randomly selected to be issued summonses to report to the courtroom on a particular day, at which time jurors for the grand jury and trial juries are selected in but a third process of random selection.
In each of these three random selection rounds, the process used must be one that does not allow for the possibility of “human intervention.”
The Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference describes the grand jury as:
…a group of thirteen citizens chosen from the jury panel. One of these thirteen is the fore person and will preside over the grand jury.
Assistant Attorney General Hixson now reports that criminal court judges have always been permitted to install a handpicked non-juror foreman, that is, to “appoint” the foreman from, as Monroe County Court Clerk Martha M. “Marty” Cook has said, “from wherever they choose“ because the state laws that apply to jurors do not apply to non-jurors.
As readers of The Post & Email are already aware, Fitzpatrick’s challenges to the scope and operation of Tennessee grand juries arose upon his discovery in 2010 that the Monroe County Tennessee de facto grand jury foreman, Gary Pettway, had held that position since 1982, a period of twenty-eight (28) consecutive years. Moreover, there was no appointing order or evidence that Pettway had ever been duly sworn in.
Fitzpatrick placed Pettway under citizen’s arrest in April 2010. State law enforcement officials ignored Fitzpatrick’s complaint and arrested Fitzpatrick instead. The Monroe County grand jury then indicted Fitzpatrick for attempting to intimidate a juror, Gary Pettway.
Fitzpatrick has demonstrated that the grand juries and trial juries in Tennessee are unduly influenced by prosecutors, grand jury foremen, and court personnel and contaminated by jurors serving consecutive terms in violation of state law (TCA 22-2-314). In one case in Davidson County, a grand jury foreman chosen by a judge was discovered to be a convicted felon, which violates Tennessee statute and required the review of approximately 800 cases over which the illegally-serving foreman had presided.
Grand jury foremen in Monroe County are reportedly “picked from wherever” the judge “chooses” by means of an unknown vetting process. Throughout Tennessee, grand jury foremen have served for decades or multiple times with occasional breaks in service.
Tennessee Code Annotated provides no special selection process for the grand jury foreman.
Grand jury tampering and judicial misconduct have been reported to The Post & Email in Campbell County, Roane County, Sevier County, and Madison County. Crimes against District Attorney General R. Steven Bebb of the Tenth Judicial District have been alleged but dismissed by Tennessee Attorney General Robert E. Cooper, Jr., although members of the Tennessee General Assembly are working to remove Bebb from his post.
Now, for the first time ever, Kyle Hixson explains that (1) Gary Pettway was never a juror, resulting in (2) the law limiting jury service does not apply to grand jury forepersons such as Pettway, and (3) judicially “appointed” Tennessee residents are allowed to serve in a career position as a county employee called the “grand jury foreman.”
Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) 40-12-206 is the only state statute which details the composition of every Tennessee state grand jury. The law commands that all grand juries be populated with thirteen (13) jurors (members) and up to five (5) alternates. The law does not provide for the judicial appointment of a “foreman” into a Tennessee grand jury.
The same law makes no distinction among the jurors (members). There is no distinction or separate-identity, non-juror “foreman.”
The process by which all jurors are to be selected is described as (1) Randomly populate the “jury pool,” (2) Randomly select potential jurors from the “jury pool,” (3) “Summon” the potential jurors to court for random selection into the grand and trial (petit) jurors for identified term dates, and (4) “Impanel” the grand juries and trial jurors.
Hixson, representing the state of Tennessee, publicly declared in his September 2013 appeals brief that, in Tennessee, grand jury foremen are not jurors.
Restating the state’s now first-time ever publicly pronounced policy position more clearly:
-
The grand jury foreman is not a juror.
-
A criminal court trial judge individually and personally selects, then specifically delegates (appoints, employs) grand jury foremen in Tennessee state.
-
The grand jury foreman does not come from a randomly-selected jury pool.
-
The grand jury foreman is not summoned to a courtroom to participate in the process of jury impaneling.
-
Tennessee state statutes that apply to jurors and jury duty do not apply to the grand jury foreman who is, rather, a paid Tennessee state employee.
-
Judicial appointment of a grand jury foreman who is a “non-juror, as Hixson described the office and process, is illegal under the Tennessee statutes.
The Post & Email asks if the State of Tennessee is committing the same crime as that which the U.S. Navy continues to perpetrate after more than 23 years in which an honest person is sacrificed and condemned for the sake of preserving a criminal enterprise in which a judge’s personal appointee masquerades as a member of the grand jury, unduly influencing that body and often casting the decisive vote to indict.

Subj: Indecent and unprofessional conduct individually as professionals and more widely as leaders of your respective organizations.
A dear friend of mine who just finished repairing the Rosary my father carried in his pocket during the suicide amphibious assault into northwest Africa on 8 November 1942 (OPERATION TORCH) reminds me that if I allow your lies to go unchallenged your lies become the truth.
This aggressive challenge is the product of her encouragement.
I should add there’s a Sergeant of Marines who is also adamant I put you two indecent men in your place (click here).
The facts:
Mr. Gary D. Pettway was exposed in January 2010 as an illicit, impostor foreman to the Monroe County Tennessee Grand Jury.
Madisonville, Tennessee is the Monroe County seat.
Pettway’s criminal business was thoroughly investigated and publicly reported in February 2010:
U.S. Grand Jury report
First Thursday in February 2010: Full page report in the Monroe County Tennessee Advocate & Democrat
Under Tennessee LAW (click here) all jurors must be selected in a random process that is totally free of any interference involving human agency. Monroe County officials select two Grand Juries for each calendar year to serve a 12-month term.
Jury #1 or panel #1 sits in January.
Jury #2 sits in February.
Jury #1 returns to the jury room in March.
Now pay attention here: Jury #1 sits in April…Jury #2 sits in May…Jury #1 comes back again in June (see the appendices to the U.S. Grand Jury report – click here).
Criminal court circuit judge Carroll Ross hand-picked Gary Pettway as Grand Jury foreman for calendar year 2010. Ross personally assigned Pettway as foreman to both of the TWO 2010 juries.
Of greater significance is this: Criminal court judges have personally appointed Gary Pettway as foreman before each of the TWO Monroe County Grand Juries for “approximately” the past 27-years.
Pettway has stood as foreman in front of at least 54 different Grand Juries
Gary Pettway was aggressively reported as a criminal in related matters leading up to January 2010.
Because Pettway was exposed in January 2010 as a government functionary, a hand-selected judicial puppet, each of the law enforcement agencies contacted from September through December 2009 were contacted again.
Other people and organizations responsible for oversight regarding “Pettway’s Grand Jury” were also alerted.
Beginning on 3 September 2009 and continuing to 30 March 2010 tens of criminal complaints naming Gary Pettway were filed with:
Madisonville, TN Police Chief Gregg Breeden.
Sweetwater, TN Police Chief Edie Byrum (Pettway is a Sweetwater resident).
Monroe County Sheriff Bill Bivens.
Tennessee Bureau of Investigations Special-Agent-in-charge Dennis Daniels (Chattanooga Division).
Federal Bureau of Investigations Special-Agent-in-charge Richard L. Lambert, Jr. (Knoxville Division).
Tennessee State Court of the Judiciary (J.S. Daniel – Disciplinary Counsel).
Official complaints, notices and alerts were filed with:
Each of the five Tennessee State Supreme Court Justices.
Each of the legislators to the 106th session of the Tennessee Legislature.
The Tennessee State governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general.
Members of local, national and Internet press.
Law enforcement officials agreeing that Pettway’s criminal business is…well…CRIMINAL report they are not authorized (allowed) to conduct Pettway’s arrest. These various officials are consistent in their continuing avoidance telling the public that they “lack jurisdiction.”
Again–after tens of criminal complaints naming Pettway over the course of 7 months no law enforcement agency or official claimed the power of arrest over a Tennessee Grand Jury Foreman.
Not a single one!
Nothing changed beginning in January 2010 when those same law enforcement officials took possession of criminal complaints naming Pettway an illegitimate, professional grand jury foreman.
On 8 March 2010 notice of necessity, authority and intent to conduct of series of Citizens’ Arrest was sent to local law enforcement. I’ve got the green card receipts.
Then there’s the electronically published version (click here).
No response.
Gary Pettway remains an obstruction to efforts to bring to the attention of Monroe County Grand Jurors criminal conduct that has nothing to do with Pettway (click here).
The County Grand Jury meets on the first Thursday of each month.
Presented with a series of facts and experiences that precisely describe the need for such action, and with time not being a friend, Gary Pettway was properly placed under Citizens’ arrest on the first Thursday in April 2010 as Pettway was in the act of committing a series of felony offenses.
Pettway’s arrest was carried out by the book.
Now for you indecent men, go back and read what you’ve allowed to be published. Then hold your heads in shame.
Explaining the right thing to do next is a waste of my time.

One last point to ponder as it goes to the scope and operation of PETTWAY’s GRAND JURY…
Pettway was arrested in front of Monroe County Grand Jury #1 on the first Thursday in April 2010.
Jury #1 witnessed the encounter now widely available on audio and video recordings.
Monroe General Sessions Court Judge J. Reed Dixon bound charges filed against me over to Monroe County Grand Jury #1 during his 4 May 2010 probable cause hearing.
Dixon assigned the case to Monroe County Grand Jury #1–meeting on 3 June 2010–to decided whether to return indictments granting permission for a criminal trial.
Gary Pettway is publicly announced to stand before Monroe County Grand Jury #1 as foreman this coming first Thursday in June 2010.

The JAG HUNTER
A government-liberal media fabricated fairy tale crisis meant to force continued public tameness!
Thursday, 6 May 2010
JAG HUNTER here with Sergeant of Marines Timothy Joseph Harrington:
Rig a fender, come alongside. Listen up – listen close!
SOETORO-OBAMA and Tennessee Democrat Governor PHIL BREDESEN are working closely together as chief executives constructing an unspeakable pretend public crisis in Monroe County Tennessee.
Liberal media correspondents are doing all they can to spread their fable.
The chief design of their manufactured crisis is to divert attention away from SOETORO-OBAMA’s TREASON and GARY PETTWAY’s approximate 27-year run as Monroe County grand jury foreman heading 54 or more grand juries (two grand juries in each year).
SOETORO-OBAMA and BREDESEN knowingly and falsely claim various loose collections of American Veterans and Militiamen planned a full-scale armed assault on the Monroe County Courthouse in Madisonville Tennessee.
SOETORO-OBAMA and BREDESEN are terrorizing and paralyzing the local citizenry using draconian, police-state tactics in reaction to their own invented threat. SOETORO-OBAMA and BREDESEN are using military-style force to instill widespread fear ensuring continued public tameness.
State and federal agent-provocateurs are frenzied in efforts to manipulate and portray the innocent acts of law abiding citizens as irrefutable evidence supporting the state-federal make believe plot that crazed Veterans and their camp followers are (were) coming to town to burn down the Monroe County Courthouse.
In their frenzy, state and federal law enforcement officials have falsely and separately arrested two Navy Veterans for rioting and inciting riot.
In recent days Federal Bureau of Investigation agents have swarmed several communities interrogating associates of the two arrested Navy men attempting to make the state’s case that riot did take place while even greater danger was approaching and imminent.
The feds and state law enforcement want you to believe that the two Vets were working together and with others to a dreadful purpose.
In fact, FBI officials are openly reporting to the press regarding their ongoing investigation looking at the two sailors when normally NO FBI comment would be uttered.
The reports are fabrications.
Neutralizing the Veterans and other law abiding Citizens goes to neutralizing the Vets’ meritorious criminal accusations naming SOETORO-OBAMA and GARY PETTWAY in TREASON and other serious felony crimes.
Law abiding Citizens are working hard to visit a criminal consequence on SOETORO-OBAMA and GARY PETTWAY.
Law abiding Citizens are working as hard to wrest control of grand juries away from indecent government officials who’ve taken over control of our county, state and federal grand juries.
Make no mistake. The chief design of federal-state manufactured crisis is to divert attention away from SOETORO-OBAMA’s TREASON and GARY PETTWAY’s approximate 27-year run as Monroe County grand jury foreman.
Now that you’re informed regarding what government men and women and liberal press reporters are doing to us the question begs: What are you prepared to do to stop them?

Darren Huff is held as a federal prisoner in the Blount County Jail (Correctional Facility).
Authorities gave out false information yesterday regarding the location for Darren’s hearing today.
Darren’s hearing was conducted this morning in a federal courtroom, not in the Blount County Justice Building. The outcome of the federal hearing is not known.
Federal marshals transported Darren to Knoxville earlier today to appear before a federal judge. The location of Darren’s hearing was not released to protect the safety of the federal officers conducting the transport.
Visitation today is not possible.
No information regarding status was authorized for release by any Blount County official (and several of them were approached). Jailers manning “Master Control” said Darren’s visitation privileges could not be determine until after Darren returned from Knoxville and his “classification” established.
No one would say when Darren was expected back to the Blount County Correctional Facility.
Jailers said to call: 865.273.5088 later today to ask about Darren’s status.
Receptionist Kim gave out this number to call: 865.273.5245.
PHONE CALLS: Darren can make calls out to folks only if Darren tries to call you first. Then you must agree to set up an account with the phone service provider. Folks are prohibited from setting up this account from the outside in. Darren has to make the first move.
The phone provider’s telephone number is 1.800.682.0707 should anyone have questions.
VISITATION: Darren must place individuals on a visitors list before any given visitation is authorized. Again, this can’t be accomplished from folks on the outside. Darren has to make the first move. You can’t put yourself on the list.
Once visiting hours are established visitors must present themselves 20 minutes before the commencement of any given visit to pass a security check.
Call 1.865.273.5088 with questions regarding visitation.
The alternate number: 1.865.273.5245.

FBI Special Agent Reed (Reid?) initiated Darren’s federal arrest warrant Monday night, 19 April 2010. We don’t know when the federal arrest warrant was perfected and made operable. It just so happened Darren was in Tennessee when the FBI decided to arrest Darren on Friday (30 April).
FBI Special Agent Reed went to Darren’s Georgia home Friday while Darren was being arrested in Blount County Tennessee. Reed was joined by four local sheriffs (team of five law enforcement officers). Reed held a federal court order and federal search warrant to take one of Darren’s legally registered and licensed firearms.
A hearing is scheduled for Monday (tomorrow), 3 May. Time: 1000 hours (10:00 a.m. EDT). The hearing location is unknown.
0600 hours (EDT) Sunday, 2 May 2010:
Nothing heard since yesterday morning. No media reports. Darren is still in a federal lockup facility believed to be in Knoxville (unfolding).
BACKGROUND:
Investigative Report OnGrand Jury ConductMonroe County, Tennessee (CLICK HERE)
GARY D. PETTWAY is one several principal criminal actors in events evolving since August 2009. Pettway is criminally accused of obstructing the 17 March 2009 criminal complaint naming SOETORO-OBAMA in TREASON (click here).
In January 2010 PETTWAY was exposed as a government functionary. Monroe County Tennessee circuit court judges have APPOINTED PETTWAY as the county Grand Jury Foreman for the past 27-years before 54 Grand Juries (TWO GRAND JURIES in each year). Tennessee State law prohibits any human intervention in the selection of any Juror.
PETTWAY’s obscene criminal conduct is manifestly reported to every state and federal law enforcement agency you can think to name.
No agency responded.*
Therein was created the necessity and authority to conduct PETTWAY’s Citizen arrest. Intent to carry out a series of Citizens’ arrest was made in writing to local law enforcement in early March 2010 (click here).
Darren Huff was traveling to Madisonville, Tennessee on 20 April 2010 in support of PETTWAY’s Citizens’ arrest.
Darren recognized PETTWAY’s obstruction had to be overcome in order to advance the Treason complaint naming SOETORO-OBAMA.
(*Note: The most recent report to the FBI in Knoxville was made in person to Duty Special Agent Whitehouse on Wednesday, 8 April 2010. The report was made face-to-face in the FBI Knoxville Division office. S/A Whitehouse said to send another package in, they’d take a look at it.)
UPDATE ON DARREN’S ARREST (unfolding):
Darren’s arrest yesterday goes to the events of 20 April 2010 (CLICK HERE – VIDEO)!
Beyond the charge of inciting a riot Darren is charged with intending to create civil unrest. These charges are aggravated as federal authorities falsely accuse Darren of transporting weapons across state lines to carry out his alleged “riot**” and “civil unrest” in Madisonville, Tennessee on the 20th of April 2010.
FBI Special Agent Chuck Reed (Reid?) visited the Huff’s Georgia home on the evening of Monday, 19 April 2010. FBI S/A Reed questioned Darren regarding Darren’s plans for the next day.
Yesterday S/A Chuck Reed seized one of Darren’s legally licensed and registered weapons from the Huff’s Georgia home. Darren was in Tennessee at the time.
It’s reported Darren was arrested in Blount County, Tennessee.
It’s believed Darren is being held in a Knoxville, TN federal detention facility.
It’s likely no more information regarding Darren’s legal status will be made publicly available until at least Monday, 3 May (the day after tomorrow).
FBI Special Agent Chuck Reed’s cell phone number: 760.291.7364.
Between 0820 – 0905 hours local today (Saturday) another attempt to effect the Citizen’s arrest of GARY D. PETTWAY was carried out in Sweetwater, Tennessee. GARY PETTWAY lives at 1107 Broad street in this city (information taken from a memo County Clerk Martha Cook push-pinned to a public bulletin board outside Cook’s office in the Monroe County Tennessee Courthouse).
Sweetwater Patrolmen Jim “Jimbo” Kile and Police Sergeant John Brewster responded.
A Monroe County Deputy Sheriff parked farther away on a side road–purposefully out of my sight–providing back-up to the two Sweetwater Policemen (neighbors saw the Deputy who later reported on his presence).
Officers Kile and Brewster were informed regarding the plight of Darren Huff. It was explained in specific terms why the question going to GARY PETTWAY’s criminal conduct was growing and demanded reconciliation.
The two police officers were told that there are now two persons accused of inciting to riot while participating in a Citizens’ arrest of GARY PETTWAY on two different dates (1 April and 20 April 2010 (CLICK HERE and CLICK HERE).
Officers Kile and Brewster explained they had no jurisdiction to arrest PETTWAY.
It was explained and documented that Kile and Brewster did hold jurisdiction to arrest. It was made clear to both policemen they could participate and backup a Citizens’ Arrest.
They went on to explain that even holding arrest authority the two officers would need to secure an arrest warrant from a court clerk or magistrate knowing no clerk or magistrate in the state of Tennessee is authorized to issue the warrant.
Neither Kile nor Brewster accepted the authority a the Citizens’ Arrest Warrant filed in Monroe County on 1 April 2010.
Said differently, GARY PETTWAY is not merely above the law…PETTWAY is beyond its reach!
(**Note: It takes four people to riot in Tennessee. Darren was driving alone as he approached Madisonville, TN on 20 April. Darren was alone when pulled over in a felony stop by three Tennessee State Trooper cruisers and two unmarked police SUV s).
FIRST REPORTS:
Darren Huff is reported arrested by Federal Bureau of Investigation agents last night here in Tennessee (in neighboring Blount County).
Specific information on Darren’s FBI arrest is sketchy.
Darren Huff is a Navy Veteran. Darren Huff is a law abiding Citizen.
Darren is being held on the federal charge of crossing state lines with a gun with the intent to incite a riot.
Darren Huff is in Tennessee to learn how to effect the Citizen’s arrest of Gary D. Pettway–Monroe County’s government appointed Grand Jury Foreman of 27-years (before 54 different Grand Juries).
Darren has been accosted by law enforcement officials three times in the past month while supporting Gary Pettway’s Citizen arrest (an FBI visit on the evening of 31 March, Darren’s 1 April felony road stop while driving to Madisonville, Tennessee (video-click here), and then last night’s FBI arrest).
