The former soldier from Sweetwater, Tenn., who beat charges of war crimes has won another legal victory.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces last week threw out Ray Girouard’s negligent homicide conviction in the deaths of three Iraqi captives during a May 2006 raid on a suspected training camp for terrorists. (Link)

Monroe County TN Corruption Turns Violent

By JB Williams

What started out over a year ago as what seemed to be a simple citizen effort to report government wrong-doing in a Treason case against Barack Obama, filed by Retired Navy Lt. Commander Walter Fitzpatrick III, turned into something unexpected when the Monroe County justice system obstructed justice and turned its evil sights on the Commander.

Since then, Fitzpatrick has been arrested and jailed twice, humiliated by local character assassination, threatened, roughed up and accused of inciting riot, which in Tennessee code can apparently be used against anyone when three or more citizens attempt to address their local public servants in a public place.

Fitzpatrick now stands trial on a host of rigged charges, all at the hands of local corrupt public servants who seem to have a history of such activity, and a growing tendency to become violent when citizens try to make public the level of crime and corruption in that quaint little Tennessee community.

Corruption becomes Deadly

On Saturday July 17, 2010 – Republican Election Commissioner Jim Miller was brutally murdered in a Chicago mob style slaying and set ablaze in the trunk of his car.

Monroe County Sheriff’s Deputy Capt. Kenny Hope was immediately a “person of interest” in the case, but has since been “cleared” by TBI officials.

What does this have to do with the Treason charges filed against Obama in Monroe County? That depends on whether or not Commissioner Miller had seen similar evidence filed with his office concerning election fraud in the 2008 election, and whether or not Miller was about to shine a local light on that or other reports of systemic corruption in Monroe County…

The Violence Continues

As news of local corruption concerning Fitzpatrick spread throughout the community, other local citizens began to come forward with other similar and much more bizarre horror stories with crime family type charges against the local Sheriff Bivins and what is locally referred to as his “henchmen.”

An online Christian News Wire published at story accusing Sheriff Bivins of involvement in the murder “cover-up.”

The following day, locals involved in that report were visited by Bivins “henchmen” as they were leaving an East Tennessee Health Care facility. Chilling events of that day are described in a follow-up Christian News Wire release dated July 30, 2010.

From that report – “Two Christian Citizens against Corruption workers reported attempting to leave a parking lot of an East Tennessee Health Care Facility around 3:00 pm yesterday when a black Ford F-150 pulled up behind them blocking the workers’ vehicle from moving. The car’s driver, Daniel Morgan, identified the driver of the black truck as Travis Jones, a detective of the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department. Wearing no uniform and showing no badge or identification, he angrily ordered the driver and passengers out of the vehicle. Mr. Jones made a holstered gun visible during the ordeal.

Fearing for the safety of his passengers, Mr. Morgan cautioned the passengers in the vehicle from leaving the vehicle as detective Jones was not displaying typical police behavior. According to passengers, Travis Jones was forced to move his truck as an ambulance became impatient with him blocking the road. Mr. Jones left the scene after he observed Mr. Morgan making a cell phone call to state officials, during which he made a police report of the incident to Sergeant Kevin Smith of the Tennessee Highway Patrol.”

With each passing day, more and more local citizens are coming forward with stories of systemic corruption in the Monroe County government that seems to date back years.

Locals report threats from local officials that have caused them great fear in coming forward in the past. But recent events seem to be causing more fear of remaining silent, than fear of retribution.

It All Started with a Treason Case against Obama

Tennessee has some of the strongest citizen Grand Jury and citizen arrest laws in the nation. Yet when Monroe County resident Walter Fitzpatrick attempted to deliver evidence of fraud and treason to his local Grand Jury, he was met with obstruction and corruption that is now spiraling into violent acts of retaliation by the very people sworn to uphold the rule of law in Monroe County.

Clearly, the small town good-ole-boy system is peeved that a local peasant like Fitzpatrick would dare question their authority or challenge their acts of corruption. Yet this is exactly what our nation’s Founding Fathers would have done and would call upon each of us to do, in the preservation of freedom and self-governance.

As an increasing volume of evidence against local officials comes out, those officials seem to be using an increasing level of thuggery in an attempt to silence locals and protect their neat little game.

But small town thugs were in for a rude awakening when Fitzpatrick delivered the news that he would not stand against them alone…

Enter Federal Defense Attorney Steven Pidgeon

Attorney Steven Pidgeon will be handling the Fitzpatrick case in Monroe County and beyond, and he wasted no time filing demands for production of evidence that could very well sink the Monroe County cabal in their own history of corruption and obstruction of justice.

This case has nothing to do with the charges brought against Fitzpatrick in the effort to silence Fitzpatrick on the matter of Obama Treason. The case is much larger than just Monroe County and seems to have brought the kinds of systemic corruption to be found in governments all across the nation into the limelight.

With a national spotlight complete with a federal defense attorney in place, all eyes are on Monroe County public servants and just how far they are willing to go to keep their boot on the neck of the local community.

Monroe County citizens willing to come forward should contact Attorney Steven Pidgeon’s office for further assistance. (425) 605-4774 (tel) – 425)818-5371 (fax)

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.

0920 hours (EDT) Sunday, 2 May 2010:

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).

Comments

Sergeant of Marines Warren Bonesteel writes:

If, at this point, people don’t believe that The Constitution is no longer in effect, or that every level of government is corrupt, they’re delusional.

From The Supreme Court to your local courthouse, justice in America no longer exists.

You can’t ‘restore’ what isn’t in use. You cannot expect justice from an unjust and corrupt system.

…and if you think the Republican Party will change anything once they regain power, you probably need medical supervision. Whether Republican or Democrat, once they get a taste of power and wealth, all other considerations become moot.

Until Americans unite as one, with a single goal – freedom and liberty for all – nothing will change. Indeed, if we returned to governing ourselves by the precepts and ideals of The Constitution, life as you know it is over. If we don’t? Life as you know it is over.

We have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Illinois’ Stephanie Flater contributes:

Several of us were in Madisonville, Tennessee on April 20 to attend Lt. Commander Walt Fitzpatrick’s hearing, the first military person to charge Obama with treason.

He was put in jail for 6 days for attempting to arrest the Grand Jury Foreman, Gary Pettway, who has been serving for 27 years.  The maximum length of service is 24 months.  Gary Pettway is a government functionary, a conflict of interest in the Citizens Grand Juries.

Please spread this far and wide.  We must come together to get Darren Huff released from jail on Monday.  We are at war with a corrupt entity known as the government.  Obama doesn’t want this information to hit the mainstream media, so it is OUR JOB to get it out there. Do it for America!
