[NOTE: All the people named in this
article have put themselves at the forefront of what we believe is a campaign to
unseat Sheriff Glenn Palmer. All of them are either in news stories
being interviewed, or on public documents, like the DPSST complaints
against the sheriff. In putting themselves at the forefront of this
onslaught against an incredible human being, they have invited the
light of scrutiny. So, I scrutinized. The contents of this article are
my findings. I make no apology for exposing what I believe to be the
truth. If you are one of the perpetrators of this disgrace, SHAME ON
YOU.]
[EDIT : 02/29/2016 - Edited to correct an error. The below mentioned son of the wannabe sheriff works for ODF (Oregon Department of Forestry,) not USFS. But in saying that, it changes NOTHING and does not detract one iota from my information. Actually, it shows ANOTHER agency connection, which, to me, makes it worse and puts a big exclamation point after everything I've said so far! So, thanks to the irate blog commenter (Miner) for pointing that out - we're interested in nothing but the truth here, so a BIG THANK YOU to you. My error has been corrected, small and insignificant as it was. It also goes to show that there are WAY TOO MANY agencies doing the same crap, wasting tax-payer money, interfering in people's lives and all with such similar acronyms - it's difficult to keep them all straight!
I wonder if Miner the 'miner' worked with the wannabe sheriff, back in the day when he had some claims with his parents? But, if Miner really was a miner he wouldn't have his head shoved so far up the ass of agencies. Unless, of course, he once worked for them too. He's anonymous, so, can't check that. Obviously not too sure, is he? ]

I read a lot of 'news' articles during
my research into the John Day Senior Center public meeting on 26th
January. The Ammon Bundy-led group from the Malheur National
Wildlife Refuge Occupation were on their way to that meeting when
their vehicles were intercepted, they were arrested, and LaVoy
Finicum was shot dead.
Most of the 'journalism' made me want
to pluck my own eyes out at the utter bias and near glee of the
reporters, and the majority of the attached comments. We know that
the mainstream media have talking points, and they write
whatever drivel fits their given directive; journalism-by-numbers, if
you will. And as for the comments, I've never even seen such vile,
venomous, hate-dripping comments in my entire life. You would think
they were talking about Hitler or Stalin, maybe Dahmer or Ramirez,
not a group of peaceful protesters. It was disgraceful. And it
continues.
Totally by chance, I came across
something that absolutely stunned me. It will teach you that in this
day and age, you can take no one at face-value anymore.
We all need to take a closer look at
the people who found, run and work for non-profit corporations,
people who are environmental lobbyists and political
committee-sitters, those who hold positions in local politics. We
must start researching candidates before we put that X
in the box. We must be aware of where their funding comes from, who
works for them, before we send our hard-earned cash to that
non-profit organization. There is absolutely no excuse now for us
not vetting all players who enter the political arena, especially on
our local level.
I've been looking into the motley crew
surrounding what I believe is a deliberate attempt to unseat Glenn
Palmer as sheriff of Grant County in the next election by using smear
tactics, lies, agents provocateurs, staged “protest,” and Delphi
technique assaults on anybody who supports him.
You will see, by virtue of simply
connecting a few dots between what might at first seem to be regular
local folks exercising their constitutional right to assemble and to
free speech, appears to be a staged event involving employees of the Malheur
National Wildlife Refuge / Forest Service (and their assorted
“volunteers” and toadies,) in order to marginalize Sheriff Palmer
and publicly shame his supporters into abandoning him.
Firstly, let me tell you something – that will NEVER happen.
We got your six, Sheriff Palmer.
We got your six, Sheriff Palmer.
Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer
stands in the way of several agencies and their agendas. The idea
behind his removal would probably be to install a new, more
agency-friendly sheriff who would be a puppet for the Forest Service
et al, maybe one who has family members who work for them, and a
history of working closely with them himself. This would allow such
an agency (among others) to resume their aggression and lawlessness
against the people of Grant County.
Is there such a person? Who is running for sheriff against Glenn Palmer? Is there a candidate who
has all these connections? A candidate with a grudge and an axe to
grind? I couldn't possibly speculate.
What if somebody was running for the
position of County Sheriff and did have ties to all those people and
agencies, and was actively taking part in an underhanded plan to
steal away from the people their last defense against the jack-booted
tyranny that is waiting ahead for all of us?
Could you trust somebody who would even consider being a party to something as disgusting and disgraceful as a smear campaign against a beloved sheriff?
Would you vote for that person? Would you want somebody capable of such dirty tricks to be your sheriff? I
should hope not.
I have a belief, based on a ridiculous
amount of research and my knowledge of the John Day Meeting, gleaned
from news stories, personal accounts from those who were in
attendance at the meeting, and research into the backgrounds of those
who took part in the “protest.”
I am asking questions and stating a series of facts based on that research, based on what I have been told, based on what I have observed in video and audio of the meeting, based on what I have uncovered about the relationships of all those “protesters” to each other and the Forest Service / Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. This is the outcome of that investigation. And it has thrown out some serious questions as to certain people's motives.
I question when I see and hear things
that I find jarring, things that stick out like a sore thumb, such as
the suspected-provocateur outburst at the meeting in John Day Senior
Center.
Sometimes what we observe on the
periphery of a situation is more interesting than the main event
itself. I was curious about the protest outside; what it was all
about, and who some of the people attending it were. What was their
agenda? Why do they despise a Sheriff like Glenn Palmer, a fair,
constitutional sheriff who ended his contract for deputies with the
Forest Service due to many complaints of abuse and aggression against
the people of his county? Who on earth are they? Are they radical
environmental extremists? Are they government employees? Are they
people with a personal grudge against Sheriff Glenn Palmer? These
were the questions that arose during my research.
I know none of these people. I have no
history with them. I have no personal experience of them. What I
present here are simply facts based on gleaning info from publicly
available data, freely available on the internet, and most of which they have offered to the public themselves. I did nothing special or out of the ordinary to find this information.
The whole thing made no sense to me. I figured that
the objectors had to have either an agency agenda, or an enviro
agenda. There were some obvious speculative answers, but I like
evidence, I like proof. I like corroboration and confirmation.
Sometimes none of those things are forthcoming. When I can't find any
supporting evidence, I do not publish. When I have nothing to
corroborate my gut feeling, I do not publish.
I got tips (personally) from several
different sources (all of whom attended the meeting,) that most of
the protesters were agency-connected. So, naturally, I was curious
and felt compelled dig. I never publish anything based on hearsay,
but there were so many people talking about it that I had to check it out.
Could it possibly be true? I was sure I wouldn't be able to find
anything to back those witnesses up. Surely such slick,
sophisticated, educated people who are so far above us mere mortals wouldn't put information out in the
open, on the internet, that would back up the accusations I'd heard,
read, and been told, would they?
Enter something a friend mine calls
institutional arrogance.
One particular article I read on The
Oregonian rag stated that a woman by the name of Judy Schuette was the organizer of the protest against Sheriff Glenn Palmer and the Malheur
Occupation. [Delphi for Dummies – associate your target
with something you think is universally viewed as bad.] I used
her name as a search term to narrow down articles that were
particularly about the meeting and “protest” in John Day, instead
of the whole Malheur debacle in general.
You might think she's insignificant.
Just some old lady. Until you learn who her husband is. He is Steve
Schuette, John Day City Councilor and Council President. And he used
to be a senior trooper with OSP's Fish & Wildlife Division. FWD are the enforcers of
the laws, rules and regulations concocted by various state and federal agencies.

Another of the protesters was Kay
Steele, (AKA Kathleen A Scheurer) a “volunteer” for the USFS at
the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and who worked for eight years
to establish the Chintimini Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, a
wildlife refuge Non-Profit Corporation. Her husband, Terry
Steele, is a “photonaturalist” (a pretentious way of saying nature
photographer,) who has delivered presentations to Oregon Natural
Desert Association, Audubon Society, USFS, and Malheur National
Wildlife Refuge among others. Read Terry and Kay's bios.
Apparently, Terry enjoys watching injured wildlife being captured by predators.

The
Steele's may seem largely insignificant on the surface. But could
they actually be government contractors? According to GovTribe.com,
a site that provides "tools and data to help federal government contractors" they may be
just that. (Data may be out of date or incomplete. Confirmation of
any contracts between the Steeles and the USFS will be
FOIA'd.)
We believe the photo above is Kay Steele, the old lady trying to intimidate the rest of the crowd with her camera. Her double-sign demands that the Bundy bunch to Leave now! Take our sheriff
with you, and Support
Our Elected Commissioners. Well,
of course she would say that, wouldn't she? It would be rude not to
support the Monarch-like rulers of Eastern Oregon - the Y'alluminati.
A simple search for Judy Schuette,
whom The Oregonian
proclaimed as the organizer of the “protest” threw out all
sorts of other things – like one of Judy Huntley Schuette's
Facebook Friends being Valerie
Luttrell, one of the useful idiots who submitted a frivolous DPSST complaint against Sheriff Palmer. Another of Judy's bosom buddies is the wife of a certain wannabe Sheriff, a man who is the son of a former USFS employee, the father of a ODF employee, and the uncle of a USFS employee.
[I'm not going to link to this stuff – you can find it easily under their names if you want to look at it – it is all openly available and shared by them on their Facebook pages. I just don't want to drag people's innocent family members and friends into the treachery their relatives have conjured.]

I would also like to remind everybody of the enviros in the corner at the John Day meeting, particularly the one on the left, holding up a piece of cardboard with Backcountry Hunters & Anglers on it. The non-profit corporation's board and staff are infested with ex-Forest Service employees. Take a look at the STAFF and BOARD OF DIRECTORS bios.
There are many more names I could drop
right now, but I'm not going to. I think what I have published here
on this blog is sufficient to cast doubt on the authenticity of the
“protest” and the motives of the participants. But that doesn't
mean we don't have more treacherous toadies expose. We do. And we
will. We're on it.
On of the most interesting things I
came across were the USFS employee posts in an open forum named THE BIRDING LIST
Using his federal government email address to post, Clark Reames, the Wildlife Program Manager for the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, is frustrated that Sheriff Palmer is “...not getting the message.”
Pretty sinister sounding. But what does he mean? The message about
what?
No big deal? He has a right to protest whatever he wants. He's a citizen. The constitution of the United States assures his First Amendment. No problem there.
But then it gets a little bit strange
and creepy.
Mr. Reames recounts the story of the fateful night as he gathered with several of his USFS / Malheaur Refuge co-workers and his wife with her "anti-militia sign." Just as he's about to enter the door of the Senior Center in John Day to attend the public meeting his boss, MNWR Forest Supervisor (also in attendance at the protest,) gets a phone call from the USFS Regional Forester (who I would deduce is Jim Peña, Region 6 Pacific Northwest.) They were instructed not to enter the building. He was then informed that there had been an incident with the Bundy et al, on the road to John Day...
From here, you can just read for
yourself so you can see the context, and that I am not being
selective with what you see, or taking something out of
context. In fact, reading all the posts as a whole, and seeing the
complete character and context together, as I did, is far more
damning than picking through it for something sensational. I mean, the man longs to have David Ward from Harney County as his sheriff, for the love of God!
You can see how a strong, righteous Constitutional Sheriff doesn't suit these people, can't you?

I interpret the whole tone of the
conversations as arrogant and superior. But if you've ever dealt
with a federal land agency employee, that will come as no
great surprise to you.
The only thing I am interested in is
the truth. Nothing more, nothing less. Everybody should want to know
the truth, no matter how painful it might be to learn it.
I believe that this group of people are deliberately trying
to unseat Sheriff Glenn Palmer. He does not deserve this. This is a
gross injustice. But they know their task is impossible without utilizing dirty
tricks, intimidation, and lies. That's what we are here for – to expose their
lies, expose their dirty tricks.
People of Grant County - do not allow yourselves to be intimidated by these people! You are strong, smart, good people. I know you will stand for your sheriff as he has stood for you. He is surrounded by vipers right now. You are his anti-venom.

We here at End the BLM blog will do
everything we can to keep shining the light of truth on this Astro-Turf
group of usurpers and prevent their plan from coming to fruition.
