Angela Wetzsteon, as many law students do in The State of Montana practiced law unsupervised. The problem with this is, a court order which allows them to do this specifies a supervisory attorney in good standing with the Montana Bar.
It is said that On August 8, 2007 Angela Wetzsteon did prosecute a case which by right of speedy trial (Amendment 6, US Constitution) had no business being tried, specific to the case, the case hinged in justifiable force, and the inalienable right to protect property in Art. II s. III of the Montana Constitution.
It is said that for Some Reason this was a deliberate, and outrageuous act on the part of the Ravalli County Attorney Office, and George Corn as lead attorney.
Strangely enough, George Corn was listed as Angela Wetzsteon supervisor: which means that he was "personally and professionally liable (MT Student Practice Act of 1975, order #12982)" for all actions of Angela Wetzsteon, so Angela Wetzsteon answers to Ravalli County George Corn.
George Corn, the Corrupt Ravalli County Attorney has been best friends with Montana Senator Max Baucus for 20 years and seems to above all Montana Law that YOU have to Abide by.
County Attorney's SHOULD not be Above the Law - a Montana County Attorney Should Enforce the Law. YOU, the Public KNOWING the Truth and Demanding Transparency and Accountability is the Only way Corrupt County Attorneys like George Corn can be brought to justice.
Audry Shultz also practiced law "independently" at the Missoula County Attorney office prior to her '09 graduation from the University of Montana Law School where she obtained a Juris Doctorate.
She now works for the public defenders office in Billings, after being a prosecutor in the same state, in violation of Montana state law. Student Practice has been the norm in Montana since at least 1996 when a candidate for County Attorney in Montana was granted "student experience" to be an eligible candidate for office in the state. She also worked in the Missoula County Attorney Office in 1990. This problem, spans 20 years in Montana.
Will Irma Russell, the new UM Law Dean speak with anyone about this? It is Said that She refuses to meet with the public at a publicly funded law school in Montana. Is student practice harmless; well think of the damage of an undertrained, unsworn, and an individual who has not yet passed the Bar Exam in the State of Montana.
Do they know the rights, privileges, and ways of being a certified court officer, will you get the full cup of justice in the last ranked state in the union for justice, Montana? Think of the thousands of people who have suffered through not having appropriate counsel, lost their jobs, lost their lives, or simply lost their livelihoods.
In the State of Montana, it is a crime (criminal contempt MCA 45-7-309) to violate a court order.
For some reason, court officers and the judicial system never thought the people of Montana, would figure this criminal scheme out.
They have all the power to take individual rights, and keep safe this ilegal practice from the people. The Montana Supreme Court is defying its own edict and order to allow student practice to improperly occur in the State of Montana.
Should we allow those who break the law to continue on to be lawyers in Montana, or more likely, this is the test to make sure they can be Montana Lawyers....can you violate someone's rights, and commit a crime, in Angela's Wetzsteon's case quid pro quo to land a job?
Angela Wetzsteon was an award winning student at UM Law in Missoula, and passed the test to become a criminal as well.
Why was The Montana Attorney General office was quick to support Angela Wetzsteon in her illegal activities...the same office who supposedly protects Montanans from unauthorized practice of law.
This is the ultimate conflict of interest unless the Montana Attorney General is filled with people willing to make threats...like from Steve Bullock himself with respect to protecting George Corn in 2007 after this student practice.
It seems that the Montana Attorney General office promotes and protects criminal activity.
Makes Sense, as even with the Lincoln County Sheriff Recall we got letters of ... WELL no Help at all from the Montana Attorney General even with over 40 rapes, and no where to turn for Justice, for Accountability...
Why Does the Montana AG Support a UM Law Student within a clinic prosecuting without a license?
Welcome to Montana, spend all of your money, leave, or we will take your rights, your livelihood, and possibly your life. - this is how people feel, and it seems to be mostly what is deemed "outsiders" - however.. me a 4th Generation Montanan standing up for the Truth and For Victims rights.. well I too got set up, money and rights taken and ran out..
The Montana Bar Association, Montana AG, Ravalli County George Corn protecting those like Angela Wetzsteon and hundreds like her in Montana is a HUGE part of the problem that is stripping Montanas of their Rights and taking away all quality of life.

Mat Stevenson: not to be trusted. Mat Stevenson, Montana Attorney is a defendant in $9M civil rights suit .
" Mat Stevenson does not want you to find the $9M civil rights suit to which he is a defendant . Do Missoula voters in HD 96 want to elect a deceptive candidate? Mat Stevenson would sell his mother for a political or financial gain. The Missoulian came to his defense attempting to block a former post about Mat Stevenson.
Mat Stevenson as an attorney hands clients over to the courts and does not defend them. I paid Mat Stevenson $5000 so he could turn me in for something that was not a crime. That was the end of my career, outside of my constitutional rights. Furthermore, Mat Stevenson tipped off the law enforcement to harass me as I turned myself in to authorities; he took a lot of my money, and my future, and had some fun in the process.
Mat Stevenson should not be trusted with your vote, or your representation in Helena. Mat Stevenson threw a different case for Ravalli County with respect to "horse abuse". The charge required intent to harm the animals.
Mat Stevenson showed the green pastures the hoses ate in within the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, similar to the greener pastures he wishes to have in Helena, MT. No matter your party, Carolyn Squires (D) deserves your vote in HD-96 on November 2.
There no words to describe the disgusting nature of Mat Stevenson, more adeptly described as a Shyster.
He plays the game that judges, prosecutors want him to play at the detriment of his clients. Due to him running for office, it gives me the freedom to tell the truth about him without fear of lawsuit. Your person is open to criticism when running for office, and at a new standard for public view. I've waited 3 years.
Mat Stevenson is the epitome of the old boy network personified as a 30 something bastard. Mat Stevenson plays with the dirty boys, trying to elevate himself above the scum he deals with daily. Montana justice ranks worst in the nation: much of the reason lies with Mat Stevenson. The truth hurts, the public deserves better. "

Judge Michael Prezeau - Corrupt Montana District Court Judge Terrorizing Montana Citizens AGAIN.
Story on the Corrupt Libby Montana Judge Michael Prezeau
a Story of ONE Montana Judge -
Email your Story to Crystal@CrystalCox.com
Expose Corrupt Montana Judges - NOW !!!
"September 29,2009
History:
My name is Susie Fisher and the following are true and accurate events pertaining to the marriage, separation, and divorce of myself and my husband Jed Stuart Fisher.
I am Jed’s third wife and we were married in 1988 in Idaho.
The atmosphere of our marriage was enforced early on following our vows. Mr. Fisher controlled every aspect of my life. He began by manipulating me into thinking that A good wife does and doesn’t do the following:
1. He cancelled my checking account and insisted that if I loved and trusted him I would want this.
2. I was no longer allowed to continue my education in Missoula, He convinced me that he would quit his job in Cut Bank, mt. as the weed department director as soon as he found work in an area where I could go to college. Never occurred.
3. He chose my jobs. I was no longer able to be Susie I was now his possession and He had a plan, for his life and I would behave and perform accordingly.
I could not work at any restaurant, grill, bar, and he insisted I take a job as a county employee so that he could keep an eye on me and so that I would be located next door to his shop.
4. Prior to our marriage I owned a home in cut bank and it was rented to a man working for Burlington northern railroad. I purchased this house when I was 18 or so years old and it was in my name only so it had to go. I received nothing from it.
5. Next he sold my car which I also owned outright and purchased a blue ford pickup truck for himself. He said that when I went back to school in a year It would be able to move our belongings. End of anything in my name. My freedoms gone. 1988.
6. He did owe lots of money though, he bought and owed over 13,000.00 for an iroc z, he owed over $8,000 in credit card debt for his ex wives furniture, his trips etc. He used all my money to pay these debts off. In fact I paid for new furniture for 4 years from sears that was taken by Mr. Jed Fisher's 2nd wife.
7. The first act on his behalf of physical violence came after approximately 4 weeks after our marriage. He apparently was watching me and following me each time I left our home and on this instance after I returned from the store he was waiting for me at the door and he grabbed me by the throat and hair half dragging me half throwing me into a side chair in our foyer.
He was a different person and I will never forget the fear I felt and how I was so confused at why this was happening. He was a mad man .
He told me that he saw me wave at a man in another car as I was driving.
I was so terrified and I felt guilt without even knowing what I had done, or if I did wave. he was not allowing me to even think. It turned out that the man was really Amber Withers, a girl whom I had known since we were little, we were tom-boys and played baseball all through school up until I left for college in Missoula. This was lesson one. And just a taste of the nightmare being Mrs. Jed Fisher would become for me and my children.
I will not list all the specific events and how over a brief amount of time he owned me, He had me trained to obey, to feel that It was my fault that he had to punish me. A favorite statement from him is “if you were a better wife and knew how to be the wife I deserve than none of this would happen.”
I was cut off from all of my friends and my family.
Most people who do not live and endure ongoing brainwashing, abuse, mental attacks, do not understand why I stayed. All I can say is I was so focused on pleasing him and making sure I didn’t get in trouble or do anything wrong that I didn’t see or even notice that Susie was gone.
I wanted nothing except a family, children and I assumed that he was right and He made me believe that he was all knowing, perfect, and that I came from less than he in every way so he was only helping me to do and be what a good wife is.
I became pregnant with Roman in 1989 and I knew already that I was being lied to about every promise Jed Fisher made me.
I was put in my place mentally and physically any time I challenged him.
Mostly he fabricated events to gain pleasure from torturing me.
I had these and thousands of these forms of mental and physical torture bombard me on what seemed like moment to moment, day to day, Jed reminded me of how easy he could destroy me and would how He would be believed and I would never see my children. So I had better give when he said give, do what he said, smile when he said, obey!!!!!!
And even if I was perfect he still found satisfaction both sexually and emotionally from these endless games of torture towards me, towards and in front of my children. Roman then soon it would be both he and My Meggie Sue.
These characteristics are very important because he has and is using them on my children right now only he is a master of them and is confident that he can get, destroy, control, manipulate and has a right to do so to anything that he owns including our children, he did own me or to get the end results that benefits Jed Fisher’s narcissistic, evil need to devour and control.
‘"No one leaves him alive”.
Not me, he made sure he took
what I lived for.
I am forever partially dead because I can not get back the lost moments of love I needed to give my children when they needed me.
I continue to be walking but he murdered the most beautiful, special, hopeful, and loving mother, person I have ever known…. Susie. And I somehow was unable to see it or stop it until it was too late.
The abuse of my children began in the womb.
When I was 8 months pregnant with my son Roman. Jed Fisher, myself, his father, Karen Fisher, Ray Bouma, and Kim Bouma were all staying in a hotel room in Kalispell.
We had come because Jed Fisher was attempting to get the weed position there. I was left in the hotel room and upon Jed’s returning Ray asked Jed S. Fisher to repay him the money that apparently Jed had borrowed and lost gambling.
Jed Fisher was unemployed and we had my unemployment and his, a baby on the way, no insurance, and Jed had told me that he had quit gambling.
I asked Ray if Jed owed him money and he said yes. Jed said nothing in the hallway he waited until we were in our room where he began to choke and hit me.
Once again it was my fault, he was punishing me for his actions, his lies, his being caught in a lie and my embarrassing him in front of Ray and his family.
He was attacking me so violently that his dad, Jim Fisher, [now deceased] heard it inside his room and came running to find out what was going on. Pappy, Jim saved me that night, he grabbed Jed, and threatened to kill him if he ever laid a hand on me again.
I packed my suitcase and was leaving, again Jed began his pattern of abuse and then remorse. He was crying and begging me to stay.
I stayed because pappy asked me to give him another chance. Pappy had a bad heart and Jed said that I would kill him if I left.
Pappy, Jim Fisher, kept his promise. I went to stay with him in Conrad until I delivered in Milk River Alberta. Jed Fisher stayed in Kalispell as a weed dept. employee.
Pappy took me and came in with me to all my doctor appointments. He made sure that I was not alone and I was relieved that he loved me and my unborn baby so much.
Jed Fisher seemed not to care and in fact this situation was perfect Jed had me under thumb he would call and intensely question me about where I went, who spoke to me, what I said, etc.
He continued this behavior throughout our marriage and even now he at times does it on my cell phone. The calls were between 20 to 30 times a day. He psychologically traumatized me over our marriage in the same manner he now is enforcing onto my children.
Here is an example before I move on.
I had never been allowed to go anywhere out of town for fun without him, nor anywhere period. But when I was asked to join a former friend on an overnight trip to Idaho to watch her son play soccer I got up enough nerve to tell Jed I wanted to go.
He punished me with tyrants of verbal assaults, threats, shoves, pushing, for 2 weeks leading up to my going. This behavior usually worked because I would be unable to take his abuse before and after if I went against his rules or even dared to ask to do something. This time, I believe in 1999, I went anyway.
He had over 8 messages waiting as we checked into the hotel. I phoned him and he said I needed to get my ass home or he was coming to get me.
I remember crying thinking oh God what did I do now. I begged him to tell me. He played the manipulative and oh so polished mental abusive games of threatening to take Roman from me. To destroy me.
To take everything we owned. He would hang up. I would wait and was hysterical there was nothing I could do so far away. After hours of this he said he was almost to my room and then he told me the following:
“Some man dropped off a book on our porch this morning after you had left and he said you borrowed it to him while you both met in physical therapy at the pool. Jed continued to add, that it was a nasty filthy book and that this man circled in red all these erotic, sexually explicate words and phrases as a secret note to my and this mans intentions sexually.”
If you can imagine 10 years of this and I was still no where near understanding this man I had married all I knew was that for sure, innocent or guilty, didn’t matter I was going to be made to pay emotionally and physically.
I was made to get into Jed’s car and we headed home after his seeing me suffer for over 100 miles, crying and denying knowing any man, ever cheating, ever thinking of cheating, Jed turned to me and laughed. He laughed. He then said he found my Stephan King book and he circled all the swear words in it and the whole thing was a joke and a test to see if I was cheating on him.
I was so relieved that I had not done anything wrong and that I was not loosing my mind and forgetting I had, that I actually was relieved. Jed Fisher gets what he wants and if he wants to destroy a person he will. These are his words his threats.
These are the things being inflicted upon my little girl Meaghan and Roman.
In 2000, I found out I was expecting again, I felt so blessed. I had suffered a terrible and disabling accident and that prompted a failed surgery. I was so happy to be able to be a mother again and most of all to know that Roman would not be alone that he would have family. Jed’s family never accepted us. We were not from the same social status and now pappy was dead in 1990.
Kim and Karen hated and were extremely jealous of me I believe it was because of Jim fisher’s love for me and who I was. I never ever spoke bad about them nor anyone, I still made sure they received cards and gifts, I tried so hard to get them to not only show love to my children but to Jed.
They cared about money, material possessions, who they associated with and the coveted everyone else’s happiness and ran everyone without the material wealth of theirs down.
Karen Fisher never showed one act of love to Roman nor to Meaghan during my marriage to Jed, and I would be shocked if she has since, they are incapable of true love.
I was told I could not get pregnant by many doctors and so when I found myself in excruciating pain in late August I Believe of 2000, Roman called for help Jed met us at the ER and was mad at me because he was there, but he went to all Mt. doctor appointments he refused to let another man undressing me without his supervision and he was going to make sure that I was not enjoying myself or cheating I guess with the doctor.
When The ultrasound showed a baby, in front of Roman Jed Fisher demanded that the doctor kill it.
In fact those were his first words and recall Roman began to cry. Jed backed up and said” I am not having another child I plan on retiring with my money in a few years”.
The doctor stepped out and Jed told Roman that if I have this baby that I will not love him any more. Jed Fisher beat me pregnant with Meaghan in Kalispell, in Conrad ,Severely.
I had Meaghan and he continued his wrath. She and I had to stay in the living room because he was verbally abusive to me and the children if he was disturbed from sleep.
He never aided in Meaghan’s care and in fact refused to even acknowledge her saying “I did not want her she is yours, I am not doing or paying for anything for her.”
I tried to save money he found it. I moved out when Meggie sue was a few weeks old because once again he choked and hit me, but the ongoing mental and emotional abuse was hurting my children and I had promised God that I would take care not to let them be hurt.
That I would protect them always.
Jed hated our children he was jealous of the time I spent with them.
He was jealous and tormented Roman if Roman showed me affection and not him first and more. Jed put on a great show for the public coming off as this caring father and husband, which further drove a wedge between he and Roman.
Roman could see that he was different and of course Jed blamed me saying that I am telling Roman not to love him. Crazy stuff.
The looks, the threats, the personality changes, we were living in fear of Jed’s next attack either mentally, physically, and both every moment of every day. The only time he claimed Meggie sue is when he could use her to look good to others.
In June of 2002 I was diagnosed with lesions M.S. and this is the factor that set off the chain of events leading up to present. Jed’s first response was with a smile to tell Roman that his mom was going to die.
Roman was alone with him and I heard this and took both children into the living room began comforting them and assuring them that mom wasn’t going anywhere.
Jed Fisher next canceled our life insurance company and requested that a rep come to get more life insurance on me before anyone knew I had been diagnosed with MS.
The night that the insurance man came Jed told me he would pay the extra premium because he would get the money.
He then told me to be at the house for the appointment with the insurance man I was getting these special vitamins for the kids and was a few minutes late.
I knew when I drove up that I was in trouble the look from Jed was familiar. After getting the added coverage, Jed told the man I was paying and told me to write a check from the account I opened after I moved out when meggie was just born. I did so. When the man left Jed was still mad and said he was going back to work for awhile and that he would eat his dinner then.
When he left I and the children went to get some fireworks. I assumed I had time since Jed was at work, but when I returned Jed had not gone to work he left circled and came back to check on what I was doing.
He began to assault me calling me names threatening me shoving me pushing me demanding his dinner. Roman saw him strike me hard in the back as I was cooking and Roman got involved, I tried to assure Roman that I was fine, all is fine and to stop, but now Jed was just getting going Meggie was in her highchair right there. I thought I had avoided and that Jed would stop when I dished up dinner for the kids and took the trash to the street.
From outside I heard Roman screaming I ran in to find that Jed had him on the kitchen floor and was hitting him Jed was upright and using his boots.
I freaked out and told Jed to stop I grabbed up Roman and told Jed to get out . Me getting hit is one thing but no one touches my children. No one.
Jed began his routine of in and out getting one little thing at a time so he could keep assaulting me as with each entry. When he took a pillow I shut and locked the door and called the cops. He was outside threatening me. Telling me Was going down, that he would take my children. The police came and arrested him he was charged with assault actually 2 counts one on a minor.
He was out of jail and to this day has set out to seek revenge for my telling his secrets telling what a monster he really is.
He hunted us using and with the help of his allies, people he convinced that I was the bad person. People who believed he would never do such things. I was focusing on my children. Their needs, their little emotions and making them feel safe and ok. He lied on the stand, he lied in court, he blames everything on everyone else.
You can get the court file in Flathead county prosecutor Cynthia Forded came from Missoula after I phoned the attorney generals office stating that Flathead was refusing to prosecute this crime because Jed’s affiliation and status with the county. I had no one. No real friends, no one.
I was so afraid after Jed was let out and after his friends and employees began coming around and as they all made false accusations to welfare on his behalf that I took my children to the Abby shelter in Kalispell.
Jed was relentless he took the money and credit cards from our joint accounts. He stole all of the silver, coins, gold, and assets that I and He had put away for Roman and now to be Meaghan’s too. I was not handling anything too well, I just wanted him to leave us alone and yet I was never going to have this.
After 1 ½ years our divorce (which I filed for) was finalized in Libby Mt. in I believe June early July. After Jed committed purjury in both our divorce court and in Flathead criminal court he plead guilty and on the stand made a public declaration of guilt and apology to Roman he refused to do so to me.
I was told that if he was allowed to not go to prison on these 2 counts that for the rest of his life they would show on his record and that if he ever assaulted anyone, child, woman, anyone again he would automatically be made to serve up to 10 years the original deferred sentence.
The judge in Libby made comments so anti mother, and so pro abuser that he actually enabled Jed to continue his vengeance upon me and my children.
Jed and his friends were calling welfare up till the last moment(Robert Olsen attorney in cut bank) will tell you this the lies being told about me were off the wall and attempted to make me out as a murderer, a drug addic, a crazy person, invalid, sexual predator you name it they tried to lie about it. People I had never met nor had they met me or my children.
I have never heard so many lies and witnessed so much criminal and illegal actions as I did in the court room in Libby.
I was openly berated by Judge Prezeau.
He was the biggest enabler of Mr. Jed Fisher’s crimes against us.
So after that last day in court I had planned on moving to Arizona but the wellfare calls gave Judge Michael Prezeau a reason to keep me for 30 days pending yet another investigation which by the way welfare had done for over a year and found nothing bad about any part of my parenting in fact found no grounds for one tiny thing let alone the outrageous accusations Jed and his allies were calling them about.
So when 30 days were up I phoned welfare in Helena and they told me no file was open and that I had no infractions period. I had chosen to change my mind and move to Georgia because I was threatened by Jed and Mary Sevier that they were and had purchased a home in Arizona and would follow us there.
I and my children could no longer bare this abuse and it was my choice to protect my children so I filed an address change with the Libby court and after getting a home lined up researching schools, etc. We moved to Georgia.
Jed was to be notified of my whereabouts per Judge Michael Prezeau order and I did this ASAP. I also let Jed Fisher speak to them children but he did not want to until after I had been there about 6 or 7 months then all of a sudden he began calling asking questions about the area. He called many times a day saying how sorry and wrong he had been. He said and begged that we forgive him that he had changed had found God so to speak.
I was a fool because I was so hoping he would change that we would mean enough to him to change or that our children’s lives and well-being would that I believed him and in doing so was hunted.
He located the department of child services and he and his allies called them sent copied reports they had made of their lies in Kalispell and all it took was me going into welfare on the advise of a church member to sign up for housing aid. Once my name went into the system unknown to me Jed’s final strike was set in motion.
I am at fault for moving to a place where no one knew me. I had no friends and was so much a mom did not set out to win over and influence people. I love being at home and that was all I needed and wanted. I still focus all my energy on my home my baby my family.
Well, I had my son in one of the finest private schools in the nation. A Lutheran school he loved. He was head of the soccer team, a basket ball star, and elected class president his first year.
He had maintained an A average even there and we were finally able to attempt to live free from threat and enjoy life. I had waited till school let out and chose to find a cheaper condo in Peachtree city because my rent was $1500.00 per month and Meaghan would need tuition money soon also being unable to work I had a fixed income.
During this move the old condo was to be vacated and the new one was not yet ready, so I moved myself and my 2 children into a suite with bedrooms and full kitchen area just until the balmoral condo was cleaned and sprayed for bugs(this is a must in Georgia) even the million dollar homes have big roaches and all sorts of bugs.
We were already getting calls from Fayette county welfare and I tried to explain that the lies were just an abusive x trying to continue to hunt and punish me. The dfcs came 3 times at both places and found me to be a great mom and found that my children were extremely well taken care of.
But Jed persisted and in June I believe 31st of 2003 at 7:30 am over 7 big men and a woman came beating on my door threatening for me to open up they were taking my children.
These men were not in police uniform no they wore blue polo’s and tan shorts they had no badges and no warrant.
I had my children in my arms scared to death, I told roman to call the sheriff office and he got another district.
Within moments I was watching my entire door come in on us and hearing my children scream as they witnessed me be struck repeatedly by feet, knees, fists and as these men did this, people came and took my children I told Roman to stay with Meggie no matter what that It would be ok. These people were hitting me like I was a murderer a criminal.
They charged me with obstruction of justice because I did not open the door before they beat it in and took me to a jail.
They tried to give me shots and medicine but I was in shock all I know is that my children are out in the world without me somewhere alone.
I begged for someone to tell me where they were.
I was shoved down the halls and the officers made remarks like "you’re where you belong," Like I did something bad.
Well, in court it did not take long for all of the people Jed Fisher used to pull this off to realize they had made a huge mistake.
The judge had issued a verbal warrant to take my children with force due to calls from Jed and his Friends, family in Montana making unbelievably incredibly false lies, reports, about me to DCFS, there, in Georgia, to Churches they originated from Flathead county departments, Jed Fisher’s departments, employees, family, friends most I had not even seen in over 2 years and some I do not know to this day.
So either they could say oops and in their minds run the risk of being not only sued but in big trouble for illegally beating down my door, beating a innocent mother in front of her children, a disabled mother with MS and a spinal disease and ongoing neurological injury or they could try to find something to justify their actions.
Jed Fisher rolled in and left with my children.
They didn’t care what he was, what crime he had just been found guilty of, they knew by now that I would follow my children in fact they told me to go get them back in Montana.
This was after 6-8 months of Roman and Meggie being traumatized assaulted abused and held for no reason in two separate foster programs in fact they put Roman in a home for bad boy. Jed said he was dangerous to Meggie and Jed is trying it again right now. Motification in custody should occur as soon as possible based on what is in the best interest of Meaghan Suzanna Fisher.
The following circumstances are stable and accurately describe what Meaghan is being denied per the currant custody order which has placed her in the sole care of Mr. Jed Fisher.
First and foremost, I am Meaghan’s natural mother and I not in the past nor ever have I placed my daughter in harms way, inflicted any harm on her, deprived her of anything spiritually nor physically. I am a responsible, well adjusted mother, parent and wife. I have no criminal background and will prove that what Meaghan is being denied has is and will continue to harm her development into the young lady, person and far into her adulthood if in fact action is not taken immediately.
1. As of 2005 I have been a permanent resident of Conrad Mt.
2. I have established and continue to maintain the best home environment for a baby girl born on December 4th 2006, to myself and my soon to be husband Calvin VandenBos, her name is Trinity Danielle VandenBos.
I have and will always care for my step son Devin VandenBos, 13 years of age, and as of Thursday I am now continuing to support and to care for My son Roman Fisher. Whom was again verbally and physically assaulted within the home of his father Mr. Jed Fisher in front of my daughter age 7 Meaghan Suzanna Fisher. (see police report and statements filed in Kalispell by Roman Fisher).
I have a beautiful home which is my and my husbands, We own and operate a very successful business here in Conrad and we are both very involved in all aspects of our children’s education, futures, care, nurturing, health, safety, and within my and my children’s home I provide 24/7 for all their needs.
I do not owe debts above the amount of monthly home maintenance needs and that which I incur on a daily basis to heat, cloth feed, educate, nurture, and care in all ways for Trinity, Roman, and soon Meaghan. I have paid from my social security benefits per month for the past 4 years the full amount designated by the order now in effect.
With this I have also saved on my own money for Roman to go to College at Glacier Bank, Trinity’s future education, and my Daughter Meaghan Sue’s college.
I have been denied all rights to my daughter Meaghan and to my son Roman since they were taken wrongfully from me in Peachtree city Georgia and upon Libby’s judge Mike Prezeau’s order to without cause enforce that order since the beginning of 2005.
I returned to Montana because Georgia gave my children to Mr. Fisher when he presented an Order from Libby stating that Judge Michael Prezeau revoked the original full custody he had given me upon the end of our divorce being final in Libby in 2002.
Georgia had no choice but to relinquish my children due to the law between states such that Judge Prezeau had over-ridden Georgia.
In Georgia I did nothing I was found to even be innocent of obstructing the illegal taking of my children by the DFCS and that was thrown out, but only after Georgia was sure I would follow my children back and fight for them in Montana.
The order and Georgia code states as follows:
Reason for removal of my children by beating me and illegally breaking down my door: Deprivation Which is listed as follows :( mind you this is my words after reading the laws to fight for my children)
1. A child is deprived if he or she is without proper education and or if he or she is being denied an education that is at least equivalent to public school and from a certified home schooling situation.
2. A child is considered deprived if he or she is abandoned, living without any guardian, parent, or relative to care for and to maintain , provide the basic needs food, shelter, health, safety, guidance, and or spiritual teaching
3. A child is abandoned or considered so if they do not receive proper medical care and or not taken to the doctor when injured or sick
4. A child is considered deprived if they do not have a place to live with the basic necessities i.e.: water, toilet, safe from hazards, appliances, food, bed clothing, basic needs I have a 2800 square foot home on 2 lots, I have successfully fed, clothed, and obtained/maintained the best in health care a pediatrician Dr. Jennifer Hall whom will also see Meaghan, Trinity is being cared for in the highest quality of life with not only her basic needs met, but with a standard higher than 99% of all children in America. Meaghan received this care and more while with me. And will be given her own Room which I have hand painted with fairies and Hanna Montana items.
With a brand new bed from penny’s and all brand new items sheets, her own towels, I have supplied her room with shoes, coats, clothes, pajamas, books and every thing she will need. I am looking forward to letting her choose her own kitten and have refused to get a cat until she is with me to be a part of the experience.
5. Meaghan’s home with me is located in a very safe and extremely friendly small town. The High school tennis courts are across the street and 2 blocks away is the grade school she will be attending.
I have spoken to and am setting up a support system within the second grade so that she is able to transition without any trauma. Conrad has a higher quality of education and is rated higher than any of the Flathead Valley’s grade schools.
The class size is ½ that of Hedges and there has never been an instance of violence, drug use, illegal happenings of any kind on the school property or within the school. Unlike Kalispell, Conrad is a safe and tight nit community with an emphases on family, children, the elderly, and overall community health.
Meaghan has a new sister whom is 17 months old, She and Trinity have been denied the ability to love one another to bond to grow up as sisters. This is devastating to both little girls. Meaghan’s father Jed Fisher has informed Meaghan that I had another Baby girl and that I do not want Meggie.
I had full custody when I and my children came to start over in Georgia, my children were/are gone, stolen without a mother only because of the crimes committed by Fayette County Department of Child Family Services, by their illegally not following the codes, by their desire to take these lies and unfounded alligations to Judge Terrance Schell, By This Judge’s abuse of power, by the corruption that once set in motion as he ordered me to be “Taken with Force and my children put into the corrupt system” Georgia Fayette County had the opportunity to not break the laws and codes that are in place to protect my children and me they chose to ignore the laws, to harm my children forever, to destroy my life and their life with a mother who loves them, Georgia and specifically Judge Terrance Schell has committed the most aweful crimes against an inocent mother and her two children.
This man and hie co-conspiritors knew that they made a mistake moments after believing a convicted abuser 300miles away, moments after they beat me arrested me tore my children from one another, When and Why was there not one Honorable member of the system willing to stand up and admit this and then move as forcefully to reunite and right the harm done to me and my children???
Not one agency was/ is brave enough to do thew right thing even now I can not get the transcripts to clear my name to be with my Meggie Sue.
Shame on you Fayette County DFCS more so on you Judge Schell, you have the power to destroy and you did use it recklessly, but you have no Honoring of the Truth, the rights of the innocent, the lives of my children mean nothing to you.
Who will stand up and clear my name this false record of lies??
Who is brave enough?
I never thought that in America such EVIL and ABUSE of power could happen like this. I stand here as a Broken American Mother who ’s fear is not terrorists from over the seas But those Domestic Terror agents that have/ had the power to take what God put on this earth for this Mother, this Great mother to protect.
My Son and His sister’s lives are forever broken and they did nothing they Trusted that I could protect them, rescue them save them.
They are entitled to JUSTICE and WE demand that the Court and if Necessary God Himself make Fayette County DFCS Overthrow the order to illegally take my rights as a mother, to slander me, to Threaten me to sign a guilty form, and Reverse the order so that I can go get my little girl home. No other court will even rule or let me have a hearing because they simply upheld the Fayette County Order.
Judge Michael Prezeau has illegally allowed gossip, false evidence, false testimony, and his own open hatred for myself to not only take but to keep my daughter Meggie Sue from me for 6 years.
Judge Michael Prezeau is connected to Jed Fisher by way of his ex clerk Pival whom is the sister of a man that one of Jed’s main conspiritors paid cash to for under the table referrals to Culligan out of Kalispell.
I can prove this because Bob Pival was paid thousands of dollars by Shelby Nash Hunter and I was also forced by her and Culligan when I worked there to give Pival’s electric 10% of every order he referred to me.
I have first hand evidence that Shelby contacted pival for Jed Fisher during my divorce and the following heartings to get Nadine Pival to not only rule against me, but to not even allow me the right to return to court or move my court to get a fair trial.
We are talking about Crimes that a Judge, his Clerk, and Jed Fisher’s positions within Flathead County have legally kidknapped my daughter and my son , when my son was finally free He found me terrified that what he and his sister were told would come true.
And the worst of those threats did for my children because for 2 years Meggie Sue has been kept from all contact with Roman her only brother.
Judge Michael Preazeu refused to hear my case as he has and continues to do to Roman’s. Libby has no idea what mis-use of power is occurring there. ..."

"September 29,2009
History:
My name is Susie Fisher and the following are true and accurate events pertaining to the marriage, separation, and divorce of myself and my husband Jed Stuart Fisher.
I am Jed’s third wife and we were married in 1988 in Idaho.
The atmosphere of our marriage was enforced early on following our vows. Mr. Fisher controlled every aspect of my life. He began by manipulating me into thinking that A good wife does and doesn’t do the following:
1. He cancelled my checking account and insisted that if I loved and trusted him I would want this.
2. I was no longer allowed to continue my education in Missoula, He convinced me that he would quit his job in Cut Bank, mt. as the weed department director as soon as he found work in an area where I could go to college. Never occurred.
3. He chose my jobs. I was no longer able to be Susie I was now his possession and He had a plan, for his life and I would behave and perform accordingly.
I could not work at any restaurant, grill, bar, and he insisted I take a job as a county employee so that he could keep an eye on me and so that I would be located next door to his shop.
4. Prior to our marriage I owned a home in cut bank and it was rented to a man working for Burlington northern railroad. I purchased this house when I was 18 or so years old and it was in my name only so it had to go. I received nothing from it.
5. Next he sold my car which I also owned outright and purchased a blue ford pickup truck for himself. He said that when I went back to school in a year It would be able to move our belongings. End of anything in my name. My freedoms gone. 1988.
6. He did owe lots of money though, he bought and owed over 13,000.00 for an iroc z, he owed over $8,000 in credit card debt for his ex wives furniture, his trips etc. He used all my money to pay these debts off. In fact I paid for new furniture for 4 years from sears that was taken by Mr. Jed Fisher's 2nd wife.
7. The first act on his behalf of physical violence came after approximately 4 weeks after our marriage. He apparently was watching me and following me each time I left our home and on this instance after I returned from the store he was waiting for me at the door and he grabbed me by the throat and hair half dragging me half throwing me into a side chair in our foyer.
He was a different person and I will never forget the fear I felt and how I was so confused at why this was happening. He was a mad man .
He told me that he saw me wave at a man in another car as I was driving.
I was so terrified and I felt guilt without even knowing what I had done, or if I did wave. he was not allowing me to even think. It turned out that the man was really Amber Withers, a girl whom I had known since we were little, we were tom-boys and played baseball all through school up until I left for college in Missoula. This was lesson one. And just a taste of the nightmare being Mrs. Jed Fisher would become for me and my children.
I will not list all the specific events and how over a brief amount of time he owned me, He had me trained to obey, to feel that It was my fault that he had to punish me. A favorite statement from him is “if you were a better wife and knew how to be the wife I deserve than none of this would happen.”
I was cut off from all of my friends and my family.
Most people who do not live and endure ongoing brainwashing, abuse, mental attacks, do not understand why I stayed. All I can say is I was so focused on pleasing him and making sure I didn’t get in trouble or do anything wrong that I didn’t see or even notice that Susie was gone.
I wanted nothing except a family, children and I assumed that he was right and He made me believe that he was all knowing, perfect, and that I came from less than he in every way so he was only helping me to do and be what a good wife is.
I became pregnant with Roman in 1989 and I knew already that I was being lied to about every promise Jed Fisher made me.
I was put in my place mentally and physically any time I challenged him.
Mostly he fabricated events to gain pleasure from torturing me.
I had these and thousands of these forms of mental and physical torture bombard me on what seemed like moment to moment, day to day, Jed reminded me of how easy he could destroy me and would how He would be believed and I would never see my children. So I had better give when he said give, do what he said, smile when he said, obey!!!!!!
And even if I was perfect he still found satisfaction both sexually and emotionally from these endless games of torture towards me, towards and in front of my children. Roman then soon it would be both he and My Meggie Sue.
These characteristics are very important because he has and is using them on my children right now only he is a master of them and is confident that he can get, destroy, control, manipulate and has a right to do so to anything that he owns including our children, he did own me or to get the end results that benefits Jed Fisher’s narcissistic, evil need to devour and control.
‘"No one leaves him alive”.
Not me, he made sure he took
what I lived for.
I am forever partially dead because I can not get back the lost moments of love I needed to give my children when they needed me.
I continue to be walking but he murdered the most beautiful, special, hopeful, and loving mother, person I have ever known…. Susie. And I somehow was unable to see it or stop it until it was too late.
The abuse of my children began in the womb.
When I was 8 months pregnant with my son Roman. Jed Fisher, myself, his father, Karen Fisher, Ray Bouma, and Kim Bouma were all staying in a hotel room in Kalispell.
We had come because Jed Fisher was attempting to get the weed position there. I was left in the hotel room and upon Jed’s returning Ray asked Jed S. Fisher to repay him the money that apparently Jed had borrowed and lost gambling.
Jed Fisher was unemployed and we had my unemployment and his, a baby on the way, no insurance, and Jed had told me that he had quit gambling.
I asked Ray if Jed owed him money and he said yes. Jed said nothing in the hallway he waited until we were in our room where he began to choke and hit me.
Once again it was my fault, he was punishing me for his actions, his lies, his being caught in a lie and my embarrassing him in front of Ray and his family.
He was attacking me so violently that his dad, Jim Fisher, [now deceased] heard it inside his room and came running to find out what was going on. Pappy, Jim saved me that night, he grabbed Jed, and threatened to kill him if he ever laid a hand on me again.
I packed my suitcase and was leaving, again Jed began his pattern of abuse and then remorse. He was crying and begging me to stay.
I stayed because pappy asked me to give him another chance. Pappy had a bad heart and Jed said that I would kill him if I left.
Pappy, Jim Fisher, kept his promise. I went to stay with him in Conrad until I delivered in Milk River Alberta. Jed Fisher stayed in Kalispell as a weed dept. employee.
Pappy took me and came in with me to all my doctor appointments. He made sure that I was not alone and I was relieved that he loved me and my unborn baby so much.
Jed Fisher seemed not to care and in fact this situation was perfect Jed had me under thumb he would call and intensely question me about where I went, who spoke to me, what I said, etc.
He continued this behavior throughout our marriage and even now he at times does it on my cell phone. The calls were between 20 to 30 times a day. He psychologically traumatized me over our marriage in the same manner he now is enforcing onto my children.
Here is an example before I move on.
I had never been allowed to go anywhere out of town for fun without him, nor anywhere period. But when I was asked to join a former friend on an overnight trip to Idaho to watch her son play soccer I got up enough nerve to tell Jed I wanted to go.
He punished me with tyrants of verbal assaults, threats, shoves, pushing, for 2 weeks leading up to my going. This behavior usually worked because I would be unable to take his abuse before and after if I went against his rules or even dared to ask to do something. This time, I believe in 1999, I went anyway.
He had over 8 messages waiting as we checked into the hotel. I phoned him and he said I needed to get my ass home or he was coming to get me.
I remember crying thinking oh God what did I do now. I begged him to tell me. He played the manipulative and oh so polished mental abusive games of threatening to take Roman from me. To destroy me.
To take everything we owned. He would hang up. I would wait and was hysterical there was nothing I could do so far away. After hours of this he said he was almost to my room and then he told me the following:
“Some man dropped off a book on our porch this morning after you had left and he said you borrowed it to him while you both met in physical therapy at the pool. Jed continued to add, that it was a nasty filthy book and that this man circled in red all these erotic, sexually explicate words and phrases as a secret note to my and this mans intentions sexually.”
If you can imagine 10 years of this and I was still no where near understanding this man I had married all I knew was that for sure, innocent or guilty, didn’t matter I was going to be made to pay emotionally and physically.
I was made to get into Jed’s car and we headed home after his seeing me suffer for over 100 miles, crying and denying knowing any man, ever cheating, ever thinking of cheating, Jed turned to me and laughed. He laughed. He then said he found my Stephan King book and he circled all the swear words in it and the whole thing was a joke and a test to see if I was cheating on him.
I was so relieved that I had not done anything wrong and that I was not loosing my mind and forgetting I had, that I actually was relieved. Jed Fisher gets what he wants and if he wants to destroy a person he will. These are his words his threats.
These are the things being inflicted upon my little girl Meaghan and Roman.
In 2000, I found out I was expecting again, I felt so blessed. I had suffered a terrible and disabling accident and that prompted a failed surgery. I was so happy to be able to be a mother again and most of all to know that Roman would not be alone that he would have family. Jed’s family never accepted us. We were not from the same social status and now pappy was dead in 1990.
Kim and Karen hated and were extremely jealous of me I believe it was because of Jim fisher’s love for me and who I was. I never ever spoke bad about them nor anyone, I still made sure they received cards and gifts, I tried so hard to get them to not only show love to my children but to Jed.
They cared about money, material possessions, who they associated with and the coveted everyone else’s happiness and ran everyone without the material wealth of theirs down.
Karen Fisher never showed one act of love to Roman nor to Meaghan during my marriage to Jed, and I would be shocked if she has since, they are incapable of true love.
I was told I could not get pregnant by many doctors and so when I found myself in excruciating pain in late August I Believe of 2000, Roman called for help Jed met us at the ER and was mad at me because he was there, but he went to all Mt. doctor appointments he refused to let another man undressing me without his supervision and he was going to make sure that I was not enjoying myself or cheating I guess with the doctor.
When The ultrasound showed a baby, in front of Roman Jed Fisher demanded that the doctor kill it.
In fact those were his first words and recall Roman began to cry. Jed backed up and said” I am not having another child I plan on retiring with my money in a few years”.
The doctor stepped out and Jed told Roman that if I have this baby that I will not love him any more. Jed Fisher beat me pregnant with Meaghan in Kalispell, in Conrad ,Severely.
I had Meaghan and he continued his wrath. She and I had to stay in the living room because he was verbally abusive to me and the children if he was disturbed from sleep.
He never aided in Meaghan’s care and in fact refused to even acknowledge her saying “I did not want her she is yours, I am not doing or paying for anything for her.”
I tried to save money he found it. I moved out when Meggie sue was a few weeks old because once again he choked and hit me, but the ongoing mental and emotional abuse was hurting my children and I had promised God that I would take care not to let them be hurt.
That I would protect them always.
Jed hated our children he was jealous of the time I spent with them.
He was jealous and tormented Roman if Roman showed me affection and not him first and more. Jed put on a great show for the public coming off as this caring father and husband, which further drove a wedge between he and Roman.
Roman could see that he was different and of course Jed blamed me saying that I am telling Roman not to love him. Crazy stuff.
The looks, the threats, the personality changes, we were living in fear of Jed’s next attack either mentally, physically, and both every moment of every day. The only time he claimed Meggie sue is when he could use her to look good to others.
In June of 2002 I was diagnosed with lesions M.S. and this is the factor that set off the chain of events leading up to present. Jed’s first response was with a smile to tell Roman that his mom was going to die.
Roman was alone with him and I heard this and took both children into the living room began comforting them and assuring them that mom wasn’t going anywhere.
Jed Fisher next canceled our life insurance company and requested that a rep come to get more life insurance on me before anyone knew I had been diagnosed with MS.
The night that the insurance man came Jed told me he would pay the extra premium because he would get the money.
He then told me to be at the house for the appointment with the insurance man I was getting these special vitamins for the kids and was a few minutes late.
I knew when I drove up that I was in trouble the look from Jed was familiar. After getting the added coverage, Jed told the man I was paying and told me to write a check from the account I opened after I moved out when meggie was just born. I did so. When the man left Jed was still mad and said he was going back to work for awhile and that he would eat his dinner then.
When he left I and the children went to get some fireworks. I assumed I had time since Jed was at work, but when I returned Jed had not gone to work he left circled and came back to check on what I was doing.
He began to assault me calling me names threatening me shoving me pushing me demanding his dinner. Roman saw him strike me hard in the back as I was cooking and Roman got involved, I tried to assure Roman that I was fine, all is fine and to stop, but now Jed was just getting going Meggie was in her highchair right there. I thought I had avoided and that Jed would stop when I dished up dinner for the kids and took the trash to the street.
From outside I heard Roman screaming I ran in to find that Jed had him on the kitchen floor and was hitting him Jed was upright and using his boots.
I freaked out and told Jed to stop I grabbed up Roman and told Jed to get out . Me getting hit is one thing but no one touches my children. No one.
Jed began his routine of in and out getting one little thing at a time so he could keep assaulting me as with each entry. When he took a pillow I shut and locked the door and called the cops. He was outside threatening me. Telling me Was going down, that he would take my children. The police came and arrested him he was charged with assault actually 2 counts one on a minor.
He was out of jail and to this day has set out to seek revenge for my telling his secrets telling what a monster he really is.
He hunted us using and with the help of his allies, people he convinced that I was the bad person. People who believed he would never do such things. I was focusing on my children. Their needs, their little emotions and making them feel safe and ok. He lied on the stand, he lied in court, he blames everything on everyone else.
You can get the court file in Flathead county prosecutor Cynthia Forded came from Missoula after I phoned the attorney generals office stating that Flathead was refusing to prosecute this crime because Jed’s affiliation and status with the county. I had no one. No real friends, no one.
I was so afraid after Jed was let out and after his friends and employees began coming around and as they all made false accusations to welfare on his behalf that I took my children to the Abby shelter in Kalispell.
Jed was relentless he took the money and credit cards from our joint accounts. He stole all of the silver, coins, gold, and assets that I and He had put away for Roman and now to be Meaghan’s too. I was not handling anything too well, I just wanted him to leave us alone and yet I was never going to have this.
After 1 ½ years our divorce (which I filed for) was finalized in Libby Mt. in I believe June early July. After Jed committed purjury in both our divorce court and in Flathead criminal court he plead guilty and on the stand made a public declaration of guilt and apology to Roman he refused to do so to me.
I was told that if he was allowed to not go to prison on these 2 counts that for the rest of his life they would show on his record and that if he ever assaulted anyone, child, woman, anyone again he would automatically be made to serve up to 10 years the original deferred sentence.
The judge in Libby made comments so anti mother, and so pro abuser that he actually enabled Jed to continue his vengeance upon me and my children.
Jed and his friends were calling welfare up till the last moment(Robert Olsen attorney in cut bank) will tell you this the lies being told about me were off the wall and attempted to make me out as a murderer, a drug addic, a crazy person, invalid, sexual predator you name it they tried to lie about it. People I had never met nor had they met me or my children.
I have never heard so many lies and witnessed so much criminal and illegal actions as I did in the court room in Libby.
I was openly berated by Judge Prezeau.
He was the biggest enabler of Mr. Jed Fisher’s crimes against us.
So after that last day in court I had planned on moving to Arizona but the wellfare calls gave Judge Michael Prezeau a reason to keep me for 30 days pending yet another investigation which by the way welfare had done for over a year and found nothing bad about any part of my parenting in fact found no grounds for one tiny thing let alone the outrageous accusations Jed and his allies were calling them about.
So when 30 days were up I phoned welfare in Helena and they told me no file was open and that I had no infractions period. I had chosen to change my mind and move to Georgia because I was threatened by Jed and Mary Sevier that they were and had purchased a home in Arizona and would follow us there.
I and my children could no longer bare this abuse and it was my choice to protect my children so I filed an address change with the Libby court and after getting a home lined up researching schools, etc. We moved to Georgia.
Jed was to be notified of my whereabouts per Judge Michael Prezeau order and I did this ASAP. I also let Jed Fisher speak to them children but he did not want to until after I had been there about 6 or 7 months then all of a sudden he began calling asking questions about the area. He called many times a day saying how sorry and wrong he had been. He said and begged that we forgive him that he had changed had found God so to speak.
I was a fool because I was so hoping he would change that we would mean enough to him to change or that our children’s lives and well-being would that I believed him and in doing so was hunted.
He located the department of child services and he and his allies called them sent copied reports they had made of their lies in Kalispell and all it took was me going into welfare on the advise of a church member to sign up for housing aid. Once my name went into the system unknown to me Jed’s final strike was set in motion.
I am at fault for moving to a place where no one knew me. I had no friends and was so much a mom did not set out to win over and influence people. I love being at home and that was all I needed and wanted. I still focus all my energy on my home my baby my family.
Well, I had my son in one of the finest private schools in the nation. A Lutheran school he loved. He was head of the soccer team, a basket ball star, and elected class president his first year.
He had maintained an A average even there and we were finally able to attempt to live free from threat and enjoy life. I had waited till school let out and chose to find a cheaper condo in Peachtree city because my rent was $1500.00 per month and Meaghan would need tuition money soon also being unable to work I had a fixed income.
During this move the old condo was to be vacated and the new one was not yet ready, so I moved myself and my 2 children into a suite with bedrooms and full kitchen area just until the balmoral condo was cleaned and sprayed for bugs(this is a must in Georgia) even the million dollar homes have big roaches and all sorts of bugs.
We were already getting calls from Fayette county welfare and I tried to explain that the lies were just an abusive x trying to continue to hunt and punish me. The dfcs came 3 times at both places and found me to be a great mom and found that my children were extremely well taken care of.
But Jed persisted and in June I believe 31st of 2003 at 7:30 am over 7 big men and a woman came beating on my door threatening for me to open up they were taking my children.
These men were not in police uniform no they wore blue polo’s and tan shorts they had no badges and no warrant.
I had my children in my arms scared to death, I told roman to call the sheriff office and he got another district.
Within moments I was watching my entire door come in on us and hearing my children scream as they witnessed me be struck repeatedly by feet, knees, fists and as these men did this, people came and took my children I told Roman to stay with Meggie no matter what that It would be ok. These people were hitting me like I was a murderer a criminal.
They charged me with obstruction of justice because I did not open the door before they beat it in and took me to a jail.
They tried to give me shots and medicine but I was in shock all I know is that my children are out in the world without me somewhere alone.
I begged for someone to tell me where they were.
I was shoved down the halls and the officers made remarks like "you’re where you belong," Like I did something bad.
Well, in court it did not take long for all of the people Jed Fisher used to pull this off to realize they had made a huge mistake.
The judge had issued a verbal warrant to take my children with force due to calls from Jed and his Friends, family in Montana making unbelievably incredibly false lies, reports, about me to DCFS, there, in Georgia, to Churches they originated from Flathead county departments, Jed Fisher’s departments, employees, family, friends most I had not even seen in over 2 years and some I do not know to this day.
So either they could say oops and in their minds run the risk of being not only sued but in big trouble for illegally beating down my door, beating a innocent mother in front of her children, a disabled mother with MS and a spinal disease and ongoing neurological injury or they could try to find something to justify their actions.
Jed Fisher rolled in and left with my children.
They didn’t care what he was, what crime he had just been found guilty of, they knew by now that I would follow my children in fact they told me to go get them back in Montana.
This was after 6-8 months of Roman and Meggie being traumatized assaulted abused and held for no reason in two separate foster programs in fact they put Roman in a home for bad boy. Jed said he was dangerous to Meggie and Jed is trying it again right now. Motification in custody should occur as soon as possible based on what is in the best interest of Meaghan Suzanna Fisher.
The following circumstances are stable and accurately describe what Meaghan is being denied per the currant custody order which has placed her in the sole care of Mr. Jed Fisher.
First and foremost, I am Meaghan’s natural mother and I not in the past nor ever have I placed my daughter in harms way, inflicted any harm on her, deprived her of anything spiritually nor physically. I am a responsible, well adjusted mother, parent and wife. I have no criminal background and will prove that what Meaghan is being denied has is and will continue to harm her development into the young lady, person and far into her adulthood if in fact action is not taken immediately.
1. As of 2005 I have been a permanent resident of Conrad Mt.
2. I have established and continue to maintain the best home environment for a baby girl born on December 4th 2006, to myself and my soon to be husband Calvin VandenBos, her name is Trinity Danielle VandenBos.
I have and will always care for my step son Devin VandenBos, 13 years of age, and as of Thursday I am now continuing to support and to care for My son Roman Fisher. Whom was again verbally and physically assaulted within the home of his father Mr. Jed Fisher in front of my daughter age 7 Meaghan Suzanna Fisher. (see police report and statements filed in Kalispell by Roman Fisher).
I have a beautiful home which is my and my husbands, We own and operate a very successful business here in Conrad and we are both very involved in all aspects of our children’s education, futures, care, nurturing, health, safety, and within my and my children’s home I provide 24/7 for all their needs.
I do not owe debts above the amount of monthly home maintenance needs and that which I incur on a daily basis to heat, cloth feed, educate, nurture, and care in all ways for Trinity, Roman, and soon Meaghan. I have paid from my social security benefits per month for the past 4 years the full amount designated by the order now in effect.
With this I have also saved on my own money for Roman to go to College at Glacier Bank, Trinity’s future education, and my Daughter Meaghan Sue’s college.
I have been denied all rights to my daughter Meaghan and to my son Roman since they were taken wrongfully from me in Peachtree city Georgia and upon Libby’s judge Mike Prezeau’s order to without cause enforce that order since the beginning of 2005.
I returned to Montana because Georgia gave my children to Mr. Fisher when he presented an Order from Libby stating that Judge Michael Prezeau revoked the original full custody he had given me upon the end of our divorce being final in Libby in 2002.
Georgia had no choice but to relinquish my children due to the law between states such that Judge Prezeau had over-ridden Georgia.
In Georgia I did nothing I was found to even be innocent of obstructing the illegal taking of my children by the DFCS and that was thrown out, but only after Georgia was sure I would follow my children back and fight for them in Montana.
The order and Georgia code states as follows:
Reason for removal of my children by beating me and illegally breaking down my door: Deprivation Which is listed as follows :( mind you this is my words after reading the laws to fight for my children)
1. A child is deprived if he or she is without proper education and or if he or she is being denied an education that is at least equivalent to public school and from a certified home schooling situation.
2. A child is considered deprived if he or she is abandoned, living without any guardian, parent, or relative to care for and to maintain , provide the basic needs food, shelter, health, safety, guidance, and or spiritual teaching
3. A child is abandoned or considered so if they do not receive proper medical care and or not taken to the doctor when injured or sick
4. A child is considered deprived if they do not have a place to live with the basic necessities i.e.: water, toilet, safe from hazards, appliances, food, bed clothing, basic needs I have a 2800 square foot home on 2 lots, I have successfully fed, clothed, and obtained/maintained the best in health care a pediatrician Dr. Jennifer Hall whom will also see Meaghan, Trinity is being cared for in the highest quality of life with not only her basic needs met, but with a standard higher than 99% of all children in America. Meaghan received this care and more while with me. And will be given her own Room which I have hand painted with fairies and Hanna Montana items.
With a brand new bed from penny’s and all brand new items sheets, her own towels, I have supplied her room with shoes, coats, clothes, pajamas, books and every thing she will need. I am looking forward to letting her choose her own kitten and have refused to get a cat until she is with me to be a part of the experience.
5. Meaghan’s home with me is located in a very safe and extremely friendly small town. The High school tennis courts are across the street and 2 blocks away is the grade school she will be attending.
I have spoken to and am setting up a support system within the second grade so that she is able to transition without any trauma. Conrad has a higher quality of education and is rated higher than any of the Flathead Valley’s grade schools.
The class size is ½ that of Hedges and there has never been an instance of violence, drug use, illegal happenings of any kind on the school property or within the school. Unlike Kalispell, Conrad is a safe and tight nit community with an emphases on family, children, the elderly, and overall community health.
Meaghan has a new sister whom is 17 months old, She and Trinity have been denied the ability to love one another to bond to grow up as sisters. This is devastating to both little girls. Meaghan’s father Jed Fisher has informed Meaghan that I had another Baby girl and that I do not want Meggie.
I had full custody when I and my children came to start over in Georgia, my children were/are gone, stolen without a mother only because of the crimes committed by Fayette County Department of Child Family Services, by their illegally not following the codes, by their desire to take these lies and unfounded alligations to Judge Terrance Schell, By This Judge’s abuse of power, by the corruption that once set in motion as he ordered me to be “Taken with Force and my children put into the corrupt system” Georgia Fayette County had the opportunity to not break the laws and codes that are in place to protect my children and me they chose to ignore the laws, to harm my children forever, to destroy my life and their life with a mother who loves them, Georgia and specifically Judge Terrance Schell has committed the most aweful crimes against an inocent mother and her two children.
This man and hie co-conspiritors knew that they made a mistake moments after believing a convicted abuser 300miles away, moments after they beat me arrested me tore my children from one another, When and Why was there not one Honorable member of the system willing to stand up and admit this and then move as forcefully to reunite and right the harm done to me and my children???
Not one agency was/ is brave enough to do thew right thing even now I can not get the transcripts to clear my name to be with my Meggie Sue.
Shame on you Fayette County DFCS more so on you Judge Schell, you have the power to destroy and you did use it recklessly, but you have no Honoring of the Truth, the rights of the innocent, the lives of my children mean nothing to you.
Who will stand up and clear my name this false record of lies??
Who is brave enough?
I never thought that in America such EVIL and ABUSE of power could happen like this. I stand here as a Broken American Mother who ’s fear is not terrorists from over the seas But those Domestic Terror agents that have/ had the power to take what God put on this earth for this Mother, this Great mother to protect.
My Son and His sister’s lives are forever broken and they did nothing they Trusted that I could protect them, rescue them save them.
They are entitled to JUSTICE and WE demand that the Court and if Necessary God Himself make Fayette County DFCS Overthrow the order to illegally take my rights as a mother, to slander me, to Threaten me to sign a guilty form, and Reverse the order so that I can go get my little girl home. No other court will even rule or let me have a hearing because they simply upheld the Fayette County Order.
Judge Michael Prezeau has illegally allowed gossip, false evidence, false testimony, and his own open hatred for myself to not only take but to keep my daughter Meggie Sue from me for 6 years.
Judge Michael Prezeau is connected to Jed Fisher by way of his ex clerk Pival whom is the sister of a man that one of Jed’s main conspiritors paid cash to for under the table referrals to Culligan out of Kalispell.
I can prove this because Bob Pival was paid thousands of dollars by Shelby Nash Hunter and I was also forced by her and Culligan when I worked there to give Pival’s electric 10% of every order he referred to me.
I have first hand evidence that Shelby contacted pival for Jed Fisher during my divorce and the following heartings to get Nadine Pival to not only rule against me, but to not even allow me the right to return to court or move my court to get a fair trial.
We are talking about Crimes that a Judge, his Clerk, and Jed Fisher’s positions within Flathead County have legally kidknapped my daughter and my son , when my son was finally free He found me terrified that what he and his sister were told would come true.
And the worst of those threats did for my children because for 2 years Meggie Sue has been kept from all contact with Roman her only brother.
Judge Michael Preazeu refused to hear my case as he has and continues to do to Roman’s. Libby has no idea what mis-use of power is occurring there. ..."

*ROY P. PILKEY'S LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT*
Barrack Obama
President of the United States of America
Sir,
I write to you with respect, admiration and hope. In this time of our nation’s strife, I do not ask for monetary relief or a bailout.
Sir, I have lost everything that I hold precious in life, I live in Ravalli County, Montana.
There are no civil rights here,
there is no justice here, and
there is no one to appeal to.
I want my human rights, and my freedom back.
I am 67 years old, I was raised in the Navy, and served in the USCG for four years, I served 25 years in the Seattle Fire Department where I retired on 9/11/91.
I have served my country my entire life and I still abide by the oath’s that I swore to defend my Flag, the President, and to serve the American People, as did my Father.
Sir, I moved to Ravalli County, Montana in April of 2002.
After 911 I wanted to try and start over as I felt that my time of usefulness had passed. Fate works in strange ways and my duty as an American was to be tested like never before.
I found myself in the midst of ignorance, racism, hate crimes, nepotism, and corruption, where the weapon of choice for criminals is the American Flag.
I fight for America Sir, and now the rumble has reached the White House. The horses hitched to your wagon have brought you into it.
The truth shall set us free.
I present to you the “unbelievable” daily life of American citizens in the Ravalli Territory, the Holy Grail of injustice in America:
Montana is the third largest state in the lower 48, yet has a population of less than one million residents. It has three electoral votes with one Congressman and two Senators. There are 56 counties distributing the power of the United States Constitution.
The present Governor of Montana states that “Montana is for Montanans”, and openly mocks the government of the United States. I am an American, not a Montanan.
Ravalli County starts at the Idaho border to the South, runs the length of the Bitterroot river, with the Bitterroot Mountains to the West, and the Sapphires to the East.
There is one road, Highway 93, in or out. No news goes out and very little comes in as we have no Newspaper, and one radio station. It is isolated and remote.
The County Government is the cow that feeds it. It offers jobs to those who are willing to buy in. All others are treated as “illegal aliens”.
The County Attorney is an all powerful entity, above the laws of the United States, openly protected by the State and our National Representatives.
Ravalli is a micro climate set up to set the standard for the rest of the state. It can be compared to a “black hole”.
Seventy percent of Ravalli County is Federal land. This is a Third World Country within the State of Montana. No person or entity can, or will claim jurisdiction here. Is this the template for the new America?
Very few people in this state go unaffected or untouched
by these events of violation.
The last Census said there were approx 37,000 residents, of which 29,000 are of voting age. Amazingly all of them are “registered voters”.
The Secretary of State claims to have very little control over voting laws in the county.
They are defined by the County Attorney as to who shall , or shall not vote, and what they may, or may not petition.
The County Sheriff is an elected official and is the head Law Enforcement Officer in the County.
There is no criteria to be the Sheriff.
The current Sheriff received a unanimous vote of “no confidence”, from his department and yet was re-elected. Any group will only be as good as it’s leadership.
There are five elected County Commissioners, all paid.
They have no say over the County Atty (CA) , or Sheriff.
The CA regularly overrules any legislation they try to pass regarding zoning or permitting. They are pretty much powerless, with main emphasis on who shall sit on county boards.
The City of Hamilton is the County seat.
There are less than 4,000 people living within the city. They have 6 city council seats, an all powerful Mayor, a city Judge, and a Justice of the peace, all of whom are elected.
There is no City Treasurer although the citizens passed a petition to have a Treasurer.
The words “and to the Republic”, mouthed by these officials during the “Pledge of Allegiance”, refers to the local newspaper.
The City Attorney, works under contract, also acting as prosecutor.
This attorney worked for almost 6 years without a contract, and never swore an oath of office at any time.
This is a blatant violation of State Law.
His comment about that is,
“ it is ridiculous to think that I should have to swear an oath”.
The State Bar, and the District Court Judge, said it was ok to violate state law and swear the oath 6 years later.
The Court system prides itself on very tough justice with a 90 percent conviction rate of violators of the law.
All judges and city attorneys are former prosecutors for the County.
Hamilton Police Department has a force of fifteen officers.
A normal town has one officer per thousand population. They have the Run of the County as their jurisdiction. They have been out of control for a very long time.
The “tail wags the dog” here. They are almost all of “local flavor”. The Police Chief acts with impunity to any authority including, county, state and federal.
The City of Hamilton is not incorporated.
City limits were never established; no census of the population was ever taken, and there was no election held by those citizens to establish the “City of Hamilton”.
Therefore, what is the legal standard and criteria by which this illegal group administers, executes and prosecutes the laws of the State and Constitution of the United States. How can they issue permits and tax the people?
How can they be allowed to hold elections for a nonexistent entity?
The County Attorney claims he has no authority in issues within the city of Hamilton. People within Hamilton may not vote on county issues by order of the County Atty.
The Sec of State has no record of Hamilton, Montana
therefore no controls regarding voting.
The Fire Department claimed by Hamilton is an all volunteer group of 20 Fire Fighters, none of which are paid. Their services are minimal, and there is no standard or criteria as to qualification or training. They are an entity separate from the city.
They are the First Responders to the NIH Rocky Mountain Lab a level four biolab.
There is no way these men should be expected to cover this facility.
Rocky Mountain Lab gives a grant to the HVFD to buy a 100 foot Aerial Platform, surely the most useless piece of equipment they could have.
There is no one who knows how to drive it, and no where to park it.
There are no buildings over 3 stories in the county or city. The Fire Chief quotes to me, “we need the Aerial Ladder so there are no ground ladders up when the walls collapse”.
There are no paid fire fighters anywhere in the county that I know of. NIH has put science before the safety of American Citizens.
This county would be an excellent place to move Guantanmo. There is no escape, no rights and no one to complain to. However, the rest of the world might regard it as “cruel and unusual punishment”.
In 2001 three women are killed in a Florence, MT beauty salon in broad daylight, The case remains unsolved.
In 2002 a Hamilton officer shoots and kills a man involving a domestic dispute. Six months later a coroners (a former Hamilton City Police Officer, and current Sheriff) inquest finds it justifiable.
In 2002,the State loses it’s viable Power Company which was publicly owned. Jobs, pensions and a public utility all are shuffled and sold. This was considered business as usual here with no investigation by the State or federal government.
In October of 2005, a man has barricaded himself in a gas station convenience store at the edge of town after briefly holding the employees hostage. His white pickup truck, a second male passenger, and a large white bag on the ground are left in a driveway around a corner from where the man has fled. The owner of the home asks the remaining man if he is ok and the man says, “yes, but my buddy is really messed up“.
He walks around the corner and watches with the Police. Quite a while later the home owner watches a third man pick up the bag on the ground, toss it into the truck and drive off. Law enforcement from all over Western Montana have surrounded the station, blocked off the highway, and wait for over 9 hours before attempting to enter.
The Hamilton Police chief is in charge of the scene. They find the man has killed himself in the bathroom. He has a briefcase containing $4000 dollars he had robbed up in Flathead County. The News Media had covered the episode from the earliest minutes and report a sad but successful end to the story. Law enforcement are commended for their good work. There is no mention of the second man or the money.
Two days later, the Ravalli County Sheriff’s dept shows up at a residence at the end of a road about 10 miles out of town and wants to know where the missing $200,000.00 from the robbery is? The residents are dumbfounded to learn that the truck used in the robbery has turned up abandoned on their property. No mention of this has ever been made public that I know of. The witness where the truck originally stopped is advised by a state official to keep her mouth shut.
Within a six month period in 2005, five inmates hang themselves in the Ravalli County Jail. A coroner’s inquest finds everything ok. What could cause such desperation of these men, to take their own lives. Who were they? What had they done?
There was never a trial or question of who and why. Death at the hands of law enforcement is taken for granted as “normal” in Montana. Several jail employee witnesses are terminated.
There are survivors who lost their loved ones, fathers, sons, and friends. There are those that know the truth and must live with it. There are those that must cover up the truth further enlarging the ripple and the quicksand trap it feeds.
The Police chief retires from the City dept to take a job with the NIH Rocky Mountain lab. The lab turns down very qualified people for administrative and security positions keying for what they describe as “local flavor”. They hire the City Administrator, along with the Police Chief. The closest professional help for any emergency is in Missoula, at the least, 90 minutes away.
The same campus in Bethesda, MD has a 30 man fire department covering their lab. The 20 Hamilton Volunteers are neither trained or qualified to address any part of an emergency within this facility and should not be asked to do so. Certified letters sent to Bethesda regarding this situation have disappeared. NIH security is often seen patrolling the streets of the city.
The District Court Judge for Ravalli County is pulled over by Hamilton Police and charged with DUI.
He is ticketed and booked. His story is spread all over the “Ravalli Republic”. He is pulled over again in Missoula and charged with the same thing. He admits to a problem, says he will go through the rehabilitation and is allowed to keep his position.
The Officer doing the initial arrest will be referred to as “not so super“, Notso. The officer often testifies to the Judge, along with the Hamilton City atty who doesn’t think the Oath of office means anything. The Montana Disciplinary Committee, aka Bar Assn, says “no problem”. This man had once been a respected and trusted Judge, now his opening line must be “How may I please the state”?
The local daily newspaper, the Ravalli Republic is owned by Lee Enterprises. It is totally controlled by the County attorney here, and all of it‘s other publications will only print the party line. Falsehoods causing much grief to innocent people are regularly published, yet retractions and other viewpoints are staunchly avoided.
Any innuendo that something is foul in Montana is rewarded with a “fuzzy bunny” story as the County Attorney, and other State Officials reminisce of happy times in their rise to success . Made up “awards” and plaques are given with accolades to Police Officers, and their leaders for their “humanitarian” work. There are few, if any newspapers in Montana which are not owned by Lee. I would liken it to Pravda.
A retired Army Veteran is parked in front of his Physical Therapist office in the middle of downtown Hamilton in the afternoon. He is waiting for his appointment time. He looks up to see a gun pointed at him in the drivers side window. There are three more Hamilton Police officers in position with guns pointed , demanding he get out of the car. He gets out and is braced and searched. He finds out that he is suspected of being a terrorist shooter because he is wearing a leather vest. He is told to watch his step.
In 1949, I recall having a butterscotch sundae with Mr Watling, at NAS Niagara where my father was stationed. He was a Navy jet pilot and he was leaving for Korea. I don’t remember what we talked about except that he had noticed my “cub scout hat”, and that he seemed pleased to be with me.
I can never forget the respect, that my father showed him at our introduction. The newsreels at the movies were never the same when I found out that he wasn’t coming back. I was probably his last memory of America. I learned early the responsibility of my heritage.
A young HPD Officer is appointed by the unincorporated Hamilton City Council to be the new Police Chief in spite of pressure by community leaders to get an outside professional for the position. The force now numbers 15. A normal city will have one officer per 1,000. Hamilton has less than 4,000 residents. On any given night the town lights up like the Aurora Borealis with blue lights flying everywhere.
It appears that the tickets are the towns only income. One rookie officer sets the record with over 100 unsupervised arrests and is applauded for his wonderful work. At the end of his year probation, he swears the ” oath of office”. He regularly holds “show and tell” with other citizens showing the actual videos of his arrests with commentary about the victims. These officers carry real guns with real ammunition, they are brandished regularly.
Sir, with your connections, could you get Supercop, a few days of duty on the streets of Chicago? Better yet, let’s just swap departments for about a week.
A retired decorated LA Police Officer, who was disabled after being run down by a murder suspect lives here. He is a former United States Marine who has served abroad, and willing community volunteer. He joins up with members of the USMC Band who are performing at the County Fair. He attempts to give some of them a ride, when after pulling out of his parking place, he is pulled over by “Supercop”. He is accused of cutting in front of the police car and DUI.
Supercop gives the “Mic on, Mic off”, routine to the flustered veteran, and writes him a serious DUI ticket. The Vet is devastated and seeks counsel outside of Ravalli County. The attorney urges him to plead “per se” and take the consequences, as he says the “police there, will lie”. The Vet does as urged and has the book thrown at him by the Hamilton judge who is a former Marine adjutant proud of the harsh sentencing handed out in Hamilton. He is devastated and embarrassed.
He goes to his health club, and there Supercop and others openly and publicly mock him. The man resigns from the health club and has to see a shrink to get his health and composure back. The Vetcop is pulled over months later for DWIH (Driving While In Hamilton), and the officer immediately goes to the mans license tabs where he finds that the “numbers don’t match”; amazing police work.
This place is a vipers nest where honest, good people are not welcome and openly discriminated against. Like all of us, he is wounded and will never be the same. He has lost his faith in America.
Is this the greeting returning vets shall receive? Is this what we all served for? Is this the legacy for our children?
A Native American man is shot and killed in Darby by the town Marshal. The Marshal has been notorious for ticketing a very famous late night talk show host and for anally tight law in his town, which is referred to as “camera land”. Fines are payable then and there. He responds alone to a domestic dispute and gives a pat story the night of the shooting .
It was portrayed that he had responded to the place and was immediately jumped by the man, whom he knew well. While fighting to keep his gun away from the man, he shot him twice.
This was all over the news that night and the next day. When relatives showed up, they found the girlfriend was under arrest in the hospital, and there was reportedly another witness. The Marshal was wired for tape. Six months later, during a Coroner’s inquest, a new version of the story unfolds where the witnesses could not remember anything , and parts of the tape are blank. The last words you hear are the Marshal stating that he was going to shoot the man, and then he does. The death is found justifiable.
I ski in the winter and often ride the chair with students up for the day. One young man is always dressed in dark blue and never without a ski mask on. I have talked to him several times and learn he is a home school student from Darby. One day he tells me that it is his birthday and that he just got an assault rifle with a stainless steel barrel that wont wear out. He wants a pair of twin tip skis like mine so he can ski backwards and shoot.
“I am very seldom at a loss for words”.
While serving in the USCG, I spent a year of isolated duty on an island in the Aleutians. After a while you lose the perspective that there really is anything outside of where you are. People who have been in combat or taken long sea voyages will give you the same comparison. Hostages tend to accept and sympathize with their captors and go along with it as a survival instinct. You do whatever it takes to fit in. I believe it is called “Stockholm Syndrome”. It is a very necessary trait one should have to live in Montana.
US Senator Baucus is trying to trademark Montana as “The Last Best Place”.
A man and his wife from a nearby town pull into a gas station in Hamilton to get fuel. They had just finished dinner in downtown Hamilton. Supercop swoops in with lights going and accuses the woman driver of “attempting to elude him and DUI”. It seems there is a long history here of harassment by Supercop.
The couple had been pulled over by him several times as their car is distinctive. The husband protests and is handcuffed and thrown in the back of the patrol car. The woman who is on meds, is given the works at the gas pump.
Shoes off, standing on the ground in the cold night air, Mic on, Mic off, she is ordered to blow in the same “breathalyzer 5 times. The husband is going nuts in the back seat where he is imprisoned. Mic on, Mic off. The couple hire a local attorney and pay him up front to go all the way with it. The attorney is pulled over by Supercop and threatened. While the husband is out of town, the attorney advises the woman he will not represent her, he advises her to plead “per se”, and it will all go away. Her health is bad and she does as advised.
The husband is followed anytime he appears in Hamilton from that point on. The husband has always been a good citizen and acted as a mediator during the Watts Riots. He has letters of appreciation for his work within that community. The man hires an out of town attorney and attempts to get justice.
They find there is no record of their case on file in the Police records. The couple have the police video of the incident. He lives 16 miles outside of Hamilton and sees City Police cars up his long private driveway at night.
A 70 year old hunting guide from Alaska, who lives well outside of Hamilton is awakened at 1:30 in the morning by Police banging on his door. A window is broken, and a hand comes around, ready to unlatch the door.
Lights are shining on the man as he attempts to get dressed and let them in. As his second shoe is put on, the door is flung open by four Hamilton cops, with three Sheriffs deputies and they rush the man.
He is knocked to the ground face down, and roughly handcuffed behind his back, injuring the man’s shoulder. The officers go immediately to his back room and bring out a shotgun, which they confiscate. He is accused of violating a restraining order issued by a local JP. As he is put into the patrol car by the HPD, he is told, “see what happens when you break the law”. It seems the man had dated a woman who tried to extort him out of his property and he had refused. He was threatened with trouble because of it.
A restraining order had been issued by a local JP on behalf of the woman , who lived on the road the man had to take to reach town. The man doesn’t get his gun back, and he cannot get a guide’s license any more because of the arrest. There is no criteria to be a JP, only that you take a class to learn how to be a judge. The man has been arrested with injury, without warrant, had property seized and not returned, yet is acquitted months later without so much as “sorry about that“.
A single mother who is going through divorce comes home from one of her two jobs after picking up her daughter from daycare.
She had stopped on the way home to get food from a fast food shop where she went through the drive thru. She and another car had touched bumpers, they got out, no damage, see you later. About an hour after she got home, Supercop appears at her door and accuses her of “hit and run” at the drive in. She has to go out to her car and get her papers. He then asks her “is that alcohol I smell”?
She goes into her house and tries to call her son. Supercop follows her into the house, knocks the phone out of her hand and handcuffs her with the young daughter watching. The phone was not turned off and the entire episode is recorded on the son’s phone. Supercop confiscates some drinking glasses as evidence and hauls her out the door publicly proclaiming that she is going to jail and her daughter is going to Child Protective services. Neighbors intervene, and since the girl has “special needs”, is kept there.
The woman is charged with resisting arrest, hit and run, and DUI. Her arrest is immediately published in the Republic, and immediately shows up as evidence in her pending divorce case. Her ex-policeman husband knows all of the Hamilton cops and Sheriff’s deputies. The Hamilton Judge publicly promises the full extension of his powers over this obviously unfit mother.
Supercop and Notso drive around and past the woman’s house daily, and show up on the Fourth of July after hiding in the bushes trying to catch her shooting off fireworks after 10.
The woman and her daughter have been watching the neighbors celebration. The two Bozo cops are fuming that they cant get her as thousands of fireworks are going off all around them. They storm away to their car parked a block away. The little girl now clings to her mother whenever she sees a uniform or a patrol car. I find myself doing the same thing.
Supercop shows up in civilian clothes at the same fast food drive in and demands to talk to one of the workers there. The manager asks him to come back at another time not during working hours. He quotes to the manager “do you know who I am, I’m a police officer”! Within days, Supercop spots the boy working in his yard, and swoops in saying he thinks the boy is an assault suspect.
He pulls his gun and holds the boy and his 14 year old girlfriend at gunpoint while he rants about who he is. The girl later gives taped testimony to the retired vet cop who is openly gathering info on this nutcase.
A local disabled Viet Nam Veteran who worked as a fishing guide, stops at a Sports Bar with friends to watch a playoff basketball game. The game is not on and he goes to the restroom. He is followed in by two card dealers from the bar one of whom has a beer glass in his hand.. A few seconds later, the vet, bleeding profusely from a head wound, staggers out of the bathroom quoting, “I’ve been blindsided”. His friends grab him, and rush him to the emergency room.
The two card dealers emerge from the bathroom and go out the back door. His friends call 911 reporting the assault, and one of the vets friends goes out in the parking lot to keep an eye on things. According to the witnesses it was quite a while before the Police show up. Finally officer Notso shows up and goes directly to the two card dealers who are waiting out back. He has a discussion with them. Officer Notso comes from that discussion and wants to know where the vet went.
He refers to him by name. In that length of time the Vet is in the emergency room and receives 57 stitches to the side of his face. His spouse and a friend have also arrived to help him. While the officer is there, one of the card dealers shows up and demands attention to his lacerated hand.. He gives two different versions in front of these witnesses as to what had happened to his hand. Officer Notso leaves without interviewing anyone.
The Emergency Room Physician says to the wife and the witness that the injury is consistent with a severe blow to the head and that he had picked out glass fragments consistent with a beer glass. The next day in the Republic, appears an article “Spouse of newly elected County Commissioner involved in Bar fight”. Officer Notso, never investigated the scene of the crime, he never interviewed anyone besides the two card dealers, with whom it was well known he had a long standing relationship. The video tape of the bar clearly shows the sequence of events but is never used. This was clearly a setup. The vet’s civil attorney advises him that since she is retained by the city, she cannot represent him and that he should hire a defense atty.
It all comes into mind. There is overwhelming rage, the panic and embarrassment, then the guilt. The realization that I was part of it. My silence had kept me safe. I was not blind, but I just did not want to see it. I pulled my father’s flag from it’s shelf, and I laid an old fire helmet on it. I was ready once more, to run into a burning building. I was alive again.
I showed up unsolicited at the next City Council Meeting. The place was jammed. The Police Chief was there in uniform, and the Sheriff was there in plain clothes. I signed up first on the public comment sheet. I did not know most of the people there, and had no idea if I was going to be standing alone. Following the “pledge”, to the newspaper, public comment was allowed. I was called and openly read a scathing letter of what I thought about the Police dept and their conduct. Following that, 16 other people gave more examples of horrific things that had happened to them at the hands of the Hamilton Police Department.
The mayor was quite adamant that people hurry up as there was important business to conduct. Several community leaders demanded that a review of the Hamilton Police Department and it’s policies be conducted by an outside source.
The assaulted vet appeared and wanted to know why he hadn’t been interviewed and demanded a public apology from the Police chief who said that he didn’t think that this involved “a public danger“. All of the people there met on the side and agreed to pool our efforts to attain justice.
There was an article appearing within the Ravalli Republic the next day quoting me, and saying that people were upset with the Hamilton Police Department.
The mayor said that it was all isolated cases and that there was a good complaint process that people should follow. Case Closed
The “Night of the Blue Shirts” started up the next night., and lasted about two weeks.
If you were moving in Hamilton, you got picked off.
Tickets, threats, slander, arrests, anything to keep the sheep rounded up. Cops openly proclaim that the assaulted Vet Fishing Guide is a “convicted drug dealer”.
The City’s bogus attorney proclaims there is a fine ongoing investigation , by the fine folks working within Hamilton Police Department, in spite of the slanderous, ludicrous accusations of the rabble.
This investigation is the” best investigation” he has ever seen in all his years as a prosecutor. They were “protecting and serving” all over the place.
In WW2, the Natzi submarine wolfpacks had free run of the sea for a long time. At first they warned a ship before they sank it, giving passengers and crew time to leave the ship. That was inefficient and they stopped doing it. Brooms would be displayed on the masthead when returning. That was referred to as the “happy time”.
A month after the assault, the case is handed up
to the County Attorney as a felony.
The assaulted man gets the police report. The barely readable jibberish on that report indicated that only the card dealers had been interviewed.
Their story was that , “the vet had jumped them in the bathroom and when they defended themselves he fell on the floor injuring his head“. There were no other facts, but contained a list of witnesses, each with a social security number next to their name. Case Closed.
Officer notso is commended for his fine police work and promoted to detective. Six months later the victim finds out that one of the card dealers had admitted to the assault. There has never been any further action that we know of.
It appears the assault was premeditated and conspired by law enforcement right up to the County Attorney. Had not the citizens spoke up when they did, the vet would have been charged in an attempt to discredit his spouse, a newly elected County Commissioner.
Most citizens who turned in complaints
were immediately subjected to further harassment.
The vest wearing vet received two speeding tickets within days of turning in a complaint, and the woman who carried the complaint into the station received a brick through the window of her business, which happens to be just across the street from the police parking lot. The Mayor lays to rest any hope of an investigation of her department.
Supercop has his own bumper sticker appearing on toilets and urinals all over the county. He pulls over a teenager with one on his car, and threatens the boy with arrest and lawsuit. There are very young children in the car. The Police chief when asked , says there was a reprimand to Supercop for his actions.
Citizens meet and try to find out what can be done. First we contact our Congressman Denny Rehberg.
Denny Rehberg is shocked and appalled; Denny Rehberg promises help. He tells us to gather up our information and he will see that justice is done.
Within days, Rehberg changes his tune, saying he has passed our complaints to the right people and that is all he can do. The dust cloud from Rehberg’s retreat still hangs in the air on Hwy 93. I would suggest he read “Congressmen for Dummies”.
I talk to the State AG’s office and they refer me to the Police Academy. There we are told to provide the info on any wrong doing by a graduate of that academy, they can investigate and put them out of business.
Then I am told by the Academy director that he is only interim for a few more weeks. He also advises me to have a talk with the Police Chief who is a long time family friend. He also states that they have to be careful with these cases so as not to upset the Police Union. I find out later that the Academy Director is a former Ravalli County Commissioner and former Sheriff’s Deputy.
Three people call the academy and give their story, he advises them all to talk to the Police chief. None of them intend to do so. I set up a meeting with the Chief, and the Sheriff appears with him. I am told that the Academy Director (AD) had already turned over the names of those complaining.
Then he tells me that the single mother had been arrested again and was sitting in jail. Did I have any more names for him? I don’t think so, I might not be too bright , but I do suspect. In my last conversation with the AD, I am advised to “let bygones be bygones”. The interim director leaves the academy and our calls are no longer accepted by the P.O.S.T.,(Police officer standards, and training).
I receive an unsolicited call on my cell phone, using my nickname, from a man identifying himself as the FBI agent in Missoula. I am driving and pull off the road to talk to this guy who is ranting like an idiot. I finally get him calmed down enough to find out who he is and what he wants. First where did he get my name?
He says he had a note on his desk to call me. He had the idea that I was bringing a bunch of people around who were going to complain about police brutality from Hamilton police and Sheriff’s deputies, who were the finest that he had ever seen, and further that he really liked what they were doing down there.
He stated that he didn’t think there was anything I could produce to change his mind. He was so loud my friend in the car could hear every word he said. I stated that perhaps we should talk and set up a meeting several days later.
This guy was not my idea of an FBI agent. I called his number back to see that, he was legitimate, and cancelled any further contact with him. I then wrote an affidavit to the Regional office of the FBI in Salt Lake City regarding his conduct. I had the letter notarized and witnessed. The notary was told by the County attorney not to do that for me anymore.
A decorated FEMA officer reports that, he lives in the city, and tried to get a severe fire hazard spilling over onto his property cleaned up.
After going through all the channels with recommendations by the Deputy State Fire Marshal that his complaint is legitimate, the Sheriff will not cite the violator, or clean up the hazard. He then finds his offending neighbor on his property lighting fireworks in retaliation for the complaint.
The man throws water at her and runs her off. He is charged with misdemeanor assault by the Sheriff’s dept. He waits 9 months for a hearing and nothing happens. He is deployed to a disaster in Texas and within a week of him being gone he is given a court date.
He has an attorney hired, who appears for him. The Judge hears the prosecution side from a Law Student (named Angela Wetzsteon--spelled purposely wrong by the County Attorneys office for 3 years), and then rules that the man had to be present.. She issues an arrest warrant for the deployed federal officer.
The attorney he had hired was from Missoula, and could not even read the rules on the writ which clearly stated that the man need not be present for a misdemeanor charge. The Officer leaves the disaster assignment and flies home. He is driven down highway 93 from Missoula early in the morning by a friend.
There are Sheriffs, Hamilton police, and MHP cars everywhere. He checks in with the bail office and turns himself into the Jail. The jailer wants to know who brought him in. There was a bet on who would get him.
The report of his arrest appears in the paper the next day. The man contacts the Attorney General’s office where he is told that he will be prosecuted to the fullest in Ravalli county, he will lose his job, and he will be bankrupted.
He contacts the US Attorney in Missoula Josh Van Wedering reporting conspiracy to deny him his Civil rights. He receives a response telling him not to contact that office again.
It all came true, he loses his career federal job, and is not allowed to be a substitute teacher because of his phony arrest. He gets his court date and he is finally acquitted.
The deputy AG who conspired against him
is now the Montana Attorney General.
When trying to submit his information through Senator Baucus he receives a call from the Senator’s chief legal advisor Melody Haynes giving him advice to hire an attorney.
The Law Student who prosecuted the man has been hired by the county with much fanfare. The man is told “if it was anyone but you, it would have been dismissed”, by the award winning deputy county prosecutor.
A woman tells me that her teenage daughter and friends are being pulled over by Hamilton Police officers and told if they don’t date them, they will be ticketed. She doesn’t want it known for fear of repercussions.
Several people went to a meeting involving our two State Senators, Baucus and Testor whose representatives were in town to meet with constituents. We were the only ones there and they gladly took the letters outlining our grievances.
They read what we had to say and said, “This is about Civil Rights, isn’t it”? They agreed to check and get back to us, which Senator Baucus’s legal aide did.
At her direction we put together 140 pages of sworn testimony regarding our cases which were to go to Richard Powers Asst Dir FBI. It was turned in, and within a week I get a call from Melody Haynes, Senator Baucus’s chief legal person; a former prosecuting attorney for the state.
She said that this isn’t something the Senator could do and to just forget about it. We should contact the County Attorney with our complaints. That’s what this is all about Melody! We sent the stuff to Mr Powers anyway.
Within the week we see an article in the Missoulian newspaper that Senator Baucus had just given a large grant of surveillance electronics from the DOJ to Ravalli County Law enforcement.
The clouds parted, the angels sang and we all shouted “halleluiah”! We see the light Sir.
Montana is the third largest state in the lower 48, with less than a million people where your vote means nothing, and nobody gives a damn about your Civil Rights.
It is very easy to keep the sheep corralled. They use the American flag as a Club to keep you in line. The Ravalli County Attorney is the most powerful man in America to whom our State Senators and Congressman all report directly. I find myself on isolated duty. Is there really anything out there? Major Tom to ground control!
I visited the Soviet Union in 1989 just before it collapsed. In Moscow I witnessed control towers on the large boulevards with Police cars and motorcycles pulling over cars. It was a checkpoint, and you paid right there for whatever it was they were pulling you over for, usually it was car color. A woman in our party had been a secretary at the US Embassy during the Khrushchev Regime. She said if you were a woman out at night, you would be raped by the Police if they pulled you over.
In Hamilton it is the same if you are someone different, not part of the club. When I remembered that, I realized the scope of the madness here. The Soviets were never frightened about what you might have seen, they were afraid of what their people would learn from you.
Now when I drive through Hamilton I am immediately tagged by a cop with a computer and followed, My dog who can smell a rat a block away, barks at something she knows is out there in the darkness.
I find a Hamilton Police car in front of my property which is well out of town. I call the police dispatch, and they say there shouldn’t be anyone there. According to the Police chief, “he”, is investigating a “hit and run”.
Did you ever play soccer, Sir? There are three rules: Go to the ball, don’t trap the ball dead, and the first one that moves, loses. It also works well in life.
A man and wife go hiking up a local canyon trail. The husband comes back and says his wife has disappeared. The Sheriff searches high and low, but there is no sign of the woman. The Sheriff says he needs more equipment.
A man drives in the mountains and sees an abandoned car there for over 2 weeks. He sees a fishing rod and reel on the ground and picks it up to give to a local kids fishing derby.
The next day he is invaded by the Sheriff’s department who search his home and charge him with theft. It seems the junk car was a sting operation with bugged articles.
They want to know why he didn’t take the rest of the stuff?
The man is a very wealthy Texan, and the Sheriff’s dept finds itself with a tight hold of a “very angry tiger by the tail”. The Sheriff openly pleads with the man to let them out of it.
That DOJ surveillance stuff really works good. I believe this is the only case the Sheriff ‘s office has solved in the 7 years I have lived here.
An amateur photographer sees an accident scene on highway 93 and stops to get pictures. An injured man is extricated and taken to the hospital. He notices the Hamilton Police chief and Supercop quite far back in the crowd.
The man asks where the other car is? No one knows. He overhears the driver saying the guy got out of a concrete company pickup and asked if we were ok, then he drove away. He knew the people, and gave them copies of his photos. The victims did not get the police report written by Supercop for over a week.
It turns out, the driver of the other car is a Hamilton City Councilman. No charges are filed. The Montana Highway Patrol has no answer for why they were not notified and in charge of the accident since it was on a State Highway, but they don’t intend to follow up. Supercop gets an award as “report writer of the year” and is later promoted.
A boy riding his bicycle with friends crashes and has a severe head injury. The boys see a Hamilton police car approaching and try to wave him down. The officer in the car waves at them and laughs as he drives by.
The mother takes her son to the Hospital where they sew his ear back on.
The former FEMA officer takes a test to try and get on the Montana Highway Patrol as he has lost his job. At the end of the test he is told he has failed to make the grade. He asks to see his test score, and they refuse. He loses four different jobs after being stopped on the street by HPD asking where he works.
The Mother harassed by super cop is acquitted by the judge who publicly vowed to get her, with apologies that “we were all wrong about you”. She is granted her divorce. She cant get her wrongful arrest jail time back and her daughter is scarred for life.
Hamilton receives close to 3 million dollars in grants to fix Public Works.
The mayor meets separately in closed meeting with the city atty and several councilmen and they decide to earmark the money for a development 5 miles out of town that they can annex.
City atty says go and it’s a done deal.
Money goes poof, and the bogus City goes on with their land grab. The construction is to be done by an Arizona developer. I wonder where he is going to buy his concrete. Citizens call foul and report the misappropriation to the federal govt.
The former FEMA agent who lost his job, points out in a letter in the Bitterroot Star Weekly newspaper that the Flat Iron development would be quite illegal as it is not contingent to the imaginary city limits of the imaginary city of Hamilton.
The Mayor suddenly resigns.
A longtime Councilman jumps in as mayor, appoints a relative to his seat and we have business as usual. The word annex has not been mentioned since. Neither has the grant money.
President Obama, I ask you, man to man, father to father, this question. Is this your America?
I ask you to picture, yourself and your family in the same scenario as any one of these people. What would be your response to being ignored by our Justice System.
What would you say to Baucus, Testor and Rehberg? What would you say to Supercop? What do you say to me?
Can the Secretary of State initiate talks with the County Attorney in regards to the possibility of a United States Embassy within the Territory?
A neatly wrapped box containing the Entire Corrupted Justice System of the State of Montana, waits to be unwrapped. The American People watch and wait for their hopes and dreams to be fulfilled.
As we speak, the Hamilton Police Chief is attending the FBI Academy. Is he there to learn or instruct?
The courts carry out their appointed duties feeding the bloodlust of the County. Senator Baucus searches for a new US Attorney.
The MHP commander retires. The governor attends tea at the White House. Richard Powers is replaced in Washington as Deputy Director of the FBI.
I bought a Motor home and left the state.
I have the same feeling now as when I got back from the Aleutians. I search for America. I revisit “Travels with Charlie, feeling akin to Steinbeck and the burden of knowledge that he carried. My beautiful Samantha barks in the night, but it is only a bear. I lay awake at night knowing that the fire is not out.
I give this to you and America for Judgment.
President Obama, can you ask your recently 'featured, local, Montana hero', deputy chief of staff in your White House “who is George H. Corn”?
I am respectfully at your service. Perhaps we can go fishing some day.

"received at the White House Mail Office on April 24,2009*ROY P. PILKEY'S LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT*
Barrack Obama
President of the United States of America
Sir,
I write to you with respect, admiration and hope. In this time of our nation’s strife, I do not ask for monetary relief or a bailout.
Sir, I have lost everything that I hold precious in life, I live in Ravalli County, Montana.
There are no civil rights here,
there is no justice here, and
there is no one to appeal to.
I want my human rights, and my freedom back.
I am 67 years old, I was raised in the Navy, and served in the USCG for four years, I served 25 years in the Seattle Fire Department where I retired on 9/11/91.
I have served my country my entire life and I still abide by the oath’s that I swore to defend my Flag, the President, and to serve the American People, as did my Father.
Sir, I moved to Ravalli County, Montana in April of 2002.
After 911 I wanted to try and start over as I felt that my time of usefulness had passed. Fate works in strange ways and my duty as an American was to be tested like never before.
I found myself in the midst of ignorance, racism, hate crimes, nepotism, and corruption, where the weapon of choice for criminals is the American Flag.
I fight for America Sir, and now the rumble has reached the White House. The horses hitched to your wagon have brought you into it.
The truth shall set us free.
I present to you the “unbelievable” daily life of American citizens in the Ravalli Territory, the Holy Grail of injustice in America:
Montana is the third largest state in the lower 48, yet has a population of less than one million residents. It has three electoral votes with one Congressman and two Senators. There are 56 counties distributing the power of the United States Constitution.
The present Governor of Montana states that “Montana is for Montanans”, and openly mocks the government of the United States. I am an American, not a Montanan.
Ravalli County starts at the Idaho border to the South, runs the length of the Bitterroot river, with the Bitterroot Mountains to the West, and the Sapphires to the East.
There is one road, Highway 93, in or out. No news goes out and very little comes in as we have no Newspaper, and one radio station. It is isolated and remote.
The County Government is the cow that feeds it. It offers jobs to those who are willing to buy in. All others are treated as “illegal aliens”.
The County Attorney is an all powerful entity, above the laws of the United States, openly protected by the State and our National Representatives.
Ravalli is a micro climate set up to set the standard for the rest of the state. It can be compared to a “black hole”.
Seventy percent of Ravalli County is Federal land. This is a Third World Country within the State of Montana. No person or entity can, or will claim jurisdiction here. Is this the template for the new America?
Very few people in this state go unaffected or untouched
by these events of violation.
The last Census said there were approx 37,000 residents, of which 29,000 are of voting age. Amazingly all of them are “registered voters”.
The Secretary of State claims to have very little control over voting laws in the county.
They are defined by the County Attorney as to who shall , or shall not vote, and what they may, or may not petition.
The County Sheriff is an elected official and is the head Law Enforcement Officer in the County.
There is no criteria to be the Sheriff.
The current Sheriff received a unanimous vote of “no confidence”, from his department and yet was re-elected. Any group will only be as good as it’s leadership.
There are five elected County Commissioners, all paid.
They have no say over the County Atty (CA) , or Sheriff.
The CA regularly overrules any legislation they try to pass regarding zoning or permitting. They are pretty much powerless, with main emphasis on who shall sit on county boards.
The City of Hamilton is the County seat.
There are less than 4,000 people living within the city. They have 6 city council seats, an all powerful Mayor, a city Judge, and a Justice of the peace, all of whom are elected.
There is no City Treasurer although the citizens passed a petition to have a Treasurer.
The words “and to the Republic”, mouthed by these officials during the “Pledge of Allegiance”, refers to the local newspaper.
The City Attorney, works under contract, also acting as prosecutor.
This attorney worked for almost 6 years without a contract, and never swore an oath of office at any time.
This is a blatant violation of State Law.
His comment about that is,
“ it is ridiculous to think that I should have to swear an oath”.
The State Bar, and the District Court Judge, said it was ok to violate state law and swear the oath 6 years later.
The Court system prides itself on very tough justice with a 90 percent conviction rate of violators of the law.
All judges and city attorneys are former prosecutors for the County.
Hamilton Police Department has a force of fifteen officers.
A normal town has one officer per thousand population. They have the Run of the County as their jurisdiction. They have been out of control for a very long time.
The “tail wags the dog” here. They are almost all of “local flavor”. The Police Chief acts with impunity to any authority including, county, state and federal.
The City of Hamilton is not incorporated.
City limits were never established; no census of the population was ever taken, and there was no election held by those citizens to establish the “City of Hamilton”.
Therefore, what is the legal standard and criteria by which this illegal group administers, executes and prosecutes the laws of the State and Constitution of the United States. How can they issue permits and tax the people?
How can they be allowed to hold elections for a nonexistent entity?
The County Attorney claims he has no authority in issues within the city of Hamilton. People within Hamilton may not vote on county issues by order of the County Atty.
The Sec of State has no record of Hamilton, Montana
therefore no controls regarding voting.
The Fire Department claimed by Hamilton is an all volunteer group of 20 Fire Fighters, none of which are paid. Their services are minimal, and there is no standard or criteria as to qualification or training. They are an entity separate from the city.
They are the First Responders to the NIH Rocky Mountain Lab a level four biolab.
There is no way these men should be expected to cover this facility.
Rocky Mountain Lab gives a grant to the HVFD to buy a 100 foot Aerial Platform, surely the most useless piece of equipment they could have.
There is no one who knows how to drive it, and no where to park it.
There are no buildings over 3 stories in the county or city. The Fire Chief quotes to me, “we need the Aerial Ladder so there are no ground ladders up when the walls collapse”.
There are no paid fire fighters anywhere in the county that I know of. NIH has put science before the safety of American Citizens.
This county would be an excellent place to move Guantanmo. There is no escape, no rights and no one to complain to. However, the rest of the world might regard it as “cruel and unusual punishment”.
In 2001 three women are killed in a Florence, MT beauty salon in broad daylight, The case remains unsolved.
In 2002 a Hamilton officer shoots and kills a man involving a domestic dispute. Six months later a coroners (a former Hamilton City Police Officer, and current Sheriff) inquest finds it justifiable.
In 2002,the State loses it’s viable Power Company which was publicly owned. Jobs, pensions and a public utility all are shuffled and sold. This was considered business as usual here with no investigation by the State or federal government.
In October of 2005, a man has barricaded himself in a gas station convenience store at the edge of town after briefly holding the employees hostage. His white pickup truck, a second male passenger, and a large white bag on the ground are left in a driveway around a corner from where the man has fled. The owner of the home asks the remaining man if he is ok and the man says, “yes, but my buddy is really messed up“.
He walks around the corner and watches with the Police. Quite a while later the home owner watches a third man pick up the bag on the ground, toss it into the truck and drive off. Law enforcement from all over Western Montana have surrounded the station, blocked off the highway, and wait for over 9 hours before attempting to enter.
The Hamilton Police chief is in charge of the scene. They find the man has killed himself in the bathroom. He has a briefcase containing $4000 dollars he had robbed up in Flathead County. The News Media had covered the episode from the earliest minutes and report a sad but successful end to the story. Law enforcement are commended for their good work. There is no mention of the second man or the money.
Two days later, the Ravalli County Sheriff’s dept shows up at a residence at the end of a road about 10 miles out of town and wants to know where the missing $200,000.00 from the robbery is? The residents are dumbfounded to learn that the truck used in the robbery has turned up abandoned on their property. No mention of this has ever been made public that I know of. The witness where the truck originally stopped is advised by a state official to keep her mouth shut.
Within a six month period in 2005, five inmates hang themselves in the Ravalli County Jail. A coroner’s inquest finds everything ok. What could cause such desperation of these men, to take their own lives. Who were they? What had they done?
There was never a trial or question of who and why. Death at the hands of law enforcement is taken for granted as “normal” in Montana. Several jail employee witnesses are terminated.
There are survivors who lost their loved ones, fathers, sons, and friends. There are those that know the truth and must live with it. There are those that must cover up the truth further enlarging the ripple and the quicksand trap it feeds.
The Police chief retires from the City dept to take a job with the NIH Rocky Mountain lab. The lab turns down very qualified people for administrative and security positions keying for what they describe as “local flavor”. They hire the City Administrator, along with the Police Chief. The closest professional help for any emergency is in Missoula, at the least, 90 minutes away.
The same campus in Bethesda, MD has a 30 man fire department covering their lab. The 20 Hamilton Volunteers are neither trained or qualified to address any part of an emergency within this facility and should not be asked to do so. Certified letters sent to Bethesda regarding this situation have disappeared. NIH security is often seen patrolling the streets of the city.
The District Court Judge for Ravalli County is pulled over by Hamilton Police and charged with DUI.
He is ticketed and booked. His story is spread all over the “Ravalli Republic”. He is pulled over again in Missoula and charged with the same thing. He admits to a problem, says he will go through the rehabilitation and is allowed to keep his position.
The Officer doing the initial arrest will be referred to as “not so super“, Notso. The officer often testifies to the Judge, along with the Hamilton City atty who doesn’t think the Oath of office means anything. The Montana Disciplinary Committee, aka Bar Assn, says “no problem”. This man had once been a respected and trusted Judge, now his opening line must be “How may I please the state”?
The local daily newspaper, the Ravalli Republic is owned by Lee Enterprises. It is totally controlled by the County attorney here, and all of it‘s other publications will only print the party line. Falsehoods causing much grief to innocent people are regularly published, yet retractions and other viewpoints are staunchly avoided.
Any innuendo that something is foul in Montana is rewarded with a “fuzzy bunny” story as the County Attorney, and other State Officials reminisce of happy times in their rise to success . Made up “awards” and plaques are given with accolades to Police Officers, and their leaders for their “humanitarian” work. There are few, if any newspapers in Montana which are not owned by Lee. I would liken it to Pravda.
A retired Army Veteran is parked in front of his Physical Therapist office in the middle of downtown Hamilton in the afternoon. He is waiting for his appointment time. He looks up to see a gun pointed at him in the drivers side window. There are three more Hamilton Police officers in position with guns pointed , demanding he get out of the car. He gets out and is braced and searched. He finds out that he is suspected of being a terrorist shooter because he is wearing a leather vest. He is told to watch his step.
In 1949, I recall having a butterscotch sundae with Mr Watling, at NAS Niagara where my father was stationed. He was a Navy jet pilot and he was leaving for Korea. I don’t remember what we talked about except that he had noticed my “cub scout hat”, and that he seemed pleased to be with me.
I can never forget the respect, that my father showed him at our introduction. The newsreels at the movies were never the same when I found out that he wasn’t coming back. I was probably his last memory of America. I learned early the responsibility of my heritage.
A young HPD Officer is appointed by the unincorporated Hamilton City Council to be the new Police Chief in spite of pressure by community leaders to get an outside professional for the position. The force now numbers 15. A normal city will have one officer per 1,000. Hamilton has less than 4,000 residents. On any given night the town lights up like the Aurora Borealis with blue lights flying everywhere.
It appears that the tickets are the towns only income. One rookie officer sets the record with over 100 unsupervised arrests and is applauded for his wonderful work. At the end of his year probation, he swears the ” oath of office”. He regularly holds “show and tell” with other citizens showing the actual videos of his arrests with commentary about the victims. These officers carry real guns with real ammunition, they are brandished regularly.
Sir, with your connections, could you get Supercop, a few days of duty on the streets of Chicago? Better yet, let’s just swap departments for about a week.
A retired decorated LA Police Officer, who was disabled after being run down by a murder suspect lives here. He is a former United States Marine who has served abroad, and willing community volunteer. He joins up with members of the USMC Band who are performing at the County Fair. He attempts to give some of them a ride, when after pulling out of his parking place, he is pulled over by “Supercop”. He is accused of cutting in front of the police car and DUI.
Supercop gives the “Mic on, Mic off”, routine to the flustered veteran, and writes him a serious DUI ticket. The Vet is devastated and seeks counsel outside of Ravalli County. The attorney urges him to plead “per se” and take the consequences, as he says the “police there, will lie”. The Vet does as urged and has the book thrown at him by the Hamilton judge who is a former Marine adjutant proud of the harsh sentencing handed out in Hamilton. He is devastated and embarrassed.
He goes to his health club, and there Supercop and others openly and publicly mock him. The man resigns from the health club and has to see a shrink to get his health and composure back. The Vetcop is pulled over months later for DWIH (Driving While In Hamilton), and the officer immediately goes to the mans license tabs where he finds that the “numbers don’t match”; amazing police work.
This place is a vipers nest where honest, good people are not welcome and openly discriminated against. Like all of us, he is wounded and will never be the same. He has lost his faith in America.
Is this the greeting returning vets shall receive? Is this what we all served for? Is this the legacy for our children?
A Native American man is shot and killed in Darby by the town Marshal. The Marshal has been notorious for ticketing a very famous late night talk show host and for anally tight law in his town, which is referred to as “camera land”. Fines are payable then and there. He responds alone to a domestic dispute and gives a pat story the night of the shooting .
It was portrayed that he had responded to the place and was immediately jumped by the man, whom he knew well. While fighting to keep his gun away from the man, he shot him twice.
This was all over the news that night and the next day. When relatives showed up, they found the girlfriend was under arrest in the hospital, and there was reportedly another witness. The Marshal was wired for tape. Six months later, during a Coroner’s inquest, a new version of the story unfolds where the witnesses could not remember anything , and parts of the tape are blank. The last words you hear are the Marshal stating that he was going to shoot the man, and then he does. The death is found justifiable.
I ski in the winter and often ride the chair with students up for the day. One young man is always dressed in dark blue and never without a ski mask on. I have talked to him several times and learn he is a home school student from Darby. One day he tells me that it is his birthday and that he just got an assault rifle with a stainless steel barrel that wont wear out. He wants a pair of twin tip skis like mine so he can ski backwards and shoot.
“I am very seldom at a loss for words”.
While serving in the USCG, I spent a year of isolated duty on an island in the Aleutians. After a while you lose the perspective that there really is anything outside of where you are. People who have been in combat or taken long sea voyages will give you the same comparison. Hostages tend to accept and sympathize with their captors and go along with it as a survival instinct. You do whatever it takes to fit in. I believe it is called “Stockholm Syndrome”. It is a very necessary trait one should have to live in Montana.
US Senator Baucus is trying to trademark Montana as “The Last Best Place”.
A man and his wife from a nearby town pull into a gas station in Hamilton to get fuel. They had just finished dinner in downtown Hamilton. Supercop swoops in with lights going and accuses the woman driver of “attempting to elude him and DUI”. It seems there is a long history here of harassment by Supercop.
The couple had been pulled over by him several times as their car is distinctive. The husband protests and is handcuffed and thrown in the back of the patrol car. The woman who is on meds, is given the works at the gas pump.
Shoes off, standing on the ground in the cold night air, Mic on, Mic off, she is ordered to blow in the same “breathalyzer 5 times. The husband is going nuts in the back seat where he is imprisoned. Mic on, Mic off. The couple hire a local attorney and pay him up front to go all the way with it. The attorney is pulled over by Supercop and threatened. While the husband is out of town, the attorney advises the woman he will not represent her, he advises her to plead “per se”, and it will all go away. Her health is bad and she does as advised.
The husband is followed anytime he appears in Hamilton from that point on. The husband has always been a good citizen and acted as a mediator during the Watts Riots. He has letters of appreciation for his work within that community. The man hires an out of town attorney and attempts to get justice.
They find there is no record of their case on file in the Police records. The couple have the police video of the incident. He lives 16 miles outside of Hamilton and sees City Police cars up his long private driveway at night.
A 70 year old hunting guide from Alaska, who lives well outside of Hamilton is awakened at 1:30 in the morning by Police banging on his door. A window is broken, and a hand comes around, ready to unlatch the door.
Lights are shining on the man as he attempts to get dressed and let them in. As his second shoe is put on, the door is flung open by four Hamilton cops, with three Sheriffs deputies and they rush the man.
He is knocked to the ground face down, and roughly handcuffed behind his back, injuring the man’s shoulder. The officers go immediately to his back room and bring out a shotgun, which they confiscate. He is accused of violating a restraining order issued by a local JP. As he is put into the patrol car by the HPD, he is told, “see what happens when you break the law”. It seems the man had dated a woman who tried to extort him out of his property and he had refused. He was threatened with trouble because of it.
A restraining order had been issued by a local JP on behalf of the woman , who lived on the road the man had to take to reach town. The man doesn’t get his gun back, and he cannot get a guide’s license any more because of the arrest. There is no criteria to be a JP, only that you take a class to learn how to be a judge. The man has been arrested with injury, without warrant, had property seized and not returned, yet is acquitted months later without so much as “sorry about that“.
A single mother who is going through divorce comes home from one of her two jobs after picking up her daughter from daycare.
She had stopped on the way home to get food from a fast food shop where she went through the drive thru. She and another car had touched bumpers, they got out, no damage, see you later. About an hour after she got home, Supercop appears at her door and accuses her of “hit and run” at the drive in. She has to go out to her car and get her papers. He then asks her “is that alcohol I smell”?
She goes into her house and tries to call her son. Supercop follows her into the house, knocks the phone out of her hand and handcuffs her with the young daughter watching. The phone was not turned off and the entire episode is recorded on the son’s phone. Supercop confiscates some drinking glasses as evidence and hauls her out the door publicly proclaiming that she is going to jail and her daughter is going to Child Protective services. Neighbors intervene, and since the girl has “special needs”, is kept there.
The woman is charged with resisting arrest, hit and run, and DUI. Her arrest is immediately published in the Republic, and immediately shows up as evidence in her pending divorce case. Her ex-policeman husband knows all of the Hamilton cops and Sheriff’s deputies. The Hamilton Judge publicly promises the full extension of his powers over this obviously unfit mother.
Supercop and Notso drive around and past the woman’s house daily, and show up on the Fourth of July after hiding in the bushes trying to catch her shooting off fireworks after 10.
The woman and her daughter have been watching the neighbors celebration. The two Bozo cops are fuming that they cant get her as thousands of fireworks are going off all around them. They storm away to their car parked a block away. The little girl now clings to her mother whenever she sees a uniform or a patrol car. I find myself doing the same thing.
Supercop shows up in civilian clothes at the same fast food drive in and demands to talk to one of the workers there. The manager asks him to come back at another time not during working hours. He quotes to the manager “do you know who I am, I’m a police officer”! Within days, Supercop spots the boy working in his yard, and swoops in saying he thinks the boy is an assault suspect.
He pulls his gun and holds the boy and his 14 year old girlfriend at gunpoint while he rants about who he is. The girl later gives taped testimony to the retired vet cop who is openly gathering info on this nutcase.
A local disabled Viet Nam Veteran who worked as a fishing guide, stops at a Sports Bar with friends to watch a playoff basketball game. The game is not on and he goes to the restroom. He is followed in by two card dealers from the bar one of whom has a beer glass in his hand.. A few seconds later, the vet, bleeding profusely from a head wound, staggers out of the bathroom quoting, “I’ve been blindsided”. His friends grab him, and rush him to the emergency room.
The two card dealers emerge from the bathroom and go out the back door. His friends call 911 reporting the assault, and one of the vets friends goes out in the parking lot to keep an eye on things. According to the witnesses it was quite a while before the Police show up. Finally officer Notso shows up and goes directly to the two card dealers who are waiting out back. He has a discussion with them. Officer Notso comes from that discussion and wants to know where the vet went.
He refers to him by name. In that length of time the Vet is in the emergency room and receives 57 stitches to the side of his face. His spouse and a friend have also arrived to help him. While the officer is there, one of the card dealers shows up and demands attention to his lacerated hand.. He gives two different versions in front of these witnesses as to what had happened to his hand. Officer Notso leaves without interviewing anyone.
The Emergency Room Physician says to the wife and the witness that the injury is consistent with a severe blow to the head and that he had picked out glass fragments consistent with a beer glass. The next day in the Republic, appears an article “Spouse of newly elected County Commissioner involved in Bar fight”. Officer Notso, never investigated the scene of the crime, he never interviewed anyone besides the two card dealers, with whom it was well known he had a long standing relationship. The video tape of the bar clearly shows the sequence of events but is never used. This was clearly a setup. The vet’s civil attorney advises him that since she is retained by the city, she cannot represent him and that he should hire a defense atty.
It all comes into mind. There is overwhelming rage, the panic and embarrassment, then the guilt. The realization that I was part of it. My silence had kept me safe. I was not blind, but I just did not want to see it. I pulled my father’s flag from it’s shelf, and I laid an old fire helmet on it. I was ready once more, to run into a burning building. I was alive again.
I showed up unsolicited at the next City Council Meeting. The place was jammed. The Police Chief was there in uniform, and the Sheriff was there in plain clothes. I signed up first on the public comment sheet. I did not know most of the people there, and had no idea if I was going to be standing alone. Following the “pledge”, to the newspaper, public comment was allowed. I was called and openly read a scathing letter of what I thought about the Police dept and their conduct. Following that, 16 other people gave more examples of horrific things that had happened to them at the hands of the Hamilton Police Department.
The mayor was quite adamant that people hurry up as there was important business to conduct. Several community leaders demanded that a review of the Hamilton Police Department and it’s policies be conducted by an outside source.
The assaulted vet appeared and wanted to know why he hadn’t been interviewed and demanded a public apology from the Police chief who said that he didn’t think that this involved “a public danger“. All of the people there met on the side and agreed to pool our efforts to attain justice.
There was an article appearing within the Ravalli Republic the next day quoting me, and saying that people were upset with the Hamilton Police Department.
The mayor said that it was all isolated cases and that there was a good complaint process that people should follow. Case Closed
The “Night of the Blue Shirts” started up the next night., and lasted about two weeks.
If you were moving in Hamilton, you got picked off.
Tickets, threats, slander, arrests, anything to keep the sheep rounded up. Cops openly proclaim that the assaulted Vet Fishing Guide is a “convicted drug dealer”.
The City’s bogus attorney proclaims there is a fine ongoing investigation , by the fine folks working within Hamilton Police Department, in spite of the slanderous, ludicrous accusations of the rabble.
This investigation is the” best investigation” he has ever seen in all his years as a prosecutor. They were “protecting and serving” all over the place.
In WW2, the Natzi submarine wolfpacks had free run of the sea for a long time. At first they warned a ship before they sank it, giving passengers and crew time to leave the ship. That was inefficient and they stopped doing it. Brooms would be displayed on the masthead when returning. That was referred to as the “happy time”.
A month after the assault, the case is handed up
to the County Attorney as a felony.
The assaulted man gets the police report. The barely readable jibberish on that report indicated that only the card dealers had been interviewed.
Their story was that , “the vet had jumped them in the bathroom and when they defended themselves he fell on the floor injuring his head“. There were no other facts, but contained a list of witnesses, each with a social security number next to their name. Case Closed.
Officer notso is commended for his fine police work and promoted to detective. Six months later the victim finds out that one of the card dealers had admitted to the assault. There has never been any further action that we know of.
It appears the assault was premeditated and conspired by law enforcement right up to the County Attorney. Had not the citizens spoke up when they did, the vet would have been charged in an attempt to discredit his spouse, a newly elected County Commissioner.
Most citizens who turned in complaints
were immediately subjected to further harassment.
The vest wearing vet received two speeding tickets within days of turning in a complaint, and the woman who carried the complaint into the station received a brick through the window of her business, which happens to be just across the street from the police parking lot. The Mayor lays to rest any hope of an investigation of her department.
Supercop has his own bumper sticker appearing on toilets and urinals all over the county. He pulls over a teenager with one on his car, and threatens the boy with arrest and lawsuit. There are very young children in the car. The Police chief when asked , says there was a reprimand to Supercop for his actions.
Citizens meet and try to find out what can be done. First we contact our Congressman Denny Rehberg.
Denny Rehberg is shocked and appalled; Denny Rehberg promises help. He tells us to gather up our information and he will see that justice is done.
Within days, Rehberg changes his tune, saying he has passed our complaints to the right people and that is all he can do. The dust cloud from Rehberg’s retreat still hangs in the air on Hwy 93. I would suggest he read “Congressmen for Dummies”.
I talk to the State AG’s office and they refer me to the Police Academy. There we are told to provide the info on any wrong doing by a graduate of that academy, they can investigate and put them out of business.
Then I am told by the Academy director that he is only interim for a few more weeks. He also advises me to have a talk with the Police Chief who is a long time family friend. He also states that they have to be careful with these cases so as not to upset the Police Union. I find out later that the Academy Director is a former Ravalli County Commissioner and former Sheriff’s Deputy.
Three people call the academy and give their story, he advises them all to talk to the Police chief. None of them intend to do so. I set up a meeting with the Chief, and the Sheriff appears with him. I am told that the Academy Director (AD) had already turned over the names of those complaining.
Then he tells me that the single mother had been arrested again and was sitting in jail. Did I have any more names for him? I don’t think so, I might not be too bright , but I do suspect. In my last conversation with the AD, I am advised to “let bygones be bygones”. The interim director leaves the academy and our calls are no longer accepted by the P.O.S.T.,(Police officer standards, and training).
I receive an unsolicited call on my cell phone, using my nickname, from a man identifying himself as the FBI agent in Missoula. I am driving and pull off the road to talk to this guy who is ranting like an idiot. I finally get him calmed down enough to find out who he is and what he wants. First where did he get my name?
He says he had a note on his desk to call me. He had the idea that I was bringing a bunch of people around who were going to complain about police brutality from Hamilton police and Sheriff’s deputies, who were the finest that he had ever seen, and further that he really liked what they were doing down there.
He stated that he didn’t think there was anything I could produce to change his mind. He was so loud my friend in the car could hear every word he said. I stated that perhaps we should talk and set up a meeting several days later.
This guy was not my idea of an FBI agent. I called his number back to see that, he was legitimate, and cancelled any further contact with him. I then wrote an affidavit to the Regional office of the FBI in Salt Lake City regarding his conduct. I had the letter notarized and witnessed. The notary was told by the County attorney not to do that for me anymore.
A decorated FEMA officer reports that, he lives in the city, and tried to get a severe fire hazard spilling over onto his property cleaned up.
After going through all the channels with recommendations by the Deputy State Fire Marshal that his complaint is legitimate, the Sheriff will not cite the violator, or clean up the hazard. He then finds his offending neighbor on his property lighting fireworks in retaliation for the complaint.
The man throws water at her and runs her off. He is charged with misdemeanor assault by the Sheriff’s dept. He waits 9 months for a hearing and nothing happens. He is deployed to a disaster in Texas and within a week of him being gone he is given a court date.
He has an attorney hired, who appears for him. The Judge hears the prosecution side from a Law Student (named Angela Wetzsteon--spelled purposely wrong by the County Attorneys office for 3 years), and then rules that the man had to be present.. She issues an arrest warrant for the deployed federal officer.
The attorney he had hired was from Missoula, and could not even read the rules on the writ which clearly stated that the man need not be present for a misdemeanor charge. The Officer leaves the disaster assignment and flies home. He is driven down highway 93 from Missoula early in the morning by a friend.
There are Sheriffs, Hamilton police, and MHP cars everywhere. He checks in with the bail office and turns himself into the Jail. The jailer wants to know who brought him in. There was a bet on who would get him.
The report of his arrest appears in the paper the next day. The man contacts the Attorney General’s office where he is told that he will be prosecuted to the fullest in Ravalli county, he will lose his job, and he will be bankrupted.
He contacts the US Attorney in Missoula Josh Van Wedering reporting conspiracy to deny him his Civil rights. He receives a response telling him not to contact that office again.
It all came true, he loses his career federal job, and is not allowed to be a substitute teacher because of his phony arrest. He gets his court date and he is finally acquitted.
The deputy AG who conspired against him
is now the Montana Attorney General.
When trying to submit his information through Senator Baucus he receives a call from the Senator’s chief legal advisor Melody Haynes giving him advice to hire an attorney.
The Law Student who prosecuted the man has been hired by the county with much fanfare. The man is told “if it was anyone but you, it would have been dismissed”, by the award winning deputy county prosecutor.
A woman tells me that her teenage daughter and friends are being pulled over by Hamilton Police officers and told if they don’t date them, they will be ticketed. She doesn’t want it known for fear of repercussions.
Several people went to a meeting involving our two State Senators, Baucus and Testor whose representatives were in town to meet with constituents. We were the only ones there and they gladly took the letters outlining our grievances.
They read what we had to say and said, “This is about Civil Rights, isn’t it”? They agreed to check and get back to us, which Senator Baucus’s legal aide did.
At her direction we put together 140 pages of sworn testimony regarding our cases which were to go to Richard Powers Asst Dir FBI. It was turned in, and within a week I get a call from Melody Haynes, Senator Baucus’s chief legal person; a former prosecuting attorney for the state.
She said that this isn’t something the Senator could do and to just forget about it. We should contact the County Attorney with our complaints. That’s what this is all about Melody! We sent the stuff to Mr Powers anyway.
Within the week we see an article in the Missoulian newspaper that Senator Baucus had just given a large grant of surveillance electronics from the DOJ to Ravalli County Law enforcement.
The clouds parted, the angels sang and we all shouted “halleluiah”! We see the light Sir.
Montana is the third largest state in the lower 48, with less than a million people where your vote means nothing, and nobody gives a damn about your Civil Rights.
It is very easy to keep the sheep corralled. They use the American flag as a Club to keep you in line. The Ravalli County Attorney is the most powerful man in America to whom our State Senators and Congressman all report directly. I find myself on isolated duty. Is there really anything out there? Major Tom to ground control!
I visited the Soviet Union in 1989 just before it collapsed. In Moscow I witnessed control towers on the large boulevards with Police cars and motorcycles pulling over cars. It was a checkpoint, and you paid right there for whatever it was they were pulling you over for, usually it was car color. A woman in our party had been a secretary at the US Embassy during the Khrushchev Regime. She said if you were a woman out at night, you would be raped by the Police if they pulled you over.
In Hamilton it is the same if you are someone different, not part of the club. When I remembered that, I realized the scope of the madness here. The Soviets were never frightened about what you might have seen, they were afraid of what their people would learn from you.
Now when I drive through Hamilton I am immediately tagged by a cop with a computer and followed, My dog who can smell a rat a block away, barks at something she knows is out there in the darkness.
I find a Hamilton Police car in front of my property which is well out of town. I call the police dispatch, and they say there shouldn’t be anyone there. According to the Police chief, “he”, is investigating a “hit and run”.
Did you ever play soccer, Sir? There are three rules: Go to the ball, don’t trap the ball dead, and the first one that moves, loses. It also works well in life.
A man and wife go hiking up a local canyon trail. The husband comes back and says his wife has disappeared. The Sheriff searches high and low, but there is no sign of the woman. The Sheriff says he needs more equipment.
A man drives in the mountains and sees an abandoned car there for over 2 weeks. He sees a fishing rod and reel on the ground and picks it up to give to a local kids fishing derby.
The next day he is invaded by the Sheriff’s department who search his home and charge him with theft. It seems the junk car was a sting operation with bugged articles.
They want to know why he didn’t take the rest of the stuff?
The man is a very wealthy Texan, and the Sheriff’s dept finds itself with a tight hold of a “very angry tiger by the tail”. The Sheriff openly pleads with the man to let them out of it.
That DOJ surveillance stuff really works good. I believe this is the only case the Sheriff ‘s office has solved in the 7 years I have lived here.
An amateur photographer sees an accident scene on highway 93 and stops to get pictures. An injured man is extricated and taken to the hospital. He notices the Hamilton Police chief and Supercop quite far back in the crowd.
The man asks where the other car is? No one knows. He overhears the driver saying the guy got out of a concrete company pickup and asked if we were ok, then he drove away. He knew the people, and gave them copies of his photos. The victims did not get the police report written by Supercop for over a week.
It turns out, the driver of the other car is a Hamilton City Councilman. No charges are filed. The Montana Highway Patrol has no answer for why they were not notified and in charge of the accident since it was on a State Highway, but they don’t intend to follow up. Supercop gets an award as “report writer of the year” and is later promoted.
A boy riding his bicycle with friends crashes and has a severe head injury. The boys see a Hamilton police car approaching and try to wave him down. The officer in the car waves at them and laughs as he drives by.
The mother takes her son to the Hospital where they sew his ear back on.
The former FEMA officer takes a test to try and get on the Montana Highway Patrol as he has lost his job. At the end of the test he is told he has failed to make the grade. He asks to see his test score, and they refuse. He loses four different jobs after being stopped on the street by HPD asking where he works.
The Mother harassed by super cop is acquitted by the judge who publicly vowed to get her, with apologies that “we were all wrong about you”. She is granted her divorce. She cant get her wrongful arrest jail time back and her daughter is scarred for life.
Hamilton receives close to 3 million dollars in grants to fix Public Works.
The mayor meets separately in closed meeting with the city atty and several councilmen and they decide to earmark the money for a development 5 miles out of town that they can annex.
City atty says go and it’s a done deal.
Money goes poof, and the bogus City goes on with their land grab. The construction is to be done by an Arizona developer. I wonder where he is going to buy his concrete. Citizens call foul and report the misappropriation to the federal govt.
The former FEMA agent who lost his job, points out in a letter in the Bitterroot Star Weekly newspaper that the Flat Iron development would be quite illegal as it is not contingent to the imaginary city limits of the imaginary city of Hamilton.
The Mayor suddenly resigns.
A longtime Councilman jumps in as mayor, appoints a relative to his seat and we have business as usual. The word annex has not been mentioned since. Neither has the grant money.
President Obama, I ask you, man to man, father to father, this question. Is this your America?
I ask you to picture, yourself and your family in the same scenario as any one of these people. What would be your response to being ignored by our Justice System.
What would you say to Baucus, Testor and Rehberg? What would you say to Supercop? What do you say to me?
Can the Secretary of State initiate talks with the County Attorney in regards to the possibility of a United States Embassy within the Territory?
A neatly wrapped box containing the Entire Corrupted Justice System of the State of Montana, waits to be unwrapped. The American People watch and wait for their hopes and dreams to be fulfilled.
As we speak, the Hamilton Police Chief is attending the FBI Academy. Is he there to learn or instruct?
The courts carry out their appointed duties feeding the bloodlust of the County. Senator Baucus searches for a new US Attorney.
The MHP commander retires. The governor attends tea at the White House. Richard Powers is replaced in Washington as Deputy Director of the FBI.
I bought a Motor home and left the state.
I have the same feeling now as when I got back from the Aleutians. I search for America. I revisit “Travels with Charlie, feeling akin to Steinbeck and the burden of knowledge that he carried. My beautiful Samantha barks in the night, but it is only a bear. I lay awake at night knowing that the fire is not out.
I give this to you and America for Judgment.
President Obama, can you ask your recently 'featured, local, Montana hero', deputy chief of staff in your White House “who is George H. Corn”?
I am respectfully at your service. Perhaps we can go fishing some day.
