On Friday, lawmakers from 9 western states gathered in Utah to have joint talks about taking control of federal lands within their borders. More than 50 political leaders, including lawmakers and county commissioners, convened at the Legislative Summit on the Transfer for Public Lands to speak about a common goal: wresting control of lands within their states, rich with oil, timber and minerals from the federal government.

The nine western states were Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

The move comes in the shadow of the Bureau of Land Management's standoff in Nevada against Cliven Bundy. However, the summit was planned long before what took place in the past couple of weeks.

"What's happened in Nevada is really just a symptom of a much larger problem," Utah House Speaker Becky Lockhart (R-Provo) said.

The summit was organized by Rep. Ken Ivory (R-West Jordan) and Montana state Senator Jennifer Fielder. Even US Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) was in attendance and addressed the group over lunch.

According to the Salt Lake Tribune:

Fielder, who described herself as "just a person who lives in the woods," said federal land management is hamstrung by bad policies, politicized science and severe federal budget cuts.

"Those of us who live in the rural areas know how to take care of lands," Fielder said, who lives in the northwestern Montana town of Thompson Falls.

"We have to start managing these lands. It's the right thing to do for our people, for our environment, for our economy and for our freedoms," Fielder said.

…

The intent was never to take over national parks and wilderness created by an act of Congress Lockhart said. "We are not interested in having control of every acre," she said. "There are lands that are off the table that rightly have been designated by the federal government."

A study is underway at the University of Utah to analyze how Utah could manage the land now in federal control. That was called for in HB142, passed by the 2013 Utah Legislature.

…

"Utah has been way ahead on this," Fielder said.

Fielder is correct. Utah has led the way in its demands for the federal government to turn over lands that it owns to the state. She also said five task forces or other analyses were underway to get a handle on costs and benefits.

Idaho Speaker of the House Scott Bedke echoed Fielders comments, stating, "It's time the states in the West come of age," Bedke said. "We're every bit as capable of managing the lands in our boundaries as the states east of Colorado."

Rep. Ivory has sponsored legislation, signed by Governor Gary Herbert, which demands the federal government relinquish lands in Utah. This was simply demanding that the federal government make good on its promises contained in the 1894 Enabling Act for Utah to become a state.

AUN-TV adds:

It may be little known, but Western States even have voted to take over Federal Lands as part of the Sagebrush Rebellion. President Ronald Reagan said in an August 1980 campaign speech in Salt Lake City, “I happen to be one who cheers and supports the Sagebrush Rebellion. Count me in as a rebel.”

Nevada has tried to gain control of their own land several times. Lawmakers passed Senate Joint Resolution 27, which concluded: “RESOLVED, That the Legislature of the State of Nevada hereby urges the Congress of the United States to consent to the amendment of the ordinance of the Nevada constitution to remove the disclaimer concerning the right of the Federal Government to sole and entire disposition of the unappropriated public lands in Nevada …”

In 1956 the voters of Nevada amended the state Constitution to allow taxation of federal lands, should the Congress ever consent. In 1996 the voters again amended the Constitution to remove the so-called Disclaimer Clause mentioned in SJR27.

There is a video that sums up why the Western States would want to do this, even before the BLM’s dangerous fiasco at the Bundy Ranch. It has an appeal in it so we are in effect giving a free ad away, because the info in the video is short and highly informative.

More Proof that Russian and Chinese Troops Have Breached the Territorial Integrity of the United States

By Dave Hodges
Republic Broadcasting Network

Since the advent of the Bundy Affair and the subsequent standoff against the BLM and their heavy handed tactics associated with the theft of Cliven Bundy’s private possessions and property, I have been warning about the Communist Chinese role in this event and their intention to control all solar energy in newly designated Solar Energy Zones. These Solar Energy Zones are being financed by the American taxpayer under the auspices of Senator Harry Reid and his sons. These zones are also located next to major energy sources (e.g. Hoover Dam, Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant). This is treason because we have allowed the Chinese into the inner most secrets of our power grid (e.g. Chinese participation in the Grid Ex II drills on November 13-14, 2013). And why would we ever permit the construction of Chinese controlled Solar Energy Zones next to other major energy suppliers as well being adjacent to our international trade corridor routes (i.e. the Canamex Highway system) and in near proximity to major military installations? Doesn’t this make anyone nervous?

Russian Troops On American Soil

The treason does not stop with the Chinese Solar Energy Zones within the United States. I have long reported the existence of the Russian military on American soil.

Despite the fact that the Russians occupy Crimea and are threatening to overrun at minimum, Ukraine, and at maximum, most of Eastern Europe. Obama is standing down at a time when Putin is stepping up. Don’t forget, that Putin threatened to nuke the United States if we invaded Syria and Iran.

Russians in Montana

Recent video and photographic reports reveal a Russian military presence in Montana. Obama is also confiscating Apache Helicopters from American governors.

Obama Purges the American Military in Preparation for Gun Confiscation

It is a well known fact that Obama purging the military and firing senior command officers who do not believe with the Sovietization of the American military, are being fired. When one looks at the evidence, this is a move that will culminate in the disarming of Americans and the marginalization and control of Evangelical Christians.

Obama Is Disarming NATO in Advance of the Coming Russian Attack

According to Stars and Stripes, on March 18, 2014, nearly two dozen M-1 Abrams tanks were loaded onto a train headed for the docks in Bremerhaven, Germany. The tanks were subsequently shipped to South Carolina.  Two German-based U.S. Army brigades were just inactivated, as another, the 172nd Separate Infantry Brigade at Grafenwöhr is currently being disbanded. The door is opening for a Putin invasion of Europe.

Obama’s Martial Law Plans

Obama is planning to suspend the Posse Comitatus Act and deploy these tanks, along with the 2,700 armored vehicles already purchased by the Department of Homeland Security on U.S. soil when he finally declares martial law.

Missing Russian Soldier in Detroit Leads to a Multi-Agency Manhunt

A mystery recently took place in Detroit that has the feel of a potential false-flag event unfolding as someone who claimed to be a Russian soldier, talking in a heavy Russian accent and claiming to be a Lieutenant in the Russian Army. The Russian soldier disappeared after calling police on a satellite telephone to say that he’d been kidnapped and had been stabbed and was losing a lot of blood. The video showed that both the Border Patrol and Detroit police were conducting a search for a Russian soldier ‘missing’ in America?

One of the more disturbing aspects of the news report centered around the fact that the location of the Russian was traced to the proximity of a major power plant. What is it with the Russians and the Chinese that so many of their domestic activities center around American energy? Former Green Beret, John Moore, says that a dozen Russian commandos could disable all utilities to a major city.

Reports from Tennessee and Kentucky

Then there is Sherrie Wilcox of Knoxville,TN. Sherrie has seen and photographed DHS armored vehicles back in March with Russian soldiers manning the vehicles in eastern Tennessee and Western Kentucky. The following video details how Russians are training in DHS vehicles.

I have reports from hundreds of citizens from around the country who have sighted Russian soldiers in places as innocuous as at a Walmart in Houston and Russian troops training with American soldiers in the Victorville, CA. area. Julie Telegenhoff, the owner of the popular Facebook site, A Sheep No More, sent me a video of Russian troops in California. Mark Stephens, a Marine corps veteran sent me reports of Russian troops operating in and around Twenty Nine Palms, California.

Russians In Alaska and Tennessee

The Russians are continuing to come into the country under a bilateral agreement with FEMA, they are here and they have been here for a long time .The extra-constitutional “agreements”(that means illegal agreements), between Russia and FEMA were inked late last spring in Washington, D.C., at the fourth annual meeting of the illegally created “U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission Working Group on Emergency Situations.” This extra-governmental organization, formed under the Obama administration, is one of almost two dozen similar “working groups” bringing together top U.S. and Russian officials. These two bodies are cooperating on everything from the drug war and agriculture to terror, science, “rule of law” (could that be code for martial law?), health, environment, energy, nuclear issues, education, culture, media, business, arms control, and more, according to the U.S. State Department. The Senate has not ratified any of the international deals, as required by the Constitution of the United States. And as such, this is an illegal agreement. However, this is not just an illegal agreement, IT CONSTITUTES TREASON AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

The agreement calls for Russian troops to engage in policing activities at American public events on American soil. And we are seeing the same thing at the Army base at Fort Carson, Colorado where Russian soldiers are training at the local base and are engaged in local policing activities.

According to the locals who have contacted me, the Russians walk freely in Alaskan cities in full view of the residents.

The people are afraid of these sighted Russian troops. The Russians keep to themselves and don’t interact with the locals. Since I first wrote about this, I have been contacted by people in Fairbanks, Juneau and the outlying northern areas with similar reports. Most of the people who have contacted me are too cowardly to allow me to cowardly to use their names, but people like Dr. Susan Helman of Gatlinburg, TN., are not afraid. Dr. Helman was on my talk show several weeks ago and reported on young Russians (20′s and 30′s) who live in Russian enclaves in her town and do not interact with the locals, yet they speak perfect English and unlike most immigrant groups, there are no English speaking stragglers. In other words, these young Russians are plants and are being pre-positioned for assignment when the time is right. Things are so bad in Helman’s town, that she sees unmarked helicopters landing on the grass adjacent to her home which borders a golf course. Recently, the golf course suspended all golf related activities. However, there is still activity at the golf course. I have over a 100 emails from eyewitness accounts of Russian troop sightings on American soil.

The Russian Controlled Media Attacks Dave Hodges

On October 28, 2013, I was contacted by reporter and producer, Victoria Mashkova, from the Voice of Russia (formerly Radio Moscow), and was invited on to their radio program to discuss the possibility of martial law coming to America. I have to admit I was taken back that the Russians would choose me, a relative unknown, to come on their international broadcast, airing in 39 countries, to discuss such a serious topic. I accepted and in the early morning hours I participated in a 10 minute interview. Inside of the United States today, there are untold numbers of Russian troops for which I have received reports of sightings from first-hand witnesses whom I personally know and will detail a little bit later in this article. It is quite apparent that Russian troops will be used for gun confiscation, American citizen detention and Lord knows what else when martial law is finally declared. The Russians have a vested interest to conceal their true intentions related to why they have thousands of troops inside of our country. As I lay out the events connected to the interview it will become increasingly clear that I was invited onto Voice Of Russia to completely discredit the notion that America is going into martial law. Their website and subsequent introduction minimized my professional credentials. In the aftermath of the interview, the Russians referred to me as an extremist and did not list one item of proof I offered for my claims of martial law. And when I exposed the duplicity of the Russians, they subsequently wrote to me and admitted that they “don’t propagandize all of their reports”!

The clear intent of the Russians was to discredit my pending martial law claims as it related to the Russians and their impending participation.

Conclusion

This is a “countdown to Armageddon” scenario. The Putin chess pieces are in place and are only awaiting the orders to begin to enforce martial law, incarcerate dissidents and seize guns. Of course, there will be sheep who will deny that any of this will happen and continue to champion Putin as the savior of the free world. The wisdom of this approach should be self-evident. I fear we do not have long to wait to witness the unfolding of this long anticipated plot.

On April 21, 2014, I will be appearing with Steve Quayle on the Hagmann and Hagmann Report to expose this broad-based agenda along with much more.

POSTSCRIPT

A confidential eyewitness source passed the following information along to Steve Quayle, who forwarded this information to me. Here is it in its unedited form.

“Yesterday had a group of Russian helicopters in the midwest, identified as such, who were flying in  region at 4000 ft as noted by those on alert

They were hiding presence except to say they were up and at that level for air safety purposes as required, also quiet mode for minimal noise. The foreign presence is around, and local law enforcement are lied to as they are just told there will be mil activity in their area as a generalized announcement on their radios so if they get calls from people just to blow it off as whatever with no response from them. There was a “training exercise” conducted nearby last Monday that involved- Mil and Feds that was kept very secret, no news, no nothing. Another ALERT INDIVIDUAL in area got wind of it and made known-”

Let's not have any extra pressure on Obama to "get tough" on the Russians and the Chinese. Last thing we need right now.
