Personal Experiences with Trespassing
Bureaucrats
By Roni Bell 12/5/2024
No one, including Government
parties, may access your private property (exceptions include
fire/flood/terrorist) without your written permission.
By statute, pre-existing /valid/vested/senior/compensatory
rights to easements (trails/roads), forage, beneficial use of water and
improvements on Federal Land and deeded property should never be threatened by
federal employees.
The minute any government
entity (includes Federal), denies use of property, the law requires they begin
Just Compensation.
Government Parties who want
access to Chuck’s Wyoming property and our property in Colorado are required to
sign both a Private Property Admittance Agreement and a Public Servants
Questionnaire.
Some experiences I’ve had with
trespassing bureaucrats include:
1) Due to
BLM’s Animal Unit Month cuts to accommodate excess feral (there are no “wild”
horses in the U.S.A.) horses, BLM has forced significant income losses on Range
Allotment Owners including Chuck Sylvester.
2) Critical
projects (1995 example Emily Griffith facility in Larkspur) have been aborted
due to such as the incorrectly claimed Preble’s Jumping Mouse.
3) EPA
trespasses regularly to file false charges alleging regulatory violations. EPA
trespassed a friend’s (Mike Calicrate) livestock facility causing him
irreversible financial losses.
4) ESA
trespasses regularly to do “look sees” on private property, and to force
“corridors” on property owners. WY rancher (Doug Cooper) had a stroke due to a
corridor ESA forced on him.
5) FEMA
deliberately expands flood plains in order to convince towns/counties et al
into conceding Water authority over to them.
The Big Thompson and Platte River Ditch
company has accrued over $30,000 in attorney fees trying to fight FEMA’s
illegal overreach.
6) Years back,
Premises Animal I.D. denied young 4-H and FFA members from showing livestock at
the state fair. USDA still pushes Animal I.D., ignoring their “Brand Laws will
be honored” promise.
7) Wolves
are stressing and killing livestock, causing owners immeasurable physical,
mental and financial losses.
8) Water
is not administered in Prior Appropriation. Kevin Rein (CO State Water
Engineer) may be trying to do so but it’s impossible due to the 7 Water Courts.
In 2006-7 Judge Roger Klein’s WAS case
advisement - “NO harm to senior/vested/valid rights” was ignored. Whoever
implemented WAS shut down senior wells, overhydrated the upper end of the S.
Platte and raised the water table from its historic approximate 20 ft. to
surfacing. Friend Harry Strohauer was denied watering his potato vines and his
tubers were rotting. This stress contributed to a heart attack and subsequent
move of most of his operation to New Mexico.
The
2013 flood I kicked FEMA off our farm on- I think -a Friday. They came back
with vengeance – clip boards/tape measures etc. the following Monday. I had to
inform them of their “trespass” and warn them – “any information you collect
better not show up in a national database.”
Note: Because there are NO “navigable waters in Colorado”
EPA, Army Corps of Engineers and FEMA have zero authority over Water in
Colorado.
If you’re interested, I’d be honored to provide more cases and
deeper explanations of the unjust harm government trespasses have brought
Americans nationwide.
The members of R-CALF, an organization we belong to because
it represents “Cow-Calf Producers,” recently voted on and overwhelmingly passed
the Tenth Amendment Sanctury County resolution.
Overview: To protect the rights of Americans and community
economies, I urge you to pass the Tenth Amendment Sanctury County. This will
re-confirm a County’s authority to reject any request by Federal that’s outside
of Federal’s Enumerated Powers.
This sign has teeth. Use it!
