Sipsey Street Irregulars: The largely unreported ordeal of the Reese family as they encounter Federal Kafkaism in New Mexico. "It shows the depth of the depravity of the Justice Department."

The largely unreported ordeal of the Reese family as they encounter Federal Kafkaism in New Mexico. "It shows the depth of the depravity of the Justice Department."

"Dangers to the community" or just the reputation of the Feds? Rick, Ryin, Remington and Terri Reese.

David Codrea writes, "Remaining jailed New Mexico gun dealers finally freed after bureaucratic delay."

Rick and Ryin Reese were released on bond yesterday afternoon, a source close to the case confirmed to Gun Rights Examiner last night. The father and son are part of a family of gun dealers jailed for allegedly knowingly selling guns to cartel members, but who were found not guilty on the most serious charges of conspiracy and had money laundering charges against them dismissed. They were convicted on a handful of lesser charges of making false statements on forms, basically under the presumption that they should have know federal agents were lying. Wife Terri was released on bond last year, and son Remington was cleared of all charges.

Simultaneously with an order that the defendants would get a new trial after deeming the prosecution had suppressed evidence denying them a fair one, U.S. District Court Judge Robert C. Brack ordered the pair released on bond, an order probation officials were unable to comply with due to not having the required ankle monitors. This resulted in their being incarcerated for four days beyond the release order.

Later yesterday, David wrote:

"Government fought bail release claiming gun dealers a ‘danger to community’" Among the statements from jail phone intercepts that the government claimed showed that Reeses "pose(d) a danger to the community" were mentions of ATF misconduct at Waco and Ruby Ridge and this: “He did say that they are attempting to hide and seal a whole bunch of stuff that they are trying to open you know, and that’s really encouraging because it shows the depth of the depravity of the Justice Department, it shows that they are just lying cheating stealing, it shows they are whores.”

Telling the truth, it seems, is now to be held as evidence of your "threat to the community." David Continues:

This transparent attempt to portray the defendants as dangers to the community and as being too risky to grant bail, especially after almost 18 months behind bars with all major charges either dismissed or having been found not guilty of, and the further attempt to do so closed off from public scrutiny should raise serious doubts on the fitness of Gonzales to be elevated to a judgeship and more. A correspondence by a California attorney to N.M. Senator Martin Heinrich requesting an investigation for misconduct, to include the potential for disbarment and criminal prosecution, may point the way to similar efforts from both supporters of the Reese family and those simply interested in basic justice. American citizens are presumed innocent until proven guilty, and are not to be destroyed in the process of trying to defend themselves, with all their assets seized, against ambitious government careerists wielding essentially unlimited power and resources.

To my knowledge, David Codrea is the only person who has stayed with this story of Kafkaesque agony from the beginning, following all its twists and turns. One wonders when the beknighted "mainstream press" will notice.

Anonymous said...: I guess this family would be considered a risk and, according to the emperor and his corrupt to the core Justice Dept. ethicly justify to eliminate as per drone? Is this what we are facing?; February 7, 2013 at 4:52 AM
SWIFT said...: It is standard operating procedure for both ATF and FBI, through the U.S. Attorneys Office, to go before a U.S. Magistrate or Judge and say that a defendant is (a), a flight risk, or (b) a threat to the community, or (c) both. Usually it is both. The criminal part is, as often as not, they are not require to give any evidence supporting their claims. Any lie will do. One would think that after hearing the U.S. Attorneys lie, time and time again, a magistrate or judge would demand something as proof. They do not. I have followed too many cases and nothing ever changes. Our so called justice system is staffed from top to bottom with whores perverted scum.; February 7, 2013 at 6:28 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
