Solutions for attacks on property rights Event
SISKIYOU COUNTY – Ranchers, property owners and Constitutional groups from four Western states will meet at the top of California to discuss solutions to protect private property rights; and open roads in USFS managed lands.
Siskiyou County, California, and neighboring Klamath County, in Oregon, feel plenty of heat as fights over water, wolves and closed Forest Service roads slam in waves one-after-the-other.
Much of rural America feels the heavy-hand of demands from government agencies, Tribes and Enviro NGOs. Yes, ranchers along this Klamath River area are surrounded by over-regulations and greed.
Recently, the Klamath Tribe exercised its priority Water Right in Oregon and shut-off the water to 115,000 acres of pasture and hay ranches affecting over 80,000 head of cattle. And ranchers, along with home owners in Siskiyou County, are fighting a lawsuit to save their Water Right from the Karuk Tribe and NGO Klamath River Keepers.
But in this stifling mud and muck, solutions have been found. They just need to be learned and applied, according to three ranchers that will be speaking July 20-21 at the Liberty and Property Rights Coalition Events in Siskiyou County. Admission is free.
“This is the caper,” said Ramona Hage Morrison, whose family has fought one of the longest battles in the West to protect their Water and Grazing Rights in Nevada.
“They have hood-winked the property owners. Most don’t understand their property rights, but we can fix that,” smiles Hage-Morrison.
Yes, in the face of constant threats, Hage-Morrison is upbeat. Her family has won major “rights” issues in federal court over the US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. She will be sharing the line of defense that worked in Hage “takings” case and their “forage right” case.
The Liberty and Property Rights Coalition Event will be held at the Yreka Community Theater, at 812 North Oregon Street in Yreka — at the north end of town. Take the third off-ramp from I-5 exit 775. Time is 1 to 4 p.m. on Sat. July 20th. Several motels are in close proximity of the Event.
Then on Sun. July 21st, Butte Valley Protect our Property is hosting the Event at the Dorris Community Center, again at the north end of town on Highway 97. Time is 2 to 5 p.m.
“This is a celebration,” said organizer Debbie Bacigalupi, “and we are going to learn from those who have won. We are energized as this historical meeting brings property owners from four states into one Event.”
Arizona Rancher Danny Martinez worked with the Hage’s on their lawsuits and used what he learned to defend his ranch from the federal agencies. Martinez will share the remedies he has found. Bring your notebook.
Then Casey Anderson, a rancher from Idaho, will have a slide show on the federal mismanagement of wolves.
Michael Shaw, who just won a significant lawsuit over his property rights against Alameda County, will be serving as Master of Ceremonies for both meetings.

This is only the beginning of the assault on property rights in America. Visit “whitehouse.gov” and look up “Executive Order — National Defense Resources Preparedness”, which President Obama signed into law on Friday, March 16, 2012. This Executive Order junks property rights respecting financial, real estate or personal property, or freedom of action, because of the “civilian labor draft” provisions. You possess your property and your person only until the government wants them for itself.
For example, your bedridden grandmother can be taken out of a hospital or a nursing home, put into a boxcar, and sent to do stoop labor on a farm in Arizona; your teenage daughter can be sent to a government installation as a “comfort girl” for the staff. It’s the law.
In an economy/society in a long-term decline, which I think accurately describes present-day America, it’s a necessity to increase your income any way you can, and that includes sweating your land for more revenue. For example, a tribe of native Americans with federal recognition can demand higher rentals or more revenue from water or access rights — whatever brings in more money from those who occupy it. For those who’ll be paying more money, there are two choices: fight or flight.
I’m a Jew; I believe in thoughtfully planned flight. I didn’t come to the Philippines because I was fleeing from anything in America; I came because my wife would be happier here, and I love being here with my new family.
I’ve established a relocation consultancy to assist Americans who feel that life in America isn’t what they want it to be, to help them move their families, their money, and themselves to Australia, New Zealand, or the Philippines. None of these countries are “perfect”, but they all have their good points, and foreign investment money is pouring into this part of the world from North America and Western Europe (always in search of higher returns and better security), and there’s a lot of opportunity. Best of all, nobody’s watching you; you can stand tall and breathe free, as my family and I do.
Abandoning what you’ve built up and starting over again isn’t to everybody’s taste, but I think the federal government will come in on the side of non-caucasian, non-“establishment” groups, in favor of groups that can be seen as “oppressed” or “deprived”. Established white property owners are up against the federal government, which has the “Executive Order” cited above in its pocket.
