    The Parson’s Cause

    11 Apr


    The Two Penny Act…

    was a law that affected the compensation of Anglican ministers in the Virginia colony. The Anglican Church was the only recognized church in Virginia. Enacted in 1758, it sprouted a controversy out of which arose the Parson’s Cause trial, which is regarded as an important event in the history of American Independence.
    The Parson’s Cause was actually an important legal and political dispute in the Colony of Virginia. It is/was often viewed as an important event leading up to the Revolution. Oddly enough, the unknown Patrick Henry argued in favor of colonial rights in the case. It didn’t hurt that his father, Colonel John Henry, was the judge who presided over the court case and jury that decided the issue.
    After King George III vetoed the law, his veto caused an uproar in the colony. Many Virginia legislators saw the king’s veto as a breach of their legislative authority. A suit had already been filed, and young Patrick argued,
    “that a King, by disallowing Acts of this salutary nature, from being the father of his people, degenerated into a Tyrant and forfeits all right to his subjects’ obedience.”
    The jury awarded the plaintiff (Rev. Maury) one penny in damages. The important thing is that the award effectively nullified the Crown veto. The fear (Crown), intimidation (Power), and doubt (regarding our ability to self-govern) was gone forever. Thus setting the stage for the showdown known as the American Revolution. The people would never again be suppressed by the Crown. Not without extreme bitterness.
    Kind of like what we are witnessing on a ranch in Nevada right now?

    Oops, another one!

    10 Apr




    I might find my own war to travel (a shorter distance) to. It appears as though NV is not the only hot spot in the nation. The same BLM is up to similar things right here in Texas. This must stop!


    The Red River is the boundary between Texas and Oklahoma…or is it?

    Byers, Texas along the Red River — The BLM stole 140 acres of the Tommy Henderson ranch thirty years ago. They took his land and paid him absolutely nothing. He sued and lost. Now the BLM is using that court case as precedent to do it again. The problem is, the land they want to seize is property that ranchers have a deed for and have paid taxes on for over a hundred years.
    The BLM claims that about 90,000 acres (116 miles along the Red River) have never belonged to


    Texas in the first place. They will seize the land and it will seriously change the boundaries between the two states.

    Avulsion verses Accretion

    Since 1803 when the Louisiana Purchase was completed, there has been a controversy over the boundary between Oklahoma and Texas. The boundary is supposed to be the vegetation line on the south side of the Red River. But the River has moved over time. The problem is the definition of that boundary line – Oklahoma and Texas each use different semantics to define it. And the BLM is finding ways to use the disputed words to give them the ability to seize the land.

    According to the BLM, the Red River is always Accretion (gradual accumulation of sediment) to the south, and always Avulsion (rapid formation of a new river channel) to the north. So according to the BLM, the boundary only moves one direction, never in the direction that favors the ranchers. They are looking to re-draw the entire portion of the Red River boundary. That includes 90,000 acres of land along a 116 mile stretch of the river.

    “BLM officials believe they have a responsibility to manage land they believe is federal which includes an estimated 90,000 acres along 116 miles of the Red River. If land is found to be public, BLM officials say they have three options: leave the land open, closed, or open with limitations.” January 2014
    Public input ignored?

    Land that has been in the families of ranchers is to be seized as “public lands” that would be subject to fees or blocked off entirely from rancher’s use. Or in some cases, moving the boundary line over to Oklahoma, where Texas ranchers can lose their rights to the lands that they have owned for more than a century. The BLM had open meetings back in January to “take input” from the public …but they are moving forward with their plan to seize the land anyway. There was likely never any intention of actually listening to the rancher’s stand.

    The taking of property from land owners, the stealing of cattle, all of these things are apparently the modus operandi of the Bureau of Land Management. There are no tortoises involved in this incident, just land-grabbing feds who are intent to take away the property of ranchers that have owned it for hundreds of years. Will it come to armed confrontation as is occurring in Nevada?

    We don’t know.


    Open grazing of cattle has always been a common law right in America. It is time for the American people to rise up against the theft of private lands and property by a government that is out of control. Ranchers need to contact Texas Representative Mac Thornberry for assistance. We will monitor this situation as it progresses.

    BLM Claims 90,000 Acres Does Not Belong To Texas, Attempts To Seize Ranch

    Posted by Eric Barlow on April 17, 2014
    www.inquisitr.com

    The BLM removed armed federal agents from Bunkeville and near the Bundy ranch, but another possible “land grab” or range war appears to be brewing in Texas. Fellow rancher Tommy Henderson has been fighting the BLM for 30 years, and appears to be losing yet another round in the battle.
    Tommy Henderson is locked in a property rights fight with the BLM. Although many students are taught in geography class that the border between Texas and Oklahoma is the Red River, the issue is far more complicated than that, according to the Bureau of Land Management. The BLM used an ongoing debate over the border to nab 140 acres of land Henderson’s failed lawsuit against the agency three decades ago.
    BLM is now using the Tommy Henderson lawsuit ruling as a precedent to seize even more of his land along a 116-mile stretch of the river which the agency claims never belonged to Texas in the first place. Henderson holds a deed to the 90,000 acres, but such a legal document did not prevent him from losing the 140-acre parcel he had labored over and paid property taxes on for years.
    Henderson had this to say about the emerging Red River range war in Texas:
    “They’re wanting to take the boundaries that the courts placed here and extend those east and west to the forks of the river north of Vernon and east to the 98th Meridian which is about 20 miles east of us.”
    If the BLM is successful in its bid to seize the 90,000 owned by the Texas rancher, it would substantially alter the boundaries between the two states. The fight boils down to the difference between avulsion and accretion. The river has moved over time and the boundary is supposed to be noted as the vegetation line along the south side of the waterway. Both states use different semantics to define the boundary, according to the Americas Freedom Fighters website. The BLM has allegedly been able to capitalize on the confusion in the bid to seize Henderson’s land. Oklahoma state statute defines avulsion in a different manner than both the United States government and Texas.
    A statement from the BLM about the possible land seizure in Texas reads:
    “BLM officials believe they have a responsibility to manage land they believe is federal which includes an estimated 90,000 acres along 116 miles of the Red River. If the land is found to be public, BLM officials say they have three options: leave the land open, closed, or open with limitations.”
    The BLM also contends that in the Red River there is always accretion – the gradual accumulation of sediment, to the south. The federal agency also stated that avulsion, the rapid formation of a new river channel, occurs on the north side of the river. The Bureau of Land Management believes that since the boundary between Texas and Oklahoma only moves in one direction – and that direction has not favored the ranchers working the land along the Red River. If the agency is able to redraw the Red River boundary it will include Tommy Henderson’s 90,000 acre ranch. If the BLM seizes the land, claiming that is should never have been privately owned due to the boundary dispute, grazing of cattle could still be an option – but will come at a price.
    Tommy Henderson also had this to say about the very real possibility of losing his ranch:
    “How can BLM come in and say, ‘Hey, this isn’t yours.’ Even though its patented from the state, you’ve always paid taxes on it. Our family paid taxes for over 100 years on this place. We’ve got a deed to it. But yet they walked in and said it wasn’t ours. Originally, here the river was out there where it is now and it eroded and accreted up to here, and then it eroded and accreted back. Well, their interpretation is that it eroded up to here but avulsed back. So when you listen to them it is always erosion to the south because the property line follows it then, but it’s always avulsion when it goes north. So the boundary can move south but it can never move back north.”
    A boundary change could land families who have be considered Texans for generations on the other side of the line and actually suddenly find themselves Oklahoma residents.
    How do you feel about the ongoing actions by the BLM which could impact Texas ranch owned by Tommy Henderson?
