The Montana Freemen

The Montana Freeman - 3dtbgDan Rather called them a “hate group” and Ted Koppel “racist hustlers.” They were labeled “domestic terrorists” by the mainstream news media. But the truth was that the Montana Freemen came closer to exposing the fraud within the Federal Reserve system than anyone ever had since the bank’s doors first opened in 1914.

Why did Attorney General Janet Reno really send a total of 600 FBI agents to surround the farming area in central Montana in a siege that lasted 81 days? And why were the Freemen never allowed to use their own papers at trial? This evidence disappeared forever when the Garfield County, Montana courthouse in Jordan mysteriously burned to the ground later that year.

Pat Shannan spent a total of 18 days in Montana during that 1996 standoff at the behest of The Spotlight newspaper, and the result was a book unlike any other written on the topic before or since.


Review by Heidi Rankin, Staff Writer for The Jubilee:

I had heard the story, followed it on the evening news, read about it in The Jubilee, commented on it with my husband, and therefore thought I had exhausted the topic. Until I picked up this 115 page book The Montana Freemen: The Untold Story by J. Patrick Shannan. I was immediately drawn into the story by Shannan’s easy writing and subtle sense of humor. The book reads like a novel but the many footnotes and references are a chilling reminder that this is not a work of fiction. This is a real story, and yes this did happen in America. Once I got started, I did not put it down until the last word had been gobbled up by my eager brain. I was left satisfied, although I must admit, Shannan has aroused a curiosity for Common Law knowledge I have never before felt. In it’s introduction, The Montana Freemen takes us from the very beginning of the Common Law to the position the United States now finds itself. In a way, this book is an introduction to the particulars of Common Law, but this information, which tends to be tedious, is presented in such a way a child could explain it and even enjoy it. The introduction to Common Law gives us a basis to understand who the Montana Freemen are and what they are trying to do. If you’re already familiar with Common Law, you will still find this book to be a great review and description of the Freemen’s particular circumstances.

If you ever wanted to know why the Justus Township was targeted by federal agencies to be next in line for extermination, your questions will soon be answered. What you may begin to wonder is how the township made it as far as they did. There certainly seems to have been some divine intervention. Even their township name [Justus] is, unbeknownst to them, Biblical. (Justus is a surname of Jesus, Col. 4:11 KJV).

The book details the media black out, the “circular filing” of most of the Freemen’s paperwork, the mislabeling and misconstruing of terms and names by ignorant press and the lack of support from many “patriots” due to misunderstandings and/or possible coercion by federal forces. There really is only one way to find out what really happened, and that is to hear it from the victims themselves. Shannan interviewed all 23 Freemen in order to accurately report the development of circumstances that led most of them into jail for charges seemingly, and in some cases admittedly, trumped up.

The Montana Freemen – describes just what it was Leroy Schweitzer discovered that got the officials so stirred up, and why. Even now, they are doing everything in their power to keep this knowledge from being released to the public. They are caught in their own trap and they know it! Leroy Schweitzer shares the atrocities committed to him by prison officials; you will cringe at the obvious abuse of this peaceful man. But a few short sentences later, you will rejoice with him as he succeeds to make a tumult out of the court. He has prosecutors thumbing through law books unable to keep up with him as he recites law from memory. Shannan also addresses the militia, who, having received a lot of negative coverage in the past couple of years, vigilantly kept watch during the siege, should the worst of events materialize. After learning what our fellow countrymen have suffered to redeem and secure our God-given rights, how can we not feel supportive of our fellow patriots?

The patriot community has a tendency toward pessimism, however, and few believe as the Freemen do, that their cause will ultimately succeed and bring to light to the American public the lies they have been told since at least 1913. I’d like to believe, with divine assistance, it may come true.

“Now you see when I get done, everything I have done will be a supreme court report, and it will go into the Superintendent of Documents in Washington, DC on a mandate published. And that will be making it public lawfully…Then we will tie it into our Congressional Reference case, and at that point we will start to run the country lawfully and it’s been authorized by their Appellate branch,” said Leroy Schweitzer, “The ramifications are endless,” Shannan remarked.

“Yes, they are…”


From the Introduction:

Concerning situations regarding government security, we journalists have found in recent years that there are almost always two, very opposing, stories. One is the who-what-when-where-and-why of the truth, and the other is the government-fabricated myth – the total flip-flop reminding us of our chuckles emitted while reading the distortion of facts flowing from the Soviet Union’s news agency Tass not so long ago.

Tass’ mission was always to glorify the government’s position and the actions of its agents while debunking truth and demonizing anyone whose position was adversarial. This is now the solitary path of the American news agencies. Today in this country, whenever we see information suppressed for “reasons of national security,” we immediately perceive this to mean reasons of government security.

In the early spring of 1996, hundreds of FBI agents surrounded the Ralph Clark ranch complex near Jordan, Montana for a total siege of 81 days. The government spin was that the nearly thirty people inside were of a radical anti-government and racist religious sect who had written bad checks and threatened judges, among other things. About the only true claim made was that, indeed, these people were of a great threat to government security but not for the reasons portrayed.

In fact, the Montana Freemen were coming closer than anyone had in 82 years of exposing to the American people the fraud and myth of the Federal Reserve system. This is why the federal government jumped on top of them and began to stomp with both feet. The inside secrets of those twin sisters of deception – the FED and the IRS – must be preserved at all costs.

After a total of 18 days in Montana on two separate trips – first on behalf of The People’s Radio Network in May and then for Spotlight newspaper in June – I was flying back to New Orleans and began to realize that not only was I the only reporter on earth with this full story but almost the only one who had been seeking it. Certainly, the robotons from Associated Press and the national television networks had not tried to learn the Freeman’s side. I was the only journalist to interview the Freeman in the Billings jailhouse. This was only because they had heard my radio reports and knew that I was attempting to treat them fairly, and that was all they ever wanted – fair treatment. They never got it in the courtrooms.

One of the most outrageous displays indicative of a tyrannical police state happened the week before I arrived in Jordan. Lt. Col. (ret.) James “Bo” Gritz and retired Phoenix cop Jack McLamb had attempted to negotiate a surrender for four straight days without success. The final day before giving up, Bo Gritz emerged from the ranch house with a videotape in one hand and a 19-page document in the other. He handed the tape to an ABC newsman, as instructed by Freeman Russell Landers, and deposited the document into the hands of the FBI Special Agent in Charge. Then he turned to the news cameras and spoke:

“Here is your chance, Janet Reno,” he said, “to behave lawfully instead of forcefully this time,” with an obvious reference to the Waco incident. “Review this document and show the Freeman how they are wrong, and they will come out tomorrow.”

It was the high water mark of the Freeman and an offer that should have been repeated every day of the siege. Not only did Janet Reno and the Justice Department prove by their reticence that they could not face the truth, but the FBI immediately confiscated the video from the newsman, and the contents were never aired.

I later secured a copy of that 19-page document explaining the Freemen’s stand and reprinted it in the appendix. It alone is worth the price of the book. It explains much of the presumption of law by which the tyrannical District of Columbia governs by usurpation of the constitution. The reason the Justice Department refused to respond will be obvious to the reader. The videotape, had it been aired nationally, would have been devastating to the government’s propaganda machine. It showed the very articulate Russ Landers explaining the Freeman’s lawful stand in terms that anyone could understand and appreciate.

THE MONTANA FREEMEN – The Untold Story of Government Suppression and the News Media Cover-up is a story told from the other side of the fence, from inside the jailhouse, and from inside the brains of some very brilliant men.

      Russ was one of the first to read it, and he was also one of my sources two decades ago, as you will see. Yours is going out on Tuesday. I understand that Russ is the last one still incarcerated, as my longtime contact Dan Petersen finally got sprung last year. Do you happen to know the Landers’ spring date?

    Hi,

    I was banned by the warden from ever communicating to Russell Landers again for recording a 5 min call and putting it on youtube. I have recently ordered your book about the Montana Freemen. Have you ever sent Russell a copy of your book and is he aware of your work? Russell told me that they murdered his son about 5 years ago and his wife Dana has dissapeared about 2.5 years ago.

    It’s is most shameful but, our government is committing similar crimes against the citizens of our country on a regular basis. Search below to find and read the Schaefer Cox story. You will then know and understand the truth of what I say.

    The Forest Park murders in Portland Oregon in 1999 where masterminded
    by some members of the NW Alano Club on 24th and Kearney St in
    Portland Oregon. They are still free and have not been brought up for
    charges at this time.

    I was taken to the psych ward a day the morning before sending out
    this message to Sacramento bands on August 22nd 2018. I had sent it
    to all of the Lake County Government employees in Florida on
    August 20th 2018 I sent it to President Trump and all his cabinet members.
    Lots of people were murdered in Sacramento as a result of my situation during
    the years 1987 and 1988. My father lives in the San Francisco bay area which is
    in his back yard. He a mastermind of murders for the Family,
    He was also a nuclear physicist at the Livermore Laurence National
    Laboratory as a result of his work he had a very high security clearance.
    People with these security clearances, the government knows what they are
    doing and therefore must have approved of it. He retired in the eighties
    to become a consultant in the Star Wars Program during the Regan administration.
    The government must have known he was involved in these murders and did nothing.

    There was another person who was connected to the Sacramento Murders named
    Frank Topping. Frank like my father didn’t usually get his hands
    dirty but arranged things. What needs to be arranged? Coroner’s
    reports. Police officer’s interactions and of course the murders
    themselves. These actions can’t be coordinated by someone with dirty
    hands if they expect to get away with it. They make them look like
    medical problems, accidents and drug overdoses is generally how they
    get away with it and a lot of system support. There is statistically
    to many people I have been connected to who have died untimely death
    for them not to be murdered and statistics don’t lie.

    Dear President Trump and all other email recipients:

    Two people who have a lot of experience with this situation are in
    Portland, Oregon. One of them is named Jennifer Cooper and the other
    one is Lexi Olson. To learn more about what’s going on you can
    probably contact them at

    (503) 228-7134 or you can send them an email addressed to them at
    cccadmin@ccconcern.org

    I’m sure they’ll be happy to share everything they know with you.
    Also there was a situation I was part of that Heart was involved in
    that involved murder. I don’t really want to talk about the specifics
    except to say it happened. My bands mates and band mates from two
    other bands and the secretary of Bad Animal Studio’s where
    murdered as a result of a situation that happened around 1993. Heart
    and Steve Lawson owned the studio at the time.

    I have good reason to believe Michael Jackson was murdered along with
    other stars such as Chris Cornell of Sound Garden. Michael Jackson was
    never involved in my situation but do to his circumstances of his
    life and around his death it defiantly looks very likely that that is
    what happened. Chris Cornell was involved in my situation along with
    my friend Matt who played for a band called Foil and now they are both
    dead. This was around 1993 shortly after the situation with heart that
    lead to the murders of my band mates.

    Ronnie Gardener sexually assaulted me at nine years old in Pleasanton,
    California following orders of my father John Huebel who had it done
    for the Family. An attempt was made in Denver, Colorado when I was
    eleven. Again I was molested in Orlando Florida when I was thirteen.

    After I moved to Boulder Colorado after 1977 it started happening
    regularly after I was removed from my home as a result of an arrest
    for drugs that turned out to be entrapment. I was placed in Pine
    Street Attention home and the Molestation started up again. I now
    believe that’s why they wanted me out of my mother’s home. It
    certainly looks that way. One of the offenders was a school teacher
    in Boulder. He was particularly traumatic for me. What I remember
    about him was and I absolutely hated him. The other offender who I
    remember the most has also molested hundreds of other children in the
    Boulder area and his name was Steve Miles. He’s still in Boulder.
    William S. Burroughs, author of Naked Lunch came to Steve and made and
    arrangement with him. I understand the deal was molest me and get me
    on hard drugs and Steve Miles could then molest all the kids he wanted
    to which he has certainly taken advantage of the negotiation. Around
    1992 he was busted for Child Pornography and the police let him go.
    They had what they needed to put Steve Miles away for the rest of his
    life. I guess his arrangement with William S. Burroughs came into
    effect and he was given a pass and went on to molest hundreds of more
    boys from Boulder and Fairview High schools. I suspect Steve Miles
    may have murdered his mother Mary Miles. He was also connected to
    another of my abusers whom he introduced me to who was later murdered
    and was connected to scores of other people I knew. The person Steve
    may have murdered was named Randy who was also one of my abusers. He
    would be dead if he wasn’t involved in in murders. That’s the way it
    works. Not that it is relevant but Steve worked for RCA records as a
    photographer. I suspect that he lost this cushy job as a result of
    his propensity for children. They couldn’t afford press related to
    that of a photographer that worked for them. I don’t believe they
    cared beyond that because he was allowed to go on to molest some 700
    children including me as I understand it. He lost the job before I met
    him. I was one of those kids as I mentioned previously. I understand
    he’s a very good photographer. Ask the kids he photographed before he
    was arrested for child pornography in 1992. All kidding aside he
    snuck a camera into the Stones concert in 1980 and I was really
    impressed with his work so it wasn’t a proficiency issue and I don’t
    think he quit either.

    In 2016 I was in the Boulder Community Hospital on Arapahoe and a
    nurse tried giving me some sort of drug to get me into a sexual
    situation to make false allegations of sexual assault. Also in 2016 I
    was in Lakewood Washington at a hospital called St Joseph. There was
    an Asian nurse in her mid to late forties there and they gave me a
    shot of testosterone. They removed my condoms from my jacket and the
    nurse intended to have sex with me when the testosterone took effect
    to make false allegations of rape. I left before the testosterone took
    effect.

    In 1982 I saw Ozzy Osborne at the CU Events Center in Boulder Colorado
    which featured Randy Rhoads. I saw that concert and without exception
    he was the best guitar player I’ve ever seen in fact I’ve never seen
    another guitarist as good as Randy Rhoads was. About three weeks later
    on March 18, 1982 he died in an airplane accident in Leesburg Florida
    along with the hair dresser for the band and the pilot. Turns out it
    was murder. Ozzy Osborne and his wife Sharon where involved. So was my
    father. He’s a Pilate himself and I’m pretty certain he’s the one who
    planned the details of this tragic murder of an extremely talented
    individual. For an example of his playing go to

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSfNvTVEALw&list=RDG3LvhdFEOqs&index=3

    This crime needs to be solved. They had the twisted idea that if I saw
    this guitar player and he died a tragic death a few weeks later that
    would somehow get the music idea out of my head which it did not. In
    fact he became a major influence in my style and I have a lead style
    that clearly shows I was influenced musically by this individual.
    What was in it for Ozzy Osbourne? Well Randy Rhoads was about to
    leave the band and go to school for classical music. I’m not sure
    what happened but I suspect there was bad blood between Ozzy Osbourne
    and this guitar player and he decided to do something else. Ozzy
    Osbourne was no longer with Black Sabbath. It appears they didn’t
    want him for some reason so he was trying to make it on his own. No
    question he would of without the murder but as a result of this
    horrible crime the two albums he had produced with Randy Rhoads
    increased in sales and he created tribute products. Seems he had the
    recordings for this prior to the murder. This makes me seriously
    wonder how long it before the crime happened it was planned out.
    Turns out Randy Rhoads had a sexual encounter with Sharon Osbourne and
    Ozzy knew about it before this happened. Sharon wanted to keep the
    peace with Ozzy and Ozzy was jealous. I’m pretty sure that’s a huge
    part of the motive. I believe Ozzy threw the switch from the buss.
    He was tracking the plane. Said he was asleep as an alibis.

    The situation with me has been going on for many years and Boulder has
    had a huge part in it all. I can trace it all the way back to
    Sacramento California when I was eight years old in 1970.

    You should be aware of this situation as a lot of people involved in
    the Boulder County Government are involved and have criminal cases put
    together against them and are soon to be arrested. Brad King the
    district attorney for Lake County FL, has been make aware of the fact
    that my father John Huebel and Ozzy Osborne are responsible for the
    murder of Randy Rhoads and it is now the responsibility of Brad King
    to see to it that charges against them and others involved are filed
    in their courts. I have also contacted all the judges I could find
    online in Lake County FL. If you search Lake County on the email list
    I’ve attached you’ll see everyone on the list in Lake County who will
    get a copy of this email. I have sent this to all the cabinet
    members of the President Trump admiration including the President
    himself. I’ve sent this basic information to everyone on the email
    list I’ve included so the entire music industry at this point in the
    United States and Europe should be aware of the murder by now.

    This puts the government in a very bad position. They can either
    charge Ozzy Osbourne and my father John Gilbert Huebel as well as
    everyone else involved with the murder of Randy Rhoads and deal with
    the international media exposing the fact that the Family had him
    murdered and the sick reasons for it including the sexual abuse I was
    subjected to and why or The Lake County Government and Courts and the
    Federal Government can try and cover it up and get caught in the
    process. In the end it’s all coming out anyway.

    The Family began running sexual entrapment schemes and trying to frame
    me a lot of this happened in Portland Oregon. In 1999 five girls where
    raped and murdered to try and frame me. To find out about this google
    Forest Park Murders. My father was also involved in these murders as
    well.

    I could go on and on about the many attempts using drugs and other
    means trying to entrap and frame me for sexual assault. The history
    literally spans decades.

    My sister Margret Williams was murdered in 1996 by them in Spokane
    Washington. I would talk about the motive for her murder but its too
    twisted for me to want to go into, ask my father, he’ll tell you all
    about it He’s the sick son of a bitch who did it and murdered her to
    cover it up. I will say that my sister Simone was murdered in 2004 for
    very similar reasons. Again my father was involved in these crimes.
    My friend Mary Weise was murdered in Boulder, Colorado on June 10th,
    the year was 2002 for filing a corroborating report to my report about
    the stalking as it was going on in Colorado. The overall issue was
    treason. It’s discussed in my treason affidavit I’ve sent along with
    this email. The family was involved though I didn’t know it at the
    time. Our house was bugged so they knew everything going on in there.
    In 2004 my sister Simone was murdered in Spokane Washington by the
    family. My nephew was murdered in Spokane, Washington. It was in 2004
    because I was offered a 3.2 million dollar bribe by Dr. James Dobson
    and I refused it because I suspected then which I know now that Mary
    had been murdered over this. I have later found out that there are
    hundreds of people who have been murdered over the situation. Most of
    the murders happened after the Period of activity in 2004 in Portland
    Oregon. Unfortunately for my nephew Jonathan-Taylor Huebel my brother
    Nathan Huebel actually murdered him and his mother my sister Elizabeth
    Branham and his step father Paul Branham where also involved. People
    who were supposed to love him where involved in his murder because
    they were paid money for it and given more murder contracts. I put
    together a 64 page affidavit outlining the case against the case
    against the family for treason. I repeatedly tried to get Lt. Larry
    Graham to file the report and finally sent a notarized copy via
    registered mail and he filed it but when I checked later I found that
    details had been changed and some of the incidences had been taken out
    completely. While I was in treatment for substance abuse in June 2014
    someone got into my apartment and switched all of my digital copy with
    the corrupted report. The Family is also guilty of treason, creating
    and distributing Aids, 911, Oklahoma City bombing, Boston Marathon
    bombing and Sandy Hook terrorist attacks.

    Ozzy Osbourne and my father John Gilbert Huebel needs to stand trial
    for the murder of Randy Rhoads in Leesburg Florida.

    Greetings. Thank you for this most honorable article on the Freeman.
    Ya see, I’m a proud daughter of one of them. Thankfully, though, my dad was not there the morning of the raid. He had some heifers calving and wasn’t able to be there that morning but was planning on leaving mid-morning to Jordan. He got the phone call, “Don’t come Dick… it WAS a set up!” And one knows the rest of the events.
    Recently, Dad and I were discussing these days of being part of the Freeman group, and Dad stated this: “You know, I didn’t read the Bible or know scripture until I became a Freeman. But Leroy opened every meeting with scripture and prayer. Leroy was an upstanding highly intelligent man of God, and I know our dear friend is heaven watching everything unfold and come crashing down on these evil people/Satan’s minions.”
    Nevertheless, I must admit, being the daughter of a Freeman was hard especially at my young and immature age. Let’s just say I didn’t see or understand the bigger picture. All I saw was my dad bloodied and bruised for not “complying” to the law, for being arrested and thrown in jail for not “complying” to their law. And, to top it off, in the end, they stole everything he had: ranch, cattle, and what dignity he had left.
    But here is what this ol’ Montana girl has to say today: I am proud to be a daughter of a man that was willing to stand up and fight not only for his freedom and rights but for ALL of Americans freedom and rights. Yes, they were 25/26 years too early BUT GOD sees all, knows all. These men WILL BE honored and recompensed for their fight for our freedoms and sacrifice.
    Besides Leroy, there are other Freeman that have passed through the gates of heaven; they too, with Leroy, will be witnessing one of the greatest events in history when God’s vengeance is released.
    Dad has been blessed with keeping in touch with his fellow comrades since their release from the prison gates.
    May God Bless each and every one of you. Keep the faith. The Great Exodus is coming! 🙌
