North Western Coalition of Land Owners


November News Letter


Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone! The North western Coalition of Land Owners really do have a lot to be thankful for
and about this year. All good things are coming to us. So, without further ado, let’s get straight to the good news!1. All of
the updated information and facts about the situation concerning our water and how the corrupt county of Yavapai is
trying to steal the very water beneath our feet, has been consolidated into a voluminous water package and sent off to
our Washington, D.C. lawyer. He has stated in the past that he is representing the Navajo tribe in their water disputes,
and would be happy to piggy back our claims onto theirs, free of charge, I might add. Word has filtered down to the top
coalition members that powerful pressure is being exerted onto the Navajo tribe to capitulate and knuckle under to
accept an inadequate settlement. Perhaps the addition of our package into the legal fray will help strengthen their
conviction to continue the fight towards complete victory! Anyway, now we have some serious clout behind our water
rights claim.
2. Rumors have slowly filtered down to the coalition as well about certain events now scheduled to go down concerning
the city of Williams and the park and casino. Word has it that a tremendous land grab effort is slated to begin on
January 1st, 2009. All of the land existing between Williams and Ash Fork will seemingly be up for the taking. This is all
in an attempt to alleviate the problems associated with the park and the casino, concerning future land for development
and the water beneath to support the development. Rumor says that 10s of millions of dollars are behind the movement.
The good news is that those people who listened to the coalition and acted upon our advice to get their land patents,
are safe. Those land patents cannot be violated in any way, shape, or form. The bad news is that those people who
failed to heed our advice and did not get their land patents, are doomed. Their land will be taken from them. Whether
they receive just compensation for their land is questionable. Even if they applied for their land patent today, it may be
too late. I suggest that be a wake up call, and a warning signal to those of you living elsewhere that still have not applied
for your land patent.
3. The well drawn up paperwork for Jessie has been completed and turned into and accepted by the court of Judge
Blaylock in Seligman. Jessie’s pre-trial hearing is scheduled for November 26th. Due to the many fraudulent activities of
those involved in persecuting Jessie, we have asked the Judge to grant our motion to void these proceedings. This
motion is not a critique on Jessie’ case, nor has it anything to do with land patents, but is a critical analysis of the
counties illegal practices and the court’s fallacies and flaws. We sincerely hope and believe this will put an end to the
harassment Jessie has been receiving at the hands of Yavapai county’s Nazi-type officials. 4. The extremely good news
is that two recent court rulings in favor of the unassailable rights of land patents have been set forth in law. These
strong words have strengthened the land patent movements immeasurably. The ruling justices of the United States
Court of Federal Claims have, with their strong words, made a quantum leap forward in the rights of land owners. Allow
me to quote the case of Hage vs. the United States, filed June 6, 2008:
“The notion of private property is fundamental to the existence of our nation. It is a fundamental duty of government to
protect, rather than destroy, personal property. ([w]henever the legislators endeavor to take away, and destroy the
Property of the People…they put themselves into a state of War with the People, who are there upon absolved from any
further obedience.) The Founders of our Nation envisioned personal property as a fundamental right. It is part of the
trinity of values underlying our reverence for “life, liberty, and property.” These three ideas are all aspects of the
fundamental integrity of each person. As the Supreme Court has stated, “[p]property does not have rights. People have
rights. The right to enjoy property without unlawful deprivation, no less than the right to speak or the right to travel, is in
truth, a ’personal’ right.”The second ruling coming down from the United States Court of Federal Claims is equally as
strong, if not stronger.
In the decision of Beres vs. the United States, March 16, 2005:“A Federal land patent “is intended to quiet title to and
secure the enjoyment of the land for the patentees and their successors.” Therefore, a patent which is “regular in form
and for whose issuance there is statutory authority is so binding on the Government that a purchaser from the patentee
need make no investigation as to the details of its issuance the legal title has passed and the patent is conclusive
against the Government. The [Government] loses its jurisdiction over the land as soon as a valid patent is issued.“
Furthermore, [A] patent to land, issued by the United States under authority of law, is the highest evidence of title,
something upon which its holder can rely for peace and security in his possession. It is conclusive evidence of title
against the United States and all the world, until cancelled or modified by an action brought for this purpose.”“As the
United States Supreme Court has stated, “When a patent issues in accordance with governing statues, all title and
control of the land passes from the United States.” Thus, the United States Supreme Court recognizes the sanctity of
land transfers, and has expressed reluctance to interfere with land rights in which no reservations were present when
conferred, stating that, “Generations of land patents have issued without any express reservation of the right now
claimed by the Government….This court has traditionally recognized the special need for certainty and predictability
where land titles are concerned, and we are unwilling to upset settled expectations to accommodate some ill defined
power to construct public thoroughfares without compensation.
For those of you who were doubting what the North Western Coalition of Land Owners president was telling you, or for
those of you who were straddling the fence, who were not convinced of the unalienable right of our position, let the
above rulings quell all doubts. Both ruling justices have validated everything the coalition founders have said. Get off
the fence, and get your land patents before it is too late!5. Our next scheduled project is to reinstate the Arizona
Rangers High Chaparral company and to immediately move forward to establishing our company. It turns out that we
have strong federal backing to get this done. We have commenced our probationary period and our company’s officers
will attend our first meeting in Flagstaff, Thursday, December 4th. For those of you interested in joing our company of
Arizona Rangers and have not received an application, you may pick up an application at The Eagles Path (see Liz), or
from Greg Neidenmeyer or Al Crawford. Our Company will not be a “dog and Pony Show Company” or Glorified security
guards, this will be a true, local, volunteer police force. We will safeguard our lands!6. Finally, while we are on the verge
of a great victory against our oppressive and fraudulent county officials, it seems the enthusiasm from some people has
been waning a bit. Get up off your butts once a month and start attending the monthly meetings. Be part of our
inevitable victory, and be proud of what we have all accomplished!
