Will There Be Justice for Darren Huff?

MORE THAN TWO YEARS IN PRISON FROM GOVERNMENT LIES
by Sharon Rondeau
In October 2011, Darren Wesley Huff was convicted of transporting
firearms for “interstate commerce” with the intent to “take over” the
Monroe County courthouse
(Jan. 8, 2014) — On January 30, 2014, at 9:00 a.m., a hearing will be held in the appeal of Darren Wesley Huff at the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, OH.
The court’s schedule of oral argument which includes January 30 will be posted on the 13th.
Huff
was sentenced in May 2012 to four years in federal prison for what
could be considered a “thought crime,” a term introduced in George
Orwell’s novel 1984,
in which supreme government power punished individuals for thoughts of
anger, resentment, protest or disobedience against its figurehead, “Big
Brother,” even if such actions were never carried out.
On April 20, 2010, Huff traveled to Madisonville, TN, the county seat of Monroe County, to attend a
court hearing for CDR Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III (Ret.), who on
April 1 had attempted to carry out a citizen’s arrest on Gary Pettway,
the Monroe County grand jury foreman. Pettway did not acquiesce to
Fitzpatrick’s demand that he turn himself in to authorities, and Judge
Carroll Lee Rossdirected sheriff’s deputies to arrest Fitzpatrick instead.
Fitzpatrick had uncovered deep corruption within
the Monroe County Criminal Court after discovering that Pettway had
been serving in his position for at least 20 years, later confirmed as
28 years. Huff was present at the citizen’s arrest and also charged
with several crimes by the county, eventually pleading “no contest.”
While the county claimed in indictments issued against both Huff and Fitzpatrick that Pettway was “a juror,” Tennessee Deputy Attorney General Kyle Hixson now claims that the foreman is not, and has never been, a juror in a discrepancy which has not been reconciled.
Eastern Tennessee is well-known for its endemic government corruption dating back decades and is ranked first in public corruption by some sources.
Huff had been stopped and
questioned on his way to Madisonville by Tennessee Highway Patrolmen
and, upon their suggestion, locked his legally-owned firearms in the
toolbox attached to the back of his pickup truck before proceeding into
town, a fact confirmed by the Knoxville News Sentinel.
Like many others, Huff was not permitted
to enter the courthouse to observe the hearing and therefore patronized a
restaurant across the street with an acquaintance, former Marine Sgt.
William Looman, who spent the rest of the day with Huff before parting
company that evening to return home.
Monroe County officials made no arrests,
despite the presence of between 100 and 200 local, state and federal law
enforcers, including a SWAT team and bomb-sniffing dogs, all of which
turned out to be unnecessary.
Ten days later, without provocation, Huff was arrested by federal authorities while driving through Knoxville, TN and charged with “carrying a firearm in interstate commerce with the intent to use it in a civil disorder” and a second firearms charge.
Of Huff’s arrest, News Sentinel reporter Jamie Satterfield wrote:
As it turned out, Fitzpatrick’s supporters were outnumbered by law
enforcement. They spent the day largely holed up at a Madisonville
diner, where Huff gave a speech. He wasn’t the only citizen armed that
day, but he was the only one captured on law enforcement video bragging
about the weaponry, including an AK-47 assault rifle, he had in his
truck and the only person charged federally.
An affidavit provided
by Looman stated that Huff was not armed while in Madisonville, as his
arms remained locked in the toolbox. In response to Satterfield’s
report, an eyewitness present in Madisonville that day told her, “We
stood outside the actual venue, which was the court house annex
(trailer), speaking with Fitzpatrick, and the LEO, in the rain. The
cross section of people was old veterans, a family from Arkansas and
other miscellaneous unarmed and non-violent citizens. The only weapons
in evidence were the SWAT team snipers on the roof tops overlooking the
trailer (courtroom).”
Satterfield quoted prosecutor Will Mackie
as having said, “It is clear there was a substantial likelihood that
the use of (guns) would have substantially increased the likelihood of
death or injury in the circumstances of this case.” Another mainstream
publication reported that
“Huff and others were involved in the takeover in support of a local
activist’s earlier unsuccessful attempt to arrest the Monroe County
grand jury foreman, also over Obama’s citizenship,” quoting Mackie.
However, no “others” were identified or arrested at any time.
The same eyewitness also told
Satterfield, “No one who stood outside the [courthouse] trailer was put
on the stand to testify that there was no riot or intent for one.”
Ideological supporters of the Obama regime often quote the SPLC in their forums. One of them, William L. Bryan of The Fogbow, made an apparent admission that he had called in reports to then-Madisonville Mayor Alan Watson that Huff and Fitzpatrick had planned to
“take over the courthouse” by violence. Fitzpatrick has confirmed that
another Fogbow member sent Monroe County Criminal Court Chief Clerk
Martha M. Cook flowers as a gesture of appreciation for her cooperation
with the plot to incriminate Huff and Fitzpatrick in the dragnet.
Bryan is reportedly working as an insurance professional, or navigator, for the Obamacare effort. Other cabal members continue to disseminate propaganda about Huff and Fitzpatrick.
In
response to Satterfield’s contention that “Prosecutors Mackie and Jeff
Theodore alleged Huff told others he intended an armed takeover of the
courthouse and was only thwarted by the massive police presence . . .”
the eyewitness told her, “These were the statements of William L. Bryan,
AKA, FOGBOW, AKA P. J. Foggy. Bryan never appeared at trial to give
testimony or be cross examined.”
The day of Huff’s sentencing, WBIR TV reported that
“The attempted takeover never actually materialized,” although
mischaracterizing the reason for the attempted citizen’s arrest of
Pettway.
The Southern Povery Law Center (SPLC), which acts as an adviser to the Obama regime, erroneously reported that
Fitzpatrick was “a leader of the far-right American Grand Jury
movement” and conducted the citizen’s arrest in that capacity and that
Huff had planned “an armed takeover” of the Monroe County courthouse for
April 20.
In 2011, the state of Tennessee released a training program terming Huff and Fitzpatrick “sovereign citizens,”
a term also used by the SPLC. The training program was placed into use
the summer prior to Huff’s federal trial in October 2011.
Huff told The Post & Email that he
was misquoted in media reports and spoke of “taking back” the grand
juries and courts for the people, not “taking them over.”
Tennessee mainstream media reported that
the law which Huff was convicted of violating ”has never been applied
in the federal Eastern District of Tennessee in modern times and, if
case law is an indication, rarely, if ever, nationwide in recent
history.” The “eight or nine other
militia groups” referenced in an affidavit signed by FBI Special Agent
Mark Van Balen was a false claim. In the affidavit, Van Balen indicated
that he was not an eyewitness to the events in Madisonville, but rather,
relied on others’ reports and perceptions.
Over
the last several years, Fitzpatrick has contacted numerous eyewitnesses
of the April 20 event, some of whom traveled to Madisonville from out
of state. A dozen have provided sworn, signed affidavits that no one
was seen carrying a gun that day in the vicinity of the courthouse and
proof that Huff was not located where the FBI claimed he was on April 20, 2010.
The U.S. Department of Justice refused to release any documentation pertaining to the event, which Fitzpatrick has termed “the Madisonville Hoax,” citing “privacy” concerns.
Fitzpatrick
was present at Huff’s trial but not called upon to testify. He has
attempted on many occasions to submit exculpatory evidence in Huff’s
case to two federal grand juries in Knoxville, but U.S. Attorney William
C. Killian and U.S District Court Judge Thomas Varlan, both of whom
played a part in Huff’s current incarceration, have denied Fitzpatrick
access.
Huff and Fitzpatrick are Navy veterans. Since their cases arose, other military veterans have reported false arrests, intimidation, threats, IRS harassment and incarceration for voicing their opposition to Obama’s policies in moves described as “Orwellian.”
In
February 2012, Fitzpatrick learned that his military pension had been
garnished by two-thirds without explanation, leaving him without enough
funds to meet his daily needs. A member of The Fogbow works as an
attorney at the IRS.
On November 22, 2013, The Post & Email received an unsolicited email from
an apparent Obama supporter which claimed involvement in the
incarcerations of Huff and Fitzpatrick. A second email indicated that
the sender and his alleged cohorts would do “anything” to maintain Obama
in office.
Contrary to various reports, Huff did not take issue with
whether or not Barack Obama is constitutionally eligible to hold the
office of president, although a 28-month criminal investigation has
concluded that Obama’s long-form birth certificate and Selective Service
registration form are “computer-generated forgeries.” Additional
“universe-shattering” information pertaining to the investigation, which
has broadened beyond Obama’s known documentation, is expected to be
released in March.
Public
officials who testified at Huff’s trial have since been accused
themselves of criminal misconduct, including Tennessee’s Tenth Judicial
District chief prosecutor, R. Steven Bebb, who may be removed from his
post by the Tennessee General Assembly this session. Ross has announced
his retirement in August after a case over
which he presided was reversed because Ross had denied the defendant
his constitutional right to counsel. Assistant prosecutor Paul D. Rush
has been cited for ethics violations by the Tennessee Board of
Professional Responsibility.
Judge Amy Reedy, who was accused by Fitzpatrick of hand-picking jurors in December 2011, will be facing Fitzpatrick’s defense attorney, Van Irion,
in the upcoming November election. Several weeks ago, the senior
public defender for the Tenth Judicial District, Richard Hughes,
provided The Post & Email with an interview.
After Fitzpatrick was vilified in
the media for having brought a complaint of treason to the Monroe
County grand jury in September 2009 against Obama, many others now
question Obama’s motives, leadership, honesty, “transparency,” whether
or not he was raised as an American, and labeled him a traitor against the United States. Various members of Congress have filed lawsuits and threatened impeachment for what they allege is a violation of law and the U.S. Constitution, which Obama took an oath to uphold.
A source close to the criminal investigation of Obama’s documents reported in December that “prosecutions are coming.”
