The County Sheriff:The Ultimate Check & Balance
...who will stop criminal and out-of-control government from killing, abusing, violating, robbing, and destroying its own people? Yes, believe it or not, there is an answer to this one. The duty to stop such criminality lies with the county sheriff. The question needs to be posed to each and every sheriff of these United States; will you stand against tyranny?
... the state governments are actually and literally charged with controlling the federal government. To do so is "one of the Constitution's structural protections of liberty." (Emphasis added)
...when the state legislatures go along to get along and are bought off by political cronyism or the disbursement of federal funds, then the sheriff becomes the ultimate check and balance.

The Sheriff - More Power than the President

For many years, the people’s attention in the Battle for America has been directed toward the federal government and its offices. Candidates stand for the House and the Senate. Patriotic groups publish voting records of incumbents. Considerable time, effort and money are expended in support of candidates for President. After decades of such commendable activity, the record shows it is an utter failure. The danger to the nation is worse than it ever was.
For many of those years, Republicrud bosses whined that if the people would only give them control of the federal government, they would undo Democrud damage and restore Free Enterprise. Finally, the people gave it to them. Remember? The Republicruds controlled the House, the Senate and the Oval Office long enough to turn the country around. What happened? The Republicruds made our problems much worse. Their spending made the profligate drunken sailor look like Scrooge. They deserved it when the people kicked them out. They lost all credibility.
Yes, there is Dr. Ron Paul. But Dr. No is a political aberration. Time and again, he stands alone. He has neither men’s room problems nor woman problems. He doesn’t take congressional retirement. He actually returns “money” (computer entries) to the federal treasury. He proposes abolishing the Fed and the income tax and replacing them with nothing. In foreign affairs he suggests that we mind our own business. Imagine! But, again, he is an aberration.
Why? Certainly one reason has to be that we ship the successful congressional candidate off to the District of Corruption. However good the new congressman may have been when he or she boarded the plane to the District; he is subjected to intoxicating blandishments when he arrives in the enemy camp.
Soon, he succumbs to the blandishments, maybe even making himself blackmailable, and begins to vote as the party boss says, without even reading the bills. Instead of representing the people of his congressional district in the District of Criminals, he represents the D.C. to the C.D. He or she now is one of the boys or the girls. It has happened hundreds of times.
So, if the long, heroic effort to elect federal legislators has failed, does there remain any governmental Horatius who can stand in the gap; who can lead the Battle for America and restore the Constitution? There is. Lock and load, mount up and prepare for the return of the sheriff.
My guess is that in the minds of many Americans the sheriff is an antiquated figure who lives in the movies. In the older movies he is the hero; he is Gary Cooper in “High Noon,” awaiting the train that will bring killer Frank Miller back to town. In the new ones, he is the southern sheriff, even bigger than Rosie O’Donnell, sneering, sadistic, racist, violent, etc. He has no modern relevance.
But now here comes Sheriff Richard Mack, elected and re-elected in Graham County, Arizona, where he served for eight years. During his tenure, three federal agents came to a meeting of Arizona sheriffs and told them in certain terms how they would be dragooned as unpaid federal bureaucrats and administer the new, federal Brady gun registration law.
The law was named of course for Ronald Reagan’s press secretary, who was severely wounded in the immensely suspicious attempt to assassinate the President. Since then, Mrs. Brady has become a leader of the campaign for Nazi gun confiscation. I don’t know whether she was as crazy before the shootings as she is now. Just one more increment of lunacy and they would have to lock her up.
Richard Mack and the other Arizona sheriffs at the meeting rebelled. Sheriff Richard says the language he heard – in which he did not participate – could not be repeated in the presence of genteel Christian ladies, so we can’t tell you here what the sheriffs said. But Sheriff Mack did take the government to court. He sued the United States, and Sheriff Jay Printz of Montana joined him as plaintiff.
On June 27th, 1997, the sheriffs won; in Printz v. U.S. (521 U.S. 898) the U.S. Supreme Court struck Brady down. Associate Justice Antonin Scalia wrote the ruling for the Court, in which he explained our system of government at length. The justly revered system of checks and balances is the key:
“. . . The great innovation of this design was that ‘our citizens would have two political capacities, one state and one federal, each protected from incursion by the other’” – “a legal system unprecedented in form and design, establishing two orders of government, each with its own direct relationship, its own privity, its own set of mutual rights and obligations to the people who sustain it and are governed by it.” (P. 920)
Scalia quotes President James Madison, “father” of the Constitution: “[T]he local or municipal authorities form distinct and independent portions of the supremacy, no more subject, within their respective spheres, to the general authority than the general authority is subject to them, within its own sphere.” The Federalist, No. 39 at 245.
Again and again, Justice Scalia pounds the point home (page 921): “This separation of the two spheres is one of the Constitution’s structural protections of liberty: ‘Just as the separation and independence of the coordinate branches of the Federal Government serve to prevent the accumulation of excessive power in any one branch, a healthy balance of power between the States and the Federal Government will reduce the risk of tyranny and abuse from either front.’. . .” Gregory, 501 U.S. at 458.
He quotes President Madison again: “In the compound republic of America, the power surrendered by the people is first divided between two distinct governments, and then the portion allotted to each subdivided among distinct and separate departments. Hence a double security arises to the rights of the people. The different governments will control each other, at the same time that each will be controlled by itself.” (P. 922)
No one could make this any clearer. The primary purpose of the Fathers was to prevent someone from grabbing all the power. When that happens, they knew, the result is arbitrary, confiscatory, government, the kind Tom Jefferson described in the Declaration of Independence. We would call it totalitarian.
Madison explains: “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” Federalist No. 48, February 1, 1788.
To prevent that from happening, they divided the power. First, they divided the federal power into three parts: the executive, the legislative and the judicial. They would bicker among themselves, so that no one of them could seize all the power the Constitution grants to the federal government.
The Founders divided the power even more. They set the limited power the Constitution grants the “general authority,” Madison’s term for the federal government, against the vast residual powers of the states. Each sphere of government, state and federal, would be supreme in its own sphere. Neither could control the other. Each protects itself from intervention by the other. Each has its own laws and rules.
Madison says this: “Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of.” Loc. Cit.
What does all this mean today in the Battle for America? Sheriff Mack says it proves that the sheriff is the highest governmental authority in his county. Within that jurisdiction – inside his county – the sheriff has more power than the governor of his state. Indeed, the sheriff has more power in his county than the President of the United States. In his county, he can overrule the President and kick his people out. Remember, the President has few and limited powers.
What? The sheriff can do that? He’s not just a character in a movie? That’s right. Not only can the sheriff do that; sheriffs have already done that, more than once. Most Americans are not aware of that because lying, conspiracy scumbags like Rush Humbug, Shallow Sean Hannitwerp and Hugh Blewitt (a lawyer) etc., haven’t told them.
Remember, the office of sheriff has a pedigree so long, we are not positive about when it was created. We think it was in the Ninth Century in England. We do know that each land district, or “shire,” was governed by a “reeve.” The sheriff of Nottingham became famous. At first, the king appointed them. With few exceptions, our American shire reeves are elected by the people.
In 1997, in Nye County, Nevada, federal agents arrived to seize cattle that belonged to rancher Wayne Hage. The sheriff gave them a choice: skedaddle or be arrested. They skedaddled. The cows stayed where they were. Wyoming sheriffs have told federal agencies they must check with the respective sheriff before they serve any papers, make any arrests or confiscate any property.
In Idaho, a 74-year-old rancher shot an endangered gray wolf which had killed one of his calves. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service sent three armed agents to serve a warrant. Lemhi County Sheriff Brett Barslou said that was “inappropriate, heavy-handed and dangerously close to excessive force.” More than 500 people turned out for a rally in the small towns of Challis and Salmon to support the sheriff and the rancher and to tell the federal government to back off.
While Richard Mack was sheriff of Graham County, Arizona, a bridge washed out. Parents had to drive twenty six miles to get their kids to school half a mile across the river. But the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wouldn’t fix it. First they had to do an “environmental impact study,” to replace a bridge already there. They were in no hurry. The study would take a mere ten years.
The people’s suffering reached the board of supervisors. The board voted to dredge the river and fix the bridge. The feds warned that they would be fined $50,000 per day if they tried. The supervisors hesitated. Sheriff Mack promised them and the workers protection and pledged to call out a posse for the purpose if necessary. They built the bridge and the Corps of Engineers faded. The board never paid a dime.
So the long dormant spirit of America is reviving. The states are beginning to adopt Tenth Amendment resolutions, using powers they have always had. The people are restoring our long unbalanced constitutional system. There is something “blowin’ in the wind,” but it isn’t what Bob Dylan thought it was. Recently, Sheriff Mack addressed 570 people in Fredericksburg, Texas. He reports that the reception was “beyond fantastic.”
What can you do? For once we are not just complaining. There is a plan. I do not argue that you should forget about Congress. Not at all; if you see an opportunity there, take it. Always remember that right now it is run by people like Barney the Bugger of Taxachusetts, who will be elected by moronth in hith dithtrict until he dieth of AIDS.
Most of the time, when you approach your congressman, you come to complain. In the new crusade, you will approach your sheriff and tell him that he is not only handsome, charming and overwhelmingly masculine, but also that he has powers he may not be aware of. You have come to tell him what they are and to back him up. My guess is, when you tell him that, he will not kick you out.
Tell him you expect him to return the courtesy when the Nazis come from the District of Criminals to get the guns. Tell him you are ready in a minute to serve under his direction in a posse. He will not move to Washington and be corrupted. He will stay there with you. Show him the ten orders the Oath Keepers will not obey. The Oath Keepers are retired and active duty military and police. Their web site is oath-keepers.blogspot.com. The first order they promise to disobey is an order to disarm you.
Put him together with Sheriff Mack. You will find him at sheriffmack.com. His telephone numbers are 928 792-4340 and 928 792-3888. Bring the sheriff to your town to speak. He will explain all this. Invite your own sheriff. At the meeting I attended, the local sheriff and chief of police were there and loved what they heard. No one dislikes hearing how important he is.
What if your sheriff is stupid or a federal factotum? That is what you will find in many big cities. I once interviewed Los Angeles County Sheriff Peter Pitchess, who said no one should have a hand gun. I asked him how a five foot lady alone in bed could defend herself from a rapist. Realizing he was perilously close to making himself look even dumber than he did usually, Pitchess conceded she could have a long gun.
I brightened. A street sweeper isn’t really the best weapon for close quarters, but it would give the lady a chance. Unfortunately, Pitchess added the word, “unloaded.” I asked him what that five foot lady with an unloaded shotgun could do against a six foot rapist. A police captain sat beside Pitchess during the interview. His job was to extricate Peter from the jams he persisted on getting himself into. The police captain extruded a barrage of miasma. It was effective. I did not get an answer.
In such cases, says Sheriff Mack, move to a county where the sheriff is receptive. Many more will be. For instance, in Texas there are 254 counties. Each has a sheriff. If it is feasible to do so, run for sheriff yourself. Even your wife will be impressed when she sees you with a hog leg on your hip and a star on your vest. Imagine the intense joy of meeting IRS Communists or BATFE Nazis at the county line and denying them admission.
The Battle for America will be decided in your county at your front door. If you act now, later you will not need to “fill your hand.”

Why the Feds Want to Remove or Compromise the Office of the County Sheriff in the States
The Office of the Sheriff is oldest office in this country. It is older then the office of the President of the United States. The office of the Sheriff proceeds long before the Colonies back to the Magna Carta as an English Common law office. The office was called the Shire Reeve meaning the keeper of the county, the office of Sheriff has different duties varying from nation to nation.
In the United State, the county Sheriff is the most powerful office and the oldest office in the republic before the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution was ratified. The Sheriff has more power than the President of the United States and the State Governors. Neither the President or the Governor of the States can tell the Sheriff what to do that is illegal or unconstitutional. They are constitutional officers as an office in the State Constitutions. To remove the office of Sheriff in the several states requires repealing that part of the State Constitutions that makes the elected Peace officer a Constitutional officer.
Nationwide there is an effort to remove the office of Sheriff from the land. The States of Hawaii and Alaska do not have the office of Sheriff. Dade County Florida has no elected Sheriff. Recently,the State of Connecticut removed the county Sheriff by an act of the State Legislature. The State of Missouri keeps bringing bills forward trying to get rid of the Sheriff in the show me state. In the state of Delaware, they are making moves to remove the county Sheriff to the point the government has voted to reduce the Sheriff's salary and strip his lawful authority.
In Indiana, a Sheriff told the feds to back off with an Amish family selling raw milk. The Sheriffs out west have stood up to the US forest service blocking roads. A Federal Judge ruled in favor for the State of Wyoming that the Sheriffs are the chief law enforcement officer of the county when the BATF took them to court. Sheriff Richard Mack won the landmark decision Prinz Mack vs. Brady Bill that restored state's rights. This has the Feds upset that some Sheriffs are starting to stand up.
I have a feeling the Federal government is lobbying state legislators to remove the county sheriff from the states and replace the elected position with an elected Police chief that is not accountable to the people. They will do this offering Federal money to many cash strapped state with budget problems if, they eliminate the office of Sheriff.. This office is a thorn in the side of the tyrants in Washington.
The other way they can get county sheriffs to break to go along with the Federal government. DHS just purchased 450 million rounds of ammunition. This has caused problem for local law enforcement, who purchase bullets for training and for on duty. This has caused a shortage in ammunition where local police and Sheriffs cannot order ammunition for their staff. It has caused also the price of bullets to go up dramatically. They might have to go through DHS to get some ammunition. The Feds might do it with strings attached going along with tyranny or have an embedded person inside the departments to keep an eye on things making sure they comply with Homeland security.
Apart from the right to keep and bear arms to the County Sheriff, the people delegate the right to keep and bear arms to protect life liberty and property within there jurisdiction. The county Sheriff can keep the TSA off the streets and Federal agents from harassing people. Some sheriffs have woken up and are resisting incursions by these alphabet soup agencies. There are local elections going on nationwide with candidates running on a platform of keeping the Federal government in check when their presence is unlawful and unconstitutional.
This is why the Federal government wants to eliminate the office of county Sheriff that is accountable to the people. They want to replace the Sheriff with an unelected appointed police chief, who is a yes man, who is answerable to the bureaucrats and not to the people. If 40 percent of the Sheriffs say "no" to TSA in their counties groping people on the side of the road, if they say no to NDAA taking citizen away for no reason without charge. If they stand in the gap stopping gun confiscation by BATF using out of state law enforcement assets as it was done in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrinathey can stop the Feds. The country sheriffs in surrounding Perishes outside New Orleans caught FEMA cutting the communication lines of Police and Sheriffs. They threw FEMA out of the county and posted armed guards to protect the communication systems.
We musty protect the office of county sheriff from being taken away from us. Maybe not the corrupt sheriff himself; however, the office can be protected because it can be a stopgap between freedom and slavery. Know the truth; the county Sheriff is the most powerful man in the America. That truth scares the tyrants in Washington DC because if a good number of county Sheriffs stand up with an armed posse, it is over for the Globalist.

Neither the President or the Governor of the States can tell the Sheriff what to do that is illegal or unconstitutional. They are constitutional officers as an office in the State Constitutions. To remove the office of Sheriff in the several states requires repealing that part of the State Constitutions that makes the elected Peace officer a Constitutional officer.
Nationwide there is an effort to remove the office of Sheriff from the land. The States of Hawaii and Alaska do not have the office of Sheriff. Dade County Florida has no elected Sheriff. Recently,the State of Connecticut removed the county Sheriff by an act of the State Legislature. The State of Missouri keeps bringing bills forward trying to get rid of the Sheriff in the show me state. In the state of Delaware, they are making moves to remove the county Sheriff to the point the government has voted to reduce the Sheriff's salary and strip his lawful authority.
In Indiana, a Sheriff told the feds to back off with an Amish family selling raw milk. The Sheriffs out west have stood up to the US forest service blocking roads. A Federal Judge ruled in favor for the State of Wyoming that the Sheriffs are the chief law enforcement officer of the county when the BATF took them to court. Sheriff Richard Mack won the landmark decision Prinz Mack vs. Brady Bill that restored state's rights. This has the Feds upset that some Sheriffs are starting to stand up.
I have a feeling the Federal government is lobbying state legislators to remove the county sheriff from the states and replace the elected position with an elected Police chief that is not accountable to the people. They will do this offering Federal money to many cash strapped state with budget problems if, they eliminate the office of Sheriff.. This office is a thorn in the side of the tyrants in Washington.
The other way they can get county sheriffs to break to go along with the Federal government. DHS just purchased 450 million rounds of ammunition. This has caused problem for local law enforcement, who purchase bullets for training and for on duty. This has caused a shortage in ammunition where local police and Sheriffs cannot order ammunition for their staff. It has caused also the price of bullets to go up dramatically. They might have to go through DHS to get some ammunition. The Feds might do it with strings attached going along with tyranny or have an embedded person inside the departments to keep an eye on things making sure they comply with Homeland security.
Apart from the right to keep and bear arms to the County Sheriff, the people delegate the right to keep and bear arms to protect life liberty and property within there jurisdiction. The county Sheriff can keep the TSA off the streets and Federal agents from harassing people. Some sheriffs have woken up and are resisting incursions by these alphabet soup agencies. There are local elections going on nationwide with candidates running on a platform of keeping the Federal government in check when their presence is unlawful and unconstitutional.
This is why the Federal government wants to eliminate the office of county Sheriff that is accountable to the people. They want to replace the Sheriff with an unelected appointed police chief, who is a yes man, who is answerable to the bureaucrats and not to the people. If 40 percent of the Sheriffs say "no" to TSA in their counties groping people on the side of the road, if they say no to NDAA taking citizen away for no reason without charge. If they stand in the gap stopping gun confiscation by BATF using out of state law enforcement assets as it was done in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrinathey can stop the Feds. The country sheriffs in surrounding Perishes outside New Orleans caught FEMA cutting the communication lines of Police and Sheriffs. They threw FEMA out of the county and posted armed guards to protect the communication systems.
We musty protect the office of county sheriff from being taken away from us. Maybe not the corrupt sheriff himself; however, the office can be protected because it can be a stopgap between freedom and slavery. Know the truth; the county Sheriff is the most powerful man in the America. That truth scares the tyrants in Washington DC because if a good number of county Sheriffs stand up with an armed posse, it is over for the Globalist.
