Editors Note:
This the Opinion of the WIBR/WARN Radio Editorial staff and not to be construed as any other. In plain and simple language, the Editor has seen good American people destroyed by this Government over the years. For a free nation, we have more in our prisons than any other nation or so I believe from the reports! Nonetheless, whether we do or not, the case for individual rights and liberties are brought to nothing when this government believes you are violating one of its many laws, which, it passes by dark regulators in dark corridors in the dark of night, in the darkened part of Washington where no light is!
The public for the most part have no clue at all the trouble with the events concerning the following: Randy Weaver, Waco, Ed and Lorraine Brown, and others; that have met with the heavy Black booted tactics of our Government against its own citizens. There seems to be no more friendly helpful police, it has become an era of those in Law who are the New World enforcers for those in our Government.
Make sure that this attitude will come back to each of you in this nation and you will one day understand the violations of rights of citizens in this nation. From the Government’s standpoint this seems to be not about law and order, but ‘how dare they’. There is no other reason than this for these enforcers to bring in Tanks, sharp shooters, snipers, bombs, bullets, and the whole army of police for a few of its citizens. They want to stamp it out! But on their part, this evil will be met directly by more who will meet their aggressiveness with the same brute force. I do not condone violence but the government is bringing it on themselves. It won’t come from my quarter, but one day, it will be met by the same force. It is about total control and to bring the population under control, as in many scenarios, the people are the last to see it coming! But it will! To a Neighborhood near to you!

CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE: Acting United States Attorney Michael J. Gunnison and United States Marshal Stephen Monier announced that a federal jury convicted Edward Brown and Elaine Brown of Plainfield, NH on the following obstruction and weapons-related charges following a 7-day trial:
• conspiracy to prevent by force, intimidation or threats officers of the United States from discharging their duties in carrying out the arrests of Edward Brown and Elaine Brown (Count One);
• conspiracy to forcibly resist and impede federal law enforcement officers in the discharge of their duties in carrying out the arrests of Edward Brown and Elaine Brown by means including the use of dangerous and deadly weapons (Count Two);
• carrying and possessing firearms and destructive devices in connection with and in furtherance of crimes of violence (Counts Three, Four);
• possession of firearms after having been convicted of a felony (Counts Five, Six);
• obstruction of justice (Counts Seven, Eight);
• failure to appear for trial (Count Nine – Edward Brown only);
• failure to appear for sentencing in April 2007 following their convictions on tax and other charges in U.S. District Court in January 2007 (Counts Ten, Eleven).
U.S. District Judge George Z. Singal scheduled a sentencing hearing for September 3, 2009.
On January 21, 2009, a federal grand jury indicted Edward and Elaine Brown on multiple obstruction and weapons-related charges. The indictment alleged criminal conduct which began in January 2007 during the
Browns’ federal criminal trial on tax and other financial charges. The indictment detailed how the Browns obstructed justice, conspired to forcibly resist arrest, and possessed firearms and destructive devices at their heavily-fortified compound in Plainfield, NH until an undercover team of Deputy U.S. Marshals arrested them at their home on October 4, 2007.
The evidence at trial included testimony of officials including the United States Marshal and Deputy United States Marshals who participated in the effort to take Edward and Elaine Brown into custody after Edward Brown failed to appear for his January 2007 trial, and after both Edward and Elaine Brown violated their bail conditions and failed to appear in Court for their sentencing hearings on April 24, 2007. The Browns were each sentenced in absentia on that date to 63 months in prison on the financial charges.
During the during the Summer and Fall of 2007, the Browns remained at their Plainfield compound, where they received supporters, issued militant and threatening statements, and stockpiled weapons and explosives until their October arrest. As detailed at trial, these included pipe bombs, improvised explosive devices made of gun powder cans with nails and screws taped to the outside, and a large assortment of handguns and rifles, including extremely powerful .50 caliber rifles.
Some of the Browns’ supporters were also charged with weapons offenses and other charges relating to the standoff at the Plainfield compound. Jason Gerhard of Brookhaven, New York and Daniel Riley of Cohoes New York were convicted of charges including using and possessing a firearm and a destructive device in connection with a crime of violence. Gerhard was sentenced to a prison term of 20 years, and Riley to a prison term of 36 years. Additionally, Cirino Gonzalez of Alice, Texas was convicted of conspiring to forcibly interfere with the U.S. Marshals Service’s efforts to arrest the Browns, and was sentenced to 8 years in prison.
Each of the charges on which the Browns were convicted today carry the following maximum penalties: Count One – 6 years; Count Two- 8 years; Counts Three and Four – life [mandatory 30 years minimum] ; Counts Five and Six – 10 years; Counts Seven and Eight – 10 years; Count Nine – 5 years; Counts Ten and Eleven – 5 years.
Commenting on the verdict, Acting U.S. Attorney Michael J. Gunnison stated: “Today’s verdict affirms that no one is above the law. By rejecting the rule of law, and substituting a personal code involving weapons, explosives and threats, the defendants committed increasingly serious crimes. Their conduct has no place in a civil society, and the jury’s verdict brings the prosecution to an appropriate end. I would like to commend the trial team on a job well done, and thank all of the federal, state and local law enforcement officials who met each challenge during the investigation with patience and professionalism, and without incident.”
United States Marshal Stephen Monier said, “The United States Marshals Service is pleased with today’s verdict. Significant resources were dedicated to bringing a peaceful end to a serious – and potentially explosive – stand-off with Ed and Elaine Brown and their co-conspirators. We are grateful that no law enforcement officer, member of the public, or the Browns were harmed. I am proud of the brave members of the undercover team who took the Browns into custody, our leadership team, Deputy U.S. Marshals, and the many federal, state, and local law enforcement officers who assisted us during this difficult operation.”
“On behalf of the men and women of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF), Boston Field Division, I would like to congratulate the U.S. Attorney’s Office on today’s verdict,” stated Special Agent In Charge Glenn Anderson. “Reducing violent crime and protecting the public are part of ATF’s mission. We will continue to work alongside our law enforcement partners to do just that. I am proud of the contributions ATF made in this investigation and I would like to thank the other law enforcement agencies for all their hard work.”
This case was investigated by the United States Marshals Service with substantial assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives, the Internal Revenue Service, the New Hampshire State Police, the Plainfield, NH Police Department, Lebanon, NH Police Department, and the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Arnold H. Huftalen and Terry Ollila.
