This article is not about the Bundy case itself: it is about something else, not unrelated, of course, which is pointed up by some of the evidence which has emerged from independent investigations of the Bundy case. There are other respected bloggers who have specialised on this subject and Medawar doesn't intend to duplicate their hard work or get into pointless arguments: readers can go to them directly.
That being said, anyone remotely interested in the Bundy case should view or read the source material referred to immediately below.
This is a link to a (slightly shakey, but bear with it) YouTube video of Washington State Representative Matt Shea reading from a document of "17-18" pages, which is based on an e-mail sent by Special Agent Larry Wooten to Andrew D. Goldsmith, Associate Deputy Attorney General.
In it, (at roughly time index 13:00 onwards) Mr Shea recounts Special Agent Wooten's claims that Former Special Agent in Charge Dan Love had a "Kill Book": a sort of trophy, containing details of cases where Love proudly claimed to have caused three people in Utah to commit suicide.
Here is a link to Mr Shea's source material, the communication from Special Agent Wooten. (It's a .pdf document). Medawar recommends that readers not only carefully read, but download this. (In this form the document is 16 pages, starting with page 2.) In the first paragraph on page 8 (according to the document's own numbering, page 7 as far as a .pdf reader is concerned), the "Kill Book" is mentioned.
Medawar would like readers to note that this document is not uncritical of Cliven Bundy and cannot fairly be represented as political propaganda in his cause, or an endorsement of his actions, which Special Agent Wooten believes probably broke several laws and risked an armed engagement which might well have cost innocent lives. It is implicit in Wooten's view, that Mr Bundy stubbornly acted in a way which actually completely played into the hands of SAC Dan Love and others shown by the document to be highly prejudiced, biased and unprofessional. Special Agent Wooten also implies that, given the grotesque and at times almost unbelievable bias and misconduct within the BLM's Office of Law Enforcement and Security, that had Mr Bundy recognised the Federal Government and legal system and used them properly, he would have been in a very strong position, because his opponents had mishandled and concealed evidence at every turn -and apparently continue to do so.
What actually matters most here:
The three people in Utah whom SAC Dan Love boasted of having driven to suicide, using (or misusing) his powers and position and the indulgent tolerance of his superiors for misconduct on his part. We know little about them, other than that Dan Love boasted of having caused their deaths in the course of his "work". There's no evidence for any of them being a confrontation artist who might be said to have engineered his own doom. They were US citizens, who for one reason or another came to the attention of Dan Love and the BLM, and they are dead.
It is apparent from the context that Dan Love hounded these people in precisely the way that the "targeted individual" community has long claimed that gang-stalkers or "organised stalkers" do. In doing this, from within a Federal Law Enforcement agency, Dan Love must have engaged in a conspiracy with his colleagues, both supervisors and subordinates, to deny these individuals their constitutional, civil and other rights. This is a Federal Felony: "Denial of Rights" under USC 18 Section 241. See also the single-most read article on this blog.
There should be a prompt and thorough criminal Federal investigation into Dan Love and his colleagues for at least three counts of this felony.
If one has the sense and the detachment to put the Bundy case itself to one side, for just a moment, it can be seen that Larry Wooten's document is exactly the organised stalking smoking gun that skeptics (including many active stalkers) have constantly claimed that stalking victims cannot produce. It is very, very important.
Readers who are still stalking skeptics should also read this article, and especially the update at the end giving details of two major official reports on failings on policing and prosecution of stalking cases in the UK. The reports, which are linked to, show numerous police forces and Crown Prosecutors effectively and wrongly adopting the positions and probably the arguments, too, of the skeptics, which, in Medawar's observation and experience, are largely (and generally unwittingly) informed by social media propaganda on the part of those taking part in stalking activity. That's before we even get into the issue of stalking being organised by law enforcement officers themselves, such as SAC Dan Love.
In the UK there is a term for low to middle-ranking officials abusing their power over ordinary people: "Little Hitler Syndrome". (High-ranking officials abusing their power is now generally known as "Blairism".) What Dan Love appears to have done is take Little Hitler Syndrome to its ultimate extreme.
