Oh, and fuck Okanogan county. If they got a problem with the Feds then too fucking bad, they made their choices on who to deal with and respect while treating us the way they did.

When Strat was losing status in the militia movement and being abandoned by most of his old crew, we were cutting fire brakes, trimming trees, cutting out underbrush and setting up water tanks to fight fires out on the mountain. Strat had distributed two way radios (which I paid for) for area fire watch, put a bunch of work into a bulldozer for clearing fire brakes and we constantly patrolled the mountain every fire season.

Two small crews from eastern Washington put in efforts on that and came up with fire hoses and water totes which we (mainly they) worked with Strat to pre-position on the hillsides so they should gravity feed water to hotspots around the Diaxaris project and keep roads open for firefighting vehicles should they need to get through the area to other properties up the road, including county owned timber land which we fully respected and protected for free. Those same guys were ambushed by looters after Strat got arrested and told by the looters that the looters were there with the blessings of the Jones family which was in the process of selling the Diaxaris project land out from under us.

Their reason for selling? A chemical waste disposal outfit wanted the land and was getting EPA approval to put some sort of open pit sewage pond in the field where a local rancher had previously been running cattle and growing hay.

We all know the story of what happened to Strat in 2015, and the constant hassle and interference I have had in the recovery of my property. In fact a lot of what is stuck out there was firefighting and disaster survival stuff since the Feds long since lost interest after not finding any dope lab or, stolen vehicle chop shop, militia bomb factory or whatever else they had been told to expect by the liars who wanted Strat and his wife in jail while they robbed us.
