Jeff Davis Interviews Republic Of Texas Richard Keyes [VAPgqoI0qeQ]

00:00 Hello folks this is Jeff Davis with the legendary Jeff Davis show from Central Texas USA and I love my Kansan archives. Peace out. We're gonna bring up Richard Keyes, Republic of Texas citizen who was in the Fort Davis standoff last May of 1997 his buddy Michael Madsen was shot and murdered by the dps Welcome to the Jeff Davis Show, Brigadier General. Thank you sir. Good to see you again. Looking good as always! Let's bring Richard up and see how this works now. Can we bring Richard up? Richard! Yes? Can you hear me sir? Yes I can.

00:55 This is going good. We keep everything crossed at this end too. Ok, Richard Keyes let me just briefly introduce you You were one of the seven members inside the embassy last May 1997 when the enemies moved in on your domain And now you're basically a POW in this movement. Yeah, to be specific I was an officer in the Embassy Guard and an officer in the Corps of Engineers during the embassy siege from April 27th through May 3rd 1997. Okay go ahead Richard I want you just let you go ahead and make an opening statement sir if you will

01:39 uh... and uh... the first off thank you for calling on the jeff davis show well i appreciate your guys having me and we hope to have work mcclaren conan here in a about thirty five minutes or so but go ahead make an opening statement richard if u will well others not really are a whole lot of new information that he had to from uh... from what i've been hearing you guys at batman bringing up so far uh... essentially the situation is that um Judge Kenneth Dehart of the 394th Judicial District Court out here in West Texas and District Attorney Albert Valadez from the Fort Stockton area are basically

02:23 They have no respect for the law, they have no respect for the people of Texas and they're abusing their official office by running at taxpayer expense a state-sponsored kidnapping operation to harass and intimidate people who don't... you know, their political beliefs don't meet with theirs. Okay, you know Gene Ritter right? Yes I do. What can you say Rich? Not a whole lot! They've got what they've got out here is a nice brother-in-law outfit going on They all run together they all know each other are drinking buddies they're all involved in the land fraud Anyone that causes any trouble in the county they've got Sheriff Steve Bailey to be the muscle man come in and harass intimidate threaten and arrest throw him in jail

03:13 They make money from throwing folks in jail the way that Austin police make money generating revenue on the highways here writing traffic tickets, right? There's not that much traffic out there So they go to arrest folks and throw them in there get a few hundred bucks throw them out And just it's a it's a big revolving door. Well, you know all their all in its gather That statement could not be more correct Where I'm at right now in the Presidio County Jail with Martha uh... depending on who you talk to and whose figures you're using. The jail here makes anywhere from thirty to fifty dollars per person, per day for every inmate they have in this jail

03:50 So obviously it would be good business to have a lot of folks in jail then. Well, you know the funny thing is at this point in time I believe our maximum capacity here is 100 inmates and at this point in time Sergeant Paulson made a comment to me about our capacity being at 130 right now Let me ask you a question, Richard. How's the trial moving along? Well essentially there is no trial. There are no proceedings and nothing right now. Around January 22nd... The Paulsons were scheduled to go to trial on January 26th in Fort Stockton

04:33 We believe somewhere around January 22nd, one of the assistant district attorneys a guy by the name of James D. Jebson filed a motion for continuance in the Paulson's case This motion was approved in a secret court hearing held between Assistant DA Jebson and Judge Dehart. This court hearing was held over the telephone, and defense attorneys had no idea what was going on until after the motion was already approved by Judge Dehart

05:15 But the most interesting part is section two of this motion, which reads the state cannot proceed to trial in the above numbered cause referring to cause number 662. The State of Texas versus Greg Paulson because of the state's inability to prove a conspiracy involving defendants Richard Lance McLaurin and Robert Odoh Let me just clarify something. For the people that are looking at the screen, Richard, Mr. Keyes there is on your left and Greg Paulson is on your right They're both POW's of the state of Texas But did you have a specific question? Now Richard in other words they're saying they don't have enough evidence to carry the Paulsons to trial

06:08 And yet they've convicted McLaren and Richard Otto on basically the same charges. Well, yeah, if I'm reading this correctly here... Very good! ...and you know if we have any university professors out there that'd like to translate this into Greek for us so that we could understand it better? But as I read this here, the state cannot proceed to trial against Greg Paulson because they can't prove a conspiracy involving Richard Lance McLaren and Robert Odo. Question is, exactly what were Richard McCarran and Whitey Goloto convicted on last fall in Alpine Texas? Is the state now admitting those convictions were fraudulent and is the state admitting they never had a case against us on these charges to begin with.

06:59 Oh, good point. Good point. Let me explain what's going on behind the scenes here I'm not completely up on all of the legal work that Richard McLaurin was doing while he was here in the Presidio County Jail because of my late arrival on scene The state didn't get around to picking me up until September 19th last year But in any case, Judge Dehart and District Attorney Valadez took a very big chance the way I see it by bringing McLaurin and White Eagle into court. Guessing as they did correctly that McLaurin would refuse to participate in this proceedings because he's not a citizen of the state of Texas or of The United States Incorporated

07:46 However, Greg Paulson has stated in the past and has asserted that the minute he walks into court he will bring up the political issue of The Republic Of Texas in front of a jury. Judge Dehart and District Attorney Valadez know that they cannot win if Greg Paulson brings up the political issue. That is my suspicion as to why they're dragging their feet on the rest of our cases." Yeah, well they can't... They know that they're whipped on a political issue and all they can do is try and tell more lies which the public is beginning to get tired of.

08:28 I mean, look at what's going on with Wilhelm von Schlickmeister. Oh boy! And that runs everywhere. Yeah it sounds like you had a little trouble seeing that there Well you know it gets kind of tough talking about the guy when he's supposed to be the leader of the free world He is such a despicable character and yet so many people seem to just love him oh he feels my pain go feel it somewhere else Well, the bottom line is that the issue of the Republic of Texas is not a criminal issue. It's a political issue. Right and what we've got now you see is something from George Orwell's 1984 where anyone with any sort of dissenting thought is suddenly dangerous to the state and they're going to start rounding you up Yeah that's a question I want to ask Richard Uh huh? I think I interviewed on 95-9 FM Oh yes so remember that Okay

09:24 And you basically stated that there were several current members, that it's kind of a halfway Republic of Texas sweep. You mentioned Carolyn Carney or somebody has out in San Antonio? Is she actually in jail right now? That I can't say for sure. She's been convicted but whether she is in jail or out on bond awaiting appeal...I don't know. Convicted for what? I mean this was an old lady. Now Richard, first off let me say to you that my heart's out with you my friend. I know that you are political prisoners and I don't care what the media says for a hundred years or thousand times per day. We're in war here but you are just POWs so on that line how is your spirit here?

10:20 Tell you what the more information I received the better. I feel because the You know, the more I know that what I did was right and not wrong What's your opinion on this new world order that Bush talked about in the early 90s? Well Let me let me explain to you very very very briefly if I could what prompted me to originally come down to Texas Good old YouTube video Buddy and we got a new YouTube channel. It's Hanson archives H A N S O n and we got a new one coming out Waco archives Be sure to hit that subscribe button right now And if you'd like to write us

11:06 To help out with this project, she's going to throw the address up right now for you. Alright and if you'd like to call us 830-672-3089 Go ahead and tell them... Look at this little puppy Tell him subscribe Say subscribe I was living in Kansas before I moved to Texas, a small town called St. Mary's 30 miles west of the state capital Topeka. Basically I was putting in anywhere from 40-60 hour week

11:45 at the best possible job that I could find in the area and I was not making enough money to support myself with the same standard of living as I was experiencing if I decided to move out of my parents' house. The job I had was destroying my health, it was killing my spirit And my overriding desire was to go into business for myself. I had always seen the small independent businessman as the pillar of the community, the person who provided financial as well as political stability to the town he lived in and a well-respected leader

12:31 But it didn't matter what I looked at, whether it was service business or manufacturing. Whether it was digging ditches along the side of the highway. Every time I looked at going into business for myself, I was assaulted with impossible to understand IRS, EPA and OSHA regulations I was looking at the possibility of spending more time trying to defend myself against the government than I was actually being in business and making money. And, I was looking at the possibility of winding up in jail before I even opened my doors or whatever it was that I was going to do. That there for me is The New World Order in a nutshell

13:20 Well let me just say this, I for one Richard have about had my belly full of You know, just to get a car now. Uh-huh? You have to have insurance on it... uh-huh ...you have to get it inspected... you have to have the registration I mean what else do ya got? It's just for... Ya gotta jump through the hoops! Yeah, it's just... You gotta spread out the wazoo, you've got to be on someone's approved list, you name it, it just goes on and on and on Now in Texas I understand that you have to have a social security number too Yeah, to get your driver license. I just went round and round with them on that

13:57 You must submit your number, your papers please. Locally right now we're involved in a situation where we're trying to get... listen to this For the children's best interest, I don't know if you can watch the news where you're at. No TV. You've probably saw this though everything that this de facto government does it is always in the best interest of the kids always Right now they have got a system in place where the state gives local school districts money for attendance rewards And so, to become more aggressive in collection of those state rewards they're now sending truant officers out on your property. They just come out without notification 6-7-8 at night beating on your door with an armed constable

14:47 Asking you where your kid was in school. Why wasn't it your kid wasn't at school that day? And I bear in mind this is after you've already called the school and No, no, well now let's not know that's nothing I don't want to get into this issue with but the fact as you understand where we're coming from Oh, yes supposed to be the land of them The home of the whatever it is. You mean the land of the wimp and the home of the slave? Land of the sheep and the home of the slaves, I mean if there would have been 150 years ago some guy coming on somebody's property... An armed government agent at 8 o'clock a night beating on his door wanting to know where his kid was There'd have been a lynch mob in this country Yeah they would've run him out right where he belonged That's right

15:34 I've about had my belly full of it. And, and I can tell you brother we're fighting down here and this is the reason why first off I feel for you guys because I know your POWs Secondly somebody still got to carry the torch of liberty out here You know, under you guys' and people like yours names. And that's what we're doing right here. We appreciate that! I appreciate your...you know..I think you are making the ultimate sacrifice here for this. Well, let me tell you something. Before I came down here to Texas, you know, I was involved in the Patriot cause to varying degrees and I was constantly being reminded of political prisoners and prisoners of war just like I am now but it never really hit home

16:23 In fact, it never really hit home until I wound up behind bars. And you know if Governor Bush or any of his entourage is listening tonight you have just messed with one very very angry person." Once I get out of here, I am not going to rest until every single political prisoner in Texas and the United States of America is out. Because I know now what it's like to be sitting in jail when the state has no legal grounds to have arrested you in the first place." Just gets ya outta the way! You're a nuisance

16:58 exactly here you know that they've been all they do is generate revenue fine yet ticket yeah uh... hurry i stopped on the street delay and still throw your papers in by god did this isn't anything at all what this country was founded upon a far cry far cry away from it well i tell you what without waving any of my claims of lack of jurisdiction state district court are just file promotion or are probably motion for dismissal charges that might I have cited that the state is in violation of the May 3, 1997 ceasefire agreement. In change of venue orders signed for Richard McLaurin and White Eagle Odo on October 13th, 1997 and in change of venue orders for Greg and Karen Paulson signed by Judge Dehart on or about December 5th, 1997. Judge Dehart has determined that the embassy siege was a military type activity

17:56 If it was a military type activity, why are we being accused of a civilian crime and not a war crime? Well I got you on the phone Richard. What about the kidnapping charges they were basically thrown out right? Well in this motion for continuance the state admits that they do not have a case against us At the time that motion was filed and accepted by the court, there were rumors that we would be hauled before another grand jury this Friday February 6th and recharged slash re-indicted with burglary or burglary with intent to kidnap.

18:35 So basically the deal is here they can't get us on conspiracy charges so they're going to go after us for burglary charges. Yeah, and did McLaren get something worse than that? He got 99 years, thats pretty stiff for burglary uh... well you see i think he was uh... he was allegedly a convicted of organized criminal activity yeah and now they're getting they never had a case against us to begin with on those charges filing lanes against the world bank i guess that for it for four cram against filing lanes against criminals will make your credit that's it

19:14 Speaking out for freedom. You speak out for freedom, you're the worst kind of criminal because you bet your capable of higher level thinking skills You're capable of independent thought? You don't have to have Dan Blather come on at six o'clock on CBS and tell you how to think or how to feel You know it's just you won't follow the crowd if you're an independent thinker and that makes you the most dangerous thing in the world. To this new world order? Oh yeah, they want a bunch of sheep! So basically Richard, you know about this new world order then right? Uh yeah probably not near as much as I should but yes I am aware of it That's well that's the bottom line to all of this

19:51 My friend, that's ultimately what this is all about here. Well let me underscore that point for you there about McLaren's 99 year sentence Right next door to me is a guy who stabbed his pregnant girlfriend to death about three years ago He apparently was originally convicted of manslaughter. They now up that to second-degree murder, I do believe and of course he's quite interested in what other people who have been convicted of murder have been sentenced too And what he spent hearing and picking up on is the other people who have been convicted of murder are getting anywhere from five to thirty years in Texas Yeah Now this gal they're gonna execute Korshta. They're gonna execute her because she used a pickax

20:39 and she stabbed this gal 30 or 40 times with it, you know. So that's kind of hyenas but ordinary run-of-the-mill murder. Yeah Jeff and I go out here at night and we shoot some guy in the corner yeah we're out in five ten years big guy yeah no problem yeah your bond will probably be set at what? A hundred thousandth to most there you go a couple other things too I want to point out quickly Richard because I know you're limited time here I appreciate you calling in first off these The standoff, was that tough for you? You were in there what eight days? Yeah it was from April 27th to May 3rd. I think that was about seven days. And you had everything you needed in there food and water and everything? Basically yeah What was the atmosphere... Now you escaped out of the back with Mike Madsen who the enemy murdered they murdered him Uh-huh What's your

21:35 What was your dealings after you got out of the embassy? Excuse me. What were you doing after you got out, are you trying to just get out of there or because you knew these people were coming after you right? Well uh...the day after they killed Mike Matson I think they got him on May 5th Monday morning or Monday afternoon may 5th The day after they killed Mike Matson all pursuit vanished Tuesday morning, May 6th there was one lone fixed-wing aircraft looking for me and after that was gone midmorning all pursuit just up and completely vanished. But from May 3rd to May 5th yeah it was very rough going we were basically running ahead of 400 armed men and dogs And at the same time we were trying to hide from three low flying helicopters and two airplanes

22:29 What's your feelings on how this is going to work out for you? Well, I have a feeling that in the end it will ultimately work out to our favor. It's just... Going round after round with these idiots in the meantime is getting kind of tiring and it's funny how the media will sit there pick up on a j for year-and-a-half but they searched they don't seem to be in their work show on uh... that kangaroo court that you people are involved in well one of the uh... one other things that uh... kind of astonished me was right after my last class here among other people like talk to what people over at the dallas morning news

23:09 Mr. Slover with the Dallas Morning News wasn't the least bit interested in the political issue of The Republic Of Texas, all he wanted to know was where in the world I had been all summer? I says listen that may be interesting but you're missing the bigger picture here and basically told me he didn't care. Gene do you have a final question? That's the new world order for ya! Give me a holler as soon as you find anything out. As it stands right now, my brother and I will be out there Friday morning for y'all's hearing. If they postpone that holler we'll shift our plans accordingly. Okay? I would like to see him haul off and release you guys Friday morning so we can bring you back for the Jeff Davis show live next Monday evening Yeah that'd be nice Well I tell ya what Like I say, I do have a motion for dismissal of charges

23:59 and so do the Paulsons, and Judge DeHart has no legal grounds to deny those motions. Richard is there anything that you want to say? I want to make sure he gets the opportunity to say everything. You only got a half hour I was told... Sure go ahead closing comments statements whatever you want to uh... well you know ladies and gentlemen listening audience this evening i'd like to know how many of you out there who are thinking that this very same thing could not happen to you uh... your probably sitting in front of your television set tonight watching this is saying no way i'm too careful uh... you know what i do it's not dangerous for the state except for a contract

24:39 What I'd like to say to you people is that I thought the very same thing. I thought exactly the same thing before I came down here to Texas, and even after I came down here to Texas. And then when Sheriff Bailey illegally kidnapped our Captain of the Guard bob shite we found ourselves in a military situation to protect ourselves from harassment and illegal activity at the hands of a so-called law enforcement agent here in jeff davis county you know if you don't think it can happen to you thank again uh... your kids not showing up at school

25:19 you know, subscribing to Patriot-type publications. Maybe you use some kind of alternate medication and your neighbors report you for child abuse because you're not taking your kids to the doctor! It could be anything but you could be next Oh yeah, I definitely agree. In fact Richard, I would say that it is happening all over America maybe not to Europe...all the way to where you're at this point but it is definitely happening and we are literally just caught up in a sea of laws that have completely got us all enslaved. The bottom line is free all political prisoners now

26:00 Good point. What do we do about the criminals running things? Well, I tell you what every single one of them is going to be facing criminal charges after we get done finishing suing them in the district court in Washington DC Every single one of them is going to be facing criminal charges That includes everybody from peons like Sheriff Bailey all the way on up to the governor. And if that includes President Clinton, then so be it! Nobody is above the law. It's awful funny... God Almighty creator of heaven and earth

26:46 laid down 10 laws for us to be able to live a moral life. Last year the Texas legislature passed over 1,000 so they are putting folks like us that are on the streets in a position of not knowing what the laws are and then you're going to turn around and say ignorance is no excuse But yet how can you keep up with these volumes that they pass every year? They've got plenty of fines and all kinds. Criminals of the state, Richard! That's what it comes down to. There ya go. We're all criminals... most of these crimes are victimless we're just criminals of some phony law that some bureaucrat or some bought off politician has gotten past. That's what it amounts to. They got too much time on their hands, so they're going to think of somewhere they can foul up someone's life and separate them from their money. Richard let me just say this I hope your spirit sound good

27:39 And let me tell you brother there are many, there are people out here and more people every day that are waking up to the shenanigans going on here. The secret... from the secret societies to the international bankers to all the powers and how this whole fraudulent Roman Empire works. All the way out to the Brother-in-Laws of West Texas? Yeah, there's people waking up to this fraud! Well I appreciate you having me on the program this evening... I'm about to get cut off here so once again we appreciate the work your doing and hope to see ya on the outside some day God bless you Richard We'll see you Friday We'll talk to you later I love Mike Hanson Archives.
