Legal theft

April 7, 2026 by Guest Post

by William (Bill) Campbell, Conner

The residents of the Bitterroot Valley are being victimized by means of and attempt to apply the provisions of Eminent Domain (relating to physical property seizure) to the process of seizure of intangible rights.

This transposition is literally taking place.  This application of law would provide investors untold leverage under the protection of federal law. This is the formation of a process by which Rights can be taken, as has been done with physical property. This legal “threading of a needle” is exhibited by the proponents of the Sheep Creek Hustle as they constantly compensate for changing circumstances that could challenge their effort to take your rights through abuse of the 5th Amendment of the Constitution. If they are successful in using that law to seize your intangible rights, you will have no means to restore equity to that imposition. No means of appeal.

Apply logic to what you see here.  Investors are moving to high-profit activities not previously available, as they are aware of the legal manipulations to seize some of your rights and feel they will be successful.
What is proposed is bad enough. Where does it go from here? You are unwilling participants in a social and legal experiment that investors are betting you will lose. They are buying time here to perfect their instrument of destruction.

The Sheep Creek Hussle is proof of that process at work. We are losing. You need not be an attorney; I’m not, just look at the facts from their perspective, and you will realize what is happening.

Fight to keep your rights. They will be taken without recourse.
