duhneece's JournalDuer duhneece is targeted by a right-wing domestic terrorist.
I thought my friend Donna was a wee bit paranoid. She phoned me Thursday before last to tell me to be extra cautious as my name had been mentioned by the election-denier, grifter, attorney David Clements during a county commission meeting, packed full with right-wing supporters of Clements and Cowboys for Trump, Jan 6 criminal Couy Griffin. Clements complained bitterly that I had filed an official complaint against him with the New Mexico Supreme Court and my complaint had initiated an investigation.
Then over last weekend, he complained about me again in a Facebook post. I got a few more calls and folks tell me that they think our county is where the next civil war begins or next mass shooting.
Then he posted a video. He says in the video that he has over 100,000 followers and whines that my complaint is taking food from his children’s mouths.

Clements friend, Couy Griffin uses tactics of normalizing violence with his speeches he made when he joined Women for America First on the bus tour across the country. He urged Trump supporters to rally at the Capitol on Jan. 6, saying there should be martial law and we are a nation at war. He continued to speak favorably of the riot in the days after the attack in videos he posted on social media.
Witness at Couy’s 14th Amendment trial to remove him from office last week, Rachel Kleinfeld said during his trial that Griffin in those public statements consistently used tactics that can incite people to become violent.
Clements and his telegram followers use these same tactics during their recruitment meetings on his social media that normalize violence, by saying things like using terms like firing squads as seen in this telgram shot from his channel.
Remember, this is the county where our commissioner’s “The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat” video got retweeted by the former President. Same commissioner who has been banned by the Mescalero Apache reservation. Same commission district that my friend Stephanie DuBois is running for. We are doing all we can to stop this madness but we need your help. We need your support. This is what we have to counter.

"...A lawsuit contends Griffin violated the 14th Amendment, which prohibits officeholders sworn to uphold the Constitution from engaging in an “insurrection” against the U.S. government. The “disqualification clause” is part of a Civil War-era constitutional amendment intended to bar former Confederates from holding state or federal offices...SANTA FE — Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin admitted a couple of times Monday that he wasn’t ready for trial.
“I’m not as prepared as I should be,” Griffin, the defendant in a civil lawsuit seeking to remove him from his elected position, said during his opening statement. “I had too much confidence in the law being followed.”
Griffin is representing himself against a team of lawyers in a bench trial that could determine whether he will be allowed to serve out the remaining months of his term in office...

The possibility of national implications tickles my fancy.
DUer duhneece plea for support from a 'Ground Zero for Violence' County (updated at the bottom)
First, an apology. It is our (Duer Stephanie DuBois and my) intention to post a plea for support for a combined campaign weekly through our own DU ActBlue site (gratitude to Omaha Steve is out of this world).
Our Trump supporting County is a powder keg for violence. Not just in a physical sense but ideologically and legislatively too. First, our County passed a ‘Sanctuary for the Unborn’, regardless of those in attendance voicing their objections. In the past physical attendance had "influenced" our commissioners over emails because emails couldn't be verified as local. However, when it is opposition that has greater physical presence as we have done recently, it's the emails in support that have greater weight, regardless of location, than those physically present to speak.
Immediately, on the county's coattails, the City of Alamogordo planned a special meeting that was advertised as an ‘event’ for a republican state rep candidate
to support the County AND pass their own ‘Sanctuary for the Unborn’ resolution. We spent a week mobilizing support to appear and speak at the ‘Special Meeting’. Once again, opposition to this resolution showed up in greater numbers to speak than those in favor.
Emails from those "against" were scrutinized and discarded as "probably" being from outside the area. The emails "for" were not equally challenged or tossed. The city passed the resolution regardless.
The youth in our community have really stepped up since the leaked draft of Roe V Wade was released. We have worked tirelessly as mentors to assist them in navigating the world of political activism. Learning from them as well, as they say, you're never too old to teach "old dogs" new tricks. Together we have organized several pro-choice rallies and voter registration drives.
Honestly we know we have our work cut out for us here but it's not impossible to flip Otero Blue. We must reach the youth who think their votes don't matter. Those who have lost faith in their party and don't bother showing up anymore. Even those who are ready to make a party switch. These people are out there but we need your help to reach them.
Please consider making a donation to our campaign so we can make a difference in Otero County, NM. Without your support nothing will ever change.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
I decided to add this photo, Cowboys for Trump Couy Griffin prayed at our protest against resolutions.
We deserve better. YOU can help!!!
I was going to make this week’s post asking for support for NM Otero County Commissioer DUer StephanieDuBois about her truly horrible, terrible, no-good, very bad opponent but I just got a phone call from a man who says he did an exposé on her opponent. Probably nothing but ?
Instead I want to reveal to you a threat to our entire nation, but who is part of Stephanie’s opponent’s ‘organized crime syndicate’, here in Otero County. David Clements is also a threat to other DUer’s communities directly (and to me personally). I guarantee he has been in the community of other DUers.
From NPR: “Election deniers are spreading misinformation nationwide… a new strategy has emerged. Instead of trickling down from former President Donald Trump's Twitter account, the movement has gone grassroots, with election denial influencers traveling the country to share their conspiracy theories with politicians and voters.
NPR's Investigations team used social media and news reports to track four key figures in the movement: MyPillow CEO and longtime Trump supporter Mike Lindell, …and former law professor David Clements. Here are four takeaways from that reporting… Over the course of the 18 months since Jan. 6, 2021, the four election denialists NPR tracked have been slated to speak at at least 308 events in 45 states and the District o Columbia. The events were often small, held in restaurants and churches, backyards and community centers…”

David Clements is a friend of Couy ‘the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat’ Griffin of Cowboys for Trump, J6 convicted Defendant, and like the snake oil sales men they are, they ‘sold’ our other two county commissioners on the ‘fake election audit’ which result in ‘No fraud’ but cost the county taxpayers a pretty penny.
Clements advised a ‘firing squad’ approach during a supposedly neutral, non-partisan presentation (at Baptist church) during their attempt to solicit volunteers for the fake audit.
He falsely accused me of making threats to his family, making me a target to his supporters (the many who have provided him with over $300,000 for his scam). I was questioning how the fake audit contract was awarde, how the County Clerk and state audit the election and then he lied about me. Here’s a short clip (still too long and boring with me talking at beginning):
If you want to hear this entire county commission meeting with them using ‘legalese bullshit’ to baffle the commission:
And then posted this picture of himself on Facebook. What kind of small man posts this gun-porn picture of himself? He’s showing you who he is.
Campaign Created by: Joe Oltmann The funds from this campaign will be received by David Clements. Goal: USD $500,000 Raised : USD $302,572 https://www.givesendgo.com/ProfessorDavidClements
Just a reminder of David Clement’s friend, Couy Griffin, as he travels the nation. He was banned by our Mescalero Tribe for inappropriate behavior. Does he know how many Confederate officers, soldiers or auxiliary are buried in any of our National Cemeteries (besides Confederate soldiers who died in custody)? None. Because they were not patriots of our nation; they were traitors. He’s a traitor.
Our county is a fire keg, the threats of violence so close, so real, so well documented that we Democrats have to acknowledge that the potential for civil war, for the next mass shooting is here. You can help.
DUer StephanieDuBois is running a combined campaign and every piece of literature, social media posting, mailings will include Democrats up and down ballot. We HAVE to replace our US Congresswoman, with Gabe Vasquez.
We deserve better. You can help.

Please support new DUer Stephanie DuBois as you have supported me for nearly 19 years!
I’ve run for office before with DU support-not just financial but moral support, tech support (my God, what would I do without OmahaSteve?), emotional, mental, and even spiritual) and I’m eternally grateful for that. I’m asking again for DU support.
I’m in the eye of the hurricane, ground zero in violent rhetoric, grifters & traitors like ‘Cowboys for Trump’ Couy Griffin, but we have even worse in David Clements…more info in the coming weeks.
While I’m not running for office this election I recruited my friend and ‘partner in mischief’ for the past 20 years, Stephanie DuBois, to run for Otero County Commissioner and I’ll be asking for you to support this new DUer.
This was in 2010 at our second We Trust Women rally…DUer duhneece is in purple hoodee, and DUer and candidate Stephanie DuBois is second from right in ball cap.
Here’s Stephanie registering voters at the 2022 We Trust Women rally:
Two days ago Otero County Commission passed a resolution ‘Otero County is a Sanctuary for the Unborn.’ Truly horrible resolution but the GOOD NEWS:
Stephanie and I’ve been the lead organizers for the We Trust Women rallies since 2009 but we quit during Covid. A young woman called the newspaper a couple of months ago and was given my name. I told her I just couldn’t organize this year, she pleaded, I told her that if she would meet me at City Hall to fill out a permit (done as a courtesy but it ensures that we get all 4 corners of ‘our favorite intersection’ on the permit, and we get all 4 corners with no counter-protestors) and prepare a graphic with all the info, I would share it. It was incredibly electrifying. We got huge (for us) crowds at two rallies with a very diverse mix. Our group was mostly seniors, mostly Democrats….her group (she’s 22, gay, married, young mother) is young LGBTQ, some military (we have Holloman AFB here), far too many not registered to vote. We’ve organized into 4 teams to register voters at the only place we register more Dems and Independents , the barber shop that most minorities get their hair cut at (dangling p…). THEN, when our County proposed this resolution, we got many to come and speak out against the resolution …to no avail, but they attended their first-ever county commission meeting, they understand the need to elect Democrats up and down ballot.

I made the news chewing out Couy Griffin of Cowboys for Trump
I don’t know how to share the Tic Toc but here I am, briefly, on local news. PBS had their own story and included me. I was channeling the folks in the room, our folks.
I love that KRQE caught the laughter after Couy’s ‘…blah blah Marxist blah blah..’ comment. https://www.krqe.com/video/couy-griffin-will-not-receive-legal-representation-from-otero-county/7805820/
grogusimp is my friend’s tic toc ‘name’.
Can you imagine a grandma beginning a thought "I'm glad my grandson shot himself...?
My horror, my condemnation, my grief at my thinking yesterday, “I’m glad my grandson shot himself instead of others?”
Ethan, 19 almost 20, shot himself in the head April 4. Miraculously, he was almost right in front of UNM Hospital, and he’s speaking, texting, doing physical therapy. He refers to himself as Miracle Man, although now he has a brain abscess that they are having trouble treating.
But the idea anyone would think that is hard for me to wrap my head and heart around.
Don’t cry for me.
Guilty: Cowboys for Trump' founder Couy Griffin convicted in the second January 6 trial
Source: Business Insider
A federal judge found "Cowboys for Trump" leader Couy Griffin guilty of a misdemeanor charge connected to the Capitol attack, handing the Justice Department a victory in the second trial stemming from the insurrection on January 6, 2021.
Judge Trevor McFadden handed down the verdict Tuesday after federal prosecutors presented video footage showing Griffin, a New Mexico county commissioner, climbing a bike ramp and ascending a makeshift plywood ramp on his approach to the Capitol.
Griffin faces up to a year in prison on the misdemeanor charge of trespassing on restricted Capitol grounds.
McFadden acquitted Griffin on a separate disorderly conduct charge, which also carried a maximum sentence of a year in prison.

There are two more legal actions that may wake this guy up.

Now 'firing squads' suggested by phony (think Maricopa) audit
Our County Commission just voted for an ‘audit’ by Echo Mail. Disgraced Professor gave presentation about it and included suggesting ‘firing squads’. Link to video at the end of this ramble.
I’m in hell it feels. A potential for violence-this is Cowboys for Trump country including Couy Griffin’s “…the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat..”
A friend who attended (former military law enforcement) said this: This is my work in progress, any thoughts?
"So I went to the election audit meeting last night and I think it is important to let everyone know what is happening and the imminent danger our community is in.
The speakers were David and Erin Clements, David is a known conspiracy monger who is affiliated with multiple national Q anon influencers to include Mike Lindell (owner of mypillow) and Gen Mike Flynn so this is not just the local bad actors and money at play here.
I'm not going to go into great detail but what they provided was absolute garbage, graphs and charts with no context or source, made up terms like "manipulated fractional data points" and a magic algorithm that controls all of our votes, all nonsense that they laid out like any pyramid scam with the audience including Couy and Vicki lapping it up.
I could go on and on about how everything they said was false and propaganda, their presentation is easily debunked but that is a waste of time in this situation because the believers are already convinced and beyond reason. What does need to be addressed is their larger plan and goals and the imminent threat this poses to our community.
This is an coordinated attack on democracy that is being pushed nation wide, it's happened in AZ, GA and MI to name a few. Their goal is to destroy public confidence in the democratic process and grooming those disenfranchised voters for future violence. Their tactics do not end with stupid legal challenges and fake audits to funnel money out of government to grifters, it includes harassment, threats, acts of physical intimidation and violence, up to and including domestic terrorist attacks like January 6th.
This is about election integrity but it's about saving it from those that are actively trying to destroy it under the guise of it. This is not politics, this is a fight against organized crime, domestic terrorism, this is a fight for survival, a fight for the very fabric and foundation of our country and our community."
At 2:10:50 to 2:11:10 is firing squad comment (I’ve been told-I can’t hear it): I’ll have to post the link of video in a comment.
