CRAIG COBB IS SELLING HIS HOUSE IN SHERWOOD, NORTH DAKOTA

Finally Twitter, Facebook and other companies are waking up somewhat to the devastating and threatening chatter by these radical terrorists. (that's what they are)

If the former Grant County States Attorney TODD SCHWARZ and the Assistant Attorney General PAUL EMERSON had prosecuted CRAIG COBB and mandated that he have no use of computers nor the internet during his four (4) years of supervised probation he would not be waging an internet war against this editor and his family, the Mayor of Leith Ryan Schock and his family, the Leith City Councilman Lee Cook and his family and Bobby and Sheryl Harper.

COBB and his NAZI cronies threatened to kill all of us with bullets to the brain many times over and accused one of us for having relations with a dead wife posted on NAZI websites and another for taking part in the murder of a child filmed by this editor and in the movie "WELCOME TO LEITH"..

Just three (3) weeks after his release from jail on April 29, 2014 he began an attack on a NAZI website by posting photographs and writing filthy statements about this editor's family. This editor contacted the Deputy Sheriff of Grant County (now the Sheriff) John Foss and provided him with files of what COBB had posted on the NAZI website.

The FBI seized his computer and files but did the North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem take further action and place further restrictions on his probation - HELL NO! It's no wonder Stenehjem lost the primary election by a wide margin.

COBB will have completed his probation on April 29th of next year (2018) and will actually be able to visit or come back to Leith and start his rampage all over again. One thing is for sure the citizens of Leith, this editor and Grant County people in general will never let that happen. This state and this country have had enough of these animals harassing North Dakota citizens, disrupting their peaceful lives, costing them money and letting the politicians run their lives.

Once again - most people don't realize this but the same attorneys; the former Grant County States Attorney TODD SCHWARZ and the Assistant Attorney General PAUL EMERSON that let CRAIG COBB off with just a slap of the hand are the same ones that tried to put the long time Mayor of Leith Ryan Schock on trial for "FAILURE TO CONTROL A LEGAL FIRE DEMOLITION IN THE CITY OF LEITH". After seventeen (17) months of delays and reschedules of trial dates the charge was dismissed with prejudice.

Now the same former Grant County States Attorney TODD SCHWARZ (now the McKenzie County Assistant States Attorney) and the Assistant Attorney General PAUL EMERSON have initiated a malicious selective prosecution of the suspended (by former Governor Jack Dalrymple) McKenzie County Sheriff Gary Schwartzenberger for a charge that is frivolous to say the least.

When these attorneys that keep sucking the life out of taxpayer money by their constant plea deals letting off terrorists like COBB and DUTTON and the pipeline protesters are finally run out of office either by elective processes or just plain getting fired the better off North Dakota will be.

In the image above are the two (2) attorneys (PAUL EMERSON on the left and TODD SCHWARZ on the right) during the courtroom release of the notorious NAZI CRAIG COBB that terrorized the citizens of the City of Leith, Grant County and the state of North Dakota. They then went after the editor of this news website by dropping the charge against COBB that involved him. Then the Mayor of Leith Ryan Schock was next. Now they continue their vendetta of malicious selective prosecution of the Sheriff of McKenzie County.

For those who don't really know what went on with these two and the NAZI CRAIG COBB you should see the movie "WELCOME TO LEITH". It will literally scare the HELL out of most people.

...AFTER THE "CONVICTED HOME GROWN DOMESTIC NAZI/WHITE SUPREMACIST TERRORIST" CRAIG COBB AND HIS ATTEMPT TO TAKE OVER SIX (6) TOWNS IN NORTH DAKOTA, KANSAS AND NEBRASKA

EDITOR COMMENT: COBB WAS RELEASED FROM JAIL ON 4 YEARS SUPERVISED PROBATION ON APRIL 29, 2014 BY THE NOW HUMILIATED FORMER GRANT COUNTY STATES ATTORNEY "TODD SCHWARZ".

HIS PROBATION WILL END ON APRIL 29TH OF NEXT YEAR (2018) WHEN HE WILL BE FREE TO LEAVE NORTH DAKOTA BUT UNDER FEDERAL LAW WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO OWN ANY FIREARM FOR LIFE.

THE STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A LESSON LEARNED FROM THE PAGES OF THE CITY OF LEITH AND ITS STRUGGLE AND EVENTUAL VICTORY OVER RUNNING THE NAZIS OUT OF GRANT COUNTY WITH THE STANDING ROCK TRIBAL NATION AND THE DAPL RIOTERS AND IT WOULD NOT HAVE COST NORTH DAKOTA TAXPAYERS ALMOST $40 MILLION.

COBB IS FOREWARNED NOT TO RETURN TO THE CITY OF LEITH NOR GRANT COUNTY AS HE WILL CERTAINLY REGRET DOING SO.

The four videos below were filmed by an RT (Russia Today Television) videographer and reported by Maria Finoshina (A War Correspondent of Russia Today Television).

Maria contacted this editor back in the fall of 2015 through the now closed Leith website and was able to track him down in Sherwood, North Dakota. Cobb was not pleased when she showed up at his house and after an exchange of a few comments Cobb invited Maria to come inside his house where his three dogs were 'yapping'.

However, she refused and the interview was on at the outside of his dilapidated fence and house.

Maria then travelled on to Nebraska and Kansas where she found and interviewed several residents who all pooled together their resources and paid the back taxes on several properties that Cobb attempted to buy for his NAZIS to come and presumably take over their town.

VALLEY CITY, ND (KFGO) - Craig Cobb, the white supremacist convicted of terrorizing residents in Leith, ND, is now the co-owner of an abandoned church in Barnes County.

The Barnes County Recorder's office says a deed was filed Tuesday that lists Cobb as one of two people who own the former Nome Zion Evangelical Free Church. The Barnes County Treasurer's office also confirms that Cobb submitted a check for his share of the property tax bill.

City leaders in Nome have expressed concern about what Cobb plans to do with the church. In 2013, Cobb tried to establish an all-white community in Leith, ND.

Cobb is now living in Sherwood, ND. He's serving four years of probation for terrorizing and menacing Leith residents.

NOME, N.D.—A small North Dakota town is at odds with its newest neighbor.

This week, notorious white supremacist Craig Cobb started moving into an old church in Nome.

Craig Cobb has twice tried to turn small North Dakota towns into all-white enclaves.

At a city council meeting Sunday night, some desperate Nome residents were searching for ways to keep that from happening in their town.

Several people say they've already seen Cobb moving furniture into the old Zion Lutheran Church.

At Sunday's meeting, the mayor says technically the sale is not final.

Only 1 of the church's 2 current owners have agreed to sell.

But that's not stopping neighbors from worrying about Cobb's history of neo-Nazi style terrorizing.

The council says he is legally entitled to live where he wants.

Some residents say they feel helpless.

Nome Mayor Bruce Storhoff says, "I don't know if there's anything we can do until he does something unlawful or illegal to our ordinances or to the county."

Nome resident Sarah Rangeloff says, "I'm afraid if he comes out here and lives out here he will be bringing probably his goons with him or his followers and he'll be interrupting everyone's lives, including the kids that live out here."

Cobb is on probation until 2018 and prohibited from owning a firearm.

The Barnes County Sheriff says if Cobb does move in deputies will likely increase patrols through town.

NOME, N.D. -- The man who twice tried to turn small North Dakota towns into all-white enclaves is putting down stakes in Barnes County. This week, Craig Cobb started moving into Nome.

Earlier this year, Cobb said he was filing a discrimination suit claiming a Bottineau bank officer wouldn't let him buy a home in Landa.

At that time, he said he wanted to settle down with his girlfriend and not take over the community.

But neighbors in Nome worry that could change.

Barely 5 dozen people live in sleepy Nome.

Linda Hendrickson says, "We've lived here all of our lives. It's been a peaceful town and we hope it stays that way."

Some worry their new neighbor could change that.

Hendrickson says, "Our hands are tied. I mean he can live where he wants I guess."

Linda Hendrickson lives just a stone's throw from Craig Cobb's new home.

This week, the white supremacist moved into the former Zion Lutheran Church.

It's a place the Hendricksons attended for decades before it closed in 2012.

They can see the building through their dining room window and hold onto some of its precious keepsakes.

After it was a worship space, the church changed hands several times before Cobb bought it.

Cobb is on probation until 2018 after being convicted in 2013 of neo-Nazi style terrorizing in Leith, North Dakota.

He tried to turn the town into an all-white enclave.

Since then, several other North Dakota towns and places in Kansas and Nebraska prevented him from buying property.

And this purchase isn't coming without push-back.

Hendrickson says, "I think everybody deserves a chance, but he's been given so many chances in so many different towns. Is it going to be the same situation here as it has been in the other towns?"

Nome city officials and the Barnes County Sheriff plan to hold a meeting Sunday night to address concerns.

The Sheriff says as long as Cobb doesn't do anything illegal, he's entitled to live where he wants.

EDITORIAL NOTE:

After being one of COBB's victims and filming, photographing and reporting on this "NAZI IDIOT" for the past three and one half years one would think he would stop his lunacy but NO...he continues to harass people.

If the good people of Nome, North Dakota don't realize it he will buy the church property, move in with his so-called girlfriend some 30 years younger and turn it into his "CHURCH OF CREATIVITY" and invite more of his NAZI kind into their town eventually turning it into a NAZI ENCLAVE which, has always been his eventual goal!

The time is now for the town of Nome to get its ordinances updated, find out who is selling the property and stop them from selling it to this LUNATIC!

I have spoken with the Mayor of Nome and have provided him with a copy of the City of Leith's ordinances which prevented COBB from financially staying in Leith. I also provided the Mayor with a copy of COBB's probation order.

I speak from personal experience as to how dangerous this man and his NAZI kind can be.

NOME — This 62-person hamlet in Barnes County is facing a question other sleepy North Dakota towns have already grappled with: What should be done when white supremacist Craig Cobb is trying to move in?

Cobb, aka Paul Craig Cobb, has already tried to turn the towns of Leith and Antler into enclaves of white supremacists. Now, it’s believed he started last week to move into the former Zion Lutheran Church in Nome, about 70 miles southwest of Fargo.

At a meeting of the Nome City Council on Sunday, Feb. 5, Mayor Bruce Storhoff said he’s heard Cobb intends to buy the old church, which is currently zoned as a residence and not a gathering place. However, the sale is not yet complete, and the county recorder’s office has not registered it, Storhoff said.

“As a governing body, we really don’t have a leg to stand on just to not let him in if that sale goes through,” the mayor said, adding that Cobb would have to do something illegal before officials could intervene.

The regularly-scheduled City Council meeting, which coincided with the Super Bowl, was attended by about six members of the public. One of them was Nome resident Sarah Rangeloff, who had a question for Barnes County Sheriff Randy McClaflin.

“Say everything goes through, and he starts trouble,” she said of Cobb. “Are we going to have the extra patrol out here and are you guys ready to deal with that?”

The sheriff assured Rangeloff, the mother of a 12-year-old girl, that his department is ready, but noted that more patrols may require the help of other law enforcement agencies.

“It would kill me if my daughter felt unsafe in her own home because of that idiot,” Rangeloff said, again referring to Cobb.

McClaflin said one of his deputies saw Cobb moving belongings from the trunk of his vehicle into the church Friday evening. The sheriff said he consulted with the local state’s attorney who said that it’s not a matter law enforcement can get involved in at this point.

“He does have a right to own property. He does have a right to declare, you know, his beliefs the same as we do,” said City Auditor Alice Capman. “It’s not something that we need to agree with him on.”

Shortly before Sunday’s meeting, no one answered when The Forum knocked on the church doors. The dilapidated church, with peeling white paint, appeared unoccupied. Cobb, who did not attend the meeting, does not have a listed phone number.

Asked who sold the property to Cobb, city officials referred the question to the county recorder’s office, which was closed over the weekend.

Cobb is a member of the Creativity Movement, a nontheistic religion that believes in the superiority of white people. Starting in 2011, he began buying up property in Leith, N.D., southwest of Bismarck, with the intent of turning the town into a white supremacist enclave.

In 2013, Leith residents learned of Cobb’s plan, and town officials started discussing new building ordinances and even dissolving the town government. Later that year, Cobb was jailed on suspicion of terrorizing after conducting an armed patrol of his property in Leith.

Cobb pleaded guilty in 2014 to a felony terrorizing charge and five misdemeanor menacing charges. A judge gave him credit for time served and put him on supervised probation until 2018.

In 2015, he tried to buy land for an enclave in Antler, N.D., north of Minot and just south of the Canadian border. Cobb has lately resided in Sherwood, N.D., northwest of Minot. He has said the Sherwood house was just a place where he and his girlfriend wanted to live, not start an enclave.

He said the same about a home he tried to buy last month in Landa, N.D., northeast of Minot. In that case, he threatened to file a discrimination suit after a bank officer wouldn't let him purchase the home.

Just days before Leith Mayor Ryan Schock was to go on trial for burning down a condemned property in the Grant County village, the attorney general's office filed a motion to dismiss the misdemeanor charge, bringing the nearly two-year-long issue to an end with the court judge's signature.

Assistant Attorney General Paul Emerson filed the motion in South Central District Court on Wednesday citing prosecutorial discretion and lack of sufficient evidence to convict Schock of failing to control and report the fire.

Schock, who battled to save Leith from an attempted takeover by white supremacist Craig Cobb and his cohorts, burned a dilapidated structure after Cobb deeded it back to the city as part of his stay-out-of-jail deal.

The charge was filed nearly a year after the May 2014 fire and had been scheduled for trial on four occasions, but always pushed forward for a continuance. The charge was based on a complaint from Michael Bencz, who moved to town during the Cobb disruption and claimed the fire threatened his property.

Schock said he was relieved the matter was finally over.

"It's a pretty good day today. I hope this is the end of it, and we can close the book on everything," Schock said.

Schock's troubles started in August 2013, when Cobb started buying empty lots and abandoned houses and offering them to other white supremacists with the aim of taking over the town council and flying Nazi flags at city hall. That ended when Cobb was arrested for terrorizing residents while on an armed patrol of Leith. He's serving four years probation on a plea deal and lives in Sherwood, near Canada. Cohort Kynan Dutton, now of Underwood, comes off probation at the end of the month for the same incident.

LEITH, ND - Mayor Ryan Schock of Leith, ND, who after enduring the ordeal of liberating the takeover of the town by nazi/white supremacists Craig Cobb, Kynan Dutton and Deborah Henderson is now being prosecuted by Paul Emerson of the North Dakota Attorney General's office for failure to control or report a dangerous fire in the City of Leith.

The court date for the misdemeanor 'A' 6 person jury trial is now set for Tuesday and Wednesday, January 12th and 13th at 9 AM (MST) in the Carson, ND Courthouse. If convicted Mayor Schock could receive up to 1 year imprisonment and/or a $3,000 fine or both.

Leith City Councilman Lee Cook says, "This is pure retribution by former Grant County States Attorney Todd Schwarz and Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem's representative Paul Emerson."

In an interview with Grant County ND News Dot Com editor Gregory Bruce Mr. Cook went on to say "the state won't prosecute people like Craig Cobb for terrorizing citizens of Leith with guns but will go after a law abiding citizen like Mr. Schock who has no criminal record. He is a pillar of the community serving as Mayor of Leith for several terms, working hard ranching and raising a family. He is a hero in the community with the backbone to stand up against evil and injustice, Mr. Cook added." Mr. Cook continued to say "it does nothing more than add to the political agenda of destroying the individuals who took Todd Schwarz before the North Dakota Supreme Court's Disciplinary Board for conduct unbecoming of an attorney in the summer of 2014. Thousands of taxpayer dollars are now going to be spent on a jury trial that will end up in the North Dakota Supreme Court if necessary."

Todd Schwarz has since resigned as Grant County States Attorney and has moved on to become McKenzie County Assistant States Attorney. According to the Grant County Auditor Lynn Mutschelknaus, Schwarz's replacement is the current Golden Valley States Attorney Elizabeth A. Ebert, who is also a member of the Mackoff Kellogg law firm in Dickinson, ND. She will begin her duties this month.

Mayor Schock and volunteers have continued to clean up the town by demolishing several falling down structures that had been condemned years ago by Custer Health making Leith a safe place for people to raise a family.

The City of Leith waged a legal battle against the nazi/white supremacist Craig Cobb and his accomplices Kynan Dutton and Deborah Henderson and their agenda to take over the City of Leith to the point it became an international saga. Within a few weeks after being online there were millions of hits on its website and Facebook pages. Ryan Schock and Lee Cook of Leith, Gregory Bruce of New Leipzig and Lisa Auck of Underwood went to court on numerous occasions fighting restraining orders and sitting through all the hearings of Craig Cobb and Kynan Dutton.

At one point in McLean County's courtroom in Washburn, Deborah Henderson filed a 2nd restraining order against Leith's Media Relations Representative Gregory Bruce and Lauren Donovan, a reporter of the Bismarck Tribune newspaper for stalking. Both were summarily dismissed by the presiding judge. This was immediately done by Henderson following the judge's decision to dismiss her initial restraining order against Lisa Auck.

Michael Bencz and Deby Nelson moved to Leith from Wisconsin after they put a $2,500 down payment on one of Cobb’s dilapidated houses north of the old town church. They claim they made two payments to Cobb after their down payment but offered no proof of it. According to Craig Cobb, he received no payments from them after he was arrested with Kynan Dutton on November 16, 2013 and charged with 7 counts of terrorizing residents of Leith and 1 resident from New Leipzig.

Eventually Todd Schwarz, then Assistant States Attorney for Grant County, ND let Cobb off with a plea agreement for time served with only 1 felony on his record and 4 years of supervised probation requiring him to remain in North Dakota. Schwarz was assisted by Attorney Paul Emerson of the North Dakota Attorney General's office throughout all of Craig Cobb's hearings and is now prosecuting Mayor Ryan Schock.

Mayor Schock, along with other Leith officials eventually legally destroyed the structure by fire on May 25, 2014 after Bencz and Nelson interfered with demolition crews on 2 previous occasions. The remaining details of the issue are not being discussed on the advice of legal counsel.

The documents giving notice to Cobb by Custer Health to clean up the property in question along with photos as well as the eventual notice to the City of Leith to carry out the abatement of the property after Cobb refused to clean up the property are on the Grant County, North Dakota News Dot Com website at: www.grantcountyndnews.com/downloads.htm.

 Additionally the quit claim deed Cobb filled out turning the properties over to the City of Leith in order for him to be released from jail is also on this website.

Leith and Grant County citizens along with Cobb, Dutton and other nazi/white supremacists were interviewed and filmed by the media company 'Hot Snakes Media' from Brooklyn, NY. They produced a 1 hour documentary for the National Geographic television channel however, to this day National Geographic executives have refused to comment on why they cancelled the 6 part series entitled 'American Fringe'.

No Weather Productions of Brooklyn, NY directors Michael Beach Nichols and Christopher K. Walker also filmed Leith and Grant County citizens for over 8 months as well as Cobb and other people from all over the country including other nazi/white supremacists.

Their 85-minute documentary entitled 'Welcome To Leith' premiered at Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah last summer. Over 2,000 viewers saw the film in 6 different theatres in the famous tourist town. Mayor Schock and his family were among the attendees. After each showing there were Q&A sessions where people from all over the world asked Mayor Schock how the Leith debacle affected his family and the people of Leith. The response was overwhelmingly supportive of the town and its residents. Craig Cobb showed up on the big screen via a Skype video teleconference session during 1 of the Q&A sessions. Cobb's short appearance prompted the audience to become enraged.

The movie 'Welcome To Leith', which chronicled Leith's struggle to liberate itself of the nazi/white supremacist takeover of their town has become an international hit viewing in theatres in over 20 countries and almost every state in the US. It is currently available for sale or rent on iTunes as a download. DVD's will be available next month on such websites as Amazon and iTunes.

Mayor Schock's only comment advised by attorney Steven Balaban of Bismarck, ND is that "justice will prevail when I go to trial and am acquitted of the charge", Schock said.
