Note: On September 24, 2010, just before midnight, I was going through some old

papers and found this "Read" receipt from then-Governor Jeb Bush (brother of then-
President George W. Bush) for the email below. Governor Bush was known as the "e-
Governor" because of his great affinity for email and online communication, for
technology in general, which is part of why I don't believe this was a staff member's
doing. Even if it was, it would have been his agent, therefore, him.

That was forty-three days after the University of South Florida's unlawfully cutting off my pay
and benefits as of May 22, 2001.

Subject: Ruby Ridge: Initialization to Terrorization

Dear President Bush:

Please put the following alongside correspondence sent to you from me and from my father Robert F. Blevins
earlier today: both that which has been sent to you directly and that on which you have been copied.

I just finished watching (7 to 8 p.m., ET) a documentary on the Ruby Ridge tragedy involving the Randall Weaver
family. I would like to draw your attention to a few telling themes from this show. There are terrifying parallels
between this incident and my own family’s experiences, late December 1987 to date, particularly October 18,
1994, 10:16 a.m. and October 15, 1996, 4:48 a.m.

The Guns the Weavers thought would protect them made them targets

In August, 1992, federal agents were following rules of engagement against the besieged Randall Weaver family
whereby the federal agents were granted, for the first time ever, the right to shoot and kill these American
citizens, without regard to whether they posed any immediate threat. More specifically, the federal government
granted itself the right to shoot to kill any armed male. The commentator noted that the guns the Weavers
thought would protect them had become the very things that made them targets. Such is the way with tyranny
oppression: such has been the way with the federal government on down against this four-generation Blevins-
Cieszynski-Fornof-Stout family since late December 1987, to date, with nothing in sight but more of the same, or
worse. It has been the very exercising of our rights that has made us targets! How wrong is that?

The University of South Florida is among the most recent to target us for exercising our rights – indeed for acting
upon our obligations as citizens! In my July 14, 2000 letter to USF’s President Judy Genshaft, sent to her just
about a week after her arrival on campus, I clearly stated, “The unlawful system overshadows the legitimate one
and seems to have all but overtaken it. As a family, we have found that our best self-defense is to speak out
and to expose the wrongdoing, which has always intensified the onslaught, but only up to a point.” As I wrote
those words, I had already seen that others of our opposition would try to get at me through the University –
because that had already happened -- however, I did not foresee the unlawful, malicious, vicious onslaught
against me that would come from the University itself, all the while declaring what a valuable employee I am.
USF has made itself an institution of higher tyranny and terrorization, not higher learning….

They had found out that if they so much as stuck their head out of the house, they would be shot

The Weaver family had been besieged. Fourteen-year-old Sam lay dead in an outbuilding, the same place his
baby sister Elishaba had been born some months prior. Scouting around outside, Randy Weaver went to the
building to see his son’s body once more. As he placed his hand on the latch above his head, he was shot from
behind. His wife, Vicky Weaver – grieving mother of Sam – shouted for Randy and the children to come into the
house. As she stood in or near the doorway to their simple, handmade cabin, ushering her family inside, to
safety, a federal agent shot her through the head, the same bullet doing additional damage that turned life-
threatening to others closeby. Down the mountain, at a roadblock, neighbors, and eventually others from around
the nation, held vigil. When they finally learned, days later of the deaths of Sam Weaver and his mother Vicky
Weaver, outrage, grief, indignation, poured out. Ruby Ridge, and a few months later, the federal siege and burn
out of the Branch Davidians at Waco, Texas, initialized this entire country to the terrifying reality that citizens are
not safe from the out-of-control, tyrannical government, not even in our own homes. Not even people in the
mountains trying to mind their own business. Not even people in houses of worship.

Both events happened prior to William R. “Bill” Webb’s October 18, 1994, 10:16 a.m., unlawful, attempted-
murder, terrorist raid on my elderly, heart-patient parents in their isolated home in the woods that was carried out
through Sheriff Lee Cannon and Bill Webb’s reciprocal benefactor State Attorney Bernie McCabe. Without
lawful excuse, Bill Webb merely picks up the phone, calls the sheriff, calls the state attorney, calls whomever…
and his bidding is done, no questions asked, and the law be damned, including, of course, the rights of those
with less power or prestige in the community. It takes a community to make a crooked public official…. The
knock at the door of my parent’s home the morning of October 18, 1994, was accompanied by having already
seen what the government could do and get by with it – both what had already been happening to my parents
and theirs since late December 1987, and what they had witnessed, through the captive media, of Ruby Ridge
and Waco. Even with all that, my mother Ruth Elvada Denniston Blevins said to my father that maybe they
should answer the door. My father warned against it, whispering, “Bill Webb is behind this!” And as it turned
out, indeed, he was!
My parents were convinced their lives were saved by not answering the door – sticking their heads out – where
they were convinced they would be shot dead on sight. It happened in the community of Ruby Ridge, Idaho:
why not in Hudson, Florida? By keeping quiet and keeping the door between them and the terrorists, my
parents’ lives were spared: true of October 18, 1994 and true of October 15, 1996, and there were other
terrifying experiences from the subversive government. They came and went freely on my parents’ nearly nine-
acre, heavily wooded, private estate. You figure to have your very own dog-eared-by-you copy of my father’s
letter of December 7, 1997, and from that you may garner more detailed information of the aforesaid. Here, it
suffices to say that this was an attempt to murder my parents on both occasions, even though they kept the door
shut: the terrorization itself was attempted murder, no less. The mere presence of the sheriff’s deputies under
those conditions presented a lethal force, and Bill Webb, as well as his aiders and abettors, bear the
responsibility for knowing as much. What is hard to understand is that even though the federal and state
governments have backed Bill Webb, why it is that they have not admitted that they should not have done so,
and why they have not gone after him.

She made them all mad as hornets. I was proud of her. Still am.

The foregoing was Randy Weaver’s observation in the documentary about his wife Vicky Weaver’s letter-writing
campaign to federal officials and others. Without regard to what she said, or whether anyone agrees with it, is
there not a beauty in her exercising her right to express her views freely? In her voice? How much of this gets
utterly extinguished in the doctrine of political correctness? Do not thoughts and beliefs – like a pendulum –
sometimes need to swing between extremes before settling within a more confined range?

My September 23, 1999 letter to Governor Jeb Bush started out as follows:

Your father sure has gotten a lot of powerful people upset….

A most trusted and valued counselor shared the foregoing with me recently. When I conveyed the information to
my father, his response was, “Splendid! The more upset they are, the better I like it!” You see, we suspect that
a lot of powerful people are upset, but for different reasons. In the end, it is a question of how those people
react to being upset that will be important and that will stand the test of time.

Robert F. Blevins, my father, has asked me to take over the reigns (sic) on this whole matter for a while so he
can rest and regain his strength.

Since that time, my father has been hospitalized at least twice, near death, and now has a very serious heart
problem, just as had my mother Ruth Elvada Denniston Blevins as she was under relentless assault by William
R. “Bill” Webb and his aiders and abettors.

No lawful excuse

It cannot be said too often that, whereas in regard to Ruby Ridge and Waco, the government came up with
something that could be called an excuse – never mind whether it held up over time -- in regard to my parents
and theirs, the government has never so much as offered an excuse. Therein lies the volatile truth: the
government does not require itself to have an excuse to bully us out, shoot us out, burn us out of even our own
homes, and there are apparently very few citizens willing to put their all on the line – their lives, their livelihoods,
their professional associations, their careers, everything – to oppose such tyranny. Indeed, we have been
faulted for so doing, and have even been further assaulted for so doing. The devastating doctrine of political
correctness, and the comfort of fat paychecks, full bellies, nice cars, percs of all kinds, at once seduces and
entices to a gang-rape mentality as those self-declared to be above the law, target others to not even be so
much as law worthy. Ghastly. Sinister. A clear and present reality for me and for mine, as innocent victims of
the aforesaid – not victims of a system that has gone wild or crazy, but victims of a system that is very, very
much in control, subversively so. Treasonously so.
As for my family and myself, we agree with Thomas Jefferson: “Resistance to tyrants is service to God.”

Very truly yours,

Kimberly A. Blevins

p.s. I see that in one of my earlier items of correspondence today, I referred to Bill Webb as a “which” rather than
a “whom.” So noted, but not corrected.

p.s.s Also, in regard to my statement to general counsel Noreen Segrest, “I am returning the letter, unopened.
If you re-issue it or any other correspondence to me, you will – and I repeat will – address the correspondence
properly, inside and out, or it, too, will be returned, unopened!” I will only say that humor has a way of finding
itself into even the most serious matters, and the most serious matters require humor, so indicates such notable
authorities as Abraham Lincoln and the Holy Bible, no less: not bad company, either way.
