4. Elko, Nevada

In 1869 the railroad tried to promote this small town site for Nevada’s White Pine mines, but it soon became known as a cowboy town because of the many cattle ranches in the area.

World famous saddle and spur maker G.S. Garcia, who moved his saddle shop to Elko from my home town of San Luis Obispo, California, in 1893, did so because of all the cowboys living near here. He became very successful. Garcia saddles and spurs are highly collectible and are sought after by western gear collectors all over the world. Will Rogers and Teddy Roosevelt are just two of the famous people who have settled their posteriors into the hand tooled, silver trimmed cantle of a Garcia saddle. You can see many of his early saddles and handmade gear here in J.M. Capriola’s upstairs museum.

Thousands of cowboys and cowgirls descend on this little town each year for the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering.

IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO JAIL, CHANCES ARE YOU'VE NEVER FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT AND SPOKEN OUT AGAINST THE AUTHORITIES' RAMPANT ABUSES OF THE LAST 30 YEARS. THOSE RIGHTS THE "WAR ON DRUGS" DIDN'T TAKE AWAY THE "WAR ON TERROR" WILL. EVEN AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.

EVERY TIME I'VE BEEN IN JAIL, IT RESULTED FROM SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES. NO MATTER WHAT THE CHARGE WAS. THE "POLICE" NEVER HAVE TO LOOK TOO FAR TO FIND SOMETHING THEY CAN CHARGE YOU WITH WHEN THERE'S A LAW AGAINST EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO OR POSSIBLY THINK OF DOING.

THEY GET MAD WHEN I CALL THEM COMMUNISTS THEN GO AND PROVE THERE'S NOT A DIME'S WORTH OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM AND THE COMMUNISTS.

I HAVE NOW BATTLED ELKO COUNTY, NEVADA FOR SEVEN YEARS. Because I tell the truth about how bottomlessly corrupt the sheriff (Jim Pitts - elkosheriff@elkocountynv.net - fax: 775-753-9845) and the Elko County commissioners (Jeff Williams - my millionaire mormon bishop cousin - rjeffwilliams1@hotmail.com - 775-738-2405) are. As well as the local gold mines Barrick (nevadajobs@barrick.com - fax: 775-748-1255) and Newmont (fax: 303-837-5837) who regularly BRIBE THESE OFFICIALS.

THESE CRIMINALS HAVE:

- PLACED ME ON A COUNTY-WIDE BLACKLIST TO STARVE ME OUT (I left a great job in Sacramento to live with my 85 year old mother, ELLEN BERRY, who wants to spend her last years in the house where she raised her kids). THIS BLACKLIST IS THE REASON I DECIDED TO GO ALL OUT - NOW THAT 100,000+ PEOPLE ARE VISITING DEANBERRYMINISTRIES.US - AND LET THE WORLD KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING TO MY FAMILY IN ELKO COUNTY, NEVADA, SUPPOSEDLY PART OF A "FREE COUNTRY". ONLY THE RICH AND THE AUTHORITIES WHO WORK FOR THEM ARE FREE. JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER COUNTRY ON EARTH - INDIA, MEXICO, SUDAN, MALAYSIA, ETHIOPIA, RED CHINA, AND THE BULK OF LATIN AND SOUTH AMERICA.
- Had deputies TRY to harrass me on several occasions. One redhaired female sergeant (I think you know who I'm talking about) even implied that she'd get ahold of the Dept Of Aging to have Mom removed from our home. A "conservative" cop, mind you, somebody who's supposedly against the encroachment of Big Brother Government. ELKOANS ARE ALWAYS WHINING ABOUT THE CALIFORNICATION OF NEVADA BUT OUR "LAW ENFORCEMENT" AND "PUBLIC SAFETY" AGENCIES ARE BEING MODELED AFTER CALIFORNIA'S.
- Used a "witness" in their employ and a MEXICAN ALIEN to convict me of battery even though the evidence and testimony clearly indicated I was DEFENDING myself. You can read those transcripts here: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/102112974/NO-JUSTICE-IN-ELKO-COUNTY-NEVADA?.
- Recently had me placed under surveillance because I made them aware that MORE THAN 100,000 PEOPLE A MONTH ARE VISITING DEAN BERRY MINISTRIES and they can read how evil and corrupt the REDNECK MORMONS WHO CONTROL ELKO COUNTY, NEVADA, are.
- Subsequently arrested me for DUI, WHICH I'D NEVER BEEN PICKED UP FOR IF DEPUTIES HADN'T BEEN STALKING ME. (And, quite tellingly, I haven't see those two deputies again. Because they were only in Wells for one reason, to follow me until the could get something on me.)
- Then, to top it all off, Friday Dec 7th (FOUR DAYS AFTER MY DUI ARREST), Monroe of the Nevada Highway Patrol cited me for failure to yield, whatever that means. S/he most likely would have let me off with a warning if two of the local CHICKENSHITS-DISGUISED-AS-DEPUTIES (one of them was PANTLOAD THORNAL, a mulatto) hadn't pulled up and put a bug in Monroe's ear about me calling them out as communists. WHICH THEY PROVE EVERY TIME THEY PLACE ME UNDER SURVEILLANCE AND ARREST ME. DUH! THE DOLTISH REDNECKS ARE NOT QUITE GETTING THIS. Also, when Monroe found out my DUI court date was Jan 7, 2012, s/he made sure my court date for the failure to yield ticket was the very same day. THIS IS WHAT THE RUSSIAN COMMUNISTS DID TO THE DISSIDENTS
