Palms is a real estate agent and lawyer so maybe she would like to drive Conway off the land and get rid of what she thinks is a unfriendly neighbor.


Palms had Conway arrested for trespassing and entering his home.

If you wake up with your next door neighbor in your home uninvited, and refusing to leave...
are YOU trying to drive HIM off his land??? Or the other way around???

The SO CALLED "Mountain Man" Scam!

"Authenticity Questions"

As the old expression goes:
"There's a sucker born every minute!"
~ Mountain Men raises authenticity questions with each new show ~


Speaking of HOAX'S, ABC dupes the suckers every day.  And people like box worship these hucksters.


Quoted Text
ABC broadcast edits out Michelle Obama claim that Chicago teen was killed by an ‘automatic weapon’

In an interview with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts aired this morning, First Lady Michelle Obama recalled the tragic death of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton who was shot and killed in Chicago after performing during the President’s Inauguration celebration in Washington D.C.

“She was caught in the line of fire because some kids had some automatic weapons they didn’t need,” the First Lady explained. “I just don’t want to keep disappointing our kids in this country. I want them to know that we put them first.”

Chicago police reported, however, that Pendleton was shot by a man who “opened fire with a handgun before fleeing in a waiting car.”

It is extremely unlikely that the murder weapon was an automatic handgun, an extremely rare occurrence, even in the streets of Chicago. An overwhelming majority of handguns bought and sold in America are semi-automatic. Police officials have not recovered the firearm, but prosecutors stated that the accused attacker shot “at least six times” into the crowd.

The dispute between Palms and Conway started over the property line between their properties. Conway was wrong to have trespassed on Palms' property but IMHO he got upset trying to fight city hall. Palms has the finances to push her agenda and if money were dynamite Conway couldn't blow his nose.

Henry got scammed and now he's trying to put a 'noble' face on it.  

This mountain man is just one more huxter with a gullible following.  He's no more a 'mountain man' than
I am... but he sure got a lot of mileage (and dollars) out of the hoax!


Sure, a 26 year hoax.

You just hate freedom.

A property dispute???

Shadow.  If you and a neighbor were in the midst of a "property dispute" and the neighbor entered your
home... not just set foot on your lawn, BUT ENTERED YOUR HOME AFTER BEING WARNED NOT TO
ENTER OR REMAIN ON YOUR PROPERTY... and (out of fear for your life) you shot him as he was entering
your home... do you think you would be with in your rights???

Who is Eustace Conway and why is he a threat?
Folks… This one’s important. Please take the time to read this in its entirety, and if you’re so inclined to take action below. Trey & Coley

Update: Sunday night… The response to this has been overwhelming. We’ve had over 25,000 visits in the past 4 days. We talked to Eustace Conway last night and will be publishing a letter from him tomorrow expressing his thanks. And if you would, please “like” us on Facebook by clicking the “like” button about halfway down the right side of this page. This will ensure that this story will continue to be shared far and wide. Thanks!

Update: Monday afternoon… Letter from Eustace Conway here.

Government should serve the people. Unfortunately, over time the nature of government is to grow beyond its usefulness. It becomes unhealthy and obese.

When our country was formed it was based on awesome ideals. The flag and the national anthem represented those ideals. So far so good. But over time those ideals slip further and further away until all we are left with is a song, a flag and a government that has lost touch with its fundamental purpose.

As government continuously increases it’s control over every aspect of our lives we lose more and more of our freedoms. What threatens the growth of government? Is it the fiscal cliff we are hearing about in the news?  Is it the citizen anger over government bailouts? Is it the loss of faith in central planning?  How about the debasement of our currency?  How about the growing concern over the government trampling our civil liberties?  Is it Tea Party or Occupy Wall Street protests?

No. When we’re angry we’re still engaged… We still show up to vote for this candidate or that candidate and expect them to right the ship.

The real threat to government is when it is ignored. When we turn our backs on it and demonstrate that we no longer need it.

Like an incorrigible narcissist, government demands our attention. When citizens no longer feel the need to bow in adoration, fear, or submission, government takes great offense.

But what if that wasn’t the case? What if we learned how to take care of ourselves?  To become more self-reliant? More resilient? What if we didn’t need government deciding everything for us?

For government at all levels such thoughts are hugely threatening and when such subversive thinking surfaces government can be swift to react. Case in point: Turtle Island Preserve.




On September 19th, nearly a dozen local government agents (many armed) stormed Turtle Island Preserve.

The agents barged into Eustace’s living room unannounced, uninvited, and unwelcome.  They presented him with a search warrant. Government vehicles blocked his private road and agents armed with topographical maps, aerial photographs, laptops and GPS equipment spent most of the day on Eustace’s property violating his privacy and photographing his buildings and homes.

What prompted such an extreme government response? Simple: Eustace Conway refused to bow before the altar of county government officials. The buildings on Conway’s property are constructed using traditional American heritage methods that Conway has kept alive and well. Such methods are apparently “unacceptable” to the county officials. According to Conway:


“…the very building techniques that all of our ancestors thrived with are now being deemed unacceptable and targeted as ‘illegal’ because they don’t fit into the cookie-cutter code status that is so extremely far from what we are about. The buildings and lifestyle of our working farm and education center teach about true American freedom. The invasive attack was a surreal wake-up call to the illusion of the American myth: “Land of the free.”

The threat Eustace Conway’s Turtle Island Preserve represents has nothing to do with building or health code violations.  Those are simply a pretense… What it really has to do with is something government finds threatening: Independence, freedom and self reliance.

And this is exactly what Conway personifies and teaches to others. But the story of Turtle Island Preserve gets more interesting…

The land at Conway’s Turtle Island preserve is becoming more valuable. A huge development project called Laurelmor just over the ridge from Conway’s property was slated for golf courses and million dollar, debt-fueled McMansions before the project went bankrupt when the real estate bubble burst in 2008.


Proposed Laurelmor entrance

It was later sold for $32 million to a second group of developers. When the original Laurelmor plan was proposed, the county manager, in a moment of bureaucratic giddiness, boasted that the project “could add a significant amount to the tax base”, and “could have a property value of between $2.5 and $3.5 billion.”

The government would make a lot more money if the land was developed.

Conway is a threat because he represents true independence and freedom, but he’s also being victimized because the valuable land he owns makes the tax feeding class salivate. The first step to gaining control over his land is for local government to issue a litany of penny-ante “code” violations. This is how predatory government often works… Even at the local level.

Sadly Turtle Island Preserve has now been closed… And Conway has been forced to lawyer up — an exceedingly distasteful prospect for a guy that lives in the woods, shoes his own horses, builds his own house, and grows and kills his own food.

But we can do something about it. Please go to Change.org now and sign the petition in support of Turtle Island Preserve. Petitions will be presented to the Chairman of the North Carolina Building Codes Council on December 10th, so we don’t have much time.

You can also stay up-to-date on the situation through the Turtle Island Preserve page on Facebook.

While you’re at it, call the Watauga County Planning & Inspections Department (828-265-8043) and the Appalachian District Health Department (828.264.4995) and let them know exactly what you think of their shenanigans.

And be sure to forward this story to as many friends and colleagues as possible. Folks like Eustace Conway are a rare treasure because they represent what freedom, liberty and self-reliance are all about. Take five minutes and make your voice heard… It will make a difference.
