My take would be that there would have to have been a serious propaganda effort to precede this - that they were burning korans or some such - or putting anti-islamic videos on youtube (is that guy still in jail btw?) or shooting at BLM or what have you - I can’t imagine this just happening basically out of the blue.

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

John Jacob [Dingleheimer] Schmidt of Radio Free Redoubt said that according to Stewart Rhodes, founder of Oath Keepers... [Schmidt said] the information came from a source Oath Keepers has within the Department of Defense.

Curses, Tinfoiled Again!

Unlikely - but then again who would of thought our government would burn children alive at WACO...

I hope you’re not a betting man because your esteem of the RATS is waaaaaaay too high.

I have no doubt that if Obama and Holder could fabricate a suitable charge against Bundy, they would go in with all that they have to take out everyone at the ranch, in the interests of “security.” They would also prime the press with the details of their rationale.

You may be right but I would hope that the voting public in their districts would demand action.

After all if the government can do that to one citizen they can do it to all.

Jap zeros?....What Jap zeros?

I wouldn’t put it past Holder but even he has enough native intelligence to know CWII would go hot immediately. He would personally be on a hit list at that point.

[HMS Surprise]

If this happens, it’s clobberin’ time. Failure to act after such an evil act would only invite more of the same, and be a tacit admission of surrender to tyranny.

[jyro]

would’t that start a war?

allegedly said Attorney General Eric Holder authorized what is known as a "hot drone strike" against the ranch. Such a strike, he added would effectively kill everyone at the ranch.

All of the hysterics over drones is absurd. This statement takes it to the next level. The feds aren't dumb enough to start assassinating U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. Holder hasn't been given the ultimate power of being judge, jury and executioner of U.S. citizens on U.S. soil no matter how much paranoia is flung around about "Armed Drones". I also wasn't aware that drones carried napalm or 500+ pound bombs that could possibly erase all of the people at the Bundy Ranch (this actually might be possible but I have not yet read of this capability). Hellfire missiles, which are what drones have usually been outfitted with, are not an area effect munition. Their original intent was as an ASM to attack heavily armored ground targets. While I suppose they could be retrofitted with HE warheads, that would be an awful waste of such a weapon and would still not carry enough high explosives to kill everyone around the Bundy Ranch unless they were all bunched up in a very small area at the same time. The Viper Strike GBU-44/b is more or less a lighter weapon that is used on the Predator and neither weigh over 50Kg, which still leads me to believe that the statement above is unbelievably absurd. Even if several Predators were to release multiple weapons at the same time, Their use in attempting to "effectively kill everyone in the area" would be akin to attempting to kill a herd of 500 head of cattle by throwing a few dozen sticks of dynamite at the herd, IMO.

Really, why would the government be incredibly all out dumb enough to toss out any last vestige of credibility it has remaining in the eyes of those who are paying attention?

He’s a dedicated revolutionary.

Therefore, whether he would be on any list is irrelevant to him. Besides, he’s surrounded by his Praetorian Guard.

"It would be an official declaration of war on the American people by the American government. I would respond accordingly.

The corrupt and hated, EXEMPT Congress has already
declared war on the citizens by their miserable abdication.

[GOPJ]

The good thing is the press isn’t as credible as it use to be... and our voices are stronger.

[SgtHooper]

“The feds aren’t dumb enough to start PUBLICLY assassinating U.S. citizens on U.S. soil.”

There, fixed it.

[Texas Songwriter]

Janet Reno ordere Bradley tanks to attack the compound in Waco, Texas.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Yes, I will take that with a grain of salt. If I wake up tomorrow morning and FOX News tells me there was a drone assault on the ranch, I will eat my hat.

In the meantime . . .
