BURNS--A knock on the front door awakened Susie Hammond....
She struggled out of bed, hobbled by an aching right hip, and limped to the front of her small house.....
"Susan?" one of them said. "My name is Ammon Bundy."
So began Hammond's passage from 75-year-old matriarch of an eastern Oregon ranching clan to reluctant symbol of the rural West's revolt against federal ownership of vast resource-rich rangeland.
Bundy often invoked the story of Hammond's husband, Dwight Jr. and their youngest son Steven, convicted of setting fires on public lands and ordered back to prison to serve out five-year sentences.....
Susie Hammond wasn't equally enamored of Ammon Bundy.
Her family didn't invite the attention and didn't want it, she said in her first extensive interview since Bundy launched his surprise occupation on Jan. 2....
But over the past year, Susie Hammond has changed. She's come to appreciate Bundy's stand and populist politicking.... his family's fight over cattle grazing rights in Nevada has parallels to her own family's conflict. She's tracked Bundy's arrest, trial and acquittal.......
The men, used to the wide open spaces of the high desert, live in a barracks-style building and share a bunk.....
"It's just cement and razor wire. I went down once. I'm not going again. I can't do anything about it," Susie Hammond said, her voice trailing off. "I just have to hope that the good Lord will keep them safe."
She paused, then added, "I think Dwight thinks his working life is over.".....
.. Rusty Hammond supported the Bundys from the start.....He was called as a witness by the Bundy defense at the trial, testifying that his father was threatened by the government for his contact with Ammon Bundy.
"Without the Bundys and their bunch," Rusty Hammond said, 'you wouldn't know the name of Hammond.".....

Here too I am worried. We live in the most beautiful northern Michigan location on some acreage in an area that is zoned on those agenda 21 maps as "little to no human use". As you said, we saved and have no mortgage, etc.
We thank God every day for the rednecks, hunters and open carrying patriots who live near us. And that Trump won.Hang in there, only 14 more days?
OK. The main purpose of Agenda 21 is to take the land away from private owners and save it for the ruling elite (who can then sell it's mining rights to foreign interests). So, instead of disagreeing, I would say both of us are correct.
The Sierra Club doesn’t give a tinker’s damn about ‘rewilding’ over half the planet. That is only the ‘justification’ for gaining control of parcels of land.
The main purpose of Agenda 21 is to “control” the people. Put them in “hives” surrounded by wildlands. movement by fast trains. It’s tied in to the One World movement. If you haven’t done so, check Agenda 21 speech on You Tube by the gal in CA. Wish I could recall her name.
You mean Alexandra Swann ?
Could be It’s been a long time since I saw the video.
