“We were set up…they had an ambush set up for us"

Shawna Cox and Victoria Sharp have been consistent in the interviews giving their witness statements.

How can we allow this to be normal behavior by the "authorities"? Will you stand with the Patriots?

Can you tell me what this is about?

As it is here, it makes as much sense as "someone set us up the bomb."

[higgmeister]

I just noticed Harney County, it must be about the guys in the Pacific Northwest.

Slight sympathy for you, my Great Grandfather tried to fight against the Feds and it didn't work out very well.

The Clintons set fire to the Branch Davidians’ home in Waco and burned to death dozens of people, including 24 children. So killing a rebel rancher here and there is nothing to the enforcers of the Big Government religion. Bill Clinton and Janet Reno would have been charged with a war crime had this massacre been visited upon civilians of a foreign country, but it didn’t bother the Demcrat media at all, and the sheeple watched TV.

[azkathy]

Sure I can. Have you heard of the “Occupiers at the Wildlife Refuge” ? Or the Arizona Rancher who was killed in Oregon (Lavoy Finicum)? Well this is their side of the story from eye witnesses who know what happened.

This is from a friend on Facebook,
“THIS IS THE TRUTH ABOUT WHY OREGON STATE POLICE, HARNEY COUNTY SHERIFF AND THE FEDS CONSPIRED TO ASSASSINATE LAVOY. HE WAS KILLED BECAUSE HE WAS EDUCATING PEOPLE!

Further confirmation as to why the feds needed to stop LaVoy and Ammon.

Hundreds of people were freely coming into the refuge to get education on their rights. Many group presentations were given each day. On Saturday, the 24th, ten ranchers from Oregon, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona nullified their grazing contracts with the BLM and U.S. Forest Service.

On Saturday, the 24th, grand jury administrators from Nebraska and Florida were forming a grand jury to review the abuses in the Hammond case. Tuesday, the 26th, the day LaVoy was killed, we began releasing documents exposing criminal acts by the government.

The evening of the 26th, a meeting was scheduled with Grant County residents to give a presentation with those at the refuge. To give their presentation to hundreds of people in the county, including the county Sheriff.

The FBI attacked those who were to give the presentation on the way to this peaceful meeting, leaving hundreds at the meeting with no speakers.

On Wednesday, the 28th, a follow up meeting was scheduled with Harney County residents with those at the refuge to finalize actions to claim back lands that were taken by the BLM, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and United States Forest Service. This included plans to take action to begin logging again in Harney County and to restore the thriving economy once known to the Harney County residents.

On Thursday evening, the 29th, a meeting was scheduled with Malheur County residents with those at the refuge to give a presentation on the constitution as it pertained to federal limits to land ownership inside the states.

This meeting was to occur in Ontario, Oregon. Hundreds were expected to attend. The sheriff’s Department also accepted the invitation and was scheduled to attend.

On Friday afternoon, the 30th, residents surrounding Jordan Valley, Oregon, had scheduled a seminar with those at the refuge to come out and inform them of how they can protect themselves from a national monument that is to be signed in by President Obama this year, 2016. This monument is twice the size of Yellowstone, takes up a third of the county’s land mass, and will put over 250 ranchers out of business as they know it. Ranchers from Malheur county were scheduled to nullify their contracts with the U.S. Forest Service.

In the following weeks, meetings were scheduled in Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and the State of Washington. Multiple Skype meetings were also set up throughout the Western U.S. All these meetings were to discuss how they would stand against the unconstitutional land control by the federal government.

Those at the refuge collected over 50 testimonies of ranchers who lost their family property to the U.S. Government in Harney and surrounding counties. Hundreds of government documents were compiled by those at the refuge. Many of the documents exposed abusive actions by federal government officials, Judge Grasty, Harney County Sheriff’s Department and direct abuses to the Hammond family.

Escalation of force from the FBI, OSP, and the Sheriff’s Department incrementally increased as the education from the refuge expanded. Government officials knew that if they did not take forceful preemptive action to stop the expanding the influence of the refuge, many would begin to stand for land rights as protected by the United States Constitution. Make no mistake about it: those that were educating at the refuge and are now suffering in jail at this time are political prisoners.

Those at the refuge never pointed a gun and never pulled a trigger to kill. They chose to educate, giving others the freedom to choose. The government promoted fear and forceful tactics to control and stop this education. And ultimately, they used force by the barrel of the gun.”

PING!
Rallies are being held in over 40 states on March 5th in support of LaVoy Finicum and all the other Patriots jailed unconstitutionally.

The overwhelming impression I get from reading this account is that the US Government is very afraid of the people and are acting out accordingly.

Thanks for posting,AZKathy.
Updates on the 68 warrants?

[azkathy]

No updates on arrests yet. Please pray there are no more. Clivens youngest son is left to run the ranch and shoulder all this. He is only 18.

I did learn today that the families were able to get some of the vehicles and personal belongings out of the refuge and the lawyers for the defense have been gathering what evidence they can from the refuge.

I know that photographic evidence is being gathered and given to the attorneys as well.

[Hostage]

I’m sympathetic, but I want to know one thing.

If this assembly of ranchers had a purpose to educate and advocate for affected communities, then why was it necessary to occupy a federal building that had been closed down for the season?

[rockinqsranch]

In reflection of past atrocities I note it’s always Democrats. Always.

[azkathy]

I believe they decided they had to bring attention to the plight of the ranchers, Dwight and Steven Hammond from Harney County Oregon. (They were illegally re-sentenced to additional jail time after serving their original sentences, AKA Double jeopardy for starting a back burn.)

There are literally hundreds if not thousands of these stories of Ranchers suffering under the heavy hands of these federal agencies with no recourse. I believe they thought an act of civil disobedience would educate and help bring to light all of the problems. They just didn’t think they would get killed for doing it.

In the video I saw of Mr. Finicum’s shooting; he got out of
his vehicle, put his hands up, and was shot dead. - He had
made a video in which he pointed out that the federal gov.
is limited in the amount of land it can legally own. Owning
that grazing land is very high-handed; looks like it was just seized in order to charge “fees” on it for grazing
“rights”. - People are too busy with their noses stuck in
the tee-vee set & sports events to ever get a clue.

Leaving the area wasn’t smart. The protestors had to know the feds were watching. Did they think the obama regime was gonna treat them like lib occuppyers!

[Bob434]

sadly hardly anyone even cares about this any more- they are more interested in rubio and trump acting like children calling each other names than they are about gov sanctioned attack on peaceful protesters - Had this happened under a republican president, the msm would be screaming bloody hell- and they’d be all over it still

Waco was a travesty, and people were shocked it happened, but the MSM spun it in such a manner as to seem like there was no other recourse to take- with finnicum murder- the msm hardly even mentions it and they sure as heck aint gonna run the eye witness testimony of those who somehow, miraculously, escaped begin taken out by their own government

We are now in an age of “Oh well, let’s move on’ where nothign matters- nothign shocks anymore- nothing moves people-

Hell- Christie is obviously brown nosing someone he ripped just a little while ago, everyone knows he’s brown nosing, and noone even cares anymore and He’s not even ashamed he’s doing it- that’s how far this country has sunk- there is no sense of shame any longer!

This incident/ambush should be a major shameful blight on this president’s ‘legacy’ yet it won’t even affect him in any way shape or form
