I’m not against his intervention, but why is he not getting involved?
Politics and politicians can’t handle protest movements with uncertain endings that the media deems ‘controversial’ and involve ‘militants’.
JFK tried to shut down MLK’s protests all the time ending up using the FBI, yeah the same organization on the ground in Oregon right now, to spy on King’s sexual encounters.
After JFK died, the Johnson FBI sent MLK an audio ‘sex tape’ around this time in the presidential election year, 1964. The tape was a way to tell King to quiet down protest.
The Civil Rights Movement decided to curtail protest in July 1964 to help Johnson, who had just delivered them the Civil Rights Act.
The protests would resume in 1965.
You’re kidding, right? There’s no way Trump would touch this issue with a 10-foot pole.
There’s absolutely nothing new or unique to what’s going on in Oregon. Nothing new about what the government is doing and nothing new about the lack of detailed news coverage. The same thing happened when I lived in Alaska in 1980 and, in complete violation of the Alaska Statehood Act, the federal government took control of 157 MILLION acres of land in the state of Alaska and set it aside for national parks, national monuments, national wildlife refuges, etc., etc., etc. According to the Alaska Statehood Act, the state was to have 50 years (until 2009) to select 104 million acres of land that was to remain under the control of the state. In setting aside that land, the federal government put an estimated 20-30,000 people out of work - in a state of only 400,000 people at the time.
