I was watching the live feed when this picture was taken. Gillipse had just told Mr. Bundy and the crowd that the BLM was standing down. He also said that he wanted to talk privately with Mr. Bundy to negotiate further.
This is when Mr. Bundy delivered his ultimatum that the Sheriff was to disarm the federal agents and place their weapons at the base of the flag that was flying near the podium. He gave the Sheriff one hour. Gillipse slid off the stage like a sidewinder.
Thanks for clearing that up...I needed to understand since Gillepsi opposed Bundy
YeH, and never to be heard from again.
That’s because Gillespie IS a sidewinder, the POS.
Rails are slowly trickling out about Senate Majority Leader Harry Reids 'secret', 'week-long' trip to China with 'other senators'. The lawmakers have given out minimal information about their itinerary because of supposed security concerns.
Harry Reids high-stakes China gamble.....Senators Chinese junket is shrouded in secrecy..There are junkets, and then there are junkets...
.....The next afternoon, to meet their stated goal of doing ...site visits of American investments in China"...... they took a ferry to . . . Macau, a tiny former 'Portuguese enclave' where "major Reid backer and Las Vegas gambling impresario 'Steve Wynn'"... and other American casino operators have invested big-time and profited enormously. 'Wynn Macau' is one of six casinos MGM Resorts International and Sheldon Adelsons Sands' China are also there 'allowed' in the gambling mecca, the only place in China with legal gambling. Anyone whos seen a James Bond movie knows casinos are home to an evil assortment of bad guys, assassins and terrorists even the entire Spectre headquarters.... Thats why the group would have tried to blend in with other tourists not an easy thing for 10 senators, 10 spouses, five staff members and assorted foreign service officers. Our invitation to the lunch, sent earlier this month to AmCham Macau Members only, says the U.S. consul general... and other consulate staff members also will be at the two-hour lunch, making it a great opportunity to sit down up close and personal for..... 'a private lunch' with distinguished members of the U.S. Senate. The Senate group included six other Democrats and three Republicans: Richard Shelby R-Ala.) Barbara Boxer (D-Calif) Dick Durbin (D-Ill) Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J) Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) Michael Bennet (D-Colo) Wang, whose government is in the midst of a major crackdown on dissident leaders, told Reid it was a great pleasure for me to have an opportunity to meet '10 heavyweight' U.S. senators, according to Xinhua News Agency.... Such a formulation alone reflected the weight you place on China-U.S. relations, Wang said. Indeed.http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/harry-reids-high-stakes-china-gamble/2011/04/21/AFGH8cKE_story.html#
