Right or Wrong its happening now......
Why not also occupy the miscreant court? The Judge and the prosecutor are clearly the guilty parties.
How many politicians have called for more gun control over this?
I guess the leftist finally have that White, Right Wing militia incident.
I bet they are labeled domestic terrorist (As they should be)and not engaging in work place violence
I can’t follow the logic in this one. Does anyone know what the FACTS are? I can’t believe CWII kicks off for something this stupid.
These wanna bee are not going to have a happy ending.
One thing to defend your own property quite another to burn federal lands
That said, prayers for the good guys, soetoro is about ready to make an example.
Some late reporting before I bed down for the night....this is some of the latest update from “The Oregonian/Oregon Live” website:
“Among those joining Bundy in the occupation are Ryan Payne, US Army veteran, and Blaine Cooper. Payne has claimed to help organize militia snipers to target federal agents in a standoff last year in Nevada. He told one news organization the federal agents would have been killed had they made the wrong move.
He has been a steady presence in Burns in recent weeks, questioning people who were critical of the militia’s presence. He typically had a holstered sidearm as he move around the community.
At a community meeting in Burns Friday, Payne disavowed any ill intent.
‘The agenda is to uphold the Constitution. That’s all’ he said.
Cooper, another militia leader, said at the meeting he participated in the Bundy standoff in Nevada.
‘I went there to defend Cliven with my life’, Cooper said.”
A hundred people plan on staying there for years? How much food did they bring with them? What happens when the power to the building is shut off?
Not buying it. “Yeearrrghh!”
Wish they occupied the White Hut!
I don’t understand.
Is their problem with the US Fish and Wildlife Service (who manage the refuge), the US Forest Service (who manage Malheur National Forest), or the Bureau of Land Management (who manage Steens Mountain)?
They’re three totally different agencies. It’s like protesting the FBI by camping out in front of the Pentagon.
The only thing I can think of is an unoccupied ROTC building that got OCCUPIED by some Black Panthers a few years back. I think one of them later became the Attorney General of the Country. But I dont think this one is gonna work out like that one did.
Here's a bit from the Conservative Treehouse.
Some slanting, I am sure, but it does sound like another government overreach.
Snippets:
(a1) By the 1970's nearly all the ranches adjacent to the Blitzen Valley were purchased by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and added to the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge covers over 187,000 acres and stretches over 45 miles long and 37 miles wide. The expansion of the refuge grew and surrounds to the Hammond's ranch. Being approached many times by the FWS, the Hammonds refused to sell. Other ranchers also choose not to sell.
(a2) During the 1970's the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), in conjunction with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), took a different approach to get the ranchers to sell. Ranchers were told that, "grazing was detrimental to wildlife and must be reduced". 32 out of 53 permits were revoked and many ranchers were forced to leave. Grazing fees were raised significantly for those who were allowed to remain. Refuge personnel took over the irrigation system claiming it as their own.
(a4) By the 1990's the Hammonds were one of the very few ranchers that still owned private property adjacent to the refuge. Susie Hammond in an effort to make sense of what was going on began compiling fact about the refuge. In a hidden public record she found a study that was done by the FWS in 1975. The study showed that the "no use" policies of the FWS on the refuge were causing the wildlife to leave the refuge and move to private property. The study showed that the private property adjacent to the Malheur Wildlife Refuge produced 4 times more ducks and geese than the refuge did. It also showed that the migrating birds were 13 times more likely to land on private property than on the refuge. When Susie brought this to the attention of the FWS and refuge personnel, her and her family became the subjects of a long train of abuses and corruptions.
