Arrival of rifle-toting 'Patriots' breaks relative calm at Oregon standoff compound

Those guys with beards and ballcaps at the FBI compound are not the decision makers.

Remember! Bill Clinton rained fire and brimstone down on the Waco compound through his Attorney General, Janet Reno!

Obama has a front man right now to urge the protest to end.

Sheriff Dave Ward looks like one of the locals.

Businessman Tim Smith, who got on the safety committee, happens to be Vice-Chairman of the local Republican Party.

Smith says he ‘cares about the issue” and wants to ‘start a movement’.

But I think he represents the Republicans desire to take over the issue and manipulate people’s feelings like they do with everything else they never do anything about like Obamacare.

The Bundy’s and friends have gotten the nation’s attention by doing what they did with a protest that’s beyond the control of the political system and the political machine.

You saw exactly how they would respond to a front door roll up. Wonder who was minding the back door? ................................. How many more were placed in the out buildings with scoped rifles? Neither side wants trouble, the see each other in the faces of their opponents. The only ones who want trouble are the members of the Media so they can spread more hatred.

How would YOU know what a Republican in Eastern Oregon wants to do?

[Nextrush]

My sense of history and political realities says major parties are afraid of anyone outside their control.

The Kennedy’s-Democrats were scared to death of racial violence and losing white votes because of Martin Luther King’s activities in the early 1960’s.

That’s why the FBI was recording MLK’s sexual activities on audio tape.

The Republicans are just as scared of violence today that would cause them to lose ‘moderate votes’ and I think Republican leaders everywhere including Eastern Oregon know this.

ALL REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES HAVE CALLED ON THE PROTESTORS TO LEAVE......

Its a fact that the co-chairman of the Republican Party in Harney County, Oregon, Tim Smith, wants the protest to end at the wildlife refuge and has signed a letter to that effect.

Without that protest, the plight of the Hammond’s and other land owners would not have been raised to the level of attention its getting and there would be no chance of anything really changing.

The Oregonian is a posting nothing but nonsense. If they post a truth at all, it's a half-truth for example: "The people of Burns want Bundy to leave!" Well, all the people in the surrounding areas, including the ranchers, want Bundy to stay and the Feds to leave. So they're only telling half of that story. Did you see Santilli confront the Oregonian reporter yesterday afternoon during the live feed? She looked like a little college snot. She made her snide remarks to him and then actually ran away.

Here is a link to Santilli's interview last night with Brandon Curtiss of the Idaho III Percenters group that showed up at the refuge last night. Curtiss was one of the men who went out to talk face to face with the FBI. He is a former police officer. He gives the whole backstory in this interview and explains why they did what they did yesterday. They had no intention of joining the occupation protest inside the refuge, but they did want to go and talk to Bundy about their intentions and their concerns with things that had been going on (see * below). The media has spun this into: "They arrived and were told by Bundy to leave!" Actually, the truth is, the lawyers from Utah wanted them to leave because "The media is going to spin this into an escalation!" So who is causing the escalation? The Idaho 3%, or the media? Listen and then decide if these guys are a bunch of backwoods yahoos playing weekend shoot-em-up "because 'Murica ya'll!" as the Oregonian and other media would like you to believe. I think not.

* They have had problems out at the refuge with some disturbed people showing up, causing trouble and wanting to kick something off. They keep talking about "Louie the Prepper," who appeared at the refuge the other night and got into a fist fight with the guys guarding the front gate. I don't know who "Louie the Prepper" is, but it appears he is well-known to all of them and that he was causing problems during the Bundy Ranch dispute as well.

I don't know who "Louie the Prepper" is, ,I'd like find out myself..
