The message was out there but not received in a sympathetic manner.
= = =
It has been received 100% sympathetic in my household.
It hasn’t gotten any scan lines on MSM. And especially not any sympathetic responses.
Echo chamber / preaching to the choir is a failure to convert.
This is a play by play from people connected to the Patriots at the Refuge.

Jason Patrick on the phone with the FBI which is claiming to offer “safe passage” through the front entrance to the Refuge.
5:03 am EST 5:22 am EST 6:00 am EST
No new updates. Signals from the refuge appear to be jammed.
5:15 am EST
THE BUNDY RANCH IS CALLING FOR EVERYONE TO CHANGE THEIR FACEBOOK PROFILE PICTURES TO THE ‪#‎LIBERTYREVOLUTION‬ picture of Lavoy Finicum. You can find the photo on our FB page.
5:32 am EST
Militia members are still in their positions. FBI still has refuge surrounded.
6:20 am EST
Jason Patrick has told the media at the entrance of the refuge that the militia is prepared to defend themselves.
6:38 am EST
A member of the media has entered the compound and is now embedded with the militia.
6:43 am EST
Militia at the Refuge just told media that LaVoy Finicum was unarmed when he was shot and that his personal firearm is still at the Refuge where he left it before leaving for the day.
6:45 am EST
Militia members told media that they will shoot to kill if the FBI launches an armed invasion into the compound. “This is armageddon”.

6:53 am EST
Multiple militia report FBI vehicles moving in... militia members moving to positions.
6:56 am EST
FBI MOVING IN ON ALL SIDES
6:57 AM EST
People at the compound overheard saying they hope they are not slaughtered like the people at Ruby Ridge and Waco. They are extending love and well wishes to one another.
7:01 AM EST
My connection has gone dead. Hoping for it to be restored ASAP.
7:36 am EST
FBI holding latest positions have not moved in further. More media arriving. No fighting to report at this point. Fed vehicles still at a distance with lights off. At least 5 media outlets on the scene, including CNN.
8:16 am EST
Everything at a stand still. Militia at the refuge are still angry over the murder of LaVoy and are in no mood to surrender.
9:12 am EST
Unfortunately, nothing new to report... I’m still checking in with my contacts but nothing else has happened. I’m sure the people at the refuge are getting tired from having been up all night. For those who made fun of them for asking for energy drinks early on, now we can see the sense in the request.
9:48 AM EST
Some of the militia have been able to eat breakfast and refuel with coffee. Media are walking around bugging the militia members to sign permission forms to use their faces on camera... a request that is not being met with much interest from the people who are preparing for a gun fight with federal agents.
10:31 am EST
Gunshots heard in the distance. Not sure who shot. Some speculation that other militia may have arrived.
10:44 am EST
No additional shots heard. Militia in position.
11:17 am EST
No significant developments. Some women chose to remain in the compound to fight along side the men.
11:20 am EST
Some media are leaving the area after having been warned off by the FBI. WKTVZ has posted that the FBI told them that they will be provided no protection. This is a bad sign. If the FBI is trying to get the media to leave, they must not want footage of what is going to happen.
11:49 am EST
Despite 6 witnesses who saw LaVoy Finicum get shot while he was unarmed, with his hands above his head, MSNBC is now reporting that FBI officials are claiming that LaVoy “jumped out of his vehicle brandishing a firearm and was shot and killed.” THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE LIE. Federal Authorities are also claiming that they do not know who fired the “shot or shots” that killed LaVoy. Shot or shots? They riddled the man with bullets. Eyewitnesses say he was shot 6 times, including 3 times after he had fallen to the ground dead.
11:59 am EST
Word has spread around the compound that the FBI has ordered the media to leave. Militia were heard saying that they believe the FBI doesn’t want media coverage of the “bloodbath” they are getting ready to perpetrate.
12:01 pm EST
Militia in the process of digging trenches. Government drones are flying overhead to gather aerial footage.
12:05 pm EST
Multiple checkpoints have been set up by the FBI along key routes in and out of the refuge. Only ranchers who own property in the area are allowed to pass, but only after providing identification and submitting to a vehicle search.
12:20 pm EST
Most, if not all, media vehicles have pulled out and left the Refuge.
12:21 pm EST
FBI using the same type of spy plane over the Refuge now as they used over Waco - a military version of the Britten-Norman Islander, developed for roles such as utility transport, casualty evacuation, counter-insurgency and light attack, forward air control, patrol and reconnaissance.
1:02 pm EST
Militia members are expecting a group of Navy Seals to parachute in to the Refuge to come to their aid. The goal is now to hold on at the Refuge until the Seals arrive. Trenches continuing to be dug with backhoe.
1:18 pm EST
Yes, some militia members have spoken with retired Seals who are en route. This is not a joke.
