Feds Confiscate Guns in Flathead Valley With 30 Vehicles, Three Tanks, and Helicopter
Montana Daily Gazette ^ | March 15, 2021 | PUBLISHER

Posted on 03/16/2021 4:38:24 PM PDT by Norski

Heretofore ignored by the legacy press and mainstream media, in February, federal authorities invaded a neighborhood in the Flathead Valley with militarized police and terrorized its occupants with what appears to be Waco-level tyrannical overreach.

In 1992, a federal siege occurred in Boundary County, Idaho, at a location known as Ruby Ridge. The eleven-day siege lasted from August 21-31 and resulted in the deaths of one U.S. Marshall, and the wife and son of Randy Weaver, the target of the siege. This event captured the attention of the nation. To secure the land around this seven-person home composed of three adults and four children, the federal government saw fit to send in hundreds of federal agents, as well as associated vehicles and air support. . .

. . .The reasons for the siege are not pertinent here, but the fact is many lessons were learned as a result. Those lessons revolved around Rules of Engagement, the use of force, and other legal concerns. One would have hoped the lessons would be applied in future encounters, but in 1993 the same FBI Hostage Rescue Team commander took part in the siege and raid of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. After fifty-one days, the compound was breached and seventy-five people were killed, including twenty-five children. Nearly thirty years after Ruby Ridge, it seems that the only real lesson federal agencies applied from Ruby Ridge and Waco is that they needed to do a better job of keeping their activities out of the eyes of the public. Why? Because a similar event occurred in Western Montana on February 2, 2021, and it’s likely you’ve not heard anything about it.

In the early Tuesday morning hours, motion sensors alerted the occupant . . ."

I knew Daines was a Bush League Republican, but everybody seems to want to keep re-electing Assistant Democrats

” “The reasons for the siege are not pertinent here” . . . “

is a portion of a sentence written in the article posted.

They are not my words.

Thank you.

I agree with your thoughts there, but as Christian we are
called to point out this type of behavior.

If we don’t object to this, it’s partially on us for not
opposing it.

Perhaps the feds can explain better than this article did.

So far it’s not looking good.

YEP , they're gonna need more than barbed wire fences and unarmed freezing poorly fed and demoralyzed national guard troops suffering from masked hypoxia to protect them if the SHTF

Therefore, they will proceed with their typical south america style regime change with media propaganda, frog in pot syndrome, ammunition shortages, and midnight chickens**t raids performed by the useful idiot federal rooster patrol hired sociopaths with badges

And also, BTW. There would be court documents for such an incident, if it really happened.

According to the Constitution, federal operators may not engage in law enforcement activities without the permission of the local county sheriff, something that is often overlooked and ignored, which is the case here. . .” . . .

Wrong.

An acquaintance of mine in CA had a former girlfriend who called the cops telling them he threatened her and he had guns! He said the allegations were false and he already had another girl friend.

Long story short, they raided his home, took his entire life long collection of guns, (he was a collector) he was arrested because a few didn't meet CA endless criteria. They also called animal control and took his dog. Once released and waiting for a court date, he blew his brains out with one they missed. His brother told me he had no criminal record had never been arrested ever, and he was scared to death they were gong to put him in prison. Just before his death, he called his brother and told him he'd ranter die a free man, than face what the state had in store for him. 8 hours later, at the time of his suicide, he called the x girl friend and left a message for her, saying he hoped she was happy and included in the message was the sound of him pulling the trigger. It was all very sad.

"They are not my words."

My comment wasn't personal or directed at any single individual. It was for everyone to see. Since the 2020 election campaigns, there's been an epidemic of lies from both the left and right from nearly all kinds of media. I'm fed up with it and very skeptical of any article lacking needed information, misconstruing information, illogical, etc.

No, Feds are not able to “take over” a Sheriffs office. Not without a DOJ patterns and practices lawsuit ending in a ruling, or a consent decree.
Despite hit movies, Feds cannot stroll in and “take over” a case, or direct a Sheriff or his Deputies to do as the order.

Contact the publisher of the Montana Daily Gazette.

The article and the contact information are on their website.

“[Editor’s Note: The Montana Daily Gazette stands by the veracity of this report from a field reporter and we believe the Legacy Press has been intimidated into silence by the federal government. Names have been changed to protect the innocent]”

From “About”:


About

The Montana Daily Gazette was founded by Pastor Jordan Hall of Sidney, Montana, and ownership was transferred to a group of Montana investors in October of 2020. All of our owners – all Montanans – are highly committed to providing up-to-date, fair news coverage from a conservative and Christian worldview and come from a range of backgrounds including government, religion, publishing, entrepreneurialism, and philanthropy.

Hall’s organization, The Gideon Knox Group, remains the publisher for Montana Daily Gazette. Its editor, who manages the day-to-day content of the newspaper, is James White of Kalispell.

Jordan Hall has been credentialed with the Montana Newspaper Association, writing as a freelance reporter for the Round-Up Newspaper, based in Richland County, Montana. Hall’s has been quoted or cited in the New York Times, Newsweek, the Washington Post, the UK Daily Mail, the London Telegraph, the Today Show, Maxim, as well as in Christian publications like the Christian Post, Baptist News Global, and the Christian Research Network.

The Montana Daily Gazette was founded after negative press coverage in the Sidney Herald characterized a successful and peaceful town hall meeting addressing the Sanctuary Movement as “though a militia were forming.” Incensed at their biased coverage, which included an assertion from the editor that “no one is trying to take your guns away” while expressing a pro-choice point-of-view, Hall believed that it was time to use his publishing experience to give a voice to alternative media in the Big Sky State. And so, he founded the Montana Daily Gazette to give traditional values a voice and to commandeer the online news market away from mainstream media which, more times than not, advocates for progressive policies and political candidates.

The Montana Daily Gazette promises to shoot straight, get facts right, and always tell the truth, even when it is uncomfortable to do so. Facts, citations, and primary sources are always linked for the reader’s further research.

“Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops (Luke 12:3, KJV).””

Now to investigate Pastor Jordan Hall of Sidney, Montana, The Gideon Knox Group, and James White of Kalispell.

"8 hours later, at the time of his suicide, he called the x girl friend and left a message for her, saying he hoped she was happy and included in the message was the sound of him pulling the trigger."

So he gave a typical psychopath (created by deluded western chivalry in a whorehouse of a nation) the satisfaction of manipulating him into killing himself. It was the ultimate reward for her. Way to go.

“They aren’t tanks. They weren’t tanks yesterday, and they won’t be tanks tomorrow.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

” . . .three BearCat armored personnel carriers – commonly referred to as personnel tanks (pictured left) – in a convoy of over thirty total vehicles.

The BearCats are armed with a rotating turret for housing customer-specific weapon systems. Five gun ports are located on each side of the vehicle, and an additional two on the rear. The vehicle are often equipped with .50 BMG or 7.62mm rifles. It is a military-grade vehicle often used by U.S. Special Forces and the Australian military.”

True.

But still don’t want three in the driveway pointing gun ports at my dwelling.

“Wrong.”

Correct.

The feds can take control of a local police or sheriff’s department, and basically direct its leos.

In states where the law allows the governor can dismiss all of those leos and order them to go home, resign, or be fired.

The teeth in this is that it’s usually just a handful of feds who do the takeover, and say 50 to 1000 leos become their strength.

However the governor calls and says they are all relieved as law enforcement, go home at once, and any who fail to do so will be prosecuted under state law.

There is little the feds can do about it, and the feds don’t have the manpower to force the compliance of local law enforcement in a large state.

“Doe’s former girlfriend from North Carolina filed a restraining order (a civil matter, not criminal) against Doe in that state claiming he was homicidal, suicidal, a threat to her, and had bomb-making materials with the intention to cause harm. She also claimed he had booby traps all over the home and the surrounding property.”

He got “SWATted”.
