Three of Cliven Bundy's sons, militia seize federal building in Oregon
Washington Examiner ^ | 1/2/16 10:04 PM | DAN FRIEDMAN, KYLE FELDSCHER
Posted on January 2, 2016 at 8:26:28 PM PST by TBP

Three of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy's sons and what they claim are 150 militia members have occupied a federal building in eastern Oregon in order to keep two local ranchers out of prison, according to local reports.

The group is believed to be heavily-armed.

This may be a false flag op for those who consider such things.

The Portland Oregonian/Oregon Live story on this includes this paragraph.

“Government sources told The Oregonian/Oregon Live that the militia also was planning to occupy a close wildland station near the town of Frenchglen. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management posts crews there during the fire season.”

The feds appear to be well informed and agents-informants are probably planted among the protestors in my estimation.

Double posting for a special Lazamataz Emergency Editorial

Emergency Editorial: Ammon Bundy Occupation Should Be Met With Prudent Response By Patriots

quote:

Original Content | 1/3/2016 | By Laz A. Mataz
Posted on 1/3/2016, 10:31:09 AM by Lazamataz

In the last day or so, a very dangerous situation has emerged in Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, near the town of Burns, Oregon. Ammon Bundy and about a dozen men, armed with firearms, have occupied a closed Federal building on that property. The local Sheriff has backed down, and there are rumors of Special Response Teams staging nearby.

This building is a smallish, very isolated building in the middle of a large National Refuge. Someone posted on a thread under a Guardian news article about this, "I'm in Oregon. These guys took over a headquarters building but it's kinda like an old brick house your grandma would live in and it's at least 50 miles from nowhere. You guys have a good time."

I do not intend to explore the minutia behind the case. That is a matter for courts. I do intend to explore the responses to this that we should take, and those we should not take.

I had a chance to hear a CNN interview with Ammon Bundy. At best, his narrative can only be described as incoherent. The CNN host, remarkably constrained in his questioning, asked what the government could do to unravel this. After a lot of "um's" and "uh's", the best Ammon could come up with was, "The government needs to start following the Constitution." The host wanted a more definitive answer, and Bundy had nothing. Simply put, this guy is the perfect foil for a police-state government move.

We all agree. The Federal government does need to start following the Constitution. This is a fight for the court system, and if there is no relief there -- AND it happens to more than a handful of us -- THEN other more drastic measures can be considered. The key is the universality of violation. The cases of Waco, Ruby Ridge, the Bundy Ranch -- while all eregious -- are spread apart by years and have happened to the tiniest percentage of people. The proper response to these actions are judicial in nature. Take these things all the way up to the Supreme Court. These venues NEED to be fully-explored, first.

If, however, this sort of government abuse begins to happen in greater and greater numbers, there comes a time when there is a tipping point. When OTrauma just starts going full-Stalin, we must react, or die on our knees.

I don't think we are there yet, notice how delicately he's treading on his gun control Executive Order tomorrow. It's basically a tiny measure -- purported to be background checks if the seller sells 25 guns a year -- and he had his people research it for months before deciding to proceed.

There comes a time he won't be so careful or delicate. That's when we know the balloon went up. Either that, or if we ever awake to find that the electric or communications grid is down. Those are proper signs that something srastic must be undertaken.

If the Feds undertake an attacking action, and lose anyone, this will be the chance for OTrauma to actually impose some Stalinist directives. Anything from a declaration of a National Emergency to martial law could be reasonably taken, and the masses of people would go right along with it. See, the masses of people need to feel the boot before they will join. There must be more support by the general population before we can move. There are also several ways to conduct ourselves. One is more direct action, but another seems to be effective as well. Look at Czechoslovakia for how a successful 'velvet revolution' can occur, or how the 'Arab Spring' caused (admittedly harmful, in this instance) change. Anything where we are the vast minority, and a Fed-supportive populace is the vast majority, is simply a death sentence for more of our liberties, and perhaps even a death sentence for we who believe in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

This particular set of actions by Ammon Bundy are just unwise. One actually wonders if he wasn't emboldened or encouraged to act recklessly by agents of the administration, embedded in his group.

I call upon Ammon Bundy to stand down, and work the court system -- all the way up to SCOTUS -- at this time. I plead for all patriotic-minded individuals to stay away from this situation.

What's so incoherent about "follow the constitution". What part don't you get?

What the reporter was doing, and you clearly fell for it, was putting Bundy on the spot to MAKE HIM APPEAR to be a nut. The reality is this was only a brief interview and the list of grievances and abuses of power would take hours to explain so he had to give the answer in as brief a statement as possible.

Follow the constitution is neither ambiguous or incoherent in any way.

I agree with Laz that this whole thing stinks of agents provocateur. Read up on the Okhrana sometime. They were the Tsar’s secret police, and churned up trouble in order, they claimed, to flush out subversives. As a byproduct, they perpetuated their existence and oh yeah, their paychecks. They are the ones who created the Protocols of Zion. They ended up being the main suppliers of illicit weapons, explosives, and training to subversives. That is the kind of thing brain-dead, dead soul, Statist operatives do. We are burdened with an abundance of such drones. This thing stinks of such an operation, and I am sure the feds have been slavering for the opportunity for payback on the not-too-smart Bundy family.

Unfortunately, the Bundys took the bait. Conservatives should heed carefully the coincidence in time with this farce, and this degenerate president’s assault on the 2d Amendment. We see thinly veiled administration trolls here all the time. Do not doubt that they put their best efforts into suborning the Bundys with foolish aspirations.

It's never straight up and down!
- From a Reddit thread:

New York Times quoted: Mr. Bundy described the federal building as “the people’s facility, owned by the people” and said his group was occupying it to take “a hard stand against this overreach, this taking of the people’s land and resources.”

The far-right militia wants to... establish collective control of government property and seize the means of production in the name of the proletariat.

Yes, but without black people or muslims, so it's totally fine.

I will bet you all 100% that they only packed beer when they did this. They're going to get cordoned off and starved out, the police know there's no reason to go in guns blazing.

From a few pages back but did D&D used to be a lot more conservative? I've only been hanging around here a few months and the few right wing posters are mostly gimmicks.

When the Iraq War started, a majority of D&D posters at the time were in favor, if that tells ya anything.

Convincing America to invade Iraq was pretty easy since they just up and lied about it.

Biden has sat immobile on the Iron Throne of America. He is the Master of Malarkey by the will of the gods, and master of a million votes by the might of his inexhaustible calamari.

Basically. I was young and naive enough to think that while the government would twist things in their favor, they wouldn't outright lie about things to satisfy a daddy complex and try to bring about literal Armageddon. So I was a Bush defender when it came to that.

Welp. :shobon:



My position rapidly evolved when it became clear they had no loving clue what to do with the country once they knocked it over and proceeded to screw just about everything up, from unguarded armories to electrified showers to actual pallets of cash going missing.

No, I'm talking people who had wanted to invade Iraq since like noon on 9/11.

Hey, so was I :D

Then again, I was literally 12 at the time, and thought it was Command and Conquer but real.
