Armed Militia Members take over Federal Building in Oregon

[Vic]

The first time "ranchers" came to my attention in the political give-and-take occurred around 2004 during election season.

Bill Moyers was going cross-country, interviewing a range of people.

In So-Cal, we had the front-page news of the "downer-cow" scandal at a San Berdoo meat-packing plant. All sorts of USDA violations there, and possible health-hazards to consumers.

Two weeks into the "Downer-Cow" frenzy, Moyers interviewed a cattle-rancher somewhere near Amarillo, asking him about his major concerns going into the election.

"Well, for one thing, Ah think the gub-mint should stay out of my bid-nis."

What?! Mad Cow Disease?! We don' have no stinkeen Mad Cows! Whadda we need stinkeen Mad Cows for?! Stop snooping around our Mad Cows!

Totally typical attitude from these guys. I recall a tomato farmer in the desert outside Bakersfield complaining that he shouldn't have to pay the government for water. Yet if it wasn't for all those government projects bringing water down Shasta (600 miles away), his land wouldn't have any water!

Weird tangent, but have any of you ever watched that Curious George show on PBS and Netflix? I have a young daughter, and she loves it. Anyway, on this one episode, they show how the local chef is able to grow all the food for his restaurant on his little urban rooftop garden. I know it's just a kid's TV show but I about choked. If such a thing was even remotely possible..

Well, you see, rooftops are closer to the sun so the garden gets more sunlight and the plants grow better. Someday, we'll erase hunger through elevated farming.

I suspect things would change quickly if the Yeehawdis killed federal agents as in Waco. That's def the point of no return.

You have to apply pressure. The ATF raid is what sparked the initial shootout with the Branch Davidians. Push them into a corner so this thing can come to an end. It's currently making a mockery of our government.

 

[DrDoug]

Just like all those BLM protests that have ended with hundreds dead.

LOL, Democrats.

This whole situation seems like it's retards all the way down. Are you trying to insert yourself into the retard pile?

Here asshole, how about some comments from the locals about these 'retards'?

Why don't you go tell them your thoughts on the matter?

 

[adairusmc]

The circus is continuing. They're allowing a sovereign citizen "judge" to convene a "grand jury" at the refuge. They intend to indict various federal officials and employees of various "common law" crimes. The herpyderp grows by the minute.


I told my uncle, one of the employees of that refuge, he better get the S&W shield 9mm he has been planning to buy now, in case one of these tards thinks they have a warrant from their stormfront judge

Noble Rot off E Burnside.. thought I recognized that view. I live in SW near the village.
It's a very nice garden but no way he can grow everything he needs.

Not all the food, obviously, but all the veggies:

episode 2 in Italy, Phil visits a chef in Florence that does just that.

This is a great show, btw.

That's awful. The longer this goes on the more likely they're going to end up hurting someone. A bunch of really stupid, heavily armed people on a mission from god is a tragedy waiting to happen.

The Olive comments section is a perpetual cesspool of stupidity and douchebaggery. What was once a fairly respectable newspaper is now just crap not fit to line a dog crate after the Oregonian went under a couple of years ago and was reborn in their new clickbait online format.

I have no doubt that we would be the Alabama of the west if it wasn't for the progressive areas of our state. We have our share of knuckle-dragging idiots here too, just like every other state, but at least they are fairly powerless (for now).

Olive has some great reporting at times, just don't load the comments...lol!

 

[DrDoug]

Well, enough about the Bundy Boys for the moment. How about some news about a group that is organizing to support the militia members and their takeover in Oregon?

“Dear friends it’s my dearest regrets to have to share this heart breaking new (sic) with you tonight. That OUR fellow patriot and brother Charles Carter is no longer with us. He gone to be with Jesus. Today killed by a fellow patriot Vincent Smith. Who was suppose (sic) to be his brother in arms and friend,” posted online radio host Keith Williams, who identified himself as the victim’s next of kin and shares posts from Jon Ritzheimer, another ‘patriot’ involved with the Bundys.

I think they need to do some more 'organizing' before talking off on their trip...lol!

Oh yeah, the name of their march is: Paul Revere 2016 Final March To Restore America

Yup, one body at a time...

Hey fuckface, are you claiming these occupiers are NOT retards?

 

[DrDoug]

Hey fuckface, are you claiming these occupiers are NOT retards?

Yes I am, they are domestic terrorists. Please show me the medical diagnosis that proves they are "retards".

Asshole.

I think that Yallqaeda is coming out on the losing end of the mockery. If anything, govt restraint just shows how ridiculous they are in portraying themselves as somehow oppressed.

I figure they'll somehow declare victory & say when they're leaving at the town hall meeting they've set up. I'm sure their leadership realizes that the longer this drags out the more likely it is that one of their members will do something truly stupid to bring the FBI down on all of them like the hammer of God.

They'll still be liable for any criminal acts after they leave & for some while given the statute of limitations.

Yep. Chef Piscetti isn't it? Same voice actor for Minsc from Baldur's Gate 2

It's not too bombastic of a concept though, there are people out there that have this stuff really dialed in, almost perfected. Check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCmTJkZy0rM

6,000lbs of food/year out of a 1/10th acre garden, over 400 varieties of plants. The excess nets them $20k a year in additional income. My sister is really into this (as am I now) and showed me a set up someone has out West that is basically the same thing, only they combine it with aquaponics so there is a constant stream of fish for harvest as well. The vegetation provides water filtration for the fish, and the fish provide nutrients for the plants. Pretty awesome stuff really. Getting that on a roof ain't gonna happen though.

Well, that was stated with his typical eloquence, I guess.

I ran across this quote regarding Bundy taking down the fence at the request of a local rancher so his cattle would have access to the land.

BURNS — Tim Puckett, the rancher whose cattle graze private rangeland adjoining the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, said he didn’t give Ammon Bundy and his band of armed militants permission to enter the ranch Monday afternoon and destroy a publicly owned fence.
“I am very upset,” Puckett told The Oregonian/OregonLive.
His ranch hands have already repaired the fence.
“They’re not coming onto my place no more,” he said of the militants. “If they do, I’m gonna have to do something about it. I don’t want them going across my ground.”
Puckett said he has never spoken to Bundy, the leader of a militant group that has occupied the refuge headquarters compound since Jan. 2. The militants are protesting the federal government’s land-use policies, advocating for public property to be turned over to local ranchers and loggers.
Bundy, an Arizona businessman and son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, claimed Monday that Puckett gave him permission to enter the ranch and that Puckett actually asked the militants to cut out the fence so his cattle could graze on more land – which is publicly owned refuge land.
Puckett told The Oregonian/OregonLive, “I didn’t know anything about it” until late Monday night.
“They didn’t have my permission to do anything,” Puckett said.

Bundy trespassed on private land to remove a fence that the landowner did not want taken down. Good on that rancher for repairing the fence and telling the truth of the matter. Bundy and his gang are domestic terrorists, full stop. He and his people do not respect the property rights of anyone.

Anyone... federal, state or private.

ETA: It seems that the Bundy Boys and their Safety Committee wanted to use county facilities for their meeting but county officials let them know that isn't happening. The part time Fire Marshal resigned over the refusal...lol!

Maybe they can take over the county fairgrounds for their meeting.

 

[DrDoug]

Bundy has a 'progress report' up on Facebook. He says that they have served their papers to officials and are getting ready for the hangin'!, I mean the trial. He's pissed that they can't use the county fairgrounds (sounds like the county commissioner is on borrowed time!) for his meeting, that the commissioner is openly hostile to him and that he needs more warm bodies and dildos. I wonder if the 55 gallon drum of personal lubricant this person has sent them will be useful?

Send more dildos!

 

[WelshBloke]

I wonder if the 55 gallon drum of personal lubricant this person has sent them will be useful?

Wow. That was an expensive joke!

 

[DrDoug]

Wow. That was an expensive joke!

Maybe the guy thinks Bundy's fanfic is real? :biggrin: More disturbing is that he knew that he could buy it in 55 gallon drums! I bet he throws some wild parties...lol!

Dumb-as-fuck militia mouthpiece Pete Santelli is on top of his game in calling the Judge's (Harney county) 15 year old daughter a "prostitute" and goes on to say:

“The only reason that anyone needs to be fearful about what’s going on around here are the corrupt bastards like her grandfather. He needs to be fearful because we’re going to investigate and we’re going to bring some justice to a judge.”

It sounds like Bundy, Santelli and the rest have already made their decision on hanging the Judge and now they're just waiting for the trial to confirm their judgment. I sure hope law enforcement is ready to drill these fuckers between the eyes when they show up to arrest the town officials.

I have no doubt that Bundy is going to try to go through with it.

Yeah, there's nothing like watching a 63 year old man show how stupid a man can become in 63 years. Let him side with the losers, his poor decisions will eat at him for the rest of his life. The community has made their decision and he has decided to go against the community, joining with the outsiders who have invaded. I predict that his time in the county will be coming to an end, he will move on and join up with the rebels without a clue.

He has little choice now, he's burned his bridges with the locals.

 

[Meghan54]

Hey, now! Don't disparage us 60+ year olds! You have no idea how stupid we can become, although Bundy, et al, sure are putting a high bar on it.
