Oregon Standoff: Federal Land Grab vs. the Sagebrush Rebellion
The occupation of the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon by a small group of armed protesters represents a new and confrontational tactic in the Sagebrush Rebellion–the decades old struggle of Western ranchers against federal control of state lands. While the majority of rancher disputes are against the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) the US Fish and Wildlife Service has been just as ruthless–in this case expanding the wildlife refuge at the expense of neighboring ranchers. This week I’ll detail the struggle of the Hammond family, and of Ammon Bundy the protest leader. When you read the litany of federal abuse of ranching families, you will better understand why some ranchers are staging an armed resistance. I also give some suggestions on how this can be resolved peacefully.
The continuous criminal enterprise continues to slaughter Americans , perpetrate treason against the Constitution while the narcotized populace pick their collective noses and propel and avowed socialist to the Whitehouse.
For shame
Maybe and maybe not.............I'll wait for the autopsy report.........it appears it is possible he was getting hit already in slow motion................Oregon Standoff: Federal Land Grab vs. the Sagebrush Rebellion

Lavoy was trying to pull out a gun and murder an Oregon State Trooper when he was shot.
I don't give a fiddler's fuck what you think of your 'Sagebrush Rebellion'. When you start trying to kill cops, you can go fuck yourself. Lavoy is exactly where he should be based on his own actions.

GO FUCK YOURSELF AS WELL............................Look at the history of this and ignore it................they have been attacking these guys for 3 decades................I've seen the video.........and I'm not convinced that he wasn't hit before he lowered his arms............Maybe and maybe not.............I'll wait for the autopsy report.........it appears it is possible he was getting hit already in slow motion................Oregon Standoff: Federal Land Grab vs. the Sagebrush Rebellion

Lets see, swore he wouldn't go to jail, refused to surrender to a lawful warrant for his arrest, resisted arrest, led the cops on a high speed car chase, tried to run a police blockade, and then reached for a 9 mm handgun in his pocket.
Twice.
The evidence is on one side of this issue.
My sympathies are with the Oregon State Trooper and his family. Taking a human life is going to be with that Trooper for the rest of his life. HE's being called 'evil', 'treasonous', having 'murder in his heart', with militia head jobs calling for 'vengeance'.
All because the officer wouldn't let a criminal thug running from the law draw a pistol from his pocket and murder him in cold blood.
Fuck Lavoy Finicum. That wanna-be cop killing piece of shit should rot in hell.
You can take your 'SageBrush Rebellion' and shove it sideways up your ass. Trying to murder an Oregon State Trooper just robbed your movement of any semblance of moral high ground. Calling for law enforcement officers to be killed by the 'militia' still at the Refuge told us all we need to know about your ilk.
Contact ranches and groups who have learned how to work with the BLM and government and copy what they are doing. Adjust and adapt to make their business plans work in the 21rst Century. Ranchers are doing it all over the country and Americans all over the country in different industries and businesses have had to learn how to adjust and adapt without turning to armed takeovers. Some grazing lands are more valuable for other uses. It isn't the taxpayers job to automatically subsidize every rancher who is not able to deal with the changing times.You act like you and your ilk are the only ones who recognize that government can do some really fucked up shit and some unjust crap. The difference is that most people know how to keep things in perspective, use rational reasoning and constructive analysis to make conclusions and form opinions. You are just an emotional scatter brain with absolutely no critical thinking abilities. In other words, you appear to be a standard issue nut job wacko.you are one stupid motherfucker.First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
does it bother you even a little that you can get so worked up over 'tyranny' but can't even explain what you mean by it?
you are one stupid motherfucker.
OK MR. RATIONAL "THINKER"
OTHER THAN TO SHAKE LIKE A LEAVE AND CRAWL UNDER A ROCK WHAT OTHER CONSTRUCTIVE STEPS DO YOU SUGGEST?
.
What part of......I'm surrounded by officers with drawn guns is so difficult to understand?
What part of the US Constitution prevent the scumbags from surrounding the ranchers is so difficult to understand.
Armed criminals can only expect so much tender loving care from the Feds
what a piece of shit. pay your bills or liens will be placed on your propertyBLM Sued for $30 Million For Rustling Another Nevada Rancher’s Cattle
Long before Cliven Bundy faced down federal agents in his dispute with the Bureau of Land Management over grazing rights, fellow Nevada rancher Raymond Yowell, an 84-year-old former Shoshone chief, watched as the BLM seized his herd.
Adding to that, since 2008 they’ve taken his money as well — in the form of a piece of his Social Security checks.
Yowell’s 132 head of cattle had grazed for decades on the South Fork Western Shoshone Indian Reservation in northeastern Nevada until 2002, when the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) — the same agency at odds with Bundy — seized them. The federal agency sold the cattle at auction and used the proceeds to pay off the portion of back grazing fees it claimed Yowell owed. Once the cattle was sold, the agency sent Yowell a bill for the outstanding balance, some $180,000. They’ve been garnishing his monthly Social Security checks since 2008 to satisfy the debt Yowell says he does not owe.
“There’s a definite pattern in the West, beginning in the 1990s, maybe in the late ’80s, of what I feel are illegal cattle seizures,” Yowell said. “[Bundy’s case] is the latest example of that pattern.”
Just another case of the Federal Gov't taking cows and taking this mans Social Security Check.
Isn't it time the federal government took a hard look at the hundred years of federal confiscation of land? You can get arrested for trespassing on any one of thousands of (not so) secret federal military installations even when there are no secrets left to protect. Thanks to the passage of time and the effort of traitors and idiots like Hillary, not to mention giveaway programs like Clinton's nuclear deal with North Korea and ICBM deal with China and Hussein's deal with Iran and negligence by "intelligence" agencies and even cyber attack there are no secrets left. We spend time and manpower and money to protect remnants of 20th century cold war junk that we end up dumping but the feds won't give it up. We have learned recently that the federal agency responsible for monitoring water quality failed in it's mission in Flint Mich. so what makes us think the BLM still has a logical mission? The dirty little secret is that the federal government contains thousands of little kingdoms or bureaucracies and the unstated mission of every federal bureaucracy is to get bigger and get more funding and become more powerful even if it doesn't make any sense.
Robert "LaVoy" Finicum had no way of resolving the issue peacefully since Article III Courts have been abolished.
.
He could have 'resolved' it peacefully by not committing criminal trespass in the first place.
Or he could have actually surrendered when stopped- rather than attempting to flee.
We should be able to toast marshmellows on the eternal flame.Are you saying there's no such thing as fed land ?
Like I can set up a campground in Arlington cemetery and no one can say shit about it ?
No it wasn't.
The man was reaching for his gun.
Stop lying.
No it wasn't.

Stop lying.
LISTEN , YOU MISERABLE PIECE OF SHIT , HAD HE INTENDED TO KILL THE GESTAPO HE WOULD HAVE DRIVEN THE SUV RIGHT INTO THE CHECKPOINT.
.
Just who do you think you are?
You can't talk to me that way.
Have some class and self respect.
If you want to debate me I'm all for it but you'll have to behave like a mature adult. Using honest facts.
I will point that yes he could have slammed into those cars but like the coward he is, he didn't want to hurt himself. So he didn't slam into them. He got out of that truck, put his arms out briefly then reached for his gun.
When you do that expect to be killed.

What land have they grabbed?
You do realize that the land where that sanctuary is was BOUGHT over 100 years ago by the US federal government don't you?
Ever hear of a man by the name of Theodore Roosevelt?
He was president a the beginning of the 20th century.
He had the federal government BUY that land from those who owned it which is what the constitution requires.
So there is no land grab.
Stop lying.
BULLSHIT , YOU STUPID FASCIST MOTHERFUCKER
"Notice, those lands have to be specifically ceded by the states through consent of the state legislatures; they cannot be taken arbitrarily by government. The federal government got around this by making federal ownership of large parts of Western territories a condition of statehood. This had never been done to any state until the territories west of the Dakotas, down through Texas became states. Nevada was literally robbed of 84.5% of its land. In most western states the federal government owns more than half of the land mass. This is outrageous. Here is a link to a map showing the sad facts."

Judge sends Oregon ranchers back to prison
A federal judge in Eugene, Ore., gave the father and son credit for time served but ordered them to serve the remainder of their mandatory five-year sentences for burning BLM rangeland.
And the Hammonds chose to comply. In fact, they told the militia they didn't want them there and they wouldn't be speaking for them if they stayed.
