My buddy texted me about this and I am stupefied that there isnt a mention of it on any news channel this morning.
Family members of now infamous Cliven Bundy, the Nevada rancher who refused to pay over $1 million in grazing fees, helped lead a militia to seize control of a federal building Saturday night. The takeover was preceded by a peaceful protest that apparently got out of hand.
Oregon ranchers Dwight Hammond Jr. and Steven Hammond are scheduled to report to prison on Monday for arson, but were joined by hundreds of supporters who argue that they have been unfairly targeted and wrongfully charged. The protest in Burns, Oregon was largely peaceful, ending at the courthouse with those in attendance throwing coins at the building, signifying people buying back their government. Shortly after, members of the protest joined with an outside militia group that included Ammon Bundy and his two brothers, as reported by The Oregonian on Jan. 2.
The Bundy brothers joined what was described as “hard-core militiamen” in taking over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge headquarters, about 50 miles outside of Burns. An estimated 150 people have made up the militia, in an attempt to keep the Hammond family out of prison. Officials have noted that the group is “heavily armed,” and considered dangerous.
Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward released a statement Saturday night pleading for individuals to keep away from the area. “For the time being please stay away from that area. More information will be provided as it becomes available. Please maintain a peaceful and united front and allow us to work through this situation.”
Ammmon Bundy spoke with the Oregonian, stating that “The facility has been the tool to do all the tyranny that has been placed upon the Hammonds.” Bundy said the militia was “planning on staying here for years,” noting that, “this is not a decision we’ve made at the last minute.” In April 2014, the Bundy family engaged in an armed confrontation with the United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) over unpaid grazing fees on federally owned land.

and all that
This story was on RT.com 12 hours ago when I had my mid morning coffee.
REAL NEWS does not get airtime. Years ago my cousin called from Memphis to advise there was a chimpout riot taking place. He was watching it on CNN, something completely different was on CNN where I live and NO mention of Memphis was made all evening on the feed we were getting from the CNN News channel. I am convinced they have the ability to keep REAL NEWS under wraps so the mainstream audience never get wind of it.
Black Lives Matter does something like this and they become leftist and MSM hero’s.
I doubt that is what will happen here, though.
If they had suitcases of bills to throw at the courthouse, the outcome may have been different.
Bea,
You just now figuring that out?
Well, better late than never.
Wish the people in the general herd out there would as well.
