“Funeral services will be held today in Kanab, Utah, for LaVoy Finicum, the rancher killed last month during the occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Oregon.”
—-AP
Has anyone noticed that, out here in Josey Wales country, the natives are getting restless? And I don’t mean Chief Ten Bears and his merry band of pissed off Comanches. I’m referring to the ranchers and farmers who are fed up with the federal government, particularly the Bureau of Land Management and the EPA.
And guess who many of these ticked folks are? They’re Mormons. That’s right. Cliven Bundy and sons are Mormon, as was LaVoy Finicum, who will be laid to rest today. Live-and-let-live, law abiding Mormons who, for generations, quietly built thousands of small, lovely communities in a land belt stretching from Arizona through Nevada and Utah into Idaho. Places where they could live in peace, work hard, practice their religion without harassment (that’s why they moved to the West from the intolerant Northeast in the first place), and raise their families.
I’ve been to dozens of these Mormon communities, including Kebab. Eaten at their mom and pop restaurants (tasty, home style cooking) and stayed at their locally owned motels (always clean and comfortable). These communities are extremely safe and well maintained. For the most part the homes are modest, but they are framed with flowers, well kept lawns, and the ubiquitous garden in back. The pride of the residents who live there literally screams that pride to visitors. It is solid testimony to the word “community.”
The Mormons are among the people who are getting very angry and defiant. Very. And that’s not a good sign.
Yeah, they might shut down Las Vegas, a town they financed.
They are not alone. I’m voting for Trump and believe he will take America 180 degrees from this Obamanation.
Trump would sell you to China for the right price rhsjr.
As for Mormonism.
A farce.
But I dont care what they believe, their choice. Just wish they would stop leaving their ideology on the doorstep.
Hmmm. An undercurrent of anti-Mormon sentiment already.
That was not my point. The Mormons are decent folks, in my extensive experience with them. I am making ZERO judgments abut the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. None.
But when decent folks like the Mormons start getting riled up and pulling off protests like the Bundys, you’d better pay close attention. It may be the canary in the coal mine.
Spot on! I believe there is a massive discontent just under the surface among the rational people in this nation. Like an electric charge that is building in potential. The only thing keeping it from finding a path to ground is the big question of “what can I do about it?” If that question gets a decent answer, there is going to be a massive lightning bolt to that ground path.
Fear of the government is holding that moment at bay. Eventually that Neo moment will arrive.
Trends always begin at the edges and are dismissed initially by the masses. Protests against the state and their officials will multiply and reach critical mass within a few years.
Kill Bill says: Trump would sell you to China for the right price rhsjr.
That’s right ..Trump will sell out America to China …can’t have that now can we?
China group to buy Chicago Stock Exchange – Feb. 5, 2016
The Chicago Stock Exchange reached a deal on Friday to be acquired by a China-led group …

Chinese Cash Floods U.S. Real Estate Market
In the United States, the home-buying spree began on the coasts, where Chinese buyers snapped up luxury condos in Manhattan and McMansions in Silicon Valley, pushing up home values in big cities. It is now spreading to the middle of the country, where prices are more modest and have room to run.
The homes here in Corinth will feature two master suites, one for the buyers, the other for aging parents. A concierge service will help new arrivals from overseas order Internet service and pay electric bills. Chauffeurs will ferry homeowners until they learn to navigate the loops and spurs of Texas freeways.
“When Chairman Zhang saw the strength of the Texan economy, he decided it was time that the Asian community should be presented an opportunity to invest in the American Dream,” marketing materials for the development read.

I haven’t followed the Western movement to reclaim state lands from the voracious clutches of the Federal government, but judging just by casual attention , it does seem the movement to restore state rights to the US Constitution is growing …just take a gander at Lavoy’s funeral….the attendance was huge which considering the fact that most likely every face in the crowd was entered into some Federal face recognition data base , the mourners came en mass to pay their respects anyway. I’m guessing all names of funeral attendees are now entered into the No Fly List as domestic terrorists…((( GASP)))
One Cowboy Stands for Freedom! R.I.P. LaVoy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff9ePV4byM8
I read one article here
via https://westernrifleshooters.wordpress.com/ that discusses the death of Lavoy as an ambush, which might be also considered to be an act of premeditated murder ( or assassination whichever you prefer ) by the Federal government .
After leaving Burns, they traveled up US 395 about 15 miles north of the intersection with US 20. As they passed National Forest Road 2820 (NF 2820) on their right, they noticed a line of trucks and other vehicles stacked up to enter US 395. There were at least eight vehicles, rather odd for the middle of a forest. This was about 4:25 PM, and about an hour out from their destination.
Once those vehicles turned north, the same direction they were traveling, it dawned on them that this might just not be a coincidence. However, optimistically, they continued on their way.
Less than a minute later, Vehicle #2 pulled over in response to flashing lights and sirens. Those who pulled over Vehicle #2 identified themselves as FBI HRT (Hostage Rescue Team) with a loudspeaker. They then instructed the driver to exit the vehicle and walk toward them, hands on his head. He approached them, he was instructed to lie on the ground, head away from them, and “low-crawl” back to them, where they disarmed him, cuffed him and patted him down. The same procedure was then addressed to the man in the back seat (Ammon), and finally to the man in the front seat (Budda), until all three were “secured”. All three acted without resisting, and fully compliant with the instructions given. They were then placed on the ground with their backs against one of the FBI vehicles, where they remained until after those from Vehicle #1 were finally returned to that area. Ammon’s hat and briefcase were still in the Jeep when it was recovered from impound, two days later
Vehicle #1, realizing that Vehicle #2 was no longer behind them, and not wanting to separate from and abandon their friends, slowed to a stop just beyond NF 31, about 3/4 mile from where the ambush began. They were followed by two FBI vehicles that stopped about 40 feet behind them. Ryan Payne then stuck his hands and head out of the passenger side window and a single shot was fired, striking the truck near the outside rear-view mirror.
The first shot having been fired, Ryan’s concern was for the women who were well within that line of fire. He exited the truck, hands held about shoulder level, and yelled, “There are women in here”. Seeing the number of guns pointed at him, when the command was given, “hands on your head. Walk toward us”, he complied. He was then searched, handcuffed, and taken back to where the three from Vehicle #2 were detained, a few hundred yards behind Vehicle #1.
After Ryan left the vehicle, LaVoy, seeing laser dots around him, and the observers in the back seat seeing a laser dot directly on LaVoy’s hat, he sticks his head and one hand out the window and yells, “Go ahead and shoot me.” He follows that with, “We are going to meet with the Sheriff [Palmer of Grant County]. We have a meeting with the Sheriff. You are going to have to shoot me. We are going to see the Sheriff. We are going to see the Sheriff.”
But no worries middlings , nothing nefarious here..just Obama and his posse doing the homework their global corporate masters assigned…If only LaVoy and fellow patriots had flown a flag other than the Star and Stripes..

Seriously laugh out loud funny.
How many people actually believe Trump will do anything except fuck us over like the rest do?
Maroons, all.
I’ve known a few Mormons . All have been level headed,hard working folks . That being said they are part of a religion that has them at the ready for the apocalypse . All have a years worth of food stored. Most that I’ve known have had weapons stored as well. In the final analysis is that they are prepared for anything and that translates into not screwing with them .
When “Official Good People”, for which the Mormons are the poster children for, get this mad, the DC elites better start running.
The Mormons won’t be real vocal about what they are going to do, they will just DO it.
Say what you want about their religion, Mormons are cocked, locked and read to rock for the meltdown of America. They are required to have 1 year of food/water/ammo/you name it. Most if not all are firearms proficient and they have large families.
I’ll take them in my foxhole any day of the week.
The Mormon’s I have known and interacted with over the years, are all decent, moral, people.
Thats not to say they are one hundred percent as such. No matter where you go or do, you will always find a bad apple or a rotten egg. Its inevitable. But among Mormon’s the percentage is VERY low.
A Mormon friend is staunch and true. You won’t find true Mormon’s in possession of an EBT card or going to food bank. Nor will you find them on the “dole” of welfare or members of the FSA.
They are simple, hard working, honest people that simply want to live a life of their choosing, without interference and hindrance. They have an innate sense of right and wrong that is fair. When wronged, they work with legal diligence and correctness to right that wrong. If this path is continually denied them, eventually they run out of options and patience.
Enter real citizens such as the Bundy’s and LaVoy Finicum. May he RIP.
You will at times see children, especially males, break their toys. Cheap toys, expensive toys, doesn’t matter, since they did not buy them. And it’s not out of antipathy or some kind of hatred; they just want to see where the toys will break, to find their breaking point.
Our leaders are like this; they did not pay (in blood) for this country, but they are currently in charge of it. They will not repair or replace it with something better, they will simply break it. Then they will wonder what all the fuss is about.
Mennonites… The Religion of Peace? I think not.
Can hardly wait to see what the Amish will do.
@ Flash
Thank you for the funeral procession video,
all those horses, wow…like from a different era.
The farmers here, and some have small herds of cattle,
are the hardest working, and most selfless people
I have ever met. Conditions are harsh/far northern
Midwest. BTW, freedom of religion/freedom from gov
imposed religion…that is what people want. Beyond
that, who cares what religion anyone is?
I sent this article out to lots of contacts in my address book. Just two negative responses, and here they are. You won’t be surprised.
“You’re panting (sic) the Mormons as sweet law-abiding patriotic citizens. They are religious zealots more interested in their cultism than their country. Sorry–I’ve got NO respect for them–let alone concern.”
—-a retired printer and Obama voter
“As for a community the Amish are the picture of peace, working the land, practicing their religion, and raising their families. They do this without guns and occupying a wildlife refuge. I’ll take living on the East Coast and leave the Bundy clan and their cohorts right where they are!”
—-a retired teacher and Obama campaign activist and voter
At least someone is getting mad.
“These communities are extremely safe and well maintained. For the most part the homes are modest, but they are framed with flowers, well kept lawns, and the ubiquitous garden in back.”
Wouldn’t that be a fair description of what middle class American neighborhoods used to be like? We forget what things were like before liberal policy enabled deadbeat feral browns to destroy our quality of life. And now we’re going to import Muslim trash. Put a fork in this motherfucker. It’s done. Going forward, the best you’ll be able to do is move the whitest areas that are left. Everywhere else will be some level of a lawless hellhole, just like all the other countries that are populated with browns and Muslims.
That’s why this election is so important. For fuck’s sake, even if you hate the person, please vote for an American (a Constitutionalist). I don’t get the impression that the Constitution means jackshit to Trump. That leaves me with Rubio or Cruz. I don’t see Cruz having any kind of mass appeal. That leaves me with Rubio.
Even if we can somewhat steer the nation back to its founding principles, the fact is the trajectory has been set in stone. Changing it at this point would be on par with turning the Titanic on a dime. We would have to de-fund the browns and leave them to either rise to the level of competence as the rest of productive society or let them fucking die. We’d also have to raise to 25 to eliminate kids voting (adulthood does not begin at 18 anymore), plus revoke voting privileges for welfare recipients. That is the minimum that would have to happen for this nation to not be run into the ground by the takers. And we know there’s no chance that any of that will happen. We are doomed. It’s just a matter of how long it’s to take for the nation to implode.
I just hope we can slow the momentum. I’m hoping for at least a few years in a nice beach community that’s relatively free of fucking shitbags, which I’m currently surrounded by. For those of you that are lucky enough to not be living in a fully diversified hellhole, trust me, it fucking sucks!
“BTW, freedom of religion/freedom from gov imposed religion…that is what people want. Beyond
that, who cares what religion anyone is?”

Well, I do.
Fucking auto post again. Continuing after “Well, I do.” ……………….
I’m very open-minded about religion. If you want to worship guinea pigs, be my guest. But if your religion morphs into violence against those who do not share your religious beliefs, then I support justifiable self-defense against you and your religion.
And I am obviously speaking of Islam. I openly admit to being highly prejudiced against Muslims of any nationality or race, here and abroad. Religion of Peace, my ass. It’s been a Religion of the Sword for 1,400 years. No, wait. Strike that. It’s a fucking violent cult.
@SSS
obviously SSS, a “religion” that seeks to punish by death,
anyone who refuses to participate in it (?Sharia?)
is not a religion. I was referring to Mormons actually, or any
other groups/religions that obey common law. Islam?
I don’t know what it is, but I don’t want a religion of rape,
murder, stoning, homosexual abuse of children, and so forth,
anywhere in the USA. I would suggest people sign off against
that, or get out. Sorry I was so unclear.
@ SSS: “I don’t know what (Islam) is, but I don’t want a religion of rape, murder, stoning, homosexual abuse of children, and so forth, anywhere in the USA.”

Thanks. I agree 100%.
Having lived in Utah (both in SLC and near Kanab ) for 12 years and being married for 7 years to a Mormon, I have to disagree with OutLookingIn. I worked in the Educational Field and witnessed a very high number of Mormon Families on welfare. EBT, Medicaid, free school lunches, FEP, CHIP, Section 8 housing…Other than one or two Mormon women that I encountered in my years there, every one of them were on antidepressant medication from being overwhelmed with the responsibilities assigned to them by the Church and their Husbands. Outwardly the Mormons (in Utah) were law-abiding and model US Citizens.
However, a closer and more intimate factual look into the Mormon Culture will produce a much different picture. It is of no surprise that Utah has a very high rate of domestic violence -not to mention a lot of hits on those Porn Websites…And have you checked out the rate of Bankruptcies in Utah? Pretty high for decent hardworking model American Citizens.
That being said: Yes, Mormons are very Patriotic Americans-but it is their own brand-Gentiles (non-Mormons) are not included in Brand. That is until they convert you alive or dead.
I do not hate or despise the Mormons and would move back to Utah if the opportunity came up. But it is what it is. Rotten Eggs are extremely numerous among the Mormons.
My experience has led me to value more favorable a mormon neighbhor then a hood rat, take it or leave it.
They are the same as every other group large enough to be counted; all types claim their faith. Two examples:
(1) I moved to Utah for higher education; needed some money to make expenses meet. The landlord of a two-building outfit was favorably impressed with me, although he was Mormon and I am not. He employed me part-time to do light electrical (110V) where he needed some lights hung, cabling run, outlets, etc. He paid fairly and on-time; to save expenses I wound up moving next door to a vacant room in his parents’ house, who were also as kind as humanly possible. I moved out only because I needed to lower overall expenses to stay financially stable.
(2) When I moved out, I needed a roommate and Jeremy wanted one; had I known, I’d have gone elsewhere. In a matter of three months, that divorced father-of-two managed to:
(A) Disappear; over the first week, I was to file a missing persons report before I knew his true nature, meet his parole officer, learn he was not employed where he had told me he was, learn from our landlord that he had taken my half of the rent money and told them I was paying it all that month, and eventually give up caring what had happened with him.
(B) A month later, he turned back up, wanting to return as if nothing had happened. I kept the door on the chain and refused any further dealings with him; gave away his junk to the thrift store, put the apartment in my name only while he was gone, and stayed there on my own until my family arrived.
There could not be two folks more different while both Mormon; my landlord / employer was / is a fine man, and if Jeremy isn’t lying in a ditch somewhere he’s still scum. You get all kinds.
John 19:30: Jesus said, “It is finished.”
Mohammed and Joseph Smith came later. They both were frauds. Joseph Smith received his revelations from the angel “Moroni” and his Bible is now called “Another Gospel of Jesus Christ”.
Consider this in light of the following:
Galatians 1:6:-9
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel – which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!”
Like Glenn Beck and Mitt Romney, Mormons are nice folks Salt of the earth, in fact. But still, they are going to hell in the end. Sad but true.
