    Exclamation Armed Militia Occupies Federal Land in Oregon USA!!!




    An occupation movement took over a Wildlife refuge on January 2, to protest the re-sentencing of two Oregonian ranchers, Dwight and Steve Hammond.


    The two men were found guilty of arson after starting a fire to clear their property that had spread to federal lands. Dwight, 73, originally received a sentence of three months in prison, while Steve spent a year and a day in prison. However, federal prosecutors appealed their sentences and requested they receive a minimum of five years. The Hammonds turned themselves in on Monday.


    The background to the whole situation is complicated but the following links help explain things:

    Exclamation



    The Militia led by the Bundy brothers make their new home at the Malheur Wilderness Refuge in the frozen Oregon land. There they say they'll be making it liveable for ranchers, miners and loggers for years to come.

    A chilly news conference sees A. Bundy and a few others speak. They name themselves as the Citizens for Constitutional Freedom as the reporters ask a few questions.

    Meanwhile at Burns the Federal Agencies are beginning to arrive and settle in as well. Peter Santilli frantically broadcasts independently and has the FBI asking after him. Stingray technology blacks out a few phones as support is pouring in for the CCF.

    In California though the Hammond Snr and Jnr have a new home as well, unfortunately this one is a prison and they have years to go. There attorney holds out for a Pardon though, which would be a game-changer for all involved...Here's the lowdown on those involved:

    Night of the 6th sees some weasel words used by NYC reporter 'Tony' from MSNBC against Ammon Bundy. He is put in his place by Pete Santilli. Thankfully there is no night-attack as first feared at the Refuge.



    The Next Day...

    The Sheriff, at Burn's Townhall uses the argument that the occupation of the Malheur Facilities is causing disruption in the town of Burns 43 miles away.

    He went on to say The school, and courthouse are closed for this reason. The other side claim the reason for the disruption is not their occupation of the distant facility, but the Federal authorities who are using the school and courthouse to stage operations and a future attack on the Refuge.

    Additionally it is suggested by independent media that the The airfield is commandeered by Federal authorities.

    Some supporters visit the Refuge to show their respects to the Militia. One woman saying, "This has been needed (for) some time in the community. Someone to stand up and speak out for what needs to be done."

    Sheriff Ward offers the Militia a 'Way Out' Bundy and the Militia refuses.

    The Standoff continues with some new developments.



    The Committee of Safety makes its announcement and a slight altercation with the Veterans on Patrol occurs.

    At the close of the day the CCF - Citizens for Constitutional Freedom still remain at Malheur resolute.

    A new group of Patriots calling themselves the Idaho 3%ers arrives in Burns. They are members of the Pacific Patriots Network. Up to a 100 are on the scene. Although the video uses the term 'Militia' The group considers itself a 'security detail' but will be referred for the sake of brevity as a Militia.

    The encounter the FBI at their Airport Compound for an unprecedented meeting between a Militia and Federal Agency.

    The Meeting goes well with documentation given and peaceful words exchanged.

    The Idaho 3%ers next arrive at the Malheur Refuge.

    Ammon Bundy was not expecting them, but invited them into the compound where the two leaders spoke.

    The original plan to provide security at the Refuge is politely declined by the CCF which stands for Citizens for Constitutional Freedom.

    However the I3%ers do station themselves within driving distance at Burn's to provide security and protection there, as well as if there is an escalation at the Refuge.

    Who honestly gives a toss about this bunch of arseholes?

    Just starve them out.

    When they start missing McDonalds and shagging their sisters, they'll all crawl back home.

    Oregon militia standoff: man arrested driving stolen government vehicle
    The Guardian

    Just as I thought woud happen; busted on a beer run.

    Sam Levin in Burns, Oregon, and Nicky Woolf in San Francisco
    The standoff with armed militia in Oregon escalated on Friday after police swooped in on one of the protesters to make the first arrest in connection with the two-week occupation of a federal wildlife refuge.

    Kenneth Medenbach, who was arrested for unauthorized use of a government vehicle, is a chainsaw sculptor and longtime nemesis of the government with a history of previous entanglements with the courts over the occupation of federal lands.

    He is the first militiaman connected to the armed occupation to be arrested since the bird sanctuary in rural Oregon was unexpectedly taken over on 2 January.

    Medenbach, 62, was detained outside a Safeway supermarket in Burns, Oregon, some 30 miles from the Malheur national wildlife refuge, according to a statement from the Harney County sheriff’s office.

    He appears to have driven from the occupied compound to a local supermarket in a vehicle allegedly stolen from the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which runs the refuge. The sheriff’s office statement said that law enforcement officers recovered “two vehicles stolen from the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge”.

    snip

    This is not Medenbach’s first tangle with the law. He is currently out on bail, according to court documents, awaiting trial for a seven-month residential occupation of government land between May and November 2015.

    Medenbach was tried and convicted of the same crime in 1996. According to a forest service officer who testified at that trial, Medenbach was living in “an eight-by-ten-foot tent with a metal flue and wood-burning stove, a nearby campfire, and various cooking and sleeping equipment”.

    According to a court memorandum, the magistrate said that Medenbach posed a risk to public safety and said that he had referenced Ruby Ridge and Waco, two sieges that ended in violence. At a detention hearing, the government said that Medenbach had tried to protect his campsite with “50 to 100 pounds of the explosive ammonium sulfate, a pellet gun, and what appeared to be a hand grenade with trip wires.”

    Convicted and given a six-month suspended sentence, Medenbach appealed the case to the federal ninth circuit court, where he argued that federal ownership of unappropriated public lands was unconstitutional. He also filed a civil suit to demand that federal judges no longer swear an oath of affirmation under the constitution, a position he defended in this blog post from January 2015.

    According to one local report, the two vehicles, one a pickup truck and one a passenger van, bore door signs reading “Harney County Resource Center” – the new name occupiers have given to the sanctuary. The man police suspected of driving the second government vehicle into town already had gone into the grocery store before police arrived, the report said.

    The arrest, which marks the first confrontation between law enforcement and the armed occupiers, came hours before Ammon Bundy, the leader of the militia, and the other armed men had planned to hold a meeting with the local community at which the occupiers said they planned to discuss ending the protest.

    People keep sending them dildos. Now they are complaining that they have enough already. Some people are just not grateful.
