Oregon Occupation stragglers speak with both sides of mouth

We are not surrendering! We are turning ourselves in.


The occupiers are coming out, one at a time.

BUSTED: Rancher and right-wing tax-dodging darling Cliven Bundy arrested in Oregon

Cliven Bundy, the scofflaw Nevada rancher whose dispute over grazing fees led to a 2014 armed showdown with the federal government, was arrested late Wednesday in Oregon as he went to lend support to armed militants holed up at a wildlife preserve.

The 74-year-old Bundy was charged with conspiracy to interfere with a federal officer — the same federal charge two of his sons face in connection with the Jan. 2 takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

The elder Bundy also faces weapons charges.

His bodyguard, Jonathan Speece, was reportedly questioned and released, and a second man traveling with them, Jason Blomgren, was also arrested on unspecified charges.

His family posted on their Facebook page that a SWAT team was awaiting Bundy’s arrival at the Portland airport and took him into custody.

The rancher and his companions were on his way from Portland to Burns, Oregon, near the nature preserve where FBI agents have closed in on four remaining occupiers.

Bundy Busted! Finally!

The last drama, in the attention whoring for Koch operation.

One straggler decides to be the center of attention.

You mean more marijuana. It was quite obvious from their stupidity and nonsensical comments they had been smoking.

Bodyguard? WTF? Talk about paranoia. If the federal government wanted Bundy dead that wanna be bodyguard would find out very quickly a bullet moves faster than he can.

Seems kind of silly to call out 'Liberty or death' while surrendering!

Those vicious lefty liberal lynch mobs.

Maybe he is there to take a tomato for Bundy. Brave bastard!

Give me liberty or a joint will do.

The women occupied the kitchen...

"While the men militants give the press briefings, lecture reporters on the constitution, and stand guard with semi-automaPpltic rifles, the women sort incoming supplies, make giant pots of chili and wash clothes."

"She sweeps and cooks and cleans in the background, every so often stealing away to the outdoor campfire for a cigarette."

"Just a few days into the occupation, she transformed an exercise room for the refuge employees into an organized stock room."

"She sang hymns while running the vacuum cleaner through the common areas and said she hopes to organize a regular Bible study."


“I am here strictly to bring people to salvation if that is God’s will,” she said. She sang hymns while running the vacuum cleaner through the common areas and said she hopes to organize a regular Bible study."


"Many of the initial crew of women began drifting away by the end of week three..."


"I was always taught that cleanliness is next to Godliness..."
" She says the women sweep and mop the refuge bunkhouse twice daily."

How good government made fools of Cliven Bundy and his self-styled revolutionaries

And other than Leroy Finicum, who maintained his vow to never be taken alive, and a minor wound suffered by Ryan Bundy, the FBI ended the standoff without bloodshed. Federal attorneys even showed restraint in charging the group. Twenty-five of the Malheur occupiers were indicted on a single felony charge of conspiring to impede officers of the US government through the use of force. They face up to six years in prison if convicted. (Another occupier was arrested on unrelated charges.)

Cliven Bundy, detained as he arrived in Oregon, also sits in jail, but two years after he started this mess, they threw the book at him. He was charged with six counts related to the 2014 standoff that began with his refusal to pay grazing fees for his cattle. They include assault on a federal law enforcement officer, the use of a firearm in the commission of a violent crime, obstruction of justice and interfering with commerce through extortion. If convicted on all charges, Cliven Bundy could be sentenced for up to 47 years – a potential life sentence for the 69-year-old rancher.

Yup, standard teahadist boilerplate. Bad mouthing the government while having your operations funded by the Koch Bros.

As Bill Maher said if these guys really wanted to die defending their country (which they clearly didn't) we've got some wars available we'll happily ship them off to.

One week after the final four anti-government protesters surrendered at the Malheur national wildlife refuge in rural Harney County, federal investigators have begun the long task of processing the “crime scene” and have uncovered firearms, explosives, potential booby traps and large piles of human excrement, prosecutors wrote in a new court filing.

“Occupiers appear to have excavated two large trenches and an improvised road on or adjacent to grounds containing sensitive artifacts,” Billy Williams, US attorney, wrote in a Tuesday filing in federal court, outlining the FBI’s findings in its preliminary investigation. “At least one of those trenches contains human feces.”

Additionally, he wrote, “tactical teams responsible for initially securing the refuge reported significant amounts of human feces in and around an outdoor camping area”.

Because the female house keepers were not there to maintain cleanliness, the bathrooms were no longer functional ?

August 27, 2016

The widow of Lavoy Finicum, the 54-year-old Arizona rancher and key figure in the Malheur Wildlife Refuge occupation earlier this year, plans to sue the Oregon State Police and FBI for civil rights violations relating to his death, her lawyer told The Oregonian/OregonLive on Saturday.

California-based attorney Brian Claypool, who said he plans to sue both the state police and two individual FBI agents over Lavoy Finicum's death on Jan. 26 on a remote stretch of Highway 395 north of Burns.


Claypool said, although a lawsuit had not been filed yet, Finicum's family would be moving forward with the claim "with 100 percent certainty." Claypool said more details on the suit would be revealed at a press conference in late September.

The judge ruled that the investigation into an alleged FBI agent's shooting at Robert "LaVoy" Finicum's truck on Jan. 26 and an alleged coverup of the shooting by FBI agents can't be introduced at next month's trial. "Mr. Finicum's shooting will have an airing some day, in some court but not this one."

Ryan Bundy, who is representing himself with a standby counsel and volunteer paralegal, is set to go before Judge Brown Tuesday afternoon, to argue why the judge shouldn't strip him of his pro se status.

The judge said she's poised to appoint him a lawyer because of his "open defiance'' of court authority and unwillingness to follow court orders. Co-defendant Kenneth Medenbach will also be given the chance at that hearing to argue why the court shouldn't strip him of his right to represent himself.


http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/08/judge_quashes_ryan_bundys_subp.html

Since March, Kenneth Medenbach has raised questions during his pending criminal case about the oath taken by U.S. District Judge Anna J. Brown. His lawsuit names Brown along with U.S. Attorney Billy Williams and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Craig Gabriel, Geoffrey Barrow and Ethan Knight as defendants.

Medenbach on Wednesday filed his complaint pro se, representing himself and 26 others involved in standoff-related cases. The suit demands that all plaintiffs in jail be released and that all pending criminal matters against standoff defendants be dismissed. Each plaintiff seeks no more than $100,000 in punitive damages for the time they've spent in custody and no more than $50,000 each for lost wages, Medenbach wrote in the complaint.
