Y’All Qaeda Says They’re Staying for “Years” - But They Might Need a Little More Food

A little light in the planning department
Wingnuts • Views: 49,853

From reporter Amanda Peacher, here’s a photo of the “supply room” at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge.

At least these scary armed militants didn’t forget the beer — a lovely Mirror Pond Pale Ale with a tawny color and delicious hop-forward aroma. And is that a Karaoke machine?

But if they’re really going to hole up there for “years” as they said, they might need some more Doritos.

OT:

Deal cited an opinion last week by Georgia Attorney General Samuel Olens, also a Republican, in his new order withdrawing his instructions to state agencies to halt involvement in accepting Syrian refugees for resettlement.

Olens had ruled that Georgia did not have the authority to exclude refugees from particular countries, despite concerns about the federal government’s security screening procedures.

Here’s a tip, fools: There isn’t much of a living to be had in the Oregon wilderness in winter. That’s one reason bears and other knowledgeable locals stock up, so to speak, and sleep all winter.
Or they might plan to use their superior field craft and ninja magic to sneak past the feds and rob some local Mormons.

I really do believe that was their plan, that they’d be welcomed to set up shop on Hammond’s ranch, the local community would support them because they’re a small rural town that’s “Real ‘Murika,” and then stage a standoff with the Feds when they came to arrest the Hammonds for refusal to surrender themselves to federal custody.

Then that plan fell through because the Hammonds told them to piss off, the town ordered them out, and the locals want nothing to do with them. So came up with the “cunning plan” of taking over a local bit of federal land, expecting that this would lead to “patriots” across the land rushing to their aid.

Water will get them quicker, but without calories in freezing temps, they’ll be real miserable, real fast. IIRC, they took over the visitors center at the refuge, which was closed.

Why is cell service still in place out there when it could easily be turned off?

Why are you allowing these trespassers free access to unlimited media coverage?

First step should be cutting off the power. However, this being a remote location I would not be surprised if there was a back-up generator on site. But, even back-up generators will eventually run out of fuel.

Since they’re begging for food supplies I suspect they haven’t busted into some of the other buildings at the site. One of those other buildings probably has a cache of firefighting supplies including cases of MREs. Probably not enough to last more than a week or so.

I did see photos of the occupiers using cell phones at the headquarters. The cell tower and the land lines need to be shut off with only one land line going directly to the FBI Incident Command Post to maintain direct communications.

Looking at the Google photos it appears there are several mobile trailers on site. These are probably for their summer employees and I suspect they have been closed and winterized.

Also the aerial photos show several other buildings which may be year round housing for permenent employees. Breaking into the housing units would be the same as breaking into a private residence. I did see a post somewhere where one of the permenent employees, who apparently lived at the Headquarters, stated he had called DISH TV and had his subscription cancelled “so those assholes would not be watching TV on his dime”.

As i’ve mentioned in other threads, this is a piss-poor location for a “stand-off”. Just block the roads, let no one enter, arrest everyone leaving, and confisticate their vehicles and firearms.

Just sit and wait for them to come to you.

FBI should scatter around the compound a couple of body mics that have tape and body hair attached, like they were hastily discarded by undercover agents. Then sit back and watch the paranoia do its work.

Excellent idea. There is no telling what FBI psychologists might be able to come up for use against people who are pretty neurotic to start with and under unprecedented stress.

Those sight lines are just ridiculous. Parabolic and laser microphones probably have miles of range out there.

Also, all the surface water is probably riddled with Giardia, which you can thank your parents and grandparents generation for because they didn’t know how to shit in the woods. So they’d better hope that well pumps out potable water, because I doubt these clowns brought much in the way of filtration equipment.

Then there’s the likelihood I detailed last night that the local septic system isn’t designed to handle very much load while the leach fields are all frozen over in winter.

So, good odds this ends with FBI agents listening to the dulcet tones of dysentery.

As one of the leaders of a band of armed, anti-government activists who have taken over a National Park Service building in Oregon, Ammon Bundy has denounced the “tyranny” of the federal government. And he has brought a new round of attention to the anti-government militia movement that in 2014 rallied behind his father, Cliven Bundy, when the elder Bundy and armed supporters confronted federal agents in Nevada. But not long ago, Ammon Bundy sought out help from the government he now decries and received a federal small-business loan guarantee.

Ammon Bundy runs a Phoenix-based company called Valet Fleet Services LLC, which specializes in repairing and maintaining fleets of semitrucks throughout Arizona. On April 15, 2010—Tax Day, as it happens—Bundy’s business borrowed $530,000 through a Small Business Administration loan guarantee program. The available public record does not indicate what the loan was used for or whether it was repaid. The SBA website notes that this loan guarantee was issued under a program “to aid small businesses which are unable to obtain financing in the private credit marketplace.” The government estimated that this subsidy could cost taxpayers $22,419. Bundy did not respond to an email request for comment about the SBA loan.

In December 2008, during the closing weeks of the Bush White House, 27-year-old environmental activist Tim DeChristopher went to protest the auction of gas and oil drilling rights to more than 150,000 acres of publicly-owned Utah wilderness. But instead of yelling slogans or waving a sign, DeChristopher disrupted the proceedings by starting to bid. Given an auction paddle designating him “Bidder 70”, DeChristopher won a dozen land leases worth nearly two million dollars. He was arrested for criminal fraud, found guilty, and sentenced to two years in federal prison — even though the new Obama Administration had since declared the oil and gas auction null and void.

billmoyers.com

The U.S. Attorney’s office had also argued that “a federal prison term here will deter others from entering a path of criminal behavior.”

Judge Benson imposed a sentence of two years in prison and a $10,000 fine, saying that were it not for his “continuing trail of statements” post-auction, DeChristopher might have avoided prosecution and prison. According to the judge, “The offense itself, with all apologies to people actually in the auction itself, wasn’t that bad.”

en.wikipedia.org

Why did Tim DeChristoper go to prison, and these yahoos are holding press conferences while armed and illegally occupying government land? (And that’s after the Bundy orgasmaganza, with said yahoos aiming guns at federal agents, etc.)

Well, I just finished watching ABC’s Evening News recap on the Malheur standoff, and my main takeaway was there seems to be NO serious LE presence there at all; that (despite their appeals for food), the occupiers seem to have made themselves quite at home and comfortable; and while The Authorities seem to have found Harney County hard to get to, the news media haven’t had the same problem.
Oh, and little mention of the “armed takeover” aspect of the thing: only that these clowns apparently only want to “distribute” all that Federal land.

Question from a non-Facebooker. Sometimes rage furby’s facebook says Claremont Colleges; other times, Clovis; and I think I’ve seem Los Angeles as well. Does facebook have GPS to determine where things are being posted from?

I haz a confuzed.

Facebook determines your location based on your IP address for desktop/browser logins and based on mobile location services if you’re posting from a phone/tablet. If he’s posting from an actual computer and has a dynamic IP address, his physical location would appear to bounce around depending on where his currently allocated IP address is registered in the GeoIP database. Also, if he switches between posting from his mobile and posting from his laptop, that would explain some of it.

“Distribute”? And let me guess, they think they should be the ones to decide who the land is “distributed” to. For free, of course, because these ranchers have a “right” to it.

If the wingnuts were really supportive of the “good stewards of the land” or whatever claptrap they use to express the same idea, they’d be supportive of such refuges and efforts to create protective areas for wildlife. The refuge exists to protect species like the deer that the Hammonds poached and then torched 130 acres to cover up the evidence.

Hell, even the “good” things that the Hammonds did were for their own personal self-interest. The “breakfire” they set, downhill from a firefighter camp and thus endangering the lives of others, was strictly for the purpose of protecting their property. Even if you believe the malarkey about their burning an “invasive species,” they allowed 130 acres of federal land to be torched simply because they were either too dumb or too careless to ensure that the fire stayed within the boundaries of their property. And why were they burning that “invasive species”? To ensure the grazing land of their cattle, not because it might cause damage to the environment.

Having looked at the land around where they are, they’ll have a hell of a time trying to “live off the land”. The only trees are the ones around the visitors center, so no firewood. Not likely to be much game, and they’d be fools to go out after it with guns. Not gonna be pulling much out of the ground to eat, either.

If the land there is anything like the lower (still over 3000’) altitude land 100 miles west around Bend then the local “trees” might just be stunted juniper amidst sage and rabbit brush.

My parents lived between Redmond and Bend for about eight years. The locals describe the area as “high desert” since the area gets <10” of precipitation per year due to the Cascades. So unless you’re high enough to start getting the pines the land there is pretty bare.

And the fire thing is taken pretty seriously by the locals since a brush fire can get big and move fast. My brother described northern Nevada as shrub which “would catch fire if you looked sideways at it.” Though the one time I did the drive from Bend to Colorado via Elko, NV it was right after a fairly rare rain in the area. Things were green, there was actual water on the salt flats, and billions of pronghorn antelope were roaming about.

And if they want to complain about executive overreach, maybe they should look back at Reagan, who issued nearly 50% more EOs than Obama has. 381 to 227 (so far). Obama has issued far fewer on an annual basis and per term than his predecessors. You have to go back to Grover Cleveland’s first time to find someone issuing them at a lower rate. JFK issued 214 in less than 4 years. GWB issued 291. GHWB issued 166 in one term.

If I understand correctly the “invasive species” is juniper. It is, in fact, native and it is advancing into grasslands used for grazing, however (and this is a really big however,) the reason it isn’t there already is that the Indians burned the area regularly to keep it grassland. The best practices method of dealing with it is cutting and making burn piles, but the amount of labor is enormous and I don’t blame ranchers for just burning it in situ.

I’ve started watching “The Man in the High Castle”. I’m intrigued by it, but I can’t say that I’m ‘enjoying’ it. I’m on Episode 3, and I can honestly say that there hasn’t been a single ‘light’ moment in it. It’s a tiring show to watch in some ways.

re: #184 Wendell Zurkowitz (slave to the waffle light)

I again propose (are you listening, Charles?) a “super upding” function - that you can use no more than say once a week - that allows you to give 10 updings to any single post.

So you want to create a ten-ding topic?

In a sane world, I’d assume someone with a profile that looks like his has to be parody, but it’s a thoroughly brainwashed 15-year-old in our world.

If you zoom out on the map, there are only three places you need to control - two on highway 206 and the access to the road south of the lake. Anyone trying to come in without using the roads has the usual high desert terrain, ravines and things to contend with.

There’s not enough snow for a snowmobile and too much for many vehicles, and definitely it’s no place for someone who hasn’t driven in that kind of terrain. All 4WD does is let you dig in deeper and faster.

Also the Japanese Red Army, best known for a terrorist attack at an Israeli airport, but they also hijacked a domestic Japanese flight, and took other actions against Japanese government buildings outside Japan.

And the “East Asia Anti-Japan Armed Front” which bombed the offices of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

There was another group connected to the JRE, but they mostly killed their own members in Maoist-style disciplinary meetings where the group would punish members for not measuring up ideologically.
