Shots fired, Bundy arrested

One might wonder why a research facility and offices were built on or near them.

Indeed. From the article I just assumed that the mention I made was regarding a campsite that was operated by the refuge.

I noticed I forgot the link and added it to the above post.

Here was another good one from the article that was amazingly vague yet condemning....

Williams also said in the filing - which was a response to occupiers' requests to have their attorneys allowed onto the site - that firearms and explosives were found, and it was feared vehicles and buildings could be booby trapped.
 
So, of course the New York Post went exactly where I said the media would take it...


Headline: Oregon occupiers s–t all over sensitive cultural site at refuge

I'm not even gonna link it. They don't deserve traffic.
 
Of course there's more footage...


and audio.


There's individual body cam footage. Guarantied. There is also recording of all the "tactical officers" involved. There is no doubt. This info is recorded so that after action reports can be made. For the Gov. to say that there is no on the ground recording of either audio or video is pure bullshit.

This is well worth the listen! In the middle of it right now, but he talks about how Ammon et al were gaining the interest and respect of Harney county residents, specifically the farmers and ranchers, and how he followed FBI provocateurs and confronted them because they were pretending to be militia and bullying the townspeople. This is Chris Briels, retired Fire Chief, well known and respected in his town.



Judge Grasty is a snake!

Edit: He's not retired! He resigned after a confrontation with the snake Grasty, his boss! He knows Ammon, and he met and shook hands with LaVoy.

The FBI was aware of this already, David Fry stated as much in his YouTube videos. They were intentionally camping outside using a trench as a restroom and forgoing showers so as to assert that they are merely camping outside on public lands and not occupying a federal building. If the FBI was truly concerning about maintaining the habitat, the FBI should have granted them permission to just live inside the living quarters with electricity and water.

Besides, they were camping out next to the buildings and parking lot along a graded dirt turn-about, there are no artifacts there, there are no birds depending on access to that roadway.

The FBI did this to themselves.

Federal Grand Jury In Nevada Indicts Cliven Bundy And Four Others For Felony Crimes Related To 2014 Standoff

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Nevada resident Cliven Bundy and four others were indicted by the federal grand jury today on 16 felony charges related to the armed assault against federal law enforcement officers that occurred in the Bunkerville, Nev. area on April 12, 2014.

U.S. Attorney Daniel G. Bogden for the District of Nevada, Special Agent in Charge Laura Bucheit for the FBI in Nevada, and Bureau of Land Management Director Neil Kornze made the announcement.

“The rule of law has been reaffirmed with these charges,” said U.S. Attorney Bogden. “Persons who use force and violence against federal law enforcement officers who are enforcing court orders, and nearly causing catastrophic loss of life or injury to others, will be brought to justice.”

“This indictment sends a resounding message to those who wish to participate in violent acts that our resolve to pursue them and enforce the law remains unwavering,” said Special Agent in Charge Bucheit.

“Today marks a tremendous step toward ending more than 20 years of law breaking,” said Bureau of Land Management Director Neil Kornze. “The nation's public lands belong to all Americans.”

Cliven D. Bundy, 69, of Bunkerville, Nev., Ryan C. Bundy, 43, of Mesquite, Nev., Ammon E. Bundy, 40, of Emmet, Idaho, Ryan W. Payne, 32, of Anaconda, Mont., and Peter T. Santilli, Jr., 50, of Cincinnati, Ohio, are charged with one count of conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, one count of conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer, four counts of using and carrying a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, two counts of assault on a federal officer, two counts of threatening a federal law enforcement officer, three counts of obstruction of the due administration of justice, two counts of interference with interstate commerce by extortion, and one count of interstate travel in aid of extortion. The indictment also alleges five counts of criminal forfeiture which upon conviction would require forfeiture of property derived from the proceeds of the crimes totaling at least $3 million, as well as the firearms and ammunition possessed and used on April 12, 2014.

The defendants are currently in custody in Oregon. Their arraignments on these charges have not yet been set.

The indictment states that the charges result from a massive armed assault against federal law enforcement officers that occurred in and around Bunkerville, Nev., on April 12, 2014. The defendants are alleged to have planned, organized, and led the assault in order to extort the officers into abandoning approximately 400 head of cattle that were in their lawful care and custody. In addition to conspiring among themselves to plan and execute these crimes, the defendants recruited, organized, and led hundreds of other followers in using armed force against law enforcement officers in order to thwart the seizure and removal of Cliven Bundy’s cattle from federal public lands. Bundy had trespassed on the public lands for over 20 years, refusing to obtain the legally-required permits or pay the required fees to keep and graze his cattle on the land.

The indictment charges that Cliven Bundy was the leader, organizer, and chief beneficiary of the conspiracy, and possessed ultimate authority over the conspiratorial operations and received the economic benefits of the extortion. The remaining defendants are charged as leaders and organizers who conspired with Bundy to achieve his criminal objectives.

The maximum penalties for the charges are stated below.

Conspiracy to Commit an Offense Against the U.S. – 5 years, $250,000 fine

Conspiracy to Impede and Injure a Federal Law Enforcement Officer – 6 years, $250,000 fine

Assault on a Federal Law Enforcement Officer – 20 years, $250,000 fine

Threatening a Federal Law Enforcement Officer – 10 years, $250,000 fine

Use and Carry of a Firearm in Relation to a Crime of Violence – 5 years minimum and consecutive

Obstruction of the Due Administration of Justice - 10 years, $250,000 fine

Interference with Interstate Commerce by Extortion - 20 years, $250,000 fine

Interstate Travel in Aid of Extortion – 20 years, $250,000 fine

The case is being investigated by the FBI and the Bureau of Land Management. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Steven W. Myhre and Nicholas D. Dickinson and Special Assistant U.S. Attorneys Nadia J. Ahmed and Erin M. Creegan.

The public is reminded that an indictment contains only charges and is not evidence of guilt. The defendants are presumed innocent and entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Who says the fedgov doesn't have a sense of humor.
 
Even if they get acquitted, most of them aren't getting out before 2-3 years worth of trials.
 
Lavoy Finicum: Warned About Ambush In Phone Call

State licensing board seeks investigation of Grant County sheriff who met militants

The state agency that licenses police officers has asked the Oregon Justice Department to investigate Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer, who met with leaders of the armed wildlife refuge occupation.

Palmer referred to the police operation as an "ambush," a description that drew a sharp rebuke from the Oregon State Sheriffs' Association, which represents all 36 elected sheriffs.

Citizens opposed to the militia presence have asked county officials to declare their own opposition. A resolution to do so has been hotly debated at recent weekly meetings of the Grant County Court, which functions as the board of commissioners. The court has scheduled a third session on the resolution for next Wednesday.

It has begun... the 'Night of the Long Knives'...
We had our chance.
Now they take us down one by one.
