When federal agents pulled out of the ranch to avoid what seemed to be an imminent bloodbath, the militia movement claimed a “victory,” one that has since energized the movement and led to more confrontations.
In Utah, two men pointed a gun at a BLM worker in a federal vehicle as they held up a sign that said, “You need to die.” And on June 8, a shooting spree left three victims dead in Las Vegas, including two police officers. That rampage was committed by Jerad and Amanda Miller, a couple who had spent time at the Bundy ranch during the standoff. Witnesses say they shouted, “This is a revolution!” during the attack. They also draped a “Don’t Tread on Me” flag – also used by the militia movement – on the body of one of the officers.
What we have seen at the ranch and elsewhere can only be described as domestic terrorism. There would be no hesitation to use the word “terrorism” if members of a foreign terrorist network tried to jumpstart a revolution by killing police officers or engaged in a standoff with federal agents. The fact that this threat is coming from within our country doesn’t make it any less dangerous.
In August, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued an intelligence assessment that echoed the findings in our report, War in the West. That DHS assessment said that violent extremists are emboldened by their “victory” in Nevada and that antigovernment violence is likely to increase in the coming months.

odd and almost rude children.
I spoke with him several times in the course of a week, had 9 acres on top of a hill to sell.
He said he would be deeding the land in someone else's name and paying all cash. 
Property had been the highest point in the county, until the county dump, er, ah, landfill grew. It seemed he really wanted the strategic location and even offered me more than asking for it. I said no, something was not quite right about him. Ended up taking a loss on it, but I know I was right.
That's how many veterans, elderly, children, disabled and poor persons are paid directly or indirectly every single month. And today I found this:
Typical dramatic series and radio show programs require fear and tension to tip the attention span of viewers (or readers) to be stressed and receptive to propaganda.
No solution to problems, and no process offered, leaves a default position of letting heirarchies, such as corporations and theolocrats, take control of what should be rational, democratically decided issues with equality for all.
That's what 'government of, by and for the people' requires. Instead, with negative imprinting and no civics knowledge, we will get oligarchy and oppression. The evil old government won't be involved anymore, and there will be no process of appeal.
Then some squeal about it when it's too late, as no vision existed before, nor was it allowed to stand without being jeered to death. JMHO.
