Militia groups are slamming the Oregon occupiers...

Militia Leader: Oregon Takeover Possible False Flag That Could Lead To 'Ghastly Civil War'

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Monday, 1/4/2016 10:52 am

Stewart Rhodes of the Oath Keepers isn’t the only “Patriot” movement leader slamming the armed militia takeover of a federal building in Oregon. Mike Vanderboegh, the leader of the Three Percenters militia group, wrote on his blog yesterday that the group in Oregon, which is being led by sons of rancher Cliven Bundy, is full of “sociopaths and idiots” and probably includes some who are working for the government. Nevertheless, Vanderboegh, who warned at the Bundy ranch that the standoff could lead to “civil war on a vast scale” and more recently warned that a new Oregon gun buyers’ background check law could also lead to a civil war, wrote that if the federal government ends the Oregon standoff with force, he will have no choice but to join the Bundys in — you guessed it — a civil war.

Oath Keepers Urge Members To Back Off Oregon Standoff: 'This Is The Opposite Of The Bundy Ranch'

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Monday, 1/4/2016 10:36 am

After sons of rancher Cliven Bundy led armed militia members in occupying a federal building in Oregon in protest of a federal court ruling regarding two ranchers who were sentenced to jail time for arson on federal lands, at least one “Patriot” group is urging its members to “stay out of” the situation: The Oath Keepers. The leader of the extremist Oath Keepers, one of the biggest players in the standoff at the Bundy ranch in Nevada, thinks that the Bundy brothers have gone too far. In a statement issued on New Year’s Day, Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes said that although he’s sympathetic to Dwight and Steven Hammond, the ranchers convicted of arson, he wants no part in the Bundy sons’ takeover of a federal wildlife refuge because the Hammonds had not asked for help. In a video statement, Rhodes said that the Oregon situation is “exactly the opposite of the Bundy ranch,” claiming that while militia groups “went to Bundy ranch to prevent that family from being Waco’d,” the current standoff is being “manufactured by potheads who want a fight” and is no longer a “peaceful protest.” He added that the Hammonds “were found guilty by a jury of their peers.”

They want to keep their guns, not contribute to having them made illegal.

...the Alex Jones show right now. I used to listen to AJ to understand the mentality of that element of our society, but eventually figured out what we're dealing with there and stopped listening. That was years ago, right after the guy flew the airplane into a building in Austin and within minutes AJ was literally forming his conspiracy theory, on the fly. I have resisted, until now, the urge to go drop in on his craziness after events such as what I now happening in Oregon. That urge was never more powerful than when the Bundy's and their minions stood down the FedGov whenever that was. But this time I gave in and am listening right now.

The purpose, it seems, for this current occupation in Oregon is some sort of plot by Pres. Obama to grab their guns. It's tied in with the George Soros-funded (there's that name again I keep hearing more from conservatives than I do from his supposed benefactors) Black Lives Matter movement and this and a lot of other craziness is all leading to a civil war in 2016.
