Bundys Tell Oregon Ranchers To Tear Up Grazing Contracts & Tell Fed. Gov't to fuck-off.
Heard this on Oregon's public radio today, and posting to illustrate just how fucked-up this thing
in Oregon is becoming. Here we have armed-to-the-teeth land-grabbers inciting an expanded
armed insurgency to take over Federal land at the point of a gun. The FBI? Meh. who cares.
How can any sane human being look at this as anything other than domestic terrorism? How can
our so-called law enforcement agents -- responsible for the safety and security of Federal lands and
buildings -- just sit-by and watch these guys carry-on this way?
Thoughts?

Bundys Urge Oregon Ranchers To Tear Up Grazing Contracts
by Conrad Wilson and Amelia Templeton * OPB * Jan. 18, 201
The militants occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge asked Harney County ranchers at a meeting Monday night to cancel their leases with the federal government.
The three-hour meeting took place just outside Crane, Oregon, at a hot springs resort.
Ammon and Ryan Bundy, the leaders of the occupation, said they wanted to make Harney County an example of a place free from the federal government. “The opportunity is now, and the place is Harney County,and you are the people,” said Ammon Bundy. “They’ll never be an opportunity like this again.”
The start of the meeting was not unlike a pitch for a timeshare. The lights dimmed and on came a short film with dramatic music. But rather than white sandy beaches, the projected images depicted dramatic landscapes of the American West.
In the nearly three hours that followed, the Bundys and a few of their core supporters led a room of largely Harney County ranchers through a presentation. At times it took on the tone of a civics lesson — one that included readings from pocket Constitutions distributed beforehand. At other times, speakers seemed to invoke the fiery passions of a preacher delivering a sermon from the pulpit.
