New Militants, Supplies Arrive With Ease At Malheur Refuge

[phantom power]

New militants continue to join the occupation at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

The armed occupiers still won’t tell exactly how many people are occupying the refuge headquarters, but it’s clear some newcomers have shown up. OPB reporters estimate that the number of occupiers has grown to about 30, even with the apparent departure of some of the first occupiers.

...

The occupiers have developed an elaborate staffing system with schedules and responsibilities laid out clearly on charts. The militant women organize new supplies as they arrive and cook meals together in the kitchen.

1. This will not end well....

and the longer it goes on the worse's it becomes.

[peacebird]

2. Get generators and fuel to the ranches beyond the refuge and cut power.

Block their cell and wifi, establish a perimeter, allow no one to enter, and arrest those that leave.

[daleanime]

6. Agreed.....

Should have been done day one.

[phantom power]

3. Every day we joke about snacks, they're laying in supplies and organizing.

4. The FBI is now apparently "negotiating" with the Bundy Terrorists

Whatever happened to "we never negotiate with armed terrorists"? I guess if you are a white
supremacist and wear a cowboy hat, it's different somehow.

BURNS – Ammon Bundy, standing in a biting, freezing wind Thursday at the police blockade to the local airport, borrowed a cellphone from an FBI agent.

On the other end was an FBI negotiator who identified himself to Bundy only as "Chris."

And so opened talks between the leader of the refuge occupation and the federal agency in charge of bringing an end to the armed takeover, now in its third week.

For nearly an hour around noontime, the negotiator listened to Bundy's well-practiced litany of complaints against the federal government while probing for what it would take to end his occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

They ended the call with the promise to talk again Friday.

10. They make word sounds about "the constitution" so they can't be terrorists.

QED!

11. So did OWS, but they got pepper-sprayed, teargassed, beaten up & jailed for it.

Snap!! that's right. OWS weren't white supremacists and they weren't armed-to-the-teeth.

never mind.

15. NYPD bulldozed OWS protesters' belongings and threw them out of Ziocotta Park in the

dead of night during a blizzard, iirc

5. naturally, the women are doing all the cooking, all the actual work.

[left-of-center2012]

7. Bet the ladies are doing the cleaning too.

[niyad]

16. of course they are. the menz are too busy toting around their penis extensions and trying

[Brickbat]

12. Always, no matter the revolution.

[niyad]

17. pretty much

[Takket]

13. Hey I'm sure the men are donig plenty of work too

Someone has to man the guard tower in case Obama attacks and these cigars and beers aren't going to smoke and drink themselves!

[world wide wally]

8. If they're not paying their utilities bills, shouldn't they get cut off?

I know the rest of us would

[phantom power]

9. Apparently it shares a circuit with other customers, somehow

I forget the details, but they can't just cut power to the refuge without cutting other people's power as well.

[flamingdem]

14. One ongoing excuse is the presence of women and possibly kids

Guessing that is a negotiating point.
