BLM tab, $1,000,000.00, Cliven Bundy trying to write a letter, priceless.

Here's the letter rancher Cliven Bundy sent to @HarneyCoSheriff, @OregonGovBrown and @POTUS #Oregonstandoff


Bundy no doubts wants to make sure Obama has to sign for this himself.

And I thought that you don't start a rebellion until you have your own Postal service!

Meanwhile, at the White House, the irony begins to soak in:

1. .....

[malaise]

2. I hope the Feds are working on his arrest now n/t

[brer cat]

3. We the people

should give notice to Cliven Bundy that we want the unpaid grazing fees he has stolen from us, costs for restoration of our land damaged by his trespass cattle, and compensation for destruction of archaeological artifacts.

[L. Coyote]

5. Apparently, there is a seated grand jury with multiple #BundyRanch targets.

I base this on several clues, not direct sources.

The weirdest letter in American political history saved for last:

10. The FBI works for the IMF? LOL!

Can you imagine the story that notary told her family Sunday evening? "I pretended to sneeze so I wouldn't laugh out loud!"

[central scrutinizer]

4. I'm sick of these freeloading skinheads

in their cowboy hats

[Megahurtz]

12. Even Skinheads would never be this stupid. n/t

[randome]

6. Who the fuck is this asshole who says he speaks for Harney County??

What arrogant ignorance to invade another county in another state and then declare that you're doing it because the residents want you to!
[hr][font color="blue"][center]There is nothing you can't do if you put your mind to it.
Nothing.[/center][/font][hr]

[Wounded Bear]

7. Apparently, Nevada is a suburb of Harney County, OR...

Not sure how a letter postmarked in NV can be seriously opened with the words, "We the People of Harney County Oregon."

The stupid does kind of burn.



on edit: speaking of stupid. Harney County

[L. Coyote]

8. Harney Co is part of the Mormon nation of Deseret! It's their "first claim" and paradigmatic view.

You cannot understand the Mormon perspective without taking into account that they invaded the Native Americans (Mexico) and tried to carve off the northern part of the Spanish realm for themselves, all the way to California, the competing Manifest Destinies of two different Gods.

I am offended when the media calls the Bundy gang "protesters". They are armed militants. #oregonstandoff

[randome]

9. Holy shit, are the Bundys that far gone?

Just goes to show what living an insular and unchallenged life can do to you over time. It's like discovering a family of mutant cannibals living in a remote part of the desert. They are not like us.

[Wounded Bear]

11. Yeah, I've seen that map...

and heard some of their irrational justifications. Would like to think they are harmless eccentrics, but of course they are dangerous, especially if unchecked.

They're hitting on sedition and insurrection here. I don't like calling them "protesters" either. This isn't a peaceful protest, it's an armed occupation.

[Megahurtz]

13. Someone should start

an Arrest Cliven Bundy Petition at the White House. I'm so tired of these brazen militant thieves.

[cwydro]

14. Are those pathetic four still there at the refuge?

I've heard nothing on it.

[L. Coyote]

15. Does appear so. Current thread for updates:

19. Thanks for keeping us posted!

I can't find anything on this situation anywhere.

[HuckleB]

18. "We the people of the citizens..."???

What does that mean? Does he think some of us citizens aren't people?

Such a scumbag at every turn.

[jmowreader]

20. Stopping people from entering and exiting is going to backfire on them QUICK!

Eventually they are going to run out of groceries, snacks and bags of dicks...and if no one can go out to get more or come in to bring them, they'll quickly starve.

Anyway, Cliven royally screwed the pooch with that letter because the feds can use it to tie him to the Malheur standoff for RICO purposes.

[L. Coyote]

21. They have a knack for creating public evidence to indict themselves.

Should be very easy to convict them, and RICO also means seizing all their assets, I assume.[center]

22. RICO means seizing all assets used to further the conspiracy

Since it's not too hard to prove you used everything you own to "further the conspiracy," I figure the feds will try to seize everything those guys own right down to their ten-gallon hats.

23. Arrested Oregon militiamen have had extensive previous run-ins with the law

Arrested Oregon militiamen have had extensive previous run-ins with the law
Sam Levin @SamTLevin Tuesday 2 February 2016

The arrested militiamen of the Oregon refuge occupation have had extensive previous run-ins with the law – and a history of anti-government protests that federal officials are now using against them in court.

In recent filings in federal court in Portland, prosecutors have detailed the criminal histories of the 11 people facing felony charges ....

Jason Patrick, ... faced charges in August 2014 of “making terrorist threats” after he “threatened to kill everyone” inside a Georgia municipal court building ...
