I could be wrong, my understanding of most of the nuttier Mormon splinter groups is that they're not particularly wealthy. Doesn't rule out their involvement, but if I were to take a shot in the dark, I'd say it's more likely a group like the American Lands Council (they're apparently even using their map).

You're correct about the Mormon splinter groups- few are wealthy. The source of concern for McNab and myself is that this incarnation of sovcit appears to be specifically fixated on "returning" land, something that aligns with a number of extractive interests.

edit: McNab believes, with decent evidence, that it's the American Lands Council. Click the below tweet for the full set of screenshots showing when they started funding the Bundys. The timeline for them being behind this iteration of the sovcit movement fits quite well.

This terribly formatted blog post does a nice review of the organization's background, aside from some anti-Mormonism that comes through. ALC does appear to be behind the Bundys, but their funding sources aren't clear. The ringleader of that group is a guy named Ken Ivory, who is a state legislator and is really hardcore into the selling off lands thing- he's built his career around it.

At least at first, the new world order will be painkillers and insulin. After that it's tough to predict, as some corrupt politician will probably go off the insulin standard and start the cycle all over again :rolleyes:

And if the difference isn't race, why did you immediately assume that Who What Now was talking about race even though they didn't specify?

Because multiple people are claiming this is different because they arent black, and he wasnt exactly subtle. A lot of these people also dont read anything people in the last 100 pages say and just keep calling them racist. By all means though, act like a complete shitheap and fufill the tumblr stereotype that turns people off of progressive issues.

Compared to ferguson, these dudes havent set anything on fire or attacked anyone. Its also been going on a comparatively shorter time than say OWS and is arguably having a smaller impact on a lot less people because its some cabins in the woods and a small town vs a major location for the US economy.

There is also the difference in that these are feds and not local police. Theres also the fact these feds know how to handle a situation far better than local police. Stop being an idiot.

Please instead send your sex toys, survival guides, and copies of the US Constitution to Ken Ivory the guy who appears to be bankrolling the more recent land seizure sovcit activities. It's kinda his thing.

edit: FWIW it's possible (though I wouldn't bet on it) that Finicum and his wife were excellent foster parents. Being bad at one thing doesn't translate to others, necessarily, and foster parents are in short supply. My main suspicion otherwise would be the propensity for homeschooled brainwashing in the sovcit movement.
