yeah, a couple of the people saying this are too good to be fakes.

that's a great outcome - it means they're heavily discredited AFTER their prison time as being secret government collaborators.

MAN I still cannot believe how amazing it was to get almost all the leaders at once. Go FBI

Christ, woke up and saw 1400+ posts, figured something finally happened. I hope the Bundy bros spend the rest of their lovely lives in prison, maybe their dad can join them while the feds seize their ranch for unpaid grazing fees. If so they should turn it in to a refuge instead of auctioning it off. :getin:

I hope every single person from the Bundy Ranch standoff, especially the bridge sniper rear end in a top hat, are shaking in loving terror right now wondering if the Feds are going to decide to come after them now too.

They still have food at the refuge. It's the people supposedly coming in from outside who were complaining about being hungry and thirsty.

Imagine if the FBI convoy from the airport was actually them heading to breakfast but they told the news that they were "rolling out" absent any other specificity, which got turned into "they're headed toward Malheur" causing the seditionists to flee. In short, what if it was one last judo mindfuck from the feds to achieve maximum efficiency.

Nothing confirmed but it seems like a number have tried to enter the refuge and have gotten stopped at the roadblocks. (On the stream they were giving directions put to help avoid the roadblocks.) The FBI has a press conference scheduled in about 3 hours so I imagine we will hear something about attempted reinforcements if it has happened then.

The feds have handled this impressively well. They managed to isolate the leadership and then spook everyone that wasn't a complete fanatic into bailing from the refuge. And with it seeming that the SovCit Sheriff was some kind of deep cover op, it's going to send shock waves of paranoia through the liberty movement.

Really, the FBI handled this in about the best way possible in terms of shaking their narrative so that the maximum amount woke up and smelt reality.

If that sheriff isn't a deep cover op I hope the feds publicly thank him for his assistance. Either way he's probably not going to sleep easy if he's a True Believer and the movement sees him as a traitor to their cause.

Leadership fought as soon as they were given a chance, capturing the bulk of them in one go was a masterstroke. There are still about a dozen or so at the refuge vowing to go down fighting.

The FBI has played this perfectly to keep the amount of violence to a minimum, thus preventing as many potential martyrs as possible. I'm frankly impressed with how well it's been handled.

It also seems they had places like the hospital under very heavy guard while this went down to prevent any opportunists from striking.

They're also trying to block people from leaking pictures of LaVoy's body, because that's free martyr publicity if they do.

I wish they'd release footage of the actual shooting. Not because I'm a death-loving freak, I just want the whole thing out there to cut down on (because we know people will never completely stop alleging it) the talk about him being executed.
