As the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge enters its 30th day, it appears the FBI may be locking down lines of communication.

OPB spoke with the remaining occupiers inside the refuge Sunday by cellphone. They say federal authorities have locked down their ability to make or receive calls.

David Fry, one of the four remaining militants, said the FBI made it so the occupiers can’t make outgoing calls on their cellphones. Fry said he can receive incoming calls, but that the other three in the refuge appear unable to receive calls on their cellphones. The militants also said they’ve lost access to the internet.

http://www.opb.org/news/series/burns-oregon-standoff-bundy-militia-news-updates/fbi-blocking-lines-of-communication-militants-say/?t=393309

Of course it's highly possible that their services have been restricted because bills haven't been paid in the last month. They're batshit enough to interpret anything as FBI interference at this point. I did notice lots of people tweeting that they'd gotten hold of their cell phone numbers, so it would make sense to take control of the communication channels - especially with more militants coming into the area for the rolling protests.

This made me chuckle.

quote:

Sean Anderson, another of the remaining militants inside the refuge, expressed frustration with the FBI’s barricade that is preventing media from getting into the refuge.

I don't think you get how this works, Sean.

If they storm in and some of the militants die, militias everywhere will gain momentum. A peaceful surrender is better from that perspective. The last thing the area needs is even more out of town wingnuts having a "reason" to come to the region.

They're going to run out of food eventually. Of course they may decide to go back to the buildings and blow poo poo up or die in a fire at that point or they may take their guns and die trying to break through the checkpoints.

These guys swing between "we want to leave" and "we're willing to die". At least until events outside the refuge escalate, it's worth giving them another day or so to leave.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IR-5umLEvbc


A grown man vowing to destroy the federal government made a loving blanket fort out of a tarp.

The internet made jokes.






Then he tried to shoot at police and Jerry Lewis-ed while bumbling for his gun.




And more tarp jokes came out.

100% serious post:

- 2 idiots poaching on federal land try to hide the evidence by starting a fire

- to hide the evidence they started the fire, they then try to murder firefighters by making the fire bigger

- crazy gun nuts hear this and go to Oregon to stand up for the rights of poachers who attempt to kill firefighters

- the crazy gun nuts took over a federal building (a bird watching station)

- the internet coins the terms Yokel Haram, Y'all Qaeda, Yeehawdists, etc. to mock them

- Doomsday Preppers that make a living by working the land and fancying themselves to be survivalists realize they forgot to bring food to their revolution

- they begged for food on live tv

- PETA replied by sending them vegan jerky

- the internet replied by sending them dildos, a 55 gallon drum of lube, and the sugar-free gummi bears that make you poo poo yourself inside out

- not much happened for a while

- thousands of people who insist you shouldn't gently caress with them because "a revolution is coming" admit they can't attend the revolution because they have bills to pay and can't get out of work

- several guys say they'd love to help overthrow the god damned socialist government but can't because the god drat socialist government hasn't sent them their disability check yet

- 6 were arrested by police as they left the surrounded building to go get snacks

- the ringleader, Ammon Bundy, is arrested because he was invited to come meet a neighboring county's sheriff that said he was sympathetic to their cause. When he left, the world's most obvious trap was sprung.

- Tarp Dude, author of a book about a badass quickdraw gunfighter and doomsday prepper, spends his final days wondering why he didn't bring food. In a showdown with police he bumbled like Jerry Lewis trying to get his gun out of the holster and was annihilated by a slow-moving chubby state trooper.

- as of this writing 4 yeehawdists remain in Fort Dildo

- their opening negotiation with the FBI was "we'll stop breaking laws if you pardon us for breaking laws"

Of course, the Bundys were also claiming that they had a right to handle those artifacts because they're part Native American or some bullshit.

My experience with preservation is limited (basically I can handle textiles from after about 1750 with some degree of competence), but I know enough to know not to- oh my God they are touching things.
