At least Cliven's business was sort of based on cattle, as completely incompetently as it was done. Finnicum was basically a slave holder with even less of a claim on the title of farmer.

Well, he was using slave foster children to ranch his cattle. Freedom isn't free :911:

Yes. Raising foster children as a primary form of income isn't incredibly unusual, nor is it a sign of abuse unto itself. Nor is having the kids work on your farm.

Yeah, that was me. Its second hand hearsay info so take it with a grain of salt. The word around here is that he was a nice enough guy as long as you didn't start talking about the role of federal government.

I was the best man at LaVoy's wedding and also we shared a psychic mind link. I personally felt him sexually abuse each and every one of those children, because we had that weird twin power where if he puts his hand in a flame I feel it and poo poo. He wasn't even sexually attracted to children, he did it because, in his words, "It's the most evil thing I could think of doing to them."

I think the Romney candidacy shone an uncomfortable amount of light on Mormonism, which could lead to more people recognizing that Mormons are roughly about as close to mainstream Christian as Muslims are. The Mormon/Muslim comparison has been around for just about as long as Mormonism has.

Yeah, it's pretty much speculation, but, idk, 50 kids in ten years seems pretty shady. I don't know how long foster kids usually stay with their parents, but he would be averaging about five a year and the reports of his final batch suggested that they didn't stay longer than 12 months.

The difference between Mormonism and Islam is that Mormonism should definitely be illegal. Say what you will about Islam but at least its followers are monotheists and don't wear special undergarments. They can even drink if they get real technical about the 'fruits of palmtrees and grapevines' bit.

Not to mention all the massacres they did back in the Wild West means Mormonism killed way more Americans on a per-capita basis that Islam has. Like Al-Qaeda would basically have to nuke us to catch up.

Later that evening some state legislators & representatives from four states met with
us and voiced their concerns and listened to our story! Our meeting was interrupted by
a retired Army general all dressed in 18th century clothing. He presented Ammon with
his personal Bronze Star and a signed copy of the Declaration of Independence, as this
gentleman was a great grandson of one of the original signers. Ammon was very
425 humbled and didn't want to accept it, but he did.

Assuming they skipped a great- or two there. If it's an authentic document (big if) then a family heirloom would probably be one of the only legit ways to have one these days so I'd be inclined to believe the lineage.

Edit: well, he also just said a signed copy. So it could be a gift shop replica signed by the general :v:

Apparently people were giving all sorts of patriotic stuff to Ammon. I'm confused by the thought process though, because I'm not sure how useful a Marines dress uniform or a flag from the same government you're fighting against, even if it was the one they draped on your brother's coffin, is useful is during an armed occupation.

I'd bet that sovcits who don't file are more likely to be owed money than the other way around, and the IRS is less likely to track you down and force check into your hand.

On April 16, the Oregon Territory Society of Professional Journalists hosted a panel discussion between a group of journalists who covered the occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon. Panelists included Les Zaitz (The Oregonian), Amanda Peacher and John Sepulvado (Oregon Public Broadcasting), Wanda Moore (KTVZ), and Samantha White (Burns Times-Herald). Jeff Wohler, retired Oregonian editor, moderates the discussion.

Mark Kessler was (is?) the head of a anti-government militia. That facebook account is making fun of the same sort of "3%'er" / "Oath Keeper" people he recruited. Don't be so quick to hit Like on his posts. Google his name and watch some of his videos.
The facebook page may be a fake/troll account, but the real dude has made up some pretty crazy conspiracies about working for the federal government to draw out second amendment groups/patriot groups/millitia members to help bring down terrorist organizations. Well, that was his excuse for running a militia while working as a police chief of a small town anyway. An excuse he came up with after being fired for terrorizing the town.

quote:

“Whereas, the Chief of Police of Gilberton, Pennsylvania have usurped the government of the Town of Gilberton through the use of arms and armed intimidation and Whereas, he has recruited armed vigilantes to block access to town meetings and further has threatened and intimidated town citizens who might speak out in opposition against him and Whereas he has posted videos threatening the life of Secretary of State John Kerry and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi; we the people of the United States call on the President of the United States, Barack H. Obama to order the federalizing of the Pennsylvania National Guard to go to Gilberton to disarm the Chief and his gang and restore law and order to the Town of Gilberton,” the petition reads in full.

Pictures of the people who showed up to provide "security" when he was being suspended as police chief:
