If this was in the planning stages I would understand that, but it's full on execution. What's the debate?

I think his point is that the Feds now need them to do something so drastic that even that pissant judge cant excuse it away. Like I get it, the things they have already done are more than enough reason to get someone arrested but after that Judge botched the case the Feds literally need them to cross a line and shoot someone/hold someone hostage/act on their violent threats so a sympathetic judge wont declare it all mere words and toss it out which would further embarrass and damage the feds and would empower the militias. So yeah its loving dumb but it looks like the feds are trying to get a case that literally noone will defend.

But again, this is all just if I am reading it right.

The danger here (beyond the immediate massive bloodshed problem) is that the state national guard is pulled from the state population, and as such is disproportionately likely to have militia sympathizers in its membership.

I would imagine a national guard member defecting to the militia or rendering any kind of aid to them if they were called into action would prolly get hammered every which way from Sunday by the courts, doubly so if for some magical hypothetical reason Obama gives a federal mobilization order to the state, if that happened they would get crucified by the military courts. Im pretty sure doing that kind of poo poo gets you shot by your buddies too. So yeah I don't think any one of them would be dumb enough to do that.

Yea, but that person would become a hero to the Militia movement. They all have a fantasy that when Obummer orders the US Military to start to take orders from NWO UN Zionist leaders, they'd say hell no! And join in the true blue American patriots, and this would just play on that.

I feel like this is easily shut down by the fact that such defection, if it even occurred, would be minuscule at best. Who cares in the grand CW2.0 scheme if Billy Bob defects if the rest if the people in his unit don't? Just laugh and say "Well now lets see the %99.98 defect and then we will talk". Besides if such occurred the Militia movement would have a hero that pretty much the rest of the US would rightfully see as a traitor. Also who really gives a gently caress in the long run if it gives credence to their insane beliefs if it happens? They don't seem to need an actually person to point to feel fully confident it will happen and if it does happen I don't its going to be a major game changer. There is little to no chance of this defector getting away with it for long since the US really really doesn't like that poo poo so its not like they are going to run free without consequences.
Besides if they were smart the military would just use non local units minimizing the problem.

Doesn't the Air Force and Officers skew that poll heavily since something like 95% of them are in favor of republicans?

Mr Interweb posted:

Most recent Military Times poll I saw says that there's a roughly 65/35 split in the military (well, at least the army) in favor of Republicans. I wouldn't be surprised if a ton of them defected to the militia's side against the tyrant Obummer.

If Obama for some reason decided to be a tyrannical overlord and did some mad power grab It would be morally and probably legally acceptable for the military to refuse to serve and defect to some militia. But thats not what we are discussing and is avoiding the point, what we are discussing is how would the military react if called to arrest a militia squatting on federal lands with no intent to leave and arming themselves, I really really don't think they are going to defect in numbers just to stick to the Democrat in the White house.

Edit: Like that would look really really really bad for the Army/National Guard/Whatever. Like people getting shot for treason bad. Like the entire Military getting a reorganization bad.

You say this like its a good thing

IF the video about the artifacts being stored in rat poo poo and crappy boxes for 30 years is true, and they didn't stage it, it actually looks like they want to do some good here. Getting those things out of literal rat poo poo and somewhere where they are kept and displayed properly is A Good Thing. If they actually do it that is.

Yo I work with collections at a pretty famous anthropological museum and you don't really know what you are talking about, which is cool cause its not super common knowledge about how collections work. Basically lol at trying to find the space to display everything as there are thousands upon thousands of stuff in our collection alone. Just storing things is a major space issue that pretty much every collection has. And yeah as someone mentioned above the way you deal with this is you display the most educational/eye catching/ politically available option and the rest get shelved for future exhibits or study years down the road. Rat poop on bags is not ideal but its not going to do any harm unless the bags are broken, which tends to happen when untrained people handle them.

On my phone so I'm not going to into detail about Archaeologist/Native relations and NAGPRA (Discussion/Debate on this would be its own thread itself) but the local Tribe would have had a say in most if not all of the finds and repatriation of anything will be completely hosed if the militia moves poo poo in and out of boxes and mixes poo poo up. If that happens and the Tribe finds out I expect a huge lawsuit. They (reasonable so) take that poo poo seriously.

A hundred and fifty cars? I guess they could just surround the place up close, inform Cooper that the blood of his children is now in his hands, and wait.

I was assuming there would be MAYBE 8-12 cars, maybe 20? 150 seems like they are really really not loving around and seems to me that this has been in the works for a bit. But I dunno how fast they can get that many vehicles so i may be wrong.

I don't think the laws identify this anymore than they do "He's a 5 headed unicorn!" Which would make it free speech.

It was my (quite possibly mistaken) assumption that blatantly untrue statements that are publicized that had the effect of causing provable damage were actionable in court. If I am being bad and dumb please correct me.

Edit: Looking at the Oregon law codes for defamation seem to support my understanding of the law. So if calling people crisis actor picks up steam there could and should be law suits flying around. Best case scenario is that people have to issue retractions.

I'm not a lawyer and I only pretend to understand municiple codes. I'm more speaking to the fact that the concept of a crisis actor is so out there to the average human being that it would be like declaring unicorns and has no legal precedent as far as I'm aware.

I feel like the general public would understand that someone is claiming someone else is a liar and a fraud easily enough. The word may be strange but I feel like the concept would not be.

Does the person saying it know it's false? Is the person it's said about a public figure? If so, is it said with malicious intent? Does it actually harm the person it's said about? Those are the things that will factor into the defamation alalysis. The latter factor is the one likely to neuter a claim, because only a couple fringe idiots on blogs are likely to take such a claim seriously.

That said, suppose a hundred idiots sunk their teeth into it, blanketed someone's community with leaflets or w/e, and they lost their job. The sure you've got a comparable defamation claim. You will likely be seeking damages from someone who lives in their van though, so good luck.

I may be internet lawyering but I feel like most of there statements could be construed as defamation per se and thus damages are not required to be proved and are automatically assumed. But yeah we are a bit off topic now so Ill stop posting about law stuff. If any one has experience with Oregon law feel free to rip my theory a new one.
