Former sheriff: Women need to be the first ones shot by feds in Bundy Ranch standoff
snip//
"A former Arizona sheriff who has taken the side of cattle ranchers in Nevada said this week that he would have allowed his own wife and daughters to be shot as human shields because it would look bad for the federal government on television.
In a statement to Fox News on Monday that was first flagged by Glenn Becks The Blaze, former Sheriff Richard Mack talked about his strategy to put women on the front lines if a gunfight broke out between rogue federal agents and rancher Cliven Bundy, who reportedly owes the taxpayers more than $1 million for allowing his cattle to graze on government land.
]We were actually strategizing to put all the women up at the front, he recalled. If they are going to start shooting, its going to be women that are going to be televised all across the world getting shot by these rogue federal officers.
raw story
yeah, f**king Domestic Terrorists.

(5,082 posts)Too bad NSA considers anyone opposing corporate totalitarianism or the drug war a terrorist. Everyone knows cops are overrun with evil and their wars on civil rights have corrupted this country beyond recognition but what kind of misled monster goes around shooting random cops? There are thousands of families whose members have been innocent and murdered by rogue cops and you don't see them picking up arms yet? These fools are easily manipulated, privelidged right wingers who I bet are just angry they are poor and screwed by an unequal system they haven't begun to understand yet. Of course NSA did nothing to prevent this as they are there to blackmail high profile figures, target left wing activists and run command and control for the failed, unpopular drug war. All those billions spent since the 70s and they have allowed everything from 911 to mass shootings. Our system is broken and corrupted. It's too bad we have to tell our kids to be afraid of the police and neve invite them to help because if it were different I know this would happen less.

(297,154 posts)I thought the mantra around here was that they are supposed to be preventing the terrorism. I have yet to see it.

(5,082 posts)These people were kicked off the Bundy ranch a month ago for being too extreme and threatening violence...the guy actually said it in a live on tv on site interview...during a face off with federal agents. What more do you want? If NSA didn't try to stop this guy then their whole domestic program is USELESS... Unless its just a tool of the drug war or political blackmail. I recall when people here claimed NSA was only for foreign wiretapping but the goalposts keep getting moved. I'm not a conspiracy buff so I'll try and believe NSA and FBI didn't follow these two or let it happen for more gun control...no, I'll assume they just dropped the ball again proving they are a waste of $$$.
VanillaRhapsody
(21,115 posts)They walked to the crime scene....they were a couple of street performers and she was the needlepoint lady at Hobby Lobby. Do you think there was alot for the NSA to be working with with these two? They didn't seem to even have a car at all!
billhicks76
(5,082 posts)How inept can they be? These two weren't in a small, hidden cell off the grid. They were AT the #1 threat site inside the US...The Bundy Ranch. That would be like showing up at Waco and have people claim they didn't see you. Have you watched the VIDEO? The shooter is interviewed on live TV at Bundys and say point blank he's gonna start playin hardball and killing law enforcement. And he wasn't dressed like those photos in the media. He was in military fatigues, clean cut and looked like a marine. It isn't handed to you on a silver platter any easier than that. Who cares of he wasn't driving a car to the scene whether he owned one or not. You think he crawled to that Ranch? This is simply outrageous and should become a scandal.
plantwomyn
(876 posts)is that these two are just two of millions of babbling nuts online. Dozens of people were interviewed @ the Bundy Ranch alone. I'll bet that the people there have posted hundreds of videos over time that are WAY worse than the one you cited. The ex-sheriff in the picture was on and off the ranch throughout. Why hasn't he been arrested? The fact is that if they went after every one of the nuts that post anti-government crap online we wouldn't have enough jail cells to put them in.
There can be an argument made that the Sheriff should have made a visit to this couple the minute they left the area. They should have eyes on these people and wait till they can safely be questioned and arrested if appropriate. But to say that they NSA or the FBI should be doing that is overkill, pardon the pun.
Oh and the Bundy Ranch is hardly the #1 threat site inside the US, in fact I would be hard pressed to even put it on the top 100 list.
billhicks76
(5,082 posts)I'm not talking about online video rants. I meant a video of a LIVE TV NEWS INTERVIEW! He plainly stated he was going to start killing cops. One of dozens is a lot??? NSA spends hundreds of billions and tracks billions of people. You are really going to excuse their ineptness when they have a chance to finally stop one terrorist attack? No wiretaps, no FBI tails...announced on live TV and booted out for being too extreme. Hello? And yes Bundys Ranch was ground zero for those couple weeks concerning thus stuff. Your logic is extremely faulty I'm sorry to say.
plantwomyn
(876 posts)You obviously haven't trolled the RW videos posted all over the internet from the Bundy Ranch. It's almost impossible to cite the number of lunatics who have "plainly stated" that they intended to kill cops and any other representative of this government. The fact is that those kind of overt threats have been spewed over the airwaves for years now, in videos and in online posts and yes on LIVE TV. As much as it sucks, threatening to kill police officers doesn't make you a national security threat. If it did GITMO would be overflowing.
Your logic seems to be based on exaggerating the importance that a group of wanna be militia have in the scope of REAL threats that agencies like the NSA deal with. I don't believe the reasons given by the Bundy Bunch. It's just as likely that he was kicked out for recruiting for HIS cause rather than genuflecting to Bundy's henchmen. I don't believe HIS version of the story either. Who knows, maybe if they would have let him play in their rain deer games he would have behaved himself. There is one truth though, if their story is true, the Bundy Bunch has contact with the Sheriff and could have and SHOULD have informed him that extremist Psychos were leaving the Ranch.

(5,082 posts)NSA monitors billions of people. This was a TV news interview. You have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to connect the dots or willfully ignorant.
plantwomyn
(876 posts)In the two TV interviews I saw of him he didn't say a word about killing cops. In both interviews he does mention federal agents but not cops. In the local TV News interview he states that he doesn't want violence but if Federal Agents come at him with violence he would "speak that language". There are a ton of online videos that are WAY more overtly threatening than that.
Please provide a link to the one in which you insist that he made these statements.
billhicks76
(5,082 posts)If you threaten federal agents you are supposed to be more on NSAs radar. I don't think you understand how much time NSA spends following around average Americans involved with drugs or marijuana. Check out Ray McGovern's latest column on parallel reconstruction of evidence. He is the CIA agent who briefed the president everyday and felt compelled to alert the public that NSA spends its manpower monitoring low level drug dealers all day. What few terroristic threats that actually exist are definitely monitored.
plantwomyn
(876 posts)I don't think YOU understand that you loose all credibility by posting accusations that are fabricated. Why did you feel the need to embellish what he said in the LIVE TV NEWS interview?
Oh and your "connect the dots" crap. Haven't we had enough of using lies to justify our actions against our "enemies".
As a child of the 60s I can tell you that "parallel reconstruction of evidence" is nothing new. Same shit different day.
Also I can't help but wonder WTH all of your outrage is about if "What few terroristic threats that actually exist are definitely monitored."
billhicks76
(5,082 posts)If you think people have the same rights they had in the 60s you are crazy. The technology has surpassed everything. And we corrected things only to roll back again. The guy threatened federal agents on live TV. If they can't monitor him but can every activist or pot grower then they are useless. But keep defending

"After letting a special unit devoted to monitoring domestic terrorism fall dormant following the Al Qaeda attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced this week that it was reviving the group. The Domestic Terrorism Executive Committee will focus on extremists motivated by antigovernment and racial hatred, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement Tuesday.
Predictably, pundits from the extreme conspiracist right, particularly antigovernment Patriot groups, worked themselves into a frenzy over the announcement, warning their followers that a war on the white man was about to come down from the Obama administration. A similar reaction greeted the 2009 leak of a report from the Department of Homeland Security that focused on the domestic radical right, with right-wing groups describing it as an attack on the political conservatives."

(406 posts)Oh, cut the melodramatic theatrics. Everybody and their dog remembers the crash during final Bush's year. And it had been tumbling a couple years prior to that, but the attention was primarily on Iraq.
Holder might as well be a Republican. He had done absolutely NOTHING to reign those bastards in. ZERO. Instead, like a Republican, he's stuck his nose in petty shit thrown around a few bigoted implications while doing it.
It doesn't matter what petty crap he picks - it's that he picks petty crap to distract and incite. And that is a Republican trademark if there ever was one.

(13,485 posts)I'm an old guy and extremely left politically. I've always fought for equality and human rights from a time when it was the "in" thing to do. But there has risen a section of society, mostly younger than myself but older than the millennialists, that are deeply twisted with anti-humanist, anti-science, anti-education, anti-government ideology and sinking deeper and deeper into racism. They are the wealthiest, most religious and most politically aggressive of the population with a very narrow, self centered view of life utterly lacking in empathy.
Someone tell me.... Where the hell did they come from? They certainly haven't been drinking the same water I have. Maybe they've been eating lead paint? Sniffing mercury?
They won't yield without a fight people and they seem bent on the most base of human flaws... blood before reason.

The infamous Powell Memo (http://billmoyers.com/content/the-powell-memo-a-call-to-arms-for-corporations/) tapped into the ruling elites' anxieties about this progress and I believe it helped to galvanize a conservative reaction that resulted in the presidency of Ronald Reagan and the rightward re-shaping of American society that continues to this day.
