FBI investigating Bundy supporters. Cops say women and children were put in front

Listen to what the officer says. They weren't just talking about putting the women in the front they DID put the women in the front along with CHILDREN! Putting children in danger like that??? Absolutely stunning cowardice and the lowest level of ethics on the planet.

WW2 helped end the great depression

It's interesting that this Prepper / gun enthusiast has such a good grasp on so many issues. Guys like this can really help the anti-gov folks see what is really going on.

I really like his response to this Ron Paul supporter in the comment section:

There's a difference between austerity and living within our means.

Indeed. Austerity is an euphemism for cutting out the parts of government that don't benefit people with lobbyists and money to bribe politicians with. Did you ever ask yourself why the government had to rob military pensions but would not even consider for one second raising taxes on the wealthiest people by .001%?

Bundy Ranch situation

This guy does a wonderful job on this video. He covers all kinds of issues in a level headed way and goes into a lot of detail about costs for the BLM to manage land and how cheep grazing fees are under Federal ownership as opposed to private or even state ownership.

It's long but well worth the watch. Don't know if I would agree with him on other issues, but on this he is right on the money.

Hot Gossip: Cliven Bundy’s Militia Buddies Have Broken Up, Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

This is a really entertaining read!


From Wonkette

by Doktor Zoom


Let's say this is "Booda Bear"We have what appears to be an Important Update on the Bundy Ranch Seige that is no longer a Seige, although the good people of nearby Bunkerville, Nevada sure are tired of all these militia yahoos hanging around their town. And according to a piece at Daily Kos, even the militia folks are getting tired of each other.

Unfortunately, the information is rather sketchy, so please, apply grains of salt as needed. It also doesn’t help a heck of a lot that one of the gentlemen in this little internecine beef goes by the pseudonym “Booda Bear,” which is maybe a little ridiculous since that name is shared with a pet chew toy. (Says the blogger with a pseudonym derived from a Silver Age comical book.) At least we hope it’s a pseudonym. So, here is what’s shaking down at the Bundy Ranch in the Great Cowpocalypse Aftermath, maybe:

First off, Stewart Rhodes, the head of one militia contingent, the Oath Keepers, said on Friday that he’d gotten “intel” from a highly placed source that Eric Holder and the Department of Justice were going to launch a “hot drone strike” on the Bundy Ranch, because that makes perfect sense. And while Rhodes suspected that the leak may have been deliberate disinformation designed to make the militia heroes look delusional, or more delusional, he also decided, as a precaution, to “evacuate all of his Oath Keepers that have been stationed” at the Bundy Ranch, for, like, security and stuff. This decision did not sit well with “Booda Bear,” the “head of security” for the Bundy Ranch. (Who made him “head of security”? We have no earthly idea; we get the impression it may be a self-appointed position, but who knows?)
