The standoff in Oregon between local rights advocates and the federal government regarding the ranchers who are being sent to prison over fires they set in 2006 to clear their land of brush and weeds is increasing in intensity.
Outside groups have made their way to the Malheur Wildlife Reserve and taken over the building (which was unoccupied). The government has responded by sending SOD-X Reserve/National Guard Special Operations troops, with the very clear potential for armed conflict.
This is once again a strong arm effort by the government to show that they own much of the land in Oregon (close to 50 of the entire land mass), and that locals such as ranchers must cow-tow to the government in Washington D.C.
There are serious issues here, and many Constitutional scholars indicate that the Federal government cannot, in fact, own land except for a section in the District of Columbia, plus some ports and seaways. But that may be a moot point when you have the U.S. military going against a rag-tag band of ranchers.

The white man getting treated like Indians now, & by the same government.
How about a picture, of him arming isis, and standing with them.
Per OBAMA’S request!
Calling all American guns owners to go support and surround FBI and national guard and demand they ( state and gov officials) stand down
For all you veterans, do you think America is unfair to its citizens?
So, James are you saying there were no national guard troops on Furguson. Either you’re a liar or grossly misinformed! Fact checking is your friend.
How do you think us natives/indigenous peoples of this land feel now. Americans getting treated like 2nd class citizens these days. Just like how us natives were treated in the 1940’s & 50’s.
How can they be tried 2 for the crime I say crime but they really did nothing wrong I burn my pastors off every year my wife dosent like but I do it. I stand with the ranchers and the militia
First off the land belongs to the natives, secondly federal land is public land and having it opened up for mining ranching etc is not always the best long term plan. This is the show of force for political or economical gain against all of us public. They have received huge tax breaks and now when they are required to pay like every other cattle rancher they throw a fit.
I’m just wondering if this guy gets half-off at Lens Crafers?
He will use NATO troops.
