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.

Bunch of armchair lawyers who don’t bother to look up the facts of a case before spewing out their opinion as facts making yourself look like liberal morons. You know nothing about anything that’s going on up there. BLM can not own land. Federal government can not own land outside D.C. Article 1 section 8 paragraph 17. Learn something other than the button combos in a game, stupid trendies
So, all of you are vegetarians? You want the government to shut down cattle ranchers who produce beef? This isn’t the first ranch. Keep supporting the government who wants to make a deal with China to supply all our food. One day, they will stop giving us food and nobody here will know how to produce. You are digging your own graves
You complain about tax breaks to the people who supply the meat for your Taco Bell, Big Mac and other meat when you are too ignorant and lazy to raise your own beef
How stupid can you be? Of all the things to complain about, you want to$#%&!@*about the people that put food on your table because you lack the skills to provide for yourself. Ignorant fools!
I hope you are ready to eat bugs
well the Feds have to get in there in a hurry to save the bird seed!
The government has been after these people’s land for a long time… they even flooded valleys by diverting a river and forced all their neighbors to leave, after failing to buy the land from them. The government confiscated their cattle… it has been downright HARRASSMENT to obtain their land… now there is a rumor that there is some type of mineral deposit on this land….I’ve heard gold, I’ve heard uranium??? only rumors though…) But if you want to READ THE WHOLE STORY, this is excellent …… http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/01/03/full-story-on-whats-going-on-in-oregon-militia-take-over-malheur-national-wildlife-refuge-in-protest-to-hammond-family-persecution/

He signed into law that they can detain you without cause indefinitely. By force if necessary. It’s a Damn shame my brothers in arms are kissing on the oath they took for the citizens. For every soldier who follows an unlawful order deserves death along with this treasonous gov
Another group sticking their nose in where it doesn’t belong? Did the Oregon ranchers invite them?
