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.

Stewart Rhodes needs to step down, he is a coward, pretending to stand for freedom. Its called controlled opposition.
You are not “local” and you should go home. Quit trying to drum up drama. No one is messing with your silly selves.
Okay with me. Just don’t start bitching when Rev. Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton show up at a black protest.
Well, then governor needs to go in there and take up for the men!

Dear god people,this is a f**e site. Its a joke, intelligent people call it satire. What a bunch of suckers
No..it’s not the same thing. One was/is a violent race baitting show of force. The other is a non violent show of force trying to protect the ranchers who are being raped by the goverment. Totally different agendas.
