"The Lord® came to me and said 'Larry (not my name but when the Lord® speaks to you, well, you listen) I want you to organize the people to donate their snacks to our Patriots® in Oregon®. My father, God® who is also me believes that you can do this. I've asked the Holy® Spirit®, who is also me to help out with supplies and socks. I'm not sure about the socks, I might ask one of the saints to do that. Maybe Saint Theresa, she's new. Anyway, I am God® and all that. Bring them snacks.' I'll be damned if I don't heed his call. No matter how self-serving and somewhat rambling it was. #?SnacksforYallQaeda"

(182,879 posts)Jenny Morrell What exactly do those pictures prove? Nothing other than the story that Blaine punched 3 peaceful men. Sorry but when your history consists of 16 convictions that are all assault and violence related it is hard to convince others that he was not the one who instigated the situation! I don't understand what part of no one wants him and his group there, does he not understand and now others are coming in to get them out! Give it up dude! You 5 min of fame are over and you made yourself look like a complete moron

(269,157 posts)The concept is promoted by so-called sovereign citizen groups and is based on shadow governments set up by the Continental Congress in the months before American Revolution, said J.J. McNab, an expert on right-wing extremist groups.
The Continental Congress in 1774 sent a list of demands, called the Declaration of Rights and Grievances, to King George III and the Bundy family and their backers sent a notice (for) redress of grievances Dec. 11 to several Oregon and Harney County officials challenging their authority in the Hammond case.
We do not believe there is any threat to this community from this group, said Tim Smith, a committee member and president of the county GOP.
Armed men seize a Federal Government Building because they disagree with a Federal Court ruling and the President of the county's GOP does not believe there is any threat to the community from this group.
Can we have some comments from the RNC - where Priebus on this?

(4,458 posts)I just found this article this morning...still searching for any response from officials and community......
I know I am disgusted and fearful this won't end well.
A small group of people have convened....indicted.....and have publicly threatened to carry this out Is Outrageous.
I'm probably wrong..I seriously believe it's time to de-escalate the situation. This is no longer amusing.
