Anybody seen a Jade Helm thread around here anywhere?While taking up occupancy of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, protestors reportedly gained access to sensitive information stored on the computers there, revealing sinister plans by the BLM to confiscate privately owned land before auctioning it off corporate interests, according a source who requested anonymity.
In an effort to suppress this information, the FBI is believed to be conducting a nationwide warrant roundup of protestors and independent journalists involved in the recent protests and standoffs against the federal government. A total of 86 people, including Bundy, are believed to be on the FBI’s roundup list and could subsequently be arrested for their “crimes.”

"We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book
At first that is what I was thinking. Though in researching the timeframes, the prosecutor filed a timely appeal against the trail court and won that appeal, the issue the Hammonds had already served out their original sentence before the appellate made its finding. Further, the Hammonds as part of their plea bargain, forfeited their appeal rights. So it appears as if double-jeopardy, but it isn't.
The real underlying issues are however, (1) the misapplication of an anti-terrorism act and (2) the unconstitutionality of minimum sentencing statutes. And upon those grounds they should be able to appeal, I would think, because it does not pertain to their sentencing in itself, but the mechanics of justice itself.

"Please Mister police man..."
That's how I read the majority of your responses to this matter.
I might not be in Oregon but I certainly am not slurping, stuttering, over what is what it is.
I think it was a few pages before thirty where I lost quite a bit of respect for you. If not all.
You're saying we can't have Liberty B until Liberty A is first restored to YOUR PERSONAL satisfaction. That is fascist-level bull$#@!.
Ender scores a point by your own admission. There are plenty of ways to rollback the police state and the infringements of labor mobility that have jack $#@! to do with the welfare state. For example,
a) the indentured servitude nature of many - not all - H1Bs (more so the useless ones that really are peaked with their current employer)
b) increasing the focus on deporting the violent/convicted, less focus on the productive
c) fewer TSA-style travel restrictions or unconstitutional searches as we travel
We could likely come up with dozens of items that don't impact the welfare state but aid freedom of movement (whether for labor or recreation).
Again, Ender 1 ... You 0.

I'd be roasting with quotes if it weren't such a PITA to navigate hundreds of pages throughout the various threads.
My memory isn't that bad, though.
You would also be included in who I was referring to as the punchline. It's a shame I quoted Dr.3D and not your apologist bull$#@!.

We have no more thought of using our own powers to escape the arm of authorities than had the Apostles of old. No more are we ready to keep silent at man's behest when God commands us to speak. For it is, and must remain, the case that we must obey God rather than man.

People really need to NOT get drunk while in forum. Can we put that in the guidelines? LOL, JUST KIDDING!!
yes i did. Seems you do your fair share of trash talking as well.
btw...i never DIRECTLY called anyone a coward in here, except KC CHIEF in a neg rep comment.
There was also many people calling out militia online, in comments on Facebook, and 'other' forums...
When this incident in Oregon first started, it became apparent that 'certain' militia groups would not participate for reasons Gunny recited, is when i became frustrated and angry. Still am, but as they say, life goes on, except for Finicum...
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/02/how-...ive-streaming/How the FBI’s wait-and-see strategy in Oregon standoff met live-streaming
lmost every aspect of the six-week standoff at the Malheur wildlife refuge was the result of decades of trial and error.
The surrender of the last anti-government holdouts at the Malheur national wildlife refuge in Oregon vindicated the FBI’s patient, wait-and-see attitude, although a live YouTube broadcast of the events introduced a major unknown into the proceedings.
The broadcast carried considerable risks as well as potential benefits. FBI veterans said it could, if handled wrong, have induced the holdouts to grandstand and stick more doggedly to their positions, or else provided a platform to induce others to join their cause.
“This is art, not a science. Everything you do is a risk. Everything you do can go the wrong way,” said Danny Coulson, the retired founding commander of the FBI’s hostage rescue team. “But if I’d been the commander there, I would have had the same idea. Exercise patience and let them talk it out. When you are talking, you are not shooting.”
Almost every aspect of the six-week standoff – laying low, using a road block to arrest eight of the militants last month, and using an outside intermediary to coax the last four occupiers to leave the refuge – was the result of decades of trial and error, including some spectacular failures the FBI is anxious not to repeat.
Gary Noesner, a retired FBI hostage negotiator, said he was consulted three times during the Oregon standoff. The first two times he offered the same broad advice that was eventually followed: hang back, be patient, and let local law enforcement take the lead to undermine the argument that the feds were out to get the occupiers.
The third time, however, Noesner was more critical, questioning whether it was a good idea to let the occupiers come and go as they pleased and restock. Shortly afterwards, the FBI and Oregon police set up the roadblock that led to the arrest of eight people including the occupation ringleader, Ammon Bundy, and the fatal shooting of militiaman LaVoy Finicum.
“I thought they [the protesters] might be getting a little too comfortable in there,” Noesner told the Guardian. “I didn’t think they should let them come and go. You can’t really expect to resolve a situation if you give people complete freedom of movement.”
The roadblock was another classic FBI technique. Experience has taught the agency that the safest way to make an arrest is if you can people away from their supporters and pick a spot away from the public that has been vetted in advance. “We call it the mobile option, and it’s almost always successful.”
Finicum’s death was an outcome nobody was looking for; the police say they shot him because he was not following instructions and posed an immediate threat. But Noesner said it probably hastened the end of the standoff.
“When that guy got killed it scared the hell out of these people,” he said. “It’s one thing to say you’re willing die for the cause and quite another to do it.”
The final negotiation involved another time-tested technique: the introduction of an outsider that the militants trust, in this case Nevada assemblywoman Michele Fiore , to act as a go-between. Neither Noesner nor Coulson had any knowledge of how she was recruited, but they said it was standard operating procedure for the FBI to vet someone like that and then have a behavioral psychologist offer extensive preparation, including scripted lines that would be rehearsed several times before going live.
Fiore could indeed be heard on the live feed saying the same things over and over: how she needed the protesters to stay alive, how if they were getting heated it might be time to take a break for a prayer, how the courts and the prison system were realities you could live through and survive.
“The key here is to encourage them to contrast the benefits of cooperation with the risks of resistance, Noesner said. We always leave them with that equation. On the one hand you can hold out and fight to the death; on the other hand you can start to be more reasonable and pin your hopes on getting something out of the publicity surrounding your arrest and trial.
“One way or another, this is not your little kingdom, where you’re going to live happily ever after. You need a dose of reality – you’re not going to be able to stay in there forever.”
