Princeton, OR — On Saturday, multiple armed ‘militiamen’ took over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge HQ to protest the sentence handed down to two Oregon ranchers accused of arson. The ranchers accused of arson are Dwight Lincoln Hammond, Jr., 73, and his son, Steven Dwight Hammond, 46, both residents of Diamond, Oregon. They were each sentenced to five years in prison by Chief U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken for alleged arsons they committed on federal lands. According to the Washington Standard, the problem is multifaceted. First, both men were sentenced in 2012 by now-retired U.S. District Judge Michael Hogan, following the trial. Steven received one year and a day in prison for setting fires in 2001 and 2006. Dwight got 3 months for his 2001 involvement. Hogan did not believe the men had malicious intent to be labeled as terrorists under theAntiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, even though he sentenced them to jail for the time he did. The men agreed to a plea deal that they would not appeal the 2012 sentence in order to bring the case to a close. Both men served their sentences and were released. Now, the feds have appealed those sentences and want the mandatory minimum five-year sentence imposed on the men, and so they appealed to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, who agreed with the feds that the judge ruled illegally. However, now they are wanting to label the Hammonds as terrorists under the 1996 law in order to put them back in jail. Aside from being thrown in jail for a second time, the Hammonds are upset because they allege no crime was ever committed. “They called and got permission to light the fire… We usually called the interagency fire outfit – a main dispatch – to be sure someone wasn’t in the way or that weather wouldn’t be a problem,” said Dwight’s wife Susan. In a post to their blog, the Bundy family explained that the Hammonds were merely engaging in prescribed burns to keep the land healthy and productive. And, they assert that the Bureau of Land Management also conducts these burns. The Hammonds lit a fire on their own property that spread to public land. No one was injured, no property was destroyed and the Hammond extinguished the fire themselves, according to the Bundys. The court even ruled that the fires actually had a positive impact on the land. “With no authority or justification to prosecute, eleven years after the fire, federal attorneys have obtained judgment that the Hammonds are terrorists and must be punished severely for their actions,” explains the Bundy Family. On November 3rd, the Bundys issued a warning, which stated, We further warn that the incarceration of the Hammond family will spawn serious civil unrest. We advocate that all charges be dropped and that the Hammond family be allowed to return to the home and life that was so rudely interrupted. The Hammond family has paid enough for this mistake, if any mistake at all. Further punishments to the Hammonds will require restitution upon those who inflict the injustices. We call upon aware citizens and government officials to promote the protection and freedom of the Hammond family, and by so doing, maintaining the spirit of liberty that this beloved nation is built upon. Two months after this warning, the Bundys held true to what they wrote when they, and several other armed citizens, took over the refuge HQ. The Bundys and the Hammonds allege that what the federal government is doing, by using the BLM to dictate the use of open lands, is a violation of the constitution. They now claim to have taken defensive action, after they allege criminal action on behalf of the federal government. While the Bundys and the Hammonds actions are certainly questionable, they haven’t harmed anyone or any property. Regardless of your position on the action of the ‘militiamen,’ one thing is certain – every one of them deserves due process. Over the past 2 years, a peaceful resistance to police brutality and misconduct has risen up in the United States. This resistance is entirely bipartisan, although some will attempt to claim otherwise for their own political agendas. On both the right and the left, there have been heartening examples of unlikely groups of citizens coming together to peacefully resist the police state. However, there are also those on both sides who dangerously call for violence, the removal of due process, and the use of state force to implement their own version of tyranny. In the past few months, examples of the neoconservatives’ calls for fascism have shocked those who are paying attention to the rise of tyranny in the U.S. Donald Trump epitomized this fascism when he called for banning all Muslims entering the US and shutting down the internet last month. The resultant bandwagon of hate and ignorance has led to a slew of internet comments calling for turning the entire Middle East region into a “parking lot.” However, this time, instead of the far right calling for insanely violent police state measures, it’s the far left. It appears that some of those on the left have thrown all logic and reason to the wayside and have begun calling, not only for the removal of due process for their fellow Americans, but also for their full-on slaughter. On various Facebook posts about the militiamen, multiple antagonists claiming to ‘support Bernie Sanders’ and declaring their ‘peaceful Democratic stances’ have called for the murder of those men, women, and children at the Oregon refuge. Bernie Sanders would certainly not agree that it is okay to drone strike American citizens without due process. Those who call for violence against others, who have not harmed anyone, are the epitome of all that is wrong in the world today. Regardless of your political views, or positions on issues, denying due process, even to the vilest of criminals, is the work of tyrants. The irony here is that the folks on the left want to use the same violence, which they ostensibly oppose when not used in a manner they see fit, on people who they disagree with. Below are some of the shocking comments from supposed ‘peaceful’ people who are calling for the slaughter of others. But the comments don’t stop with random folks on the internet. Even celebrity Montel Williams joined in on the calls for violence when he encouraged the government to “disembowel these treasonous terroristic thugs,” late Saturday night in a post to Facebook. The irony of people who call for a less violent government, asking for the government to enact violence because it suits their political views, is horrific. If you call for the slaughter of a group of people who’ve not harmed anyone, you are no better than ISIS. It seems that both sides of this two-party facade of democracy have been so blinded by state-sponsored hate and entitlement for their cause, that they have lost all reason and compassion for their fellow human. The anti-Muslim Right, Islamic terrorists, and now the pro-state-violence Left — would all do well to study the intention behind Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous quote:

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. I have to wonder how many of them are on the Fedpayroll, assigned to the executive branch, and are busy at a bank of computers in the basement of the White House. Can I prove that? No. But no one should think that it is not possible. Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists.
The names blurred out, Reince Priebus, Carl Rove, and Marco Rubio?
There's no shortage of Lefties who think exactly like that and flood the web with these ravings. Pretty rich that the SJWs apparently love the idea of slaughtering these dissident Mormons and militia types.

Before the shooting starts, there is something all must understand. The g0vernment of the United States of America can best be visualized as a 200 foot python. Way back at the tail are the rank and file employees, ranging from the lowest pay grade thru maybe G-9's. Up around the gut of the snake is the upper management, the G10s and on up. The head of this 200 foot crushing python is the Congress, The Courts, and the Administration. Attacking or even fighting the tail is of absolutely no use, for the head will simply grow a new tail, attacking the gut will harm but not kill the snake, the only way to kill the snake is to cut off the head. Congressmen, nor senators, nor anyone in the administration is going to give a hoot if a BLM sgt is killed, or BLM Capt, or maybe a general, but harm a hair on one of their heads and their attention is gotten. Eli, Eli, nai erchomai Kurios Iesous.
You must be smoking the ganja hard today. No. I meant that your suggestion that these comments come from operatives in the WH basement is pretty farfetched when so many hateful Lefties will obviously do the job for free. If the supposed basement WH Lefties are up to anything today, it will be promoting Obola's gungrab EOs which will be the WH theme of the week.
Bob, I will pray that this situation is resolved without blood shed! But it is noteworthy that the Feds DO NOT like it if ANYONE defies their edicts. Just like school yard bullies, they get used to being able to overpower anyone, and demand everyone to bow down to them. It is time for the Fed govt to return all land to the states ( other than military bases, court houses, etc ) and for the Fed govt to quit acting like they are GOD, and demanding states & all citizens to cower at their presence or their orders.. Will this happen without blood shed, unfortunately, I doubt it. Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists.
No. I don't smoke. You are wrong again! Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists.
The left is rooted in offical govenrment violence against individuals. Always has been,always will be.
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
If these were gay - minorities ... we would be paying their salaries - baking them cakes --- giving them our children ! Bill Clinton said that Hillary's first job was to go down south ... to put all the tax exempt segregated schools --- out of business ! Where is the separation of church - state anymore ! Where is the separation of ... national govt interests vs --- state located issues anymore ! None ! If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
Me too. And I think much of the country, with the exception of the obamite buffons in the national press, seem to know so also. One look at the market and you see stocks falling and metals and oil going up. I've said this before and I'll say it again: While I am neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, I, as a student of Scripture, do believe that before the fall of 2016, Christ will either rapture His church or we, in the USA, will have civil war. Furthermore: Further more, prison is to good for hillary clinton. Well, let me start by saying, that while I am neither a prophet or the son of a prophet, I have no doubts that Hillary Rodham Clinton will be dead within one year. How she will die, I am not sure, but this I know, before November 8, 2016, she will be dead and joey biden will be put in her place. I do not see her death as being by natural causes, although it may look like natural causes. She will be dead because Barak Hussien Obama can not allow her to be deposed by Judicial Watch. Obama cannot take the chance that Cliinton(s) will turn on him. Understand this, Obama has no fear of anything of consequences coming out from the interviews by Trey Gowdy's Congressional committees, for Gowdy and his committee, like Pauyl Ryan, and most of the house, are all subservient to him. Judicial Watch is another story, a long suffering and honest, God fearing Republic loving group of honest lawyers and patriots, who want to see the truth come out and the Republic restored. Happy 2016. Eli, Eli, nai erchomai Kurios Iesous.
Apparently the author is part of the problem.
