Feds: Utah Militia Leader Tried to Bomb BLM

Feds: Utah Militia Leader Tried to Bomb BLM

"SNIP............

According to federal prosecutors, a Utah militia leader attempted to detonate a bomb at a Bureau of Land Management facility in Arizona. William Keebler, 57, of Stockton, Utah, was arrested after having allegedly placed a pipe bomb against a BLM cabin he reportedly scouted with the late Oregon militia occupier Robert LaVoy Finicum. He was caught because the person he assigned to build the remote-detonated bomb was an undercover FBI agent. Keebler was charged Thursday in U.S. District Court with attempting to blow up federal property.

1. If it was a Muslim trying to blow up a bank we'd be hearing all about it.

But it's a domestic terrorist wanting to blow up a government building, so won't hear a peep out of the M$M.

The BEST campgrounds on the Elliot, Steese and Richardson Highways are BLM campgrounds, and they are gorgeous. Not fancy, we tent camp, but maintained, clean, and in areas chosen not to interfere with the views. They also have cabins you can hike or, in winter, dogsled or snow machine to, and they're free - bring your own wood for the woodstoves!

I am going to HAVE to learn how to post photos...............

BLM is also the top firefighting outfit in the state, and when you easily can have 3/4 million (yep, million) acres burning, that counts for a bunch. They smokejumpers are renowned.
