BUSTED: Guess What The Bundy Militia Was Doing While They Were Not In Gunfights With The FBI

60. Doing the work of posse comitatus

"Posse comitatus is the common-law or statute law authority of a county sheriff, or other law officer, to conscript any able-bodied man to assist him in keeping the peace or to pursue and arrest a felon, similar to the concept of the "hue and cry.""

This is very serious and should not be taken lightly. It is already reported that weeks leading up to the occupations members of the community were followed and harassed in their daily lives by the outside agitators brought in by Ammon Bundy.

It was reported that press witnessed exposed social security numbers and ID badges revealing home addresses of Malheur Wildlife Refuge employees. This now makes those employees vulnerable to vigilante justice when these individuals did not create the policies that potentially impact ranching on public lands within the area.

Oddy the real complaint is the administration of BLM policies pertaining Bundy along with alleged prosecutorial misconduct on behalf of the Harney County Court and that is where the occupation should have occurred.

The Posse also was one of the first modern radical groups to take up issues of land use — the same kind of issues exploited by Bundy and the armed militias that supported him in Nevada this spring. It disrupted environmental regulatory hearings, fought farm unionization, and intervened in land disputes.

Harney County Committee of Safety For the people, by the people

This committee was formed by the belief of the supremacy of the county and the county sheriff as being the highest authority and arbitrator.

COUNTY SUPREMACY

This is the belief that the county sheriff is the highest law enforcement authority and that the American people, through the federal government, have no right to public lands. Rep. Ken Ivory, the public face of the land seizure movement, subscribes to this ideology as seen in his endorsement of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association.

LAND SEIZURE MOVEMENT

Proponents of land seizures use quasi-legal arguments to underpin their belief that the federal government promised to give American public lands to the states when they entered the Union, and therefore believe that the federal government (and the American people) have no right to public lands.

This remains a continuation of the Sagebrush Rebellion and the rebuking of the Taylor Grazing Act of 1934 that addressed the over grazing of public lands many years ago.

The Taylor Grazing Act of 1934[1] (Pub.L. 73–482) is a United States federal law that provides for the regulation of grazing on the public lands (excluding Alaska) to improve rangeland conditions and regulate their use.

This is the worst place to attempt a retaking of public lands because of the importance of healing and preserving this landscape.

There's a problem with Invasive Carp at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon

Wildlife in the area includes as many as 320 species of birds and 58 species of mammals in desert, grassland, marsh and rimrock habitats. Malheur serves as a Pacific Flyway stop for the northern pintail and tundra swan, lesser and greater sandhill crane, snow goose and Ross’ goose. Ducks, grebes, pelicans and trumpeter swans are drawn to the numerous ponds, marshes and lakes. Deer, antelopes, ducks, pheasants, thrashers and quails can be found in the upland areas in sagebrush, greasewood and wild rye.[8][9]

Refuge officials have been actively managing an overabundance of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in the refuge since at least the 1970s. The invasive fish species was likely introduced to the refuge's waterways prior to the 1920s as a food source, and has been recognized as an ecological threat to the region since the 1950s. Carp are aggressive feeders that have reduced food availability and diminished habitat quality for the migratory bird species that utilize the refuge's marshes and lakes as part of the Pacific flyway. In 2014, a $35,000 contract to capture and remove carp was awarded to a fishing crew that specializes in the removal of invasive fish species.[10]

Occupied Oregon wildlife refuge known for listening to ranchers

Grievances of outside protesters don’t seem to fit Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, where local Oregon ranchers and federal managers spent years working out their differences and arriving at a collaborative “adaptive management” plan.
