Harney Co. Committee Of Safety Asks Occupiers To Leave in "a peaceful, honorable fashion"

.......[center]

The Chair of Harney County for the Oregon Republican Party is one Tim Smith, vocal supporter of the Hammonds.


And a certain Tim Smith is a member of the Harney County Committee of Safety (HCCS).


Which has a web site and the domain is owned/registered to Ammon Bundy at an address in Phoenix, AZ.

Quoting from Ammon Bundy's Harney Co. CS webpage:

The primary duty and responsibility of the Committee of Safety is to coordinate the people in their own safety. This is done through correspondence, preparedness and defense. ....

(You have to wonder if this part will be in the Republican platform this year.)

Prior to the Revolutionary War, Committees of Safety existed in the frontier or wilderness areas where the government did not provide any troops or other protection against Indian attacks. The community got together and built stockades, enrolled militia, commissioned officers, and set watches, all to secure the property and lives of the association members from threats from the savages.

It is the function of the Committee of Safety to call up able-body men and women to stand in defense of unalienable rights. The Committee of Safety is the governing body for the Militia and directs the Militia in its defensive actions.

So, here’s your pre-schism hierarchy I presume, given what’s posted online at Ammon Bundy’s Harney County website:
Oregon Republican Party > County Chair > Committee of Safety > Militia

We downloaded the website and screen captured the graphics before we posted this online with other media the other day. ................
