taken charge. The language he uses "treason," "chain of command," etc. suggests some sort of military training. His mastery of the English language is significantly better than that of the others who speak. He appears to be a fascist, militaristic personality -- or at least imitating one very well. He could be leading the entire group into using language and taking actions that might put them all in jail for a long time.

I'm just guessing, but I would not expect a provocateur to be the soft-spoken guy who isn't sure how far he wants to take things.

These guys are a bunch of fools.

The leader is so authoritarian and playing so cleverly on the paranoia of the fools who are following him. It is very sad.

The leader speaks as if he has set up some sort of alternative, authoritarian government out there in the desert, something where he is the dictator and everybody who doesn't agree with him is to be silenced.

I contrast this with what we saw in the Occupy movement. With very few exceptions, the people in the Occupy movement welcomed strangers, sought to listen to viewpoints different from their own, even conflicting with their own and imposed only the most basic rules about who could come and go. Occupy was at its core non-violent although inevitably it attracted some violent types. The violence in Occupy was unrelated to the purpose of the movement.

I find this video to be very disturbing. We are "one nation" not a lot of little punks with guns hoping to shoot it out with the police.

These people could be very dangerous to our country.

What amazed me is that they apparently have internet access out there. One guy talked about his Facebook posts. What in the world?
