The Oklahoma Militia, which stands at about 50,000 strong, has some very straight-forward words for the Bureau of Land Management and the Feds:
“It’s up to the Feds, the ball is in their court. You can do this legally, or if you want to try to do a land grab violently you can do that. We are going to resist you,” says Scott Shaw of the Oklahoma Militia.
“Just look around the country. They are doing it everywhere. The only thing to stop them is ‘We The People'”, he added.
The recent Cliven Bundy situation, which brought many militia from all over the country to Nevada in a stand-off with the BLM, could very well be the looked back historically as the beginning of the 2nd American Revolution.
OKLAHOMA CITY – A land dispute in Nevada between rancher Cliven Bundy and the federal government began decades ago.
The Bureau of Land Management says Bundy was allowing his cattle to graze illegally, which triggered a round-up of about 400 head of cattle last week.
Bundy claims his family’s cattle have grazed on the land since 1870 without interference from the government.
However, the Bureau of Land Management says Bundy hadn’t paid his grazing fees since 1993.
Over time, officials say those fees have amounted to more than $1 million.
As authorities herded the cattle, a standoff was sparked with members of the militia.
Organizers with the Oklahoma Militia say they have members in Nevada who claim Bundy’s cattle were unlawfully herded by the bureau.
The Oklahoma Militia says it is made up of nearly 50,000 volunteers.
Members say they are taking Bundy’s side and fear this practice could spread to the Sooner State.
Scott Shaw said, “Evidently in America we don’t actually own the property anymore, if you ever did.”
Shaw says Oklahoma Militia members are ready to take up arms against the federal government if needed.
He said, “It’s up to the feds, the balls in their court! You can do this legally or if you want to try to do a land grab violently, you can do that. We’re going to resist you!”
Shaw says the militia has not had to defend Oklahoma from the government yet but members are becoming concerned.
Shaw said, “Just look around the country, they are doing it everywhere. If they can do it in Nevada, they can do it in Colorado, Texas. I mean, what’s to stop them from coming to Oklahoma? The only thing to stop them is ‘We the People.”
However, not everyone agrees.
Sen. Jim Inhofe said, “You’ve got a bunch of people there trying to take the law into their own hands and they shouldn’t be doing that. And the Bureau of Land Management is not government-owned, it’s publicly owned. There’s a big difference there. I blame both sides.”
The Bureau of Land Management released the cattle after confiscating them.
Civil war,is coming AMERICA wake up and vote..2014 2016
Thomas McDonald, Nobody owns land in America Even if you have paid in full and the deed in your hand, Guess what? You still have to pay TAXES on it till you die. So the Fed land grab will continue.
Shot for the head
The Militia needs to put up Candidates for Office in each Fed office…and consolidate it….. otherwise it will only amount to a “passive” resistance….Take Charge Men!
I still do not understand why we should accept that the government is above the laws of this land and the constitution. Is not the government made up of people? Are they not voted in office to represent the people? How does that make them separate from us? Today our government has to much control. It has grown to be something other than what our forefathers started. It refuses to pay the nations debt while spending money like there is no tomorrow. Taking away the future of our children. There only goal seems to be getting elected. Then after that getting reelected. If there is no voter fraud going on as they would have you believe, then must mean that we are all idiots because we keep voting them into office. WAKE UP PEOPLE we put them in office. Get them out!!! If they do not believe in the laws of the land and constitution then get rid of them.
No feds went after those occupy Wall Street bums and it’s illegal to spend the NIGHT there
It’s about time someone stands up to those Fed’s people!. And show them true grit.!.
All States should follow this example and Succeed from the Washington D C scumbag crooks! Its time too take back America Folks !!
