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.
Whatz ironic about this concept of so called society is becoming more like com

I’m glad to see people finally standing up to the a-holes in government. we need to clean house and start from scratch. Oh and keep big business out of it. It is “we the people” not we the big bssiness.
At Drew S. maybe it’s time to evaluate who you work for and what’s right. You say it’s about grazing fees. What did the BLM do with all the grazing fees paid by the ranchers that the BLM has put out of business. They didn’t maintain the roads, land, etc. they used those fees to roust the ranchers. The only holdout between Harry Reid, communist China and wind farms is Bundy. Take a look around you. Cattle population is at an all time low. Think 1950’s cattle supply to feed 2014’s population. Lets see how high the government can drive the price of beef.
That terrorist-in-chief and his gang of criminals and mental deficiency /traitors are in the midst of the biggest “land grab” in history , which is where we will be if they are allowed to succeed !!! History !!!
……. 😉 its starting
PLEASE GO HELP RANCHER BUNDY!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!
There are NO good politicians. Politician isn’t a job. ANARCHY OR DIE!
