While I was boots on the ground in Burns, OR. I had a chance to sit down and speak with LaVoy Finicum, one of the leaders of the Citizens for Constitutional Freedom (www.C4CF.com) about what led him to leave his ranch in Arizona to be a part of the Hammond family support march and then partake in the occupation of the Malheur Refuge Center in Harney County Oregon.

In this interview we discuss the background of the Hammond family court case and the issues that surround what led to the conviction of the Hammond family and the questions that surround it. We then discuss the actual occupation of the Refuge Center and the planning that led up to that occupation and why there is the exercising of 1st Amendment rights along with the 2nd Amendment rights and other related topics. Please share this interview out with everyone you know in the Patriot Community.

Malheur SITREP: 2200L 23 JAN 2016


by Sam Culper * January 24 2016

This is a Situation Report from sources on the ground in the vicinity of (IVO) Burns, Oregon, as well as from open source reporting. This SITREP includes information from a SALUTE report generated yesterday* and is augmented with more recent information.

- An estimated 200 federal vehicles are in the town of Burns, Oregon, located at the FBI compound at the Burns Municipal Airport, hotels, and on the roads.

- Including approximately 50 vehicles at the Harney County Sheriff's Office, we concur with yesterday's SALUTE report that 400 or more local, state, and federal personnel are on the ground IVO the town of Burns.

- Last week, the FBI compound at the Burns Municipal Airport consisted of one modular tent, a directional microwave antenna, a "cell on wheels" antenna, and a satellite dish mounted on a communications vehicle.

- In the past several days, the FBI presence has significantly increased to three modular tents, six equipment trailers, and one to two dozen mobile light towers, in addition to dozens of additional personnel. Sources on the ground say the increase consists mostly of tactical teams, as opposed to support teams.

- Multiple sources also report that the FBI and other law enforcement demeanor has changed to "almost hostile" towards the Pacific Patriots Network.


ANALYST COMMENT:

Analysts concur that the ramp up of federal personnel and equipment is sufficient to put a cordon in place around the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, and possibly set up checkpoints IVO Burns, OR.

Although the FBI now has the capability to cordon and raid the Refuge, we do not expect the FBI to choose violence as a first resort. From the beginning, the FBI has gone on the record and maintained that they want a peaceful resolution. I still believe this to be the case.

Open source media reports the presence of children at the Refuge. Significant backlash would follow an attempt to clear the compound without first exhausting all negotiations to remove the children from the area. If children perish during another government onslaught like Waco or Ruby Ridge, a large number of Americans have gone on the record to say that there will be the proverbial hell to pay. I believe this to be the case, too.

A best case scenario is one that ends with Ammon Bundy and the Occupiers having gotten their point across to the American People without blood being shed by either party.
