Since Bundy’s arrest, we have heard from the media and even from Ammon Bundy’s lawyer, that Ammon has urged everyone at the refuge to return home. The recorded statement below, which was most likely recorded by Carol Bundy, isn’t as long as the letter from Ammon immediately after, but I would assume if Ammon really wanted everyone to give up and go home, he’d have had every opportunity in the world on the call recording below… but he doesn’t mention it.
Frankly, I get quite the opposite impression from him… so I cannot help but wonder if what we’ve heard is more of the FBI trying to silence the truth, as I have already documented.
Listen for yourself, and make your own judgment. Immediately following I will be providing more information on the sanctioned government assassination of rancher LaVoy Finicum.
Dear Friends,
Hundreds of
people were freely coming into the refuge to get education on their
rights. Many group presentations were given each day. On Saturday, the
24th, ten ranchers from Oregon, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona nullified
their grazing contracts with the BLM and U.S. Forest Service. On
Saturday, the 24th, grand jury administrators from Nebraska and Florida
were forming a grand jury to review the abuses in the Hammond case.
Tuesday, the 27th, the day LaVoy was killed, we began releasing
documents exposing criminal acts by the government. The evening of the
27th, a meeting was scheduled with Grant County residents to give a
presentation with those at the refuge. To give their presentation to
hundreds of people in the county, including the county Sheriff.
The FBI
attacked those who were to give the presentation on the way to this
peaceful meeting, leaving hundreds at the meeting with no speakers. On
Wednesday, the 28th, a follow up meeting was scheduled with Harney
County residents with those at the refuge to finalize actions to claim
back lands that were taken by the BLM, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
and United States Forest Service. This included plans to take action to
begin logging again in Harney County and to restore the thriving
economy once known to the Harney County residents. On Thursday evening,
the 29th, a meeting was scheduled with Malheur County residents with
those at the refuge to give a presentation on the constitution as it
pertained to federal limits to land ownership inside the states. This
meeting was to occur in Ontario, Oregon. Hundreds were expected to
attend. The sheriff’s Department also accepted the invitation and was
scheduled to attend.
On Friday
afternoon, the 30th, residents surrounding Jordan Valley, Oregon, had
scheduled a seminar with those at the refuge to come out and inform them
of how they can protect themselves from a national monument that is to
be signed in by President Obama this year, 2016. This monument is twice
the size of Yellowstone, takes up a third of the county’s land mass,
and will put over 250 ranchers out of business as they know it.
Ranchers from Malheur county were scheduled to nullify their contracts
with the U.S. Forest Service.
In the
following weeks, meetings were scheduled in Wyoming, Montana, Utah,
Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and the State of Washington. Multiple
Skype meetings were also set up throughout the Western U.S. All these
meetings were to discuss how they would stand against the
unconstitutional land control by the federal government. Those at the
refuge collected over 50 testimonies of ranchers who lost their family
property to the U.S. Government in Harney and surrounding counties.
Hundreds of government documents were compiled by those at the refuge.
Many of the documents exposed abusive actions by federal government
officials, Judge Grasty, Harney County Sheriff’s Department and direct
abuses to the Hammond family.
Escalation of
force from the FBI, OSP, and the Sheriff’s Department incrementally
increased as the education from the refuge expanded. Government
officials knew that if they did not take forceful preemptive action to
stop the expanding the influence of the refuge, many would begin to
stand for land rights as protected by the United States Constitution.
Make no mistake about it: those that were educating at the refuge and
are now suffering in jail at this time are political prisoners.
Those at the
refuge never pointed a gun and never pulled a trigger to kill. They
chose to educate, giving others the freedom to choose. The government
promoted fear and forceful tactics to control and stop this education.
And ultimately, they used force by the barrel of the gun.
Please watch the video above.
Sincerely,Ammon Bundy, 2/4/16

"Those that make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable."
It pays in large sum to take those words into account as it did for the residents of Nevada....
