The question to begin asking, as the ancient Romans used to when investigating crimes, is Who Profits? Whoever stands to profit from these actions is guilty most likely. To involve the gov to do your dirty work requires big money and better connections.
Somebody wants that land, and they need to get those people off at all costs. Offer them money, then make life hard, then threaten, then haul them into court on whatever charges they can (and when they want you in jail it doesn't matter if you are a Boy Scout they will find something illegal), ram ugh the courts, then use 'justified' force to remove you, then whoever is left starts having 'accidents'.
Who wants that land? What is so valuable about it? Hidden minerals? Oil? Water rights? Ancient artifacts discovered nearby?
To spend money to get them off, means it is worth much much more.
The terrorism charges is why we need to force people to apply the terrorist label rationally. Language matters and government is trying to manipulate it to get war powers here at home.
A terrorist should always have to have foreign ties because that title invokes foreign targeted institutions. Do not let them manipulate that word. It will be our death.
I also dislike the evolution of the words Terrorist/Terrorism in recent years.
A terrorist is someone who inflicts terror and terrorism is something that terrorists do to inflict terror.
Terror = extreme fear.
IMO.
IMHO; yes, The U.S. Government and skydive instructors are considered terrorists to me.
terrorism is specifically a term that refers to using violence to create political change, there is no requirement for the act to be in any particular territory. that has always been the meaning of the term. the key is to ensure effect action can be easily taken against TYRANNY, since tyranny is always more of a threat than terrorism. there is no effective governmental defense against terrorism while tyranny exists.
This is utterly disgusting. The amount they get away with is sickening. God forbid ranchers and farmers exist as they've done for decades on land that they own. Shameful, disgraceful, that this is what the US has come to. Torturing and persecuting it's own people, the people that help build and hold up this nation. It's hard to believe this is happening right here, in our own backyards, not in some backwards third world country. Really is hard to watch it all burn, figuratively and literally, right before our eyes.

It's almost like they want people to fight back. "Damn white Christians wont start a war, burn there homes. I have more muslims to import." -Obummer

it's stupid to link this to Obama. BLM has operated across presidential administrations.

It's like a drill set. The bits might change, but you're still getting screwed.
