EXCLUSIVE: Stolen valor: The militiaman bodyguard of ranchers Cliven and Ammon Bundy is falsely posing as a US Marine who served in Afghanistan and Iraq
A key figure in the armed militia takeover of a federal building in Oregon has been posing as a retired US Marine to boost his 'combat' credentials, Daily Mail Online can reveal.
Brian Cavalier - the personal bodyguard of controversial ranchers Cliven and Ammon Bundy who lead the group - openly boasted to members of the press that he is a Marine who served in Afghanistan and Iraq.
But Daily Mail Online has learned that Cavalier, 44, has faked his military background to appear more credible as a militia henchman - a fact sure to anger some of the group's supporters.
According to US Marine Corp records Cavalier has never served as a Marine, whether it be as a recruit or a Marine Corps contractor...
[BIG SNIP]
He also featured prominently during a tense armed stand-off at the Bundy ranch in March 2014 when authorities tried to seize Cliven Bundy's cattle over a grazing rights row.....

CNN is also spending time posting stories that Bundy took out a federal loan... as if this is somehow an evil act... lots of time spent attacking the people, and not the actual issue. This is usually a very clear indicator of which side is in the right.
Fed plant?
Feeding intel to the Feds?
Or just a scumbag.
A poser is a poser - I don’t care which side they’re on.
The way I see this is, they’ve shot their credibility in the foot by associating with this person.
No two ways about it.
It obvious that they know who and what he is about, since he’s been there with them before.
They do not have any justifiable soapbox standing at this point, one that they may have claimed in the past.
Makes sense..!
Agent provocateur.
The concept is a million years old.
You know who the really crazy pre-OkBomb guys were, before the blast..?
1. The head of security at Elohim City - German guy
2. The founder of Elohim City
These were the really hard-core, darting eyed nuts constantly admonishing people about black helicopters, etc.
AND THEY WERE BOTH FED AGENTS.
Nothing new
> It obvious that they know who and what he is about, since he’s been there with them before.
He could have been lying before.
No.1 was named Andreas Strassmeier.
Yup!
And the amazing thing is he had a vague association with German SF and his father was a very prominent German politician.
It is almost certain he was on loan to us from the German authorities under the theory a genuine German would be more easily able to infiltrate ‘racist’ groups than an American and the German end of the deal was intel regarding groups able to legally mass publish stuff considered illegal once exported to Germany.
Yes, I remember that time.
And Carol Howe’s involvement. She claimed to be BATF informant there. Lots of weirdness associated with that.
we should all be protesting that men will be put back into prison after the sentences were served because of some ditzy feminist that Obama appointed
THAT'S what is meant by ... "SOME one knows who this guy, these guys ... are"
The truth always gets clouded by the “story”
I strongly suspect the Bundys are fake patriots using, duping real ones to get support for their disputes with the government or Federal operatives.
Fakes like this make me want to puke.
Semperr Fi
to all my Marine brothers and sisters

Agree, and the scumbag should be run out of town along with his trailer park trash associates. Sorry but the Bundys are NOT the clowns to get behind. They truly represent what the lame stream media portray as the right wing extremists. They do not represent our cause when there are phonies amongst them.
They had not served the MINIMUM MANDATORY sentences for the crimes they were convicted of.
The trial judge broke the law and the government appealed and won.
Whether or not the 5 year sentence was “fair”, I don’t know, but the judge’s job is to follow the law not legislate from the bench.
so the common sense argument that the judge threw out that these men did nothing different than a million other people do to their land holds no water?
Obama just let out a SLEW of drug dealers (who are violent, I’ve had them in my cab when I drove), but these to white country fellers deserve to go STRAIGHT back to jail.
because some ditz hired under some moron president decided its THAT important to teach God knows Who a lesson.
they can both go to hell.
