"...They are obviously planning an ambush at that.. at that Malheur Wildlife Refuge Center. I think at this point those people's chances of coming out of there alive are about one in a thousand. Those FBI agents yesterday would just as soon have shot us as spoke to us. I mean the hatred was palpable in the air with those men. I was challenging them standing out there unarmed and as you know I, you know I don't look very formidable and they would have just as soon swept us aside as even look at us....we have one last chance,...

Many years ago I was a passenger in a car driven by my brother. He cut off a car leaving a gas station, the car followed us about 1/2 a mile to our destination. The occupant got out, ran up ripped open the drivers door and pulled my brother (a smallish 16 year old at the time) out of the car bodily. Turned out the fellow driving was a LEO (Harbor Master) in an unmarked car. He was also not in uniform. Shortly there after a marked police car showed up, with uniformed police officers. The police wrote my brother...

Burns Oregon--CNN attempt to talk Victoria into saying LaVoy was reaching for gun

Burns Chronicles: The Death of LaVoy Finical LaVoy Finicum’s last ride This is the first of a series of articles about the events surrounding the investiture of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge administration buildings by a group headed by Ammon Bundy, son of Cliven and Carol Bundy. The Bundys are well known for the events in Nevada that played out in April 2014. In that incident, the Bundys, along with hundreds of other patriotic Americans, went beyond “civil disobedience” and entered the realm of “civil defiance”, defying, with arms, the intrusion of the Bureau of Land Management into the long...

Funeral services for LaVoy Finicum will be held Friday, February 5 in Kanab, Utah, according to the statement. Kanab is located about 40 miles from Finicum's home town of Cane Beds, Arizona. According to a Facebook post on "LaVoy Finicum's Stand for Freedom", the funeral will be at a church house at 1436 S. McAllister Drive with visitation from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and a service from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The post states all are invited to pay their respects.

In this explosive interview, Shawna Cox - a passenger in LaVoy Finicum's vehicle and an eye witness to his murder - sets the record straight on what REALLY happened. Plus: the bombshell revelation that Ammon Bundy's driver, Mark McConnell, betrayed Bundy and Finicum into the hands of federal agents.

There are several reasons why we have chosen not to dig into this specific aspect of this event, after posting the first three research articles. Here are the ones we are comfortable stating: The freedom continuum has two diametrically opposing forces on either end. On one end, the left, if you travel outward from democracy to socialism to communism eventually you arrive at totalitarianism. The absolute power of government over the individual. The maximum amount of liberty lost. On the oppositional end, the right, again if you travel from democracy to a constitutional republic and keep going, eventually you arrive...

One explanation of how the shooting of LaVoy Finicum unfolded. Worthy of consideration, IMO.

Oregon protest leader Ammon Bundy and seven others were arrested Tuesday night. Protester LaVoy Finicum was killed in the confrontation with police and the FBI.  Follow Breaking911 @Breaking911 Unconfirmed Reports Suggest Militia Leader LaVoy Finicum Killed In Firefight With Police - http://breaking911.com/highways-closed-hospital-on-lockdown-near-scene-of-burns-ore-militia-standoff-after-reports-of-shots-fired/ â€¦ 7:22 PM - 26 Jan 2016 On Wednesday Cliven Bundy, father of Ammon Bundy, told reporters his son told him the FBI murdered militia spokesman LaVoy Finicum with his hands up. “LaVoy Finicum was murdered. Cold-blooded murder. They shot him with his hands up.”

This is a shortened and edited version of FBI footage showing the joint FBI and Oregon State Police traffic stop and OSP officer-involved shooting of Robert “LaVoy” Finicum on the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. You’ll note that Finicum was shot by an Oregon State Police Trooper at relatively close range as he appeared to be reaching into his coat in a manner consistent with attempting to draw a handgun. Flash bangs were then deployed in an effort to get the other occupants of the vehicle to surrender.

The execution of Robert Finicum by some government thugs needs to be investigated immediately by third parties. The family of this murdered man needs legal counsel to get take control of this situation, have the body autopsied and witnesses interviewed now before the government has a chance to cover up what happened.

(CNN)A high-speed getaway attempt and a reach for the waistband are said to have prompted police SWAT team members to open fire on a group of leaders of the Oregon armed occupiers. A law enforcement official described the dramatic showdown that occurred Tuesday night on a desolate stretch of U.S. 395, some distance away from the federal wildlife refuge where the group took over federal buildings nearly a month ago. FBI and Oregon State Police at a command center in Burns were monitoring the group when they departed the refuge to attend a town hall meeting with local residents in...

Wednesday afternoon, Ammon Bundy and six other leaders of the group that has occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns since Jan. 2 will appear in U.S. District Court in Portland, the U.S. Marshal's Service said. Deschutes County Major Crimes Team is investigating the officer-involved fatal shooting of Robert "LaVoy" Finicum. 1:30 p.m. (PST): The courtroom is full, including the jury box, a U.S. Marshal said. About 20 still in the line won't make it inside.

For 26 days, armed occupiers have been holed up in a lonely federal wildlife refuge headquarters in rural Oregon. Dismissing the exhortations of the governor, ignoring the inconveniences of the residents, the occupiers stood their ground, saying they were protesting federal land policies. The government waited patiently for an opportunity to end the situation peacefully. A break came Tuesday night when Ammon Bundy, the group's leader, was arrested along with six others. An eighth person turned himself in. The group's spokesman, LaVoy Finicum, was killed. Here's a look at what happened -- and what happens next:

By now we have heard or read of the shooting death of BLM protester LaVoy Finicum and the wounding of his companion Ryan Bundy at the hands of Federal Agents. It has been reported by witnesses on scene that both were not carrying firearms at the time, although there were guns in the car. Finicum exited the car and was walking toward Agents with hands up, when he was shot several times. Bundy was wounded in the shoulder as he as he sat in the car. Other passengers in the vehicle apparently were not hurt. We are still in a...

Robert "LaVoy" Finicum was killed in a shootout Tuesday while traveling from the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge to John Day for a public meeting, sources have told The Oregonian/OregonLive. It was one day before his 56th birthday, which his wife had traveled from Arizona to celebrate. Finicum, 55, gave reporters the first tours of the occupied grounds at the refuge. He frequently represented Ammon Bundy, the occupation's most public face, at news conferences. Finicum gained the nickname "Tarp Man" from some media outlets early in the occupation after he did a series of interviews one frigid evening with a blue...

Four days after taking the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon, LaVoy Finicum, a 55-year-old Arizona rancher told NBC News that he'd rather die than spend his days in prison. "There are things more important than your life and freedom is one of them," he said in early January as he sat huddled in a blue tarp outside of the wildlife refuge keeping watch with his gun in his lap. "I'm prepared to defend freedom." Finicum told NBC that night that he was staying outside to ensure that the FBI could find him if they came to arrest him....
