An FBI agent testified during a Wednesday detention hearing that a Tooele County man showed no remorse when he thought — incorrectly — that he had bombed a Bureau of Land Management cabin on the Arizona Strip the night of June 21.
The federal defender for William Keebler, meanwhile, said undercover agents proposed the explosive types, drove Keebler to the location, placed the bomb, handed Keebler a remote trigger and told him to press the button three times.
Keebler knew the cabins to be unoccupied, said Lynn Donaldson, and his actions amounted to “an extreme act of disobedience, in the nature of vandalism.” Continue reading “FBI agent: Investigation of alleged attempted bomber began after his involvement at Bundy Ranch”

No one wants to throw cold water on the party, especially when it comes to a victory over the IRS. However, an exclusive interview with Attorney Robert Everett Johnson of the Institute for Justice (IJ) reveals how little the tax-collection agency has conceded with their policy updates.

The mask has finally come off the real reason for the “BREXIT” as a 10 page EU plan by France and Germany is now exposed, creating an EU “Super-State” where members would no longer be countries! Apparently, 20 Ministers of the EU have already signed-off on the plan at secret meetings in Berlin and Paris, and countries which have not signed off, will be given an ultimatum at a meeting in Prague later today: Accept this or get out of the EU. This document was kept secret from the British people prior to the BREXIT vote; apparently to conceal from them they would be asked to give up being a country!
