Sipsey Street Irregulars, April 10, 2014
Folks,
Sorry for the late start this morning. I was up quite late last night, speaking with a number of people very familiar with the situation on the ground at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada, including Stewart Rhodes. Oath Keepers is marshaling support and the following email explains what they are about and gives some instructions for folks attending the protest. They were forwarded to me with the comment: “I just got them in an email from Stewart. Feel free to share as you like. There should be a formal call to action and press release later today.”
Oath Keepers,
We need a presence there immediately to help prevent the feds sparking another Ruby Ridge or Waco incident in the Bundy stand-off.
Nevada State Rep. Michele Fiore . . . is on site right now at the protest site outside the Bundy ranch, and she is helping us assemble a coalition of Nevada state legislators. We are also working with WA State Rep Matt Shea to put together a delegation of other Western State Representatives to go there to support Rep. Fiore and her coalition, and we are working with Sheriff Mack to bring a delegation of current serving CSPOA Sheriffs to stand vigil there. We need Oath Keepers to also show up and stand vigil and support this family and the patriot legislators and sheriffs who are taking the lead in defending them. This is critical. The goal is to stand vigil to prevent another Waco or Ruby Ridge, and to put pressure on the Nevada Governor to honor the oath he took by standing up for this family and for the state of Nevada.
I fly to Vegas tomorrow. Sheriff Mack is coming too, along with the current serving Sheriffs he is rallying to the cause.
All who can make it, need to be there. We need numbers – boots on the ground. The more the better. For those who are coming, please rally at the public protest site near the ranch in Bunkerville, Nevada. To get there, take I-15 North, toward Mesquite, and get off at exit 112. Go right two miles (you can only go right). You will see tall flag poles and signs. Can’t miss it.
Per Ammon Bundy, here are some rules:
First, NO MILITARY CAMMO. This is a protest by rural Americans. Dress accordingly. (from me: Oath Keepers can wear Oath Keepers polos if you have them, or OK T shirts, but please no cammo. Let’s respect the Bundy family request).
No open carry of rifles. Any rifles people may have with them need to stay in the vehicles. When you arrive at the protest rally point, ask for Ammon Bundy, Cliven Bundy’s son, to check in. If he is not there, he will have designated another family rep for you to check in with. DO NOT go past that first rally point/protest site with the flags that the family has set up on private land. Beyond that is the road to their ranch, and no one is to drive to the ranch without express permission and escort by Cliven Bundy or his sons. Please respect their need for security and privacy.
No volunteer is to give any media interviews. Refer all media first and foremost to the Bundy family members present, in particular Cliven Bundy, Ammon, or one of the other sons. And/or refer them to one of the current serving Nevada State legislators who will be there, such as Michele Fiore (she is gathering a coalition of Nevada representatives), or one of the current serving Sheriff’s who will be coming. We are there to support them, and let them handle the media.
If any media ask to interview Oath Keepers, please refer them to me, but I will likely just refer them to the family until we do a press conference once Sheriff Mack arrives – and even then, the focus will be on the coalition of current serving Western State Legislators and Sheriffs that we are helping to gather. They and the family will be the main effort, and we are there as support.
BRING CAMERAS. Film everything. The more cameras, the better.
Bring relevant signs about honoring the oath, respecting property rights and free speech rights. We are there to stand up for rural Americans who are under attack and to pressure the Governor and the Clark County Sheriff to do their duty.
Ammon said volunteers can camp on private property that is on the side of the road at the main protest site the family has set up (the first gathering place you will come to with signs and flags once you get off I-15 at exit 112 and go about two miles). Again, please ask the family members present where to park and where to camp if you want to camp.

Maybe I’m out of line here but this sounds like it has the makings of a dog and pony show. I’ll see tomorrow when I get there.
You guys seem to know all about Militias, is there any Militia groups that you know of near Chattanooga, Tennessee? I would like to join. I don’t want to join any of these Militias that claim they don’t want to go against the Federal government. What would be the point? It’s not our government anyway.
To Stewart Rhodes,
The days of being nice have ended. Wearing rifle on the back or a side arm would be a further deterrence against the oath breakers who open carry their guns and rifles who will not leave them in the cruisers. Stewart, If you want to defend the First Amendment, You better back it up with the Second Amendment.
We can’t survive another year of this “peace”, there won’t be anything left. In my opinion the “Oath Keepers” are controlled descent/stall agents for the FEDS, if not outright informants. “In my opinion”.
Exactly my thoughts. Either that or they are cowards.
They didn’t do anything during the Boston Marathon incident and they didn’t do anything when the ATF illegally raided and confiscated records from that one gun shop a few weeks ago (in which they had a suspicious suprise meeting almost the exact same time the ATF raided the place before they got there, which further leads me to believe that they are either a front operation or have already been infiltrated and are controlled opposition).
So what the hell will they do at Bundy’s Ranch? Oh yea, NOTHING!!
Hi Gilligan,
If it acts like Controlled-Descent (CD), looks like CD,… sounds like CD,.. and smells like CD,…. chances are,… IT’S CONTROLLED DESCENT! (aka: Trojan Horse)
JD
Protesting while they round up all the cattle is not going to win the day. The Feds must be physically stopped from taking the cattle, and that means numbers and equal firepower as deterrence.
That coward Stewart Rhodes can kiss my ass!
We need to drop all cell phones and prevent any knowledge of the route. No way to track no way to know. Roll into nevada in a convoy loaded and ready. Dont take shit from anyone period or shut the f#@k up and go home.
Jim Lordy from Montana the first real militia to show up that I can find.
More protesters arriving in Bundy, BLM cattle dispute

Right on man.
My Fellow Americans:
Allow to interpret Stewart Rhodes:
(In a high whiney vioce)
Oooo,…. please don’t bring anything you could defend yourself, or your Rights with,… we’re just a bunch of pussy’s and don’t want to upset the Domestic Terrorist Organizations (formally the US Fed Gov’t) who are going to try and kill us in the near future anyway….
now,.. there is to be nothing looking like a ,…. Ga,…. (looking around carefully, then whispering,… you know,… the “G” items….) and no wearing of camo,… it just looks to manly,…
You are allowed to bring your “Oath Keeper” sign ,…. and you can wear your pink tutu if it’s not in the cleaners…..
Other than that,.. we will NOT do anything that suggest we’re men,… or we understand that they gov’t and its criminal agencies are no longer legitimate,….
Now go,… carry your signs proudly,.. like a Gay Pride Sign,… and if any of these criminals strikes you,.. fall on the ground and cry a lot!!,… and make sure someone video’s it!
When you get up,.. you can go on line,… and hit our donate button!
JD – US Marines – You know folks,… I’m not sure on this one,.. but I don’t think ‘Ol Rhodes is conscious to what is really happening in our country,… or,… he’s just another Trojan Horse in our ranks. You decide.
Cliven Bundy was interviewed on the Sean Hannity radio show this afternoon. Cliven said nothing short of force was going to stop the feds. Of course, Sean Hannity would never ask the obvious question: “Mr. Bundy, do you authorize the militia to be on your property and do you want their support?” – Can SOMEONE, ANYONE, get Cliven Bundy on record with an answer to that question?! More questions: “Mr. Bundy, are you aware that that your son has advised no long rifles be brought to your property? Is that your opinion? How can you effectively defend yourself against armed sniper teams without equal force? Mr. Bundy, who is running your defense, you or your son, or ‘Oathkeepers’? Mr. Bundy, are you aware of what happened to Ed and Elaine Brown?
“No open carry of rifles. Any rifles people may have with them need to stay in the vehicles.”
Kind of hard to make a show of resistance without carrying a gun. This sounds like a potential turkey shoot to me. If the Feds release the K-9 dogs, or start to shoot and/or Taser people, what are Bundy’s people going to do? I can see it now: “Time out, while I go back to my car to get my gun”.
I would presume that having a troop of 1000 Boy Scouts lined-up would be more effective that an ‘unarmed’ militia; however, babies and young children didn’t stand in the way of the Feds’ actions at Waco or Ruby Ridge.
I agree with JD; it has become a media dog and pony show of Controlled-Dissent. The MSM will paint this picture as one more reason to disarm law-abiding citizens. Can you imagine how Obama is drooling at the opportunity to take-out dissenters, Oath Keepers, and law abiding Nevada State Legislators at the same time?
