With tensions running high at the Malheur Wildlife Reserve, the Oath Keepers organization is reporting that they have been informed by sources within the U.S. special forces community that special operations assets have been moved into the area.
It was reported on Tuesday that federal authorities are planning to cut the power to the commandeered facility, with hopes that the sub-zero Oregon winter would drive them out without incident, but the potential exists that cutting the power is a simple precursor to laying siege to the building.
According to a report by the Oath Keepers founder and National President, Stewart Rhodes:
Oath Keepers has received very credible information from an active duty source within the special operations community that at least one SOD-X (Reserve/National Guard Special Operations Detachment, see this, this, and this) unit under the command of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) has been tasked for this standoff at the Malheur Wildlife Reserve and moved to the area. Given this, we should expect that other special operations assets, such as Delta Force, will also be involved if the Obama Administration decides to give the green light on a military raid/strike. And we should expect the presence of the infamous FBI HRT (which were present at both Ruby Ridge and Waco).
Numerous major national militia groups, including the Three Percenter movement and the Oath Keepers, have come out to publicly condemn the actions of the Bundys. Many in the community have deemed those involved in the standoff as potential federal agent provocateurs, who in no way represent the militia movement and are instead meant to undermine its legitimacy.
Mike Vanderboegh, founder of the Three Percent movement wrote this on the initial day of the standoff:
I was first apprised of this a few minutes ago by folks on the ground out in Oregon. They report that Payne, Ritzheimer and every other “tiger-talking” fruit, nut and federal provocateur previously identified from the Bundy standoff were now in possession of the building and daring the Feds to do anything about it. My initial reaction was to observe that at least afterward we’ll know who the federal snitches are because they will be the only ones who survive the raid to take back the building. My understanding is that this premeditated action has been condemned by the Oregon Three Percenters and other groups but the fact of the matter is that these people are writing checks that they expect the rest of us to cash in our blood. And the Hammonds themselves are disavowing this action in the strongest terms.
Many of the suspected agent provocateurs were identified as the very same individuals who were reported to have, on numerous occasions, attempted to instigate violence against law enforcement and federal agents during the Bundy Ranch standoff in Nevada.

Make no mistake that this incident will play directly into the ongoing gun control/citizen disarmament movement currently playing out in the United States. The timing of the siege couldn’t have come at a more opportune time for federal authorities to continue to push their narrative about “militia terrorists,” marking a huge propaganda victory.
Below is an official statement from the Oath Keepers organization addressing the Oregon standoff:
Short Oath Keepers Statement on this Standoff
I will post a longer statement later, but for now, here is a brief statement on this situation, in general:
Oath Keepers adamantly opposes the armed takeover of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. This is not in keeping with the moral imperative of only using force in defense when people’s lives are at stake, as at Bundy Ranch in 2014. In this case, neither the Hammonds nor their neighbors were in imminent threat of being murdered, and neither the Hammonds nor their neighbors asked for any form of armed standoff. In fact, they oppose it. This is being done by outsiders who misled and deceived locals, deceived the Hammonds, and deceived the patriot movement by luring them in with a peaceful rally and then attempting to rope them into a premeditated, manufactured armed standoff. Both Ammon Bundy and Ryan Payne (who we suspect is an agent provocateur) told the locals in the Committee of Safety, at a public town hall meeting on December 15, that they, the locals on the committee, would be making the decisions on what was to be done, how, and when. That was a lie, as they were already staging their men and supplies in the area to takeover the wildlife refuge, and had already planned out this takeover of the federal facility at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. By doing this, they have given Obama the best New Years present he could hope for – an example of militia movement/patriot aggression, which gives up the high ground while also having the least credibility and support from the locals possible, after lying to them, and also the least support from the patriot community, who were also blind-sided by Ammon and Ryan Payne.
However, as much as we oppose what Ammon Bundy and Ryan Payne have done, we must warn the Obama Administration that it does not have free reign to “Waco” the people in this standoff by using deadly military force, such as an SOD-X, Delta Force, or the FBI HRT to kill them all. The Federal government must respect their right to due process and do all it can to end this standoff peacefully, without loss of life. It must treat it like the Freeman standoff, not the Waco standoff. There will be no more free Wacos, as Mike Vanderbgh, Founder of the Three Percenter movement puts it. Treat this with kid gloves or risk a civil war.

Those “special ops” should first remember that they took an oath to defend the Constitution and not an oligarchy…
Which one would that be ?
Probably the one you can’t mention…….
The U.S. military does not really have the job of defending America. Just as police officers have no real obligation to protect you! Defending America ultimately is the responsibility of the citizens. On that note, we need to defuse this situation and get the patriots out of there without a scratch. And, without a shot fired.
Time to read your Constitution! Defense of America is actually one of the very few enumerated purposes for which the Federal govt. was created.
You do not get to just call yourself a “Militia” when you get your buddies together at a bunker in the woods. Militia are REGULATED by the state in which they reside. You have to be an authorized and regulated militia to be classed as one. Without that designation from your state you are nothing more than an unauthorized gun club, hunting group, paramilitary group, rebel force or (at worst) a terrorist cell.
That goes for every group out there calling itself a “Militia” without any approval from any state.
I think it’s just the media that is “calling” them Militia —
I suggest you read the Federalist Papers so you’ll understand “who is militia”; this term is very well explained and it does not have to be “regulated” by some sort of authority the term means “trained and disciplined”… I can assure you that many militia members are better trained than many “elite considered” troops under certain authority…
GaiaLogic also might want to check his states statutes. Most states list the “unorganized militia” as being all male residents between the ages of something like 16 and 60 (age varies from state to state).
Your a moron you better go read the decleration of independence then come back and tell me….where does the state derive its just powers from ??? God damn your mama should have swallowed…
The whole US is living in a “Terrotist Cell”. Guns alone responsible for more than 30,000 murders every year, in a ‘so called’, civilized society, …that does not add up to me. Certainly I don’t blame the citizens. I blame the “Evil” that controls them, no matter who resides in the White House, Senate, House of Representitives, etc., ….lt does not matter!
John 9:25
He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
______________________________
“Just as long as man satisfies the desires of the flesh and lives a carnal life, he will remain blind to all that is holy, exalted and of a Spiritual nature. He is unable to understand anything that does not belong to the flesh or is part of the mortal self. He is, indeed, blind.
It is only as he begins to awaken to the temporal nature of his self-being, glimpses something greater and higher, and follows in the Light that he is beginning to see, that he will gradually be relieved of his blindness and be able to recognize the realities of both the body and the Spiritual self, or Soul. As he progresses and sees more clearly, as the REbirth, or Spiritual birth becomes an accomplished fact, he will indeed See, whereas he was blind before.”
I knew that would happen.
Authorized is “liberty’ there is a fee with a license; in short a dog collar. Freedom is being free of the domination of weapons.
Oath Keepers appears to be just one of several Controlled Opposition orgs masquerading as Patriots. The New World Order has been planning to enslave mankind for centuries and their strategy, Divide and Conquer, is finely tuned. We’ve predicted since the beginning of the Burns Oregon operation that Stewart Rhodes would come in as the knight in shining armor to save the day. Beware of False Prophets.
I am thinking the same thing. Why did Oath Keepers go to Ferguson Missouri?
Waco and Ruby ridge and the Colorado Miners back in the day.
no surprise that the feds are the instigators – another finale of a few good folks would certainly call for more gun kontrol.
Here’s hoping the real patriots pack up and go home – Ammon Bundy and Ryan Payne would have to stir up some more trouble elsewhere.
of course barry has been given the task – by the gold collar scum crowd – disarm the population, making them useless.
gee maybe we can watch that hdic cry some more – what hoot.
What Obama is planning is the following: I see that he would like to have all firearms with the high tech chip in place. This leaves our Country open to a take over. Let me explain how they can or may do it. If your weapon has this chip then they can easily shut your firearm/ weapon down by hacking into it or via a National EMP and no one can defend themselves and we are then left open to a complete and swift take over!!!! They will start with the Senior citizens and then those who going for counciling of any type.The next goal of this Administration is to have firearm /gun owner’s to have them purchase some sort of liability insurance with a large coverage 5M or more.This will cost many law abiding citizens a lot of money! Many thousands will not be able afford these premiums and thus this will control and a great majority of the law abiding Citizens to purchase these weapons ! The 2nd Amendment must be protected regardless if you believe in owning a weapon or not! America is changing for the worse! Biblical Prophecy is clear! America was considered to be a Lamb like beast that had two horns on it’s head; representing the Separation of Church & State. We as Americans must uphold the Constitution because if we do not; then as a Nation we will all lose our Freedoms as Americans forever!!!! Anyone who wants to destroy or eliminate Our Constitution this person should be considered an Enemy of the United States Of America! That is why we must stand against them! Patrick Henry said clearly, ” Give Liberty or Give Me Death”. I agree with Infowars and other’s when they stand for what is right, and not what is politically correct! We need to speak up and do what we can via political influence and education! God Protect us! There are many good men serving our government but there are others who are attempting to destroy our Nation! The God’s Words are coming true! Another point I will make is that our Government is planning to implement a day of worship that will be enforced upon all Americans! According to my studies and research it is going to be enforced by the UN. The day that they will be enforcing will be ,Sunday!!!! The day of the Sun! The Pope will the “Spiritual Leader” and America will become the enforcer of this Law! Read: Revelation 13. Study the Scriptures and believe no man!!! I will even tell you not to believe me either but believe God and His Word because soon you will not have your Bibles either! The Bible will be considered a Book of Hate under the Hate Speech laws to come! Never forget that God is in Control and these things are part of Prophecy and they must come to pass in order to fulfill God’s words since they are precise and true! Wake Up America! No time to Sleep! God can delay some things for a short time but soon He will have to cut short things in order to return for His People! God Bless You All and God Bless America!!!!
Posse Comitatus Act? How can they just send in special ops against American citizens on US soil?
It’s easy. They just pass the order.
They did this with the Waco Siege!
Indeed, the government manufactured the Waco siege and turned it into the outcome that they thought served their purposes.
Do we even know for sure that PCA is still in effect?
It seems that, even if it is, it’s largely ignored.
Would the “Real Evil Empire” please stand up!
Germany is doing even worse to their own people. Merkel sent an invading horde to rape the women. When the German men tried to fight back the police finaly did their job. Boy were they prepared which makes one wonder if Merkel’s government is the Weimer Republic 2.0.
Its becoming harder to know who to trust these days. I do believe that this is exactly what the government wants.
Many now know the Gov. Is the last thing you should trust.
Obama promise China that area they are trying to steal from the owners…for debt payment. 56% of Oregon is owned by China
Dear Stuart, what guard unit, where are the vehicles staged, which hotel? Basic questions, which never were answered. Why order a stand down then elevate a response with unfounded rumor? So many questions Stewie.
Take out these gun-toting gentiles. I’ve had enough of them trying to steal the land given to G-d’s Chosen. Stewart Rhodes I suspect works for the Feds. It’s pretty obvious at this point. I just hope they listen to him and leave the refuge so we can swoop in and arrest them without getting our agents hurt in the process. The Feds should also consider targeting their children and placing them in state care. We can’t have children raised believing they have rights that can’t be taken away.
