Among the militant members who have accessed government computers at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, one is an Islamic State sympathizer and Adolph Hitler acolyte.

While militant leader Ammon Bundy has repeatedly denied government computers were being used by militants, OPB has again confirmed that Department of Interior computers at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge are being accessed, and in this instance, being used to make a website for the occupation.

...

Occupier David Fry said he drove from Ohio – through a blinding winter storm – to help Bundy and his supporters.

The website he created contains video and audio of Fry at the refuge, as well as a “List of Serious Injustice” and a link to buy fellow militant LaVoy Finicum’s mystery novel.

...

Fry’s Google+ account shows the Ohio man regularly posts anti-Semitic, homophobic, and pro-Nazi propaganda on social media.

Fry also posts in support of ISIS.

1. I am so sick of these fucks.

[ejbr]

18. +1 n/t

[underpants]

2. As long as there are no "action videos" with these.

Link to DU post about Gawker story on the man-like-snacks they are receiving

3. So these idiots have freedom to go off site

Go shopping or drinking in town even though they are trust passing!
When does the federal government step in.
Yes I understand there is a large number of whackadoos in this country but really!
Are we going to sit by and let this continue and grow!

4. So where is the GOP in all of this?

They were verklempt over sailors and Iran last night - still verklempt this morning after the release - but they don't seem to care that a small army has taken over a government building and is holding it hostage, all the while nosing about the computers. Is this okay with them? Would Herr Trump like to see an encampment in Central Park? Hmmm . . . now that I think of it, where are the Democrats in all of this? It's pretty much crickets from all sides. What a bunch of lucky white guys.

5. Okaaaay... So, the Malheur militants are providing material support to an ISIS-sympathizer...

17. remember the movie the pres analyst where the cia and the russians worked together?

the far right "christian" and isis have similarities often pointed out...lets hope they never realize they have so much in common

[TBF]

6. They have wifi? Why are tax payer dollars supporting this BS?

Internet connections, electricity, water - all these things are paid for by taxes if it is on public land. It should all be cut immediately.

7. Where 's the US army that's supposed to be the

world's greatest and costs us $billions?

[Separation]

8. Ah nope

The US military, with exception of the Coast Guard are not allowed to operate against the US population in any policing action.

[sinkingfeeling]

10. Not a police action. It's an insurrection against our government.

[meow2u3]

9. Where's the National Guard?

They ought to be putting down this insurrection now, but the question is, does the government secretly support those seditionist thugs?

11. Okay, what a horrible website

I had to visit since I'm a web developer and I've no fear of competition from that guy.

[annabanana]

14. You'd think Anonymous would have at least interfered a bit. . . n/t

[justiceischeap]

15. Give 'em time.

They're using WordPress (which I often use and love) so, if not correctly protected, very easy to hack.

[pinboy3niner]

20. I see goats in their future

[SHRED]

12. And we taxpayers are paying for this

If nothing is done about this then I have to think it's being done with a "wink and nod" from authorities who are refusing to do the job they are sworn to do.

[annabanana]

13. PLEASE! FEDS! GET ON THIS!

I really can't believe it's been allowed to go on so long without any apparent effort to even slow them down or make them in any way uncomfortable.

[AllyCat]

16. Why is their power on?

[SHRED]

19. That's not all they use them for

They also have gained employee information so they can terrorize those who work there.

21. A look at the source code shows an apparent start date of Oct. 2015 for this moronic web site

-- whose URL I won't post here but is easy enough to find. (At least that's the auto-date on the uploads directory.) I'm sure Anonymous or other white-hat hackers with WordPress knowledge can figure out how to have some fun at their expense.

According to a Whois lookup, the domain name was registered on Feb. 7, 2015 via register.com by one "Gabriel WorldOfTanks" at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Cute.

The site does try to leave session cookies on your device, so if you visit there take precautions to clean cookies, and you probably want to use a VPN, Tor, or other cloaking method in case they have the technical savvy to trace you -- not likely, given the amateurish look of the pathetic site this goon has created, but it doesn't hurt to be on the safe side when dealing with unhinged dumbass zealots.

If I were a hacker (which I'm not), it would be hard to decide whether to deface the site with links to dildo vendors, gastric-distress-inducing Gummi bears, etc.; or to put in an auto-forward to the Southern Poverty Law Center site.
