Heavily armed FBI presence at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge

The Bundy Bunch and the Idaho Three IQ have been shown prominently in the media, but little has been shown of an FBI presence. They are very definitely onsite.

This video, which is difficult to listen to because of the deluded bullshit from Pete Santilli, shows a conversation between the FBI and Idaho Three IQ that took place a week ago. There are about a dozen or so heavily armed FBI agents. From what I saw, every single one of the FBI agents is carrying a machine gun (looks like M4s).

The audio is sketchy during much of it, but from what I can hear the FBI agents are being extremely patient listening to the rambling bullshit of the asshats offering to take their Writs of Ridiculous back up the FBI chain of command.

4. Yep, there is probably a lot going on behind the scenes the general public is not aware of. The FBI

5. Yah, 30 miles from the Refuge they have a 'base camp' at the Burns airport.

and I think they probably are monitoring closely with their fancy equipment.

But what are they waiting for, to seal-off access (in and out) of the occupied Refuge building,
to jam and/or disconnect their electricity, computers, cell phones and water, etc. and to
surround the Federal Building with FBI & police to establish a wide perimeter around the
building to make sure they don't sneak out & in, no more supporters coming in, no more press
giving them a national platform on Oregon & national TV. then simply wait them out .. once
they do this I'd give these yahoos 2-3 days before they turn themselves in.

Sealing-off the place is non-violent, no bloodshed, and only makes sense; in order to end this
before someone gets seriously hurt or killed, in Burns for example, where Bundy & company
have been harassing local residents while armed to the teeth.
