I never met him, he never dropped by, and when he was in Oregon nobody set up a meet. Meanwhile, I pot a lot of hours and money into patriot movement related projects. I missed the part where he had endorsed any of Strats projects or helped rally support for any of our guys.

For that, I am not sure how much I am supposed to care if his boots get filled.

This implosion at the III% world most likely, and this is my educated guess, not secret information, related to upcoming testimony in the Bundy trial and stuff related to the Malheur operation.

Far as we know, we had no representatives there and I had zero reliable contact with anybody involved at the point where they would have trusted any of our guys being there.

Looked to me like they were doing fine for food, fuel, ammo and supplies.

When word got out that a few of their guys needed a rescue operation after most of them left, there was no reliable communication protocol for us to go in without the risk of friendly fire. No radio call signs, no secure comms protocols, no on the ground recon. Mark Koernke and I tried an open broadcast of a potential exhilaration route that stood a good chance of working even if the opposition were trying to block it. From what I could tell on map based recon, too much rough ground with do much brush and tree cover for anyone to try a physical intercept of guys sneaking out at night. If they were not confident enough to make it to the extraction area, neither would we be.

Not our operation, not,our responsibility whether it succeeded or failed. I clearly warned against any of our people going out and attempting to take charge of an op that was just not our operation and I didn't see anyone there really taking responsibility at the leadership level of what I expect on a military operation. Seems I remember some others thought they were going to rush in, take charge, assert control, and got asses beat by Blaine Cooper, who is something of a muscle guy gym rat.

Bottom line though, with my military experience, university degree and 20+ years in this militia movement in one form or another, and close to 30 years in the NRA. I don't take orders from stolen valor types or career E3s. I mean, allow me some self respect.

Far as I see it, what I am looking at is a whole lot of lame ass bullshit. Being excluded from that fuckery is almost as good/bad as getting pushed off the Blackwater executive security detail in Iraq right before that big incident where they fired up a traffic circle full of civilians.
