U.S. and state officials in Oregon on Wednesday set up checkpoints around Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, where an armed group pledged to prolong its standoff with the government a day after one protester was killed and eight others were arrested.

Oregon militia spokesman LaVoy Finicum has been shot dead after a traffic stop escalated into a shoot-out that saw Ryan Bundy wounded and eight leaders of the occupation movement arrested.

The group’s leader Ammon Bundy was among the militiamen arrested during the encounter on Tuesday afternoon as they drove to attend a community meeting in the neighboring town.

It was the culmination of a tense stand-off between federal agents and the activists more than three weeks after they took over a government building in Burns, Oregon, to protest two ranchers being jailed.

According to local media, shots were fired within minutes of the traffic stop, killing Finicum and wounding 43-year-old Ryan Bundy. It is not clear who opened fire first. However, Finicum’s daughter posted on her Facebook page yesterday that her dad was shot with his hands up in cold blood.

Ammon Bundy, Ryan Bundy, and three other leaders of the occupation – Ryan Payne, 32; Brian Cavalier, 44, and Shawna Cox, 59 – were charged with conspiracy to impede federal officers,Oregon Live reports.

All detained militia members were being held at Multnomah County Jail without bail Wednesday.

For me, as someone who extensively studied the Third Reich and the rise of tyranny in Nazi Germany in school, what’s happening in 2015 under the reign of the Muslim king Barack Hussein Obama in America sets off warning bells of every kind. The parallels are so similar that it is actually unbelievable it is happening. But to quote Elaine from Seinfeld, “oh, it be happening”.

The similarities are terrifying, the conclusion inevitable.

Right now, in the city of Baltimore, 5,000 National Guard troops have been deployed to “keep the peace” since the race baiters began busing in out of town agitators to set the place on fire. The same thing happened a few months ago in the town of Ferguson. But guess what? In both cases, these “riots” were funded and created by Democratic operatives bankrolled by George Soros. You can read all about it here. Adolf Hitler knew quite well that in order to justify a military presence on civilian streets, you had to create a compelling reason for them to be there. Obama has studied Hitler’s playbook and has become an expert in Nazi-style domestic warfare.

Since main stream America continues to blindly accept these hostile advances without much question, and the lapdog American media – Fox included – will not bring to light Obama’s nefarious deeds, the tide is rolling on and the stakes are getting higher. The military occupation of a peacetime America has already begun, and Operation Jade Helm 15 is proof of that.

The Washington Times reports that The White House tried to reassure Americans and the governor of Texas Wednesday that a planned special U.S. military training operation in several southwestern states is no cause for alarm.

The plans for Operation Jade Helm 15 have raised fears among some Texans of a federal occupation.

“In no way will the constitutional rights or civil liberties of any American citizen be infringed upon while this exercise is being conducted,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest.

The military exercise is called Operation Jade Helm 15, and will involve about 1,200 special forces training over eight weeks that will simulate special operations in hostile territory. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered members of the Texas State Guard to “monitor” the federal troops in the upcoming exercise.

Asked by a reporter in the White House press corps whether Texans were expressing “paranoia” or whether their concerns were justified, Mr. Earnest refuted reports that the special forces would be “incognito.”

At a special meeting Monday of the Bastrop County, Texas, commissioners, U.S. Army Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria tried to assure local residents that the training operation will be routine and said it’s vital to prepare soldiers for real operations.

“The terrain is very challenging and it’s going to make our soldiers sweat, and sweating in peacetime is what we want because it’s going to reduce the bleeding in wartime,” he said.

But his presentation didn’t allay the concerns of some residents.

“It’s the same thing that happened in Nazi Germany,” Bob Wells of Bastrop told the Austin American-Statesman. “You get the people used to the troops on the street, the appearance of uniformed troops and the militarization of the police. They’re gathering intelligence. That’s what they’re doing. And they’re moving logistics in place for martial law. That’s my feeling. Now I could be wrong. I hope I am wrong. I hope I’m a ‘conspiracy theorist.’”

Yes Bob, it is exactly what happened in Nazi Germany, excellent observation. And no, recognizing this does not make you a “conspiracy theorist”, it makes you a wide-awake observer.

Remember a few years ago we had the Boston Bombings? There was an event that happened there that was almost completely unreported by the media, and yet to me, it was the turning point in Obama’s plan to roll out martial law. For a 24-hour period, martial law was declared over the entire city of Boston as they “searched the streets” for the cowering little punk who was founding hiding in a fishing boat in someone’s backyard.

This is the moment Obama knew America would accept martial law:

And for the entire 24 hours, homes were entered with no warrants, people were not allowed on the streets, the United States Constitution effectively suspended. What was the result, you ask? The result was that the brainless, mindless sheeple of Boston actually cheered the militarized police presence that had just locked down the town. I contend that it is was this very moment that Barack Obama, watching this play out in real time, knew he could absolutely install a permanent military presence on main street. All he would have to do is to keep the preplanned riots and attacks coming.

This is exactly what Adolf Hitler did, and it is exactly what Barack Hussein Obama is doing. And the American people are laying down for Obama just the same as the German people laid down for Hitler. We have learned nothing, not one  thing, in the aftermath of WWII and Adolf Hitler. All these urban “war exercises” that you’ve been seeing during Obama’s administration will continue to get more frequent and closer together until troops on American streets are a permanent presence. America was there to rescue the world from Hitler and the Nazis, there is no one to rescue America from Obama and his minions.

Look out your windows, America, history is repeating itself. Now go back to watching Bruce Jenner transition into a woman, endless hours of sports, and continue drinking yourself into “happy hour” oblivion. You’re doing exactly what they need you to do.

Game over. You lose.

Miami-Dade Police said an ammunition box that had fallen out of a Blackhawk helicopter was found Friday

The most interesting thing about this article is the Army’s statement that “The public will receive no notice of when and where the war games will be conducted…” Didn’t this used to be America, didn’t we used to be a free nation? Now in 2015, we are told we have to accept as commonplace midnight bombing run exercises over civilian populations? See how slick they are? The “change” took place, and you never even noticed it.

A militarized, civilian America is Obama’s gift to you.

MIAMI (CBSMiami) — “It was just loud. I guess it was because it was right overhead,” Megan Fallman said of the U.S. Army helicopters over her home along the Miami-Dade/Broward line Wednesday night. “They came right overhead.”

The Army said in a news release issued January 26th that the exercises will continue through next Thursday. The public will receive no notice of when and where the war games will be conducted, but the Army’s release said “every precaution will be taken to mitigate risks for the safety of all.”

The Blackhawk helicopters were participating in war games, what the Army called routine, low altitude training. But the routine was broken when one of the choppers dropped a bomb-like ammunitions container overboard in Northwest Miami-Dade.

The silver ammo tin and its contents were recovered Thursday. Miami-Dade police would only say the container and ammunition were retrieved safely somewhere in Northwest Miami-Dade, and that it did not strike anyone’s home. source
