“Weeks ago, occupier Scott Willingham was pacing around the front gate of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, wearing a camouflage vest with ammunition, a skullcap and AR-15 rifle.
On Tuesday, he was dressed in jeans, boots and a U.S. Fish & Wildlife T-shirt, sitting inside The Narrows, a café and RV park a few miles from the refuge, and waiting for the FBI.
Willingham, 48, of Leadville, Colorado, is offering himself up as a mediator between the FBI and the last four people left at the refuge, 30 miles southeast of Burns.
He wants to help the community heal from the effects of the occupation, he said.
"At this point in time, all anybody should care about is trying to help the community get past it," Willingham said.”

“He was with Finicum when Finicum took out surveillance cameras near a substation six miles from Burns. And when another occupier was arrested in Burns on suspicion of stealing a government truck, he was the one to clear reporters from the refuge compound with a shout: "All media -- out!"”
*
“After about four hours waiting at The Narrows for the FBI to show up, Willingham said he was starting to feel demoralized because no agents had come to talk to him. Bearcats and black SUVS drove through the roadblock a few hundred feet from the café but no agents came in as he had hoped.
"They're treating me like a (expletive) flea, man," he said.”

I believe it was put there a few days ago, maybe over the weekend, when word was first out that there is a call for more militia types to go there to rescue the *advertiser censored* that are still ensconced in the turnaroud.There is a roadblock a few hundred feet from the Cafe? I must have missed something.

Now, I read at JJMacNab that there is a restriction on air traffic over the Refuge. But, that it isn't new, its been that way for awhile.

Oh, and getting back to Ted Nugent:
Gun owners are pressuring the National Rifle Association to boot longtime board member Ted Nugent from the organizations leadership ranks after the rock stars social media outburst that depicted prominent American Jews as the men and women really behind gun control. Nugent, an outspoken Second Amendment advocate, posted a photo on Facebook this week calling Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Jew York City Mayor Mikey Bloomberg, former senator Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, among many others, punks who would deny us the basic human right to self defense and to keep and bear arms while many of them have paid hired armed security.

Jeez, you just can't make this stuff up!
I'll have to check but a no fly zone over the refuge was put out last week. I posted it here. Read it was to expire today but I'm sure it was renewed.

I have been following Zaitz's tweets today and gathered that something peculiar was going on. When he finally gave the Facebook link, it wouldn't open for me so I thank you for providing a link that opens and spells out what the deal is. The awkward thing for Zaitz is he actually lives in that County, as I understand it.Les Zaitz facebook explaining the Palmer's complaint to the DA about Les. Can this turn the towns even more upside down? Crazy. I'll have to find the video of the Narrows Campground owner I watched this morning, even more out there.
