During a one hour interview with Western Montana Bureau of Land Management Resource Advisory Council insider and Montana GOP Chair Dan Happel, Josh Sigurdson who was joined by author and economist John Sneisen asked Dan about the recent death/murder of Lavoy Finicum as well as the arrest of Ammon Bundy and many other property rights and liberty activists. Ammon Bundy of course is the son of rancher Cliven Bundy who was made especially famous after a standoff that lasted a month in 2014 at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada following a 21 year battle with the Bureau of Land Management.
Dan Happel who is also an expert on Agenda 21/2030 spoke on his dismay over the treatment of Ammon Bundy. Mr. Happel had previously been on a radio show with Ammon Bundy and said of the Bundy family, "They very law abiding, decent, genuine citizens who feel we're losing our property rights and they're willing to take government to task on that regard."
Dan Happel went on to say,
"They are not violent people. Most of the people involved are extremely law abiding citizens. We've got a rogue government that's been militarized. They're out of control! We've re-educated our entire culture to think in terms of military occupation."

Mr. Happel has tried to sway those within the BLM in Montana, even attempting to bring in Senator Jennifer Fielder who also serves on The American Land Council. Dan wanted Senator Fielder to talk to the BLM about the public lands issues. As Dan mentioned, there was a lot of dis-info in the RAC meetings despite the motto of the branch which is "Making significant progress towards consensus."
According to Dan, the citizen group and government didn't want to hear about it and shut him down.

Dan who has served as the Madison County Commissioner, went on to say that the county court house is now getting ready to go through a major security upgrade because they're concerned about security threats which he calls nonsense.
Dan says,
"I would much rather take my chances on terrorists taking over and then dealing with it when we have to than to destroy our entire culture and turn ourselves into a giant military camp."

Dan couldn't be more correct. A natural intrinsic right is to own your property. Why is it that ranchers who've owned land for 6+ generations have to lose their land to the government? If the constitution was acknowledged at all, people would be able to maintain their property rights, their ability to consent and of course to bear arms.
Instead people like Ammon Bundy, Lavoy Finicum, basically everyone that wishes to start a militia against a corrupt government is called a terrorist. These were the heroes of yesteryear. The kind of people write the documentation that presidents swear an oath to. Interesting but not surprising that we see the complete desecration of the constitution in front of our eyes and the collectivist world order continues to grow.
The government wants you to take your beating and like it. You're a pawn and you shouldn't speak up, because you'll have to be punished.
These are the sentiments of your "humble" government.

We will continue to cover this story as it develops.

STAY TUNED FOR THE FULL INTERVIEW WITH DAN HAPPEL.
