Week III% begins with the East Oregon bantustan outside Burns relatively quiet and no arrests of Fluffy Unicornists so far, despite the possible pre-staging of armored vehicles.
However, following the arrival of the computer-repair guy/ US Superior Court (sic) judge from Colorado more law has “come to town”. In a massive display of agential realism, sovereign mouthpieces have arrived to re-appropriate the legal discourse.
No word yet on the official Unicornist PowerPoint presentation for their “exit plan” postponed from Friday since the warmup act seems to be a legal workshop for the Harney County Committee of (public) Safety. One assumes that coffee and snacks with Freedom Vanilla creamer will be served at the gathering in town. (Now planned for 6pm in Crane, OR)
It was inevitable that the fluffy unicornist insurgents would celebrate MLK day with a Western pioneer lecture of Shakespearean dimensions (recalling Billy Zane’s St Crispin’s Day speech in Tombstone as well as Henry VI, Part II, act IV, Scene II).
KrisAnne Hall, a prominent national face of the so-called patriot movement, will visit Burns on Monday to conduct public workshops supporting the point-of-view of those occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. Hall, a Florida attorney and radio talk show host, is scheduled to lecture from 5-7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday at the Harney County Fairgrounds. Her assistant said she will cover two topics: sovereignty of the state and the constitutional limits of the federal government's control.
