Friday Night News Dump: FAA Establishes a No Fly Zone Over the Bundy Ranch AreaKimberly Paxton No pilots may operate an aircraft in the areas covered by this NOTAM (except as described) ONLY RELIEF AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS UNDER DIRECTION OF BLM ARE AUTHORIZED IN THE AIRSPACE This means that the only helicopters that will be allowed to fly overhead will belong to the government. News helicopters that might be filming will be strictly off-limits. The Bureau of Land Management can do whatever it wants to protesters without fear of their actions appearing on CNN. This is not a good sign. In fact, with this occurring on a Friday night, anything that occurs in the protest area can be carefully swept under the rug. This is commonly referred to in the press industry as a news dump. Bad news is released on a Friday afternoon or evening in an attempt to avoid media scrutiny. Fewer people pay attention to the news on Friday nights, Saturdays, and Sundays, so this information can be quietly doled out with far less hullabaloo. That also makes the weekend a perfect time for an assault on protesters. Yesterday Clark County Tom Collins said that those traveling to the area to support the Bundy family better have funeral plans. This may not have just been bluster, but ominous foreshadowing of a planned event. Make no mistake, the stage is being set for this to be another Waco or Ruby Ridge: a government-propelled slaughter of those who refuse to comply. Without witnesses, they can spin the story just like they did in those two tragedies, putting the onus on the victims. If you cant physically get to the Bundy Ranch to show your support, make sure that those involved know that we are watching. Please take the time to call or email the contacts below.
