While the United States Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” W. Joseph Astarita, a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent (acting under-color-of-law), fatally shoots R. LaVoy Finicum, during a routine “traffic” (a legal term for goods, services, or persons in commercial “transit”) stop.  Finicum was on his way to the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge to express support for Ammon and Ryan Bundy, in their standoff against the Bureau of Land Management.
