As detailed in this section, the movement is also embedded in the everyday life of some rural counties like Harney in southeastern Oregon, where the Malheur Refuge is located; in Josephine County, the home of Sugar Pine Mine in southwest Oregon, where miners allied with armed Patriot movement activists to oppose the Bureau of Land Management; and in Grant County, also in eastern Oregon, whose constitutional sheriff Glenn Palmer asserted the authority of his office make decisions on public land use. You also will find Patriot movement action in nearby Baker County, as well as in Crook and Deschutes counties in central Oregon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The movement embraces an \u201cinside\/outside\u201d strategy. It can be active in normal civic affairs, contributing emergency infrastructure for instance in Josephine County where austerity has hit hard. And it works within the Republican Party, actively pursuing office in GOP primaries and allying with federal land transfer and gun groups to lobby politicians, some of whom openly support the movement. At the same time, its network of rural paramilitaries attempt to create alternative \u201cdual power\u201d structures that some hope will replace the current government. It sets up&nbsp; Committees of Safety it claims represent \u201cWe the People.\u201d Its fake courts threaten to try public officials, challenging their legitimacy. It makes strange claims about Constitutional law, not least about the supposed power of counties over federal authority. And all this is wrapped up in conspiracy theories and antidemocratic social conservatism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Oregon\u2019s Patriot movement goes back to the Posse Comitatus groups of the early 1970s, the latest wave got three big boosts in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Oath Keepers locals appeared immediately after the organization formed in 2009 following President Obama\u2019s election\u2014joining a handful of existing Patriot movement groups in the state.<\/li><li>The movement gained more traction after the Sandy Hook mass shooting in Connecticut set off an exaggerated fear that the federal government was going to take away its guns. In January 2013, twelve of Oregon\u2019s sheriffs signed letters organized by the CSPOA to Vice President Joseph Biden, calling for no new gun restrictions.
