As the Daily Beast reports, far-right militia organizer Ammon Bundy, who led an armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon in 2016 after his father Cliven Bundy’s standoff in 2014 with Bureau of Land Management officials in Nevada over unpaid cattle grazing fees, is on a tour to promote his new so-called “People’s Rights Network.”
Now Bundy and People’s Rights are on a speaking tour in Utah, drawing audiences at anti-maskers’ homes and survivalist conferences—and potentially riling up new recruits for future anti-government violence, experts warn.
The tour comes as People’s Rights issues dark warnings about the future, and extremism-watchers warn that the group might return to its roots in public land battles. (The People’s Rights network did not return a request for comment.)

Does he do this because there is some sort of grift involved, or does he believe the nonsense he spouts?
Growing up in a family that spent decades grifting off the government (= us taxpayers) makes me think this is his chosen profession.
I wonder whether he's being funded by government-hating forces to stir up the rubes.

I think they do this intentionally - they'll take over something, or break other laws, then when the government clamps down they cry 'freedumb!!!' and get as many as they can to turn against the government. Doesn't do them any good to pull their crap when the guy running the place caters to you.
They seemed to be pretty quiet when the Former Guy was in office.
