I am going to outline for you three stories that seem to overlap perfectly. The problem is that only one of these stories is supposed to be fictional. Let’s start with the film The Revenant, which released on 12-16 (Oregon standoff began 1-2-2016):
Hugh Glass is an 1823 fur trapper who narrowly escapes Indian attack by scurrying to his boat and floating down a river. The Indians steal half their furs and Hugh and his crew are forced to cache the remaining fortune under rocks and return for them later.
French men in the film kidnap an Indian woman, which sparked the entire plot of the movie. A French book called Le Revenant mentions the word malheur several times.
Now for the Malheur River history. This is right out of Wikipedia:
The name of the river is derived from the French for “misfortune.”[5] The name was attached to the river by French Canadian voyageur trappers working for the North West Company on the Snake County Expeditions of Donald Mackenzie as early as 1818 for the unfortunate circumstance that some beaver furs they had cached there were discovered and stolen by Indians.
And, finally, let’s recap the Oregon Standoff:
An occupation of the Malheur wildlife refuge by armed militia that began 2 weeks after the film, The Revenant released and a full year before the storyline and filming began. The land beneath the refuge contains a fortune in Uranium, which is processed into pellets:
Wow, can you stretch this any more? What a load of crap. I think your tinfoil hat is put on a bit too tight, it’s cutting off circulation to your brain.
