Cliven Bundy, a cattle rancher in Nevada has been able to poke the eye of the giant and get away with it\u2014for now.<\/p>\n
See, Bundy raises cattle and for years has had his cattle grazing on \u201cfederal land\u201d.\u00a0 About 85% of Nevada is federally owned so it is a stretch to even call it a state as such.\u00a0 Bundy and his past relatives have been grazing the same land (his cattle, silly) since the 1880s so he sees it largely as a continuing of a long past agreement.\u00a0 The gubmint sees it differently.\u00a0 Since 1993 Bundy stopped paying them and now they say he owes over a million dollars in past fees.\u00a0 Bundy says the fees charged would run him out of business and speculates that is the gubmint\u2019s intent all along.<\/p>\n
The gubmint also forwards that the land Bundy\u2019s cattle graze on is also home to an endangered desert tortoise and that the cattle \u201croutinely\u201d kill them.\u00a0 As if the cattle see the tortoise and like an 8 year-old seeing a spider on the sidewalk move heaven and earth to splat them.\u00a0 Other sources say the Bureau of Land Management also are guilty of killing the tortoise in their practice of \u201cland management\u201d.\u00a0 The gubmint wants Bundy\u2019s cattle off \u201ctheir\u201d land.<\/p>\n
Enter state Senator Harry Reid.\u00a0 Yes, Harry is a politician.\u00a0 This makes him just a step above a child molester \u00a0and otherwise a piece of shit and a liar.\u00a0 Harry has been linked along with his son Rory to a Chinese firm that were going to construct a wind farm of sorts on the BLM land that Bundy\u2019s cattle graze upon.\u00a0 Some background here\u2026<\/p>\n
Harry has already been linked to suspect and shady land deals where he bought \u201cshit land\u201d for very little and shortly after the land was sold at outrageous profits for some construction effort.\u00a0 I\u2019m talking hundreds of thousands of dollars.\u00a0 (Sort of reminds one of the Hillary cattle futures windfall of profits.)\u00a0 Harry\u2019s son \u00a0just happens to be a lawyer representing the Chinese firm that would build this green energy farm, probably for pennies on the dollar for the land and also being subsidized by YOU the taxpayer.\u00a0 They profit, you pay.<\/p>\n
The gubmint\u2019s response?\u00a0\u00a0 They send in over 200 armed agents to surround the property and to confiscate the cattle \u201cillegally\u201d on federal land.\u00a0 One rumor had the gubmint euthanizing the cows.\u00a0 Another had them selling them presumably to pay the amount back owed since 1993.\u00a0 The Bundy\u2019s went public.\u00a0 Members of local and national militias arrived\u2014armed\u2014to help protect and defend the Bundy\u2019s private land.\u00a0 Cowboys came to help.\u00a0 Members of the Oath Keepers also arrived.<\/p>\n
One official was quoted to say that he hoped the armed invaders \u201chad their funeral plans made.\u201d\u00a0 Imagine that!\u00a0 The gubmint threatening the lives of people who had yet to pose any physical threat of bodily harm.\u00a0 The threat did not have the desired effect.<\/p>\n
Today, the gubmint blinked and backed down.\u00a0 See, everything is political to them (the left).\u00a0 Everything.\u00a0 Somebody higher than Harry and Son ran the numbers and saw that this was no longer politically feasible.\u00a0 Bundy\u2019s cattle are reportedly going to be returned and they will be allowed to graze on the disputed lands.\u00a0 This probably means the boundaries of the wind farm will just be moved elsewhere.\u00a0 A friend of mine thinks the DHS will get its turn and make Bundy disappear.\u00a0 Hopefully Bundy has HIS affairs in order as far as land possession is concerned.\u00a0 The gubmint can\u2019t kill the entire family, can they?<\/p>\n
This is a lesson to us all though.\u00a0 Go public and have a grass roots theme.\u00a0 With enough support, the gubmint will back off.\u00a0 They don\u2019t want the cause of personal responsibility and freedom to grow roots and grow support.\u00a0 They want dependency.\u00a0 It is your call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
