The Feds pulled their stormtroopers/snipers back shortly after the arrival of the armed militias and the other US citizens who rallied in defense of Cliven Bundy. Bundy is being ejected from the ranch his family has owned since the 19th century in the continuing confiscation of private land by the federal government. The plot so far includes the greed of Harry Reid and the BLM’s incessant drive to eradicate ranchers totally from Nevada’s 90% federal lands. Today the BLM is under Reid’s former chief of staff, a Reid toady who is furiously enabling the Reid-Chinese solar project. Think money. Lots of it.
Parenthetically, it seems insane to allow the federal government to own any land at all; if there is a more incompetent landowner, I’m not sure who it would be. Think about the great Yellowstone wildfire and the huge forest fires that have been caused by “Smoky the Bear”-type refusal to allow the deadwood to burn selectively, and instead to build up to feed the disastrous megafires.
But back to Bundy’s war. Harry Reid exclaims that it is not over, that no one should be allowed to break the law and walk away. Except Democrat Senators, of course, who declare illegals to be off-limits, and the border to be ignored, etc.
And it is not over. It is also reported that the Feds are plotting a raid on the Bundy ranch. If they can’t get the cattle, they’ll get the cattleman.
The details seem to follow the money, as do all things political. According to Powerlineblog, the actual need for Bundy’s land is as a “mitigation area” for placing displaced desert tortoises from the actual site where the Chinese solar project promoted by Reid. So what is happening appears actually to be the sacrifice of Bundy for the Reid-Chinese solar project.
I have asked my congressperson to investigate the Reid-Chinese incursion into the BLM, and the BLM’s confiscation of private land.
