Police State

Escalation in Nevada range war as militia demands return of cattle.
"The last rancher in southern Nevada has won a battle over the federal government's round up of his cattle on public land after a week-long standoff with agents.
The Bureau of Land Management announced today that it would stop trying to seize the cattle of Cliven Bundy after armed militia gathered in Nevada."
"Shortly after the deal was agreed, about 100 armed protesters, some on horse back, headed to a corral to demand the BLM also hands back cattle it had already taken. 
Armed members of the BLM and the Bundy family were also reported to be involved in tense talks about the cattle."
This is why the Founders wrote the Second Amendment. But never trust the government. As soon as this militia is gone, they're going to come back with a vengeance.
"As it announced earlier today that it was backing off, the BLM said it did so because it feared for the safety of employees and members of the public.
Despite the week-long protest being called off, there were claims that nearly two dozen police and a SWAT team were waiting on the road near the encampment. "
Sounds like treachery is already planned.
"The BLM had offered to pay Bundy for the cattle it has already rounded up, but protesters are demanding they are released to the rancher.
The cattle are being held in a corral near Mesquite, close to where the SWAT team were spotted.
About an hour after Bundy agreed a deal with the county sheriff, about 100 protesters, some armed and on horseback, headed to the corral.
After tense talks and a standoff, the BLM finally agreed to return the cattle to Bundy. A growing crowd of armed protesters who had gathered at the gate of the base camp were ordered to wait for 30 minutes to give both sides time to talk.
By 5pm ET an agreement had been made that the bureau would release the animals back to the ranchers later on Saturday."
That's what 100 armed protesters can accomplish. This rancher has the media, mostly FoxNews, especially Sean Hannity, to thank for this. This is a great example of nullification. But the government is embarrassed, and this is dangerous to government. It will make somebody pay, and it won't make this mistake again.
"The BLM had said its agents would not be able to leave until protesters are at a safe distance, according to 8 News Now."
That sounds ominous again. They don't need to be there. They caused this problem.
"Supporters for Bundy said about 300 protesters had arrived to help campaign on the rancher's behalf. The BLM put the number at 100."
Then it's probably closer to 300.
"Militias that have streamed into the tiny town just north of Lake Mead told News 8 Now they feel violence is imminent as tempers flare in the desert heat.
'We want to get ourselves between this family and these federal agents,' said Brand Thornton, of the Southern Nevada Militia. 'We have pretty strong feelings that this could erupt in violence.'"
This is why our rulers want those evil militias disarmed. It is to the civilians' credit that they never threatened the aggressors. The only violence initiated was by the government.
"The heavily-armed federal agents, equipped with eight helicopters and backed-up by snipers, surrounded the Bundy ranch after the BLM attained a federal court order to confiscate the family's herd.
A Facebook post made by Bundy supporters told protesters to bring cameras and 'film everything' but 'any rifles people may have with them need to stay in the vehicles'."
"Margaret Houston, Cliven Bundy's sister and a cancer survivor, told those gathered Wednesday at a town hall meeting that the scene 'was like a war zone. I felt like I was not in the United States.
'All of a sudden I get hit from the back, it was like a football tackle,' she said. 'They took me and just threw me down to the ground.'
She was not hurt in the incident, but said she was 'shocked that somebody would actually do this.
Officials blamed a protester kicking a K-9 unit for the aggression. Local leaders of the protests have warned supporters of the Bundys not to wear camouflage and to keep any weapons they bring in their vehicles to try to stem further clashes."
That's too bad, but it makes sense.
"Cliven Bundy has been battling the BLM since 1993, when he refused to pay for grazing rights after the 600,000 acres of public land were reclassified as federal property.
Land managers claimed the change was necessary to protect a rare desert tortoise and limited the Bundy herd to just 150 head, the rancher claims it has been in his family for more than 140 years."
Reclassified is a fancy way of saying stolen.
"Multiple people have been detained while protesting the removal of the cattle, it is not clear if any charges have been pressed against them.
A handful of detentions were made at nearby Overton Marina, where cattle moved off the land are being held by BLM agents, according to 8 News Now.
Clashes erupted soon after the armed agents began trying to impose their will on the protesters."
I appreciate how this article consistently presents government agents as the aggressors.

Infowars claims credit for ending this standoff.
"The federal government backed down and ended their siege against Nevada cattle rancher Cliven Bundy less than 24 hours after an Infowars exposé connecting the land grab to Harry Reid and a Chinese-backed solar farm went viral, becoming the biggest news story on the Internet.
Last night, we revealed how the feds were using the Bureau of Land Management to bully and intimidate ranchers like Bundy, pushing them off public land in order to pave the way for lucrative “green energy” projects backed by the Communist Chinese government and linked to Nevada Senator Harry Reid."
So this was another corrupt Harry Reid land deal, this time with Obama involved.

Have you ever wondered what happened to the buffalo? They were exterminated to kill Indians.
"“These men [eastern hunters] have done more in the last two years, and will do more in the next year, to settle the vexed Indian question, than the entire regular army has done in the last forty years,” wrote General Sheridan with satisfaction. “They are destroying the Indians’ commissary. And it is a well-known fact that an army losing its base of supplies is placed at a great disadvantage. Send them [the private buffalo hunters] powder and lead, if you will; but for a lasting peace, let them kill, skin and sell until the buffaloes are exterminated. Then your prairies can be covered with speckled cattle.”"
And that's what happened. Now government steal cattle so tortoises can roam the prairie.
"Cattle became the successor to buffalo in the late 1860s and early 1870s. That was the era when the ancestors of Cliven Bundy settled in what was to become the State of Nevada, and began to graze cattle in what would later be called the Bunkerville Grazing Allotment. The Bundy family made peaceful and productive use of that allotment for more than 120 years, mixing their labor with the land to create original wealth.
Unfortunately, the Bundy family — like the American Indians – had been living on a reservation: They were never allowed to exercise ownership of their grazing “allotment,” in much the same way that Indians were not permitted to have clear title to their lands. The land on which the Bundy family raised cattle was “owned” by the government, and the Bundys were required to pay rent – in the form of grazing fees – for the “privilege” of making productive use of it. The public-land grazing system has been described as “the nation’s most conspicuous and extensive flirtation with socialism” – except, perhaps, for the Indian Reservation System."
I guess those people forget the military, police, intelligence services, justice system etc. are all socialist.
"In 1993, the same federal Leviathan State that unilaterally “modified” binding treaty agreements with Indian tribes and bands decided to “modify” the terms of the Bundy family’s grazing permit."
Let's hope this doesn't end the same way.
"This was done in the service of a doctrine even more insidious than Manifest Destiny: A new religion in which all human property rights – including, some adherents insist, the right to live itself – are to be sacrificed on the altar of “biocentrism.” The central tenet of that religion is that “Human beings are not inherently superior to other living things.”"
Eco-loons are happy to kill.
"The BLM’s revisions were imposed during the reign of Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt, who in a letter two years earlier (written while he was head of the League of Conservation Voters) declared: “We must identify our enemies and drive them into oblivion.” Babbitt and his comrades have acted with what Sherman described as “vindictive earnestness” in pursuing that objective: In the past twenty years they have all but eradicated cattle ranching in the southwestern United States."
They succeeded.
