"This was an extralegal action by a Federal agency, directed by a politician"

I'm beginning to believe that this is one of the major reasons why they folded so abruptly.

" take the time to watch it!!"

I'm generally in favor of reading the transcript as it is much faster and fast forwarding is easier too. The guy has some good production values - like clipping many of the pauses out so it's not as painful to watch as most.

“Just once I would like to see a governor or sheriff put up some resistance to the Feds.”

You’ll love this guy - Sheriff Tony DeMeo of Nye County (north of Vegas) and another illegal BLM land grab:

Part I of III https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaEKB8pU2Tw (9:31) Watch 3:55-5:09 for their tactics.

Heartwarming comment to a Federal threat to take the cattle by force: “Your SWAT team will face our SWAT team”.

This is just the latest battle in the Federal governments War on Natural Resource Harvesters - begun in earnest in 1973 on Pacific West Coast commercial salmon fishermen by Nixon & Co. We went to SCOTUS. We lost.

Klamath Falls, Oregon in 2001 was much the same battle as the Bundys; complete with armed Feds. They lost.

Then came San Joaquin Valley farmers a few years ago. No one noticed. They lost.

Many here might wonder why there is no general public outcry - beyond the MSN not or under reporting. The answer is simple: most people take their food supply for granted - the supermarket will always have food - and give it no other thought.

This War will continue until food is no longer harvested in the US; for some years now the US has been a net importer of food - this will only accelerate.

Some say it is about freedom - got news for you - that was lost when we lost in SCOTUS in 1978.

Some say it is about property rights - got news for you - that is also lost.

When the Federal Government controls the total food supply, all your guns, all your land will not feed you.

The Bundy battle is just another small bite, but they are starting to add up. The Federal Government can back off for now on the big battles, but they will continue the march in other directions, other venues where no one will notice.

It does not matter who supplies our health care, if there is no food to eat or only what the Federal Government decides to dole out.

The gov should have called in the state police to arrest the BLM thugs.

No, he’s really good at telling others to kill people. Up close and personal he’d pi$$ his pants.

Everyone should take time to send it to everyone they know with a computer as I just did

Much like Zimbabwe, a ten pound sack of rice, 100 pounds of beans, a cell phone and a housing voucher pretty much buys the votes now in America. The Zanu PF have just been replaced with an EBT card which Chase administrates for a 2% fee.

"Some people claim that what Harry really wants are the water rights, to divert to all his friends in Vegas, baby!"

This is the first I've heard of this. So not sure if its true or not. But it could well be a red herring being put out to de emphasize the Reid/ChiCom wind/solar power plant corruption angle. while at the same time convincing some stupid people that Reid was just trying to help his vegas constituents.

Do we have anything OTHER than Infowars or Dana Loesch to confirm this? I ask because both Alex Jones and Dana Loesch are known “Truthers” and loons.

The Bureau of Land Management, whose director was Sen. Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) former senior adviser, has purged documents from its web site stating that the agency wants Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s cattle off of the land his family has worked for over 140 years in order to make way for solar panel power stations, or turtles.

If there were documents on this site, and if this purging is true, does anyone know if there was a screen capture made before the purge?
