I am thinking about the Chinese connection to all this (always dangerous, me engaging in thinking), so, here are some speculations.
China holds a whole lot of our worthless treasuries, and it is possible that they are demanding “payback” by taking our physical assets.
It is known that China is buying up all of the west’s gold. And there is speculation that there is no longer any physical gold at Fort Knox - all has been leased, or “re-hypothecated”.
I have read that the land the Chinese purchased in Nevada was sold to them (with Dirty Harry & family’s “help”) for 10 cents on the dollar. The Chinese also bought a major building in NYC (JP Morgan’s?) way below assessed value. This all needs fact-checking, of course.
This land for the solar project is not where Bundy had the grazing and water rights, but Bundy’s land was needed for the “carbon credits”, as an required offset.
If the Feds can’t get Bundy off the land, the solar project cannot take place, and I have read that the Chinese have backed off from proceeding with the project for the time being, perhaps for legal reasons.
If any of these suppositions are true, then Dirty Harry & family might in a big pickle, having been financially compensated for their services. Is so, it suggests more trouble ahead for the Bundys.
Congress writes letter to President; Secretary of Interior; Head of BLM noting lawless behavior of BLM at Bundy Ranch and quotes violation of US Code....see FR thread.
Moooooh.
Et moh Chekin!
The rich and powerful are protected by this Administration.
If we do not stand up for farmers and ranchers...just what do we plan to eat ten years from now? Kudzu...yuk.
Which thread?
We will eat government raised food from huge government owned farms and the prices will be exorbitent...
Probably a loaf of bread will be $7.00...Can of beans will be $4.00... Fruits and raw vegetables will be unatainable at the stores open to the masses.
This sounds like the old USSR....but it will actually be the new USSA (United Soviet States of America)
>I still wonder why Cruz and Palin aren’t out there screaming to high heaven about Reid’s deal.<
.
That would be too seriously a charge — it almost sounds like high treason committed by the head senator. Don’t forget that politicians, when the chips are down, will protect each other.
Wait till more is known and Megan Kelly will expose it on the “Kelly Files” on Fox News.
That is, unless some politician or agency gets to her first.

Just because some politicians sold out the state of Nevada doesn’t mean the laws have changed. Expecting the federal Courts to surrender their power at this stage in the game is wishful thinking. When you have time watch the videos and see if they don’t change your mind on the subject.
“...it will prosper around all those solar panels, dontcha know??? sarc/”
As I understand it the Bundy ranch isn’t in the actual solar panel area, rather it is in the acreage these pagans meant to use as atonement to the earth goddess for killing all those turtles. This is supposed to make you and I and the grub worms feel better about electricity production.
We? Do you have a mouse in your pocket? I will either be eating my own veggies canned by my own hands or I will be living in the tropics on a fruit plantation....Oh by the way I am just being smart ar$$....I know, it’s awful isn’t it?
A stretch of largely vacant federal lands in Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado may hold more recoverable oil than all the rest of the world put together
The government owning all this land is socialism/communism . this land should be returned to private companies so that they can develop the vast oil resources
The federal government owns 86% of the land of Nevada . that is unconstitutional as this shows:

Nevada or individuals own that land not the federal government. that is pure marxism/socialism(fed owning all that land in Nevada and other states). the gov are using that land for environmentalism(communism/marxism) and corruption when private industry like that rancher Bundy, oil companies and others could be using it to produce oil , beef etc.
You wont be able to grow your own veggies without following the 1,947 government regulations that they will force you to follow to have your own little patch...
And I understand you were being a smarta—..*L*
I agree with Stockman but that doesn’t fulfill Congresses duty to extinguish all claims to public lands as called for in the Confederation Papers.
Food Safety Act of 2010....yep!
See comment #10.
Also, just because the Reids’ deal with the Chinese had the brakes put on it doesn’t mean it can’t or won’t get back underway asap.
Bundy has gone ‘round and ‘round in the ocurts over all this, and his argument at this point seems to be to challenge federal jurisdiction in the matter. Makes sense to me. Seems like the feds and speciasl interests have just been running roughshod over cattle ranchers there for quite some time.
LMAO!!!! Love it!!!
Someone on the article’s thread said that if the commies can somehow get Bundy’s cattle to be called “assault cows” by the media, it’ll be full-on lefty jihad against Bundy and supporters etc. lol
