CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — A natural resource manager who grew up in Elko has been named director of the Bureau of Land Management.

The U.S. Senate voted 71-28 on Tuesday to confirm the appointment of Neil Kornze to the post.

Kornze was raised in Elko and is a former senior adviser to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. He joined the BLM in 2011 and has been leading the agency as principal deputy director for the past year.

I’ll never understand the mindset of someone who’ll act as a jackboot so some dickhead (pardon my language) at a desk can get an “attaboy” by some rich and priviledged Senator. It takes a special confluence of stupid and mean, I suppose.

********************

It is easy for me to understand, but then I am very familiar with criminals and criminal thinking.

Don’t think of these janissaries as cops. Don’t think military. Don’t think bureaucrats, although they have some involvement in all these areas.

Think militarized criminals. Sturm Abteilung. Chekists. Torturers and executioners. Those are their kindred spirits.

Such people are physically healthy sadistic sociopaths. Not to be vulgar, but they get off to this. The domination, intimidation and brutalizing of those who are weak or isolated from support excites them, and gives them a rush of power. Everyone has encountered someone like this. A cop, a teacher, a boss, a customer, some punk hall monitor in grade school. You’ve encountered them all your life. These are just specialized. Essentially, they are sanctioned bullyboys, although increasing numbers are female.

This is to them what ‘working with children’ is to a pedophile. License to brutalize, to terrify, to kill. As controls slip, or greater license is granted, to rob and to rape as well. WITH NO CONSEQUENCES.

That is what these agents are. They are not necessarily stupid. What they are is submissive to their superiors, sadistic and often cowardly. One on one, without gear, backup or advantage - they would feign goodwill and candor.

If any Americans are killed because of this, Reed and his boy should be charged with murder.

Infowars people looked into that and it sounded like Reid and the Chicoms are in it up to their eyebrows

A lot of people think Alex Jones is a kook. And sometimes he is out there. However, he does have the guts to go after these people and expose them for what they are. Unlike the lame stream media.

If it’s true that Harry Reid’s son is representing the Chinese solar panel company, this is essentially highly armed mass-robbery committed by a government official for his personal benefit.

According to Whitepages.com there is a

Neil Kornze who lives at

1835 Van Ness Ave
Reno, NV 89503-1343

It’s high time some of his neighbors pay him a friendly visit.

And Obama is politicizing and militarizing these federal agencies as fast as he possibly can.

Now we see why all of O's agencies have been stockpiling ammunition...

livius :" If it’s true that Harry Reid’s son is representing the Chinese solar panel company, this is essentially

Sold for $4.5 million when it was assessed at $38.6 million
So the land sold for 15 % of it's assessed value ~ go figure the Reid is involved !!
