Is Harry Reid Involved? Seven Answers to Seven Questions
The Blaze ^ | April 13, 2014 | Becket Adams

Posted on 04/13/2014 10:42:43 AM PDT by yoe

Government officials retreated Saturday from federal property in Gold Butte, Nev., leaving behind some 389 “trespass cattle” that had been impounded as the result of a decades-long dispute between a local rancher and the U.S. government.

But while the story has managed to capture the attention of thousands of Americans, it has also managed to confuse thousands more. Indeed, from questions regarding property rights to whether a Democratic senator was involved in the cattle roundup, many have been left wondering what it’s all about and searching for the facts.

[snip] Does Sen. Harry Reid have a connection to the Bureau of Land Management?

[snip] 6. Is Harry Reid working with the Chinese to force the Bundys out?

[snip] 5. So Who Owns the Land in Question?

"So you are for a US Senator taking any land for his personal advancement then?"

The BLM Law now comes from the mouth of Rustler Reid, so anything he does with BLM Land is now legal.

Nevada did not need to give the land to the US government. The US owned the land prior due to the treaty of Guadalupe Hildago. Constitutionally speaking, that treaty is the “law of the land” and is empowered by Article II section 2 of the Constitution.

As of yet, I do not see where Sen Reid has anything to do with Bundy refusing to pay his grazing fees that are authorized by a law that was passed before Sen Ried (or Bundy) was even born.

Yes I know that there is a lot of speculation about Ried’s involvement.

That is about the jist of it. The establishment cant give up power very willingly.

Sadly, we have those types on this site that support such.

So where in the map below (from your site) would the Bundy grazing lands be?

Who can we get to initiate legislation to exercise eminent domain and turn Reid’s land into a series of nuke plants?

Bundy Ranch is at least 150 miles north, but you have to remember this is Nevada, never really had population before and long distances. More interesting is that Bundy and Reid lands are along Colorado River basin and Lake Mead.

Reid land is mining claims he bought likely for $2 fifty cents an acre. No more (or less) right to it tan the Bundys in an historical sense.

Also, the highway going down the middle from top to bottom and recently expanded benefits Harry Reid greatly. I guarantee plan was to make this bedroom community with his shyster developer buddy Jim Rhodes (who gave illegal contributions to Reid and also built his house).

By the way, the area labeled Reid and Brown land is important because Brown is Harry’s bagman for collecting bribes. long history of this.

“eminent domain and turn Reid’s land into a series of nuke plants?”

Exactly, that’s why that map is important. Squeeze Reid till his head pops.

OK, thanks. I was wondering if the Bundy Grazing Lands would have somehow linked up the isolated Reid parcels or something.

Many thanx to you. I have been making this very case for so long with so many.
Fact is..this is a constitutional crisis in the happening. One which was brought to attention these past weeks.

It took so long to be brought.

his cell mate will the care of that.

I liked to see an independent investigator of members of congress getting rich in office. Start with Pelosi, Reid, and Feinstein.

Yes, his former senior advisor is the director of the Nevada BLM...

Ted Cruz...Mike Lee...

That’s about all we have with any kind of spine to bring the issue up on the floor...

I’m sure those two fellerz are getting an earful from their constituencies right now...

Expect their phone lines to be lit up tomorrow...

In 1934, Congress enacted the Taylor Grazing Act, giving the federal government the authority to regulate grazing on the public lands in an effort to improve rangeland conditions.

Looks to me like the Law above states that Public Lands are for grazing and USGovt regulate to improve that grazing.

i think it's linked to them in that the Bundy land is "Mitigating Land" to offset damage done by the solar farm...

The BLM also owns land within the County residential areas. We built a new church in 1995 on W. Spring Mountain and had to pay our “turtle tax” every year. They made us lease the land for 99 years, until this last year when, by the grace of God, He got them out of our hair and we were able to buy it. I get real happy when I know one day these crooks will stand before God.
