WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS--With the focus on the possible loss of property held for generations of ranchland owners in north Texas, others who might also be affected by the BLM’s Red River Land Grab could be overlooked. During a meeting with Texas State Senator Craig Estes (R-Wichita Falls), Breitbart Texas learned that land owned by the Northwest Texas Council of the Boy Scouts of America is also reportedly being targeted by the BLM land management study. Boy Scout Council President, Wayne Mansur, sat down with Breitbart Texas to explain what his organization and the young people he serves are facing.

It is TIME to DownSize DC! Close entire Rogue/Unconstitutional Departments including their SWAT Teams.
Barack Obama: “I can pretty much do whatever I want.”
When you look at 90,000 acres along the Red in Texas it will involve a lot of
different owners/users. 90,000 acres is just a tad over 140 sq. miles.
The BLM is looking at TX/OK/KS with the intent of having new policies in place by
2017. The potential exist for major changes as to how the land will be utililzed.

I must be missing something here. Does the BLM own the Red River bed?
If the river moves to the South, parts of Texas could be in Oklahoma, but still owned by ranchers in Texas, and if the river moves North, parts of Oklahoma could be in Texas and owned by ranchers in Oklahoma.
So where does the BLM come in on this? This sounds more like a state issue than a BLM issue.
And do it unilaterally, state by state. We need to demonstrate at our state capitals and demand that the EPA, NEA, OSHA, BLM, ATF, FBI, etc be removed from our states. Demand means just that, that we should say, “We will make this happen with without your approval.” Peaceful demonstrations you understand, but I don’t think there’s any reason to concern ourselves with popularity. After all, this isn’t a democracy. We’re subject to God, not the will of the masses.
As long as the BSA is sure to raise their new rainbow flag over the camp...they’ll be fine.
They claim the “waterways”.
Twisted legal logic.
All the property both sides of the Red River has deeds from statehood.
But BLM now claims it.
States are the federal government’s tax collectors. I was looking at a map of the Mississippi River and saw that parts of Arkansas were on the east and parts of Ms were on the west. I guess borders don’t move with the river.
Hedley Lamarr: Wait a minute... there might be legal precedent. Of course! Land-snatching!
[grabs a law book]
Hedley Lamarr: Land, land... “Land: see Snatch.”
[flips back several pages]
Hedley Lamarr: Ah, Haley vs. United States. Haley: 7, United States: nothing. You see, it can be done!
And supposedly, this was upheld in 1984 when the feds got the 140 acres.
These numbers, 90,000 acres and 136 linear miles of river, are scientific wild ass guesses(SWAG). Its a strip on land, undetermined at this point.
Did everyone know that when Barry got elected he cancelled the tradition of sending Eagle Scouts a letter of congrats? Sure it was an auto-pen signature but still. I have mine, Reagan was President.
Doesn’t surprise me in the least. He has absolute contempt for everything the BSA DID represent (until last year.)
I think Rick Perry and Craig Abbott are going to be a little harder to deal with than Mr. Bundy. LOL!
The 1984 (interesting year) case did not have Greg Abbott or Ted Cruz involved.
The Fed Gov is in Full Rogue mode. Long overdue cutting down to size defined in the Constitution.

The Constitution's reservation of navigable waterways was for purposes of guaranteeing free trade across and between States. That implies that all they truly control is the surface plus the draft depth, not the banks.
“Would you like some more beans there Mr. Taggart?”
Does the BSA still have a “marksmanship” badge???
;-)
Jus’ askin’...
The issue of navigable waterways has always been a historical booger-boo in Texas...Where the founders believed Texas would have a plethora of rivers to go up and down with commerce...It would son be found out that was not the case...
Yes, there are a few waterways, but compared to the total of rivers that “might” be able to support navigation by large commercial shipping, there are not that many...And those that are, are close to the coast...Not very far inland...
At least that is what I have heard over the years...
The Red River, is one of those types that are not good for commerce in the normal convention...
Not in that area up there between Oklahoma and Texas...
There is something else called “natural resources” that could be brought into play, and that means someone or something stands to make a lot of money with a deal utilizing the government to displace citizens from their land that has been in their families for generations up there...
And that IS their main play at this time...
The government will not make the same mistake it made in Nevada...they know the public, or at least we are, who pay attention, will be forming opposition groups and facing off with them directly...
What we need are lawyers who believe as we do and take it to the government in the courts...
This is all far from over...And where you see the BLM SWAT guys forming up, that’s where we need to be in our capacity...
Just remember, we cannot shoot first...We will have to take a bloody nose first and foremost, we ill win the court of public opinion at that point, and anyone with that effort that anoints themselves as a “leader”: of those forces had better be well-spoken, measure every single syllable, and not say anything that could, and will be actively sought to be used against our efforts by the complicit media that works with the government to obtain these goals...
Just my opinion...
I don’t know for sure, but I bet they do.
