I doubt there is some great conspiracy afoot between the BLM and oil leases, but what they are doing to the Bundys is beyond the pale.
Both sides have made some miscalculations and unless they can arrive at some reasonable accomadation, it could get really hairy down there.
The BLM will push this to the limit. The Bundys won’t back down.
Check our line at #22 and my reply...eye opening on Southern Nevada and the future of taxpayer dollars.
We get the government we deserve, and we deserve what we tolerate. Bundy seems to be done tolerating what the rest of us have put up with.
I doubt he paid his lease after his permit was denied, due to the tortoise.
Interesting how the Feds voted themselves control of state lands. The states need to start evicting the blm, EPA, NSF, ect.
“it could get really hairy down there.”
I don’t think anything would get him down there.
My brother lives in Nevada and we talked about this story yesterday. He said more and more people are showing up and things are really starting to get out of hand. Protestors are ANGRY.... very very very ANGRY types who are sick of the feds and their BS land grabs. The situation is likely going to escalate into a full blown killing spree.
If the Gov had any balls he would order State Police to begin “training exercises” in that area, cut off BLM’s access, not let anyone in, and see how long they last in the hot desert sun with no resupply of food or water.
