Sorry but you are wrong my friend. Alex Jones broke the story, covered the story, interviewed the owner on his radio show, did live coverage of the entire standoff from start to finish. What is the deal with all you Jones bashers anyways? Are you afraid to finally admit that all those nut job conspiracy theories might actually be true?

Awesome, none of the dogs bit anyone, so they’re not attack dogs. I guess even though there’s video of them lunging at free citizens, they were probably there to sniff for drugs.

We’ve determined that every single cattle has been returned, and we assume the dead ones, that can actually be accounted for, will be paid for. I appreciate your response, because at least now I understand your point of view.

I hope my cynicism is misplaced. I hope you’re right about our masters at the federal government retreating, but I find it terribly hard to believe.

They’re all around us. For them to retreat is to move back into our counties, our forests, and our neighborhoods.

Government Thugs at work. This time they may not have succeeded but this doesn’t mean that there isn’t going to be a next time. Just remember the road to hell is paved with good intentions. And each and every time a good portion of the gullible and ignorant public falls for it hook line and sinker and votes the same crooks back in to office. Just amazing!

I don't think so, scooter.

The current Acting Deputy Director (Programs and Policy) of the BLM was a lackey of Harry Reid.

And by the way...isn’t this Harry Reid story what you would call a government conspiracy?
How many government conspiracies does it take before you become a nut job conspiracy theorist?

More like severe corruption.
And nothing like Jones claims that 9/11 was an inside job.

I absolutely agree. The Harry Reid connection must be rock solid and highly embarrassing to the Democrats.

When the scandal gets too big for the media to spin for them, they just turn tail and tell the media to shut up about the whole thing, like it never happened.

The media response - "What land grab? Did you hear about the new summer of shark attacks? Killer bees? El Nino? The gay Republican congressman who ran on family values? The new American Idol? Rising seas? ..."

My brother grazes cattle in Nevada. He has, of necessity, become very knowledgeable on Nevada grazing law.
Here is what he tells me about this case that I haven’t heard or read anywhere else:...
**************************************
Thanks for posting that info, GilesB! It adds to what I read several days ago, wherein the BLM fees were to help mantain the roads, waters and fences. ...Seems the BLM stopped doing that around 1994, so Bundy has spent his own money to do so and stopped paying the BLM. The BLM broke the contract.

“I hope my cynicism is misplaced. I hope you’re right about our masters at the federal government retreating, but I find it terribly hard to believe.”

I agree with your cynicism as a general observation relative to our government. I just thought that in this instance the BLM was told by the “higher ups,” to pack it in and they did. No telling what they may do in the future, but right now the “optics” of a “Waco” probably don’t appeal to FUBO and the RATs with the mid-terms coming in six months. What really disturbs me is that when the GOP has had all the marbles, they haven’t done anything substantive about the egregious amount of “federal land.” I just read a stat that says that the Feds “own” 28% of the land in the country, with most of it our here in the Western States. They own almost half of California, 82% of Nevada, and 66% of Utah! BS, and the bureaucrats think it’s “their land,” not the people’s.

The dog lunged at Ammon Bundy, who kicked it in the head. When he did that, the rangers tazed him three different times, once in the arm or hand, once in the chest and the third time in the neck. He took each hit like a boss, pulling the wires out each time and remaining on his feet. Either the ranger doesn’t know how to use his equipment, the taser wasn’t fully charged, or Ammon Bundy is just a freaking stud.

I'm finding earlier stuff too on April 10th by Ray76 and Paladin2. See this post on April 10, 2:17 PM Mountain time.

See Ray76's posts from that one until now for loads more detail.

It's a debate about what "agents" of the BLM can do and what powers they have over us serfs.

Meanwhile the applicants for utility scale solar projects are stacked up at the BLM offices - one of them at a Nevada ranch.

Go to this page from InfoWars and scroll down to where it says the document was disappeared from the Reid website but was reposted by Free Republic. If InfoWars broke the Harry Reid story, don't you think that they would have reposted the document, not FR?
