This is a heartening and critically important story. But it is also not over. God bless and keep these folks...they will continue to need help and protection.

[Jeff Head]

PING to you all.

By all you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand men of the west.

This is a nice thread Jeff. How long did it take to assemble everything?

[Democrat_media]

I wish I had the time and courage to join the militias against the evil democrat/obama government. Heck maybe I’ll find the time and courage.

where in the Constitution does it say the federal government can can own most of the land in Nevada or that unelected government agencies can have armies or oppress citizens with these armies? where? show me the clause.NO where

this is unconstitutional socialism/marxism and tyranny in a once free country

I wish I had the time and courage to join the militias supporting Bundy, who are against the evil democrat/obama government. Heck maybe I’ll find the time and courage.

I support mr Bundy. He is the hero, the patrick Henry of our time fighting the evil federal government for his property rights and freedom.

where are our conservative leaders coming out in support of mr Bundy and the militias? I haven't heard Rush say much on this. Beck criticized the militias. Hannity and Drudge DID talk about it and for that I applaud them. Palin, Coulter , Levin ,Savage et al have any of them said anything ?

But, But, this cant be! Glenn Beck says so.

Thank you, Jeff. I’ve bookmarked this thread.

If they had attempted to physcally arrest or stop those protestors, violence would have ensued and a lot of people would have been injured or died...including, in all likelihood all of those federal officers.

Pretty good assessment from what saw on videos.

Good editorial and good research Jeff....I am almost done with it.

In 2001, I personally stood with friends and farmers in the Klamath Basin of Southwest Oregon during a similar event and confrontation.

I remember when you did that. I was hoping you'd chime in on this subject. And boy did you ever!

Thanks Jeff. Looking at that map, I would have to conclude that Nevada and Utah are not really sovereign states, but simply territories.

I agree that the National Government has no business owning a large chunk of a large state. The specific instances in which the National Government can own real estate within the several states are specifically enumerated in the Constitution and further confirmed in the 10th Amendment.

The Federal Ownership of state land makes the state literally a subject of the other states rather than an independent sovereign state.

Effectively the actual state of Nevada is owned by people in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York and all the other states where there is little if any Federal Land ownership.

These states need to assert their sovereignty and kick the Feds out and reclaim the land for their states.

Thanks again for this great post!

Good read, thanks for putting it together.

[Democrat_media]

I support Mr Bundy and all the freedom fighters who went there to risk their lives to hold off the evil Obama/Reid federal government. I will try to find the courage to join them

[editor-surveyor]

Info ping.

[dragnet2]

As a side issue, I find it a bit disturbing and extremely questionable if this is all about money and failure to pay cow feed fees, why would the government spend 25++ million in tax dollars, to conduct this massive operation against Bundy who allegedly owes 1 million?

[Timber Rattler]

Well done, Jeff! Thank you for all the hard work in piecing this history together.

Brilliant of the democrats to SEE... America has largely become apathetic..
Spurring them on to capitalize on the apathy.........

If “the sheep” do not revolt(stampede).... they deserve what they get..
Even the voting system has been penetrated.. Tammy Hall on crack..

The term “VOTE THEM OUT”.... has become laughing stock....
You can vote BUT the end results are scripted.. pre-election..

PROOF: Myth Romney (a known democrat collaborator) chosen at the REPUBLICAN PRIMARY...
Course the 110% and 150%(2012) turnout in some districts is further proof..

American citizens are being farmed like a Pig Farm...
Don’t believe it?.... Well you will soon Porky..

Thanks Jeff.

What I don't understand is the Desert Tortoise being endangered by cattle on a wide open desert. I can understand putting these turtles in a small coral full of cattle, as they could be trample to death, but this apparently is not the case. Somebody is making excuses and lying.
