The Feds aren’t done with Bundy.

People with that kind of government power and that kind of firepower champ at the bit for a chance to use it all.

What the Feds didn’t get done in the light of day while on camera they will get done in less visible ways.

This is the sort of thing that will make rural America a fertile ground for recruiting by an al-Qaeda type of group.

The feds are not going to become less tyrannical. Just the opposite. History has shown that when tyrants are challenged by the “serfs” they double down. Agreed. This battle was won, but not the war. Right now, this is being dissected in such a way as to figure out how to stop people from showing this kind of resistance against the government. I'm sure that all those who participated, not just the Bundy family will be studied for weaknesses. They'll also see to that there will be a total media blackout, or at least favorable media spin next time. The government will be back.

I certainly wish you were right, “hopefully the feds are starting to realize that there are a hell of a lot of Americans who will “go to the mat” to be free.”

But I don’t think so.

The Feds were using the Bundy’s to double down and ratchet up to the next level of force. FedZilla was trying to use the Bundy’s as THE example. The FedCoats were all over there. FedCoats will be back. Don’t mess with FedZilla, they have the guns, they have authority, they are FedCoats. This is the message that they wanted to send.

Check out this thread.

There are reports, unconfirmed at this time, that the BLM PAID CONTRACTORS $996,000.00 (just shy of 1 MILLION bucks) to round up, remove and/or kill the Bundy cattle from the land.

The amount of money that the BLM claims the Bundy’s owe to the US Government are at maximum $ 1 million.

If this is the case, it seriously undermines the BLM position that this is about protecting Tortoises of collecting back fines.

At any rate, the footage shows that the BLM is totally out of control of it's para military trained rangers who were poised to start firing on their fellow Americans for the most flimsy of reasons.

It is also scary when a well connected (to Harry Reid) government official says that law abiding American citizens who have traveled to exercise they First Amendment rights and to petition their Government to address a grievance should be told that they be prepared for their funerals.

This event suggests that the Federal Government and the BLM came to Nevada looking for trouble and were seriously instigating a deadly confrontation with American citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

While I am sympathetic to fact the BLM Rangers are responsible for investigating illegal pot farms on BLM lands and have to deal with highly armed, violent Drug Cartel members and may have a need for weapons to protect themselves, the footage here shows that these people seriously exceeded their authority and their mandate for land management with this para military operation against honest and innocent Americans.

This event goes way past even legitimate law enforcement procedures and SWAT tactics against hardened criminals The BLM Brown Shirts were outfitted for war against their fellow Americans and were obviously more than willing and at the very edge of opening fire. They had an entire ridgeline of snipers deployed agains non violent protesters for gosh sakes.

Things have deteriorated to the point I no longer recognize this country as the one I grew up in or even lived in a few short years ago.

America has indeed been fundamentally changed and it is change we will come to regret

I saw this live last night - thanks for the video! What a story! Cattlegate needs to get investigated at the highest levels.

This Tom Hinchey person seems to think it was going to be the thousands of militia that were going to be massacred. Huh.

Hey Tom, there were dozens of supporters inside the ranch when your big government friends showed up, and cut them off. That’s when they realized they were surrounded by a crapload of hundreds/thousands more supporters, all armed. Who’s blood was spared?

And I pray to God that they DON’T follow that same template.

Pray for the best but expect the worst. They will do as I predict.

But hopefully the feds are starting to realize that there are a hell of a lot of Americans who will “go to the mat” to be free.

That's just it. Realizing that will not have what you and I consider the logical effect. They will see the answer as more repression, the iron boot.
"Those worthless, ungrateful turds (you and me), we have to put them back in their place or it will just get worse."
That my friend is how they think, and what they will do.

That has changed. BLM now says it's in excess of $500 Million. Fines.

If more people would stand up against Obamunism like this, maybe things could change.

The whole Federal government is getting increasingly bad with math, I notice, whether it’s dollars or statistics.
