The events in Nevada this week have made a number of things crystal clear:
1) Our government, at least at the upper management/executive service level, is incredibly corrupt.
2) Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), Senate Majority Misleader, is incredibly corrupt.
3) Obama’s Executive Branch, which allowed this situation to take place in the way that it did, is incredibly corrupt.
4) The judicial branch that has consistently allowed “environmentalists” to dictate public land policy is incredibly corrupt.
5) The “environmentalists” and their co-conspirators in Congress who foisted the so-called “Endangered Species Act” and numerous other extreme laws on us, and turned a blind eye to the above mentioned corruption, are incredibly corrupt.
6) The massive amount of “public land” controlled by the federal government in the West is anything but public.
7) If the United States of America is to survive as a single, sovereign nation, the states, and particularly the Western states, need to take back the land unconstitutionally ruled over by the federal government.
There is a movement among a handful of state legislators in the West to get the federal government to turn back the land they have taken over the years and “managed” with agencies like the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the USDA-Forest Service, the Corps of Engineers, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) (none of which appear to be authorized by the Constitution.) We need to aid and abet this movement as if our lives depend upon it. But, let me make clear here, that we are not talking about the middle and lower management and field personnel. The vast majority of these folks are hard-working Americans who give the taxpayers their money’s worth and more on a daily basis. It’s the executive level, the Washington bureaucrats, their political...

That's some really arid land out there, and the vegetation needs all the help it can get.
Talk about a breach of national security!
What federal actions actually effected such pledges, and what enabling programs, policies or legislature can you recommend for study of this issue?
But why doesn’t anybody address the corruption?
Or is corruption the whole basis of the system?
If so, are there any points of the system that are vulnerable, so it may be completely and irreversibly broken up?
“You can’t beat somebody with nobody”- so where is the man with a plan to, first, dismantle the existing structure, and second, substitute a more practical and reliable structure?
If you want a federal action, just take a look at what the federal entity is doing in the West, the Bundy case being one of the more egregious.
Concerning national security, when the whole thing blows, I would hope we'd see some serious treason trials, but the federal entity is holding a lot of firepower.
Sometimes I am a little slow on the uptake, but I see a pattern here. CORRUPTION in Biblical proportions :-)
it is my belief that this is why Ozero wants to kill the coal industry. china wants our coal
all we need is a leader with strength and vision and integrity and
I’ve done a fair amount of research on this today.
I don’t think it has anything to do with a Harry/Rory Reid Chinese Solar project. Maybe, a planned wind project, but not a solar project. The maps from the BLM simple don’t show a solar project for that area. There is however a wind project that may be involved.
BLM has a long effort to save and re-locate the desert tortoise.
But why did they need to round-up cattle ?
Why did they need to send in armed Rangers to round-up cattle ?
Why now and why there ?
The BLM’s “Desert Tortoise Conservation Center” talks about “receiving wild tortoises in harms way from development”.
http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/lvfo.html
On that same page is a link to “Current District Federal Register Notices”
Notice of Temporary Closure on Public Lands in the Gold Butte, Mormon Mesa, and Bunkerville Flats Areas in the Northeastern Portion of Clark County, NV
This “notice” was also “Notice of Intent to Impound Unauthorized Livestock” March 19 2014. This is the action that has since been cancelled.
My questions are;
Why does the BLM need to round-up “unauthorized” grazing livestock in order to save/relocate the desert tortoise?
Would “Authorized” grazing livestock been left to graze ?
Do “unauthorized” grazing livestock pose a greater threat than “authorized” grazing livestock?
What does unauthorized mean ?
Are they unauthorized because they haven’t paid their fees ?
If the Impounding of unauthorized grazing livestock had nothing to do with the Desert Tortoise, then why was this tortoise issue brought to our attention in the first place?
I think the BLM’s “Desert Tortoise Conservation Center”, which they themselves state on their website “is scheduled to close in December 2014 due to funding issues”, saw an opportunity to seize the private property of Mr. Bundy to either hold for ransom or later sell in order to fund their continuing operations.
I would be surprised if the cost to send armed Rangers on this misguided action came from their budget.
I totally agre with everything that guy says.
It's simpler than that, even. The tortoises love cow poop. The digestive system of cattle is not terribly efficient, so a lot of the nutrients from the grass is left behind, and the tortoises have been thriving on cow patties.
This zero-sum business of fewer cattle = more tortoises is, well, bullcrap.
But just try to tell that to a know-nothing enviroweenie.
Love's got nothing to do with it. The cattle droppings either fertilize the plants the tortoises feed upon, or the tortoises eat he manure as a dietary supplement.
>>Cows love tortoises and tortoises love cows. It’s an
unnatural love but who are we to judge or interfere? ;^)<<
My mother taught me to judge when I was just a lil fella and I got into trouble when I didn’t judge correctly. If my cows start doing anything unnatural with turtles or tortoises they are going to the auction house and they know it.
Well, good. If we have the right crew in D.C. that should make any attempted foreclosure somewhat problematic.
Makes sense. The tortoises evolved in a land where buffalo grazed periodically.
You’re kidding me!?! That can’t possibly be!!!
LOL
