>>A most interesting paragraph:
One thing that needs to be remembered here is that the BLM has been serving to provide collateral for foreign debt for decades. And now, it seems the foreign holders of those notes want more than just a piece of paper. They want access to the land they own.<<
I had forgotten about that side of the issue. I think that is that is keeping our dollar afloat at this moment.
Bundy on the radio said he was paying - or wanted to pay - grazing rights to the local government, not the BLM. But other information I heard I thought indicated that this is Bundy’s land. So wonder how the BLM got involved?
See post #22
Once they're in office, our elected leaders have no further need of the citizens.
WTH?!
Ranchers can pay grazing fees to use national forests and BLM lands. The fee is a little less than $1.50 per head per month there, if I remember correctly. But that’s probably not the real issue.

Compare that to the story that very few have wanted to talk about in political circles.

Long ago, I worked for a manufacturing company that paid a lease of $1 (per year?) on a large lot and large buildings in a large city. The local government there wanted the revenues.
Even many local, rural governments don’t want revenues from that kind of business any more, so they have zoning laws against any manufacturing, no matter how small (called “male” jobs by Democrats). They stick to trying to get federal funding, revenues from tourism, property taxes, etc. (called “women’s jobs” by Democrats). It’s not really about feminism, though. Along with the anti-family laws and policies, the regulations keep the riff-raff in flux and from rising to compete.
Still another reason to move the Govt out of DC. Keep them home so we can watch them. They don’t accomplish anything in DC they can’t do by Internet, except Party and take bribes.
Place keeper to read tomorrow.
