BEHIND ENEMY LINES: Hi-Res Images of BLM War Zone Exposes Fed’s Military Fiasco at Bundy Ranch
21st Century Wire ^ | April 14, 2014 | 21wire

New images of cattle rancher Cliven Bundy’s tense standoff with the Federal Bureau of Land Mangement (BLM) on Saturday afternoon reveal how the armed agency’s military operation configured to forcefully engage Bundy cowboys and their supporters who sought to liberate federally confiscated cattle over the weekend.

These exclusive images were taken by a GMN photographer positioned right above the action on the Southbound side of Interstate 15 near Bunkerville, Nevada.

Despite the BLM being instructed to leave the Bundy Ranch and Gold Butte area earlier that morning, the agency still insisted had a legal right to be there and that it would not let go of hundreds of cows it had already taken away from the Bundy Family. Critics are asking if that ‘legal right’ also includes stationing a federal military force in Bunkerville.

Prior to this standoff, the special agent in charge of BLM’s ground operations, Daniel P. Love, had issued a warning that any one who crosses the federal line in order to free the seized cattle – will be arrested. Love went on boasting his agency’s advantage over Bundy supporters when saying, “I’ve seen your numbers right now, you’d better hope that 10,000 show up.”

It turns out that protesters needed far less numbers to overcome Love’s federal army. In the end, a Bundy’s contingent of 150 cowboys on horseback and a few hundred of peaceful supporters – backed by a well-organised volunteer militia, all together, proceed to march past the BLM’s line of demarcation to the entrance of cattle holding area, prompting the platoon of armed federal tactical teams to stand down and fall back.

This is the first collection in a three part series, showing the federal government’s military build-up to Saturday’s climax under US Interstate 15…

Rory Reid was the person who went to China to broker this deal about stealing the land to rent to the Chinese for a solar array. The fact that there is an aquifer under it that Scummy Harry wants is the bonus. He wants to control ALL the water in Nevada. Other counties can attest to his ownership and how he browbeat them to get it.

Somewhere, during the last year, I read on the Interwebs that Obambi has allowed Russian paramilitary to come to the US and “train.”

I think this is the training...

Mr Budvis had it coming, a long time . At first we tried to cajole him into getting his act together, then we just grew weary of his repeated trolling posts.

So long, Mr Budvis...enjoy your ride on the SuperZot!!

That's another thing that bothers me. Those green uniforms are all but unmarked.

They are all trained at Quantico and they never have any markings.

These Government piles of excrement understand they will get what is coming to them and since they are cowards of the highest order (they will gladly murder unarmed or under-armed citizens but turn tail if met by equal force) they do not want to be identified as they might get their butts kicked. They are traitors to the United States of America in the fullest sense of the word and are no better than the Stasi.

Thanx! I was wondering what you meant by the "bottom half".

Looks like President Simba owes Putin 20 bucks...

An example must be made, and Cliven Bundy is 'it'.

It may well be that the Brave BLM Companions end up on the losing side of "Cowboys and Nazis"...

So let’s just dispense with formalities and call ALL of them STASI. If they act like Stasi, they should be treated like Stasi.

RESISTANCE!!! I WILL NOT COMPLY!
