I never thought much about federal land out west and really didn't realize how significant it was. Here's a map of the US public owned lands:

.....and here's a map of lands held by the National Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Mangagment:

“China wants real assets for their ever-depreciating dollars, and they want more than just gold. This is why they’re buying ports, farm land, mines and land for industrial development. That land has to be handed to them via the eminent domain process.”
And if we refuse to give them land as collateral, what will the ChiComms do? China, for all its manufacturing, is still an emerging economy. (India will be the No. 1 economy in Asia by 2030 because of demographics.) The ChiComms don’t have the logistical means to attack America. Further, the entire country is being held together by commie duct tape and spitballs.
Most are not following the labor situation in China, but I can tell you that the laborers in the factories are really, really pissed. One wrong step by the ChiComm crony capitalists and the whole country will blow up in their faces.
The ChiComm private equity funds have collapsed. Asian private equity is moving away from China in favor of other emerging economies in SE Asia and India. The central bank is dumping the yuan for hard assets like gold.
I’m interested in your take.
This would not have occurred if that MORMON fella had gotten elected.
Oh; wait...
HArry Reid is a Mormon...
Never mind.
the ends justify the means? Could not the state or county make the same accommodation?
Bundy needs to give a bumper sticker for a couple dollars contribution to his fees and legal expenses. Something like “I STAND WITH BUNDY”
Bet he’d have all his needs met in no time
Mitt Romney: Barack Obama’s Clone.
I am glad he didn’t win — I can imagine how things could be worse-off if he had.
Bet it was a very MOOOOOving experience
Had one of those a few years ago: hit the bulls eye cause I udderly couldn’t steer clear. Went to the ER my Drs name was Mark Mannship
All True!
“Mitt Romney: Barack Obama’s Clone.

Well, for one thing, I don’t think Romney would have sent 50 IQ BLM apes to attack a Mormon in Nevada. I could be wrong about that, but I don’t think so.
To all of those “copy and paste” scholars here who have argued this issue with me... Time to get on the right side and join the fight.
Ah ha. That sums it all up IMHO.
I had never realized it before, either. That map of Nevada is just about solid red. How can that be for a state that's been part of the union for about 150- years?
Be good to have you ponder the study at the link, digest, and comment. The article's bottom line to me is that the longer the Fed holds land, the less defensible becomes their holding. What do you think?
thx for posting. that is great stuff. next series Income tax: how the supreme court redefined the word income so that today we think our wages gained in exchange of our time and labor are labeled income. another series on “right to travel” why you don’t need a license to exercise your God given right to travel in a personal conveyance! not a vehicle. And there is no concept of “States Rights” states don’t have rights only people. Sates have delegated powers to protect our rights. all of them endowed by my creator! I’m thinking a great part of our political corruption in washington is going to be fought here. just by looking at the map.
He could have done something far, far worse: issue ObamaCare 'waivers' to the States.
If that happened, there would be a LOT of power attracted to the executive, in the form of:
Nice State you have there — you're going to vote the way I tell you, or you'll lose your ObamaCare exemption.
Thanks, will have to read that in depth. I have about 70 open windows on this stuff, but I’n chunking through.
I do real estate, among other things, in Nevada. Reid has unwittingly opened up a can of worms regarding how he acquired his own 200 acres in Searchlight (mining patents bought likely in 1973 at $2.50 an acre under 1872 mining law). I covered as much as I could here and in my book:
http://www.futurnamics.com/reid_bundyranch.php
But I suspect a crafty land attorney could rip Harry a new one if he looked deeper. I see a broken chain of ownership on Reid’s house parcel that raises eyebrows. Can go into latter.
I’ll read it.
Would the land attorney have to be from NV?
Maybe there’s a freeper that can help!
(The "Junction" was just a gas station when I was there in '63.
The fella that picked up this scrawny Hoosier said I was lucky he came along, as only about 4-5 vehicles a day came along the highway...
No, it can be any attorney familiar with federal land and BLM land use. Mining and Grazing rights, but also general deed transfers.
Here’s one thing that popped out. The Reid homestead and mine lot was owned shortly by one of his aids, breaking the chain of Reid family ownership. What’s up with that?
More than likely held in trust so Reid wouldn’t have to lie about his assets or to keep it safe from being impounded during a lawsuit. Has he or his family ever been sued for large sums of money or investigated for money laundering. The use of real estate sales to pass large sums of money is common.
There are some reporters who have investigated. The FBI has a report hidden from 1982. Also a current bribe investigation in Utah that I think I can help turn very ugly indeed.
