That doesn’t change your ignorance, and willful blindness to the government overplaying its hand.

You know nothing about me.

Right now my family is fighting off the BLM from taking our land in California. They want it, they say, for a wildlife refuge, an argument that’s ridiculous.

They want it because it is part of large plat dotted with natural gas wells.

We’ve had inquiries about selling this land for going on 20 years. No one is willing to pay us what it is worth.

Now along comes the BLM claiming they want it for a refuge but the American Land Conservancy erred by sending us a letter telling us the BLM was going to make an offer. American Land Conservancy was the group that went into the Klamath Basin and bought up farms for pennies on the dollars twelve or so years ago, and later got into trouble in Nevada for land flips involving Sen. Harry Reid.

We believe Pacific Gas & Electric wants the land so as to store natural gas underground. They just don’t want to pay what the land is worth. Dirty dealings.

Oregon has abolished nuclear power and is working hard to abolish Boardman, the coal burning electric generating plant. Between the crazies in Oregon and BLM attacking ranchers, folks in Oregon and Washington will be starving while freezing in the dark.

Does that sound like I have “willful blindness to the government overplaying its hand”?

It is possible to out-think government bureaucracies. Look around the nation and see how other ranchers manage to survive without using Federal land to graze on part of the year. But don’t let this get to you. God gave you brains and imagination to find a way around this problem.
