Red River Range War

Apr 10, 2014

What is it with the BLM this spring? Nevada rancher Clive Bundy's 30-year tussle with BLM came to head this week, and now the BLM has stepped into the middle of the Red River to void the deeds held by some farmers on land they've paid taxes on for decades. The Red River has long been considered the border between Texas and Oklahoma, but over time the river moves. The BLM wants to use a 30-year-old case they won against one Texas rancher as precedent to seize more land along a 116-mile stretch of the river. Property owners say they'll be forced to spend large sums of money in what could be a lengthy legal process. The dispute may involve 90,000 acres.

Its a chance to attack normal working Americans.

They must be destroyed for the ‘revolution’ to succeed.

‘Just part of a grander plan to control the food supply. First the EPA is persecuting people who have holding ponds on their land stating that they are not allowed to collect rainwater and now this

BLM, which oversees public land in the United States, claims this land never belonged to Texas.

Oh...so NOW...the land doesn't belong to Texas. Not a hundred years ago, not 75 years ago, not 50 years ago. But NOW.

These people are just BEGGING for another civil war. By God they just may get what they want.

They will lose.

Ruby Ridge Pt. III

Engineered to draw attention away from Obama’s long string of boondoggles and failures.

Obama may get pushed around by Putin but he will show the world the federal government can still push defenceless American Citizens around.

In order to for the powder keg to go off, someone has to light to fuse. They need to keep pushing till they reach that critical mass. People are slowing starting to wake up and openingly question government: Connecticut, New York, Nevada and now this makes its way into the open.

I seriously believe there is a purpose to this, and lines will need to be drawn in the sand.

Were they squating, like you know who said, defending the BLM on the Bundy attack?

Sounds like the BLM thinks so.

Sounds like the BLM is in the land taking business.

We should just merge all 57 states into one: 0bamaville.

I don’t get it. Even if the land is now Oklahoma and not Texas, why doesn’t he simply own land in Oklahoma? How does it suddenly become BLM land?

It doesn’t help matters that the author doesn’t know a thing about geology. Accretion is the opposite of erosion.

Same here. Seems like it would go to either the guy on one side of the river or the guy on the other side of the river....but somehow BLM thinks it goes to them. And a flippin' court AGREED with them in at least one case.

Which just goes to prove: the deck's stacked.

I wouldn’t think they’d want to divide their efforts, but on the other hand, they may be seeking to divide the response of the Oathkeepers, etc.

I don’t know how the court reached that verdict. Iowa has a little plot of land west of the Missouri River. The river moved east, but the Iowans didn’t, so it stayed part of Iowa.

And, iirc, the court told Kentucky that the Ohio shore of the Ohio River is Ohio even if the river does move.

What it does do is give the Fed what they think is “ownership” of the actual shoreline for 116 miles on one side or the other. Since water is the issue in dry times, they will control ACCESS to the water. You gotta go through what they see as their land to get to the water.

And, rest assured, since the movement of rivers is a geologic phenomenon that takes place everywhere, if they get away with it here, they will do it everywhere.

And suddenly access land to even get to water will belong to the Fed in all of America.

Rivers, creeks, streams, lakes, springs.

You name it.

Um, no. He ain’t pushing defenseless Texans around. We can defend ourselves. I guarantee it.
