So, under the management of a hand-picked Reid goon, the BLM goes all nuclear on a Nevada rancher? Wonder what interest Reid has in this operation?
Infowars people looked into that and it sounded like Reid and the Chicoms are in it up to their eyebrows. Sounded like they want to put windmills on that land.
I’m sure it’s not about turtles.
According to the latest, there are now over 200 agents of the government on the ground, surrounding his ranch.
Correction, it’s solar power not wind.
Reid’s SON. Me thinks. In tight with the ChiComs.

The Bureau of Land Management, whose director was Sen. Harry Reids (D-Nev.) former senior adviser, has purged documents from its web site stating that the agency wants Nevada rancher Cliven Bundys cattle off of the land his family has worked for over 140 years in order to make way for solar panel power stations.
The first segment of the document pulled by the feds from BLM.gov.

Deleted from BLM.gov but reposted for posterity by the Free Republic, the BLM document entitled Cattle Trespass Impacts directly states that Bundys cattle impacts solar development, more specifically the construction of utility-scale solar power generation facilities on public lands.
Non-Governmental Organizations have expressed concern that the regional mitigation strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone utilizes Gold Butte as the location for offsite mitigation for impacts from solar development, and that those restoration activities are not durable with the presence of trespass cattle, the document states.

Another BLM report entitled Regional Mitigation Strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone (BLM Technical Note 444) reveals that Bundys land in question is within the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone and surrounding area which is part of a broad U.S. Department of Energy program for Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States on land managed by BLM.
In 2012, the BLM and the U.S. Department of Energy published the Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States, the report reads. The Final Solar Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement assessed the impact of utility-scale solar energy development on public lands in the six southwestern states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah.

The Approved Resource Management Plan Amendments/Record of Decision (ROD) for Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States implemented a comprehensive solar energy program for public lands in those states and incorporated land use allocations and programmatic and SEZ-specific design features into land use plans in the six-state study area.
Back in 2012, the New American reported that Harry Reids son, Rory Reid, was the chief representative for a Chinese energy firm planning to build a $5-billion solar plant on public land in Laughlin, Nevada.
And journalist Marcus Stern with Reuters also reported that Sen. Reid was heavily involved in the deal as well.
[Reid] and his oldest son, Rory, are both involved in an effort by a Chinese energy giant, ENN Energy Group, to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel manufacturing plant in the southern Nevada desert, he wrote. Reid has been one of the projects most prominent advocates, helping recruit the company during a 2011 trip to China and applying his political muscle on behalf of the project in Nevada.
His son, a lawyer with a prominent Las Vegas firm that is representing ENN, helped it locate a 9,000-acre (3,600-hectare) desert site that it is buying well below appraised value from Clark County, where Rory Reid formerly chaired the county commission.
Although these reports are in plain view, the mainstream media has so far ignored this link.
The BLMs official reason for encircling the Bundy family with sniper teams and helicopters was to protect the endangered desert tortoise, which the agency has previously been killing in mass due to budget constraints.
A tortoise isnt the reason why BLM is harassing a 67 year-old rancher; they want his land, journalist Dana Loesch wrote. The tortoise wasnt of concern when [U.S. Senator] Harry Reid worked with BLM to literally change the boundaries of the tortoises habitat to accommodate the development of his top donor, Harvey Whittemore.
Reid is accused of using the new BLM chief as a puppet to control Nevada land (already over 84% of which is owned by the federal government) and pay back special interests, she added. BLM has proven that theyve a situational concern for the desert tortoise as theyve had no problem waiving their rules concerning wind or solar power development. Clearly these developments have vastly affected a tortoise habitat more than a century-old, quasi-homesteading grazing area.
If only Clive Bundy were a big Reid donor.
Update: The Drudge Report, the #1 news aggregate site in the world, has now picked up this story. Unfortunately for the BLM, the documents they wanted to delete are now exposed for the world to see.

Wonder what interest Reid has in this operation?”
Also mentioned was the fact that this area may produce a lot of oil. Kick the private owners off, the Federal government takes over the land and all the income and taxes from royalties would go to government (officials). Maybe Dirty Harry or his son will be “managing” it in return for a “reasonable” fee.
Anybody with any level of intelligence could discern that Reid is involved in this in some way.
Follow the money..Reid has an big money interest somewhere in this..
