It was a tense standoff in rural Nevada with armed protesters closing I-15 for a while and facing off against even more heavily-armed federal agents.
For now, that volatile Bundy Ranch confrontation has been defused. But it's not over by any means. And we may well experience others that do not pause in non-violence.
These are profound disputes illustrative of abiding suspicions among average Americans and their government headed by a man who promised to bring people together but didn't. And it comes in an uncertain economic time when so many have given up big dreams to just keep what they have.
The specific Nevada dispute, such as it is, has been simmering for 21 years between a Mormon cattle rancher named Cliven Bundy and the Bureau of Land Management, better-known in the West as BLMM, the Bureau of Land Mis-Management.
But the far larger issue, most intense in the West, involves a mounting distrust and suspicion of all things federal -- Congress, the bureaucracy and especially an aloof president. His perceived interests are inserting an over-reaching government into the lives of every American for their own good from closing coal mines and rewriting restaurant menus to seizing private property and regulating cow farts.....

I don’t know if it is a good comparison, but remember the Rodney King riots. Please don’t flame me. :)
King was guilty of traffic violations and resisting arrest. People believed that the authorities acted abusively and unfairly. And the police officers were acquitted. People rioted.
Important point: the riots might have started out of frustration and anger but then ended up being a free for all. An opportunity to steal and commit violence.
I guess my point is that if people believe that there is an injustice, the original offense and possible law breaking is irrelevant.
Unless Washington is cleaned out America is finished. Just look at the heavily military arm of King Obama and maybe one might listen to what I have been predicting. Civil War and hundreds of thousands murdered by a corrupt communists Government made up of all parties.
Looks like the Chinese know who to make a deal with the democrats appear a lot like Godfathers.
Clinton’s deal Obama carries thru with Hillary’s help.
Good synopsis here: (Freepers are finding more , the more we look-— it’s not just about one rancher and a few cows)
Feds grant eminent domain as collateral to China for US debts.

FEDS GRANT EMINENT DOMAIN AS COLLATERAL TO CHINA FOR U.S. DEBTS!
Beijing, China Sources at the United States Embassy in Beijing China have just CONFIRMED to me that the United States of America has tendered to China a written agreement which grants to the Peoples Republic of China, an option to exercise Eminent Domain within the USA, as collateral for Chinas continued purchase of US Treasury Notes and existing US Currency reserves!
The written agreement was brought to Beijing by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and was formalized and agreed-to during her recent trip to China.
This means that in the event the US Government defaults on its financial obligations to China, the Communist Government of China would be permitted to physically take inside the USA land, buildings, factories, perhaps even entire cities - to satisfy the financial obligations of the US government.
Put simply, the feds have now actually mortgaged the physical land and property of all citizens and businesses in the United States. They have given to a foreign power, their Constitutional power to take all of our property, as actual collateral for continued Chinese funding of US deficit spending and the continued carrying of US national debt.
This is an unimaginable betrayal of every man, woman and child in the USA. An outrage worthy of violent overthrow.
I am endeavoring to obtain images or copies of the actual document but in the interim, several different sources both in the US and in China have CONFIRMED this to me.
More details as they become available. . . . . spread the word ASAP.

Hash-mark Harry has telegraphed the gov’t response to the standoff. Sometime soon citizens involved in the standoff will be dragged from their cars and homes. Count on it. This is an official, made on the Internet, prediction.
The written agreement was brought to Beijing by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and was formalized and agreed-to during her recent trip to China.
Wonder how many other deals have been made under the table Obama&Co debt appears more like a plan fro the get go danger is at hand.
No wonder D.C. is in such a hush mode something about happen?.
That's gonna leave a mark. I might point out as well that another feller somewhat behind to the government, Timothy Geithner, ended up as no less than the Secretary of the Treasury. I don't recall armed federal agents coming to his door unless they were bodyguards.
So yes, quite a bit more going on here than cows. As the author points out, the entire theme of the 0bama administration is how he and his progressive allies were going to "transform" the country whether the citizens in it liked it or not. They weren't kidding, and they're willing to threaten deadly force to accomplish it. These people never intended to represent, nor even to govern, they intended to rule and have acted the part. The only part of this affair that might be marginalized as being only about grazing cows is the mildness of the blowback. That was nothing. And I get no sense at all that the federal government is aware that the conditions that brought armed protesters to a small community in the middle of nowhere are highly likely to recur if the overbearing weight of federal regulation and enforcement continues to beat down on progressive class enemies. "This isn't over," says the crook named Harry Reid. He's right about that.
These government punks with badges remind me of the kraut goons of WWII. Their dress, their demeanor and their tactics. Why the hell does the BLM, social security, US postal service etc... need armed killer/intimidation goon squads?
I listened to a recording of one of the BLM goons this morning telling a protester that he was there defending the 1st Amendment and the Constitution. Really which Constitution and 1st Amendment do you speak of because the US Constitution and the 1st Amendment do not regulate it citizens to goon approved, little 25 ft. areas miles away from where the goons are doing their dirty work and these little 25 ft. areas patrolled by armed goon squads with their attack dogs mr. BLM goon.

That is language more associated with a king, not a president. We are fast getting used to a barely limited executive. Kings can be noble, dictators cannot.

Here's one that shows why the Sheriff of Clark County is duty bound to keep the BLM and all Federal agents from arresting Cliven Bundy.

Get the word out. Email links to as many as you can and send to all the conservative radio people etc
I get that part of this is that he owes the government money.
Could it be any more than Michelle spent on any of her many $$multi million vacations?
Maybe they should just cut her off and give this guy some slack for not wanting his money to go to the wrong places.
Then it will get really ugly.
I would even hope to see the same happen to the tyrants.
Then all bets are off.
People are very angry and showing up armed and ready.
They need to go after the head of the snake next time.
Oh, and any POTUS cannot do what is charged without Congressional action.
I'm certain that there's AT LEAST ONE Senator or Congressman who would blow the whistle if it were ever proposed.
If the Chinese took the word of Hillary and Obama without public congressional action, too bad for them. They just got suckered and defrauded.
"On all these issues, but particularly missile defence, this can be solved," Mr Obama said. "But it's important for him to give me space.
"This is my last election," Mr Obama went on. "After my election I have more flexibility."
"I understand," Mr Medvedev responded. "I will transmit this information to Vladimir."
Anyone else notice how it is only under Democrat presidents that citizens are threatened by armed government officials?
