Rory “Do you know who I am” Reid represents the Chinese Solar Panel company that wants the land.
And here’s ( in middle) the goods on the Reids. Seems THEY should be arrested!

Beck’s take on that was that the solar plant wasn’t anywhere near the Bundy ranch’s grazing area.
The real story is that the plant IS going in 100 miles away,
but they have to “make up for” the lost turtle habitat by taking Bundy’s grazing area.
So it IS the Chinese solar company and Rory Reid that are responsible for the land grab.
I now do actually affirm and believe this is the motivation. I have only done about 2.5 hours of research on this entire history of this. While it sounds like something out of a movie, all the pieces fit nicely for what is happening today. But the tortoise side of the issue is not relevant any more. Forgive me is some of the time frames are a bit off. As I mentioned, I am still researching this. Corrections are welcomed.
I encourage FReepers to thoroughly educate themselves on this (as most do anyway). But here is the skinny of it.
Some argue the Fed owns all land not previously purchased. This is not documented beyond treaties, agreements or ancient purchasing, sale and lease rights regarding individual citizens or the use of the land. In unmanaged territories/land, land is for public use. The Bundy's have been publicly using the land in question since before Nevada was even a state. There was no Federal involvement. 30 years ago, it seem,s the feds needed an excuse to collect fees and the desert tortoise found its way on an endangered species list. Whether the tortoise was actually even endangered was questionable back then. But we had just "saved" the bald eagle (or were well on our way). So what could it hurt. It was decided that cattle was bad for the habitat and somehow this could be mitigated by having cattle ranchers pay fees to let their herds graze. Sound familiar? Think carbon credits. Again, there was no evidence that suggested the relatively few cows in the large expanse of territory had any detrimental habitat to the endangered species. In fact, there was and is some research that proposes the opposite is true.
Originally, the Bundy's fought the ruling, lost and got a permit. With a nose under the tent, the fed started playing with fee structures. The Bundy's continued the fight and refused to pay along with some others. That was almost 30 years ago. Along the way, the fed did arrest someone as a token. Then the fed backed off and quietly continued a slow roll in court.
The issue got aggressive and picked up steam again a few years ago when the Harry's son got involved in an investment that needed the land for a solar farm. Harry pushed through some legislation to grease the skids. No mention of the tortoise during those proceedings. I wonder why.
The solution to this ordeal is to have the "endangered species" removed from the list. The grazing fees again have no purpose as the land is not managed otherwise.
Mmmmmm....methinks Rory and Harry are gonna be real sorry they are in bed w/ the Chi/Coms. It's gonna get v-e-r-y nasty, guys.

We don't need to steenken' AG Dummycrat ***-protector to get to the bottom of this.
Under the Bank Secrecy Act, passed by Congress, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes.
“The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.
==================================================
L/E needs to examine the Reid bank accounts used to finance the Solar Panel business.
NOTE WELL The "Bank Secrecy Act" was passed to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting criminal enterprises, money laundering, tax evasion, national security breaches, global terrorism, or other unlawful activities.
Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity that might be indicative of govt fraud, money laundering, embezzlement, tax evasion, and other financial crimes.
<><> Joint Reid bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer of funds offshore and/or into secret LLC accounts.
<><> To cover their tracks, fake invoices might be created to show that money deposited into other accounts was being used for legitimate purposes.
The scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments that actually covered the transfer of funds for business activities (or into campaign coffers).
<><> L/E is directed to get ahold of Reid's: (1) check copies, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including e-mail, contracts, loan agreements, and, (8) any other books or records.
L/E should also explore (a) monies Reid paid to brokers, sub-brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.
<><> L/E should scrutinize Reid bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.
<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to operate othe4r businesses. Bank fraud can also be facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intrabank transfers from secret accounts into personal accounts.
<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, or campaign contributions.
Nevada taxpayers, patriots, ranchers and Bundy supporters should demand the Bank Secrecy Act be used to prosecute bank fraud pronto.

ADDENDUM Govt monies facilitated by Harry Reid may have been allocated through budget items to finance the Solar Panel venture.
