Readers of USA TODAY:

Some have asked why didn't my father pay the grazing fee. This can be understood in two ways. One is founded on preemptive rights and the other upon state rights or state sovereignty. When my family rolled into this country in the 1800's they began to tame the land and use it for survival, settling this land the same as the rest of the United States. Each family claimed their stake and developed the area. Others respected the area and understood as long as the family was using the resources or land it was the families to claim and share. When states were initiated into the union these rights or claims became more defined and further protected by state law as rights that could be sold traded or even borrowed against...

The people that held preemptive rights or grazing rights never got a actual deed to the land.

I didn't mean to imply it was an actual deed, but more that its a provision TO the deed, or as you said, an easement.

Thank you so much! God bless you. Looks like you got a good mark in the Book of Life. You are the only one who found this very important point that I have seen.

Again Federal private property is simple..

Camp David is Federally own private property ..

A military base like Fort Knox is Federally owned private property.

It is not going to ever form a State

and you as a citizen are not going to have access unless invited.

Vs Federal territory.

Guam is a territory own by the United States..

There is land there own by private citizens. .there is land own in private by the Federal, like military bases...

And there is public land and assets.. public road, beaches, water supplies, ect. held in common for the citizens common use..

Its own by the Federal because it a Federal territory but it is not privately own by the Federal..

else BLM could kick you off a public beach or road as if it was private property.

Its like the old story about German law..
...if it is not explicitly allowed its always forbid..

That how federal private property works..if your not explicitly allowed on a military base you are forbidden.

In contrast to the German law the American law was ...
if not explicitly forbidden, its always allowed.

That how public property works
Your allowed, its your right to use as a citizen and if your being denied its..the government, not you, need to justify why your being denied your common historical right you had before

Something caused 50 or so ranchers in Nevada to be put out of business. That is the real scandal. That is what needs investigating.

EXACTLY!

How many were targeted by the IRS, EPA, or other rogue agencies! The feds are clearly over stepping their authority. Time to start hanging these bastards!

.....I continue to be dazzled by the correctness of the writings from the Bundy’s both technically and subjectively and historically.

Good job Bundy’s!!!

Good post. Right on the mark.

Have a look here: reclaiming-federal-lands

Ms Fielder does well in pointing out the direction western states need to be taking. And, if hostilities can be held in abeyance long enough, I believe they will.

Are you referring to the pig in the White House, ole grunt and snort moochelle, who loves to graze on OUR dime?

The mooch will have the chance to pay her fees at trial time...

Thank you for posting that. I watched the Fielder video last night. Very informative. I’ll try to get to the other two videos tonight.
