Okay, but there were lands considered public and owned by the federal government at the time of the constitution.
So are you claiming that these lands actually belonged to the Bundy’s and not the government? And if so, on what basis?
No that is not the claim.
The claim is that the contract with BLM was broken by BLM not maintaining the land according to the grazing fee agreement, so Bundy maintained it and kept his grazing fee for doing so when the county would not let him pay the grazing fee to them.
The BLM premeditated to take his land because he wouldn’t sell, by not maintaining the land as agreed, like the other ranchers years ago. He was the hold out, and this was used to allow enough unpaid fees to add up, when the undone maintenance to get his land did not work.
And if you read comment #63 from Mad_a$_hell you will be able to understand the Nevada law, that BLM is well aware of, that if Bundy does not use those waterways he will lose his water rights which may cause his ranch to be unusable....giving the BLM an advantage to buy it like they always wanted.
This is so much more deception than many are able to comprehend, I believe. There are so many issues, but the desert tortoise is not one of them, it’s a ruse.
Here is the 1000 degrees acreage of solar panels, that damage birds regularly who fly over the So Nevada Solar Company at Dry Lake....imagine this damage which also includes the desert tortoise, and no one in government is up in arms there:
