BUNKERVILLE, Nevada (Reuters) - U.S. officials ended a stand-off with hundreds of armed protesters in the Nevada desert on Saturday, calling off the government's roundup of cattle it said were illegally grazing on federal land and giving about 300 animals back to the rancher who owned them.
The dispute less than 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas between rancher Cliven Bundy and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management had simmered for days. Bundy had stopped paying fees for grazing his cattle on the government land and officials said he had ignored court orders.
Anti-government groups, right-wing politicians and gun-rights activists camped around Bundy's ranch to support him in a standoff that tapped into long-simmering anger in Nevada and other Western states, where vast tracts of land are owned and governed by federal agencies.

Funny you mentioned DMV. When I went into renew my license, I noticed the people working there have Dept. of Homeland Security patches on their uniforms. I live in small town Tennessee.
************************
That’s really strange. Our DMV is run by the TX Dept. of Public Safety (DPS), which are same as State Troopers in other States, and AFAIK there’s no connection to the Feds. .....I have to get my license renewed in August, so I’ll check them out.
This is something that has been happening to rural and small town Americans while no one has been watching. I saw some of it in Northern Nevada when we lived there thirty years ago. No one was as hated as the BLM. They deserved it. Then we moved to Oregon and watched as the “spotted Owl” destroyed thousands of lives by shutting down the logging industry. The government is all about control.
Men with weapons change the calculus, every time.
Folks in DC are flabbergasted.
And they're both scared and unhappy.
Yes, I saw/heard the guy doing the live feed say “We broke this story” when he was being asked to move to the other side of the overpass. (The ranchers wanted everyone to be inconspicuous, and when he realized that he complied.)
I don't have a problem with the majority of the National Park System. I, too, enjoy visiting the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone and the amazing parks in Utah. But their intention now is to occupy and control these vast stretches of open space for the federal government, and that was never part of the original plan. If anyone questioned the true purpose of Agenda 21 before, they shouldn't anymore after this past week.
Okay,
betty Jane’s post #94 was a good hypothetical to study,,
WHY DELETED?
Everything these people say is a lie.

Blow up of the pic shows his tag says “police/ATF”. So no, it’s not real.
I did like the large shield patch: provides an excellent target, even better if they moved it a little lower and and a couple inches to the right.
But InfoWars gave FR credit for the Reid connection in the story linked in post 53.
Explain it to me.

No. Nice find. When was this published?
Page two showed it was for the purpose of rounding up cattle. The purpose was in there.
I saw almost identical (as in word-for-word) references on four websites which tried to divert blame for BLM operations in and around Gold Butte to oil companies involved in the Lease sale held in Reno for oil and gas Drilling Leases on BLM land in NE Nevada near Wells (300+ miles away).
Not only would that have diverted enmity from the Democrats who have the Solar deal going with the Chinese Company, but placed it on a traditionally Conservative industry while invoking the buzzword "fracking", which the Liberal media are trying to make out to be evil.
In short, either people are being useful idiots, or they are intentionally attempting to divert blame to traditionally Conservative sectors from the usual Liberal suspects.
I think the question is "How many cows are sick now, and rejoining the herd?"
Who, if anyone, checked 'em over?
Maybe people would take him more seriously if he had a last name that sounded more American.
Probably to keep the skies clear for the drone strikes. It would be mighty suspicious if there was a ‘gas explosion’ at the ranch...
It all falls in with Agenda 21, driving the humans into narrow corridors and cities.
