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.

How many cows died at the hands of the BLM and are they going to pay for them —
Test, test, 1-2-3, Test, test. Can you hear me? Test, test.
'Tis true. People are being tracked. Dossiers are being filled. Plans are being made. This is just round one.
Thew face of the new Redcoat!
There is no mention of Harry Reid and his wanting to clear the land of cattle so that he and his son can proceed with plans for building a solar plant with the Chinese. In that regard the article is far from being complete.
Can't but agree, especially with a collectivist like Obama in the WH. We may have won this battle but it will probably reoccur, either at the Bundy ranch or elsewhere. One of these times, however, it will not end so peaceably.
“posse comitatus? What’s that”?
The Federal government never retreats. Anyone who thinks they are through with this is an idiot.

No. They will wait for the turbulence to subside and the people to disperse. Then they will trounce this family like a beast from Daniel.
It's apparent the patriots in the Mountain West are pretty close to prepared.
In DC they're thinking: "Next Time DHS goes in first".
These fast response milita can probably even see that coming.
Twitter, FR, innumerable other sources.
The Feds only move with power and mass. You can see it coming from miles away in the modern world.
Welcome to the American Revolution.
Not sure I’ve ever even seen a BLM sort here in Texas..... , albeit most of our state property is privately owned they have no real purpose here I suppose.
Wonder what that thermal pic of the area looked like from the DHS / UAV flyovers ?.....:o)
Excellent show of force by the people....well done.
Hope yer well, stay safe !
The Federal government was in violation of the Constitution because they never ceeded title to 86% of the land comprising Nevada when it became a state.
“The United States government owns and has broad authority to regulate federal lands in Nevada,” the BLM arrogantly insists. “In response to challenges of federal ownership of the lands in Nevada, the 9th circuit held that the federal government owned all federal lands in Nevada, and that those lands did not pass to the state upon statehood.”
This is in direct conflict with Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution.
I would agree to the extent that it is because the federal government is today commanded by aged 1960s New Left Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their ideological issue -- arguably even that they are the Establishment.
As talk of war in eastern Europe, Asia, wherever and whatever I can see crackdowns on "sedition" to destroy critics.. again I predict a repeat of FDR'S Great Sedition Trial of 1944.
It failed because Americans in positions of power put an end to it.
Look who's in power nowadays. We have two Americas: them and us.
Just curious:
Had anyone else found/posted this notice I came across in the Federal Register?

It would be informative to see just how many Nevada ranchers have been driven off their land by the BLM - EPA.
Yeah, he can have my share. Better investment of my hard earned money than 75% of the other horseshit the government spends it on.
I heard on the Mark Levin show a night or two ago that the tortoises they are so concerned about are actually thriving - so much so that they are euthanizing them in the protected areas that have been set aside for them. Also, he said they have existed with the cattle for many years with no ill effect. I have not heard that reported anywhere else. The real story, of course, is Harry Reid, his son and the solar farms the Chinese want to build on that land - the new head of the BLM Nevada - a Reid donor. Additionally, as someone here posted a few days ago, why does the Fed. Government own sooooo much of the territory of the western U.S.? It looks like a third of the entire U.S. if not more!
on the news last night they said the situation had gone global. That sure helped a bit...Ruby Ridge didn’t have the back up or the internet.
I wonder what it is going to take to get Holder’s Justice Department to comply with the law?
