During the final standoff at the Bundy Ranch on Saturday, we had a hundred or more militarized government agents and snipers aiming military grade weapons at hundreds of innocent American citizens. And they were being ordered through a public address system to move away or they would be "SHOT!" Their crime? Standing in defense of a Nevada citizen who was being ruthlessly tormented by rogue federal agencies over a twenty year period.
The fact that the BLM seemed to be perfectly willing to slaughter innocent Americans using military grade weapons and tactics over “grazing fees” on public lands is a national disgrace. This is the work of a criminal government.
You might expect a communist or fascist regime to do this, not the American government. This agency is totally out of control and heads need to roll.
I’d suggest starting with Senator Reid’s Nevada henchman, his former aide Neil Kornze, who is now the chief of the BLM. Then a serious congressional investigation into Reid and his son’s involvement in this matter would be in order.
And if there's any truth whatsoever in the reports that Reid and his son are involved with the Chicom government in trying to bring Chinese investments or Chinese solar operations to the Nevada desert, and Senator Reid is using his government power and or connections to the BLM to help move this along, they need to be charged and prosecuted.
Or if Senator Reid is using his power and connections in any way shape or form whatsoever to aid the BLM in its threatening actions against American citizens, he needs to be ejected from the U.S. Senate.
Sometimes a persons weight and measure just isn’t sufficient, no doubt we will see a new generation of better leaders arise from this.
Yeah its a let down when the ones you think would always be there to help rally a worthy cause.
All the right reasons that through history leadership is often short termed when someone better suited arrives and takes over.
“Who will be held responsible for the BLM threatening to slaughter hundreds of innocent Americans?”
No one....
The Mainstream Media has decided that this event never happened. Down the Memory Hole it goes. It’s “old News”, now.
As Sheryl Atkinson noted, the Alphabet Network Execs “Don’t want the headaches” that would go along with making an issue of this.
It might cost them some of their Obamacare bribe money... errr... I mean ad money, and they may not get invited to Tina Brown’s next Party.

Seen that to often to count.
My grandfather said that great grandpa bought the land from the UP railroad (that is how they financed the great railway). He also said that the Indians who were there before thought they had clear ownership.
My parents lost the farm. We still have some land, and the place haunts me in my dreams, but it is gone. One of these days, a big moneyed interest will push us out of the small toe hold we have left, and use the state to do it.

Oh well
Thanks
Yet here, again, we have a mercs getting ready to kill.
Full disclosure, I think Bundy is a nut. But nothing he did merits an armed response.
- DOUBLE the price of gasoline and energy
- DOUBLE the price of beef as China exploits BS solar crapola with Reid
- KILL coal mining in West Virginia and other states
- KILL oil exploration in the Gulf of Mexico and in other areas and other states
Yup. Our unelected, unaccountable government agencies have been taken over by politicized, militarized environmental fascists who, aided and abetted by unaccountable black robed progressive rulers, have devised plans to reduce the people who settled and worked the land to the status of second class citizens, depriving them of their God-given rights and ultimately driving them off the land.
These unelected, unaccountable agencies and judges now serve a higher master. The un-American Marxist/progressive movement. People like Obama/Reid/Pelosi have designs for the land and ultimately for all of us. They’re using environmentalism and junk science and corrupt politicians and judges to subvert the Constitution, destroy free-enterprise and insert themselves as controllers and rulers. Can’t have ordinary people deciding what’s best for themselves, their families, their communities, their states or even their countries. The progressive Marxist movement controls all.
The proof is in the pudding. They’ve driven off the miners, loggers, drillers, ranchers, manufacturers, even recreational users from the land they wish to use for their higher purposes—which at this time appears to be “green energy,” Obama has even announced his intentions of bankrupting the entire coal, gas and oil industries.
And as always, the all powerful become powerfully corrupt.
Bundy saw this happening early on and decided to stand his ground. He is standing tall for liberty!
Remember, all kinds of things were “illegal” when the fascists ruled Germany. The government could take your land, your business, even your life for just about any reason whatsoever and they were backed to the hilt by the “law” and the judges.
Can’t happen here. We have a constitution with checks and balances.
Well, it has.
It was there before your GF....was ripped off.
Wow, I am sorry to hear that story, but I bet it was repeated all over the country. This unconstitutional government has been raping people and taking their property for over a century.
The Washington government has put itself in a bind.
It has repeatedly and publicly endorsed violent revolution “by the people” as an agent for regime change. It has done so in Libya, Syria, Egypt and most recently Ukraine, where “the people” crashed barricades and set buildings and police on fire, allegedly in response to alleged government violence.
So, if the police fire first, overthrow of the regime is now recognized as legitimate exercise of force.
Now, all of the popular violence above was at the instigation and behest of transnational goals, mostly emanating from the EU and the US.
But if it is legitimate in Ukraine, why would it not be in any other country?
ANY other country?
“Someone wants not only BLM but also Bundy’s land.”
Agenda 21. These rule changes started in 93/94. Just after the Rio summit that ensconced Agenda 21 and the ‘sustainability’ argument as the ongoing policy of our government.
The greens just THINK this is about preserving ‘national treasures and species’. It’s about eliminating human occupancy of huge swaths of our lands. Some of us think as collateral in return for foreign powers buying our debts. It’s why mining and logging have ceased by and large. Those resources are being ‘saved’ for exploitation by the ‘new owners’ of those resources. In this case, the chicoms.
And it happens to each and every one of us. I wrote my annual big check to the Fed this morning and will mail it here shortly. It is a money transfer that is in defiance of what the Founders felt was the freedom method for financing a small government.
The Founders wrote in Article I: ...direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons...
IOW, a state with 3 times the population of State X had to end up paying 3 times the tax as the lesser populated State X. (The only functional way to have done that would have been to establish an amount of money to be raised and then to assign each state their share of it.)
Since larger states had more voting representatives in congress, this prevented MAJORITIES in Congress from robbing others blind to benefit their own needs. It says to me that the Founders were leery of poverty crowding into cities and outvoting lesser populated but more industrious regions. (Review a red/blue map by county of the USA, and notice that the blue is clustered in highly populated areas.)
Indirect taxes which are consumption taxes (sales taxes), on the other hand, are under the control of each individual citizen. You buy more, then you pay more. It's fair.
A direct tax becomes a money transfer scheme from the better off to the less well off. It's happening before our very eyes and demonstrating to us the wisdom of the Founders.
And it plays into the hands of the socialists and corporatists who use class warfare and elitism to take our money and use it to enhance their power by buying off constituencies and/or enriching themselves.
Those elites and those entitlement voters make possible the rule of a "dictatorship over the non-elites"....over us.
Here's the sad part, America. In the same way as generational welfare conditions those in it to believe that this is the way life is supposed to be, so having our children raised in a culture with a "dictatorship over the non elites" conditions them to accept that as normal.
See how effectively just two decades of homosexual propaganda has turned the thinking of average America to where it accepts this death-bringing behavior as "normal".
We worry all the time about leaving our children with this massive debt.
Far worse than that will be our leaving them on the road to serfdom, and if we don't fight against it, then we're affirming that it's just normal living, the way things are supposed to be.
At first Joseph protected his relatives, the Israelites, in Egypt. Eventually, though, a king rose who didn't remember Joseph. And those Hebrews ended up in slavery. They naturally grew right into it.
“I flew into Wichita in the 60’s and 70’s many, many times...
It was there before your GF....was ripped off.”
Sorry, it wasn’t the seventies. I was 5 or 6 when my grandfather died, and I was born in ‘46.
In 1951 the United States Air Force brought proceedings to condemn and acquire the Wichita Municipal Airport for what was to become McConnell Air Force Base. Wichita’s park board quickly acquired 1,923 acres (778 ha) of land in southwest Wichita and the construction of a new “Wichita Municipal Airport” took about three and a half years.
“Our Commander in Chief is responsible and must be held accountable. “
I have to say the American people are somewhat responsible for electing this guy twice and not really caring much as long as the govt. checks keep coming.
No sweat!
I think an analogy to the Magia is apropos here. The Bundys had a small buisiness raising cattle on the open range for about 50 years and then one day the Mafia came in and requested some “protection” money. Initially they paid the BLM (Bureau of Land Mafia) the protection money because it wasn’t that much and it was better to pay it than go through the hassle of trying to convince the courts that the Federal Mafia had no legal right to extort money from their enterprise.
Another 50 years goes by and the BLMafia puts the squeeze on the Bundys telling them that not only is the protection fee going up, but they can only raise a fraction of the cows they used to raise because the desert tortoise mob, the Environmental Protection Racket wants a cut of the protection money and their people want to set aside the land for the use of nobody. The neighboring companies pay the fee and attempt to limit the number of their cows and all eventually go out of business. The Environmental Protection Racket purchases the neighboring properties at a fire sale and push all the ranchers except Bundy off the land intending to use the land for a pet project designed to enrich the Mob Bosses who run both Rackets.
But Bundy refuses to pay the protection money. The mob sits quiet waiting for the wheels to get into motion on their Chinese/Mob Boss enriching solar scheme and then when the wheels are ready, it becomes necessary to take out the recalcitrant businessman and his family. They hire a bunch oh hit men and other mercenaries to take out the family and steal their cows.
What the Mafia didn’t take into account was that there would be a large contingent of good guys armed to the teeth ready to keep the Mob from executing their plan to take out the Bundys.
That’s where we are today. The Mob backed out, but will they continue their efforts to extort protection money and/or take them out or have the good guys prevailed?
While I love happy endings, the Godfather (Obama) has been disrespected and he is vengeful. His henchmen (Reid and Company) have vowed to finish what they started.
Magia? I meant Mafia.
Darn phone keyboards are too small for my fat fingers.
Yeah, I saw that. I thought he was one of the good guys since he announced BLM was going to pull out but turns out, he is just another Dingy Harry crony. Crazy how the BLM agents on the firing line wasn't told of the pullout, since they were still holding their line and threatening to shoot people after that.
If there is any truth to what those guys in the video were saying and this was a setup to slaughter those agents. The feds er dems, don't mind sacrificing those for political gains, but a botched operation like Fast & Furious, and they do their best to cover it up, of course with a complicit corrupt media.
