New images of cattle rancher Cliven Bundys tense standoff with the Federal Bureau of Land Mangement (BLM) on Saturday afternoon reveal how the armed agencys military operation configured to forcefully engage Bundy cowboys and their supporters who sought to liberate federally confiscated cattle over the weekend.
These exclusive images were taken by a GMN photographer positioned right above the action on the Southbound side of Interstate 15 near Bunkerville, Nevada.
Despite the BLM being instructed to leave the Bundy Ranch and Gold Butte area earlier that morning, the agency still insisted had a legal right to be there and that it would not let go of hundreds of cows it had already taken away from the Bundy Family. Critics are asking if that legal right also includes stationing a federal military force in Bunkerville.
Prior to this standoff, the special agent in charge of BLMs ground operations, Daniel P. Love, had issued a warning that any one who crosses the federal line in order to free the seized cattle will be arrested. Love went on boasting his agencys advantage over Bundy supporters when saying, Ive seen your numbers right now, youd better hope that 10,000 show up.
It turns out that protesters needed far less numbers to overcome Loves federal army. In the end, a Bundys contingent of 150 cowboys on horseback and a few hundred of peaceful supporters backed by a well-organised volunteer militia, all together, proceed to march past the BLMs line of demarcation to the entrance of cattle holding area, prompting the platoon of armed federal tactical teams to stand down and fall back.
This is the first collection in a three part series, showing the federal governments military build-up to Saturdays climax under US Interstate 15

I wouldn’t say it never gets mentioned. You keep mentioning it repeatedly. On every thread. For an entire week. While you express your love for your Federal Overlords, who were simply keeping the peasants off the King’s lands.
Whole lotta taxpeasant dollars sitting in that compound...
You look at these pictures, and realize something is realllly wrong in America. A paycheck makes them turn on fellow Americans. Sick
Doesn't every American? ;-)
Does Spew “Fedcoat” Buttkiss have a love of the Brave BLM Companions, and Ser Danny’s jackboot aftershave?
I’ll bet it’s not over.
The Feds and Harry Reid don’t take ‘no’ for an answer.
I think the Fed is regrouping and planning strategy .
Bet they wait until the volunteers leave and swoop in before resistance can return. Even another Waco if they have to.
Reid has said it ain’t over.
Read and try to comprehend the second amendment.
Other than that, I’m sick of your trolling for the fascist feds.
bye
So, did the Bundys have automatic weapons and dozens of mercenaries, like the Brave Federal Companions? How's about snipers with $10000 Gear kits, including high-dollar sniper rifles, and $30 an hour price tags?
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?
Good one!
Needs to be made into a sticker and plastered everywhere...

They sure had some nice tires and rims.
What should alarm the crap out of all of us is the undeniable impression of eagerness with which these JBT’s wanted to engage. They were ready throw down against American citizens for no GD good reason.
Look t those pictures and then recall the rhetoric questions that were asked about what side the military and military types would take in the event of a SHTF scenario.
I have my answer.
He didn’t “prove your point”, and your statement was idiotic to boot...
Thanks for proving you don't understand the Declaration of Independence, and by extension, the United States Constitution.
Do you think that most farming/ranching operations don’t have fertilizer and Diesel Fuel readily at hand?
Maybe most were doing Vegas at night and then commuting to the Ranch in the morning?
