The Communist Chinese govt tried to get the Bush admin to let them set up these Companies with huge parcels of land and they said NO.

Our Marxist Muslim has allowed it and I just know this phony green company us a Chinese military funded operation right on the backyard of all these secret us military bases in NV.

Who will be watching this Chinese firm ?..

Please beware that all Chinese citizens who work in the US are also spying

PUTTING ON MY TINFOIL HAT TO CONNECT THE DOTS:

(1) Harry Reid's son Rory is in business w/ the Chi/Coms on a multi-billion dollar solar energy project; Bundy and his land are standing in the way.

(2) Reports say Bill Clinton recently went to China to panhandle for his tax-exempt foundation, "The Clinton Global Initiative."

(3) The Clinton Global Initiative (NOT KNOWN for giving out grants)---gave Harry Reid's granddaughter a grant for a Brooklyn, NY theatre she runs (what is the theatre's connection to "global initiatives?"

(4) A Nevada energy company also gave Reid's granddaughter's theatre group a grant.

================================================

"Money laundering" comes to mind. Could the Chinese be financing the Reid's solar project through donations to the Clinton Foundations....which is then laundered to Reid's granddaughter?

================================================

REFERENCE----HARRY REID IS LIVID THAT HIS GRAND-DAUGHTER HAS BEEN OUTED AS A RECIPIENT OF LAUNDERED CAMPAIGN CASH---Reid lashed out at reporters, saying, “My granddaughter has been the target of harassing phone calls, strangers tracking her down, knocking on her door and negative, unwanted attention on the Internet.” “This has gone too far and it needs to stop now,” Reid said. “I deeply regret any role I had in creating this situation but now, as a grandparent, I say enough is enough.”

============================================

Besides the "jewelry company" financed by her grandfather, Ryan Elisabeth Reid runs the Sprat Theater Company, a small theater in Brooklyn, which is also coming under scrutiny. According to Sprat’s Theatre Company Web site, it has received grants/contributions from:

<><> the Clinton Global Initiative (connected to global terrorism via Muslim Brotherhood employee),
<><> two major Las Vegas foundations:
Caesar’s Foundation, and the NV Energy Foundation.

NOTE NV Energy Foundation---is a non-profit division of NV Energy (a public utility). The NV Energy utility is a subsidiary of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company which took over in 2013.

NEED TO KNOW Did Harry Reid use US government power, US govt agencies, his Senate office, and/or tax resources to enrich any of the above-named energy-related entities?

=========================================

email: enforcement @SEC.gov

==================================================

The SEC and IRS should examine every document filed by (a) The tax-exempt Clinton Global Initiative, (b) the tax- exempt Caesar's Foundation and (c) The tax-exempt Nevada Energy Foundation, (d) Reid granddaughter's theatre group.

Every official tax-exempt document needs to be scrutinized in conjunction w/ possible connections to govt fraud, corruption, money laundering and tax evasion. Perjury and forgery, need to be considered.

Falsifying Official Public Documents involves altering, changing, or modifying a document for the purpose of deception.......can also involve forgery and/or passing copies of false documents. Falsifying documents is usually done in connection with broader criminal aims, such as extortion, government fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, financing terrorism........

==================================================

L/E should to get ahold of Rory and Harry Reid's: (1) check copies, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including e-mail, contracts, loan agreements, and, (8) any other books or records.

L/E should also explore (a) monies Reid paid to brokers, sub-brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.

================================================

BTW, here's Harry w/ his grand-daughter....the one who got $31,000 in laundered campaign funds for her "jewelry company" and grants from Clinton and Nevada energy foundations.

Reid and granddaughter Ryan Elisabeth Reid.

==================================================

NOTE The Clintons' shady tax-exempt foundation financing is unveiled in a recent NYT expose of corruption, greed, entitlement, nepotism, and cronyism. The tax-exempt Clintons' Foundation even had their very own Muslim terrorist to carry out presidential orders.

Was this groundbreaking previously scheduled? As slimy as Harry Reid and his associates are, I would not put it past them to have organized or move up the ceremony as the first, “This is not over.” response. There will be fatalities. There will be bloodshed. The jack boot of the Federal government will grind hard and long on the necks of people associated with this standoff. Harry Reid and his Progressive Socialist cohorts in the ruling class will absolutely exact revenge for opposing their supplemental income and make this a lesson in not standing against the Federal government.

EXCERPTED FROM HARRYREID.COM WEB SITE

Sen. Harry Reid believes that by increasing energy efficiency and conservation we can lower energy costs for all Nevadans. That is why he has secured $37 million to help Nevadans make homes and buildings more energy efficient.

Sen. Reid also led the effort to extend tax credits for energy efficient appliances, homes and buildings, and expands incentives for consumer’s purchasing plug-in electric drive vehicles.

======================================================

“Sen. Reid has demonstrated bold leadership in making renewable energy a national priority. His efforts will go a long way toward improving the economy by creating jobs, protecting our outdoors, and even strengthening national security.

Sen. Reid's transmission bill provides a solid framework from which to start working on policies that will help deliver large solar resources to consumers and businesses in Nevada and throughout America.”

-- Jim Barnhart, Senior VP for manufacturing for Ausra. Ausra has a facility in Las Vegas that produces reflectors for solar thermal power systems

Sen Reid seems to know a lot of things---taxpayers want to know how Sen Reid apparently knows enough about Mr Bundy to say Bundy did not pay taxes.

This would be confidential IRS information. It is illegal to have information about an individual's tax status. Did Reid collude w/ the IRS to get illegal information? Does Reid possess confidential IRS information?

Add how does Reid know "something is going to happen to Mr Bundy"? Is Reid using government power and resources, and his privileged federal offices to plan "something" against Mr Bundy?

POSTED ON FR---Harry Reid: “Something Will Happen” To Stop Rancher Cliven Bundy
Gateway and CBS ^ | April 22, 2014 | Jim Hoft / Posted by george76

Senator Harry Reid told reporters the Bundy Ranch dispute is not over. “Something will happen.” ...

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says “something is going to happen” to get Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy to stop letting his cattle graze on federal land. “It’s obvious that you can’t just walk away from this. And we can speculate all we want to speculate to what’s going to happen next,” Reid told KSNV-TV. “But I don’t think it’s going to be tomorrow that something is going to happen, but something will happen. We are a nation of laws, not of men and women.”

Reid called militias staying at Bundy’s Bunkerville ranch “domestic violent terrorist-wannabes.”

State Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., disagreed with Reid, telling KSNV that these militia members are “patriots” and took issue with how the U.S. Bureau of Land Management handled the situation.

“I take more issues with the BLM coming in with a paramilitary army of individuals with snipers. I’m talking to people and groups that are there at the event. Your own government with sniper lenses on you. It made a lot of people very uncomfortable,” Heller told KSNV. (Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...

As a Potential Domestic Terrorist, (per Janet Napolitano ) I stand proudly ready to defend my Country against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

SNIPER 101 Part 1 - Introduction - Rex Reviews

Snipers, hunters, target shooters, ladies and gentlemen... Finally, Rex Reviews releases this long awaited free online long range shooting / sniper tutorial. TiborasaurusRex will walk you through everything you will need to know about sniper ammunition and cartridge selection, rifle and equipment options, basic and advanced external ballistics, making effective ballistic charts, rangefinders and distance determination, long range marksmanship, shooter / spotter team dynamics and communication, choosing a FFP, making the shot, spotting the shot, and much more.

This course goes far beyond what is covered in the U.S. Army FM23-10. So, if you can't make it to Quantico or the AMTU to learn these long range shooting skills, this video tutorial series will have you covered. We will get you set up to make amazingly accurate first round shots at 1 mile and beyond. Do you want to be able to zap that white tail buck at 1,275 yards and be confident it will be a nice clean kill? Watch this series!

All law abiding men and women in the free world who treasure their rifles MUST have these long range shooting skills for the continuation of our shooting culture and for the future preservation of our wonderful nation!

Stay clean, obey the law, and keep smiling.

I think everyone needs a hobby and I'd like to suggest one that may just possibly become a popular patriotic one - learning to shoot at long range targets. Have you ever wished you could hit a small target that is 3000 feet away? Yes, 1000 yards seems like a long distance but it does not require that you spend $5000 on your equipment. 1,000 yard BUDGET RIFLE! .243 at 1,021 yards - REX Reviews

Do you want a real budget rifle? How about a target that's 944 yards away. Nail it with a M91 Mosin Nagant - using 7N1 Sniper Ammo and no scope! That's right just IRON SIGHTS!

"is it on BLM land or Paiute Reservation land?"

I don't know, and I don't think it makes any difference. If the feds want to offset land they will do it.

In Michigan, we have a combined fed and Michigan offset requirement for using wetlands. You are allowed to fill wetlands, as long as you "offset" the fill with creation of new wetlands where there were none before. If you are a private individual, you must "offset" one and a half acres for every single acre you fill. A neighbor had to "offset" three acres in order to fill a third of an acre. He also had to give up three hundred feet of lake shoreline in order to use fifteen feet. If you are the state, you must "offset" only one acre for every acre you fill. How fair is that? In other words, the feds can do whatever they want to do.

In a 2012 an article pinpointed Obama taxpayer funded Solar loans to his supported Companies, that 19 of 33 green energy solar companies were already headed to bankruptcy....wonder now how many more.

The above article shows that US Jobs money goes to China and taxpayers and the unemployed lose!

SNOPES.COM MARCH 8.2009-—
Eminent Domain Claim: The U.S. government has agreed to allow China to exercise “eminent domain” as collateral for American debt. Read more at http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/domain.asp#8HU84PfLpwYQCuQU.99

The United States of America has tendered to China a written agreement which grants to the People’s Republic of China, an option to exercise Eminent Domain within the USA, as collateral for China’s continued purchase of US Treasury Notes and existing US Currency reserves!

On February 11, Bloomberg Business News reported that China was seeking “guarantees” for its US Government debt (Story Here), and it now appears they got it. Well placed senior sources at the US Embassy in Beijing CONFIRM the formal written agreement was delivered by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her recent trip to China.

This means that in the event the US Government defaults on its financial obligations to China, the Communist Government of China would be permitted to physically take — inside the USA — land, buildings, factories, perhaps even entire cities — to satisfy the financial obligations of the US government. [Rest of article linked here.]

Origins: The large amount of U.S. debt held by foreign countries such as China has long concerned many Americans, and especially so with the current climate of economic turmoil. As the Washington Post noted:

China is the biggest foreign holder of U.S. debt, which helped finance the spending binge the United States went on before the current economic crisis. Some experts have expressed concern that China’s substantial holding of U.S. debt gives it increased leverage in dealings with Washington because any halt in Chinese purchases would make it more difficult to finance the government bailout and stimulus packages.

Likewise, as Bloomberg news reported, some Chinese officals have opined that China should ask the U.S. for some economic guarantees as a prerequisite for additional purchases of U.S. securities:

China will ask for a guarantee that the U.S. will support the dollar’s exchange rate and make sure China’s dollar-denominated assets are safe,” said He [Zhicheng, an economist at Agricultural Bank of China].

But that’s as far as the truth of the item cited in the example block above goes. The notion that the U.S. has agreed to guarantee its foreign debt by granting China permission to enact “eminent domain” and “physically take land, buildings, factories, perhaps even entire cities” from the U.S. isn’t even a sensible claim.

The concept of “eminent domain” in the United States refers to the right of the government to seize private property for public use in exchange for payment of fair market value. (The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution mandates that “private property [shall not] be taken for public use, without just compensation.”)

Thus the idea of enacting eminent domain as a form of debt repayment or guarantee isn’t logical: It’s akin to a debtor’s offering to settle a $5,000 debt by agreeing to sell his creditor $5,000 worth of jewelry for $5,000 — at the end of the day, the debtor hasn’t given up anything, and his creditor still hasn’t collected anything on his original loan amount.

Moreover, Executive Order 13406 (”Protecting the Property Rights of the American People”) states that the the federal government must limit its use of the taking of private property “to situations in which the taking is for public use, with just compensation” and “not merely for the purpose of advancing the economic interest of private parties to be given ownership or use of the property taken.”

Aside from functional arguments, the common sense test applies: If the U.S. government had actually guaranteed, in writing, that China could seize private property within the U.S. to satisfy the financial obligations of the U.S. government, that information would be the biggest new story of the day.

So who is reporting this news? Not any legitimate news outlet — the story appears only in the blog of former radio host Hal Turner (who has previously presented fictitious tales of politically outrageous subjects as actual occurrences, such as proffering fake Amero coins as proof of a secret conspiracy to merge the U.S., Mexico, and Canada into a single entity) and in hundreds of identical Internet replications.
