I sense we will be seeing some level of video feed from Utah rather short order.
There’s enough trouble brewing without stirring up more of it.
So in other words the land is not closed off. It's just closed to people who want to rip up the place with their ATVs. It's full of archeological sites and is sacred to the Navaho.
So here's a compromise. The BLM allows the ATV riders to have open season on the canyon and ride all over the places where the Navaho hold their ceremonies and gather their herbs and have their archeological sites. And the BLM also allow the Navaho to have a no limit open season on the ATV riders. See who's standing at the end.
The Next Bundy? BLM Backs Down Over Recapture Canyon, Utah Protest
snip
The BLM — after a huddle with the FBI, the Utah attorney general’s office, the
Utah Department of Public Safety and San Juan County Sheriff Rick Eldredge —
has decided once again to “stand back” and avoid a confrontation as it
did several weeks ago on the Bundy ranch in Nevada, Eldredge said.
“It was decided that, at the end of the day, it is not worth it to spill any
blood,” Eldredge said of the decision. . .

Bottom line: the Feds have way too much land.
Never did Veterans fight for the feds to keep control of lands that should belong to those the Vets fought for. It was no problem to give lands to former slaves from Southern farms, Lincoln said the lands out West should not belong to any government, managed by the South in particular.
What is it that this government has no respect of declarations and history?
Obviously there is a cabal of fiction people who think they are the heirs to the Founding Fathers’ National Treasure and the world.
But, But,, the treaty of...
What a crock.
The federal government has no authority to HOLD ANY land other than what is listed, art 1, sec 8, 17th enumerated power.
I’m looking for the politician who will call for BLM to be disbanded and the lands they administer to be handed over to the states.
Aside from military bases and office buildings, the federal government should not own vast swaths of land. The land grab was a power grab and needs to be reversed.
For me the better answer would be to sell the land to US citizens, perhaps by lottery, with leaseholders having first shot at the land they lease. But BLM itself needs to go.
Under no circumstance should BLM arm itself beyond whatever right-to-bear-arms any other citizen has.
So some stupid lizard, toad, owl goes extinct because humans are in their habitat. Do the biologists ever admit that many just move away and still exist? No. More species have gone extinct than exist today, and not because of human activity.
Really, a sardine sized fish (forgot name) is reducing the water supply to California's fertile food-producing central valley and causing farms to shut down. I hate, yes said hate, the EPA. I get to say hate because it is a natural (which you love) and legitimate human emotion. Deal with it all you environmental nazis.
