You are sure quick to dismiss them grazing their cattle without paying for it
...and seemingly you are too quick to judge.
It is because I am very familiar with what they went through to pay properly and were rejected time and again. Most of that info has been locked up in subscription access to the many stories written on the subject.
I just look at who their accusers are. In general it is the only thing the deep state folks harp on. Their failure to pay without knowing the whole story. Well buddy, they all made it through the Federal Court system didn’t they.
Perhaps a bit of study on the reign of Special Agent Dan Love formerly of the BLM would help in your search for truth on the subject. Meanwhile how many ranchers still exist on so called Federal land in South East Nevada?
If the info is correct, The Bundy’s are the last. All others having been driven off by Federal actions against them despite paying for grazing rights.
All of the above doesn’t begin to address another important issue. That would be the Federal ownership of 84.9 percent of Nevada land. Contemplate for a moment what that means for a State to be able to support itself. States East of the Mississippi have less than 5 percent of their land in Federal hands.
At the moment you appear to be a deep state devote parroting the talking points that one could say were thrown out of Federal Court along with the case against the Bundy’s.
Fact is..He couldnt pay the fee. He is broke and used the excuse he did to try and avoid payment.
Funny thing all this. It was one Mormon family against another-the Reids. Thats what the whole affair was about. Harry Reid wanted that are for one of his scams and the Bundys got in the way.
And it you cared to check back on the post where I said that the Government screwed this whole thing up like they did with Wacko, you find out that I am not the government shill you accused others of being. What they did to the Hammonds was criminal, what they did to Randy Weaver was criminal.
What they did to the Bundys was also criminal, except it was Clivens excuse to NOT pay those grazing fees that made the whole thing come to a head.
In short, all this was, was a feud between Bundy and the Harry Reid cabal.
When Bundy had everything on his side, he opened his big mouth and proved he was a shyster.
BTW, Daniel Love was FIRED from the agency over this. Should have been thrown in jail.
Oh and those grazing fees? They are in place of paying property taxes if the rancher were to own that land-which is a lease.
Take that land, turn it over to that rancher-Bundy, and let him pay property taxes on it. See how long before he defaults. That is what should be done all across the USA. NO MORE FEDERAL LANDS.
I have advocated for that for EVER.
now, about public ownership of lands, more the merrier. I greatly appreciate that I can go almost anywhere is western states onto public lands. Try that in Virginia or New York where it is all private and posted.
