Feds to Release Bundy Cattle Caught in Nevada Roundup; Protesters Blocking Interstate (UPDATE: Traffic Moving Again). Now we have to ask how many millions was spent on this stupid boondoggle? Is Dirty Harry going to pay the government back?

  • A Rancher TELLS ALL:

    I live in SW Utah. I grew up on a ranch less than 100 miles from the Bundy's ranch. My father knows Cliven Bundy. I know Cliven's son Ryan. This is not a hoax, it is an action of force by the BLM.

    The BLM was going to sell the cattle at one of the smallest cattle markets in Utah. No cattle markets in Nevada would take the cattle without a properly signed brand inspection (which the BLM cannot obtain without Cliven Bundy's signature). The BLM paid the owner of the Utah cattle market $300,000 to do the sale ('R' Livestock Connection in Monroe, Utah, owned by one Scott G. Robbins, according to the Utah Business Entity Search). Utah Governor Herbert stepped in and forbid them from bringing the cattle into Utah without the legally required health and brand inspections (which again, require Bundy's signature) and that no feral cattle are allowed to be imported at all (per Utah statute). Because Bundy claims ownership over maybe 350-500 head of branded cattle, the other 500-700 estimated head of cattle would all be considered feral. BLM officially backed off, but we suspect they are still secretly shipping them through Utah without any permission to do so, to "private" buyers in Colorado. The contract cowboys that the BLM hired to do the roundup are from Sampson Livestock in Meadow, Utah (traitors one and all).

    From what I understand, Cliven Bundy owns both the Water Rights and Grazing Rights to all of the land where his cattle run. If Bundy failed to use them, the Grazing Rights would revert to the BLM and would be retired, while the Water Rights would revert to the State of Nevada, likely to be sold to the highest bidder (which would probably be a bidding war between mineral companies that are behind this action with the BLM and the City of Las Vegas which is thirsty for water and has had multiple attempts to buy water--through eminent domain from Utah farmers and ranchers--from Utah, which were all blocked by the Utah Legislature and Utah Governor Herbert). Chances are, the BLM has already filed a claim on the water rights so that they can sell to the highest bidder (instead of the state) and are trying to get the cattle off to show that Bundy cannot use the water beneficially (much like what the US Forest Service and BLM both tried to do to Wayne Hage). http://canadafreepress.com:80/index.php/article/62362

    Now, for Cliven Bundy, he's not fighting this for his cattle or his own livelihood. He recognizes that he will probably die before this fight is over. He has said multiple times that he is fighting this to wake people up about the tyranny of the Federal Government and also to help wake up the western states about getting the rights to their own land back from the federal government, which has repeatedly shut down ranchers and closed off land.
    (MO =
    1st, get all the ranchers, farmers, Native Americans, and foresters that use the land for positive, sustainable production off of the land;
    2nd, grab up all the resources;
    3rd, close off the lands to public access including camping, hiking, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, boating, shooting, etc;
    4th, sell off the resources to the highest bidder regardless of what that will do to the land, the local environment, or the economy;
    5th, collect royalties on the resources in perpetuity;
    6th, reduce and eliminate all SLS and PILT payments to the states, impoverishing them beyond belief.)

    Anyway, thanks for posting about this. It is important for us to be able to raise the appropriate resistance.

    Response:
    Thank you for sending your valuable insight. This contained the details we were all missing.

    From this we can now firmly conclude:

    1. The BLM's actions are not only flatly illegal, they are unlawful, and not only unlawful, they are so unlawful that it took bribing someone with a $300,000 payoff to get them to accept stolen cattle from a Government agency. I do not think that could be topped ANYWHERE else in the world, other than with something like a Mexican drug cartel.

    So we have a clear cut case of unlawful and prosecutable actions by the BLM in this case.

    2. The real goal is to shut down public access to these lands. Obviously Cliven Bundy was not a jerk, and he let people go back there to explore. I myself have done a LOT of back country exploring, and noticed in the early 2000's that they closed down all the back roads about a half mile before the destination they used to go to to discourage people from exploring the wilderness. Rather than drive the whole way, you had to get out and walk a considerable distance to scenes such as Swazy's leap, Paul Bunyans Wood Pile, and practically anywhere else you would want to go while out 4 Wheeling. And in the desert sun, that long of a walk was usually tough to do. This resulted in these types of locations no longer being visited, which effectively equaled a shut down.

    3. The motives are for profit. Rather than manage the lands responsibly, the BLM is stealing it from it's rightful holders via corrupt actions and legal loop holes, and selling it off to corporate interests. This is cold hard proof that America is not a democracy, or more importantly a Republic, it is in fact a facist dictatorship where corruption rules and rights, freedom and honor are irrelevant.

    The BLM killed hundreds of desert tortoises on purpose
    They say they had to kill them because they did not have the funds to care for them. Here are two really good solutions to that "problem."
    1. Just take them out in the desert and turn them loose.
    -OR-
    2. They could have taken the three million dollars they said the Bundy raid will cost them, CALLED OFF THE RAID, and SAVED THE TURTLES with that three million. If they had three million to destroy Bundy, they had it for the turtles as well but did not use it for that because tyranny comes first.

    Steeped in arrogance and incompetence, once again a Federal agency fails to see the obvious. Or perhaps they do see it but they could care less about nature and instead operate as the enforcement arm of a band of high ranking thugs.

  • Keep rollin', rollin', rollin',
    Though the streams are swollen,
    Keep them dogies rollin', rawhide.
    Through rain and wind and weather,
    Hell bent for leather,
    Wishin' my gal was by my side.
    All the things I'm missin',
    Good vittles, love, and kissin',
    Are waiting at the end of my ride.

    • Or maybe "Ghost Riders in the Sky" is more apropos.

      An old cowboy went ridin out one dark and windy day
      Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
      When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
      Plowin through the ragid skies and up a cloudy draw

      Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
      Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
      A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
      For he saw the riders comin hard and he heard their mournful cries

      Yippie i ohhh ohh ohh
      Yippie i aye ye ye
      Ghost riders in the sky

  • Sounds like a great time to start a couple of investigations into the Reid family's dealings with the Chinese, especially when it's federal lands involved. I was under the impression that you can't sell federal land to foreign nationals without the full congress being involved.

  • Mr. Bundy needs to bring one of his cattle trucks to the Las Vegas office of dingy harry and present he and his office manager with a bill for all of this.

    Here is fine example of when "We the People" stand up to an oppressive and intrusive government agency. The agency finds out real quick that it needs to retreat and observe the sovereignty of the people.

    Charlie Daniels was correct, this was a probing to see how far that an agency could go before there was a push back.

    • Good idea but I'd tweak it and bring one of the cattle trucks full of cow shit and dump it in front of the front door.

      • dump it in front of the front door.

        "dump it in the front door."

        There, I fixed it for you.

    • The point is the BLM idiots never should have done this to begin with, so it's a gigantic waste of money. What price stupidity?

      • What price stupidity?

        well, what's been paid to elect n re-elect this kenyan?

        anybody? anybody? bueller?
