Thread: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher

Reid: ‘Something Will Happen’ To Stop Nevada Rancher Cliven Bundy

By Steve Straub On April 22, 2014 ·


It’s pretty rich for Harry Reid to claim we live in a nation of “laws and not men.”

Via CBS News Las Vegas:
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.”

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.

The junior Nevada senator also stated that he wants congressional hearings held about BLM trying to round-up Bundy’s cattle.

“I want to talk about the fact that they have this kind of authority and the ability to bully and to come in with 200 armed men into a situation like this. I would like to have hearings. I want to find out who’s accountable for this,” Bundy told KSNV, adding he wants to find out who “gave the marching orders.”

Armed campers are still guarding Bundy’s melon farm and cattle ranch more than a week after a tense standoff between gun-toting states’ rights advocates and BLM police over a roundup of Bundy cattle from public rangeland.

Thursday, 24 April 2014 11:28 After Bundy Ranch Fiasco, Reid and Co. Exposed as Real Extremists

Written by Alex Newman

In the wake of the now-infamous federal abuse unleashed on the Bundy ranching family and its supporters in Nevada, defenders of the heavy-handed terror tactics employed by the Obama administration’s Bureau of Land Management are finding themselves increasingly marginalized as potentially violent extremists. That is especially true for U.S. Sen. Harry Reid (shown, D-Nev.), who after launching a series of bizarre tirades against the ranchers and their friends, is being widely criticized and ridiculed — especially for his dangerous attempt to equate American citizens who protest government with “domestic terrorists.”
As The New American and much of the national media have been reporting for weeks, the Obama administration, led by a former Reid staffer who took over the BLM, descended on the Bundy ranch with heavily armed agents. Making matters worse, officials even tried to corral protesters into an unconstitutional “Free Speech zone,” sparking nationwide outrage. The David vs. Goliath-style violence and abuse by the feds, much of it videotaped and posted online, shocked the conscience of ordinary Americans.
Incredibly, amid the operation to remove so-called “trespass cattle” from supposed “federal” land, BLM agents even tasered and assaulted some members of the family and its supporters, hundreds of whom came from across America to stand with the beleaguered ranchers whose family has been there since the 1800s. The feds also came under severe criticism for unleashing a dog on a pregnant woman, assaulting a cancer victim, tasering a rancher, and aiming sniper rifles at peaceful protesters. Outrage is still growing.


The supposed reason for the federal intimidation and violence against the family surrounds alleged unpaid grazing “fees” and a desert tortoise that the federal government claims to be trying to protect. However, as The New American and many other publications have documented, there is almost certainly more to the story. Sen. Reid and his family, for example, are being accused of corruption yet again for having multiple financial conflicts of interest, perhaps explaining their fanatical reaction to the standoff. Many lawmakers, though, say it is part of a much deeper problem.
“This is not an isolated incident and is part of a broader war on rural America,” Washington State Rep. Matthew Shea, who is working with other Western officials to evict the feds, told The New American. Another lawmaker seeking to wrest control over the almost 50 percent of land in the West claimed by the U.S. government, Utah House Speaker Becky Lockhart, said: “What’s happened in Nevada is really just a symptom of a much larger problem.”
Either way, the extreme reaction by the Obama administration and supporters of the federal machinations in Nevada has sparked a potentially historic backlash that is growing quickly. Indeed, after the Bundy ranch standoff, the issue has become one of the major concerns facing liberty-minded Americans, earning non-stop media coverage for weeks that has still not died down. In Congress, though, it is increasingly becoming a partisan subject among the lawmakers who have commented, with radical Big Government advocates exposing their true colors — and their dangerous violent tendencies.
For instance, Sen. Reid, already facing multiple scandals and possibly about to lose control of the Senate, has increasingly marginalized himself as part of the lunatic fringe amid the debacle. “Those people who hold themselves out to be patriots are not. They're nothing more than domestic terrorists,” the controversial Senate majority leader said last week after the BLM decided to back off from the highly questionable operation at the Bundy ranch. “I repeat: What went on up there was domestic terrorism.” It was not clear what exactly the senator viewed as “terrorism” or what definition of the term he was relying on.
Still, consider very carefully the implications of what Reid is saying — especially in light of the ongoing terror war, in which the Obama administration claims the authority to unilaterally murder or indefinitely imprison anyone, including Americans, without even charges or trial. Indeed, some of the most deranged and fanatical elements of the far Left have even called for federal drone strikes to assassinate the Bundy family and their supporters. Others on the violent pro-Big Government fringe were even hoping for a Waco-style massacre.
On the other side of the aisle, though, as Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) suggested, cooler heads have largely prevailed. Republican U.S. Sen. Dean Heller, also of Nevada, for example, defended the Bundy family and its supporters across America, blasting the feds’ effort to “march an army” in there to cut off access to the land. “What Senator Reid may call domestic terrorists, I call patriots,” Sen. Heller added on KSNV-TV in Las Vegas. The senator also reportedly spoke with the BLM boss to express “great disappointment” and urge the agency to make changes to “preserve Nevadans’ constitutional rights.”
The governor of Nevada was also alarmed by the federal agency’s trampling on the unalienable rights of his constituents. “No cow justifies the atmosphere of intimidation which currently exists nor the limitation of constitutional rights that are sacred to all Nevadans,” Gov. Brian Sandoval, also a Republican, said about the fiasco. “The BLM needs to reconsider its approach to this matter and act accordingly.”
Some of the harshest remarks came from U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman of Texas, another lawmaker developing a reputation as a firm supporter of the Constitution and his oath of office. In a letter to Obama, extremist Interior Department Secretary Sally Jewel, and BLM boss Neil Kornze — the former Reid staffer — Stockman lambasted the administration’s lawless constitutional violations and demanded an end to the out-of-control operations.
Stockman also discovered that the feds’ extreme tactics employed at the Bundy ranch are not authorized by law — let alone the Constitution. “Because of this standoff, I have looked into BLM’s authority to conduct such paramilitary raids against American citizens, and it appears that BLM is acting in a lawless manner in Nevada,” he wrote, citing limited powers granted to the federal government and the fact that even under U.S. law, the BLM has no authority to exercise police powers.
“The federal government must not only stand down, but remove all federal personnel from anywhere near the Bundy ranch,” Rep. Stockman continued in his stinging rebuke of the administration’s bizarre and dangerous behavior in the Nevada case. Instead, if the federal government has legitimate business somewhere, it should rely on local law enforcement, which does have authority in its respective jurisdiction. In the Bundy case, that would have been the county sheriff, who critics said should have been arresting rogue BLM agents for their lawless violations of rights under color of law.
Outside of Congress and the political realm, similar trends are taking place in the media. On one side, Fox News, many newspapers, and most of the alternative media have taken a balanced approach to the story. At the same time, some Big Government propaganda outlets have joined the Reid family’s extremist crusade against the American people.
The fringe leftist MSNBC, for example — perhaps the most extreme national (despite its rapidly imploding market share and credibility) media outlet in the nation — in a fit of bizarre paranoia on the Chris Hayes show, even claimed the ranchers and their supporters were “insurgents” somehow engaged in a “little insurgency.” Consider, again, the implications of those violent statements in light of how the U.S. government has been treating so-called “insurgents” and “terrorists.” Already, the federal government has made clear that it considers Americans and veterans with mainstream political views to be potential terrorists, too.
Still, outside of the most extreme pro-Total Government “media” hacks, Reid’s outlandish comments were earning the controversial senator fierce rebukes from across the political spectrum. Even some stalwart establishment media outlets such as the Washington Post blasted the senator’s derangement in referring to American citizen protesters as “domestic terrorists” — as well as the frightening implications of such extreme rhetoric.
“The comparison is as noxious as it is absurd,” observed Post columnist Marc Thiessen on April 21 in a stinging piece lambasting Reid’s extreme comments. “It would be easy to dismiss Reid as a buffoon with a chronic case of logorrhea.... But instead of painting conservatives as extremists, Reid is only painting Democrats as enemies of the Western way of life.... Calling his opponents ‘domestic terrorists’ won’t solve his political problems — it will only make them worse.”
With radical Democrats in Congress and the press becoming increasingly marginalized as potentially violent extremists in the wake of the Bundy fiasco, now would be an excellent time to rein in the federal government. Good first steps, critics say, would be to strip it of its unconstitutional land holdings across the West once and for all, reining in its various violations of the Constitution in other areas, along with disarming its swarms of heavily armed storm troopers.
Already, as The New American reported this week, a fast-growing coalition of lawmakers and elected officials from Western states are rising up to do just that, and they are optimistic about eventual success. With enough public pressure — and with extremist Democrats expected to get crushed in the upcoming mid-term elections — the American people have an excellent opportunity to start restoring constitutional government.

Militia Members at Bundy Ranch Claim Feds Have Infiltrated Their Ranks

Dean Garrison April 24, 2014
276 Comments

Editor's Note: One of the contributors to Freedom Outpost, who attended the protests at the Bundy Ranch, has also confirmed the following information from Dean. It has not only been among the militias, but also among the protesters.
A week ago I got involved in a conversation with several of my Facebook Friends. We were discussing the possibility of the feds infiltrating the protest and militiacrowd at the Bundy Ranch. The general consensus was that it was simply common sense. Of course, they would attempt to do that if they had not already.

There is a distinct possibility that these militias were infiltrated long ago. It may not have happened this month. Why wouldn't the federal government try to infiltrate groups, if it felt those groups posed a threat? The government has called us "potential terrorists" for some time and we have now been labeled domestic terrorists that finally fulfilled our potential. It feels great doesn't it?

Of course, they would have tried to infiltrate. Chances are that while the BLM/Cliven Bundy situation developed they might have simply tried to reinforce what was already in place. If there are not feds on the inside, I will be very surprised.

CBS Las Vegas reports:

One man, among the self-described militia, says at least two federal agents went undercover to gather information and are preparing to make arrests. This latest information is causing increased tensions among those who say their goal is to protect rancher Cliven Bundy. Around 50 people remain at the ranch, many living in tents, and are prepared to stay for weeks, even months. The men say they took an oath to protect, but they are worried there is a rat in the ranks.

"When you pledge your life and your fortune, you're prepared to give it up," said Bobby Bridgewater, an Oath Keeper.

An atmosphere of uncertainty now surrounds the Bundy ranch. The so-called security guards aren't sure, but they believe it's possible federal agents are among them, posing as militia.

"You don't know until you actually catch somebody," Bridgewater said. "It is always something that we're always thinking about."

Whether it is paranoia or common sense depends on whom you are talking to but, again, I believe this is a completely valid concern. Sheriff Richard Mack, in an interviewwith Ben Swann, reported over a week ago that his sources, at the BLM and Vegas Metro, told him that a raid was already being planned:

According to Mack, the so-called retreat was nothing more than theatrics. "It was a ploy to get people to back off, to get people out of the way. They weren't expecting us to get this amount of people here. They were surprised by the numbers and so they wanted a way to get us out of here. This was a ploy to get us out of here and then they're going after the Bundys." Mack said that when he was at the Bundy ranch on Saturday there were an estimated 600 to 800 protesters present when federal agents were releasing the cattle.

"If they do that kind of raid, I don't believe there's any way that could happen without bloodshed," Mack told Swann.

Again, this would seem logical. Regardless of how just or constitutional the BLM's actions were, the federal government is not about to back off and give Patriotic Americans a reason to feel that they are regaining control.

It is simple psychology.

If Patriots are allowed to feel that they have won, then the government begins to lose control and things could snowball quickly. I fully expect that there will be a strong response by the federal government, whether bloodshed results or not.

We should all expect that. We just don't know when it is coming.

I must admit that I am taken aback if only 50 remain at the Bundy Ranch. Keep in mind that this could be a media spin but, if true, it is unacceptable. If that is the level of focus and commitment in America then we have to find a way to overcome it.
I won't sugarcoat it. It is embarrassing.

That does not negate the fact that the 50 who allegedly remain are heroes to many.

Friday, 25 April 2014 18:10 Is Cliven Bundy a “Racist”? Where’s the PROOF?

Written by William F. Jasper





Here we go again. You had to know it was coming. When the Left wants to distract America from the central point of a burning issue, they find (or manufacture) a “gotcha” moment and yell “RACISM!”

So it is no surprise that embattled Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, whose struggle against the federal government’s overreach has won widespread sympathy, has ended up as the latest victim of “race card” politics.
“But haven't you heard the TERRIBLE RACIST comments he made?” the critics scream. “It’s on video, in his own words; Cliven Bundy SUPORTS SLAVERY!”

Actually, yes, we’ve watched “the” video comments that have caused such a raging firestorm amongst the “progressive” mainstream-media commentariat, and that also have caused panic and consternation amongst Republicans, conservatives, and libertarians who have supported Cliven Bundy.

Many of these erstwhile supporters have been caught off-guard and frightened into denouncing Bundy as a “racist” and his remarks as “vicious” and “reprehensible.”
But it might be helpful to take a calm look at what he actually said and see if it really should be engendering so much angst and furor amongst the political and chattering classes. In the video below, from which the New York Times selected its excerpts to stir up the racism charge, Cliven Bundy makes some statements that are sympathetic to Blacks and Mexicans. He states:
I was in the Watts riots. I seen the beginning fire and I seen the last fire. What I seen was civil disturbance, people were not happy. People thinking they don’t have freedom, didn’t have these things — and they didn’t have them. We’ve progressed quite a bit from that day until now, and we sure don’t want to go back. We sure don’t want these colored people to go back to that point. We sure don’t want the Mexican people to go back to that point. And we can make a difference right now by taking care of some of these bureaucracies and do it in a peaceful way....
Any fair rendering of the above comment would have to admit that Bundy is saying that he’s glad for the gains that racial minorities have made and he doesn’t want to see them to the pre-1960s status. So, is he then saying in the next breath that he wants to see them go back to their status in the pre-1860s? Is he really saying they we’re better off under slavery, that he would have favored slavery back then, that they should have stayed in slavery, that he would like to see them in chattel slavery once again?
That’s the message his critics are promoting. And if it were true, Cliven Bundy’s statements would indeed be reprehensible, and he would, understandably, be a much less sympathetic character. It would not change the facts in his case or affect the merits (or lack thereof) of his claims that the federal government is acting unfairly toward him and abusing its authority. But it would cause support for him to diminish, if not collapse. And that, of course, is the point of this whole media “gotcha” provocation.

Much of what Mr. Bundy is saying closely parallels what even many black leaders, authors and intellectuals — such as Prof. Walter Williams, Rev. C.L. Bryant, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Bill Cosby, Alveda King, Star Parker, and Alan Keyes — have been saying. But Cliven Bundy’s “sin” is that he is an elderly white man who is unschooled in traversing the minefield of political correctness — and he was careless in failing to make important distinctions and clarifications. He “sinned” by being born when he was born, and failing to keep up with the constantly changing terminology for ethnic designations. He still uses the terms “Negro,” “colored people,” and “Mexican,” instead of “black/ African American” or “Hispanic/Latino” — but then, race activists still argue amongst themselves concerning the “proper” ethnic label to apply to their lineage and group identity.
“In the course of his remarks, Bundy also uses the word ‘Negro’ to refer to African Americans,” the Washington Post noted ominously, as if that is de facto evidence of the rancher's alleged racist mindset. Others have noted that he used the term “colored people.” Horrors! Well, guess what? Martin Luther King, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton, and virtually every other black leader has used those terms as well. (Check it out; you can find news footage and their speeches online from the 1960s and ’70s.) And the United Negro College Fund and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) are still two very prominent black organizations that have not changed their names. So, perhaps, Bundy can be accused of being stuck in a time warp and having a tin ear and being insensitive to how certain words from his era now sound out of place to the “modern ear” — and even connote (wrongly or rightly) to some people evidence of racism. But it's a big stretch to translate those "sins" into a credible indictment.
So, let’s look at the few sentences that have caused all the uproar. Bundy said:
I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro. When I go through North Las Vegas, and I would see these little government houses, and in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids — and there is always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch — they didn’t have nothing to do. They didn’t have nothing for their kids to do. They didn’t have nothing for their young girls to do.
And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do? They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.
Yes, those intent on seeing an endorsement of slavery in Cliven Bundy’s statement, can make a flimsy case based on the above statement. But is that really what he was trying to say? Is he not, perhaps, trying to make a point about the dignity of work and the importance of strong family life and self reliance, and the destructive, debilitating, denigrating effect of dependence on government for sustenance?
Is Cliven Bundy not trying to say much the same thing, for instance, as Prof. Walter Williams, the popular economist/columnist/author/speaker, who happens to be black? Williams, whose columns appear regularly here in The New American, was interviewed in 2011 by the Wall Street Journal’s Jason Riley, following publication of Williams’ autobiography, Up from the Projects. Here are a couple of Bundy-sounding excerpts:
"We lived in the Richard Allen housing projects" in Philadelphia, says Mr. Williams. "My father deserted us when I was three and my sister was two. But we were the only kids who didn't have a mother and father in the house. These were poor black people and a few whites living in a housing project, and it was unusual not to have a mother and father in the house. Today, in the same projects, it would be rare to have a mother and father in the house."
Even in the antebellum era, when slaves often weren't permitted to wed, most black children lived with a biological mother and father. During Reconstruction and up until the 1940s, 75% to 85% of black children lived in two-parent families. Today, more than 70% of black children are born to single women. "The welfare state has done to black Americans what slavery couldn't do, what Jim Crow couldn't do, what the harshest racism couldn't do," Mr. Williams says. "And that is to destroy the black family."
... "Racial discrimination is not the problem of black people that it used to be" in his youth, says Mr. Williams. "Today I doubt you could find any significant problem that blacks face that is caused by racial discrimination. The 70% illegitimacy rate is a devastating problem, but it doesn't have a damn thing to do with racism. The fact that in some areas black people are huddled in their homes at night, sometimes serving meals on the floor so they don't get hit by a stray bullet — that's not because the Klan is riding through the neighborhood."
Cliven Bundy’s remarks also sound remarkably similar to the comments made by Rev. C.L. Bryant, and other black leaders who appear in Rev. Bryant’s hard-hitting documentary Runaway Slave. The fiery Bryant, a former black radical leftist and NAACP official, says much the same thing as Bundy — only much more emphatically and defiantly. One of the black pastors who appears in the last few seconds of the five-minute short version of “Runaway Slave” below makes a very relevant comment concerning the devastating effect that socialism and government paternalism have had and are having on black Americans and the necessity of black men to speak up against this. “What we need in this country today,” he says, “is more black men to confront it, because you as a white man can’t confront it. Because right now, if you said anything to the black community you’re going to be accused of racism.” Mr. Bundy can say amen to that.



Alan Keyes, former U.S. ambassador to the UN’s Economic and Social Council, is one black leader who immediately came to Bundy’s defense. “He wasn’t talking so much about black folks, but about the harm and damage that the leftist socialism has done to blacks,” Keyes said in an interview with World Net Daily, where he also is a columnist.
“I find it appalling that we basically have a history of the leftist liberalism that wants to extinguish black people by abortion [and] destroying the family structure,” Keyes told WND. “All of these things if you just look at the effects, you would say this was planned by some racist madman to destroy the black community.”
“I think it’s time somebody started to recognize the racism that exists in its effects — the hard leftist ideology using the black community for their sacrificial lamb, for their sick ideology. It’s time we called them what they are,” he said. “Now it’s racist to point it out.”
World Net Daily’s David Kupelian today provides a very insightful companion piece to the above article, entitled, “HARRY’S WAR: What’s really behind the targeting of Cliven Bundy,” that provides an excellent analysis of the agenda behind the attacks on Cliven Bundy by Harry Reid, the Obama administration, and their media allies.
Finally, since Mr. Bundy has been subjected to non-stop smears and vitriolic attacks for the past several news cycles, in the interests of fairness, we’ll let him have the last word. What follows is a press statement of Cliven Bundy sent to The New American by his wife, Carol Bundy, moments ago:
We are trading one form of slavery for another.
What I am saying is that all we Americans are trading one form of slavery for another. All of us are in some measure slaves of the federal government. Through their oppressive tactics of telling the ranchers how many cows they can have on their land, and making that number too low to support a ranch, the BLM has driven every rancher in Clark County off the land, except me. The IRS keeps the people of America in fear, and makes us all work about a third or a half of the year before we have earned enough to pay their taxes. This is nothing but slavery from January through May. The NSA spies on us and collects our private phone calls and emails. And the government dole which many people in America are on, and have been for much of their lives, is dehumanizing and degrading. It takes away incentive to work and self respect. Eventually a person on the dole becomes a ward of the government, because his only source of income is a dole from the government. Once the government has you in that position, you are its slave.
I am trying to keep Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream alive. He was praying for the day when he and his people would be free, and he could say I'm free, free at last, thank God I'm free at last! But all of us here [in] America, no matter our race, are having our freedom eroded and destroyed by the federal government because of its heavy handed tactics. The BLM, the IRS, the NSA — all of the federal agencies are destroying our freedom. I am standing up against their bad and unconstitutional laws, just like Rosa Parks did when she refused to sit in the back of the bus. She started a revolution in America, the civil rights movement, which freed the black people from much of the oppression they were suffering. I'm saying Martin Luther King's dream was not that Rosa could take her rightful seat in the front of the bus, but his dream was that she could take any seat on the bus and I would be honored to sit beside her. I am doing the same thing Rosa Parks did — I am standing up against bad laws which dehumanize us and destroy our freedom. Just like the Minutemen at Lexington and Concord, we are saying no to an oppressive government which considers us to be slaves rather than free men.
I invite all people in America to join in our peaceful revolution to regain our freedom. That is how America was started, and we need to keep that tradition alive.
Cliven D. Bundy

Flashback: Sen. Reid Breaks Ground for Nevada Solar Farm Near Bundy Ranch


The senator’s plan for solar farms in Nevada wasn’t just limited to the shelved project near Laughlin

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who was exposed last Friday as the mastermind behind the Bureau of Land Management’s persecution of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, can be seen in this March 2014 photo breaking ground for a new solar farm near the Bundy Ranch, emphasizing that the senator’s plan for solar projects in Nevada wasn’t just limited to the shelved solar farm near Laughlin.

Signaling the first day of construction of the Moapa Southern Paiute Solar Project, which is about 35 miles from the Bundy homestead in Bunkerville, Nevada, Sen. Reid joined representatives from the Moapa Band of Paiutes, executives from First Solar, Inc. and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power for the groundbreaking ceremony on March 21.
“First Solar is thrilled to celebrate this important milestone with Sen. Reid and distinguished guests, and honored to work with the Moapa Band of Paiutes on this landmark project,” Jim Hughes, the CEO of First Solar, said at the time.
The development of solar farms just like this one is exactly why Sen. Reid was using the BLM, whose director is Reid’s former senior advisor, to push Bundy out of the Gold Butte area his family has worked for over 140 years.
As we revealed last Friday in an article that became the #1 news story in the world for 24 hours, the BLM specifically stated that it wanted Bundy and his cattle out of the area as part of the agency’s “regional mitigation strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone.”
The BLM attempted a cover-up by deleting documents exposing the plan from its web site, but fortunately contributors at the Free Republic were able to save them for posterity.

Other news outlets have attempted to whitewash the situation by suggesting that the solar farm development was only limited to the shelved 2012 deal between Sen. Reid and Chinese-owned ENN Energy Group in Laughlin, Nev., but by reading the BLM’s own documents it is quite obvious that this is not the case.
“The BLM’s current action builds on the Western Solar Energy Plan, a two-year planning effort conducted on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Energy to expand domestic energy production and spur development of solar energy on public lands in six western states,” the BLM announced in a March 14 press release. “The Western Solar Energy Plan provides a blueprint for utility-scale solar energy permitting in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah by establishing Solar Energy Zones with access to existing or planned transmission, incentives for development within those Solar Energy Zones, and a process through which to consider additional Solar Energy Zones and solar projects.”
“The Regional Mitigation Strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone is the first of several pilot plans to be developed by the BLM,” the press release added.
In summary, the BLM, acting under Sen. Reid’s corrupt interests, wants Cliven Bundy out of the 600,000 acre Gold Butte area so the agency can use the land for future solar projects and de facto buffer zones surrounding the solar farms.
This is crony capitalism at its finest and Bundy’s supporters, who numbered in the thousands, knew it.

Construction begins on 250 MW First Solar Nevada PV plant

25. March 2014 | Global PV markets, Industry & Suppliers, Applications & Installations, Markets & Trends | By: Ian Clover Los Angeles Department of Water and Power agrees 25-year PPA for the project, which will be located north of Las Vegas.

U.S. solar company First Solar has teamed up with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) to deliver 250 MW of clean solar energy to the city over the next 25 years.
In signing a 25-year power purchase agreement, LADWP will be able to provide solar PV electricity to some 93,000 Los Angeles homes per year, with First Solar subsidiary Moapa Southern Paiute Solar LLC contracted to construct and project-manage the solar plant for the duration of the agreement.
Construction of the plant began this week and is expected to be completed and fully operational by the end of 2015. The plant will be fitted with First Solar's advanced PV thin-film modules and cover 2,000 acres of land on the Moapa River Indian Reservation just north of Las Vegas.
As well as mitigating the effects of 313,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year, the project will generate an estimated 400 new construction jobs, boost economic growth for the local Indian Moapa Band Pauites tribe, and contribute 2.4% towards LADWP's renewable energy portfolio.
"Breaking ground on this project marks a very important milestone for Nevada, the Moapa Band of Paiutes, and tribal nations throughout the country," said U.S. Senate Majority Leader for Nevada, Harry Reid. "The Moapa Southern Pauite Solar project is the first utility-scale solar project on tribal land and will deliver much-needed economic benefits to the Tribe and Nevada."
LADWP has pledged to reduce its energy use by 10% via the adoption of renewable energy over the next few years, and the department's general manager, Marcie L. Edwards said that this solar project is a "significant step" towards LADWP's effort to achieve a "major transformation of the city's power supply – one that has greater reliance on renewable energy resources and zero coal power."
The site will include a 9 km 500 kV transmission line that will connect the project to the existing Crystal Substation in California.
"First Solar is thrilled to celebrate this important milestone with Senator Reid and distinguished guests, and honored to work with the Moapa Band of Paiutes on this landmark project," added First Solar CEO Jim Hughes.

BTW for a seperate point of contention, a few of you here were trying to say to me the solar stuff was bunk...Well for your information, here in Las Vegas, Nevada last night, on a local news station, there was a call out for 400 people that needed to be hired. The company that is hiring is called First Solar, they are some where up in Moapa, Nevada 20 miles or so from the Bundy Ranch cut off!! Ding Ding Ding!!! Don't get me wrong I think the jobs are great but the circumstances surrounding this are slightly suspicious. The name First Solar is also very familiar!!!!

Wake up America the Fall is almost here, it is almost achieved for them, the wolves are at the door!!!!!!! See something say something, I'm just say'in










As for Gliven Bundy apologizing ,why and for what, he never made any racist statements...

OPERATIONS: BUNDY FREEDOM / RESTORE RULE OF LAW / PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH ---> SPECIAL ALERT BULLETIN AND INFO <--- FOR ALL UNITS AND PUBLIC DISSEMINATION:

The Nevada Constitution and all findings and rulings of any and ALL COURTS including the Supreme Court of the United States is subservient to We The People and OUR Constitutional laws that WE "ordained and established" UPON THEM to "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" meaning wages, salaries, property, individual unalienable Rights endowed us by God, individual prosperity, our economy, our jobs and our FREEDOM.

Witness Michelle the RULE of our LAWS upon our elected Republican and Democrat enemies, as well as our Judicial enemies of our Bill of Rights and God endowed Rights and power as We The People are His ordained rulers and higher powers over America and over our elected public SERVANTS who merely work for Gods ordained rulers and higher powers; for there is no power but that ordained by God:

The Constitution of the United States
Preamble Note:

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form -->a more perfect Union<-- (of fifty FREE and SOVEREIGN COUNTRIES each with their own sovereign "Republican form of Government"), establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do -->ordain and establish<-- this Constitution -->for<-- the United States of America."

Now here is why/where the part of the Nevada Constitution that you posted for us is NULL and VOID:

Article VI clause 2; SUPREMACY CLAUSE makes Nevada's State Constitution, the part that Michelle Dutro clipped for us above, NULL and VOID:

"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."

Amendment 9 - Construction of Constitution. Ratified 12/15/1791.

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

Amendment 10 - Powers of the States and People. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." > This refers to the eighteen limited powers and spending budget items granted to our elected Republican and Democrat usurpers and despots as enumerated under Article I Section 8, of The Constitution. All other Federal spending and powers, beyond that enumerated under Article I Section 8 are reserved to the States or the people.

Federalist #33: “But it will not follow from this doctrine that acts of the large society which are NOT PURSUANT to its constitutional powers, but which are invasions of the residuary authorities of the smaller societies, will become the supreme law of the land. These will be merely acts of usurpation, and will deserve to be treated as such.” – Alexander Hamilton

Federalist #45: “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government, are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.” – James Madison

That is why the American People, and NOT our elected usurpers must restore the rule of our Ninth and Tenth Amendment laws before the Republic ends up in a combo Civil/Re-Revolutionary War to restore our Ninth and Tenth Amendment laws, so that the average common Middle Class workingman can be as wealthy as we were in the 1890s, when we were about ten times wealthier and on one wage or salary per family and the family was a loving caring family unit, under God. During these times the divorce rate was consistently under 5%.

Federalist #10: Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths. Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of government, have erroneously supposed that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same time, be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions. – James Madison

George Washington, the President of The Constitutional Convention, a year after he signed The Constitution, was elated to describe our form of Government as a "CONFEDERATED GOVERNMENT". (Source: 1788 Letter to Sir Edward Newenham; Fitzpatrick 30:72)

What is the definition of "Confederated Government" as George Washington defined our Constitutional provisions for designing our Federal Government?

The definition of a "Confederated Government" is one in which an alliance of independent states creates a central government of very limited power; the members states have supreme authority over all matters except those few which have been expressly delegated to the central government.

The State of Wisconsin, with the balance of the Union following our lead, will dissolve the size, powers, scope and spending of our elected Republican and Democrat despots and usurpers of our Bill of Rights, by COMPELLING our State legislators to sponsor and pass our "State of Wisconsin Joint Sovereignty Resolution with ARREST Provision" and along with its VITAL companion legislation to prepare all State Law Enforcement agencies to SUPPORT and DEFEND 'OUR' Ninth and TENTH Amendment LAWs will commence to incrementally State nullify all FEDERAL SPENDING, USURPATION AND UNLAWFUL Acts by all three branches of Government not in compliance with and exceeding their eighteen enumerated powers and spending limits under Article I Section 8, before they dissolve us;

N.B.C.R.; No Budget Cuts Required. The States shall do all of the politically IMPOSSIBLE budget cutting for them and restore all of the GROSS wages and salaries back to the American Middle Class weekly paychecks also by incremental State nullification of all withholding taxes, employment taxes and income taxes, so that the States and the people can pay for and decide to do with their wages, salaries and property whatever THEY want as Free people.

Shall WE not do our duty to God, as His ordained Rulers, before our U.S. Dollar collapses and the tyrants declare martial law suspending Our Constitution indefinitely and thus give us the residue choice of only fight or surrender?

Capt. Karl

The media distorts information to the point of social division. This is a photo of myself and the resilient, often charismatic, and maybe not so tactful Cliven Bundy. He's a cowboy and a helluva family man, not an orator. One thing he definitely isn't - a racist. I found his comments to not only be NOT racist, but his own view of his experiences. Who the heck are we to determine another man's perspective on the world around him?! Just because Picasso's view of the world was abstract, does it negate the fact that his art was genuine? Furthermore, if you take the time to do your own research, you'll find that his statements about some black Americans actually hold weight. He posed a hypothetical question. He said, "I wonder IF" ... Hell, I'm black and I often wonder about the same about the decline of the black family. Bottom line is that we are all slaves in this waning republic, no matter our skin color. Mr. Bundy could have used any racial demographic as an example: Native Americans on reservations, whites in trailer parks, etc. He noticed the crippling effects of receiving government "assistance" and the long term result of accepting handouts. It's not progress at all. I challenge Sean Hannity, Rand Paul, and others to read my comment and reconsider their position in this matter. Individual liberties are at stake here, yours and mine. THAT is the issue. Don't let the liberal media and ignoramuses like Glenn Beck and that weasel Harry Reid make you lose sight of the real issue here: The federal government is a burgeoning behemoth and a bully on a once constitutional playground.

I sincerely hope you real patriots out there who can see through the smoke.

Semper Fidelis
