Harry Reid Describes ‘Vile’ Threats From...


Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has received “vile” and “horrible” threats following his denunciation of Cliven Bundy, the Nevada rancher whose dispute with the federal...






The tense standoff at the Cliven Bundy ranch in Clarke County, Nevada tapped into a wellspring of government distrust that dwarfed Bundy's specific situation. A comparable event from just over 200 years ago, the “Whiskey Rebellion,” suggests the government's efforts to quell small pockets of insurrection like Bundy and his allies can easily cause more political problems than they're worth.

Although the 1794 incident was at a vastly larger scale than the standoff in Bunkerville, Nevada, the situations share important parallels including the use of what many people in each situation considered the disproportionate use of force by the government.
In Bundy's case, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is demanding that Bundy remove his family’s herd of cattle from federal land, due in part to the presence of tortoises, and claims he owes them $300,000 in grazing fees. Bundy claimed he would do “whatever it takes,” to keep using the land, denied the authority of the federal government, and said that his stand is “a statement for freedom and liberty and the Constitution.” While few question the federal government’s legal right to the land, many view it as government overreach and wonder about federal priorities elevating tortoises over human beings.
In response, a veritable army of hundreds of federal officers and helicopters arrived and began rounding up Bundy’s cattle, intentionally killing several of them. Following a four-day standoff in which both the federal agents and Bundy supporters had trained snipers on each other, the federal government abruptly backed off, at least for now.
BLM has come under fire for aggressive tactics across the West. Texas Attorney General said of the BLM’s plan to seize 90,000 acres of land along the Texas/Oklahoma state line “out of bounds” and “offensive.” Abbot said he would “raise a ‘Come and Take It’ flag to tell the feds to stay out of Texas.” Several groups have also claimed that they are “prepared” to resist the BLM with deadly force in self-defense if the agency tries to take land from farmers in Nevada and Texas.
BLM supporters, meanwhile, have heaped invective on Bundy, with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) calling the rag-tag group “domestic violent terrorist wannabes.”
In what came to be called the Whiskey Rebellion, a federalized militia force of over 10,000 men entered the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in October 1794 to crush a “rebellion” of small-time western farmers and merchants that had been delinquent on their alcohol excise taxes and nearly riotous in their opposition to government policies.
Though the overwhelming force of the federal government quickly dispersed the small band of aggrieved farmers, the event marked a significant turning point over which budding national party lines were drawn and a political dynasty was created.
The “insurrection” began in 1791 when Congress passed an excise tax on distilled whiskey with the firm backing of President George Washington and Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton’s plan was to federalize the debt accumulated by the states during the Revolutionary War and pay it off through a variety of measures, including domestic taxation. On top of that, Hamilton wanted to fund a more widespread extension of government investment in the new country’s military and infrastructure. The tax was excessively high--about 25 percent per gallon of whiskey--and encountered almost immediate opposition. Supporters of the plan began to coalesce on one side, Alexander Hamilton’s “Federalists,” and opponents on the other, Thomas Jefferson’s “Republicans.”
Hamilton argued that the tax was the most equitable that could be devised and if the taxed citizens did not like it they could stop drinking whiskey. Though the tax fell heavily on New England and New York rum distillers, it was in large part aimed at the predominantly Scotch-Irish frontiersmen in the West who had dubious respect for the newly-created federal government. He said to Congress in 1792 that it was up to the frontiersmen themselves to “diminish consumption,” but the administration would support and collect the tax.
The frontiersman did not see it that way; one of them said, “To be subject to all the burdens of government and enjoy none of the benefits arising from government is what we will never submit to.”
Supporters of the excise tax measure trotted out a study by the College of Physicians of Philadelphia that backed Hamilton’s claims about the usefulness of the tax and the detriments of alcohol usage. However, James Jackson of Georgia, a dogged opponent of the treasury secretary’s entire plan, said that the American people had a right to get drunk, “that they have been long in the habit of getting drunk and that they will get drunk in defiance of a dozen colleges or all the excise duties which Congress might be weak or wicked enough to impose.”
But the cost to rural American inhabitants in America was far greater than simply losing the ability to get wildly inebriated. Most of the resistance came from the rural west where whiskey was acting as a medium of exchange for the cash-poor citizens and was a primary means of earning a living. Large distillers, mostly in the East, had fewer problems with the tax because they had lucrative contracts with the government to supply whiskey to the army and already had a large, commercial advantage over their small-time competition.
Western Pennsylvania became particularly agitated and many were organizing to resist the hated taxes. Historian John H. Miller wrote in The Federalist Era:
In four western counties of Pennsylvania, excise officers were terrorized; the Pittsburgh mail was robbed; federal judicial proceedings were stopped; and a small body of regular troops guarding the house of General John Neville, excise inspector for western Pennsylvania, was forced to surrender.
On top of the riotous western farmers, the Washington administration was the rise of “democratic-republican” societies. These groups, springing up all over the country, were civic-patriotic organizations that were upset about the growth of government, perceived betrayal of America’s revolutionary principles by their newly-elected leaders, and were generally supportive of the budding French Revolution.
Washington and his cabinet were convinced that these democratic-republican civic organizations were the cause of all the trouble. The president said, “I early gave it as my opinion to the confidential characters around me, that if these societies are not counteracted (not by prosecutions, the ready way to make them grow stronger)… they would shake the government to its foundation.”
These perceived threats to the power of the government pushed Washington’s administration to suppress the law breakers, putting out a call to assemble a national militia.
Historian Miller wrote that Hamilton “knew that he was committing the government to a trial of strength with Westerners, but he deliberately courted the contest” to display the power and legitimacy of the federal government. Goaded by Hamilton, Washington assembled one of the largest armies built in America up until that time. The president, with the treasury secretary by his side, would lead this force from the capitol in Philadelphia into to wilds of western Pennsylvania. The size of the assembled army was astounding given the importance of a smattering of incidents instigated by a few frustrated malcontents.
The massive force, called the “Watermelon Army” by detractors, marched through Pennsylvania, rounded up about 30 “rebels” and generally made a mess as they went through. The army “broke down fences, trampled crops, and stole food, firewood, and shelter.”
Prominent Federalist Fisher Ames warned his colleagues of the incident’s potential impact:
A regular government, by overcoming an unsuccessful insurrection, becomes stronger; but elective rulers can scarcely ever employ the physical force of a democracy without turning the moral force, or the power of public opinion, against the government.
Historians have given various assessments of federal government’s reasonableness and necessity for acting with such overwhelming force in this situation. The great biographer of Thomas Jefferson, Dumas Malone, gave his assessment of the incident:
Since no opposition was encountered, this ostentatious military display now appears disproportionate if not ridiculous, and modern students of the episode can readily perceive the pathos of the situation of the small farmers in the transmontane country, faced with a hated tax on what was their only marketable product and virtually their medium of exchange.
Most leaders, and Americans throughout the country, supported some kind of suppression of the lawbreakers. However, a group of statesmen, sympathizing with the plight of the aggrieved farmers, began to take aim at the government’s callous and overbearing attitude toward citizens in the western country. They viewed the sudden expansion of government power as a blow to the principles fought for during the Revolution, and worried about a government quick to pull the trigger on legitimate freedom of assembly and protest.
According to the historian Malone, Jefferson attacked the excise tax an “infernal tax” and said that the “conduct of the ‘rebels’ no worse than riotous.” He and many others called for an elimination or reduction of the hated excise taxes.
Western Pennsylvania had its own Jeffersonian hero in Albert Gallatin. A Swiss immigrant whom had moved the United States due to his belief in the timeless principles of the American Revolution and for economic opportunity, Gallatin became a leading champion of the western, middle-class farmers without outright endorsing their acts of rebellion.
Gallatin was a moderating presence in Pennsylvania, always denouncing the scattered calls for violence, but relentlessly attacking the policies of Hamilton and the administration. Gallatin explained to the frustrated westerners that the danger to their liberties was not as extreme as 1776 when they had no representation in official elected bodies and “that illegal opposition, when reduced, has a tendency to make people abject and the government tyrannic.”
However, Federalists made Gallatin out to be a wild-eyed rebel, a rabble rouser and fomenter of violence who wanted to bring down the government. The Federalist-backed Gazette of the United States caustically wrote that western Pennsylvania had become known as “a center of terrorism under the guiding hand of Albert Gallatin.”
These attacks were assuredly misguided. Thomas Slaughter wrote in The Whiskey Rebellion, that despite Gallatin’s “dedication to Revolutionary principles,” he “strongly recommended adherence to the law.” The protest leaders such as Gallatin, “sought to communicate their loyalty to the principles under which the Revolution was fought, even while questioning the dedication to liberty of those who now ruled the land.”
From the scattered protests of leaders like Jefferson and Gallatin, a new party was formed to oppose the administration. Panicked Federalists, sensing the rise in support for “Republican” opposition, started to become more repressive in their tactics. Federalists passed the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798 under President John Adams in response to the Republican protest during the short “Quasi War” with France, which severely curtailed civil liberties. The acts targeted Jefferson’s supporters, specifically Gallatin. The political storm was growing, and Jefferson and Madison wrote the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, calling out the laws as unconstitutional and repressive.
The Resolutions became a kind of political platform for the new party, and a massive wave of supporters was swept into office in 1798. That year’s wave election became known as the “Revolution of ‘98” and marked a major change in American politics. Jefferson was elected president in 1800 and appointed and Gallatin as his treasury secretary.
Jefferson’s administration eliminated the hated excise tax and all domestic taxation. On top of that, they established a political dynasty that lasted over two decades and completely demolished the Federalists. The Jeffersonians tapped into the passion of the democratic-republican societies and listened to the frustration of the whisky rebels; by giving a voice to these people, they built a lasting political coalition. “Federalist” became a dirty word to call political opponents in the following era and the party became associated with oppression and elitism.
The disproportionate response to an agitated farmer makes the federal government appear overbearing, especially when a lien on his property and cattle would have likely sufficed to uphold the law. Leaders such as Sens. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul have channeled the Tea Party and the protests against the BLM to effectively oppose the policies of the administration much the way Jefferson and Gallatin did.
Supporters of the government’s policies have tried to discredit opposition by targeting Bundy’s specific statements, radical tactics, and racial views, which were mostly denounced by serious conservative and libertarian leaders. However, the administration’s supporters will struggle to bottle up the very real frustration with overbearing and intrusive governmental policies that are at the heart of the issue.
Opponents of BLM land and bureaucratic environmental policies may be relentlessly attacked and dismissed by political opponents, but their willingness to enter the political arena and stand against the government taps into a rich vein in American politics. Like Thomas Jefferson’s party that started out with western discontent and scattered civic societies, those that tap into current opponents of government overreach may be able to create a lasting, powerful coalition for 2014 and beyond.

I--Team: Police say Bundy ranch protesters not off the hook



Posted: Apr 30, 2014 5:45 PM PDT Updated: Apr 30, 2014 10:55 PM PDT By George Knapp, Chief Investigative Reporter - bio | email












Sgt. Tom Jenkins


Assistant Sheriff Joe Lombardo

• I-Team: Bundy's 'ancestral rights' come under scrutiny
• The Bundy 'militia': Who are they?
• Armed guards surround Bundy, supporters fear imminent threat

LAS VEGAS -- Metro Police officers who were on the front lines of a recent showdown near the Bundy ranch in Bunkerville say they feared for their lives.
At least some of the militia members who pointed weapons at police officers during the confrontation may have wanted a violent outcome and tried to incite one.
In exclusive interviews with the 8 News NOW I-Team, officers who were on the scene shared their thoughts and fears, and they say it is not over.
"These guys with rifles, keep them calm," was Clark County Assistant Sheriff Joe Lombardo's request to one of Bundy's sons the day of the confrontation.
Lombardo's top priority was to prevent a spark that might set off a bloody firefight.
"There was a possibility of somebody just having an accidental discharge causing a blood bath, because the individuals that were showing up, the militia quote unquote, were armed to the teeth," Lombardo said.
On one side, armed federal rangers and agents, on the other, a huge crowd of angry militia members and in the middle, 30 Metro officers, exposed and vulnerable, aware that if the shooting began, some of them would die.
"You are standing there going, 'I just hope it doesn't hurt when it comes. That it's quick,' and it was real for us. It was real," Sgt. Tom Jenkins said.
"(You thought you might die?) Yeah." Sgt. Jenkins said.
Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie has been negotiating behind the scenes with rancher Cliven Bundy for a couple of years. On the morning of the big showdown, he and Joe Lombardo drove to Bunkerville to let Bundy know that a deal had been reached with Bureau of Land Management to suspend the roundup of Bundy's cattle.
Bundy, who has grown accustomed to media attention over the past few months, said he would only talk to Gillespie on stage in front of his crowd. Once there, he ordered the sheriff to go out and disarm every fed he could find.

"And report back in an hour. Disarm everyone working at a federal park," Bundy told the sheriff.
"I mean, the hair was up on the back of my neck. There was the so-called militia surrounding the stage. There was a lot of firepower out there and it made me nervous. anything could happen," Lombardo said.
Gillspie and Lombardo say they offered to provide Bundy with legal counsel---free. He turned it down and later urged the crowd to go after his cattle.
"Mr. Bundy, in my personal opinion, incited the crowd," Lombardo said.
Some of them didn't need much to get riled. Their hostility toward government was on full display. A few equate the BLM with Nazis.
"That bunch, the SS squad or something to do with Hitler, shouldn't have guns there aimed at the people," one man at the showdown said.
They were equally hostile to journalists covering the story. Pistol-packing militia men have blocked 8 News NOW's access to public roads. Some poured lighter fluid around our news vehicle while others got physical.
A few Oath keepers said they were told the White House had ordered a drone missile strike on the Bundy camp. In an atmosphere this hostile and paranoid, guns pointed at police became the norm.
"At some point, you have to draw a line in the sand. I guess this is it," one militia member said.
"They're armed, they have an agenda, and they're committed to whatever they believe in, no backing down. One or two of them would never have done what they did--point weapons at us--but when you have 300-400 and they can be anonymous in a crowd, you get caught up in that," Sgt. Jenkins said.
Lombardo confirms that Metro developed a lot of intelligence about militia members who were present. Those who aimed their guns at officers will be dealt with.
"Yes, there will be consequences, definitely. That is unacceptable behavior. If we let it go, it will continue into the future," Lombardo said.
Law enforcement sources told us that federal officials are preparing to move against Cliven Bundy, but they might wait months until things die down before making their move.
Metro Police could take separate action in response to the provocations they experienced in Bunkerville and may be working to identify particular suspects.

Oh my, nothing was mentioned about the 200 well armed BLM'ers who showed up to go after Bundy his Family and steal his cattle and damage his property. Guess they didn't like it when his friends showed up to stop it!!!!!

Disarm BLM & IRS? Utah Congressman Chris Stewart Pushes for it

Tim Brown April 30, 2014

Republican Utah Congressman Chris Stewart, in referencing the standoff at the Bundy Ranch, said that the Bureau of Land Management does not need a heavily armed police force. In the light of what has taken place in the past couple of weeks, Stewart, a member of the House Appropriations Committee and freshman congressman, says that he will make an effort to cut funding for "paramilitary units" in the BLM, Internal Revenue Service and other federal agencies. He will also require these agencies to work with local law enforcement, instead of bringing in their own armed troops.
"There are lots of people who are really concerned when the BLM shows up with its own SWAT team," Stewart said. "They're regulatory agencies; they're not paramilitary units, and I think that concerns a lot of us."

The Salt Lake Tribune reported:

Stewart, who insists he isn't taking sides in the Bundy showdown, says he was shocked to see the government's response and believes it led to the civilian militia that showed up to defend the rancher. But Stewart says agencies such as the BLM should defer to local police for muscle instead of bringing in their own.

"They should do what anyone else would do," Stewart said. "Call the local sheriff, who has the capability to intervene in situations like that."

Stewart, a freshman lawmaker seeking a second term this election year, could find powerful friends in his targeting of such special-force units in government agencies. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., told WHAS radio of Louisville, that the feds shouldn't have "48 federal agencies carrying weapons and having SWAT teams."

The Interior Department stressed Tuesday that the BLM and National Park Service had law enforcement personnel present during the Bundy cattle roundup to provide safety for their employees and the public.

Interior Department Spokeswoman Jessica Kershaw said that that the BLM does not have SWAT or tactical teams and that the agency does work with local law enforcement due to the fact that they have about 300 officers in their agency who provide support to 245 million acres of public land.
"Partnerships and coordination with local law enforcement are a key part of the equation, not just because it's good government, but because of the need to leverage limited resources."

"It's certainly worth something to examine, but we come up against the old adage: Be careful what you wish for," said Pat Shea, who oversaw the BLM under Bill Clinton, of Stewart's plan. "Besides the military, we could end up with a national police force. That could make black helicopters look like biplanes."
Militias rolled out from across the country as the feds brought in hundreds of armed agents and snipers against the Bundys and protesters. Hundreds of Oath Keepers also made the journey to Bunkerville when called upon. The result was that the BLM pulled back, though many believe that is only temporary.
A no-fly zone remains in effect until May 11, and there have been reports by Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes of alleged drone strikes on the ranch. Those reports have yet to materialize so far.
One thing if for sure. There is absolutely no need for the federal government to bring armed agents in against US citizens in the manner they did at the Bundy Ranch. If the man actually has committed a crime, then charge him and take him to court for it. Otherwise, leave him alone. So far, all court proceedings have been administrative, not judicial. Sources say the reason for that is that the BLM believes Bundy may actually have prescriptive rights, something that would leave the BLM without a case against Bundy.
We can hope that the people of the United States and our representatives would wake up, especially in light of us pointing out that former Texas Congressman Ron Paul warned about this kind of thing, specifically pointing out arming the BLM, nearly two decades ago. My guess is that big government won't want to let go of its guns; they'll just want to continue their march against ours.
Congressman Stewart is also up for re-election in 2014.

Smoking BLM Gun – Public Records – Harry Reid Owns 93 Acres Next to Bundy Ranch

Posted on 1 May, 2014 by Rick Wells


While Senator Harry Reid professes that he is running the Bundy cattle off of public land because it’s the right thing to do, evidence indicates that Dirty Harry might have a personal interest in seeing that the Bundy’s join the other 52 ranchers they’ve run out of business.
Parcels held by an entity, Reid Bunkerville, LLC, which is partially owned by the Nevada Senator are in close proximity to the Bundy ranch.
The parcels appear to be in the path of future development, which may even involve a freeway interchange and loop, all west of Bunkerville in the same general area as those “trespass cattle.”
The parcel numbers below link to the Clark County Assessor’s Office, with all of the pertinent information and property descriptions shown.
They total 93.33 acres in size.

BUNDY RANCH: Federal Probe of Militia



NextNewsNetwork·2,708 videos







Published on May 2, 2014
Donate USD: http://nnn.is/donate-dollars | A congressman is seeking a federal probe of armed militia at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada, claiming the armed citizens set up traffic checkpoints. A standoff took place at the ranch, over grazing rights and land use issues. A citizen militia protecting the property caused the Bureau of Land Management to retreat.

Since the end of the standoff, militia members have kept a close watch on the property. Steven Horsford, a congressman from Las Vegas, is claiming the citizens are stopping drivers, asking for identification.

The lawmaker has asked the local sheriff to investigate the allegations, which also include reports of militia in local schools.

Horsford said, "We must respect individual constitutional liberties, but residents of and visitors to Clark County should not be expected to live under the persistent watch of an armed militia." (1)

Those at the ranch say the Congressman is exaggerating the actions taken by the citizen army, located 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas.

Ammon Bundy, the son of rancher Clive Bundy, told Reuters "They have sidearms, but they are not carrying rifles. But going down to churches and schools, or stopping people on the road, that's not happening."

In the letter, the congressman claims his constituents want the armed militia to leave the area, although he did not back up his statement.

Ammon told the press he believes the standoff could continue for months, or even years, as the federal government continues to try to collect grazing fees.

Reid Bunkerville LLC Exposed: Is This Why Bundy Ranch Was Targeted?


Thursday, May 1, 2014 7:06
(Before It's News)
By Susan Duclos

(Before It’s News Exclusive) Public land records obtained by Before It’s News show a corporate entity partially owned by Senator Harry Reid is the owner of over 93 acres of undeveloped land within several miles of the Clliven Bundy ranch. Reid Bunkerville, LLC is listed as the current owner of four parcels of land on the west side of Bunkerville are within several miles of the Bundy ranch. This area appears to be slated for development in the future.

While this will be explained, parcels numbers provided along with ownership proof, it is encouraged for everyone reading to go through the information, the documents provided, visit the links and come to their own conclusions, because this is just the data from public records.

It tells a story of a man, Cliven Bundy, seemingly in the way of some lucrative business deals.

Below are the parcel numbers of land which the Clark County Assessors Office lists as owned by Reid Bunkerville, LLC, who coincidentally updated their company records on April 17, 2014. The parcel map with ownership data will be shown for the three parcels Reid Bunkerville, LLC owns, below the linked parcel numbers.

REID BUNKERVILLE L L C DST-901 #002-26-301-002

REID BUNKERVILLE L L C DST-800 #002-26-301-004

REID BUNKERVILLE L L C DST-800 #002-26-301-005

REID BUNKERVILLE L L C DST-800 #002-26-701-001




To put some of this into context and to provide readers a starting point on why parcels and ownership listings are not only important but should be researched extensively, please note that three of those four parcel numbers above are listed as Bunkerville jurisdiction, where Mr. Cliven Bundy’s ranch is located.

Parcels above and below are listed as owned by USA, jurisdiction listed as Mesquite, two examples of that shown below.

USA #002-26-202-001

USA #002-26-301-001

The last one listed above for Reid Bunkerville, LLC, (REID BUNKERVILLE L L C DST-800 #002-26-701-001) directly borders another parcel in Bunkerville, and shows the “owner” as Bureau of Land Management (BLM), not the USA as the examples above are.

REID BUNKERVILLE L L C DST-800 #002-26-701-001

BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT #002-26-601-002



According to descriptions of the BLM, their job is to “administer” or “manage” public lands, yet they are listed as “owners” of the parcel directly connected to the Reid Bunkerville parcel.

It is also noteworthy that a Google map from Mesquite Nevada, through Bunkerville, down to Riverside, goes up to a fully functional and built intersection that loops back around to Mesquite, shown in the image below.


Zoning and development are driven by “business loops”, which use high speed intersections from freeways that cost taxpayers millions of dollars. These can instantly raise property values for landowners in the right place who know where the development is going to happen. Decisions for the infrastructure are controlled by state and local and generally involve money from the federal government.

Below is a comprehensive report of properties owned by Reid Bunkerville Trust and Reid Bunkerville LLC, showing over 30 properties in the Bunkerville and Mesquite area.
