Re: 150 Militia Take Over Makhuer National Wildlife Preserve Headquarters
Land Management, and 67 year-old rancher Cliven Bundy. (If not, check the backstory and my radio interview with him here.) The BLM asserts their power through the expressed desire to protect the endangered desert tortoise, a tortoise so "endangered" that their population can no longer be contained by the refuge constructed for them so the government is closing it and euthanizing over a thousand tortoises. The tortoises, the excuse that BLM has given for violating claims to easements and running all but one lone rancher out of southern Nevada, is doing fine. In fact, the tortoise has lived in harmony with cattle in the Gold Butte, Clark County Nevada for over a hundred years, or as long as Cliven Bundy's family has lived on the land as ranchers. In fact, the real threat to it is urbanization, not cattle. A tortoise isn't the reason why BLM is harassing a 67 year-old rancher. They want his land. The tortoise wasn't of concern when Harry Reid worked BLM to literally change the boundaries of the tortoise's habitat to accommodate the development of his top donor, Harvey Whittemore. Whittemore was convicted of illegal campaign contributions to Senator Reid. Reid's former senior adviser is now the head of BLM. Reid is accused of using the new BLM chief as a puppet to control Nevada land (already over 84% of which is owned by the federal government) and pay back special interests. BLM has proven that they've a situational concern for the desert tortoise as they've had no problem waiving their rules concerning wind or solar power development. Clearly these developments have vastly affected a tortoise habitat more than a century-old, quasi-homesteading grazing area. If only Clive Bundy were a big Reid donor. BLM has also tried to argue that the rules have changed, long after Bundy claims he secured rights and paid his dues to Clark County, Nevada. BLM says they supersede whatever agreement Bundy had prior; they demanded that he reduce his living, his thousand-some-odd head of cattle down to a tiny herd of 150. It's easy for the government to grant itself powers of overreach, but it doesn't make it right. Many bad things are done in the name of unjust laws. Just look at Obamacare

Re: 150 Militia Take Over Makhuer National Wildlife Preserve Headquarters
Yeah is what I see correct, they went and took over some other national wildlife refuge to make a point?
why not just protect what the original owner's ranch and grazing/watering that was setup originally, until he has an appeal?
seems they're overreaching and will endup making an example out of themselves, big gov. will love the result.

Those comments... Are they all that stupid or am I missing something obvious?

How do we know those are not bots driving perception management??
Could be a combination of both real and spoofed.

Re: 150 Militia Take Over Makhuer National Wildlife Preserve Headquarters
Hopefully they will peaceably take over the wildlife refuge, but refuse peace on the ranch.
I have a feeling from what I'm reading they mean force business on both places.
