BLM RETREAT – WE THE PEOPLE WIN OPENING BATTLE

Is this our Lexington & Concord?

 

In an epic standoff that Infowars reporter David Knight described as being like “something out of a movie,” supporters of Nevada cattle rancher Cliven Bundy advanced on a position held by BLM agents despite threats that they would be shot at, eventually forcing BLM feds to release 100 cattle that had been stolen from Bundy as part of a land grab dispute that threatened to escalate into a Waco-style confrontation.

Now that the REAL reason for this govt theft is coming out, I am astounded at how crooked and greedy the likes of “Senator” Reid is. That a psychopath like him is in charge of 1/3 of the Ongoing Criminal Conspiracy aka Federales is a very good reason why this country is so fucked up!

The Regime Doesn’t Handle Defeat Gracefully
By William Norman Grigg
April 14, 2014
When the ATF attacked the Branch Davidians outside Waco in February 1993, the expectation was a quick and painless victory over an eccentric religious sect and a public relations boost for the scandal-plagued agency. This is why the assault was code-named “Showtime.”

The Davidians, however, refused to follow the script. When the ATF stormtroopers arrived at the sect’s sanctuary at Mt. Carmel, David Koresh – who had known of the impending assault, and released an ATF informant rather than holding him as a hostage — attempted to de-escalate the confrontation, only to be answered by a murderous volley of gunfire. Rather than allowing themselves to be shackled or slaughtered, the Davidians stood their ground, killing four of the assailants in a morally unassailable exercise of self-defense and forcing the ATF to retreat.

Because the Regime cannot countenance resistance, the FBI laid siege to the Davidians for 51 days before the final assault that left of scores of Davidians dead from fire, asphyxiation, and gunfire.

In 1973, a band of Sioux activists at Wounded Knee held off the FBI and the US military for 71 days, demanding respect for their rights under treaty law, accountability for the corruption of federally installed tribal dictator Dickie Wilson, and investigation of unsolved murders. The Feds replied with the largest domestic military deployment since the last confrontation at Wounded Knee in December 1890, an undisguised slaughter carried out by the vengeful Seventh Cavalry that amounted to an American Babi Yar.

In response to the 1973 protests, Armed FBI agents, U.S. Marshals, SWAT teams, and teams of Wilson’s paramilitary “GOON Squad” formed an iron ring around the village of Wounded Knee. Colonel Vic Jackson, head of the Pentagon’s Civil Disorder Management School, was called upon by the FBI to implement the notorious “Operation Garden Plot” martial law blueprint. The FBI’s plan called for the Army would invade and “pacify” the village before the FBI went in to “arrest” whoever might survive the onslaught. Armored Personnel Carriers were on hand to deal with what were described as “bunkers” (and were, in fact, root cellars). Phantom F-4 jets flew low-altitude reconnaissance runs over the town.

At one point, the Bureau ordered the media to leave the area and then warned the occupiers to send out their women and children. The anticipated massacre might well have been thwarted by the presence of local white residents whom the FBI called “hostages” – but who were there voluntarily in order to protect their supposed captors from the Feds.

Over the next two years, the Feds were unable to convict the “ringleaders” of the Wounded Knee protest in court. So the FBI, following its COINTELPRO playbook, abetted internecine conflicts within the Indian resistance and carried out a campaign of low-intensity warfare that left several innocent people dead.

In 2003, when the Power Elite in Washington stretched out its hand a second time to confer the blessings on “democracy” on the people of Iraq, the city of Fallujah was one of the first targets of this exercise in murderous generosity. Bridges were bombed, schools and homes were seized by Washington’s armed missionaries of armed benevolence, and Blackwater mercenaries abused and killed innocent people with arrogant abandon.

Fallujah residents reacted by killing several Blackwater operators and organizing small but effective resistance cells. This defiant ingratitude provoked the stern chastisement of Washington, which encircled the city and visited Carthaginian destruction on it.

Like any bully, the Regime in Washington chooses its battles carefully, generally avoiding fights with opponents capable of fighting back. But it will not accept defeat when clearly in the wrong. This is something Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his supporters should remember.

Rules of the Game vs. Gaming the Rules

When it comes to the war we’re in, one way I think about “us and them” is that we (the good guys) are intent on abiding by, upholding, and enforcing the rules (the Constitution), whereas the other side is intent on subverting the rules. I.e., we respect the rules of the game and see it in everyone’s best interest that those rules apply equally to everyone. Our enemies, on the other hand, have only one interest at heart—accumulating power (and wealth)—and therefore see the rules as something to be overcome.

The confusion—at least for the cattle—lies in the fact that the bad guys seem to be the ones wanting to enforce the rules while we’re painted as lawless savages. How does this happen?

It happens because our laws have become nothing but a web of trickery designed to conceal the true motives of the power-hungry; a deliberate muddying of the waters; a fog of sophistry designed specifically to confound the uninitiated.

And our courts are nothing but rubber stamps for these deceitful laws, giving the uninitiated the false comfort that all is well.

So when a situation like the Bundy Ranch develops, the MSM line is that the Bundy’s were breaking the law, whereas the government was in the [legal] right. They (the government and their mouthpieces, the MSM) will site statutes and court cases and SCOTUS decisions and all sorts of legalistic gobbledygook that amounts to a hill of beans, but is taken as proof that the government, not the private citizen, has the moral authority.

An easy way to get the cattle to begin thinking is to ask them what the spirit of the US Constitution is. There is one clear answer to this, and it goes something like this: to ensure individual liberty via a strictly limited federal government. Follow this up with a question relevant to the issue at hand (in this case, the Bundy Ranch saga): Does the federal government’s acquisition of 84% of Nevada land, charging ranchers in the millions of dollars for using those lands, and then training snipers on them while confiscating their cattle for not paying those exorbitant fees sound like a government that is abiding by the spirit of the Constitution—yes or no?

In short, look not at what the law says; look at what it does. If it expands federal power (without an amendment) while infringing on the freedom of citizens, then it runs counter to the Constitution—no matter what some smooth-talking, multi-millionaire, career politician says.

The trick is trying to find winning legal arguments within a court system that’s every bit as corrupt as the rest of our government.

I’ve run cattle on blm controlled public land in southeast Oregon for years. BLM in this country has taken on more of a role of managing range land for wildlife as well as cattle. While I haven’t liked the cutbacks in numbers I could run, I do recognize that someone has to balance the use of the range. Here, the blm does just about all the range land improvements, including improving water sources.

As a hunter I can also see the effects of overgrazing and how quickly cattle can dry up a water hole causing deer and other game to abandon the area, and with this loss of habitat comes loss of population over time. The ongoing drought in the west is exasperating these problems.

I’ve got to say that many cattlemen are like anyone else,and will take every blade of grass from where ever and whoever for their own cattle and profit if given the chance. This has been a tough business financially for decades and every dollar counts.

Finally, the blm has allowed Bundy to do as he pleases on something like 160,000 acres of public land for twenty five years at no cost. He owns 150 acres. If he gets to do that, why can’t I and everyone else do the same?

It ain’t about grazing rights, or some fucking turtle that ain’t any different than any other turtle, or lack of ‘fees’ being paid (even though Mr. Bundy’s family has used that land long, long before there was any such thing as the BLM…

It’s about money and that fucking puke Reid and his larvae, Rory Reid…

See, Rory Reid is a lawyer whose fronting for a Chink energy conglomerate called ENN Group. That fuck Harry Reid actually went to China to schmooze with the chinks and hammer out a deal where ENN Group would build a 5 billion (with a “b”) dollar solar farm and manufacturing plant in (wait for it) the Nevada desert.

Guess who used to be the County Commissioner where this alleged “solar farm” and factory will be located? Why, none other than Rory Reid, larvae of Harry Reid! And who brokered the deal where the chinks got to buy 9,000 acres (yep, 9,000 acres. Roughly 650 square acres is a square mile, so do the math to find out how many square miles the chinks bought. By the way, this is supposed to be “public” land… soooooo, yeah.. ).

Guess what lives on that land right now? Why, the “endangered” turtles-in-question.

Guess where those “endangered” turtles are going to be ‘relocated’ in preparation for the solar farm and factory? Yep, you guessed it – the land Cliven Bundy uses for grazing his cattle.

See, Harry Reid – along with some rich muckity-muck donor – actually redrew the ‘range’ of the ‘endangered’ desert turtle to make room for this solar farm scam… Reid Sr, is reported to be ‘heavily invested’ in this solar farm/factory scam.

So, it ain’t about turtles or unpaid “fees” or improvements or wildlife or any of that shit. It’s about a corrupt old piece of SHIT named Harry Reid and his equally corrupt piece of SHIT offspring colluding together to rip off the US and scam shattering amounts of money.

Harry fucking Reid is using the BLM as his personal group of enforcer thugs and goons to beat down a rancher who actually DARED to tell the government to fuck off..

“…lies in the fact that the bad guys seem to be the ones wanting to enforce the rules while we’re painted as lawless savages. How does this happen?”

It’s the same bullshit as when a copfuk thug has a citizen handcuffed face-down on the sidewalk and he’s beating the shit out of them with a baton, while screaming “STOP RESISTING!!!!” Like that fucking weak-assed Jedi mind trick bullshit is gonna work on anyone… ain’t nobody believing that hot garbage…

underfire, I am from Oregon and I know what you’re talking about. The BLM has actually done some good in eastern oregon restoring riparian areas that as you pointed out, had been denuded of vegetation by overgrazing.

Although my preference would be to eliminate federal management of state lands and preferably put it in private hands as was done a century and a half ago with the louisiana purchase, my opinion is that ranches like Bundy’s which pre-date federal management, should be grandfathered as far as fees are concerned; if they had been doing a poor job of conserving the habitat and water resources, the results would have been evident many years ago.

At the Bundy six…
http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/

But I would like to draw your attention to the photos from the I-15 bridges that I added to the post below. Observe the BLM thugs behind their SUVs and ballistic shields with weapons out and trained on the crowd in the first panoramic view. Then observe the rancher/militia counter-snipers in position, shown in the second photo. This is Ruby Ridge and Waco in reverse and in fact is proof of my long-standing contention that there will be no more free Wacos. I’m told that when the BLM pulled out, their convoy had to run a gauntlet of the crowd, who sent them on their way with appropriate hand signals and catcalls. Ignominious failure must have tasted pretty bitter to the bully boys and their bosses. All they needed was Cornwallis’ fifes and drums playing “The World Turned Upside Down.”

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. This heavy-handed tactic has run the other ranchers from the area and now Bundy is the last one. He’s the last one because he stood up to the federal government.

So why does BLM want to run Bundy off this land and is Reid connected?
