Wait wait thought this was the funny pic thread.

Well, well. Not my favorite source, but it will do for the moment. Anyone surprised that Dirty Harry might be behind the curtain on this? More of the Democrat machine at work.....

"The Bureau of Land Management, whose director was Sen. Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) former senior adviser, has purged documents from its web site stating that the agency wants Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s cattle off of the land his family has worked for over 140 years in order to make way for solar panel power stations."

Hmmm, do you suppose that this solar company might have some tie-in with Nancy Pelosi's brother-in-law's Nevada solar company? This promises to get more interesting.

If you search deep enough you will see the BLM is selling fracking rights in that area also. Supposedly oil has been found on the land in question and the BLM is itching to auction off the fracking licenses on that land. Guess who keeps the money from the BLM fracking licenses. Thats right, the BLM. This stinks. The FED stinks.
How anyone but a fool would believe anything that comes from any of these crooked alphabet soup agencies is beyond me. The FED fish is rotten from head to tail. The turtles are an excuse , a cover. Who here thinks the BLM really gives a flying fuck about turtles???

 

[nukklehead]

pretty much all of the above... they are selling fracking rights..

Yeaaaa republicans...

And dirty harry is selling out solar farms to the chinese

Yeaaaaa democrats..

we are all fucked if we cant get out of this 2 party 1% er
system we are in..

USA is on its way down and the only thing that will save
it is #1 Term limits #2 a small minority of independents
or constitutionalists to get things done in washington...

Im too tired of the bullshit to go any farther then this...

I have not debt.. I am not rich by any means...

But an 18 trillion dollar deficit seems a bit too big to me
to get out of without some seriously tough times which will
probably result in some form of resistance or hopefully not
anarchy.

BOMBSHELL: Is Sen. Harry Reid Behind the BLM Land Grab of the Bundy Ranch?

Best buddies: Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid with Chinese Vice-Premier Wang Qishan
during what the Washington Post called a “secret, week-long trip to China” in 2011.

by Gina Cassini | Top Right News

Website FreeRepublic Exposes BLM “document dump” that suggests attempted cover-up of Sen. Reid/Chinese gov’t takeover of ranch for solar farm.

The Bureau of Land Management, whose director was Sen. Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) former senior adviser, has purged documents from its web site stating that the agency wants Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s cattle off of the land his family has worked for over 140 years in order to make way for solar panel power stations.



The first segment of the document pulled by the feds from BLM.gov.

Deleted from BLM.gov but reposted for posterity by Free Republic, the BLM document entitled “Cattle Trespass Impacts” directly states that Bundy’s cattle “impacts” solar development, more specifically the construction of “utility-scale solar power generation facilities” on “public lands.”

“Non-Governmental Organizations have expressed concern that the regional mitigation strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone utilizes Gold Butte as the location for offsite mitigation for impacts from solar development, and that those restoration activities are not durable with the presence of trespass cattle,” the document states.


The second segment of the document pulled by the feds from BLM.gov.

Another BLM report entitled Regional Mitigation Strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone (BLM Technical Note 444) reveals that Bundy’s land in question is within the “Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone and surrounding area” which is part of a broad U.S. Department of Energy program for “Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States” on land “managed” by BLM.

“In 2012, the BLM and the U.S. Department of Energy published the Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States,” the report reads. “The Final Solar Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement assessed the impact of utility-scale solar energy development on public lands in the six southwestern states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah.”

Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone and surrounding area (Click to enlarge.)

“The Approved Resource Management Plan Amendments/Record of Decision (ROD) for Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States implemented a comprehensive solar energy program for public lands in those states and incorporated land use allocations and programmatic and SEZ-specific design features into land use plans in the six-state study area.”

Back in 2012, the New American reported that Harry Reid’s son, Rory Reid, was the chief representative for a Chinese energy firm planning to build a $5-billion solar plant on public land in Laughlin, Nevada.

And journalist Marcus Stern with Reuters also reported that Sen. Reid was heavily involved in the deal as well.

“[Reid] and his oldest son, Rory, are both involved in an effort by a Chinese energy giant, ENN Energy Group, to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel manufacturing plant in the southern Nevada desert,” he wrote. “Reid has been one of the project’s most prominent advocates, helping recruit the company during a 2011 trip to China and applying his political muscle on behalf of the project in Nevada.”

“His son, a lawyer with a prominent Las Vegas firm that is representing ENN, helped it locate a 9,000-acre (3,600-hectare) desert site that it is buying well below appraised value from Clark County, where Rory Reid formerly chaired the county commission.”

Although these reports are in plain view, the mainstream media has so far ignored this link.

The BLM’s official reason for encircling the Bundy family with sniper teams and helicopters was to protect the endangered desert tortoise, which the agency has previously been killing in mass due to “budget constraints.”

“A tortoise isn’t the reason why BLM is harassing a 67 year-old rancher; they want his land,” journalist Dana Loesch wrote. “The tortoise wasn’t of concern when [U.S. Senator] Harry Reid worked with BLM to literally change the boundaries of the tortoise’s habitat to accommodate the development of his top donor, Harvey Whittemore.”

“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,” she added. “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.”

Kudos to FreeRepublic, and Jim Robinson, the conservative legend who runs it, for doing Americans this service. The BLM can run, but it can’t hide.

Heathen Mormon? Teabagger? Sorry Hank, no Tea Party affiliation here. I just like to look at both sides of a situation and try and understand it rather than condemning things that I know little or nothing about. The only thing that you are shooting is your feet. When you can take the exact same hate speech and simply interchange the noun, it's time to take a long look at yourself. Face it - you've become the narrow-minded cracker that you always despised.



Gee, I wonder how Bundy feels about the law that he is breaking......

Once again know one has called you anything. Please read more closely. The only thing I call you is wrong.

What total BS this story is....
All this rancher had to do was pay the fee , which it turns out was only about $1.35 a cow per year.
That's right, this only became a situation because this idiot of a farmer
was too stupid and cheap to pay $1,350 per year approximately for
1,000 head of cattle. A ridiculously low fee for using thousands of acres that was not his.
Absurd that even one person is defending this idiot, anyone should be embarrassed for defending such blatant stupidity.

Our government certainly deserves criticism but not even one bit in this case. The fees were extremely low, easily recouped and the idiotic farmer is not being "forced" off the land - it was his stupidity in not paying such minimal fees for 20 years. In any business there are expenses, 1-2 cows a year would have paid for unlimited use of thousands of acres which fed these cattle - the cost of feed on smaller land would far, far exceed the paltry $1,350 per year.

 

[Hank Hemp]

Hey y'all is it true that bundy owes 1.1 millon dollars in rent since '93? Read that on a link one of y'all post. He owes us that much and the BLM has let him get away with that for 20 damn years? We need our money now don't we? Damn free loader. Did his family homestead the land? You homestead didn't each family get 160 acres? What happened to the what 140 acres? Get sold off after 5 years? I'm just wondering, how many acres does it take to raise a head of cattle in that god forsaken place? I'm just saying 1000 head he had to have a lot of our land in use.

lol....... This Bundy character seems to be no different than the folks on welfare, except that they have government permission to take some. (At least so they won't starve, not much more)

Bundy decided for some reason that he was entitled to get more subsidy than the rest of them? What a joke.

Not saying that our Government is anywhere close to perfect.........however, it seems that Bundy's solution helps him and nobody else. From what I can tell he is a true Teabagger, he is against,,,, period.... no solutions except that he found a way to get more than his share.

From what I can tell, the Baggers idea of fair taxation is; Who's the best thief/hires the best lobbyists. Cut the middle class and give even more to the rich.

I thought when the Tea Party was formed, I could get with their efforts. Then I found out that they were funded by the Kock brothers? As I dug deeper I found that they have NO solutions that are even as good as what we have now.

The baggers want to cut Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security (I've been paying into SS for about 50 years now), and they want to school lunches (another Agricultural Subsidy). All this and they insist that abortion is horrible, forgetting that starvation and disease, isn't pretty either. It seems that they want the 'services' of the Federal Government, but don't think that THEY should have to pay for them.

All this seems typical of their Ilk, W ran 2 wars 'off budget'. Nobody complained......until P. Obama raised his right hand..... Then it was OMG, 'look at how far in debt we are'.

So it seems to me that the Bundy's are no more than, or different than the people who are in power..... Take it if you can, then whine when you get caught.

Too bad I'm not closer. Maybe I'd decide to take my payment directly.... But Bundy would probably act like I, was the thief,,,,, much like he is now. Claiming that the BLM is stealing HIS cattle.?

No, those are OUR cattle, not his. HE is the thief.

What was the tax thing with Romney? Seems it boiled down to 'deferred earnings', effectively giving him a lower tax rate than some one making $40-$50K per year? While his deferred earning were of course in the Millions annually.

Of course the 'White Horse Prophecy' is nothing more than a religious goal to turn the U.S. into a theocracy. Morman of course. I'm just not that superstitious. And I've done business with Mormans before. Seems it's all right to lie, cheat and steal.... if it's not from another Morman. We obviously didn't part company on amiable terms.

 

[HUGE]

You retards.he dist pay because they said he couldn't graze. He didn't just wake up one day and say hey I'm it paying. They said you can only graze on this postage stamp so he said FU and stooped paying.

How the B.L.M. Helped the Desert Tortoise in the Mojave..

How the B.L.M. Helped the Desert Tortoise in the Mojave..

So the B.L.M. Decided that they would close some roads to protect the Desert tortoise ...

It's not that any where being killed but they might.

So they dug a two foot deep trench across the road to keep vehicles out.

Guess what happened ... that's right.

They killed a bunch of tortoises that tried to cross the road. They fell into the pit and couldn't get out. Probably the biggest Desert Tortoise Kill in the last 100 years.

It's almost unbelievable, but it shows the mentality of the B.L.M.

Don't get me started join Public Lands for the People plp1.org

 

[HUGE]

They shu off access to the natural spring out there that I grew up swimming in because of the moapa dace fish. Supposubly oldest fish on earth and only lives in moapa. Thenharryreids buddy got a waiver for turtle and built a giant golf course out there in cyote springs with it intent to tap into that natural spring that the residence are banned from using.

 

[HUGE]

Your ath comes to 27,000$ after 20 years. Why does the blm claim he owes a million?

Even if he paid the fees he still would not be allowed to use the whole 600,000 acre free range area shrunk it because if the turtle so he stopped paying.

I guess I must be a retard then, because I just can't understand how I'M wrong.

20 plus years later, he Still hasn't made alternative arrangements for pasture land. Nor apparently, did he reduce his head count to match the size of his deeded pasture?

Somehow I can't square, that he has a RIGHT to pasture my/our land?

I don't view the 'leasing' of public lands as pasture, much differently than leasing them to mining interests either. Nor am I pleased with the idea that we should 'sell off' our public lands.

 

[2 Legal Co]

Huge;
The land was apparently withdrawn from the grazing lease program in 1993? Or am I missing something else here?

I'm trying to understand the situation. Not wanting to be unreasonably biased.

However it would seem that the only way to be on the Bundy side of the affair is to grant him the 'right' to takeover Public Lands for his own benefit?

NOT willing to do that.

 

[rives]

Once again know one has called you anything. Please read more closely. The only thing I call you is wrong.

I've read it closely, and quoted it for you twice now. You called me a teabagger, which is an insulting twist on Tea Party based on an a somewhat odd sexual practice. Now, considering your obvious leanings, you obviously didn't intend the term as an endearment. Additionally, I don't subscribe to any political party - I've always voted for whoever I considered to be the best person for the job regardless of their affiliation. Unfortunately, good people on either side of the aisle are far more endangered than the desert tortoise.

All this rancher had to do was pay the fee , which it turns out was only about $1.35 a cow per year.

No need to quote the remainder of your post since it is all based on this information, which is wrong. You are off by a factor of 12 - it is a monthly fee, not a yearly one.

I continue to be astounded at the responses from a bunch of people who are attracted to this site based on breaking an 80-year old law. Of course, their breaking of that law is morally defensible because it's a bad law, right? And this fellow, whose family has been grazing this land legally for 7 generations and is now on the wrong side of the law because of the bizarre moving target that the government presents (and Harry Reid has apparently decided that he can soak some money out of an alternate use), deserves to be vilified because of his political and religious leanings? What a bunch of unbelievable hypocrites.

 

[Hank Hemp]

Called you nothing I'm not that way. I call that SOB bundy every thing in the book.

 

[StoneyK]

So this guys family got free use of public lands for grazing since 1890?
Then had to start payin in 1993 but told em to f off after 100 years of free use. 20 years later they finally do something an he is crying???
This guy should be in jail.
Right along with all the other big money corporate thieves just like him...
Sells over a million pounds off beef a year an you cant pay to feed your own cattle? Im havin a hard time seeing this guy as a victim. He is hardley some poor rancher just tryin to survive grazing a few head here an there...
Id never side with our government on most issues like this but this time from all the info I have, looks like the rancher is the greedy prick not the government.

Im not saying that there arent ulterior motives like fracking but seems like if he had been paying his fees this would all not even be an issue. I thinks theres more than a little motivation to throw out conspiracy to cloud the issue this which seems to be this guy just doesnt feel like he has to pay to use land thats not his.
He NEVER owned the land so how is he entitled to anything? Id say he should be thankful for 100 years of free use to make millions shut up and pay what he owes.
Why is this guy any different from the multitude of corporate thieves that sit behind a desk and wear suits while they ignore the rules to make money?
He just does it in boots an a cowboy hat. Just cause he doesn't look like the typical corporate thief doesn't mean he isnt actimg like one.
