The BLM sending guys to a ranch with guns?<\/p>\n

Tasering a guy? Tossing a woman to the ground? Establishing a “Free Speech zone?” REALLY? Are you fucking kidding me?<\/p>\n

Supposedly all this over a tortoise?<\/p>\n

Additional information being reported that the BLM has shot & killed more of the tortoises than cattle ever trampled?<\/p>\n

The ranchers family has been in the same place, grazing the same land for over a hundred years?<\/p>\n

Other stories being reported about the BLM tossing two Shoshone women off their land for having a few horses, goats, and cows. The women in question were supposed to be subsistence level farmers and had nothing other than their home and animals.<\/p>\n

\"NewImage\"Another rancher who died mysteriously after winning a law suit against the BLM when they tried to force him off his land? The rancher was quoted as saying “The BLM will never let me spend that settlement.”<\/p>\n

His death followed his wife’s mysterious death in a single car accident on a desert road near their home.<\/p>\n

These are the kinds of stories we’d expect to hear coming out of The old Soviet Union, but these are stories from America.<\/p>\n

We have examples like Ruby Ridge, and Waco where all may not be as was reported and our Government may have over stepped constitutional boundaries.<\/p>\n

Oh let’s not forget Wounded Knee <\/p>\n

Native Americans look at the government with considerable suspicion and they’re justified in doing so. How many treaties were broken?<\/p>\n

How many times did our Government take back land because the powers in that government wanted what was under<\/strong> the land?<\/p>\n

Based on history, I find myself asking what is it the BLM really wants and why do they want it? <\/p>\n

Reports have surfaced implying Senator Harry Reid is somehow involved. I dismissed those reports until Senator Reid made the statement “It’s not over” regarding the Bundy ranch.<\/p>\n

\"NewImage\"<\/p>\n

If he’s not involved why make the comment? Surely a Senate Majority Leader has better things to do with his time, unless he had a personal interest in the outcome the the range war between the Bundy’s and the BLM.<\/p>\n

As I’ve read the material becoming available online ( and I admit readily that digital data is not reliable ) I’ve come to see that the BLM may in fact have prior claim.<\/p>\n

The land in question was aquired via the Treaty of the Guadalupe Hildalgo. However the Bundy family has been grazing on the land in question since the 1880s. <\/p>\n

Who has rights to what is something that the courts have decided or will decide.<\/p>\n

I’m a lot more concerned about the force shown by the government and their apparent willingness to use that force without hesitation.<\/p>\n

I’m concerned about the slow response of the media to the escalating confrontation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
