BLM Plans to Take 90,000 Acres From Texas Ranchers

The BLM can just GTFO of Texas.

I like the Texas Governor, Abbot. I'm curious to see what he does about this. The Feds can take any and all property, any day of the week from anyone. I will never own land again. They just took a creek on my brother in law's land and 50' of land on both sides of the creek. That land has been in their family forever, it seems. If there is a drop of water, the Feds EPA own it.

Henderson lost a lawsuit 30 years ago that moved part of the northern Texas border over a mile to the south.

The Bureau of Land Management [BLM] took 140 acres of his property and didn’t pay him one cent.

Sounds like he didn't vote hard enough.

Lemme see if I get this straight. The river moved and some landowners got free additional acreage. The government is saying they aren't entitled to those gains they got even if it happened over a long time.

So sad and fucked up.

Does that mean you would work with other Americans to stop it?

All that is needed is our agreement on constitutional intent to control our states then an Article V convention controlled by them to alter or abolish the current federal government by amending the constitution properly.

The very first step is the peoples agreement on the most prime constitutional intent which lawfully facilitates assurance all state legislators will work to see that intent in all amendments they propose and ratify. Big, but simple job.

That agreement is simple Americana viewed from a logical perspective separate from partisan politics and it makes "the people the rightful masters of the congress and the courts". Just like Lincoln said.

If you can agree and accept that the framers intended for us to alter or abolish government destructive to unalienable rights and that free speech has the ultimate purpose of enabling us to unify adequately to alter or abolish government so powerful can destructive to our unalienable rights, we ca get started.

I'm sure those Texans and a bunch of other people being run over by the BLM would appreciate the help.

#1 Repeat of Bundy incident about to occur in Texas

#2 I wonder if its not about a dispute between state borders, land, or even a grab of power. Its starting to sound like FEMA Region development. Is any of the Territory in dispute in a position where it may hold Military significance?

Agenda 21 resource grab. Time for a lawful and peaceful revolution to stop it, and a whole lot more.

Texas Ranchers, Counties Sue Feds Over BLM Land Grab
http://www.infowars.com/texas-ranchers-counties-sue-feds-over-blm-land-grab/

Multiple ranchers, a sheriff and several Texas counties are suing the federal government for unconstitutionally attempting to seize thousands of acres of private property along the Red River.

Claiming the US Bureau of Land Management is violating citizens’ Fourth and Fifth Amendments and “infringing upon the sovereignty of local county governments,” a lawsuit filed in US District Court by nine private landowners, including one county sheriff, in addition to Wichita, Clay, and Wilbarger counties, seeks to end the dispute with the feds once and for all.

The lawsuit claims the federal government’s “ownership of property is limited to bottom-half of the sandy riverbed outside of Texas.

“Nonetheless, the BLM asserts that its boundary extends well past the riverbed into Texas and, in some instances, more than a mile outside of its lawful territory.”

Plaintiff and rancher Ken Aderholt spoke out last month about the federal takeover threatening nearly half of his family’s land and home.

Despite Aderholt possessing a deed to 1,250 acres of property in Harrold, Texas since 1941, the BLM recently deemed the title worthless, asserting ownership of some 600 acres.

“The BLM is saying we should have never had a deed to it. That Texas should have never produced that deed,” Aderholt told KAUZ.

“It is a land grab,” Aderholt insists. “As far as I am concerned, this is private property.”

Other ranchers included in the lawsuit say the BLM is targeting more than half of their land, with some unaware of the exact acreage being claimed by the agency.

Wichita, Clay and Wilbarger counties say the BLM’s claim “interferes with [their] ability to regulate and provide services for the health, benefit and welfare of [their] citizens, and infringes upon [their] sovereignty.” Wichita County Commissioners claim Texas Gov. Greg Abbott gave his blessing prior to participating in the lawsuit.

Additionally, plaintiff and Clay County Sheriff Kenneth Lemons asserts the BLM’s “vague assertion of ownership and jurisdiction interferes with [his] ability to discharge his law enforcement duties by preventing him from being able to discern” local from federal land.

“Furthermore, [the BLM’s] assertion of ownership causes trespassers to encroach onto private landowners’ land and engage in unlawful activity under the belief they cannot be removed because it is federal public land,” the lawsuit reads.

The feds argue the 116-mile stretch along the Red River has been theirs all along.

“The BLM has maintained that the entire parcel of land along 116-miles of the Red River in question has been public land managed by the federal government since the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, confirmed time and again with Spain and the Supreme Court of the United States rulings,” reports John Ingle for the Times Record News.

The ranchers and counties worry the BLM’s “vague assertions” have cast “a cloud upon individual Plaintiffs’ titles, preventing them from disposing of their property, borrowing against it, or otherwise fully enjoying their property.”

"BLM." I read that as "Black Lives Matter."

"BLM." I read that as "Black Lives Matter."

It is white privilege to own private property.

 

[Anti Federalist]

It is white privilege to own private property.

And a microaggression.

Whatever happens, no squatting or siege set up. Its a militia, not a castle defense game. Never forget, logistics isn't a footnote.
