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

[Constitutional Paulicy]

I posted this in the main thread on the Bundy topic, but I felt this deserved it's own thread.

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 the 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.

I found this part of the article to be the most revealing....

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.

I'm so embarrassed by Reid.

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

Of course they have. The official spin is this:

Rancher refuses to pay grazing fees for twenty years, owes a million dollars to the IRS, and is having his assets seized because he's not been paying his fair share. Now a bunch of wild-eyed hillbilly gun nuts are coming in from all over the country and causing even more problems.

Dirty Harry , is the BLM in Dirty ass Nevada.

The deal fell apart some time ago.

OK, but this has been going on since at least 1990. see:

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showth...Sponsored-Cattle-Rustling-lt-Look-at-the-date!!!

One station reported that of the 54 ranchers in the county, the other 53 had been put out of business by the BLM. OTOH, others said that the vast majority of cattle were his, some belong to someone else.

This has been a long running plan to relieve ranchers of land. Just like Monsanto suing farmers out of business.

The above-referenced BLM “Technical Note 444” specifically mentions the Gold Butte Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) 76 times. While the document expresses many environmental concerns, including “trespass livestock grazing,” it is important to keep in mind that the title of the document reveals the BLM’s ultimate objective, which is to create a “solar energy zone.”

One of the references listed in Technical Note 444 is “Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States. FES 12- 24, DOE/EIS-0403,” published jointly by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The PEIS, notes TN 444, “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.”

Is this all you're going to do is run around call everything a conspiracy theory, or are you actually going to post something to back up your claims?

If his I all you're going to do in every thread (second I've see so far that you have done this), the you nee to be perma-banned!

 

[pcosmar]

NO actually,, it has been confirmed.. And though that solar deal may have fallen through (that part is unconfirmed),, It was still the reason for this shit.

And if not a Solar Farm,, BLM is still trying to gain control for the NEXT Investor.

It has nothing to do with Turtles. BLM has killed more turtles Deliberately than anyone else.

@donnay,

Isn't the 2nd video the one where "Cliven Bundy" was mentioned spefically by deleted BLM documents which were found on an archive site?

That video has been removed!

Yes, let's try this again.




Here the article referenced: http://www.infowars.com/flashback-sen-reid-breaks-ground-for-nevada-solar-farm-near-bundy-ranch/

The development of solar farms just like this one is exactly why Sen. Reid was using the BLM, whose director is Reid’s former senior advisor, to push Bundy out of the Gold Butte area his family has worked for over 140 years.

As we revealed last Friday in an article that became the #1 news story in the world for 24 hours, the BLM specifically stated that it wanted Bundy and his cattle out of the area as part of the agency’s “regional mitigation strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone.”

The BLM attempted a cover-up by deleting documents exposing the plan from its web site, but fortunately contributors at the Free Republic were able to save them for posterity.

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

All you need to know...

Deleted from BLM.gov but reposted for posterity by the 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.”

Nevada has one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation...

Manufacturing is leaving the US in droves...

Harry Reid, Rory Reid, and Clark County Commissioner, Tom Cotton, giving away Laughlin area land to the Chinese for pennies on the dollar/

Then, there's Charlotte, NC Duke Energy deal for the wind farm in Harry Reids hometown of Searchlight, NV (turbines made in China)

If Harry Reid is so bent on jobs, why the hell is he giving away Nevada land to a foreign corporation/Billionaire and not contract it to a US solar company?

A background check needs to be done on all these clowns at the Clark country commissioner office and see if any of them lined their own pockets or relatives.
