Harry Reid Calls Cliven Bundy Supporters “Domestic Terrorists,” Fed Task Force Being Formed

Sound familiar? We are living through a repeat of history:

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures

Anyone realize the property use extortion was basically property tax for land he supposedly didn't own to begin with? What's next, having to pay membership access to take your child to a public park? Get rid of all property extortion!
 
I think this standoff and "victory" by the crazies is a really big deal that has not gotten nearly enough discussion in the media.

Don't look at me. I voted for Obama. He just needs a few more years to fix our problems. Give the guy a chance, he's only had 6 so far.
 
This is good. Resistance, if it comes, does not come all at once. It usually starts with a small act of defiance by a small minority of the people. The tyrants respond to this defiance with the only means they know - more tyranny. This converts more people to the resistance and new acts of defiance crop up. This stimulates more tyranny. Etc. It seems to be almost an inevitable cascade once it gets going. We appear to be at the threshold of getting it going. The Fedcoats' next move is critical. There are literally millions of well-armed American who hate the government, but they need to be pushed over the line. A really heavy-handed move by the Fedcoats now could see the mobilization of a formidable citizen army VERY quickly. We may live to hear another shot heard round the world.

I've already seen comments saying that the BLM should have shot Bundy and his family for "squatting on taxpayer owned land". This is the party of tolerance and sites like the Daily Kos and other libtard media outlets have done nothing but add fuel. I think we know who the terrorists are.

And, yet, they were outraged at how OWS was treated by government goons while "squatting on taxpayer owned land."

Future Uncertain in Bundy-BLM Dispute

0413Bundy03_t320.JPG

The conspiracy theory about Sen. Harry Reid started soon after the Cliven Bundy story went national.

The theory: The Senate majority leader masterminded the takeover of Bundy’s cattle in Gold Butte to clear land for a solar facility that Chinese company ENN hoped to build in Southern Nevada. That thought appears to have originated at the blog Godfather Politics and was picked up by writers in more mainstream conservative media outlets, such as NewsMax and the Washington Times. The story also suggested that Reid had his former aide, Neil Kornze, do his dirty work as the week-old Bureau of Land Management director.

Reid’s spokeswoman, Kristen Orthman, said any connection between Bundy and the solar project is “bogus.” She added: “People find anything to label him as, or to connect things to that aren’t connectable. … If it wasn’t this, they would be talking about something else.”
It’s true that Reid had been working on a solar project in Nevada. But based on the facts, the rest of the theory doesn’t pass the smell test. Here’s why:

Geography: Bundy’s ranch is in Bunkerville, about 75 miles northeast of Las Vegas. The land that Reid identified for the solar plant was about 90 miles south of Las Vegas in Laughlin. That puts the Bundy ranch and the solar plant site about a three-hour drive apart. They’re simply not in the same part of the state.

Another project comes close. But not that close: Bundy’s home in the Mojave desert is closer to the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone, a corridor that has been slated for renewable energy development. The BLM is planning a mitigation strategy that may stretch toward the area where Bundy has been grazing his cows. But even there, the maps don’t match up closely enough to suggest that Bundy’s specific grazing land was the intended site of a solar facility. Also, the Chinese company ENN had not been planning a facility in the Dry Lake area.

Where Reid’s agenda and Bundy’s cattle grazing do overlap: Bundy’s cattle have been grazing on land that Reid and Rep. Steven Horsford, D-Nev., have targeted for future wilderness protections. Both Reid and Horsford have filed legislation to turn the Gold Butte area into a national conservation area. But this is entirely separate from the solar project. A conservation status discourages development, and it’s near impossible to greenlight a solar project on conservation land.

The start of the Chinese solar project: Reid went to China in 2011 to lock down the deal. The ENN Mojave Energy project was supposed to help yank Southern Nevada’s flailing economy out of the recession and into the foreground of renewable energy development in America. Clark County fast-tracked the required reviews and approvals. But construction never started.

Where it got stuck: In June 2013, ENN said it was dumping the project because the “market will not support a project of this scale and nature at this time.” So right now, there is no massive Chinese-backed solar project in the works and certainly not one that requires the removal of Bundy’s cows.
The timelines don’t line up: Bundy’s battle with the BLM started in 1993 when he stopped paying his grazing fees, 18 years before anyone talked about putting Chinese money into the Nevada desert for renewable energy. Talk about the Chinese solar project started in 2011 and ended in 2013. And the Bundy-BLM confrontation came this month, long after the solar project died.

More on Kornze: It’s not exactly true that this was the first move of Reid’s former aide as BLM director. The roundup started April 5, and Kornze wasn’t confirmed by the Senate as BLM director until April 8.

I honestly think, if we banded together and made a concerted effort to disseminate information in all the right places, we could turn the tide on Harry Reid. We could turn public opinion against him. It's a tactic that's used against our side constantly. It's time to turn the tables, and what better person to do it to.

Heller calls for BLM hearings during appearance with Reid

FeatureImage.jpg


LAS VEGAS (KSNV MyNews3.com) — Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., called for congressional hearings into the BLM’s stand-off with cattle rancher Cliven Bundy.

Heller requested the hearings during a joint appearance today with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., on the KSNV-TV News 3 program: “What’s Your Point?”

Nevada’s junior senator noted that he wants to determine “who drove” BLM policy on the tense standoff that ended Saturday.

Heller said that he took issue with the BLM “coming in with a paramilitary army. It made a lot of people very uncomfortable.”

“It’s obvious,” Reid noted, “the federal government can’t just walk away from this.”

Speaking Thursday, Reid equated Bundy and his supporters to “domestic terrorists.”

“Those people, who hold themselves out to be patriots are not,” Reid said at the earlier event. “If there ever were an example of this,” Reid noted, “these are the guys.”

The Reid and Heller appearance was billed as the first joint TV appearance by the state’s two U.S. senators. Hosts Jeff Gillan and Amy Tarkanian questioned the men about the potential extension of long-term unemployment benefits – both men support them despite opposition from House Republicans. The two are also opposed to the legalization of most forms of Internet gambling, arguing that they would hurt traditional Nevada casinos.

“Dean and I can spend three days on the things we disagree on,” Reid said, “but we also agree on a lot of stuff.”

They were clearly split, however, on the issue of Bundy’s push to continue to graze his cattle on BLM land despite court orders going back to the 1990s, forbidding him to do so while requiring him to pay grazing fees owed the federal government.

“What Sen. Reid called ‘domestic terrorists,’ I called ‘patriots,’ ” said Heller, noting that he had previously introduced legislation that would see Nevadans assume a larger percentage of the state’s land. The federal government owns nearly 87 percent of the state.

Isn't it wonderful how "agreeable" everyone - Republican or Democrat - can be when they don't let pesky things like the Constitution get in the way?

I noticed that too. I guess principles only go so far when it comes to being reelected. The differences aren't all that striking.
