We all know that you will never get to know any of the specifics
of the case, but that won't stop you from spouting militia based
wingnutery anyway.

What Is Senator Harry Reid’s Involvement In Government Assault
On Nevada Ranch?
April 18, 2014 by Wayne Allyn Root
Hello, I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. I live in Las
Vegas. I live and breathe Nevada politics. Something is very
wrong. Something smells rotten in the Nevada desert. And Senator
Harry Reid’s fingerprints are all over it.
I am, of course, referring to the Bundy ranch siege. This was a
dispute between a Nevada ranching family with rights to the land
in question for 140 years and the Bureau of Land Management. The
government claims they haven’t paid grazing fees for 20 years.
The result was a government assault on the ranch, including
snipers with assault rifles, SUVs, helicopters, airplanes and
more than 200 heavily armed troops. No matter whether you come
down on the side of the government or the ranch family, I think
all of us can agree this was excessive force.
But forget all that. I believe the more important question is:
Why is this case so important to U.S. Senate Majority Leader
Reid, and what was his involvement in this controversial
assault?
Let’s start with Reid’s obsession with the case. Just on Monday
evening he weighed in again, promising, “This isn’t over.”
Doesn’t it strike anyone as strange that the U.S. Senate
Majority Leader is so obsessed with a small rancher who hasn’t
paid grazing fees? Does New York Senator Chuck Schumer get
involved publicly when a New York company is late paying rent to
the U.S. government?
Doesn’t the Senate Majority Leader have anything more important
to think about? There are almost 100 million working-age
Americans no longer working. More Americans are today on
entitlements than working in the private sector. More Americans
are on food stamps than the number of women working in America.
Iran is building a nuclear bomb. Russian jet fighters are
threatening American ships. Yet Reid obsesses about a rancher
late on his rent? Something smells fishy, folks.
There are other questions raised about Reid’s involvement. Why
did this assault become the No. 1 priority of government only
days after a senior political adviser to Reid took over BLM?
Coincidence?
Government appeared completely uninterested in backing down for
days on end… and completely unconcerned with instigating a
deadly confrontation like Waco or Ruby Ridge. Then suddenly,
Reid’s involvement was brought up by conservative websites
across the Internet. Instantly, out of the blue — within hours
of Reid’s name being attached to the raid — the BLM decided to
back down, pack up and walk away. Don’t you think that this
timing was a tad too coincidental?
It has been pointed out by journalists intent on covering for
Reid that a $5 billion Chinese solar project backed by Reid was
recently shelved. But what they forgot to mention is Reid’s
involvement in multiple solar and wind projects across the
Nevada desert. Only days ago, Reid was featured in a photo at a
groundbreaking ceremony for a new solar project. Where is that
project located? Thirty-five miles from the Bundy ranch in
Bunkerville, Nev.
Reid’s fingers are in virtually every solar and wind project in
the Nevada desert. Green energy is his obsession. Green energy
is his baby. His vision is turning the Nevada desert into the
“Green Energy Capital of America.”
Who benefits from that vision? Democratic donors who run green
energy companies. Who stands in the way of that vision? Nevada’s
ranchers, farmers and property owners — almost all of whom are
diehard Tea Party conservatives and patriots, who despise Reid.
Reid and the BLM needed a “cover story” to take the land away
from the ranchers. So they claim it’s about protecting the
“endangered” desert tortoise.
But if the protection of the desert tortoise was so important to
the BLM, why did the same BLM kill hundreds of desert tortoises
last fall?
If protecting the tortoises was so important, why has the BLM
constantly waived rules protecting the desert tortoise for
multiple solar and wind projects? If cattle are a danger to
tortoises, why are solar panels and wind turbines not a danger?
There’s much more to this story, folks. My educated guess is
that someone in the government already has big plans lined up
for the Bundy ranch. Someone is going to make a financial
killing with this forceful land grab. Someone powerful in
government wants the Bundy family off their land (after 140
years).
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. It was Reid
who famously made a guess about Mitt Romney’s taxes. He guessed
wrong. No one seemed to mind. So now it’s time for all of us to
ask questions about Reid’s involvement in this scandal and
government land grab. It’s time for the media to investigate.
I’m only guessing, but something smells very rotten in Nevada.

Reid: Supporters Of Nevada Rancher Are ‘Domestic Terrorists’

Reid: Supporters Of Nevada Rancher Are ‘Domestic Terrorists’
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) doubled down on his
criticism of rancher Cliven Bundy Thursday, labeling the
rancher’s supporters as “domestic terrorists.”
In an interview with the Las Vegas Review Journal, Reid accused
Americans who defended Bundy against the Bureau of Land
Management of being terrorists because they protested the
Federal government’s actions while armed. The Senator also
charged that some families put their children in harm’s way to
protect the rancher.
“They’re nothing more than domestic terrorists,” Reid said. “I
repeat: what happened there was domestic terrorism.”
Reid, who recently said that the Federal government is not
finished with Bundy, went on to suggest that the rancher is a
criminal for failing to acknowledge the Federal government’s
demands that he pay $1 million in overdue grazing fees.
“Clive Bundy does not recognize the United States,” Reid said.
“The United States, he says, is a foreign government. He doesn’t
pay his taxes. He doesn’t pay his fees. And he doesn’t follow
the law. He continues to thumb his nose at authority.”
The standoff between Bundy supporters and the Feds ended over
the weekend when his confiscated cattle were returned— but
officials continue in efforts to enact the government’s will
over the rancher.
Reid, it seems, wants Federal officials to make an example of
the rancher.
“It is an issue we cannot let go, just walk away from,” Reid
said.
“There were hundreds, hundreds of people from around the country
that came there,” Reid said. “They had sniper rifles in the
freeway. They had weapons, automatic weapons. They had children
lined up. They wanted to make sure they got hurt first … What if
others tried the same thing?”

There certainly is...it's facts and stupid white militia types
that have a funny definition of being a patriot.
Right good olde cliven?
Speaking to conservative radio host Dana Loesch last week, he
said he believes in a “sovereign state of Nevada” and abides by
all state laws, but, “I don’t recognize the United States
government as even existing.”
Libbbberty folks...

It appears that the only person more obsessed with this case
than Harry Reid is Otto.

It looks like a big land grab to me. It looks like the
government wants all the ranch land. It also looks like Harry
Reid wants to turn Nevada into a green industry state.

Reid wouldn't be so concerned if he didn't have something up his
sleeve. And Otts, what is it with you? The more you open your
trap, the more ignorant and ridiculous the statements become.
You are becoming a caricature of yourself!

I have seen this stated, but have been unable to verify it. At
one time, before the state was created, all the land was Federal
land. I have seen it reported that when the enabling act
creating the state was passed, it kept much of the land,
including this one, as Federal land, just as it did in Alaska.
Is this not correct?
