Bundy Ranch Stand-Off in Nevada Attracts Militia

~~~~~~~~~~~

On Monday March 31, 2015, the Nevada Legislature had a special Committee Meeting to hear public comments on the law AB408, also known as the "Bundy Bill." This abominable piece of legislation would make it possible (in some alternate universe) for Nevada to "take back" their land from the Federal Government, then sell it to the highest bidder. Or, they could just give it to the ranchers who have been using it for cattle leases - you know, like Cliven Bundy did last year.

The sponsor of this bill is Michele Fiore, the crazy Nevada Assemblywoman who once flipped out on the Chris Hayes Show as she talked about how the Bureau of Land Management had harrassed Cliven Bundy's cattle during the stand-off last year. You know, the same cattle he has been letting graze on public land for 25 years without paying his grazing fees. The cattle that actually now belong to the Federal Government, but which for some reason the BLM will not seize as payment. This whole thing baffles me.





The reason Bundy and Fiore want this bill passed is so Nevada can set a legal precedent for all the other western states overseen by the BLM. They want all public land opened to cattle grazing, mining, and hunting, and probably want it policed by the Bundy Ranch Militia instead of the government. That sort of leaves the rest of us out of the process, which is the point because they want their own little kingdom, and couldn't care less about wildlife, hikers, or Native Americans. 

First the "Pro" people spoke, led by one of Cliven's sons, Ammon Bundy, who invoked the Bible, the Constitution, and God, and it went downhill from there. It amused me that many of the libertarian types also mentioned raising tax revenue on the land for the state instead of the Fed, but then these are the same people who don't want to pay taxes on the roads they travel, or pay those darn grazing fees anymore.

Most of the people speaking "Against" the law were Conservationists or Native Americans (who actually have a claim on the land, you know), and a few were just very eloquent citizens worried about running into crazy people with guns whenever they want to take a walk in the desert.

The third group were the supposed "Neutrals," although they all turned out to be more Bundy-ites, including Cliven's other son Ryan!! My favorite "Neutral" was an out-of-state gal from California who waved her hands in the air and said she was afraid of Harry Reid, Red China, Saudi Arabia, and ISIS, at which point the chairwoman reminded her she was supposed to be neutral. It was that kind of meeting.

I watched this hearing for hours yesterday, and live-tweeted, so many of the tweets below are from my account. If something is in quotations, it is a verbatim quote - even though some of them seem beyond bizarre - like the woman who held up a spur to make her point, or the guy who name-dropped Bob Dole for some unknown reason. All true!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now that the FBI is investigating the Bundy Ranch crowd, there's a whole lotta screaming denial and rationalization going on. "It's not us, it's them! Our guns weren't pointed at anybody - that was the BLM! Snipers? What snipers? Well, the BLM had guns too, neener, neener!"

Okey-dokey, let's just see how that excuse works in court when YouTube has hours of video with pictures of the self-professed Militia members. Not to mention all the talk on Twitter, Facebook, Message Boards, and other social media about what was happening at Bundy Ranch. There's a record all over the internet.

"Why the Gun? Because they have guns."
~ Militia Member at Bundy Ranch





From Talking Points Memo
Las Vegas TV station KLAS reported Thursday that the FBI has begun interviewing Clark County sheriff's officials in what the news station describes as a "formal investigation into alleged death threats, intimidation and possible weapons violations" on the part of the Bundy militia.
Sheriff Doug Gillespie confirmed to KLAS that FBI agents asked him whether he saw Bundy supporters point guns at metro police officers during last month's showdown, but declined to share what he told the agents.

KLAS News - Las Vegas, Nevada
FBI agents also spoke to an entire squad of Metro officers, who were on the scene to act as a buffer between the crowd and the BLM. Bundy supporters have insisted in emails and calls to 8 News NOW that no one in the crowd pointed weapons at BLM or Metro, but officers told the I-Team that is exactly what they saw, that many with guns set up behind women and children.

"It is not a rumor. When we first got out there and made a left to divide I-15, that is all you saw. You saw kids and women and horses in the backdrop and then men with guns, laying on the ground, in the back of pickup trucks. We're going, 'wow, this would never happen in Las Vegas,' But it was there. That is not a rumor. It is reality and I saw it with my own eyes," Metro Police Sgt. Tom Jenkins said.
Sgt. Jenkins has been interviewed by the FBI. A second squad is expected to be interviewed by week's end. The bureau does not confirm or deny the existence of any investigation but the I-Team have confirmed from multiple sources that a criminal investigation is underway.

I see. The King’s Men can point machine guns at the peasants all day long, but WOE BETIDE a peasant who points a gun at a King’s Man...
~ kiryandil on Free Republic

I've wondered if this guy was a plant. From other photos you can see that he has an unscoped AK and is, what? 400+ yds from the feds and would be shooting over friendlies? Unless he's experienced shooting that rifle with open sights at that distance and angle he could dropping rounds right amongst the good guys.
Also from other photos it appeared that he was the only militia up there with a bunch of sightseers.
~ eagles6 on Free Republic

He’s pointing a paintball gun, that’s weird.
~ Bulwyf on Free Republic

I watched the live feed for the entire 8 hours it unfolded. The Feds were the ones pointing guns. I never saw the protesters aiming guns at the Feds at any time.
~ ambrosia on InfoWars

FBI are domestic terrorists. Shoot first and worry later! Remember folks this is the same agency that bombed Boston to bring in a beta version of Martial Law!
~ Pissed-Off and Ready for 1776 on InfoWars

People had their weapons pointed at the crooks, they were stealing/killing cattle, taking their land, using force against unarmed civilians, intimidation and these crooks were armed and pointing their weapons at these civilians. Once this happened our American Patriots ran to the call. What else would you expect free Americans to do, guess what feds..we fear for our life everyday because of the federal government, now we have the right to destroy you? Thank you, happy hunting
~ AE on InfoWars

They are not pointing at them... Just looking through their scopes to identify the agents.
~ Escondido73 on World Net Daily

It was self defense. The people of Clark County need to replace that candy-assed sheriff.
~ FedUp on World Net Daily

It was reported at the time that the feds physically assaulted Bundy's peaceful supporters; abused and frightened Bundy's cattle and caused the terrified cattle to die.
A lot of people were genuinely frightened that the feds were going to shoot to death Bundy's supporters. Thank God they weren't. It was a very scary time.
~ Linda R. on World Net Daily

Obama DOJ used as a weapon !
Obama IRS used as a weapon !
Obama HHS used as a weapon !
Obama FBI used as a weapon !
IMPEACH OBAMA NOW !!!
~ AR154U on World Net Daily

This is ridiculous. The fbi are just trying to get someone to fire the first shot. The government is looking away to declare martial law. They just want a reason to lock down the country and take away our guns.
~ Allen R. on World Net Daily

Guns were pointed at the citizens. They should be investigated! This is not going to end well for Reid and the FBI! God Bless the Bundy's!
~ Clayce on World Net Daily

Who is watching the F B I ??????
~ onree on World Net Daily

FBI = Feral Biotcccccches of Islam
~ 2soon2B4go10 on World Net Daily

Alex Jones said in a video a few days ago the following. "If you are questioned by the FBI, you're ending up dead more and more in their custody". I'm going to believe him on this one. The FBI are trying to silence the people, there is no crime against pointing a gun at someone, there is a crime against firing a gun against someone (situation based). The argument the BLM is using is the exact same argument that Bundy's supporters can, and will, use against them. You had 200 heavily armed BLM threatening murder to people who protested out of "free speech zones", sicced attack dogs on them, tazed people, and you wanna claim the victim, BLM? FBI, don't do this. It will not end well for anyone.
~ ancient18 on World Net Daily

THe photos I saw, yes the protesters were on an overpass with weapons pointed at the Govt. goons,who were pointing their guns at hundreds of Bundy supporters. I think the supporters had no choice as the Govt. goons had been there for days,tazing people, herding them into areas like cattle etc. I beleive the Govt. is not done with the Bundy's. THey are waiting for things to die down,then will sweep in and do what who knows. THey will not just drop this. They fail to realize the American people are not going to let it drop and won't put up with this COMMIE control'

#BundyRanch Militia Moves To Utah

Bundy Ranch Stand-Off in Nevada Attracts Militia

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Militia members who flocked to Bundy Ranch a month ago made a spectacle of brandishing their firearms and pointing them at law enforcement. There are countless hours of video from Alec Jones's "Info Wars" on YouTube, as well as video from Fox News, CNN, NBC and local Nevada TV. The militia crowd cheered when the Bureau of Land Management pulled back and let some of Bundy's cattle go free, but maybe their celebration was premature. Justice is often delayed, but usually it comes back to bite people who threaten the government. Just because the Bureau of Land Management high-tailed it out of there that day doesn't mean this is over.

And some of these guys went so far as to threaten Senator Harry Reid with extreme bodily harm, which is also a no-no.

Don't poke the wolverine with a sharp stick, Harry,
unless you want your b*lls ripped off.
~ Mike Vanderboegh



Sorry, Posse Comitatus ~ you may have just shot yourself in the proverbial ass, or the b*lls or whatever body-part you are obsessing over today.

There was also the story that the Bundy Militia were stopping motorists near Bunkerville, Nevada, and asking people to see their official citizenship papers. Yeah, nothing wrong with that except ILLEGAL.

From Talking Points Memo
Rep. Steven Horsford (D-NV), who represents the area, sent the letter Sunday to Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie, asking him to investigate.

"I am writing to bring your attention to the ongoing situation in northeastern Clark County which has caused many of my constituents to fear for their safety," Horsford wrote. Residents in the area "have expressed concern over the continual presence of multiple out-of-state, armed militia groups that have remained in the community" since Bundy's dispute with the Bureau of Land Management came to a boil.

The militia, as reported by Horsford's constituents, "have set up checkpoints where residents are required to prove they live in the area before being allowed to pass," the letter said.

Here is one of the snipers interviewed at Bundy Ranch:



Yeah, he's a brave foot-soldier in the fight against the government, and he has no problem using children as human shields. What a guy! But now the FBI is investigating, so good luck with that.

From the Las Vegas Sun
Clark County sheriff's officials say they've been interviewed by the FBI as part of an investigation into armed supporters of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy.
Assistant Sheriff Joe Lombardo tells KLAS-TV that federal agents are looking into the conduct of people who reportedly pointed guns at officers during a standoff at Bundy's ranch April 12.

More From 8 News Now Las Vegas
Last week, the I-Team talked with Metro officers who intervened to protect the lives of federal employees from the 400 or so Bundy supporters and armed militia members. Officers told the I-Team they feared for their lives that day because of the assembled firepower, and because many in the crowd had pointed weapons at officers, taunted them, told them they should be ready to die.

. . . FBI agents also spoke to an entire squad of Metro officers, who were on the scene to act as a buffer between the crowd and the BLM. Bundy supporters have insisted in emails and calls to 8 News NOW that no one in the crowd pointed weapons at BLM or Metro, but officers told the I-Team that is exactly what they saw, that many with guns set up behind women and children.
"It is not a rumor. When we first got out there and made a left to divide I-15, that is all you saw. You saw kids and women and horses in the backdrop and then men with guns, laying on the ground, in the back of pickup trucks. We're going, 'wow, this would never happen in Las Vegas,' But it was there. That is not a rumor. It is reality and I saw it with my own eyes," Metro Police Sgt. Tom Jenkins said.

Sgt. Jenkins has been interviewed by the FBI. A second squad is expected to be interviewed by week's end. The bureau does not confirm or deny the existence of any investigation but the I-Team have confirmed from multiple sources that a criminal investigation is underway.

It is illegal to point loaded weapons at federal agents, and most people know what would happen, if a suspect pointed a gun at a Metro officer in the Las Vegas valley.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Funny thing - as soon as it was announced the other day that the FBI was investigating these guys, the gun nuts on Twitter started chirping that THEY were the victims, that the BLM was scary and had pulled guns on THEM - "So shut up you Libtards, don't you know the Militia is in our desert saving our Liberty?" Also, they ain't skeered of no FBI!!! It was all someone else's fault - the BLM, Harry Reid, Barry Obummer, and Benghazi - don't ever forget Benghazi!!!!!









Meanwhile, the Locals are ready
for the Militia to Leave



And the Militia is obliging for now, taking their act of defiance on the road - to Utah.

From Las Vegas Sun
Ryan Payne, a Montana resident who had been staying at the ranch for a month, said he drove eight hours to arrive in the eastern Utah town this morning. Three militia members from the ranch and a handful of people from a group called Citizens Action Network came to Utah, too, he said.
"This is where it’s happening Saturday,” he said.
They and others Saturday will be armed, he said, and ride ATVs into Recapture Canyon, an area the BLM declared off-limits to motorized vehicles in 2007. The ride is organized by San Juan County, Utah, Commissioner Phil Lyman.
Payne met Friday morning with the San Juan County, Utah, Sheriff Rick Eldridge. Afterward, he said he expects Saturday’s protest to be peaceful because Eldridge pledged to “protect us from the BLM.”

More from Mother Jones
This Saturday, angry residents of San Juan County, Utah, plan to illegally ride their ATVs through Utah's Recapture Canyon—an 11 mile-long stretch of federal land that is home to Native American archeological sites—because they don't think that the federal Bureau of Land Management should have designated that land off-limits to motor vehicles. The protest was meant to be a local affair. But on Thursday, Bundy, the rancher who wouldn't pay the feds grazing fees and sparked a gun-drenched showdown in Nevada, called on his supporters to join the anti-government off-roading event, Phil Taylor reported. Bundy, whose crusade against the federal government became tainted by his racist comments, is looking to spread the cause from cattle to cross-country cruising.

"We don't expect any violence," San Juan County Sheriff Rick Eldredge told the Denver Post last week. Others aren't so sure, especially since the out-of-staters in attendance could help rile things up—which is what happened during the Bundy stand-off. "This may blow up to be significantly more than they thought," Bill Boyle, a resident of San Juan and publisher of the San Juan Record newspaper told the Post. "I think there are those who would like everyone with an AK-47 to be here."

From the Houston Chronicle
"This is where it's happening Saturday," Bundy backer Ryan Payne of Montana told the Las Vegas Sun. "This is a continuation of the Bundy affair."
. . . A 14-mile section of trail in the canyon is closed to motorized vehicles, BLM officials said, but there are more than 2,800 miles of trails open to them on public lands around Blanding.
Environmentalists and Native Americans criticized the protest ride, saying the ban is needed to preserve fragile artifacts. Mark Maryboy, a former Navajo Nation Council delegate, called it disappointing that the group had no respect for Native American culture.
"The American tradition of civil disobedience doesn't change the fact that the rule of law needs to mean something," Josh Ewing of the conservation group Friends of Cedar Mesa told The Tribune. "I'll be very disappointed in my government if it doesn't follow through on upholding the law."

Denver Post
. . . Juan Palma, Utah's director of the BLM, issued a less conciliatory statement.
"The BLM-Utah has not and will not authorize the proposed ride and will seek all appropriate civil and criminal penalties against anyone who uses a motorized vehicle within the closed area," Palma's statement read in part.

San Juan County, with more than 90 percent of its land public or belonging to the Navajo Nation, is a likely setting for another set-to.
It has long been a hotbed of far-right anger over federal intrusion into local affairs, especially after what were viewed locally as heavy-handed federal raids that rounded up dozens of longtime residents for artifact looting in the 1980s and in 2011.

San Juan County residents who support Saturday's protest ride identify themselves on their Facebook pages as fans of Bundy and guns-rights rocker Ted Nugent. They express hatred for President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat.
BLM employees in San Juan County have had windows shot out of their homes and their yards torn up by ATVs in the middle of the night.









From Salt Lake Tribune
Under the watch of several horse-mounted sheriff’s deputies, some 50 ATVs carrying multiple riders, including children without helmets and militia members with weapons at the ready, motored across an invisible line in the dust where the canyon was off limits.
"We are here to keep the peace and safeguard the constitutional rights of everybody," said San Juan County Sheriff Rick Eldredge. "We don’t want to see clashes between citizens and clashes between BLM and militia. This is not going to be Bunkerville."
The sheriff was referring to BLM’s recent stand-off with armed supporters of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who has long refused to pay grazing fees. Bundy’s son, Ryan, joined the protest ride into Recapture Canyon.

The Militia members want to make it sound as if everything is just a peaceful ride in the desert, but just the other day a Bureau of Land Management employee told police he was accosted by a group of "hooded" men on a lonely road in Utah. Is this group part of the Bundy Militia? Are they targeting BLM employees? If so, the FBI needs to make their own round-up of these thugs quickly.


From the Southern Poverty Law Center - HateWatch
At first, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) livestock wrangler driving on Tuesday along Interstate 15 in Utah, about 260 miles from the scene of the Bundy Ranch standoff in Nevada, thought he was experiencing fairly standard road rage. But then it quickly escalated into a freeway stalking with masks and guns, and ended with a law enforcement manhunt.

According to the Salt Lake Tribune, the wrangler was pulling a load of burros and horses northbound on the freeway when a dark blue extended-cab Dodge pickup pulled up alongside him and a man gestured at him with a one-fingered salute. The wrangler eased up and let the men drive past him, then he continued on. Just after passing the town of Nephi, the men caught up to him again.

This time, they were wearing hoods. And they showed him a sign that read: “You Need to Die.” Then one of them pointed what appeared to be a Glock handgun at the wrangler.

As the wrangler again dropped back, he tried to get a license plate number. But it had been covered with duct tape.

. . . In response, Utah BLM employees began removing the agency’s decals from their vehicles as a “precaution,” according to Eric Reid, the wrangler’s supervisor at the BLM field office in Fillmore. “We’re toning things down.”

#BundyRanch stand-off in Nevada attracts Militias and Wingnuts

photo 30f191d1-a34e-4c2b-990e-f43c3aa51fc1.jpg

A rancher named Cliven Bundy in Nevada refuses to pay what he owes the Bureau of Land Management for 20 years of cattle-grazing rights on public land, so they have moved in to seize his cattle. The far right rabble-rousers and conspiracy nuts are using Bundy's plight to make political hay (pardon the pun) and call for an all-out range war against the Obama Administration. The Nevada Militia has called for back-up, and that's fine as long as no one gets shot, which could happen any minute. Then they will blame Obama instead of themselves, of course.


From the LA Times
Officials say (Cliven) Bundy is illegally running cattle in the 600,000-acre Gold Butte area, a habitat of the protected desert tortoise. Last year, a U.S. District Court judge ruled that if the 68-year-old veteran rancher did not remove his cattle, they could be seized by the Bureau of Land Management.
On Thursday, federal authorities began closing off Gold Butte area and rounding up what they call “trespass cattle” there. Many of them belong to Bundy.

For two decades, Bundy has waged a one-man range war with federal officials over his cattle's grazing on 150 square miles of scrub desert overseen by the BLM. Since 1993, he's refused to pay BLM grazing fees, arguing in court filings that his Mormon ancestors worked the land long before the BLM was formed, giving him rights that predate federal involvement.
Bundy also likes to say he "fired the BLM," vowing not to give one dime to an agency that he says is plotting his demise. The back fees exceed $300,000, he said.

The father of 14 insists that generations of his family have ranched and worked this unforgiving landscape along the Virgin River since the 1880s. He says government overregulation has already driven scores of fellow ranchers out of business in sprawling Clark County, leaving him as the last man standing.
For years the rancher has insisted that his cattle aren't going anywhere. He acknowledges that he keeps firearms at his ranch and has vowed to do "whatever it takes" to defend his animals from seizure.
"I've got to protect my property," he told The Times last year. "If people come to monkey with what's mine, I'll call the county sheriff. If that don't work, I'll gather my friends and kids and we'll try to stop it. I abide by all state laws. But I abide by almost zero federal laws."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a lot bigger deal than just my cows. It’s a statement for freedom and liberty and the Constitution.
~ Cliven Bundy via Fox News

It just shows that we’re not a sovereign state. It just shows that the federal government thinks they have power over us. My county and my state is allowing this to happen. But you know what? They haven’t taken our cattle yet. We’re still hanging on.
~ Carol Bundy, wife of Cliven Bundy

Bundy with Sean Hannity on Fox, via Media Matters
BUNDY: Well, you know, my cattle is only one issue that the United States courts has ordered that the government can seize my cattle. But what they have done is seized Nevada statehood, Nevada law, Clark County public land, access to the land, and have seized access to all of the other rights of Clark County people that like to go hunting and fishing. They've closed all those things down, and we're here to protest that action. And we are after freedom. We're after liberty.

HANNITY: How far are you willing to go? How far are you willing to take this?

 BUNDY: My statement to the American people, I'll do whatever it takes to gain our liberty and freedom back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No cow justifies the atmosphere of intimidation which currently exists nor the limitation of constitutional rights that are sacred to all Nevadans.
~ Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval, via Fox News

Despite having no legal right to do so, cattle from Bundy’s ranch have continued to graze throughout the Gold Butte area, competing with tortoises for food, hindering the ability of plants to recover from extensive wildfires, trampling rare plants, damaging ancient American Indian cultural sites and threatening the safety of recreationists.

From CBS Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (CBS Las Vegas/AP) — Militia groups are rallying behind a rancher whose cattle are being seized by the federal government.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that two militia members from Montana and one from Utah have arrived at Cliven Bundy’s ranch.

“We need to be the barrier between the oppressed and the tyrants,” Ryan Payne of the West Mountain Rangers told the Review-Journal. “Expect to see a band of soldiers.”
Payne said that militias from New Hampshire, Texas and Florida are likely to join and stand with Bundy and stay at his ranch.
“They all tell me they are in the process of mobilizing as we speak,” Payne told the Review-Journal, adding that hundreds of militia members are expected.

The Review-Journal also reports that Bundy’s son, Ammon Bundy, was shot with a stun gun by law enforcement officers Wednesday and that the rancher’s sister, Margaret Houston, was pushed to the ground.
“I pulled the tasers out of him,” Cheryl Teerlink told the Review-Journal.



From The Blaze (conservative website):
“I’m seeing a lot of passionate Americans willing to stand up for important rights,” said Nevada state Assemblywoman Michele Fiore.

Fiore, a Republican, said Friday she has been making the 80-mile drive from Las Vegas to a growing tent city of militia members, advocates and protesters in dusty but scenic rangeland near Bundy’s ranch, just east of the Virgin River. She said she was horrified that BLM police used stun guns on one of Bundy’s adult sons during a Wednesday confrontation on a state highway near the Bundy melon farm in the Gold Butte area.

Video of that confrontation has spread on the Internet, along with blog commentary claiming excessive government force and calls to arms from self-described militia leaders. Some have invoked references to deadly confrontations with federal authorities, including a siege of a ranch home in Ruby Ridge, Idaho, in 1992 and the fiery destruction of a religious compound near Waco, Texas, that killed 76 people in 1993.

In Arizona, a congressman said he and several state Republican lawmakers may travel to Bunkerville to protest what they perceive as government heavy-handedness.
