Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Harry Reid Says Bundy Ranch Incident is Not Over

Lots of .gov supporters here have been exposed.

In a statement given to NBC4 in Reno, Reid said, �it�s not over.� � �We can�t have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it�s not over.�

Naah, more like those folks prone to making simple-minded generalizations.

Ya got government ownership of the land on the one and vs. allotment holder's rights on the other.

Apparently the BLM has the right to limit the amount of grazing allotments on public land. Fair enough, makes sense.

OTOH, cutting Bundy's grazing allotment by 60% without any compensation in 1993 was clearly not just, even if technically legal. The fact that this was done to preserve the desert tortoise only rubs salt in the wound.

As for the Fed's "killing surplus tortoises" as is repeatedly and inaccurately brought up here:

First off, habitat is everything, individual animals being relatively unimportant. Those tortoises in that holding "sanctuary" were picked up and turned in by the public, if anything a symptom of disappearing habitat, but just as often in this case due to misguided good intentions.

The fact that there is not enough places to release those tortoises points to a dearth of remaining habitat.

Also, IIRC adult desert tortoises are exceedingly hard to relocate. These extremely sedentary creatures can spend literally centuries on the same acre, operating out of the same hole in the ground, in a precarious equilibrium with food and water supply.

Once I was riding my motorcycle through past our big Air Force Training base here when I came a cross a big Texas tortoise (a close cousin to the desert tortoise, though not endangered) coming from the base attempting to cross a busy four-lane highway in the middle of the day. There was new construction on the adjacent area on base. Likely that remnant tortoise had persisted in that formerly quiet little corner in the middle of the city for at least decades before being displaced.

I transported it outside of town to suitable habitat but I figured its chanced of survival there were about zip.

Interesting this isn`t the position he takes when it comes to fellow politicians or illegal immigrants...

First off, just to be clear, Harry Reid is a POS.

I'm having a hard time buying into the Chinese solar plant theory though. It doesn't add up and for several reasons.

1) If the Chinese wanted to spend 5 billion dollars on a solar farm they could afford to buy some cheap desert land.

2) Locating the plant near Laughlin makes sense. There was a coal fired power generating facility near Laughlin that was shot down in 2005. Locating a new facility near there gives access to the power grid without stringing new power lines.

For reference ...

I wonder how long that lie will be parroted?
The Chinese site is 175 miles from Bundy's place.
The location was given in the original article, but no one bothers to read past the headlines

But it's quite okey-dokey to have Holder and the AIC violate laws nearly daily...


With each passing day, Reid becomes an even larger pile of chit..

it is the people versus Government.

Birdy, if you believe this is a "fact", I have a good deal on some ocean front property in Clark Co., Nevada.

You and I have been on here a long time together yet you came down on the side of the untruths.

Senator Harry Reid, who has been implicated in using the BLM to steal a Nevada Rancher�s land for his friends at a Chinese Solar Company, is now threatening the rancher with further federal action.

In a statement given to NBC4 in Reno, Reid said, �it�s not over.� � �We can�t have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it�s not over.�

But as many in the area are pointing out, this has little to do with the cattle, and more to do with Reid�s attempt to steal even more Nevada land to enrich himself and help fund his son�s political ambitions. It�s pretty ironic that someone who has made millions violating the law, is now using the �law� as a justification for an armed invasion on American soil.

Harry Reid: the architect of the Bundy Ranch Invasion?

The Bureau of Land Management is headed by longtime friend and former Reid aide Neil Kornze, who was confirmed by the Senate as BLM director on Tuesday, just as armed BLM agents descended on the cattle ranch outside Mesquite, Nevada. Harry Reid�s son, Rory Reid, has been the chief representative to the Chinese solar firm, which is trying to use land near the Bundy Ranch to build a $5 billion solar plant.

Over the years, the Harry Reid has used his political influence to make a number of similar shady deals throughout Nevada. He�s been accused of doing business with the mob and using his influence to manipulate zoning ordinances throughout the state � in one instance making over $700,000 that he failed to disclose, because of his partnership with a Las Vegas lawyer whose name has surfaced in federal investigations involving organized crime.

Supporters still at Bundy Ranch, armed and ready for a possible confrontation.

Bundy supporters remain at the ranch, fully expecting a raid from the Federal Government. According to World News Daily, The executive director of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association says his sources inside the federal government is warning that the BLM�s weekend retreat was only a move to distract attention and diffuse tensions, and that a raid on the family�s ranch still is planned.

Richard Mack, the former sheriff of Grisham County, Ariz. told WND �I don�t think it would be possible� to launch a raid without violence. �I don�t think the Bundys would lie down and be taken.�

This afternoon, federal officers could be seen moving back into the area, along with a number of Clark County officers who arrived with a large prison transportation bus.
