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.

Here it comes, and the mob-controlled Clark County LEO, along with Holder's Brown Shirts will make Bundy pay. You can bet on it.

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
One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!

Yeah, even The Blaze had to admit these important facts.
Reid and his son, Rory, were both deeply involved in a deal with the Chinese-owned ENN Energy Group to build a $5 billion solar farm in Laughlin, Nevada. But that is roughly 177 miles away from Bundy�s 150-acre ranch in Bunkerville, Nev., and 213 miles from the federally owned Gold Butte area where Bundy �s cattle graze, according to Google Maps.

there may be a lot of misinformation on this issue all the way around.....but of this I'm quite sure.....Harry Reid is full of $hit through and through

They are taking the native wildlife from the solar site to Bundys place.They have a name for this but I dont remember it.
The term is "migitation", the principle is destroyed habitat somewhere is replaced by restored habitat somewhere else.
Usually this does not mean physically transporting wildlife from one area to another. Most often with mobile wildlife its a "if you build it, they will come" sort of deal.
So yes, removing cows from designated tortoise habitat like the former Bundy grazing allotments could be migitation for a solar project 200 miles away.

Habitat mitigation. This is used often here, usually for filling in wetlands. It allows the developer to "offset" damages to a less desirable tract. Basically you can fill in an area deemed wetland by creating and or preserving an equal tract elsewhere. It is the legal equivalent of "graft". Give us some land and you can carry on. We also have the "endangered" Alabama beach mouse, which essentially is a field mouse that has adapted to living in sand dunes. These little field mice can stall a development for years. Once you wade through all the red tape, you can "relocate" the mice on down the beach, or in some instances, next door. I saw 2 of these mice while I was superintendent on a development. One was being carried off by an osprey. Part of my job was to report any "sightings" to USFWS. Ha! They weren't sure what to say when I asked if we should start shooting the osprey. I forgot to tell them about the one that drowned in the pool.

It's called offsetting. No matter where they build the power plant, they need to set aside X-amount of land for undisturbed nature as an offset for the environmental destruction that the plant will cause. It's like the way carbon credits work. So they cannot proceed with the plant till they've first arranged for the offset land, which they decided Bundy's ranch was going to be, which is why they drove off the other ranchers in the area, and are trying to drive off Bundy, with burdensome regulations that make ranching unprofitable.
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.

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..
