BLM declares Texas is Oklahoma land
by Craig Masters
- Cowboys at the ready
While
the world watched, these cowboys sat ready to defend their way of life
against more than 200 heavily armed federal agents and snipers hiding in
the hills. The agents were sent by Harry Reid’s former senior advisor,
35 year old Neil Kornze, to confiscate open range cattle from the last
rancher in Clark County, Nevada.
In
the days since Dave Bundy was attacked on a public state highway and
arrested for interfering with federal officials (for filming them in
action), the details for the reasons behind the “land grab” have become
obfuscated by the propaganda machine of the federal government.
Pictures of the BLM agents’ violent actions against the Bundy family
members and others began to circulate in the alternative media.
Protesters were told to remain behind fences labeled “First Amendment
Area” as milita men mobilized from around the country to come to
“protect the citizens” from a potential slaughter of Americans that
would have surely led to massive armed expansion against the tyranny of
the Obama/Reid administration.
Gradually,
the real back story has emerged. The original bullhocky story about the
cattle endangering desert tortoises fell apart when the truth was
discovered that only recently the BLM had gerrymandered the boundaries
of endangered habitat and created a mitigation area needed to replace
habitat where Harry Reid’s son and a Chinese energy company planned to
build a 5 billion dollar solar energy project. The federal subsidies for
that project have yet been fully discovered. The BLM web site has been
scrubbed of details except for some limited images that got reproduced
by Free Republic and now abound on the internet.
However,
it takes more than a few days to develop a plan for a 5 billion dollar
solar farm covering more than 5000 acres. It is now known that in order
for “Non-Governmental Organizations” (the Chinese) to move forward with
development of the “Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone” that project will
destroy desert habitat in the Zone. Therefore an “offsite mitigation for
impacts from solar development” area needed to be established. Those
exact words remain available on the reproduced sections of the BLM web
pages.What that means is, the developers needed to replace one habit
with another. Such a new site would need to be far enough away from the
toxic solar energy farm to attract the occasional migrating southwestern
willow flycatcher ( a bird more commonly found in southern California
and Arizona ). Do flycathers eat flies? Yes. Do cow patties attract
flies? Usually.
But ignoring all the
developments since 1993, a critical issue still remains. The United
States government – we the people – gave 1870′s settlers a promise of an
open range for cattle if they would homestead and ranch on the land
recently annexed from Mexico. The Bundy family answered that call and
have honored their part of the contract ever since. In 1993 the Clinton
administration unilaterally decided to completely rewrite the original
promise conditions and, like so many treaties the U.S. has signed with
so many, we simply threw the original promises in the trash and told the
Bundy family to take it or leave it! In this case one and only one
rancher, Bundy, told the government he was holding the government to its
word. What we have seen then since 1993 is that the word of our
government isn’t worth a damn. It seems those 1870′s settlers were told,
“If you like your ranch you can keep it.”
Why
does the government feel it has the unilateral right to change the
contract so completely that no other rancher has been able to continue
to make a living? Is the corrupt and borderline criminal, politically
powerful Harry Reid, once again pulling another fast and furious land
deal? Are the citizens of Nevada placing the interest of Chinese
investors and the Reid family higher than the honor of the United States
word to the settlers that opened the Nevada territory some one hundred
and fifty years ago?
Today, the
alternative media has begun to cover another BLM land grab. In Texas,
rancher Tommy Henderson is being told the government is confiscating his
90,000 acre ranch along the Red River. Henderson is also told that once
the BLM takes his ranch for public land, he might be able to arrange a
grazing contract; you know, like Cliven Bundy and his neighbors used to
have in Nevada.
Henderson has a clear
deed to his land in the state of Texas. He has no back taxes or fines or
other issues pending. So how is the BLM taking his family ranch? The
BLM has decided to declare that his land is now in Oklahoma and
therefore his Texas deed became invalid when the Red River moved its
banks south.
If one more federal agent
takes one more legal gun from one more American, the rest of us need to
put a stop to it – before none of us can!
