The movement against the BLM and Forestry Service western lands takeover continues to build, with the aftermath of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge demonstration and the slaying of rancher LaVoy Finicum by federal agents serving as a rallying point for those who believe the federal government has grown too big and powerful, particularly in the western states. Don’t miss the video included later in the article.
The compliant media has circled the wagons to declare the demonstrators were radical, right-wing constitutionalists, as if the U.S. Constitution can be protected and promoted too much.
Somehow, those who dismiss the ranchers and their supporters in the western states can’t see that the government, which “owns” over 50 percent of the land in eleven western states, is much more interested in power and control, and much more committed to radical environmentalists than to farmers and ranchers trying to make a living on the land that, like as not, has been a family pursuit and way of life for generations.
To put a finer point on the issue, mere weeks after the Malheur protesters were arrested and the refuge cleared, President Obama declared three more parcels of land in California as federal land, with little or no future access granted to mere citizens of the state. And by parcels, I mean almost 2 million acres that are now set aside as an offering to the Sierra Club and their ilk, with no compensation offered to California for the taking.
Federal government supporters are painting protesters as lawless cowboys, ignoring the fact that the Constitution prohibits the federal government from owning more than a ten square mile plot in Washington D.C., and areas for forts and military installations that require state approval to acquire.
Watch as the Sheriff fights back in video on the next page:
If we don’t stand up for our rights , the government sure won’t on our behalf.
AMEN….
Washington DC DICKS
Unfortunately, you have no jurisdiction over federal agents. Any attempt to arrest or detain them is considered hindering federal authorities, which can get you and your deputies instead arrested.
Federal Law overrides State, County, and City Laws everytime.
About time
TVA is doing the same thing with land in the south that people have been caring for and maintaining for 60 to 70 years. Threatening people for even mowing it. Allowing it to grow up in privet hedge which is a invasive plant that is worse than the kudzu
About time
LaVoy Finicum was killed by a Sheriff’s deputy not a federal agent after saying on TV he would kill law enforcement on TV, after reaching for his pistol 3 times the video is still easily found. BLM was the agency working with the local Sheriff, it was the FBI and they were there at the behest of said Sheriff’s Department.
That sucks that means the government will soon execute him
This statement has no factual basis, if he were doing what you are implying why is Fox News allowed to operate or Alex Jones or The Drudge report all of those are dissenting media? If you would like to see how what your proposing works please look at Putin and how dissenting media is delt with and compare it to the US.
