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.

What a stupid ass
Utah takes BLM to the mat and street. I love it.
I’d volunteer if a call went out by one my local sheriffs or Police for such help. An I wouldn’t hesitate to make legal, forceful arrests, either if required to do so. Its time criminals started paying for their actions. Especially violent crimes.
Easterner just don’t uderstand how much America has to lose if govt keeps land grabbing and closing roads. It looks so innocent to them and “it helps save it from evil citizens”. It might be too late before some understand the importance of what is happening.
He is doing his job!! Thank you sheriff
The go is out of control almost everywhere.
Please let Iowa do this as well!
HiLIARy will just make it worse.
She and hubby got millions of dollars donated to them to allow the sale of an American mine to the Russians. Bill then got $500,000 for a speech he gave in Moscow. It was a Uranium mine. Uranium to make nuclear bombs. The Russians are pals with Iran. So the anti-American Clintons. Lined their pockets and at the same time made it easy for Iran to get nuclear material. She should go to jail for treason!
Love it when State sheriff stands up against the illegal actions of the Bureau of Land Management seizure of lands their not supposed to own in the first place!
SMH the level of ignorance and blatant racism and lack of accountability. que pendejos pobrecitos Joanna Itzel Navarro Bianca Navarro
