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:
Great. Can I help?
Sign me up! I know how to use a gun!
where in Constitution
?
Unfortunately washington will order the national guard in with orders to lock the town down, arrest the sherrif, force the people into their homes with very limited out side time, and a nartial law curfew with orders to kill anyone out after curfew. He had better have one hell of an arsenal if he’s gonna fight the greedy, over oil they stole to sell!
The government is caretakers not owners
A lot of paranoia here as I read all of this. The government is made of of people also you know. Why can’t everyone sit down and talk sensibly and peacefully to reach an agreement. I agree that the government cannot own the land too but they are only trying to regrow the forests that have been depleted from our earth. You act as thow the ranchers own the land and they don’t either. Make a living? Why didn’t they acquire more land if they wanted to be ranchers? All ranchers that I know are very rich anyway. Enough said on my behalf. iron it out.
Please consider a Toastmasterclub. Your constant “ahhs” over and over make watching your video difficult. I say that with all due respect. I like your content and subject but if you are going to offer video or speak in public I recommend Toastmasters to improve your performance.
It is obvious why they are taking the land, it is because it is to secure the debt owned by the Chinese. It’s called collateral, but they will never admit it.
This guy kills me with his ummm after every word. Shows lack of confidence!!!

His first election was any votes he got came from the misinformed that thought to make history by voting for a black man Obamas second term was won with millions of illegal immigrants he gave amnisty to if they voted democrap.
