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.

Sometimes some of u sound so dumb- fight for your rights
Raising cattle isn’t free and the ranchers take way better care of the land that gets grazed then the BLM who sale it to foreign countries. You are a true moron to think that ranchers are a crime syndicate. The have as much right to the land as I do or you do. If you have an issue with go buy some fucking cattle and graze them there no one is stopping you. But what the BLM and EPA AND OTHER actual crime syndicates are doing to the people of this nation. And folks like you who think like they do are the ones who are screwing this nation up. I guess you prolly think that our vets don’t deserve the rights to be taken care of after they come home to.
You are wrong they are trying to take the land so it can be sold. They want to fill there pockets with money at our expense. Has nothing to do with keeping the land for the people. Do some research. Look up Urainium One, and Harry Ried and the solar panel farm
I’m starting to wonder if the black lives matters (BLM) was formed to keep attention away from the true BLM (bureau of land management)
Whole bunch of retards here, that’s public land you gaping assholes
Keith Carnes yup on uranium but stand by my opinion.
We don’t have a Federal Government.
We have an obama dictatorship.
The EPA, BLM, DEC, IRS, DHS all are out of control.
Sheriff I stand with you those in Government turn ageist us then they are no longer Americans. That’s why we have the 2nd amendment so we can stay free.
