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:
Look what’s going on. Our polititions and government think they can do what they want. We as American Citizens have rights. Our government is trying to bully us. Our government doesn’t even know what they are doing. They have lost it. We as the people have rights.
About time
Gary Yeigh I was an Iowa farm wife for 20 years–corn and soybeans, hogs and cattle. Hard work. Farmers may also rent land from absentee owners but they have to PAY that rent. And ranchers have cow herds to get the calves to sell as yearlings, often to farmers who fatten them for market. No free ride. If one rents govt (citizens) land he needs to pay the rent.
he should deputize everyone any way .. before they they think of some excuse to get him ..
What an incredible dumbshit!
People are fuckin fed up!
Bahahahaha, you second amendment peeps are really delusional. If the feds want your guns, your property, and your lives they damn well will take them. You can not stand up to grenade launchers, armed drones, tanks, missels, body armour, satellites, and a standing army of nearly a million people. We the people means that politically, we have the power and ability to effect change. Find candidates who’s voting records mirror your beliefs and support them to the fullest. But make sure they haven’t been bought by corporate America
Then do it.
