There is a standoff between Cliven Bundy and the Federal Bureau of Land Management.

 

This is the man at the center talking in town forum.

I have not heard of this so I just did a little Google research. Seems to be a very complicated issue that's not at all cut and dry. Looks like both sides might be a little to blame, but it seems that his hands aren't completely unclean in this matter.

Trying to sort out.

 

Here is CNN article:

 

Showdown: Nevada rancher, feds face off over grazing rights - CNN.com

 

Bundy's dispute with the government began about 1993 when the bureau changed grazing rules for the 600,000-acre Gold Butte area to protect an endangered desert tortoise, KLAS reported.

 

So the BLM - a private entity - changed rules to protect an endangered animal - supposedly.

 

There is a 1990 report that counters the rule change since cattle are good for tortoises.

 

From that report:

 

Summary and Conclusions

 

The historical record shows that:

 

1. Desert tortoises have coexisted with cattle for 300

years in California and Mexico and at least 100 years

elsewhere.

2. The highest tortoise densities known occurred at a

time when overgrazing by livestock was the severest ever

known.

3. The fewer the cattle on a range, the fewer the

number of tortoises.

4. Excluding cattle for many years endangers the tortoise

population.

 

...

 

BLM's conservative grazing management program is

designed to restore ranges degraded by years of overuse

by livestock. Restoring the range is beneficial to some

wildlife, bighorn for instance, but it is detrimental to tortoises.

Like jackrabbits and mule deer, desert tortoises

thrive on deteriorated range lands. Declining numbers of

desert tortoises since the Taylor Grazing Act of 1934 is a

direct result of decreased livestock grazing and improved

range conditions.

OK...an aside...I scanned the page of new posts and though this said the Brady Bunch/BLM standoff...

Bundy...like Al Bundy from Married with Children.

Oh, I know now...I just was scanning and I could have sworn it said Brady...Like Peter Brady....

I have a old friend that lives in Florida and he has been blowing FB up today with articles about this.

Seems good old liberal Harry Reid May be behind this for financial gain. The sooner the world is rid of him and Pelosi the better.

Looks like this is a land-grab so that Harry Reid's son can profit.

THIS is crony-capitalism.

The Capitol vs. the Districts, in real life, complete with "Peacekeers."

After the infowars information went viral, the government has backed off the land grab.

 

As I said earlier, once the world is rid of Harry Reid, the better we will all be. He is what is wrong with politics. He has abused his power for too long and the sooner he is gone the better.

Wow, kill someone over cows. Now maybe that is why the government is stockpiling all the ammo.
