When government looks more like foe than friend
Feds who send arms against ranch families betray American values.
Texas AG Abbott Doubles Down on ‘Come and Take It’ Statement
“This is alarming and disturbing because private property owners in Texas have owned this land that abuts up against the Red River for generations,” Abbott said. “They have cultivated it and they have produced off of it now. And now seemingly out of the blue, the federal government is coming in and trying to seemingly stake a claim to what we think is private property owned by Texans. And so what we are doing is firing off this letter to the Bureau of Land Management to find out exactly what it is they are looking into because we feel that for one, at a minimum, they are overreaching, trying to grab land that belongs to Texans.
Opposing worldviews: Bundy supporters ‘patriots’ – or ‘terrorists’?
During a recent debate on Nevada radio station KSNV, the political divide between Nevada’s two U.S. senators became clear. Republican Dean Heller called the militia groups camped out at Clive Bundy’s ranch “patriots,” while Democrat Harry Reid labeled them “domestic terrorists.”
Federal Arrogance Fuels The New Sagebrush Rebellion
This is not new. It is merely a continuation of the Sagebrush Rebellion that began under the regime of the odious James Earl Carter. As in so many other cases, the root cause of the problem is a federal government that is imperious, overbearing, and has ceased to remember that it exists as a servant of the people, not as their master or jailer.
Western lawmakers gather in Utah to talk federal land takeover
‘It’s time’ Lawmakers from 9 states gather in Utah, discuss ways to take control of federal lands. More than 50 political leaders from nine states convened for the first time to talk about their joint goal: wresting control of oil-, timber -and mineral-rich lands away from the feds.
Western states hold summit on controlling federal land, say ‘It’s simply time’
Lawmakers from Western states said Friday that the time has come for them to take control of federal lands within their borders and suggested the standoff this month between a Nevada rancher and the federal government was a problem waiting to happen.
At scene of Nevada ranch standoff, ‘citizen soldiers’ are on guard
The first thing you see on the drive to Cliven Bundy’s ranch are the American flags — tied to roadside guardrails, flapping in a hard desert wind. …”State sovereignty is what we’re fighting for,” reads a sign strung to a fence. And another: “The West has now been won!”
In preparation for their next move, the Feds are launching a propaganda smear campaign to make Bundy and the Patriot Movement out to be nothing but a bunch of racist white supremacists and turn the general low-information sheeple’s opinion against them.
Based on a report by investigative journalist Doug Hagmann who said that a highly placed source inside the Department of Homeland Security told him that the BLM withdrawal was a fake and that they intended to return with greater numbers. Hagmann also stated that his DHS informant told him that the first raid on the Bundy compound was an exercise designed to determine what kind of resistance the government will face should gun confiscations begin.
The very next day on Ben Swann’s radio program Sheriff Richard Mack of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association revealed that he had received intelligence from multiple credible sources inside the BLM and Las Vegas Metro that there is “no question” that the federal government is planning a second raid on the Bundy home and the homes of their children who live on the property.
Harry Reid doesn’t think it’s over either, and he said so in an interview with mynews4.com
And then “Dingy Harry” doubled down by calling everybody that supports the Bundy’s “domestic terrorists” in an interview published by the Las Vegas Review Journal. How can the government let “domestic terrorists” run free? They are going to have to do something or lose all credibility in the eyes of even the most ardent Obama supporters. Judging by the comments left by liberals around the blogosphere, the progressive left is fully in support of squashing the Bundy’s like bugs. Some have even suggested that the Bundy’s be struck with drones.
Since that initial information came out both Mack and Hagmann have said that the publicity generated by their reports has caused the federal government to go back to the drawing board. Apparently what they’ve done is call for reinforcements because the last time the federal government stood toe to toe with patriots they were badly outgunned and a massacre was narrowly avoided.
I need to reiterate here that backing down from a group of armed protesters makes the federal government look extremely weak. This is something that the entire world has come to realize about Barack Obama, that he is the weakest president this country has ever had the misfortune of seeing in office. Even though it was really al-Qaeda terrorists that used chemical weapons in Syria and not Syrian Pres. Bashar al-Assad, Obama was seen as ‘womanly” by the Arab world when he did not take action once his so-called “Red Line” had been crossed.
Right now the rest of the world is watching and laughing at the weakness of Barack Hussein Obama as Russian president Vladimir Putin bends him over on the world stage and spanks him viciously nearly every single day. Obama is a joke, and the whole world sees it. Now the American people are seeing it too, and being the malignant narcissist that he is Obama just will not let that stand; he can’t. He cannot allow a few brave patriots to stand up against him and succeed.
A video posted by Freedom Fighters 2127 News claimed a source in Las Vegas had been told by a law enforcement officer that there were about 140 agents in Las Vegas where the government has set up a staging area for a second, more forceful, raid on the ranch. The video goes on to say that Las Vegas hotels are being filled with federal agents; BLM Rangers and FBI that are arriving in unmarked vehicles. “J,” Freedom Fighter’s source, said that the vehicles are being parked in secure areas and parking lots in the Las Vegas area. “J” says this doesn’t include those agents who may be flying in to take part in the raid.
