Land Grab by BLM is Theft
One case of reviewed by a BLM employee, certainly not aware that the video would end up on YouTube.
“We went out to the mine and the owners were two little guys that had been in the Second World War,” a California park service employee recalls at a retirement celebration for Mojave National Preserve Superintendent Mary Martin in 2005.
The employee brags about how the veterans’ mine was appraised by the federal government at $40 million, and acquired for a paltry $2.5 million.
“We did get it appraised and we did acquire it for $2.5 million which I stole the money from Washington to acquire it,” the employee in the video admits, adding that it’s sometimes hard to bamboozle property owners due to the agency’s reputation.
“’Lands’ isn’t always supported because we’re the ‘bad guys.’ We come in, and we take this land. And we always take it for less than it’s worth.”
The employees’ jaw-dropping admissions amid joyful applause, smiles and celebration over the confiscation of two World War II veterans’ and others’ private land goes to prove the federal government is not at all concerned with “land preservation” and focuses mainly on predatory land grabs.
The long and short of it is that the federal government was meant to be limited, but in fact is anything but. Perhaps a new American revolution is the only answer to this type of government abuse.
that is not right…land ownership is one of the foundations of our country…
The federal goverment is not allowed to own land,except for forts ,ports,and DC.The states own the land.
The government does lots of things its not supposed to do…
That is correct, the rest is state, public, and privately owned by the citizens of this country!

The BLM has been a heinous organization for a long time. They don’t care who owns the land it how much you paid. They’ve ruined most of the vestiges of the Oregon-California Trail.
