The Federal government does not like to be challenged, and it has the resources and the power to make citizens yield, and does so when it cannot win the argument. If you have been following the conflict in Oregon recently between ranchers and the Federal government, you will know that the government, which owns over 50% of the land in eleven western states, is willing to jail you for unintended trespass of undeveloped, unoccupied land.
Two ranchers who did some brush clearing of their own ranch, but inadvertently burned some of the adjoining federal land, are now in prison for a long stay, based on a charge of arson. It is worth pointing out that the fire they started was put out by the ranchers without outside help, and the land itself is actually now healthier and more productive due to the reduction of brush and overgrowth. But the government wants to make sure that everyone understands they are in charge and they have the power.
A small group of ranchers, led by Ammon Bundy, are occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge building in protest of the unjust sentence and the overbearing government position. Fortunately, no violence has developed, but Bundy and his group have vowed to stay until the two ranchers in question are freed. But the government still wants to make a strong point, and they have enlisted a judge to help them.
Huge fine threatened, page 2:
One more way the feds try to$#%&!@*you , if not through force then through financial intimidation.
you know. if the Ranchers put all the complaints together, from state to state, regardless of corrupt county judges and commissioners, along with the western states huge$#%&!@*fraud when it comes to federal fire fighting dollars spent versus where it has really gone and looked deeper into that and put it all together maybe then the lazy stupid people of city america would see what is going on. especially if some of those county commissioners are also ranchers yet receive federal grant money for dealing with noxious plants when all they really do is move their own cattle herds from one pasture to another while getting paid not just once but at least twice. there is a fucked up veneer in this country.
Take EVERYTHING they have; money, guns, property, hell, take the clothes off their damn backs! STOP SCREWING AROUND WITH THESE RATS AND KILL THEM LIKE THE VERMIN THEY ARE.
He already pays since all that is paid by tax payers and he’s a tax payer
Americans are watching this…and we are even more ticked off at this government….leave the Bundy family and ranch ALONE. The federal gov. and the epa are way off base…this is nothing but a LAND GRAB…and unfair tactics used to acquire this land. BOOOOO and want to see this epa DEFUNDED AND DELETED…
here is my take on Ferguson. My big complaint, they torched their own buildings and not city hall. I get the argument. I do. there comes a time when you are so fed up, that one last straw, right or wrong, is more than enough to send it up in flames. But if you want to save your own lives, you need to back burn. If balck people rattled off bill of rights$#%&!@*it would be the Pied Piper to white folks’ ears. We speak english but not the same language. Even in the cities and around Ferguson other reliable sources even said, its not just ferguson, the corruption is every where.
Government is trying to still their land cause it is rich in minerals used to make rocket fuel. Plus they want to sell those mineral to places like China and Russia for money. Greedy idiot liberals. Government has been bullying Ranchers, burning their home burning their cattle which are in fences. they intentionally set fires all around their property and tell rancher they will be arrested if they try to intervene. check out on youtube what the BLM whistle blower had to say.
Debby Bartkowiak, educate yourself, the people have a right to public land. The bundy’s want nothing to do with this land, the Hammonds do. The people in ferguson were rioting not protesting. Rioting for the right to be criminals at that. Trash just like those that support them. The bundy’s are protesting a tyrannical govt agency stealing land unconstitutionally. The same principals this country was founded upon. Your right about 1 thing though, there is a huge difference between the 2.
Debby Bartkowiak, please tell us more about this imaginary road that has been made. Do you even care how utterly ignorant you sound? Obviously not your a liberal, everything that comes out liberal mouths is the dumbest things I have ever heard. 100% ignorance with 0% common sense.
So we have no rights to stand for what we believe in, but if your thugs, muslim, and other trash your ok, now theres the bullsht
