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.

Hellyeah
Arrest them, kill them, they are a waste of my air
I’ve been saying all along the BLM (black lives matter) is a smokescreen, confusion from the highest order to distract all the bad press of the original BLM (Bureau of Land Management) and the Land Grabs the Federal Government is making. Dang folks – this is oppression and tyranny by our Federal Government. Those are American cattle farmers and have been grazing that land for generations in many cases.
How important is it to plant aspen trees there? How will it make any difference except to some big logging co that will come and harvest the timbers in the near future. Who’s really at the high point in planting the trees? What the real reason for all this oppression and tyranny? Maybe there’s a particular ore that the Government wants. I’d suggest try getting the most recent geo survey maps and reports. If the repots are hard or impossible to obtain, there’s something even more sinister happening there.
Nick Brey he ran out of the truck and put his hands up at the end he realized he was going to die so he drew.. they assassinated him…
Damn rite!
Yaaaassssss
Uh..uhh…uh..uhh..man please stop saying “UHH” after every word..
Hell yes!
This us a form of Nullification which has little precedent. The legal merits are strong though because federal jurisdiction is in question on such matters.
I too am a former Marine and I ask that same question. I will yawn when these same people who supported Hillary will thank me for my service Friday. They need to thank those who gave their life and not me.
