Bundy Wages New War Against Federal Control Of Land (Videos)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

 

(N.Morgan) Almost a year ago, the Bundy name was thrust into the spot light because of their fight against a somewhat shady land grab attempt by the Bureau of Land Management in the state of Nevada.

 

A year ago, a federal land grab being imposed under the guise of environmental protection in Southern Nevada.

 

The federal government’s monopoly on land in the West is profoundly unfair and grossly inefficient.

 

 

 

 

Not only does it deprive the state and local governments of much needed tax revenue that could help provide better public goods and services – it also embroils the local land use and management in endless bureaucratic red tape, stifling economic development and undermining sensible environmental protection.

 

 

Now in the most recent shot at ranchers in Nevada, the BML wants to make the public grazing lands under the care of the feds, rather than the ranchers and citizens of Nevada.

 

“We’ve allowed the federal government to rule over us until we are nothing; we’re not going to be nothing no more,” said Cliven Bundy as he spoke in front of a crowd of supporters Tuesday afternoon.

 

 

In opposition to the bill, a progressive group called Battle Born Progress is determined to keep public lands public.

 

 

“This bill, AB 408, and others introduced this session, are nothing but attempts to take out the public in public lands,” said Annette Magnus with Battle Born Progress.

 

 

 

AB 408, if passed, will change the management of public lands in Nevada.

 

Currently more than 80% of Nevada land is managed by the federal government.

 

Bundy says it should be managed by Nevadans.

 

“These resources belong to we the people of the state of Nevada and it is time that we start acting like a state and start taking advantage of our resources,” said Bundy.

 

408, the opposition says, would allow Nevada to sell lands to the highest bidder.

 

 

“We must stand together to fight these measures that threaten our beautiful lands,” said Magnus.

 

Bundy and his group don’t necessarily want to buy the public lands, but instead use them for their resources for operations like mining, logging, and grazing, something they currently can’t do without paying fees.

 

“What a waste. What a waste of our land. What a waste of our resources,” said Bundy.

 

If Nevada were to take over these lands, managing them wouldn’t be cheap.

 

Democrats estimate it would cost the state $95 million a year.

 

One must ask the question as to why the state of Nevada is so intent on controlling those grazing lands, to the point they would be willing to add such an expense to the budget.

 

What resources are they after? 

 

 

Here is the bill in its entirety: NV Legislature AB 408 

 

Beforeitsnews.com will be headquarters for exclusive live coverage presented by Pete Santilli in a live stream event on site at the Bundy ranch.

 

Beforeitsnews partnering with Peter Santili’s Guerilla Media Network will have round the clock coverage of the Bundy Ranch / Nevada Land grab event coming up on April 10, 11, 12th? Stay Tuned!

 

The feds are once again trying to impose their wills on the citizens and ranchers of Nevada with this latest tactic and cloaked land grab.

 

The feds continue to ignore our rights to own land and maintain that land.

      Hello Angle#3 (prelim),

      Charlie here. Isn’t it funny how “We the People” gave the consent to be ruled by elected officials who were only elected to secure and enforce the rights of the consented and we end up instead fighting against them from the very beginning to we now have a MASSIVE bureaucracy draining the life blood out of the very people who created it?

      It’s like having doughnuts in your coffee instead of doughnuts WITH your coffee.

      Signed,

      Charlie (but I digress)

      The land is not even public or very probably lawfully under American Jurisdiction being abandoned by both Spain and its colony Mexico while under Spanish crown authority.

      This left its Ranchos and natives as sole occupants for decades while the civil wars played out, meaning the Ranchos despite occupying and using vast tracts of abandoned Spanish crown property gained the squatters rights equivalent in Spanish law, from 1810 – 1821 Spain abandoned he territories north of Mexico and Mexico never ruled them at all.

      Of course Federal American authorities refuse to accept that a) their law is not applicable to land rights gained before the territories came under their control or that b) Rights claimed by forfeiture or purchase of the territories from Mexico may be entirely without legal foundation because Mexico was not the legal owner, Spain was and the Ranchos under Spanish law now had possession.

      The land is not legally public unless sold/donated to the American state by the actual owners.
