Obama's 'Culture of Intimidation' Seen At The Bundy Ranch

The standoff at the Bundy Ranch last weekend in Nevada seems to be only the tip of iceberg when it comes to threats, bullying and intimidation employed by the Obama Administration's "culture of intimidation."

The Washington Times wrote:

Sending scores of armed agents along with helicopters and dogs to confront an elderly Nevada rancher over grazing fees may seem like overkill, but critics say it’s not inconsistent with the federal government’s recent approach to environmental enforcement. 

The simmering truce between the Bundys and the Bureau of Land Management comes after high-profile raids last year by armed federal agents on small-time gold miners in tiny Chicken, Alaska, and guitar makers at the Gibson Guitar facilities in Tennessee.

That doesn’t include more subtle threats, such as recent efforts by the Obama administration to raise grazing fees or pressure permit holders to transfer their water rights as a condition of renewal, said Ryan Yates, director of congressional relations for the American Farm Bureau.

Thankfully, armed Bundy supporters are remaining at the ranch. They are patrolling the ranch and are on the lookout for a return of the BLM. This may be due in part to Sen. Harry Reid's flapping mouth the other day when he said that "it's not over." Sounds like a not-too-veiled-threat to me.

Considering where Obama is from, Chicago, famous for "Gestapo tactics" that were decried by Sen. Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut in 1968, this really shouldn't have come as any surprise.

Crooked Dingy Harry Reid Kin Plotting To Grab Bundy Ranch Lands

Reports that the Chinese want the land that was/is the center of the dispute between the federal government (the Bureau of Land Management or BLM) and rancher Cliven Bundy appear to be confirmed. And, Nevada Senator "Dingy" Harry Reid's son Rory is up to his eyeballs involved.

Newsmax is reporting:

The Nevada rancher who forced the federal Bureau of Land Management to back down last week may have been targeted because a Chinese solar company with ties to Sen. Harry Reid's son wants the land for an energy plant, several websites report. 

A report on Godfatherpolitics.com, says Chinese energy giant ENN Energy Group wants to use federal land as part of its effort to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel-building plant in the southern Nevada desert. Rory Reid, the son of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, is representing ENN in their efforts to locate in Nevada. 

Part of the land ENN wants to use was purchased from Clark County at well below appraised value. Rory Reid is the former Clark County Commission chairman, and he persuaded the commission to sell 9,000 acres of county land to ENN on the promise it would provide jobs for the area, Reuters reported in 2012.

In addition to the county acreage, the federal Bureau of Land Management at one time was looking at BLM property under dispute with cattle rancher Cliven Bundy. The BLM is headed by former Harry Reid senior policy adviser Neil Kornz. 

According to BizPac Review, BLM documents indicate that the federal property for which Bundy claims grazing rights were under consideration by a solar energy company.

It appears that the plot is thickening! Crony capitalism with the Chinese communists!

UPDATE:

RENO, Nev. (MyNews4.com & KRNV) -- Senate majority leader Harry Reid hasn't been very vocal about the cattle battle showdown in recent days, but says "it's not over." 

Tyranny In Nevada

“No cow justifies the atmosphere of intimidation which currently exists nor the limitation of constitutional rights that are sacred to all Nevadans.”

- Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval

Governor, then why don't you send in the National Guard to defend Cliven Bundy's rights and disperse the BLM thugs?

From the Washington Times:

Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s decades-long battle against the federal government over grazing rights has heated to the point where militia groups have joined in and taken up spots against the feds who’ve circled his land — and talk is, they’re not afraid to open fire. 

A spokesman for the one of the militia groups said as much to local 8 News Now: I’m not “afraid to shoot,” he said. 

Margaret Houston, Mr. Bundy’s sister and a cancer survivor, said at a town hall gathering this week that the situation “was like a war zone” and that she felt “like I was not in the United States,” The Daily Mail reported. 

The Las Vegas Review-Journal described it this way: “Serious bloodshed was narrowly avoided,” in a story about how dogs were unleashed on a woman who was pregnant while the rancher’s son was hit with a taser. 

On Tuesday, armed Bureau of Land Management agents stormed Mr. Bundy’s property, escalating a court dispute that’s wound for two decades over the rancher’s refusal to pay for grazing fees.

“Our mission here is to protect the protestors and the American citizens from the violence that the federal government is dishing out.”

- Jim Landy, West Mountain Rangers

From Newsmax:

Tea party groups and Libertarians have joined in the widening battle over grazing rights between Nevada cattle rancher Cliven Bundy and federal authorities. 

Elected officials in states ranging from Arizona to Washington were rushing to Nevada on Thursday night after watching a startling video of an angry clash between protesters, including private militias, and U.S. Bureau of Land Management rangers, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. 

The 10-minute video showed Bundy's son Ammon being tasered and Cliven's sister Margaret Bundy-Houston, a cancer survivor, being tackled to the ground by a ranger.  

"Watching that video last night created a visceral reaction in me," said Arizona Rep. Kelly Townsend, a tea party Republican who drove from Phoenix to take part in a protest rally in Bunkerville near Bundy's 160-acre ranch. "It sounds dramatic, but it reminded me of Tiananmen Square. I don't recognize my country at this point."
