Nevada Cattle Rancher Wins 'Range War' With Feds

Federal agents clash with armed protestors over a rancher's 20-year tax fight.

ABC News

A Nevada cattle rancher appears to have won his week-long battle with the federal government over a controversial cattle roundup that had led to the arrest of several protesters.

Cliven Bundy went head to head with the Bureau of Land Management over the removal of hundreds of his cattle from federal land, where the government said they were grazing illegally.

Bundy claims his herd of roughly 900 cattle have grazed on the land along the riverbed near Bunkerville, 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas, since 1870 and threatened a "range war" against the BLM on the Bundy Ranch website after one of his sons was arrested while protesting the removal of the cattle.

"I have no contract with the United States government," Bundy said. "I was paying grazing fees for management and that's what BLM was supposed to be, land managers and they were managing my ranch out of business, so I refused to pay."

The federal government had countered that Bundy "owes the American people in excess of $1 million " in unpaid grazing fees and "refuses to abide by the law of land, despite many opportunities over the last 20 years to do so."

However, today the BLM said it would not enforce a court order to remove the cattle and was pulling out of the area.

Victory for Bundy and Freedom!

Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie made an announcement moments ago and ordered BLM off the Bundy land. People from around the country that traveled to Nevada in support of states rights and property rights are rejoicing at the end to this federal land grab and overreach. It looks like the one person who has the authority to tell BLM to leave the premises and cease operations has done so.

NOTE: TPNN’s Greg Campbell is at the Bundy Ranch and will be updating this story, including pictures and videos, soon. Stay tuned!

I would not pop the champagne corks just yet. As soon as the crowds leave the Bundy Ranch the BLM might just swoop in as quick as they can to kick him off, so We The People have to be the new Minutemen, ready to move in an instant to the defense of our fellow Americans threatened by the illegitimate and unconstitutional regime in Washington DC.

The good news is that the interview with one of the BLM Rangers, who admitted feeling ashamed over what he was being ordered to do, revealed that the government's stooges have little stomach to enforce the unconstitutional "laws" decreed by DC against an armed populace. And if it works at the Bundy Ranch, it can work at the local military recruiting offices, Obamacare facilities, and tax offices! In that context, this is a victory for We The People.

I abhor Alex Jones but I must give credit where credit is due. It does appear (to me anyway) that these two events may have been causally connected. Pointing this out to readers is within the pale.

So uplifting. After hearing depressing, demoralizing & overbearing news day after day, it's nice to be reminded that we CAN beat these evil mother fuckers if we wake-up & stand-up.

Liberty burgers for everyone!

Actually I propose that all those cattle that were taken hostage by the criminal Nazi feds, be pardoned & allowed to live out their natural lives, free to graze, as a tribute to their role in this momentous victory for We The People. They earned it.
