Bundy actually owns water and forage rights to this land. He paid for these rights. He built fences, established water ways, and constructed roads with his own money, with the approval of Nevada and BLM.


But he doesn't this has already been struck down in court.

That's not correct.

The land for the energy company has already been sold. It was the land set aside for the tortoise.

After selling the land, the have to move the tortoise habitat to the grazing lands. That is the hang up.

From my understanding.

Has it?
Or is it simply that his claim as to amount, recipient and contingencies of some of the payments has been "struck down"

Then give it back and give them their money back and leave the tortoise alone.

The court ordered the BLM to confiscate and sell his cows. What does that tell you?

I'd suggest watching the movie that your avi is taken from.. I've interacted with you a few times on here and it's funny that you take the word of the the mainstream as truth, yet the movie your avi is from is about social engineering through media.

BLM admitted on their website that the energy project could not proceed until the cattle were gone. What about that is not being understood?

The turtles are just paws in this, they mean nothing. They're trying to make it seem like this is about the turtles by shuffling things around.

We are talking about an overall area half the size of the state of Delaware. You think the turtles had to be moved to Bundy's grazing lands?

So the energy project is being built on land that is critical to the desert tortoise?

I believe it was ruled that he did not have any rights to those lands and that the lands were owned solely by the US government.

Due to this his cows were ordered to be removed from that land.

No, they just had to be moved.

When Bundy quit paying his grazing rights that land became unused in the eyes of the government.



Which brings me back to my original question:

By not paying grazing rights, what gives Bundy the right to deny the US gov't the use of its land?

Interesting, if the land is protected then how does a company but the rights to tear it up to place solar panels? We cant even dig a hole in National Park to put up a sign without it being reviewed. The review entails looking at said land and what the impact that digging would have on plants fauna and water. I was miffed when NPS rangers were out there with the other feds. Such a bunch of BS

Because frick the government. That's why. If they hadn't made such a hoopla about it by sending 200 armed agents with snipers for a cattle drive no one would be on his side. But they did. And no the perception is that the government used armed force to steal a private citizens property who was just trying to earn a living. And perception is reality. Facts don't mean shite in politics or the court of public opinion.

This could have been done with the local county sheriff going to his door and saying "Sorry buddy, you didn't pay taxes on these cattle, I'm gonna have to confiscate them."
