Bundy is currently embroiled in a spat with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) over his long standing refusal to acknowledge a 1993 modification to grazing rights on land that Bundy asserts has been in his family since 1870. On Saturday, hundreds of federal officials, aided by helicopters, low flying aircraft and hired cowboys, began rounding up Bundy’s cattle in northeastern Clark County. 
The feds say the move is about enforcing the law and protecting the endangered desert tortoise, but the Bundy family says the spat represents a showdown between big government and American farmers.
“We’ve had enough, we’re going to take our land back, we’re done,” said Bundy’s wife, Carol Bundy, adding that the rally was held “to show that we are not standing alone. People are getting tired of the federal government having unlimited power.”
More than 100 supporters violated a crudely taped off “First Amendment Area” to rally in support of the Bundy family, erecting two flagpoles with the words “We the People” attached, above a flag which read, “Liberty Freedom For God We Stand”. The first amendment area stood empty, with one sign nearby declaring, “1st Amendment is not an area.”
“I grew up on this ranch. This is what we knew,” said Margaret Houston, Cliven Bundy’s younger sister. “It’s got nothing to do with the cattle and the tortoises. It’s about taking our rights — power — and it’s wrong.”
“Right now it looks like the movie Red Dawn, said, Ryan Bundy. “Right now we’ve got 200 plus federal agents up there in a military compound that they have put together and they’ve got snipers….everybody’s armed, and they’ve been monitoring our ranch with high-tech surveillance equipment….it was never about the grazing fees, it’s about control.”
After his son’s arrest, Cliven Bundy posted a statement on his website which read, “They have my cattle and now they have one of my boys. Range War begins tomorrow.”
If I was in Nevada I would stand with them. Things are really coming to a head real quick. Don’t think that you are immune.
Time to learn about the de facto system and the de jure system that myself and Sigma6 have been talking about for couple years. If we don’t understand it and aren’t willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters, we will get what we deserve for our complacency and acquiescence none of us are immune.
It was the farm claims debacle which got me into this rabbit hole, the stealing of the farmers land, and the judicial system, even though they took it all the way to the Supreme Court and won, they NEVER got their land back or were compensated.
Then there was Waco. Over 80 men, women and children were burned alive. Koresh was made out to be a wacko, but he actually understood sovereignty and NOT being a 14th amendment corporate citizen. Then there was the Montana Freemen ranch siege, and Ruby Ridge.
Then there are thousands of other stories of people losing their homes, being harassed, like ECETI Ranch. Dean Clifford is IN JAIL (solitary) since November 24th WITH NO SHOW CAUSE HEARING!!
When is enough enough?
