An
area just outside of the
little town of Bunkerville, Nevada, with a population of around a
thousand people, may go down in history. This little spot in the
desert may be compared with Lexington, Massachusetts, the site of the
“shot heard round the world” – the first shot fired in the
American Revolution. Because it looks like the second American
Revolution may start there…and soon.
It
has been reported that tensions were running high outside of
Bunkerville. It seems that the US government, in all of their
infinite wisdom, has declared war on a cattle rancher named Cliven
Bundy.
In
a stand-off that has been likened to Ruby
Ridge and Waco,
the federal government has now deployed armed agents in a case of
what the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) has deemed “trespass cattle,” escalating a
20-year battle over grazing rights and what actually constitutes
“public land” use in Southern Nevada.
Cliven Bundy, a 67-year-old rancher says his family has worked the 600,000-acre Gold Butte area since the late 1800s and that they were there well before the government’s Land Management Bureau ever came along. (source)
Armed
federal officers have arrived to steal Bundy’s cattle and close
down the land he is using. What’s more, they have declared a zone
around the area to be free of the restrictions of the Constitution,
specifically, the First
Amendment right to assemble and speak freely. They’d like to
keep their reprehensible actions quiet and out of the public eye.
It’s really difficult to mow down a bunch of protesters ala Waco
with the whole world watching. MORE
