LAS VEGAS, NV, April 10, 2014
The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA.org), led by retired Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack, and the Oath Keepers organization (oathkeepers.org) are assisting Washington State Representative Matt Shea in organizing a delegation of current serving Western state legislators and Sheriffs to travel to the site of a tense stand-off between Bunkerville, Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The delegation is traveling to Nevada to support a coalition of current serving Nevada legislators being organized by Nevada State Assemblywoman Michele Fiore, of Las Vegas, to stand vigil at the Bundy ranch to prevent Federal Government provocation of violence resulting in another Ruby Ridge or Waco type incident. They also hope that their example of oath-sworn public servants defending the rights of the people will prompt Clark County, Nevada Sheriff Douglas Gillespie and Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval to honor their oaths of office by taking real action to defend the rights of the Bundy family, the rights of all Nevadans, and the sovereignty of the State of Nevada.
Yesterday, April 9, 2014, Nevada State Assemblywoman Michele Fiore served the first watch in this vigil shortly after Cliven Bundy's son, Ammon Bundy, was tazered by BLM "Rangers" during a heated confrontation. The video of that confrontation can be seen right here at the bottom of the page.
The courage and resolve displayed by Ammon Bundy and his relatives is inspiring, and may well go down in history as a watershed moment - a turning of the tide. But the above video also amply demonstrates the heavy-handed behavior of the BLM that risks escalating an already volatile situation into open bloodshed, that, once begun, may spiral out of anyone's control.
It is necessary that current serving public servants step in-between the protesters and the BLM, to protect the rights of the people and to prevent violence against them by the militarized federal law enforcement that are massing near the ranch to continue the forced confiscation (theft) of Bundy's cattle, while they also restrict all access to huge tracts of public land, and attempt to restrict the free speech of protesters with their absurd "First Amendment Area" (which the protesters are ignoring, to their honor).
The Oath Keepers organization, comprised of 40,000 current serving and former military, police, and first responders, is also calling on its members and all other patriotic Americans to join the vigil at the Bundy ranch under the leadership of the current serving legislators and sheriffs. The goal is to have at least one current serving state legislator and at least one sheriff on the ground at all times until this is over. And they will be backed by a large number of military and police veterans, as well as dedicated patriotic Americans from all walks of life, to interpose and defend the rights of the protesters and to keep an eye on the actions of the BLM and any other federal law enforcement present, to prevent a recurrence of the horrid abuses seen at Ruby Ridge and Waco, and to hopefully pressure the Clark County Sheriff and the Nevada Governor to step up and do their constitutional duty.
Regardless, please tell everyone you know to be praying for a peaceful resolution to this situation and for the safety of the brave patriots headed there and on the ground there right now.

God Bless these men that came to the Bundy Family aid......
Thank you, 5War, for this posting ! Am following closely by 4-5 sites I subscribe to but this is the first response I've seen by the Oathkeepers.
Breaking: Sen. Harry Reid Behind BLM Land Grab of Bundy Ranch BLM a...
I’m not yet ready to buy into this story. I think it very possibly is being used for a cover for a much, much bigger story called Agenda21. I’m keeping the doors of my thinking wide open on this. It is so obvious, too obvious, and it only took a bit of research. Guess who breaks the story? Alex Jones, who is married to a Jew. Could it be that the chits are being called in? I don’t know, but I’m not rolling over for this one, not yet. ~J

Thanks to D and D.
The Bureau of Land Management, whose director was Sen. Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) former senior adviser, has purged documents from its web site stating that the agency wants Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s cattle off of the land his family has worked for over 140 years in order to make way for solar panel power stations.
Deleted from BLM.gov but reposted for posterity by the Free Republic, the BLM document entitled “Cattle Trespass Impacts” directly states that Bundy’s cattle “impacts” solar development, more specifically the construction of “utility-scale solar power generation facilities” on “public lands.”
“Non-Governmental Organizations have expressed concern that the regional mitigation strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone utilizes Gold Butte as the location for offsite mitigation for impacts from solar development, and that those restoration activities are not durable with the presence of trespass cattle,” the document states.
Another BLM report entitled Regional Mitigation Strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone (BLM Technical Note 444) reveals that Bundy’s land in question is within the “Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone and surrounding area” which is part of a broad U.S. Department of Energy program for “Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States” on land “managed” by BLM.
“In 2012, the BLM and the U.S. Department of Energy published the Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States,” the report reads. “The Final Solar Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement assessed the impact of utility-scale solar energy development on public lands in the six southwestern states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah.”
“The Approved Resource Management Plan Amendments/Record of Decision (ROD) for Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States implemented a comprehensive solar energy program for public lands in those states and incorporated land use allocations and programmatic and SEZ-specific design features into land use plans in the six-state study area.”
Back in 2012, the New American reported that Harry Reid’s son, Rory Reid, was the chief representative for a Chinese energy firm planning to build a $5-billion solar plant on public land in Laughl....
And journalist Marcus Stern with Reuters also reported that Sen. Reid was heavily involved in the deal as well.
“[Reid] and his oldest son, Rory, are both involved in an effort by a Chinese energy giant, ENN Energy Group, to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel manufacturing plant in the southern Nevada desert,” he wrote. “Reid has been one of the project’s most prominent advocates, helping recruit the company during a 2011 trip to China and applying his political muscle on behalf of the project in Nevada.”
“His son, a lawyer with a prominent Las Vegas firm that is representing ENN, helped it locate a 9,000-acre (3,600-hectare) desert site that it is buying well below appraised value from Clark County, where Rory Reid formerly chaired the county commission.”
Although these reports are in plain view, the mainstream media has so far ignored this link.
The BLM’s official reason for encircling the Bundy family with sniper teams and helicopters was to protect the endangered desert tortoise, which the agency has previously been killing in mass due to “budget constraints.”
“A tortoise isn’t the reason why BLM is harassing a 67 year-old rancher; they want his land,” journalist Dana Loesch wrote. “The tortoise wasn’t of concern when [U.S. Senator] Harry Reid worked with BLM to literally change the boundaries of the tortoise’s habitat to accommodate the development of his top donor, Harvey Whittemore.”
“Reid is accused of using the new BLM chief as a puppet to control Nevada land (already over 84% of which is owned by the federal government) and pay back special interests,” she added. “BLM has proven that they’ve a situational concern for the desert tortoise as they’ve had no problem waiving their rules concerning wind or solar power development. Clearly these developments have vastly affected a tortoise habitat more than a century-old, quasi-homesteading grazing area.”
“If only Cliven Bundy were a big Reid donor.”
Update: The Drudge Report, the #1 news aggregate site in the world, has now picked up this story. Unfortunately for the BLM, the documents they wanted to delete are now exposed for the world to see.
Update #2: ENN Energy Group describes itself as a “privately-owned clean energy distributor in China.” However, as the People’s Republic of China is a single-party state governed by the Communist Party, all large companies in China, one way or the other, are either controlled or are heavily influenced by the Chinese government.
Infowars reporter David Knight confronts the Clark County Sheriff’s Office about this land grab – WARNING some strong language:
Alex crystallizes Sen. Reid’s involvement in the Nevada land grab:

What I want to know is where in the Constitution is the federal government given the authority to have a Bureau of land management?
The Constitution and article 1Section states that Congress shall have power to exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever over such district (not to exceed 10 miles square) as may by Cession of particular states, and acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the Government of the United States and exercise like Authority over all places pursuant to a consent of the Legislation of the State and in which the same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards and other needful Buildings.
I see no place when they were given any authority over farmland or ranchland or any other land. When territories were turned into states the government had no more authority over any land. The land belonged to the people living in that state.
Again thank you, 5 War, for this posting ! To show support or learn more about this Agenda 21 situation:
http://gov.nvgov/contact/ tell the governor what a coward you think he is !
Clark Cty. Sheriff office = 1-702-828-3233 = "HONOR YOUR OATH" !!
for some history.......https://www.youtube.com/user/jaredwal
You hit a hot spot, Mr. Dale. One in which Mr. Bundy addresses in one of the videos I've seen. He argues at a town meeting that the fed. gov. has no right to do this, state lands belong to the individual states for jurisdiction. A slow erosion of our rights ! BLM was supposedly formed to aid the ranchers in management of the public land used for grazing & the ranchers paid dues to them & paid for leases to graze. This allowed farmers to supply more meats to the market than their farms could support. BLM turned "Nazi" & Bundy quit paying dues. He has made improvements at his OWN expense: fencing to protect cattle from roadways & drilled water wells. They ignored his non-paid dues till Harry Reid either made a deal (or is trying) to sell public land to the Chinese to supposedly build solar farms.
So tired of this tyrannical government!!!!!!! Its 2204 miles to Bunkerville from here but I may have to head in that direction!!
Me, too, 5War, & sharing everything to fb ! Don't discount the wrath of an old lady ! LOL
I am trying to assess if the Feds have given up. This video taken on April 11, with Cliven Bundy himself, stating as much:
http://www.activistpost.com/2014/04/bundy-we-won-one-battle.html
However, this morning, April 12, I am still seeing reports of the situation as ongoing. Anyone have accurate update?
Is there any current video? Have they indeed turned off the cell towers in that area to prevent reporting?
