"I want to stress to all of you that as the sheriff of Clark County I cannot interfere with the Federal government when it is operating on Federal land," Gillespie said. "And because this is BLM property, it is in their jurisdiction. But when a group of protesters threaten civil unrest or violence in this county -- it is my job to step in and ensure the safety of citizens."

BLM returns cattle.
SOURCE
The I-Team has learned the deal to end the gather was brokered by Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie. According to sources, the BLM wants to proceed with the sale of the cattle already gathered during the roundup but is reportedly willing to share the revenue from the sale with Bundy.

I am far from being a Gillespie fan, but in this case he handled things quite well. I take it you are a local alsoedit on Sun, 13 Apr 2014 18:46:11 -050020142014-04-13T18:46:11-05:00kfSunday46America/ChicagoSun, 13 Apr 2014 18:46:11 -0500 by rockflier because: Punctuation

Forgive me.
But where did Bundy say all that?
Are they banning hiking and camping on open grazing areas?
The resource values found in
the Gold Butte ACEC are threatened
by: unauthorized activities,
including off-road vehicle use,
illegal dumping, and trespass
livestock grazing; wildfire; and weed
infestation. Existing burned areas,
unauthorized roads and trails, and
areas disturbed by other activities
await funding for rehabilitation.
Neutralizing these threats and
restoring altered ecological systems
are the focus of the regional
mitigation proposed for this area. ............

This solar project, if I am not mistaken, is with the Chinese company in concert with Rory Reid, Dingy Harry's son.

Take a look at this .... may be some coincidences?
Does any of this make sense?
The BLM appears to have been attempting to begin a BLM program to "clear" the areas set forth in a BLM report last month related to a solar power project called "Dry Lake" right smack-dab in the Bundy area.
This is about the Gold Butte project area.
go to page 36 of the BLM report pdf and see
BLM report March 2014 (warning - Official Government website)

^^ "trespass livestock grazing" ^^
The whole page is 100% consistent with what was/is happening
Bundy's cattle are the only cattle there. No other ranchers are there.
The Gold Butte project *IS* in Bundy's area !!!
and go to page 11 and read how they have meetings and what not that include "Stakeholder Involvement".
This new report was published by the BLM last month.

Yes I know the area. Been there.
I'm not arguing your points.
Just asking questions because the BLM is heavily involved with that new solar project.
I'm just wondering if you are seeing anything that indicates a connection.
here's another related thread if you want to comment.....

Garbage like the Bundy crime syndicate need to be terminated by whatever means necessary. They are clearly a threat to public safety.

Just a bit more insight into the Bundy fiasco.
Rory Reid and Chinese Solar Developers
Am I correct in reading that you condone the use of deadly force in this case? If so, I presume you also advocate the use of deadly force along our southern border. I certainly do in the case of the latter. Also, by the term Bundy crime syndicate, I assume you allude to the fact that he is LDS.
While I agree, to a point, that something needs to be done, your "hang 'em high" approach tends to justify the actions of the militia types that joined Bundy. Personally I believe that the dangers that Bundy and his ilk present to the U.S.A. are minuscule in comparison to the influx from the south, to include Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and others of the same. Were the PTB to devote the amount of attention and resources to the border as they did here, we could make some headway on the "undocumented" flow into our country.
I started out being somewhat neutral regarding the matter, but the more I read the responses and suggestions of the supporters of the BLM, the more I am becoming a supporter of the militia response. Not that I belong to one, unlike my brother, but as a retired Army Ranger I am beginning to think that militias are becoming a necessity.

If the land is public and in the desert near a power grid, expect it to be subject to utility grade solar power. These mirrored projects take up very little real estate compared to the PV arrays. I don't have an issue getting rid of very inefficient cattle ranching for clean solar power. So if the Bundy crime syndicate is in the way, time for them to go since they don't own the land and further, don't even pay the grazing fees.
I've watched the Crescent Dunes project over the years. For all the ranting, it had a tiny foot print.
Bottom line is the Bundy Crime Syndicate doesn't own the land, so they have no legal rights. If it wasn't for threatening federal agents with weapons, the cattle would have been herded and show over.
