So, then we need to find out what is the real issue.

In a new report, we find Sen. Harry Reid’s son Rory had cut a deal with a Chinese company for a solar field right where Bundy’s cattle were grazing – for way under real-market value. So, can we assume this deal is the real reason? Let’s look at the facts: On BLM’s website (until the agency tried to erase it), it states in the mitigation plan that “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. Cliven Bundy cattle needed to be seized to get this solar project underway.”

Funny that the mitigation plan was written by the BLM – that is, the fox watching the hen house. The issue here is this: Politicians are using congressionally created agencies – BLM, EPA, etc. – to enrich their pocketbooks and take the American people off our own land. This is our land, not the federal government’s. It is time we start stating the same thing Harry Reid told the American people last week, in that “The American people just can’t go breaking laws and not get punished.” Well, the same goes for Reid and any other politicians (both sides of the aisle) who abuse our system of a constitutional republic. The Bundy Ranch just opened the Pandora’s box of the corruption of the BLM and other agencies. About time.
