A federal land grab being imposed under the guise of
environmental protection in Southern Nevada has been labeled an act of
“deliberate retaliation” by Cliven Bundy, the rancher who was at the
center of a standoff between BLM agents and armed militia groups earlier
this year.
On Sunday, the Bundy family posted a Facebook entry
which asserted that, “the federal government is mounting retaliations
against the Bundy family and the Southern Nevada people,” after it was
announced that the feds intended to designate around 1.8 million acres
of land around their Gold Butte range as critical to the environment.
The initial dispute between Bundy and the feds, which culminated in an armed standoff
between BLM agents and Bundy supporters back in April, centered around
more than $1 million in grazing fees which authorities claimed Bundy
owed stretching back two decades.
The Bundy family asserts that the new draft Resource
Management Plan made public by the Bureau of Land Management would place
up to 3 million acres of land off limits to recreational use,
agriculture or ranching.
“They’re trying to surround us by controlling all the
land. People should know they’re doing this without the knowledge of the
people who use it,” Carol Bundy told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Days after the standoff came to a head earlier this
year, after which the feds were forced to release nearly 400 cattle
belonging to Bundy, Nevada Senator Harry Reid labeled Bundy supporters “domestic terrorists” and indicated that the fight was not over.
“From near the beginning of history, tyrannical men have
sought to oppress through the control of land and resources, “Control
the land and resources, and you have the power to control the people”.
There is a direct correlation to land and resources with power and
wealth. All major powers in world history have gained their power &
wealth by conquering the land and controlling the resources,” states the
Bundy Facebook post, adding that Areas of Critical Environmental
Concern (ACECs) “have been a tool used by the federal government to gain
further control of large masses of western lands and the resources.”
The BLM’s latest move to seize huge tracts of land
surrounding Bundy’s property under the justification of environmental
protection suggests that we could witness part two of the ‘Battle of
Bunkerville’ sometime over the next few months.
The comment period for the BLM’s new proposal ends on January 7th after a series of public meetings set to begin on Monday.
