If the Chinese solar link did not exist why did the BLM erase that page from their website? I'd rather support a senile old fool with integrity than Reid's dynasty of influence peddling. Read my shoplifter statement again. I believe your missing something. Not sure how but it seems you've pulled it off.
So a spot is set to offset the impact of a solar farm and he's letting his cattle graze there when they shouldnt? That doesnt cut into the solar farms business, it cuts into the enviroments business. The solar farm can run as normal whether bundy grazes that area or not. There are alot of alloted grazing areas in the area, this just shows bundy isnt complying with the Taylor grazing act and is letting his cows graze anywhere he feels like.
Here's why you don't see what I see. I shun TV. I get zero. I can't be emotionally dicked with by a camera crew and some ominous verbiage. I heard him interviewed three times by friendly folks. He's got NO CASE. Bundy is a nut. He's represented HIMSELF in federal suits BECAUSE NO SANE LAWYER WOULD DO IT FOR HIM. OK, that's JUST Bundy. BLM: Scum. Big Fed: Big Scum. But BLM's scumbaggery doesn't elevate a nut.
Actually, that quote is in reference to other groups, not the BLM, who are concerned that they can't use Gold Butte as a wildlife mitigation area for animals displaced by already existing solar farms. http://www.thewildlifenews.com/2014...issing-blm-page-connecting-to-harry-reid-not/ - - - Updated - - - Your article is from 2012, which is a bit outdated for this story, considering that the Chinese company in question abandoned the plan to build the solar farm back in June 2013. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/201...right-now-about-the-nevada-rancher-situation/
Think Harry Reid has managed to call a whole lot of attention to his ethics with this one. Holder will ignore it of course but there maybe some hungry investigative reporter will try and get to the bottom of all of his interest in the Bundy Ranch
If you have lived in a rural area, you would know that livestock gets out of pastures even if fenced. Thats not the point. The point is that the BLM and Reid's defenders have claimed there is no link to the solar project in any way. That was clearly a lie. The BLM included the solar project explicitely in their justification (overreaction) to sending an army to deal with Bundy. And if you read this BLM document Regional Mitigation strategy for the Dry Lake Solar energy Zone: Technical Note 444" found here: http://www.blm.gov/pgdata/etc/medialib/blm/wo/blm_library/tech_notes.Par.29872.File.dat/TN_444.pdf you will see that the Chinese solar power project is the reason for the displacement of so many people from the same region Bundy lives. The document focuses on the Gold Butte area where Bundy lives. The solar plant is located elsewhere, but the damage to the local ecology by the solar plant must be mitigated with other land (like carbon credits, you can do damage in one place if you do restoration somewhere else). The mitigation area is Gold Butte. So if the Chinese solar plant can't show they have mitigated their damage to the environment, then money doesn't change hands. And guess what? That money goes into BLM's coffers.
Sure we do. This crap is happening all around us. One politician after another is wheeling and dealing our land, money and freedom away for the highest dollar and it goes unreported. This scofflaw has single-handedly exposed Reid and his son. Maybe, just maybe, this gets the ball rolling. No doubt Bundy is a scofflaw. Then again, so were our Founding Fathers in the eyes of our pre-Revoluton government.
Really? Where in that quote does it say anything about ENN and its solar farm project? You can ignore my counterpoints if you like, but I will just keep coming back to rub them in your face. Do you even know where the Dry Lake Energy Zone is? It's on the opposite side of Lake Mead from Gold Butte. Do you understand what wildlife mitigation means? It's about finding safe habitats for endangered animals; it has nothing to do with building a new solar plant. It's about creating an area in Nevada that is safe for animals that have been displaced by existing energy farms.
LOL, you are so intent on defending the indefensible that you didn't even read your own post. Gold Butte is the mitigation area for the wildlife displaced by the Chinese solar plant.
I was favoring Bundy until I looked closely at the details this afternoon. Two decades the BLM peacefully tried to work this out. How long would you wait to try to remove someone camped out on front lawn before you went out, pulled down his tent, and punched him in the face? I'm betting it'd be a lot less than 2 decades.
And of course there are those here defending the bigger thief. Reid. Trample the little guy for the benefit of the powerful. Nice.
That's why your beloved quote mentions nothing about China or even ENN, right? It's a proposed mitigation area for the Dry Lake Energy Zone, where solar farms already exist. The ENN abandoned it's project almost a year ago.
Get with the program, this is a forum. Each post is not an encyclopedia of the subject. Participants are expected to be able to keep up with the thread and the subject. If you can't keep up, don't comment.
You mean your post in which you agreed with everything I claimed? Perhaps you should go read the thread again, cogitate a moment, and then you might realize you actually agree with me.
I don't care if he was delinquent on his fees for five decades! There are better ways of settling this matter than invading Bundy's ranch with an illegal paramilitary army! I don't know how many ways I can say it. Unless you killed someone NO ONE deserves to have guns in their face and copters circling their property. When the leftist turds that want their pound of flesh from Cliven Bundy for breaking the law start to show the same zeal and energy when it comes to stopping the millions of illegal aliens who have absolutely no regards for our laws (and cost the taxpayers billions annually) then I'll admit they have a point... instead of merely having the ability to hate on command.
Well, that's the kind of thing that happens when you say you'll do anything to protect your illegal cattle range, organize an army of armed protesters to resist the feds, and go around kicking police dogs. Well, if you're making threats of violence, I'd say you deserve a gun in your face. It's funny. I've never actually heard anyone outside of politics who supported amnesty for illegal immigrants, regardless of their political views. It seems to me to be the viewpoint of nobody but corrupt politicians. - - - Updated - - - Oh cool, so you've come to senses and seen that ENN abandoned its solar energy farm last June and the mitigation area has nothing to do with any new solar farms but has been proposed for already existing energy farms in the Dry Lake Energy zone, none of which are owned by Chinese companies. You could've just said that. That's great, though. Glad we could work this out without any helicopters or an armed standoff.
LOL, I see you are trying to split hairs. I'll even give you the pass on China, but thats irrelevent. Reid is a crook, he wants the Gold Butte area free of people so he can use it as a mitigation area for his land scams (solar and other), and he is using the BLM as his errand boy to force Bundy out. Remember, "abandoned" today, reinstated tomorrow. Its all a shell game for types like Reid. But I dont mind keeping this back and forth going, I think I get points for every post in this thread.
