Like a idiot i clicked here, and now i need to point out that:
These corporate news stories quoted here have heaps of fiction in them.
Bundy did pay his grazing fees to the State, but they were returned to him because the BLM claims to own the land.
So, the custodians, or BLM showed up in full swat type gear to collect fees? Speculation is that if the x-military snipers had not gotten a bead on the BLM's hired mercenary snipers, then there would have been a Waco type encounter.
Veterans standing up to corporate fascism is the way many are viewing this.
All across the west these so called feds are grabbing the land on the pretext of preserving some animal like a turtle, then they end up selling it cheap to developers, miners, ect. The story here being that harry reed had a deal with chineese solar farm developers.
Whatever the use was going to be, the hired goons came in to get those families off that land and they started out by tasering a pregnant woman. They also murdered cattle and buried them in shallow graves. By some coincidence blm had brought dozers, dump trucks, and heavy fire power to this exercise.
This is a real issue since there are quite a few states that are looking at getting free from the feds.
The spin of calling vets terrorists, when they are defending the last farmer in that area from being rolled over is just evil.
