Re: Reid calls Bundy supporters ‘domestic terrorists’
As always, follow the money...and political sleaze.
The head of the BLM, Neil Kornze, at age 34, is the youngest agency head in the BLM's history. He got that job because he was Senator Harry Reid's senior policy adviser from 2003 - 2011. In 2012, he proposed to create a national conservation area at Gold Butte, Nevada. His bill would create a 350,000 acre Gold Butte National Conservation Area to be managed by the BLM. The Bundy Ranch is the last one left in this vast landscape.
Enter the desert tortoise. Clark County, in which this entire drama unfolded, has been busy buying up federal cattle grazing leases in Gold Butte (Bundy Ranch) for the purported purpose of creating a safe habitat for this "endangered species". Meanwhile, Neil Kornze, head of the BLM, has proven highly reticent to explain why his agency has been killing these tortoises off in their hundreds, every year, for many years.
Enter Wang Yusuo, one of China's richest men, who met with Harry Reid in 2012 for the purpose of acquiring a lease on a vast tract of Nevada land to establish the MOAPA Southern Paiute Solar Project.
Enter Rory Reid, Josh Reid, Lief Reid, Key Reid, and Steve Barringer, all of them related to Senator Harry Reid, and all of them lobbyists for the project whose firms stand to make tens of millions of dollars when the solar farm goes through. And of course Senator Harry Reid is doing all this out of the goodness of his heart, right? How many millions he's making will probably not be disclosed till he retires from his senate seat.
But first, a Nevada rancher named Bundy, one of the last of his breed, must be stomped under the jackboot of federal government rot. And the world scratches its head wondering why 200 automatic weapon-toting Americans showed up at Bundy’s ranch ready to die for what they believe in.
