Cliven Bundy Ranch In Nevada - INFO - LINKS - VIDEOS - Federal Government Public Land Takeover

This post is a collection of links to all kinds of media information related to the Cliven Bundy Nevada ranch stand-off with our "Federal Government" under the name of the "BLM" (Bureau of Land Management). I'm not a conspiracy believer or purveyor and therefore this post is going to contain links to what I determine to be "well-established sources". To me, "well-established" can mean one of three things: 1) I've been familiar with the source for several years and I trust them (keep in mind that I trust NO SOURCE 100%); 2) They are local, "mainstream" media sources; 3) They are "direct source" information that is either presented by the Bundy family (or their representatives) OR, live-recordings from the scene that have been uploaded to YouTube or other online audio/video hosting sites. This blog post will not be updated in real-time. I have two jobs and will update this post as time allows. Bookmark the link to this post if you want to keep up to date on the miscellaneous links I'll be posting here in relation to this story. All stories below are sorted by date. I've also included the actual LINK (with hyperlinks - you can click on or copy them) to each story so that you can easily see the source of the story or video before you click on it.

At the bottom of this post I will include various links related to this story. They may be links from sites that SUPPORT or OPPOSE the mission of Cliven Bundy or they may be opinion articles or videos that SUPPORT or OPPOSE Cliven's mission. I support Cliven Bundy. I may post links to the opposing side so that you have the opportunity to visit those sites and COMMENT IN SUPPORT of Cliven and OUR FREEDOM. I don't tolerate a__holes here (because I have that right on my site). Don't expect the opposition to do so on their sites, either (because they have that right on their sites). Please represent the side of FREEDOM with a calm and responsible mindset. Thank you.

Please post any links you would like to see considered for inclusion in this post in the DISQUS comment section at the bottom of this post.

Statement posted on the BLM website (emphasis mine):
Impound Operation Concluded
Statement from Director of the Bureau of Land Management Neil Kornze on the Cattle Gather in Nevada:

As we have said from the beginning of the gather to remove illegal cattle from federal land consistent with court orders, a safe and peaceful operation is our number one priority. After one week, we have made progress in enforcing two recent court orders to remove the trespass cattle from public lands that belong to all Americans.

Based on information about conditions on the ground, and in consultation with law enforcement, we have made a decision to conclude the cattle gather because of our serious concern about the safety of employees and members of the public.

We ask that all parties in the area remain peaceful and law-abiding as the Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service work to end the operation in an orderly manner.

Ranching has always been an important part of our nation’s heritage and continues throughout the West on public lands that belong to all Americans. This is a matter of fairness and equity, and we remain disappointed that Cliven Bundy continues to not comply with the same laws that 16,000 public lands ranchers do every year. After 20 years and multiple court orders to remove the trespass cattle, Mr. Bundy owes the American taxpayers in excess of $1 million. The BLM will continue to work to resolve the matter administratively and judicially.

So just like that, it's "over"?
Hardly.

Clive Bundy And His Pocket Constitution - (Nevada Rancher - Feds Removing Cattle From Public Land)

Clive Bundy is a rancher in Clark County Nevada (southernmost tip of the state) who has been fighting the federal government since approximately 1993 over the grazing rights of his cattle. The Feds (BLM - Bureau of Land Management) filed an injunction against him in 1998 (during the Clinton presidency) and now in 2014 (during the Obama presidency) they are forcibly removing his cattle with the use of helicopters as "herding devices" (my words). Some of the cows are being separated from their calves which will most likely result in the starvation of their calves. Also, the BLM has a backhoe and a dump truck on site to remove/dispose of any of the cows that have needed to be euthanized...for whatever reason. All this to protect some stupid "desert tortoise" that has survived all these years but will now somehow become extinct if these cows aren't killed...er, "removed." Aren't you loving your federal government about now? Don't forget to pay your taxes in 5 days.

Over the past few days I've read several news stories about this situation. I could provide you with 30 links about this story (none of which you'd be likely to click on - I did include several videos below). Instead, I'm going to give you the screen shot below which is from an interview that Clive Bundy did with Sean Hannity on FOX News last night.

Clive Bundy has a pocket Constitution in his pocket. I don't think this man is going to be giving in anytime soon.


FOX NEWS VIDEO - HANNITY INTERVIEW (April 9, 2014):
(According to the "timeline" provided within this interview, no action was taken against Clive Bundy during the George W. Bush presidency.)


NEWS STORY FROM KLAS-TV LAS VEGAS -
"Tensions increase as feds seize Nevada rancher's cattle" (April 9, 2014)
:


YOUTUBE VIDEO FROM THE RANCH -
"Ranch Riot!! Bundy Ranch Protesters Tasered by Federal Agents and Attacked by K9's." (April 9, 2014):



Those of you I saw in this video who were also recording this: Stay calm, everyone. Hold your cellphones horizontal (for a wide-angle shot - not "up & down" or vertical). The less you move your camera the better the video will be. If you move too much, not much will be worth viewing (or be useful) in your video. If you talk too much while you're recording, later you will probably wish you hadn't. (I learned all this from recording plenty of my own useless videos.) Necessary information is great...editorializing while you're "fired up" is not so great.

This is a great video. Great job. I wish I could stand there with all of you. I hope more citizens show up over the coming days. God knows more Feds will show up.

Will the Feds make this another Ruby Ridge?

Stay safe everyone. Keep your heads so that the people around you also remain safe.

Thank you for taking this stand. 

One final video:
"Dave Bundy, son of Clive Bundy out of Jail after arrest for defending Cattle. No Charges!"

The bruises on the left side of his face are from the BLM agent's boot smashing his face into the ground while they were arresting him. The audio in the beginning of this video is horrible, but you can get some info from it. At about 7-minutes into the video they hand him a microphone and the audio improves greatly. At 20:40 in this video there is a brief interview with Clive Bundy.

What Goes In...Must Come Out? (Abortion Filmed & On YouTube)

So, some poor, ignorant girl who counsels women who are seeking abortions got pregnant and decided to film her "experience" and subsequently posted the video of her receiving an abortion on YouTube.

This same poor, ignorant girl also disabled the comments on her YouTube video. Anyone who would like to leave a comment for poor, ignorant "Emily Letts" may do so in the comment section here on my blog. First, watch the poor, ignorant girl's video:

"Emily's Abortion Video"


In case she also disables embedding (as she disabled the comment section under her video on YouTube - RATINGS are still ON, however), here's the direct link to her video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxPUKV-WlKw (If she removes her video from YouTube, just search on YouTube for "Emily's Abortion Video", surely someone else will or has already re-uploaded it.)

I call Emily "poor" because I pity her. I call her "ignorant" because she has no thought about her own future. It's obvious she has no thought for the life she just had sucked out of her, therefore, with young girls like her, I think it's much more productive to try to convey to them what THEY are going to feel about THEMSELVES as they age. When they decide that they are "ready for children", they're always going to regret killing their firstborn. It will be a heavy weight that they'll carry with them until their own death. A vast MAJORITY of women who have had an abortion would have told that to poor, ignorant Emily if only she had asked them.

(One note about the word "ignorant": Don't confuse "ignorant" with stupid. Ignorant is fixable. Stupid is forever.)

This entire post is one big Hat Tip to Daniel at "State of Daniel". Thank you for posting your video response to poor, ignorant Emily's video, Daniel. Without your video response to poor, ignorant Emily, I'd have never seen her video.

Below is the video response to Emily from "State of Daniel" on YouTube:

"DISGUSTING: Woman Films Her Own Abortion, Puts it Online"


Very well put, Daniel.

Any women who may be struggling with the abortion/adoption choice, here is a link that may help you: Catholic Charities (Click on the link on that page to contact your local Catholic Charities agency. Even if you don't have a local agency, they may be able to direct you to help in your own community.)

A quote from the Catholic Charities website:
"We don’t preach or pressure. We’re simply here to help. And remember, you don’t have to be Catholic! Catholic Charities serves men and women from any background, religion, ethnicity, or income level."

If anyone else wishes to leave other links for women who may be looking for help with the abortion/adoption process, PLEASE, post your links in the comments below. Thank you.
