Oath Keepers Vow to Stand by Bundy Ranch in Cattle Dispute with FedsMelissa Melton While Bundys family has grazed cattle on the land in question since the 1870s, the state decided to officially outlaw cattle grazing in the area in an Agenda 21-esque move back in 1998 under the guise of protecting the environment for the endangered desert tortoise. Now BLM says that, not only has Bundy refused to pay the federal government for grazing rights for the last 20 years, but they have officially declared that his cattle are now trespassing on what is supposed to be public land. As reported yesterday, apparently thats worth calling out a fully militarized federal force, including nine helicopters and a multitude of agents and even snipers, to descend on Bundys ranch to impound his cattle. This picture was posted on The Truth About Guns blog April 8th by author Robert Farago: In response to the mounting dispute and worries this could become the next Ruby Ridge or Waco, militias from all across the country, including Texas, Montana, Utah, New Hampshire, and Florida, have mobilised to stand with the Bundy family and others protesting the BLM. Now Oath Keepers, a non-partisan association of 40,000 current serving and former military, police, and first responders who have pledged to fulfill their oaths to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, has released a statement that they, too, will stand by the Bundys against the corrupt actions of this government. It reads in part: The statement also called out Nevada Governor Sandoval who has publicly criticized the BLM for intimidation and trampling upon Nevadans fundamental rights with so-called First Amendment areas but done little else for not showing up in person himself and ordering the Nevada Highway Patrol to stand between the people and an out of control BLM. Nevada State Assemblywoman Michele Fiore showed up yesterday to stand vigil, saying, we are here because the Governor is not. Oath Keepers is calling on anyone who can make it to Bunkersville, Nevada to peacefully stand with Cliven Bundy and his family and to stand up for the Constitution of the United States of America and the rights of the people against a corrupt government that would subvert us all: Read Oath Keepers full statement here. In other news, Natural News has just reported that the BLM is cashing is hardcore to the tune of millions on fracking operations in the very land from which they are trying to evict the Bundys.
