The BLM canceled his permit.
CLark county brought it

The have restricted the land from grazing so that they can develop other habitat closer to Las Vegas.

Bundy will NEVER get his permit back.

There’s a reason his “supporters” aren’t other ranchers in a similar position, and instead are coming from out of state.

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

That frightens me. When the system is challenged, and the establishment says “meh,” you get the 60s, basically. It’s not like the people who were actually doing 60s-type things in the 60s weren’t also doing them (or wanting to do them) in the 50s, the 40s, and the 30s – but it came out in the open and went mainstream because those guys stopped getting pushback. They said the system was illegitimate and, eventually, the establishment (while not quite agreeing) said “OK – we no longer have a mandate. Y’all figure it out.” Unfortunately, nobody had a ready-to-go, coherent, new system, and the result was no enforcement.

I’m seeing flashes of 1967. Hope the people pushing against the system these days have a coherent, new one that we can all tolerate…

Then find an unjust cause. The Bundy case isn’t unjust – the man is unhinged.

Many of the pretexts that we rebelled against England were just that, pretexts. But they focused the rage of the Patriots, and that is what was necessary to achieve The End. If we had a Sam Adams and a Patrick Henry or two, agitating, things could come to a head, quickly.

There are two kinds of government land, one to protect endangered species, which the BLM calls Bundy’s land. However the original finding from 20 years ago is clearly no longer valid, as the desert turtle is thriving. The BLM should reclassify this land (in a sane world).
