Make the Government Prove the debt. Bundy should have the right to appeal the finding, and go from there. At this point the government is hiding it’s real intent about the endangered species act, and the EPA involvement, it may well be a government test run at controlling property rights, starting with the BLM agreements… and for the Agenda 21 power.. the only power we have is through states taking back ownership of their own property, and the Fed’s not having control through any agency, of any property; That is providing the state and county and city has not signed on the U.N. Agenda 21 (which is not a binding treaty yet).. but if they have signed on then they could be reluctant to block a land control (leading to individual property rights). just thinking, and at this time not top priority on my research. It is a worthy investigation to pursue though.

The rancher spoke with the Washington Times about the extreme arsenal the federal government rained down on him and his cattle.

“They’re carrying the same things a soldier would,” he said. “Automatic weapons, sniper rifles, top communication, top surveillance equipment, lots of vehicles. It’s heavy soldier type equipment.”

His wife, Carol Bundy, said that roughly 200 armed agents from the BLM and FBI are stationed around their land, located about 75 miles outside of Las Vegas. Helicopters circle the premises, and the airspace and nearby roads remain blocked.

“We’re surrounded,” Carol Bundy said. “We’re estimating that there are over 200 armed BLM, FBI. We’ve got surveillance cameras at our house, they’re probably listening to me talk to you right now.”

A National Park Service spokesman denied there were armed guards rounding up the cattle in a conference call on Tuesday. However, she confirmed that there was “security” in place, citing threats to the contractors who are removing the cattle.

“Contractors are here and they are in place to round-up the cattle and to bring them to the impound area,” Christie Vanover said. “As for security, there [is]security in place, but that is merely to protect the contractors.”

According to the Washington Times, by Monday this week the BLM had seized over 200 of Bundy’s nearly 1,000 cattle. Not taking into account the court fees over the decades-long battle to force the rancher to pay up, the operation to remove them will cost the government approximately three million dollars. The BLM claims Bundy owes one million dollars in back fees.

Bundy the rancher says that his local and state governments have been powerless to stop the assault by federal authorities. Worse yet, the BLM has set up a dreaded “First Amendment Zone” near the site of the disputed land, where Bundy and his friends and neighbors are confined to demonstrate against the seizing of cattle, the militarized SWAT response, and the expansive surveillance against Bundy and his family, which includes helicopters.

This afternoon eight helicopters surrounded the family after they began taking pictures, according to Bundy’s daughter, Bailey. Their son, Dave Bundy, was arrested for taking pictures on state road 170, which has been closed, and is being held by BLM.
