Sheriff: Feds Strategize for ‘Raid’ on Ranch – Warning Follows Threat from Harry Reid That Grazing Dispute ‘Not Over’
WND Exclusive
The executive director of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association says his sources inside the federal government warn that Washington’s weekend retreat in a dispute over grazing land in Nevada was only a move to distract attention and diffuse tensions, because a raid on the family’s ranch still is planned.
And there probably would be violence involved, said Richard Mack, the former sheriff of Graham County, Ariz.
“I don’t think it would be possible” to launch a raid without violence, he told WND Monday. “I don’t think the Bundys would lie down and be taken.”
He cited the vow by Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., that the confrontation was far from over, despite the weekend’s retreat by armed gunmen working for federal agencies.
Reid on Monday told KRNV-TV in Reno: “It’s not over. We can’t have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it’s not over.”
The grazing-land conflict has been developing for decades.
Cliven Bundy, who ranches in Clark County, and members of his extended family have grazed cattle on land there for more than a century. He stopped paying federal grazing fees years ago, contending his operation existed before the federal government was there.
But the standoff reached a boiling point one week ago as hundreds of federal agents and allies surrounded Bundy’s ranch and were faced with citizen resistance, both armed and unarmed.

“We can’t have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it.” I hope he remembers that statement when he’s charged with corruption.
Storm Clouds Gathering has done some deeper research and found a cached page that was earlier removed from the BLM website that identifies Cliven Bundy by name. The video is excellent and the page in question is on their website. This proves it was never about tortoises, cattle or payments.
