Breaking on Drudge, after wide coverage by Drudge and Infowars:
LIVE: Clark Co. Sheriff Announces BLM ‘Will Cease Operation,’ Open Land to Public Infowars.com April 12, 2014
On Saturday, Clark County Sheriff Douglas C. Gillespie announced that the Bureau of Land Management would cease their persecution of cattle rancher Cliven Bundy. He also stated that Bundy’s cattle would be allowed to graze on the land.
In an emotional response, Bundy presented the Sheriff with an ultimatum, stating he had one hour to disarm the federal agency, to bring the arms to the protest site to be destroyed, and to remove their barricades.
ZitatThe federal government backed down and ended their siege against Nevada cattle rancher Cliven Bundy less than 24 hours after an Infowars exposé connecting the land grab to Harry Reid and a Chinese-backed solar farm went viral, becoming the biggest news story on the Internet.]
This proves a hypothesis that I have had about these armed govt' thugs. When push comes to shove, they are going to fold. You can arm govt' dopes like these BLA people all you want, but are they actually going to shoot unarmed civilians over stuff like a Harry Ried land deal? That is why we need to stand up to these thugs at every event like this.

I have no doubt that they would have shot unarmed civilians, woman and children if they thought they would get away with it. Look at Waco and Ruby Ridge. Bundy would have been labeled a domestic terrorist, an anti government tin foil hatter who just didn't want to pay his 'fair share of taxes', a rabble rouser inciting domestic militias.
The government thugs were unable to get away with it because of people who fed infowars and drudge information, infowars that had people on the ground and researchers connecting the dots with Reid and the Chinese solar company, bloggers who took screen prints from google cache the BLM web site pages that went down the memory hole, and the willingness of both Alex Jones and Matt Drudge to publicize what was going on. It was a perfect storm against the government thugs.
The MSM pretty much ignored the story, but with Drudge's built in audience, the story of Reid's connection went viral. Without Drudge the excellent reporting and research at infowars would not have been read those who paint Alex Jones as someone who needs his tin foil hat adjusted.
I foresee lots more attempts to rein in the rascally internet in the name of public safety.
Feds Back Down In New Bundy Standoff, Agree to Release Cattle Epic confrontation “like something out of a movie”
ZitatIn an epic standoff that Infowars reporter David Knight described as being like “something out of a movie,” supporters of Nevada cattle rancher Cliven Bundy advanced on a position held by BLM agents despite threats that they would be shot at, eventually forcing BLM feds to release 100 cattle that had been stolen from Bundy as part of a land grab dispute that threatened to escalate into a Waco-style confrontation.
Despite the fact that Bureau of Land Management officials agreed to cease their operation to seize Bundy’s cattle after a massive public backlash, Bundy demanded that Sheriff Douglas Gillespie disarm BLM officials and return his stolen cows.
When this didn’t happen, hundreds of Bundy supporters, including cowboys on horseback, descended on a nearby cattle pen outside of Mesquite where the seized cows were being held.
In a tense standoff, armed BLM feds, backed up by at least one SWAT team, threatened to shoot at Bundy supporters if they marched any closer to a line of vehicles.
Despite threats such as “one more step and you’re dead,” the protesters continued their slow march towards BLM agents as bullhorns blared.
.............................................
Refusing to back down, the protesters marched straight past the armed men and towards the cattle pen.
Sheriff Gillespie eventually appeared to inform Bundy supporters that the BLM had finally caved and agreed to release the 100 cattle they had seized that were inside the pen.

I think the next move will be to destroy him through the courts.

Wait until after the election. Obama & Co can't afford another major scandal just now but come late November... I do not see the forces of repression allowing this to stand.

Nope ... that would embolden more uppity American citizens.
The Bundy family and his supporters need to have some good accountant s, lawyers, and security on call. A special division of the IRS is probably being set up right now to use 'inappropriate criteria' against home grown right wing extremist terrorists. The SPLC, EPA, BLM, and other fourth branches of government will be called upon for their 'expert' testimony.
It was heartening to see a battle won, but statists are a persistent lot, sort of like a toxic fungus.
