Late Friday evening the FAA declared a “No Fly Zone” over a portion of Bunkerville, Nevada. The zone includes the property around Clive Bundy’s Nevada ranch where hundreds of protestors are now rallying to support the Bundy’s in their fight against the BLM. The No Fly Zone is effective until May 11, will cover a three-mile radius and restricts flight below 3,000 feet.
As you have probably already guessed, according to the FAA, only BLM-controlled aircraft are permitted to fly within the restricted area. Many believe that the feds are attempting to block aircraft or even personal drones with cameras that would be able to record what is happening to these cattle.
Family members believe that the Bundy’s cattle are being killed and buried with backhoes in the Nevada desert. During their attempt to get answers a violent altercation occurred where several family members were attacked by agents.
Meanwhile, hundreds continue to head to the Nevada ranch of Clive Bundy as the BLM and National Park Service continue to round up hundreds of Clive’s cattle. As we reported, Bundy and the BLM have been at odds over the grazing of Bundy’s cattle for two decades. Last week, it came to a head when around 200 federal agents and contract cowboys began rounding up Bundy’s cattle.
Among those headed to the area this weekend, Benswann.com has exclusively learned, members of the Republican Liberty Caucus of Idaho. Militia groups are also arriving on scene. Jim Lordy with Operation Mutual Aid, told a local broadcast station, “They have guns. We need guns to protect ourselves from the tyrannical government.”
Occupy the BLM is organizing this weekend and attempting to bring protesters to the ranch. And as we have told you, Constitutional Sheriff Richard Mack, Oathkeepers founder Stewart Rhodes, as well as oathkeeper members from across the southwest are on their way as well.
