I would not want the Bureau of Land Management to manage a damn thing. It is a little discussed Executive agency that the President often uses as a political bludgeon. Unless it provokes a huge armed stand-off not many people really notice.
Well notice this... from their million dollar desert tortoise facility that saw huge amounts of them eventually euthanized, in the end it was discovered that the habitat that the work and planning of Cliven Bundy is what attracted the Desert Tortoise to the land he properly managed. Instead Rocco sends his best button men to put pressure on the ranch for not paying their protection racket. But this time Rocco found out that the folks he tried putting down on had a small army of cowboys waiting for them with 2 words to relay. GO HOME!
I’m smelling another need for that here, the only problem is that the horses can’t give an interview or fire an AR-15. Boy if wishes only could come true.
RTR TRUTH MEDIA - It often never ceases to amaze me just how accurate Orwell’s non-fiction and fiction alike are both extremely real. His works were supposed to warn us what not to tolerate or accept and, well, so much for that.
My two favorite Quotes by George Orwell - "And when memory failed and written records were falsified—when that happened, the claim of the Party to have improved the conditions of human life had got to be accepted, because there did not exist, and never again could exist, any standard against which it could be tested." – George Orwell, 1984
“If all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth." – George Orwell,1984
————-
Eric Arthur Blair, better known by his pen name, George Orwell, was a brilliant English writer of the 20th century who transformed literature with his piercing social commentary and allegorical style. Considered classics, his novels Animal Farm and 1984 are read in classrooms around the world. His works have become so entrenched in popular and political culture that the term “Orwellian” is now commonly used to describe totalitarian and authoritarian societies.
Orwell also wrote numerous nonfiction books and essays documenting his own life experiences, which similarly express his gift for satire and controversial views on government. Throughout his writing career, he never feared tackling challenging topics and expressing his opinions, no matter how subversive. Read on for George Orwell’s best quotes about truth, reality, freedom, politics, power, and money.
Quotes About Truth & Reality
The concepts of truth and reality are major themes in many of Orwell’s novels—especially the chilling dystopian classic, 1984. As Orwell asserts, reality is what you make of it, but the truth isn’t always so clear.
1. “There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.” - George Orwell, 1984

4. "It's the one thing they can't do. They can make you say anything—anything—but they can't make you believe it. They can't get inside you." – George Orwell,1984
5. "And when memory failed and written records were falsified—when that happened, the claim of the Party to have improved the conditions of human life had got to be accepted, because there did not exist, and never again could exist, any standard against which it could be tested." – George Orwell, 1984
6. "If all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth." – George Orwell,1984

8. “The best books... are those that tell you what you know already.” – George Orwell,1984
Quotes About Freedom
Many of Orwell’s works center around freedom and oppression—whether political or personal—as he seeks to define what being free truly means and questions what kind of freedom is worth living or dying for.
9. “Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.” – George Orwell, 1984

13. “I sometimes think that the price of liberty is not so much eternal vigilance as eternal dirt.” – George Orwell, The Road to Wigan Pier
14. “To die hating them, that was freedom.” – George Orwell, 1984

Politics & Power Quotes
Political commentary is Orwell’s staple.

Quotes About Money
Orwell’s opinions on money tie into his political views—especially his opposition to powerful authoritarian governments. In his youth, he witnessed poverty firsthand, leading to a satirical attitude towards money and how it shapes society.
33. “It is curious how people take it for granted that they have a right to preach at you and pray over you as soon as your income falls below a certain level.” – George Orwell,Down and Out in Paris and London
34. “For after all, what is there behind it, except money? Money for the right kind of education, money for influential friends, money for leisure and peace of mind, money for trips to Italy.

35. “Poverty frees them from ordinary standards of behaviour, just as money frees people from work.” – George Orwell,Down and Out in Paris and London
36. “You can possess money, or you can despise money; the one fatal thing is to worship money and fail to get it.” – George Orwell,Keep the Aspidistra Flying

Arms = tools of defense Firearms = a word created by politicians to be defined as a commodity in interstate commerce that the commerce clause grants authority to Congress to regulate.
In other words, they created a “new term” and ascribed to it a definition using Constitutional authority to undermine the restriction placed upon government by the Constitution’s Bill Of Rights itself. If properly asserted Marbury v. Madison would nullify this term entirely. But considering it is also 14th Amendment jurisdiction that supports the authority and jurisdiction, and considering the Republic was overthrown after the Civil War by section 4 especially of the 14th (also should be seen as stricken) these politicians and their forked tongues have legislated us into tyranny.
"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action."
While the above quote is attributed to George Washington, that has not been proven as fact, although it has been rumored Washington uttered many things that were not memorialized in his official documents and speeches.
But here are some quotes that are checked.
Patrick Henry
“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.”
George Mason
“To disarm the people…[i]s the most effectual way to enslave them.”
James Madison
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country.”
“The ultimate authority, wherever the derivative may be found, resides in the people alone.”
Noah Webster
“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.”
Samuel Adams
“The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.”
Richard Henry Lee
“A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… “To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.”
Thomas Jefferson
“I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.”
“What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms.”
“The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
“The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.”
I just never seem to realize that the level of insanity or my perception of insanity is more common than the exception. Masks that do little but to suppress a bit of fear instilled in the minds of the masses by main stream media ... oh for God’s sake.
This was sent to me yesterday. We have reached out to this rancher for an interview. This is so alarming - and you know we don’t do fear porn here - so for me to post this you know I consider it to be a major threat to all of us if this proves to be as it seems... truth.
This link was disabled by censorship I have it working again and underneath this video there will be a Bitchute link that should work.
In the most stunning example of ignorance Representative Shiela Jackson Lee spoke, when she likely should have hidden in her office. This idiot actually is a legislator. Let that sink in when you decide to be a part of the cult of government.
It would seem that a lot of people in America have collectively lost their minds. This school is a government run institution. When government violates the rights of an individual harsh consequences should follow. Schools allowed to violate the Supreme Law of the Land and allowed to get away with it show exactly how they are being used as social change agent facilitators.
Justine [Myers] woke up to a voicemail from Thompson Valley School District where Nate is a junior at Loveland High School in Loveland, CO. The voicemail informed Justine that a report had come in claiming Nate was a threat to the school and he was not allowed to return until further notice. The report presumably came through Safe 2 Tell.
There are reports that a school wide email was also sent to parents about the “threat”. Justine immediately contacted the school assuming she could easily clear things up, especially since the police had already assessed the situation and realized no one had done anything wrong or made any threats. She was wrong.
The school not only refused to provide her with more information about the “threat”, but they refused to provide Nate with schoolwork so he doesn’t get behind. A “threat assessment hearing” has been scheduled for Thursday morning at 10am at the school admin building where Justine will be allowed to defend her son against SEVEN school officials who will be in attendance to, as she was told, “make their case”.
Make their case of what? That Nate’s outing with his mother to train with her firearms somehow makes him a danger to the school?
TSD Superintendent Marc Schaffer notified the parents of Nathan Myers that he could not return to school until the district completed a full investigation after Nathan posted a Snapchat video on Tuesday of several handguns and an AR-15 belonging to his mother.
The guns were being packed for a family shooting trip to the mountains, the boy’s mother, Justine Myers, said. Nathan posted the video with the caption “Finna be lit,” which is slang for “gonna be exciting.”
Someone called the anonymous line “Safe2Tell,” and reported they feared Nathan was threatening the school. “Safe2Tell” is designed for youth to be able to give tips to their school and police about threatening situations. However, Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams said the line has been dubbed “Safe2Swat,” by kids who use the line for both practical jokes and to get even with other students they may have a conflict with.
Swatting is a term that is used when someone deceptively sends police and other emergency services to another person’s address through false reporting of an emergency or criminal action.
Nathan’s father had left several messages for Justine about police officers at his home questioning Nathan’s intentions while they were out of cell phone coverage.
“His father told them (Tuesday evening that) he was out shooting with me. I am an avid shooter,” Justine said. “So, the officers said he wasn’t in trouble and left.”
Despite being glad the situation is resolved, Justine said she is still frustrated at how it was handled. She said it felt like they were downplaying the severity of the situation, including failing to allow the boy access to his homework. The school district told Justine they did not get clearance from the police until sometime Wednesday,
“You expect me to believe they had a threat on a school and the school waited more than 15 hours to contact the police to find out if it was credible,” Justine said.
Nathan and his parents met with school district officials for what she said amounted to 5 minutes before they gave Nathan permission to return to class and promised him there would be no consequences surrounding the issue.
“We walked in, they gave him a big envelope with his homework in it and immediately apologized,” Justine said. “They told him he was a good kid, they liked him, and they never believed he was making a threat against the school, but that ‘you know we have to do this.’ ”
