http://wonkette.com/601019/bundy-buddies-added-dicks-to-indian-petroglyphs-not-a-dick-joke-wonkette-can-get-behind#WatvTXxJWp7hmd7O.99"As everyone knows, the Bunditarian Patriot Militia Jamborees of 2014 and 2016 were all about an important principle, namely, the return of federal land to We The People, because the feds are all about stealing The Peoples land and doing tyranny to it, like having wildlife refuges and National Monuments and other stuff what gets in the way of grazing cattle for free. As we found out after the High Plains Grifters were all cleared out of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, what The People really want to do with federal land is dig poop trenches into Native American archaeological sites, for Liberty.
Now that the John Brown of welfare ranching is a-moulderin in a jail cell awaiting trial, lets look in at whats happened to Gold Butte, the sensitive 350,000 acres of desert area near the Bundy ranch, since the unpleasantness of 2014. Sadly, the Bureau of Land Management, understandably leery of getting shot at, has pretty much stayed away from the area since the end of the standoff. That may be changing, as environmental groups and local Native Americans have been calling for increased federal protection of Gold Butte. Saturday, the day after Earth Day, members of the Moapa Band of Paiutes and other tribes staged a culture walk across 11 miles of Gold Butte to call attention to vandalism of cultural sites, illegal offroading, and ranchers letting cattle onto land where grazing isnt allowed. You know what the Bundyite crowd calls responsible local control of the land.
Since the Bundy standoff, ancient petroglyphs in the area have been defaced, as seen in the charming example above. When in doubt, shoot holes and draw dicks, for Freedom! Other petroglyph sites have been shot up by gunfire or chipped off and removed altogether. William Anderson, the former tribal chairman of the Moapa Band of Paiutes, said, I couldnt believe someone would do that It was surprising that people had no respect for our culture and our people. Anderson recently traveled to Washington DC to lobby for protection of Gold Butte, which is currently designated an Area of Critical Environmental Concern; many would prefer even stronger protection.
...
So how has Gold Butte fared since 2014, when the Bundys and their patriot pals freed the area from the tyranny of the BLM? In short, not so great, as an August 2015 report by the group Friends of Gold Butte documented. Besides the vandalism to the petroglyphs, theres also a lot of illegal offroading; people cut fences and tear up the desert just exactly the way Thomas Jefferson intended.
