The Nevada Standoff Has Nothing To Do With "Tyranny," "Sovereignty," "Freedom," or Cows.

[The Straight Story]

62. Seems a bit creatively speculative

I got no love for anyone in the whole mess but am looking at this in a more open manner.

The guy posting about this is some blogger on the net with what, 320 posts? Ok fine, might not mean much (it sure does on du though....) but the basic premise appears to break down like this:

Koch brothers suck (they do), governor of state wants land returned to state management and away from federal management, alec/koch support same said idea. Some reporters at some subsidiary of a koch owned business supported the rancher. Therefore this is being orchestrated by a couple of kochs.

Now, most all of this can easily and readily ring true - but it doesn't impact the core story nor does it implicate the rancher as being part of some larger conspiracy.

Also, worth noting, there are plenty of people who don't need the involvement of alec/kochs when it comes to holding their belief that blm was in the wrong or that lands shouldn't be eminent domained by the feds.

Does all of what I said mean I support them, etc and so on on? No. What I am saying is irregardless of koch I see this situation happening just as it did and that the issues it brought up are ones people want to address - from grazing lands to the feds/states letting companies come in and frack land and pollute it (which I am sure many would be happy to protest and want to stop even though it is deemed legal to do so).

Do they benefit? Yea, same as every time someone buys things like toilet paper/etc where they own a big chunk of stock in.
