Nevada Governor and BLM Sign Agreement to Release Federal Lands for DEVELOPMENT

There's a powerful cry of anguish and a call to action here about the massive theft of public lands that are underway.

Nevada Governor and BLM Sign Agreement to Release Federal Lands for Development
They’re literally calling it a “disposal of public lands” as if shared wilderness, sacred ground, and national inheritance are garbage to be cleared and sold.

Snip…

The Great Nevada Land Raid Is Underway

So, the governor stood at a podium without blinking and in full cahoots with the very folks who are supposed to stand in his way stated his intent plainly:

“I’m pleased to announce the State’s joint agreement with the Bureau of Land Management, Nevada today. This agreement will improve our ability to share critical data about public lands in Nevada and help inform future housing and economic development in our communities.”

Data means maps. Maps mean parcels. Parcels mean profit.


The "Call to Action: Copy This Letter and Send It to Congress" at the end of the article makes it easy to take action.

to developers. Our Dem governor will probably try to limit it as much as he can.

state assets were sold off to oiligarchs for pennies on the dollar. We should expect the same with US assets.

He unwittingly made the deal with Black Lives Matter and not the Bureau of Land Management.
