Showdown Over Land Grab: Piute County Sheriff threatens arrest of Forest Service personnelFebruary 24, 2016
The disputes between the men who raise America’s meat supply and the federal government will not go away.
Meet Stanton Gleave and listen to his story in the embedded video below.
Longtime rancher Stanton Gleave is at the center of a conflict that includes the County Sheriff on one side and the U.S. Forest Service on the other.
Gleave wore his cowboy hat and held up a pocket edition of the U.S. Constitution as he spoke with the Rural Caucus of the Utah State legislature on Feb. 12.
“These federal people have no right to be here if you follow (the Constitution),” Gleave said.
The Piute County Sheriff, Marty Gleave, (We’re told Marty is Stanton’s nephew) also talked with the Rural Caucus.
“We’re not taking no more cuts on the Mountain. I’ll deputize every man, woman and child in the county to stop what’s going on,” Sheriff Gleave said, referring to Monroe Mountain, where the Forest Service has taken grazing permits from Stanton Gleave and another rancher, Keith Anderton.
The Forest Service is working to revitalize aspen growth on Monroe Mountain.
Seventy-four percent of the land in Piute County is controlled by the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service.
The government of the United States no longer serves it’s people, but demands our money in the form of taxes.
As the ranchers resist the land grabs, even city man Donald Trump has weighed in. He says we must obey the law, but that as president he will investigate. That sounds reasonable.
