UraniumGate involved?
It is more than a 20+ year old dispute over land ownership and use in Clark County, Nevada between the federal government and Cliven Bundy, his family , and other ranchers and supporters that has caused the current situation.
On the one side, the Secretary of United States Department of Interior authorized the Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to oversee use of lands claimed by the United States.
On the other side, Cliven Bundy, his family, and supporters claim that the land belongs to them, and they do not accept or honor the federal government's claim to the lands.
Who is right? Let's look at the history of these disputed lands.
HISTORY:
There is no dispute that the Indians populated the area now known as Nevada, since time immemorial. On this point everyone agrees. Some of the tribes that have continuously inhabited the area for millennia before Europeans are the Paiute, Shoshone, Walapai, and Washoe. These peoples, who originated in the eastern United States, are an extended part of the Algonquin tribes of the Powhatan Confederacy, that was seated in Virginia and expanded south and west. Descendants of these tribes live in Nevada and surrounding area today.
TIMELINE SUMMARY:
There are currently no official records available about Nevada pre-history before these tribes expanded there. The first recorded encounters with Europeans occurred with the Spanish Empire explorers in the 1520s. Those explorers declared the area New Spain in 1535, on behalf of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles I and V.
The Spanish Empire at that time was the first to be described as "the empire on which the sun never sets".

2016
Cliven Bundy arrested in Portland, OR airport.
Senator Harry Reid (D - NV) urged President Obama to designate Gold Butte as a National Conservation Area, while Cliven Bundy and some supporters were incarcerated for a separate, similar incident in Oregon
President Obama, at the end of his term, (under U. S. Antiquities Act of 1906) signed Executive Order which established Gold Butte a National Monument Area in Clark County (no livestock grazing and no industrial development)
Gold Butte National Monument connects Lake Meade National Recreation Area (SE Nevada) with Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument (NW Arizona); creating the largest swath of conserved land in Nevada
Groups that supported this Executive Order were: State of Nevada, Clark County, and Las Vegas Paiute Tribe
Cliven Bundy, family, and supporters publicly expressed anger about this Executive Order, at public hearing at Mesquite City Hall (same city where alleged Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock resided)
2017
President Trump signed Executive order to review the Antiquities Act of 1906
U. S. Secretary of U. S. Department of Interior penned recommendation for the reduction of the Gold Butte National Monument; President Trump has not acted on this recommendation, but did sign Executive Orders that reduced other National Monuments.
CONCLUSION:
These lands still belong to the indigenous peoples.
The United States Department of Interior is a self-appointed trustee to these lands until such time as the heirs or descendants of the original owners make claims.
State of Nevada Constitution is not valid due to insufficient population at time of original signing.
The United States, via Department of Interior, makes claims to lands that have previous owners; therefore, is required to disburse livestock grazing fees as payment to the original owners, their heirs and descendants.
The United States Department of Interior, via Bureau of Land Management (BLM) bought back all livestock grazing leases and sold them to Clark County, where Las Vegas is the county seat; in order to remove the ranchers and either preserve or use the SILVER, GOLD, AND COPPER mines as it sees fit.
Clark County now owns ALL the livestock grazing leases within the county; is the only entity that can contract with BLM for this purpose; therefore, takes on the responsibility of disbursing collected fees to the original owners, their heirs and descendants.
Las Vegas is the location of the Federal trials against Cliven Bundy and other Defendants; originally scheduled to begin on 10/10/2017; was postponed due to the shootings; and may result in mistrial for lack of unbiased jury pool . Or, it may be dismissed as moot, due to lack of contractual obligations.
President Trump is to accept the recommendation of Secretary of Interior with regard to reduction of Gold Butte National Monument, and allow for the livestock grazing of Cliven Bundy and the other ranchers in Bunkerville.
Cliven Bundy and each Defendant are to be restored and allowed to have permanent use of the Bunkerville Allotment, free and clear, without a livestock grazing lease; until such time as the original owners, or their heirs or descendants make claims to it. All past grazing fees owed by Cliven Bundy are waived, and he and each Defendant is to be reimbursed for all attorney fees and other costs.
The United States government is holding these lands as National Monuments, because of the SILVER, GOLD, AND COPPER; and is expanding claims by designating more and more lands and waters as National Monuments and National Conservation Areas; therefore, is obligated to collect and disburse collected fees to the original owners, their heirs and descendants.
The United States shall not enter into any agreement with any foreign powers, interests, or individuals regarding use or ownership of these said lands.
Indian tribes authorized by and under jurisdiction of United States government are not-for-profit organizations, and are therefore, NOT eligible to make claims. Only private individuals are eligible to, and shall make claims.

Great information! I have been looking into the Bundy ranch myself and now I know it's always been because of the Uranium. Terrible thing that happened to him, we will have justice. 100% Vote
Absolutely. It seems that foreign interests, in pursuit of mineral rights in Nevada, and Clark County in particular, are using the U. S. government to make an example out of him. But, they did not expect him to get as much support as he did. There is a lot more at stake in his trial than just him, his sons, and the other defendants. It is a precedent setting and history making case that will have impact on how the BLM and other government agencies treat other people, as well.
The more light that is brought to bear in this case, the better chance they all stand of being found not guilty, or not getting a prison sentence; as it is a classic example of government over-reach. If either of these outcomes happen, then, other people who take a stand for what is right will have this example of case law to use in their favor.
What has Paddock got to do with Bundy?
For more understanding, you may want to review past posts I've made here on STEEMIT on this subject.
I'll try my best to explain as concisely as possible, so please follow closely. A short history of events:
The goal of the BLM was to remove all ranchers from the area. In support of this goal, President Obama signed an executive order naming Gold Butte National Monument, an area that includes the Bunkerville Allotment, where the stand-off took place; to prevent any of the ranchers from returning. Keep in mind that Clark County now owns ALL of the grazing rights in Clark County, including the areas that the ranchers used to have.
The public hearings about this impending Executive Order took place in Mesquite, NV, where Paddock lived; and where the Bundy's attended. These public hearings were major events in themselves, with LOTS of hostilities from Bundy family and supporters. And, the Bundy ranch is only 5 miles from Paddock's house. Coincidence? Or, was Paddock there in Mesquite to monitor the situation, in preparation for timing of the shootings, knowing that Bundy supporters would no doubt be in Las Vegas for the trials?
Paddock, who is accused as the sole gunman in the shootings, supposedly did the shootings days prior to the start of the Bundy trials. It is said that he conducted the shootings from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel. NOT TRUE! The currently arrested Saudi Prince Waleed owns the floors from 32 up, and it is called Four Seasons Hotel. So, technically, the shootings were done from property owned by this Saudi Prince. How did Paddock get the privilege of using such a room?
Saudi Arabia is heavily involved in Artificial Intelligence, as evidenced by SOPHIA, the human-like robot. Uranium is the primary element required for A. I.. Therefore, they have tremendous interest in controlling the Uranium mines in Clark County, viz a viz the Federal government. Understand?
The Bundy defendants had to request postponement of the trials because of what Paddock allegedly did. The Bundys may not have known or knew of Paddock before the shootings. But, it is highly likely Paddock knew of and about the Bundys. Had the trials not been postponed, it is conceivable that the jury would have been biased against the Bundys and other defendants as gun-toting criminals, threats to society, like Paddock. Under the circumstances, a guilty verdict on all charges would have been very likely for each defendant. Surely, the timing for such an outcome was too perfect.
The Las Vegas shootings and the Bundy cases are events that have the impact of de-stabilizing the Clark County officials, seated in Las Vegas; as well as de-populating Las Vegas and Clark County of both residents and visitors.
If successful, such a goal would give Saudi Arabia an open door to take control of Uranium and other precious minerals in Clark County. Saudi Arabia is in the process of diversifying from oil as the only source of income, due to the consistently low prices having caused a deficit there for the first time. It seems they want to "diversify" into URANUIM. Re-check the numbers I quoted at the beginning of this article. These numbers tell the story of an already major stake of BLM in this area.
By traumatizing the local population with the Bundy case, and overwhelming them with the shootings, demonstrates a BIG picture type of attack known as geospatial engineering warfare. So, while on the surface these two separate situations do not seem related, when you get the facts of the BIG picture, they are two pieces of a much larger plan.
After all is said and done: The end goal? Taking the land for Saudi Arabia's use. Although all the ranchers have been removed from the area, Bundy put a cog in the wheel of de-population by taking a stand and attracting a lot of attention to his cause. Then, Paddock was part of the shootings that attracted lots of attention, yet have the same de-population objective. Therefore, someone caused the Federal government to pursue removal of the ranchers, and orchestrated the shootings for the same reason -- de-population of the area to have a clear path to those minerals.
With enough light on these events, the perpetrators will not succeed. This article is a developing news story.
What has Paddock got to do with Bundy?
