(NaturalNews) If you haven't figured out by now that President Obama is doing all he can to sabotage and trip up President-elect Donald J. Trump before he takes office, then you're not paying attention. As time runs out on his presidency, he is doing everything he can to make Trump's first years in office as chaotic and treacherous as possible.

To wit, Obama just signed an executive order designating a massive amount of land in Nevada and Utah as the Golden Butte National Monument—a portion of which just happens to be near lands owned and operated by Cliven Bundy, who, along with supporters, engaged in an armed standoff with Bureau of Land Management personnel just a few years ago over long-claimed grazing rights for Bundy's cattle. And the grab does include land that the Bundy's have used to graze their cattle.

Is Obama exacting some payback, while at the same time attempting to provoke an armed incident which he would certainly use for his own political advantage while disrupting the incoming Trump administration? It sure looks that way.

As reported by Intellihub, the massive new land grab includes the very site of the Bundy Ranch standoff, in addition to land very close to the Bundy Ranch itself. "With this move Obama has possibly triggered another armed standoff while also heading off any moves set to be made by incoming President Donald Trump," the site reported.

Administration says environment, Native Americans prompted action but, as usual, that's not true

According to a fact sheet published by the White House, Obama's order designates "two new national monuments, protecting sacred sites, spectacular scenery, and important natural and cultural resources in the desert landscapes of southeastern Utah and southern Nevada. The creation of the Bears Ears National Monument in Utah and the Gold Butte National Monument in Nevada follow years of robust public input from tribes, local elected officials, and diverse stakeholders, and draws from legislation introduced in Congress."

The fact sheet also acknowledged that the radical Obama has also taken away more land from states and the people than any previous president, as if that's something to be proud of. Add to that the fact that the federal government already owned more than 85 percent of all lands in Nevada, while owning a sizeable portion of Utah's land as well.

Intellihub reported that at present, it's difficult to know actually how much land Obama just grabbed, under the phony guise of "environmental protection" and deference to "Native American tribes."
