Most of the drummers demanding we get a better program of earth care practices are located in the good Ole USA.Recycle and restore, the drummers chant.Live with organic and healthy food they chant.We know whats best for you.Listen to our chants,follow along in lockstep.We are the experts on how you should live healthy.
The chanters say to Eat fresh and wholesome garden veggies.Live without chemicals and use the recycling practices that are available to you.Live with solar and wind energy and purified water from natural sources.Recycle and use compost for better healthier food.Fresh air for your families
This mantra just goes on and on.YADDA,YADDA,YADDA!The following is going to just blow you away to hear.Much this I do agree with in some proportion of good reasoning.But I am reading articles from all over the country I live in that has me a little more than confused..Let me look at my reality checklist:I live in the land of the free and brave someplace known for genius and innovation.
Somewhere that has published articles years back on how to to be independent etc.
A Florida women has been told that she violates the law by living off the grid.She has been sited
on zoning laws and currently is fighting to save her home from the same people who are the chanters.
She has lived healthy for years till she started telling folks how to be self sufficient.Now she fights for her way of life.Place a popular label on her and it would change the whole story.But self sufficient folks have been label as kooks and weirdos that want to live as primitives in a cave.
Now The great state on Texas,where I have(scratch that)Had plans to move to,has sent a swat team into
a settlement near San Antonio to arrest the occupants,Men women and infant children.The warrant presented stated that it was a drug search.No drugs were found.Armed invasion by the law.All the inhabitants were cuffed and abused verbally as though they were hardened criminals.
It turns out their crime was a severe one indeed.They had supposedly violated a number of zoning laws.The punch line is this...The folks had been there for years,owned their land and were not criminals.A warrant for a very old violation was the reason they invaded the place.The zoning people had got wind that these folks were just trying to teach people on the Internet to be self sufficient.To live off the grid and do the very thing the chanters always drone on about.They were also searched for fire arms of which there was none.
I have a particular interest in this type of story for a very real reason.For quite some time,I have been
talking to people interested in building a community using Tesla's principals of free energy and living off the grid.Not as hermits or any other stereotype isolationists. I remember the issues of a Magazine called Mother Earth magazine.It was much more in the 1960's and 1970's.I saved those issues for the "hippie"culture ideas.Home canned food as my folks did every year.I can almost taste moms bread and butter pickles.How and what to run a wood burning stove.Now outlawed in many places.
The articles were geared to the do it your selfers.Build a tilting pedal powered trike,Plant a full garden in a 1/4 acre.Plan your tiny homestead for free food.Oh yeah,I remember such priceless information.Tons of other great books on the subject of taking care of yourself and maintaining a healthy INDEPENDENT LIFESTYLE.Uncontrolled by any bureaucracy.It was not need then or now.
A lifestyle that harms no one....
Apparently living untethered from the money sucking,organizations and eating homegrown,home canned healthy food.Without additive,excess sugars,excess salt,excess fats or unpronounceable crap that should in itself be against the laws.For If nothing else than endangering the health and welfare of humans.Snake oil ingredients of the 21rst century.
So where are we to turn now that we can buy all the things to make our lives independent.The catch is that we must by mandatory rule be hooked up to a power line and a waterline even if we have no use for it.We must have a new computerized electric meter on our house or it will be placed there while you cool off in jail.(Chicago Area last year).Even if you do not need the meter.The meter monitors every use of your house.What you watch on cable,how long and also is easily tied into any other electronics in house.Fridg,Radio,Bedroom Computer camera.....
Raw milk in many places is now outlawed.Didn't kill our ancestors,but that to could be bartered or bought w/o monitoring.Meat products raised on home farms for meat and that egg omelet is being outlawed in many places.Again it cant be monitored.My grandfather supplied my dads family with his hens eggs every week.I don't remember anyone dropping dead from a breakfast omelet
and an occasional glass of whole milk.
I guess that we "common?" folks just want a simplified lifestyle will in time all be considered outlaws.The jails are already opening the doors to past and convicted criminals.Those same chanters are even going to educate the ones left inside.I can only guess it will be prisons filled with those people who actually tried to live according to the mantra chants telling everyone one thing and then sending the swat teams dressed like storm troopers out of some b rated scy fy movie afterwards.Will the Amish be sent to jail?They don't have such gizmos installed.The world is not what we had in the past.The food and lifestyles of our parents allowed them to live free.My great grandfather lived into his 90'sGrampa into his late 80's and dad was 94.Their diets would make them all outlaws now.
All had the products that are being scutinized by people not even a twinkle in their grandparents eyes In grandpas time.Who are they to say that WE THE PEOPLE can not live as those long lived folks did.
Truly the chanters are far more advanced in their knowledge of the lifestyles by folks that probably would outlive them all.Time will prove that theory.
Google it folks if you love the organic things etc as these folks are trying to live with.One day soon you will also be monitored if you don't speak up and say it is wrong to be so controlled......Or you can just sit there thinking you have no reason to have the Swap team and black helicopters approaching your home and family.....The experience will no doubt be.....Enlightening.
Take care dear readers and guard well your freedoms while you still can.It is precious indeed.
