Regulation Nation: Where Independence Is Illegal Without A PermitBy Daisy Luther The government is aware of their own pending obsolescence and thats why theyre so desperate to regulate every darned thing. Oh and the money they make a ton of money from forcing you to purchase permission to live your life. Every time someone pops up and does something independently, the government says, Oh, no. All things must come from us, your benefactors. By mandating helplessness, the government seems to want to instill in us a belief that we cant get by without them. Why? Because theyre quickly becoming obsolete. People are weary of the countless laws, so numerous that we all break them every time we set foot outside our doors. The most innocuous things have come under fire as people struggle to survive and dare to do so independently: Give me a break. There is one thing at play here. Control. People all over the nation have proven that ordinary citizens can make a change in the plight of homeless people. On their own dimes, good people have fed those less fortunate, given them a safe place to camp, and most of all treated them with the dignity that all human beings deserve. Again, weve shown that people want to help people and that we dont require Papa Government to come in and look after everyone. Then, as often happens, along came the government, who said, How dare you provide for the needs of others without our help, regulations, and permission? Michael Snyder wrote a fantastic article outlining the governments war on homelessness. In his article, he related the following facts: And thats not all. According to Snyders research, the homeless have become a target all across the country. All across the U.S. laws have been passed that specifically target the homeless. According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, the following are some of the most typical ways that the homeless are targeted Im astounded by the type of mental gymnastics that makes any police officer think that its a fine and acceptable thing to go around and take away the meager possessions that these homeless people have left. But, you know, theyre just doing their jobs. If Karma strikes back at those job-doers it will be a beautiful thing. The folks you see on the street arent all just lazy bums and drunks who dont want to work, although its a lot easier to look at it that way. Villainizing people in a desperate situation is a way to put distance between us and them. However, according to StreetSteam.org, the real reasons that people become homeless are reasons that could happen to anyone. And as our economic crisis continues to worse and the cost of living continues to go up, well see more and more people joining the ranks of the homeless. It is illegal (or in the process of becoming illegal) to feed hungry people in 71 cities across the United States, according to this map from the National Coalition for the Homeless. We must get permission to feed ourselves or others, make a living without a typical job, and help our neighbors. We have to pay money to get a license to hunt or fish. We have to pay yearly extortion fees to drive our own cars. We cant sell eggs from our chickens without permission in some states, and to do so legally, must attend a course and pay a fee to get an egg handlers license. To barter, we have to conduct our business like a bunch of drug dealers. If I want to swap my home-raised chickens for someone elses home-raised lamb, heaven forbid that the government should find out. Theyd tax us, inspect us, fine us, and maybe even arrest us. In places where you arent allowed to have or carry a firearm, youre at the mercy of criminals and the wait time from calling 911. One must jump through a ridiculous number of hoops to get a concealed carry permit to be able to protect oneself instead of waiting helplessly for the cops to show up. If only I were making this up. If we dont need their handouts, their jobs, their food, and their social assistance, its a whole lot harder for them to force us to do things against our will. When you dont need anything the government has to offer, you have the type of freedom upon which our nation was founded. It was called the Declaration of Independence for a reason, but many Americans have lost that revolutionary spirit. They just stand by and accept unreasonable and unjust laws. They shrug and say that theres nothing they can do. And now, these unjust laws are preventing us from helping those who are struggling. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in his letter from aBirmingham, Alabama jail, wrote, One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. Personally, I have no intention whatsoever of following an unjust law. If I see that someone is hungry, Ill feed them. If theyre cold, Ill clothe them. I will grow my own food, drink from a well, and trade goods with my friends. If I can help another human being, Ill do it, and the government be damned.

It is this broken mindset weve been brainwashed into believing that everything the government does has authority that has done us all in. Fact is, we do NOT have to contract with them at all, nor ask their permission to do anything. Problem with implementing that truth is they dont tell their armed thugs, er, law enforcement officers that they not only like them to have lower than average IQs, but they also must be tested to see if they have a propensity to follow orders, even those whose ethics and lawfulness are questionable at best. I love that this topic is gaining ground here, and I applaud all of you for providing the venue for us to discuss it. Well done~ All I had to do was look at the headline to know youd be down here. lol Hi friend:) Great comment! A lot of police department have an IQ Cap, and generally its about 100; higher than that, they figure youre sharp enough to start questioning things. And that just will not do. Most intelligent people are terrible at acting dumb 100% of the time; they will slip up somewhere, sometime. The ones that are are sociopaths and psychopaths and yes, you will find some of those on police departments everywhere.

And trump will finish what obama started. Always be a light that is shininginthedark Dont worry, Chump is gonna fix everything!! The report form Iron Mountain most clearly is summed by a few words. Gooferment must strike fear and must perpetuate wars to remain meaningful. This, the consequence of the constitutional framers replacing Yahwehs immutable moral law and what is truly limited government for their own capricious Enlightenment traditions and what was to inevitably become government gargantuan. Its what the Prophet Hosea depicted as sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind: [B]ecause they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. (Hosea 8:1,7) Had Moses come down Mt. Sinai with todays glutted government regulations, he wouldnt have come down the Mountain with two tablets but with a hernia, a broken back, and an untold number of wagons pulled by both donkeys and elephants alike. A senate further enslaves the people to a gargantuan federal government, which must be paid for with tax dollars. Constitutionalists, Libertarians, and even Republicans are often heard discussing the idea that limited government was an objective of the framers. It is true that government was much more limited in the late 1700s than it is today. But do not believe for a minute that the Constitution provided us with limited government, even in the late 1700s. A government consisting of a president, vice president, House of Representatives, Senate, and judiciary can hardly be described as limited. When the framers threw away Americas Christian theocracy in exchange for the United States secular theocracy, they also cast aside limited government. With some rare exceptions, Yahwehs government consists of only one King and Legislator Yahweh and a judiciary to litigate His commandments and statutes and enforce His judgments. That is limited government. Yahwehs government has no need for a president and his cabinet, no need for the House of Representatives or the Senate and their glutted bureaucracy, no need for a prison complex, no need for a parasitical welfare system, no need for the Federal Reserve, no need for the Internal Revenue Service, and no need for a tax-subsidized standing army. Constitutionalists want to abolish nearly everything enumerated here, but they would have us return to the very document that permitted these excesses and robbed us of a truly limited government.
