Outrage: Government Forces Homeowners To Leave Private Residences Amid ShutdownMac Slavo But there is no need to worry. Essential government operations are still very much actively working. The policing apparatus around the nation, especially on Federal lands, has been beefed up to ensure no one is violating the closures. Congress is still being paid by taxpayers, so they can continue to pass laws unabated. And, Michelle Obamas Lets Move web site remains operational, so we can eat healthy, and enjoy some song and dance while we do it. The examples of President Obamas hypocrisy are outrageous, and perhaps none more so than the experience of Joyce Spencer and sixty of her fellow neighbors who have homes on Lake Mead, which is a designated National Recreation Area. While President Obama and his family continue to experience the luxurious benefits of living off the American taxpayer on federally designated lands, the Spencers have been kicked out of their homes by force. The government shutdown is being felt close to home for some locals. They say theyre being forced out of private homes on Lake Mead because they sit on federal land. Joyce Spencer is 77-years-old and her husband Ralph is 80. Theyve been spending most of their time in the family ice cream store since going home isnt an option. I had to go to town today and buy Ralph undershirts and jeans because I forgot his pants, Joyce Spencer told Action News. The Stewarts Point home sits on federal land, so even though the Spencers own their cabin outright, theyre not allowed in until the government reopens. Park officials said property owners can visit only to retrieve belongings; they sent Action News a statement which reads in part, Unfortunately overnight stays are not permitted until a budget is passed and the park can reopen. [] The Spencers said its their property and they should be allowed in, shutdown or not. Via: Blacklisted News and End the Lie This isnt the only example of government shutting down the private sector. In South Carolina, access to a private Inn operating on Federal lands was restricted. On Friday, the owner, Bruce OConnell, decided to defy the government and reopen his dining room, gift shop and country store. That lasted about two hours. National Park Service rangers blocked the entrances to the Pisgah Inn on the Blue Ridge Parkway, effectively shutting down business at the height of tourism season. The inn was booked solid for October. The feds also tried to close another privately-funded tourist site George Washingtons Mt. Vernon estate. The National Park Service showed up on Tuesday and barricaded the parking lots. Source: The Daily Sheeple What this demonstrates is that government and those who use it to wield power will always put their needs first starting from the President and going all the way down the line. Should our country ever be faced with a serious fiscal calamity or economic emergency, the little people will be governments last priority. Sensibility, fairness and empathy will be tossed to the wind, and you will be left with no recourse or relief. The only example of how far the government is prepared to go is the aftermath of the Marathon bombing, when the entire Boston metropolitan area was essentially under a state of De Facto Martial Law: An angry Park Services Ranger summed it up last week when he shared his directiveswith the public. Weve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can, he said in disgust. They will stop at nothing to push forth their agenda, whatever it may be. Expect it. Prepare for it.
