All Over America Government Agents of Tyranny Are Forcing Preppers Back On To The GridMichael Snyder, Contributor The government agents left her with nothing. They ripped her garden to shreds. She was relying on that garden for her food and her medicine. Because she is unemployed, she doesnt have any money to go to the store and buy all those things. Now she is absolutely destitute. Oh, but at least the government agents can report that everything is now up to code. What is happening to this country? In the state of California, armed nuisance abatement teams are intimidating property owners into getting connected back into the grid, and in some instances they are forcing homeowners off their land entirely. When I first watched the videos posted below I got quite angry. This first video is about government control freaks driving people off their land in the California desert. This second video is also about what is going on with off the grid properties in California. After watching those videos, it is easy to understand why millions of people have been leaving the state. Those who are running things do not want us to be independent. Rather, they want us completely and totally dependent on the nanny state from the cradle to the grave. They want us as connected to the system as possible so that they can watch us, monitor us and control us. Sadly, most Americans do not even realize that the United States is slowly but surely being transformed into a giant prison control grid. This is happening in thousands of different ways. For example, eventually all of us will not be able to go anywhere without our faces being recognized and recorded. Yes, just like the movie Minority Report. In fact, facial recognition advertising billboards are already being used in Japan. Facial recognition is even being used on the Internet. Facebook recently purchased a facial recognition startup company called Face.com. This startup company has technology that can positively identify you in any photo and can even guess your age. The following is from an official statement on the Face.com website. The truth is that nothing any of us do on the Internet will ever be private again. That ship has already sailed. We still have a lot of freedom to say what we want on the Internet, but that window is rapidly closing as well. Internet censorship in the United States is growing at a very fast pace, and it is only a matter of time before entire websites start getting shut down for political reasons. The following is from a recent CNN article about the explosive growth of Internet censorship. If they dont like what we do on the Internet, they will just come in and wipe it out. If they dont like what we do on our land, they will just come in and chop it down or forcibly remove it. We do not live in the land of the free anymore. Amerika is becoming a prison state. And every single year the prison grid gets tighter and more oppressive in thousands of different ways. If you are doing something out of the box on your own property right now, you might want to keep it very quiet. If the wrong person finds out, an armed nuisance abatement team might just show up at your door one morning and hit you with several dozen code violations. I dont know what country we are living in, but it sure isnt America. This article first appeared here at the American Dream.
