Is living off the Grid now a crime?
Apparently living off the grid, off the land and without government assistance is now a crime that can land you in jail and cause you to lose your home.
Government officials across the country are forming so called “nuisance abatement teams” to intimidate people into giving up their land or conforming to the governments demands and hooking back into the grid. Counties across the country are actually jailing people for living the way they want to live.
I was alerted to this video by a reader and was troubled and sickened by what the poor people in the California Desert are being forced to deal with. From being threatened with jail time if they don’t hook back into the grid to being thrown in jail because the county didn’t like the look of their homes, the people in the deserts of Los Angeles County are being terrorized by their government.
Paddlefeet and I had a wind/solar hybrid energy system installed 5-6 years ago on our farm. I have a gas only stove. No dryer. Solar hot water and we heat with wood. We stay grid connected in case we need extra energy(an air conditioner is nice), so we pay a minimal monthly electric bill. We also have generator backup. We have been investigated by homeland security. I'm not sure why they see us as a threat. I simply want to be self sufficient. What's the threat in that?

There is no threat to a sane and benevolent government, but to one that is operating on a covert control paradigm anything which increases individual independence from state control is a threat. Because that allows you to be independent and not under control. The electric grid is part of the overall control scheme and on several levels.
1. As long as you are dependent on the grid the threat to shut off the power is viable threat to enforce compliance.
2. A person who is energy independent also has the potential, if they are not already, to be food independent. That is another control mechanism.
3. The electrical wiring in your household is a conduit that can be used for a variety of purposes, but by heterodyning mood control frequencies on the AC electrical signal they can literally insert control frequencies, that radiate outward from your wiring because of the emf field generated by the alternating current, which are transmitted into your household over the grid and into your home via the wiring. Now there are ways around it. By filtering your power you can strip off any signal piggy backed on the AC but that requires purchasing the equipment to do it. Another way is to convert to a DC system and running the AC through a rectifier which converts the AC to DC. Either way blocks the frequencies being heterodyned. Another way is to purchase sheathing that goes around the wires, and is then grounded, thus effectively blocking any electric fields.
The bottom line is that it all breaks down to c-o-n-t-r-o-l sssssitizen.
