All Over America, Government Officials Are Cracking Down On Preppers There are approximately 3 million preppers in the United States today, and often they appear to be singled out for punishment by bureaucratic control freaks that are horrified at the thought that there are families out there that actually want to try to become less dependent on the system. The EPA has recently banned the production and sale of 80 percent of America’s current wood-burning stoves, ... Older stoves that don’t cannot be traded in for updated types, but instead must be rendered inoperable, destroyed, or recycled as scrap metal. There are other preppers that try to use very “clean” methods to power their homes, but that is still not good enough for some government control freaks. For example, one prepper down in south Florida that had gone “off the grid” was recently ordered by a court to connect back to the grid or face eviction from his home. Robin Speronis has lived off the grid, independent of the city’s water and electric system. A Florida court ruled this off-the-grid living illegal ... Further, officials in the city of Cape Coral have justified this by deeming Robin’s home “unsanitary,” citing the International Property Maintenance Code. First of all, since when did we begin to locally recognize “international codes?” Where in the US Constitution does it provide for international jurisdiction over local codes? In fact, in some states we can’t even sit on our own land and collect the rain as it falls from the sky for our own personal use. If you do this in the state of Oregon, for example, you could go to prison… Gary Harrington, the Oregon man convicted of collecting rainwater and snow runoff on his rural property surrendered Wednesday morning to begin serving his 30-day, jail sentence in Medford, Ore. for the rest: theeconomiccollapseblog/archives/america-government-officials-cracking-preppers Economic Collapse Blog ^ | 01/08/2015 | Michael Snyder
