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.
   It’s a sad day when living off your own land becomes a crime.

It's starting to look that way. They obviously want us dependent on the state.

Yes, yes They do. But My petition will hopefully take off and the ideas spread to the tipping point. I hope to get support from Others, because I cannot do it alone.

try this on for size.

Most of the prime spots for off the grid are patrolled by forrest rangers.

Forrrest rangers are there to keep men from poaching or encroching on the kings land.

If you claim to be a wild man, they they will be sure to put in a cage (indeed, a most unique specimen of forrest dweller).

If enough men do this at the same time in these forrests, they could give you a reservation, but would probably just chase you out of the woods gunpoint, with the us army in tow as they are wont to do.

as far as this modern civilization goes, it think adm akbar said it best;
