L.A. County's War on Desert Rats

Related link: http://www.laweekly.com/2011-06-23/news/l-a-county-s-private-property-war/

Tough code enforcement has been ramped up in these unincorporated areas of L.A. County, leaving the iconoclasts who chose to live in distant sectors of the Antelope Valley frightened, confused and livid. They point the finger at the Board of Supervisors' Nuisance Abatement Teams, known as NAT, instituted in 2006 by Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael Antonovich in his sprawling Fifth District. The teams' mission: "to abate the more difficult code violations and public nuisance conditions on private property."

This is about Agenda 21, the UN agenda of stealing personal property from the people of the world, especially the US.

turning us into a socialist hell on earth.

they don’t want to outside a controlled city, they don’t want you to be self sufficient, but dependent on them.

Mike Antonovich is a Republican. he's doing what the Romney-type Republicans want to do.

Remember that when you vote this year.

I couldn't quickly find any comprehensive articles on this. The county has been ignoring these people for decades. They people weren't bothering anyone and weren't bothered. Now, it's different.

OK. What's behind it, now? Who is after the land?

YOU ALL WAITED WAY TOO LONG... I have been warning people about these exact things for over 15 years now. No one listened and everyone called me a conspiricy nut. Now it's pretty much too late. You can not stop what is now happening. Everything has been set into motion. All you can really do now is put your heads between your legs and kiss your sorry asses goodbye.... Maybe I'll see a couple of you on a mountain top somewhere just before the military takes the rest of us out.

The government is now a black pirate ship, and if you can avoid them u might be ok but now they got google earth, and no matter how far out u live they see u and they come to shake u down for everything u own..all I ever wanted was a small piece of land at the very least to leave my son with something before I depart,..I guess I would be better off investing in lots of guns and leaving him with those,..we should all be ashamed we all let it get this bad,..and better believe if u fight them they

We're living in the end stages of a Dark Age and many are just noticing it because SURPRISE the dark forces do whatever they want, even TAKE YOUR THINGS (shouldn't be a shock, do you sense the sarcasm?) It's sad it's gotten so far without a fight, if one's coming it won't be long now.
