Agenda 21 Swat Teams Are Seizing Private Property

The Antelope Valley is a desolate
stretch of land on the fringes of Los Angeles County. Very few people
want to stay there except for a group of self-described
rugged individualists. Common sense would determine that these people
have discovered a place where the govt would just want to leave them
alone. However, nothing could be farther from the fact. The citizens of
Antelope Valley are progressively becoming the victims of SWAT team
raids being performed by local code enforcement agents. These govt thugs
called themselves as the Nuisance Abatement Teams (NATs).
Phonrhenge
The plight of the Valley’s desert
dwellers made regional headlines when county officials ordered the
destruction of Phonehenge: which is a massive, colorful castle
constructed out of telephone poles by retired phone technician Kim Fahey.
County officials showed up and tore down
the structure and their court system sentenced the bearded retired
phone company technician to 543 days in jail because he said he couldn’t afford to
pay the $80,000 for the demolition of the structure and the subsequent
removal of the debris. Fahey served over a year and a half in jail for
nothing more than a misdemeanor. His major crime was that “he fought the
man”.
Fahey Is Not Alone In Saying No
NATs are tax supported tyranny at work.
Fahey was just the first
of several Antelope Valley residents who have been targeted by the
NAT Agenda 21 SWAT teams. The creation of the Agenda 21 Swat
teams which were assembled at the request of County Supervisor Mike
Antonovich for the purposes of harassing “off the grid rugged
individualists”.
We are nearly eight years into this controversy. In 2006, LA Weekly reporter Mars Melnicoff wrote
an in-depth article in which she exposed the county’s tactic of
badgering poor residents with extremely petty code violations but
attaching very costly fines to the violations. Over time the fines
against these off the grid residents mounts until the residents are
faced with little choice but to walk away from their properties without
any compensation. Melnicoff concluded that LA County officials “Are
picking on the people who are the most defenseless and have the least
resources”.
The NAT SWAT teams armed with M-16′s
and equipped in full body armor have harassed Antelope residents such as
retired veteran Joey Gallo. Gallo faces homelessness if he’s forced to
vacate his house because he cannot afford to pay the massive fines
associated with minuscule code violations.
Seventh Day Adventist pastor, Oscar
Castaneda, states that he’s already given up on fighting the
county and> has moved off the land where he and his wife had
lived for 22 years.
The Irony of Nuisance Abatement Teams
The targeting of impacted Antelope Valley
residents by “Nuisance Abatement Teams” has an ironic ring to it. The
NATs are mostly about mitigating noise. Most of these residents do not
live within a mile of the nearest neighbor. In some cases, 10 miles
separates neighbors, which makes one wonder how anyone could be too
noisy or pose a nuisance to their neighbors.
There Is the Reason and Then There’s the Real Reason
I have been to Antelope Valley and its
landscape is as desolate as the dark side of the moon. You can literally
drive for miles and not see a building, a car or a person. The LA
County Commissioners should be thrilled that anyone lives on that land
because it does generate property tax revenue.
The local residents speculate that there
is a decided effort to get the Antelope residents off of their land
because some deep pocketed people with political connections can make
money off this land and the politicians are all too willing to help. I
agree that there is an ulterior motive connected to the SWAT team
attacks on Antelope Valley Residents. However, the Agenda 21 police play
a role as well.
This Sounds Familiar
Beginning in 2003, my rural community was targeted by our state and local politicians as they
passed legislation to “restrict” our property rights. Restrict was a
nice term for “get off of your land, we have a better use for it and we
are not paying you”. My community was told that we were in the way of
the operations of Luke AFB, 30 miles to the south. The planes coming out
of Luke had to fly over a quarter of a million people to reach my rural
community, so we knew that was not the case. We subsequently found that
three other Arizona communities were having similar restrictions in
which the residents were told that if you have storm damage or a fire,
you could not rebuild and we would be forced off of our land. This was
de facto eminent domain utilizing an illegal practice called inverse
condemnation.
As I was pouring over maps one late
night, I discovered that all of the besieged property owners lived near
or on a planned CANAMEX Highway. The odds of this being a coincidence
are astronomical. If the powers that be could force us off our land
through property rights restrictions under false pretenses, they could
acquire the land rights for the highway for free. The CANAMEX Highway is
the transportation arm of the Central American Free Trade Agreement
(CAFTA). CAFTA and NAFTA are about connecting Canada, Mexico and the US.
This cozy regionalized agreement is a big move towards the creation of
the North American Union. The North American Union adheres closely to
Agenda 21 policies. Agenda 21 policies also want nobody to live off of
the grid in rural areas. The politicians beholding to Agenda 21 policies
are committed to moving people to densely populated areas and if their
land theft can turn a profit for a political friend, all the better.
As you watch the following video, you
will see that Antelope Valley residents speculate as to is what is
behind the land theft by their county. Is their land being seized
because a development is planned? Are people being forced off of their
land because there is a highway planned to go through in the area? Is
this Agenda 21 and let’s force people off of their rural land? Is abuse
being perpetrated because everyone must be on the grid and in the
system. It is likely that all of their theories are correct. However,
and you can take this to the bank, Agenda 21 forces are throwing money
at the LA County Commissioners to do what they are doing with Agenda
21/ICLEI grants and loans. And certainly, no off the grid living is
allowed and rural residents must move to inner city urban areas.

Conclusion
Before
you pat your neighbor on the back and tell them that you are glad that
you do not live in Arizona or in the Antelope Valley, you should
consider that variations of this theme are being carried out in a
neighborhood near you and this will be the topic of the next part of
this series. If you do not live in the inner city, you have already been
targeted and that will be the topic of part two of this series.
