Enemies of the State
One of our readers in Washington state has run into some problems with the civil government over their chickens. They have set out on a counter attack, may the Lord grant them success. They have set up a blog for anyone interested, called Up to Our Wattles
This is the kind of stuff that Christian Agrarians will be facing in the future. Whether or not you know it, the government has declared you an enemy of the State. Seperating ourselves from a corrupt culture and system, turning back to a home economy, cannot be ignored by those who want to control everything. You can’t blame them, we are going to “ruin everything”. Other bloggers have been posting about the “raw milk wars” going on in several states. Farmers treated like drug dealers for selling natures perfect food to simple peasants. Follow the money and you will find Big Ag standing over the corpses of more family farmers. Those who demand centalization and those who advocate an agrarian order, will be fighting a war against each other. Those who claim ownership of our children are not happy when we educate them ourselves and remove them from the class know as “future cannon fodder”. While we work to to live simple lives, working with our own hands, helping our neighbors, seperating ourselves from the pagan masses; remember to watch your back. When they come to tell you that you can’t own chickens, whats your plan? When they come tell you that its against the law to sell a chicken to the guy down the street, whats your plan? When they try again to ban home education, what are you going to do. We had better resolve to stand our ground! Everyone of us should be working to educate our neighbors and get them on our side’s ahead of time. It wouldn’t hurt if a few us held offices at the local and county level either. While waging war against such a mighty foe, let us think small. Keep these battles local, where we have thew most power. Those who conspire against God’s order, work in vain. He who sits on high laughs at them. He will dash them to peices with his rod.(Psalm 2) Let Him find us faithful and obeident, while we pray that He will deliver us from our enemies and restore our land.

Do you have a URL or a link to their page? I would love to keep up with it. I agree that we are going to have this more often in the future.

Hi Marci
Just click on the words “Up to My Waddles” in the post
The color of the links are hard to see on this blog. I’ll have to see if Mark can change the color for me, sorry about that.

It is an uphill battle against the Govi-Corp that wants to take a tithe on every transaction. You cheat them if you do for yourself… That is their thinking.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Years!

Wow! I thought that I was the only one with the chicken problem! Honestly, I have just found out that it is illegal for me to have harmless chickens in my back yard, yet my neighbor has ferocious violent dogs that continually jumped the fence into my yard forcing me to raise a privacy fence to protect my children. Unfortunate that I have lost some much needed Sunlight that my garden would appreciate. But I can’t have a chicken? Well, Someday, I Pray that God will grant me financial security to such that I may purchase a small farm where I can grow my own eggs, foul, mutton etc. Oh I dream. Until then, I have purchased “shares” of a cow in which I am granted x gals of pure unadulterated MILK from a farmer. This is our loophole in the unconstitutional milk Nazi laws. Who would’a thunk it? Milk, & chicken laws. It’s such a shame.

Ben said: I Pray that God will grant me financial security to such that I may purchase a small farm where I can grow my own eggs, foul, mutton etc.
Ben, I hate to quibble. (Okay. Truthfully, I get a kick out of it.) But you will be raising fowl with a ‘w’. It is actually the present situation that is foul.
May God bless your work of faith, and cause every good intention of yours to come to fruition!

How funny. I will be the farmer that can’t even spell fowl. I will most likely make a foul of it! No, really what I was saying is that I want “foul mutton.” You know how that stuff smells when you cook it.
Anyway, I’ll know what’s in it, and I will thank my God & Savior for it every day!

Ben:
There is a reason we call him the agrarian grammarian.
It is so sad to see the double standards our communities have. Makes a milkmaid weep.
