America against the Garden of Eden!!!
I am not making this up!!
The militarization of America has been nicely documented by Mark Steyn among others.
Don't worry, America-it gets worse!
"A small organic farm in Arlington, Texas, was the target of a massive police action last week that included aerial surveillance, a SWAT raid and a 10-hour search."
"Members of the local police raiding party had a search warrant for
marijuana plants, which they failed to find at the Garden of Eden farm."
"But farm owners and residents who live on the property told a Dallas-Ft.
Worth NBC station that the real reason for the law enforcement exercise
appears to have been code enforcement."
"The police seized "17 blackberry
bushes, 15 okra plants, 14 tomatillo plants ... native grasses and
sunflowers," after holding residents inside at gunpoint for at least a
half-hour, property owner Shellie Smith said in a statement. The raid
lasted about 10 hours, she said."
Did you catch that????
A 10 hour raid by a heavily armed SWAT team to seize organic produce!
And more damning:
"Local authorities had cited the Garden of Eden in recent weeks for code
violations, including "grass that was too tall, bushes growing too close
to the street, a couch and piano in the yard, chopped wood that was not
properly stacked, a piece of siding that was missing from the side of
the house, and generally unclean premises," Smith's statement said. She
said the police didn't produce a warrant until two hours after the raid
began, and officers shielded their name tags so they couldn't be
identified.
I'm sorry, America-this is totalitarian. There is just no other way to describe it.
"In recent years, SWAT teams have been called out to perform
regulatory alcohol inspections at a bar in Manassas Park, Va.; to raid
bars for suspected underage drinking in New Haven, Conn.; to perform
license inspections at barbershops in Orlando, Fla.; and to raid a gay
bar in Atlanta where police suspected customers and employees were
having public sex. A federal investigation later found that Atlanta
police had made up the allegations of public sex."
"Other raids have been conducted on food co-ops and Amish farms suspected of selling unpasteurized milk products."
The question is-what are you going to do about it?
Your lemonade stand, garden, unchopped wood or overgrown grass could be next. But when we see American SWAT teams attacking the Garden of Eden, shouldn't we be more concerned? Could there be a more ominous metaphor?
Could there be any more a prophetic warning that this?
