He
takes his job very seriously - he walks around the neighborhood early in the
evening with a tablet in hand, diligently writing down minor offenses that will
then appear in threatening letters to the respective homeowners. He reminds me
of the neighborhood informant under communism who, for a small fee, a few extra
crumbs of food, and access to the communist hospitals, would keep a daily log
of everybody’s comings and goings and record information on their own relatives
and then report it to the security police.
I
do not know who snitched on my neighbors across the small pond. They had a
beautiful vegetable garden within the perimeter of their well-tended yard. A painted
fence surrounds the property in order to keep the deer and other forest critters
at bay. They toiled in this garden every morning and every evening and it was a
beauty: green and bell peppers, okra, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, and squash.
The garden was not visible from the street and it certainly did not violate the
300-page HOA rulebook that each homeowner was handed upon signing the agreement
to move into the neighborhood.
Two
days ago, two men with smirks of satisfaction on their faces were busy pulling out
every plant by the roots in this beautiful garden and throwing it over the
fence, while the lady of the house was crying, wringing her hands helplessly
nearby and wiping away silent tears. It was heart breaking to see such
injustice. Do we still live in free America? I have seen this woman work so
hard tending to her plants since early March. It was a labor of love to provide
her family with fresh vegetables, especially since everything is so expensive
in grocery stores thanks to our disastrously run economy.
We
import a lot of fruit and vegetables from Mexico and Chile. Congresswomen
Boxer, Feinstein, and Pelosi from California and this administration made sure
that as much as possible of our fruit and vegetable production in the San Joaquin
valley in California would be destroyed by denying farmers water – God forbid
the Delta smelt, a tiny fish, might be hurt.
I
moved away 8,000 miles to escape communism and now, this communist organization,
the HOA, composed of die-hard Obama fans, was telling me that I could not move
into the house my husband and I have built from our hard work until we signed
such a contract. We paid the fee every month for the “privilege” of having our trash
picked up twice a week, a swimming pool that we never used, and snow removal
that seldom happened.
I
thought we had choices in a free country but I was wrong. We moved as far away
from the metro area as possible to escape HOA. We could have bought a parcel of
land in the woods somewhere, but I am sure, EPA regulations would have made it
impossible since everything is close to marshland. In Maryland, you can no
longer build in an area without an established sewer system. Governor O’Malley,
through executive order, has forbidden septic tanks. Houses can only be built
along an approved corridor, thanks to UN Agenda 21’s Smart Growth, which
requires that a very large portion of our lands be given back to the wilderness.
We must move into high rises, five minutes’ walk or bike from work, school, and
play
We
no longer live in a free country; we just have an illusion of freedom.
When
I first came to the United States, I recoiled in fear every time I saw a cop. My
heart rate would go up tremendously, to the point of tachycardia. I had been
conditioned, after 20 years of communism, that the security police, the
economic police, the secret police, the military police, were there to harass
citizens, arrest them, beat them, torture them, rape them, steal their possessions,
their wealth, and confiscate any property. Their job was not to protect and
defend us. It took me a good three years to get over the fear of police, the
sheriff, and the highway patrol.
I
was not alone in this. When my mom came to visit, she jumped every time there
was a knock on the door. She experienced the same feelings because we had been
conditioned to be submissive and to fear police, whether we did something wrong
or not. They could always find something wrong if they wanted to in order to
throw us in jail.
I
see America moving in that direction. The emergence of TSA with their intrusive
pat-downs and molestations at airports, random checks at metros, at train and
bus stations, did not see many citizens protesting, they are being submissive, and
they are giving up their rights, their freedom of speech, of being free
Americans. We are transforming into a police state.
The
most recent viral YouTube video shows a man, stopped three times at roadblocks
in California within 90 minutes ride, asked to prove that he is American. He
protested, had a camera ready, and refused to show his papers since he did
nothing wrong,
The
police was surprised that he said no, everybody else was compliant
collectively, like sheep going over a cliff, “Is this not America anymore, is
it Nazi Germany,” he asked. The rest of the drivers submitted, gave up their
Constitutional rights, and yielded to the intrusion by police. Whatever
happened to the requirements of probable cause and a search warrant?
We
are just a few steps from ratifying the UN Small Arms Treaty. Once ratified, we
must surrender our personal guns for protection and hunting. We will be defenseless
against home intruders, thieves, and drug gangs. Criminals can always procure
guns in spite of bans.
Fear
is growing inside my heart. I see police everywhere, most are in unmarked cars,
different types of vehicle, and hard to detect. If they are here to serve us
and receive taxpayer dollars, if I do not know who they are, how will I be able
to ask for help in case of an emergency? They are here to harass, catch and
ticket speeders, control us, stop us, and cameras are everywhere. It is so scary,
I do not like the America as it is transforming, and I fear for the future of
everybody’s children and grandchildren. We are turning into a banana republic
dictatorship with many similarities to fascistic elements and to communist
China.
The
question remains, which poison will we be forced to take, will we be like
communist China, or some other type of dictatorship? We do have the 257 Chinese
FTZ (Free Trade Zones) all over the United States, which seems bizarre, but, in
context with all the money we owe them, it makes sense.
We
are in a period of economic abundance and welfare dependency; Americans have
not suffered economically since the end of World War II. Under this
administration, food stamp recipients are at an all time high, yet the
government is advertising the giving of more food stamps, renamed to take away
the stigma of being a perennial bum, waiting on handouts. Economic abundance
had lead to complacency, laziness, apathy, and dependence on government as a nanny
state. Who needs a family, mommy and daddy, when we have the government? Such
dependency is going to lead to cowardice and a morass of spiritual, moral, and
physical bondage.
