The Government’s War on Self-Reliance
Think about the last time you tried to do something on your own—maybe grow your own food, collect rainwater, or even fix your own car. Chances are, you ran into a rule, a fee, or some kind of permit requirement. This isn’t an accident. The system is designed to make sure you stay dependent.
Take property taxes, for example. You might own your home, but if you stop paying taxes, the government can take it. That’s not real ownership. It’s a rental agreement disguised as a deed. The same goes for licenses. Want to hunt for food? You need a permit. Want to build a shed? That’ll cost you. Every step toward self-sufficiency comes with a hurdle.
The Attack on Homesteading
A hundred years ago, people could live off their land without much interference. Now? Try raising chickens in your backyard, and your neighbors might report you for violating zoning laws. Cities ban front-yard gardens, calling them “unsightly.” Some places even make it illegal to live off-grid—no solar panels, no composting toilets, no independence.
Why? Because when people provide for themselves, they don’t need the system. And the system doesn’t like that.
Controlling Food, Controlling People
The FDA and USDA don’t just regulate food—they control it. Small farmers get crushed under mountains of paperwork while big corporations get handouts. Raw milk? Banned in many states. Selling homegrown produce? Only if you jump through enough hoops. Even seed libraries—where people share seeds for free—have been targeted by regulators.
The message is clear: You shouldn’t feed yourself. You should buy from the approved sources.
The Education Trap
Schools don’t teach survival skills. Kids learn algebra but not how to grow food, fix a leaky pipe, or start a fire. Why? Because an educated, self-reliant population is harder to control. Instead, they push college—and the debt that comes with it. Now you’re stuck in a job you hate, paying off loans, and completely reliant on the system.
The Medical Maze
Healthcare is another leash. Try treating an illness with herbs or alternative methods, and you’ll be called a quack. Doctors push pills because the system profits from sickness, not health. Even trying to opt out—by refusing vaccines or avoiding hospitals—can get your kids taken away. The goal? Keep you scared, sick, and dependent.
The Cashless Future
They want to eliminate cash. Digital payments mean every transaction can be tracked, taxed, or frozen. Try buying land with gold or silver, and you’ll see how hard they make it. A cashless society is a controlled society. No cash means no privacy—and no way out.
How to Fight Back
The solution isn’t to complain—it’s to act. Here’s how:
- Learn Skills – Gardening, carpentry, mechanics. The more you can do yourself, the less you need them.
- Buy Land – Find places with fewer restrictions. Some states still respect property rights.
- Barter – Trade goods and services without government middlemen.
- Use Cash – Support businesses that take real money. Reject digital surveillance.
- Teach Others – Share knowledge. The more people wake up, the harder it is to control them.
The Bottom Line
Self-reliance is freedom. And freedom is exactly what they don’t want you to have. Every law, tax, and regulation is another brick in the wall keeping you inside their system. But walls can be torn down. Start small, think big, and take back your independence—one step at a time.
Unelected, Unaccountable, Un-American: Inside the Administrative State
Imagine a group of people with immense power—power to create rules, enforce penalties, and shape everyday life. Now imagine they were never elected. No campaigns, no debates, no accountability to the public. This isn’t science fiction. It’s the administrative state, a sprawling network of agencies and bureaucrats that operate with little oversight.
These agencies—like the EPA, FDA, and countless others—write thousands of regulations each year. These aren’t just suggestions. They carry the force of law. But here’s the catch: the people writing them weren’t chosen by voters. They answer to political appointees, not the public. And once they’re in place, they’re nearly impossible to remove.
How the Administrative State Took Over
The founders designed America’s government with three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. The idea was simple—balance power so no single group could dominate. But over the last century, a fourth branch has emerged, one the founders never intended.
It started small. Congress passed vague laws, then handed off the details to agencies. Over time, these agencies grew bolder. They stopped just enforcing rules—they started making them. Today, they issue more “laws” (called regulations) than Congress itself. The difference? Congress faces elections. Bureaucrats don’t.
The Illusion of Democracy
Politicians love to talk about “the will of the people.” But how much of that will actually matters? When an agency like the FCC decides what you can say on the internet, or the ATF redefines gun laws without a vote, democracy takes a backseat.
Even when new presidents take office, most bureaucrats stay. They outlast administrations, quietly shaping policy regardless of who’s in charge. Some call this the “deep state.” Others say it’s just how government works. But either way, it means policies can continue unchanged, no matter what voters want.
Rules Without Representation
Here’s a question: If a regulation fines you, taxes you, or restricts your freedoms, shouldn’t you have a say in it? Not in the administrative state. Agencies operate with a level of power that would shock the founders. They investigate, judge, and punish—often without a real court ever getting involved.
Take the IRS, for example. It can seize your assets over a suspicion. The SEC can ruin a business with a single ruling. These decisions aren’t made by elected officials. They’re made by career employees who never face the ballot box.
The Revolving Door of Power
Ever notice how some regulators leave government and suddenly land high-paying jobs in the industries they once oversaw? It’s not a coincidence. The line between regulator and industry insider is blurry. Those who write the rules often end up working for the companies affected by them.
This creates a system where the people in charge aren’t just unaccountable—they’re incentivized to favor certain groups. Big corporations hire ex-regulators to “navigate” the rules. Small businesses, without those connections, get crushed.
Can It Be Stopped?
Some argue the administrative state is too big to dismantle. Others say reform is possible. A few ideas keep popping up:
- Sunset Clauses – Make agencies re-justify their existence every few years. If they’re not serving the public, shut them down.
- Congressional Approval – Require Congress to vote on major regulations before they take effect. No more rule-making in the shadows.
- Fire the Bureaucrats – Give presidents real power to remove ineffective or overreaching officials.
But change won’t come easily. The administrative state has defenders—politicians who like passing the buck, corporations that profit from complex regulations, and bureaucrats who enjoy their unchecked power.
The Fight for Accountability
The real issue isn’t just big government. It’s unaccountable government. When decisions are made by people who don’t answer to voters, freedom erodes. Laws should come from elected representatives, not faceless agencies.
This isn’t about left or right. It’s about who controls the rules we live by. Right now, that power sits with people you’ve never heard of—and never voted for. If that doesn’t bother you, it should.
The administrative state wasn’t built in a day, and it won’t be dismantled quickly. But the first step is simple: recognize it exists. After that, it’s up to the people to demand change.
Or accept that democracy is just an illusion.
