CONVICTED: In Oregon, the rain that falls on YOUR land... isn't yours.

Wait what?

Gary Harrington built 3 reservoirs on his own 170-acre property to collect rainwater & snowmelt for fire protection. The state said: "Drain it. All water belongs to us." He refused. They hit him with 9 misdemeanors, 30 days in jail, and a $1,500 fine. This is government ownership of the sky!

I know some of you are mad intelligent and my question is: What goes through your head when you all read these crazy "government" stories? 🙄

We should not expect our enemy to gift us with anything, or even to remain quiet if we don’t do anything “wrong”. The enemy will always try to steal from us, every kind of property we own.
So this doesn’t surprise me. In fact, what is surprising is that in some places some things are still “free” to own and/or use.
The enemy is the state, in its every form and declination.
