Stevens, 47, was trying to make ends meet by powering her home with solar panels and batteries for several months before Avondale code enforcement
officials visited her on Dec. 10.
"We explained to her that the panels weren't enough to sustain a quality of life there," said Pam Altounian, code enforcement manager for
Avondale.
Stevens said she was not given adequate notice before officials gave her 24 hours to contact Arizona Public Service Co. to reconnect electricity or
her home would be condemned.
The mafia works the same way. They come to you and force you to 'buy their services'. In this case the state is working to make sure that the
electric monopoly is maintained.
As in any land full of slaves, the rulers appoint the monopolies for maximization of their revenue and taxation from that revenue. They always use
force to achieve their goal. There is no need for negotiation or compromise or anything when you use force - it's a fast easy way to a huge unearned
paycheck.
It's also true of practically all other industries. The medical industry has teamed up with the state to make prescription of B17 illegal, so that
doctors can continue to sell ridiculously overpriced chemotherapy sessions instead of ridiculously cheap blackberries and apricot seeds.
The idea is, where it would be tough to compete with existing industries, instead just use the power of government (force) to establish the need (or
the requirement for participation in) a new industry. Why bother trying to compete with other industries when you can just create one that everyone is
forced to buy into?
Why bother trying to compete with other insurance companies when you can just have the state enforce mandatory auto insurance and then set your prices
as high as you want to? The state will even do it for a mere fraction of the profit in return.
Billions are spent each year maintaining lawns that feed no one, but almost all homeowners are forced to buy into this industry.
The medical hierarchy blocks life-saving drugs from being sold if the cost of the cure is less than the cost of current treatments (cancer). That
would be the preservation of an archaic industry (chemo, surgery) to avoid moving onto cheaper technology (apricot seeds) and reducing the overall
networth of the industry.
Even the prohibition of certain substances removes many cheap medicinal values and leaves in their place exorbitantly expensive pharmaceuticals.
The entity which makes all these monopolies possible, the state, is the same entity which is willing to murder you in order to take your labor from
you (taxation). It is the same entity which can print up all the fake money it could ever possibly need, yet still shakes the pennies from your
pockets every workday.
Without a group of people who use force to achieve their ends, without the state, no monopoly is possible. It's the state that would condemn the
residence for not buying electricity from the state's business partner "friendly electric company". It's the state that would kidnap children at
gunpoint if the family chose to live in a "condemned" house. Only the state can crush solar power and safeguard the current grid monopoly.
Probably the worst part of it is, your tax dollars pay the interest for the loans that make all this possible. In no way does the state ever pay for
anything itself. It makes you pay for your own enslavement.
Incase anyone may be thinking that this long rant is leading to some kind of solution, guess again. That's the quadrillion dollar question right
there. How do you stop someone who holds a gun to your head? I really just wanted to rant.
