Demonic User ID: 12662903 United Kingdom 06/04/2012 09:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Help Glp'ers, I'm going a bit crazy here in South Africa. This country sucks! I have a small sheep farm, basically self-sustaining. Grow all my own food, with a Jersey cow for dairy needs. I bought this little farm about 5 years ago. I am so damn angry! TPTB have just upped my monthly payment. Our electricity has gone up again..... I pay R1000.00 line charges every month. This is just so I can have access to power to pump water from the borehole, etc, which then adds another R1000.00 of electricity used onto my bill. Of course they know that solar power is totally unaffordable here, I got a quote of R45000.00. Ludicrious. Running a generator is just as bad with fuel costing R12.00/l. The only thing keeping me going are my dogs.... which are crucial for my safety and Glp. Of course, internet costs are astronomical, R289.00/gig! What to do, what to do. DOOOOOOOM must come quickly. Sorry about the ranting and raving and tks for listening. GBYA Quoting: ShepherdGirl I will come and live with you. Together we will discover the true meaning of progress. :sun:Ardhanarishvara | You died, and death was complete freedom from suffering - bliss. But it very quickly got lonely and repetitive in bliss, so you decided to be born once more. You've been doing this forever. Whilst I may not agree with what you say, I will defend to the death my right to disagree with you. Some say "think outside the box". I say "what fucking box?!" xx:taosmilie: |

They don't want you being self-sufficient. They want you living in a city and dependent on them. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17020816 They will tax you and anyone like you until you can't afford it. They are going to take your land. How do you stop it? Mass civil uprising. Peaceful at first and if that doesn't work then Civil War. Some things are worth fighting and dying for and freedom and property rights are a couple. The hell they will! There is no way they putting me in the city. I will fight for my right to be free and live my own lifestyle. Agenda 21 is real bad news. Land appropriation is my biggest concern here. What a joke.. While I admire your spirit there is no way on Earth that you can do it alone. They will crush you like a bug. You need to 'rally the troops' so-to-speak. |

Quoting: Muzzle Most of Farmers/Ranchers there live in perpetual mortal danger from thugs. do you have trusted help? Getting rather chilly here now, -3°c at present. Yes my dogs, 4 boxers and 1 sheepdog and 8 puppies born last week, among other things. Trustworthy help is very hard to find here, safer without. Most of the crime is from the internal help. Are you armed? If not can you buy weapons? Do you have access to training? Survival skills? |

I understand where you're coming from though, life can be such a beautiful thing... if others don't try to take it away from you. Try selling your dairy products or your vegetables? Breed with the cow and sell the young ones in a couple of months? I'm just thinking out loud here... One of the plans I'm currently (part time obv) working on is growing small fruit or vegetable plants, preferably ones that are harder to grow, stuff you can't really find where you live,... and sell or trade them when they're strong and big enough! Try cutting down on other costs that potentially could be replaced through a trading system? No idea if it's possible there though, but over here, I know of a couple of places where I could go to trade stuff for other stuff or services. CB24SD! |

It sucks big time. I do feel things will turn around for all of us at some point, just hope it happens before too much longer. Don't know how much longer we can all hang on, but want you to know I am sending you good wishes and good wishes and prayers for us all.:) |

GBYA Quoting: ShepherdGirl Look up water wells for Africa They might be able to help you they put in water wells for people They also take donations so people like you can get water I am supposed to get money soon. Maybe we can work something out for me to put in a pump for you. Do you know if you have any water veins on your land. I also water witch with an olive branch. MY DAD does it and hit water every-time. He was ask to witch a water vain. They couldn't locate water even with their machines and all their tec. The man who needed water did not believe in what I and my father did. He spent thousands of dollars trying to find a vain. He finally said for my Father to come out and give it a try. My Father went a few yards from were they had been drilling. He struck a water vain not more then five min after he got there. They started taking out water out of the vain and got about 3500 gallons per min..I and my father have never missed. My Father is a good man and only charged them a few hundred dollars. If he would charge a percentage of the water that comes out he would be a rich man. 25 cents on each gallon would be up in the millions right now. My Father said that is not how he does it. So i would be willing to help..Let me know what you think... You can write me at [email protected]. We have done irrigation all our life's. I have put in systems that where Over 500 Acres. above and below ground..hope to hear from you soon. It is up to you..I would need traveling paid. My Father is almost 87 and would not want to make the trip It is up to you...You could be sitting on millions of gallons if not billions in water veins... |
