We recently sold my grandparent’s home. It was in a very secluded rural area. I was worried about squatters. I lived an hour away and every time I drove-up to the house, I felt scared to enter. The sheriff and friends weren’t always available to accompany me. It was extremely stressful. I called the insurance agency and told them house was empty and in the process of selling, she said insurance would be increased due to squatters rights. So the insurance companies get richer. This is all part of the powers-who-won’t-be plan to own nothing and be happy. Get people fed-up, angry and hopeless and give-up their dreams. I shudder to think how much more of this squatting business will be happening with all the illegal immigrants coming in.

This is a crazy world. Thank you Lord for my Marlin 336 and my Taurus 9. I don't want to hurt anyone but if you try to commandeer my home you will face the wrath of tom. I'm also shopping for a 12 GA. Pump.

Go for the inertia drive type shotgun. Dickinson makes a good 12 gauge one. Fires as fast as you pull the trigger. No pumping. Not heirloom quality like many Brownings or Remingtons, but for home defense, hunting and price, can't be beat. Usually can find on sale. Just a suggestion.

Hey Tom, up here in Canuckistan we have a stupid slime minister who would tell you that self defence is not legal. There is a saying here about him. "Fack Trudeau."

said it before, gonna say it again. this will be weaponized against us. if some obscure creditor claims title and forecloses, if the insurance prices you out of your own home, are you not a squatter on what was once your own property? see david rogers webb's work https://live.childrenshealthdefense.org/chd-tv/events/the-great-taking-film-premiere/great-taking-film-premiere-event

on face value, there's no arguing with the logic that no one other than you is entitled to living on your property without your consent. but be careful what you wish for and how you go about obtaining it.

Good point. It's about time we use these ridiculous laws against the real shit landlords: the banks.

Rentier capitalism is the issue, where those who produce nothing at all make money on "rent" aka interest.

Why do we need private banks as middlemen between the federal bank system? Why can't we borrow directly instead of having another schmuck getting commissions on the loan?

Stupid ass bullshit

Florida just passed a law to rid properties of squatter almost immediately. YOUR state can do it, too! https://www.flsenate.gov/Committees/billsummaries/2024/html/3352

Why is the rightful owner of the property required to pay a “fee”? That is the Sheriff’s job.

Probably need to see the full bill and also the affidavit to find out why. It beats what’s happening elsewhere. The attorney who helped write the

It’s probably court fees. 😉

Proof Infant Vaccines Kill Babies (sorry, "off topic" but important)

https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/proof-infant-vaccines-kill-babies

This is a condensation of the extensively researched post by A Midwestern Doctor

https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-century-of-evidence-that-vaccines

This is one little snippet of 100 years of evidence:

..In 2021, Florida’s childhood vaccination rate decreased from 93.4% in 2020 to only 79.3% in 2021. At the same time this happened, all-cause infant mortality under one year of age in Florida also decreased by 8.93% (a reversal of 2020’s trend where infant mortality had increased by 0.67%). As a 14 percent decrease in vaccination coverage was associated with a 9 percent decrease in infant mortality, this led Chudov to conclude that roughly half of the infant deaths in Florida could potentially be attributed to vaccinations...

What a shame that some will 'steal' someone else's property and the law will protect them with a 'squatter's rights' law. Talk about an upside down world.

It seems to me like this is one of the outcomes of a grossly unequal society in which some have much and others have nothing.

Since Reagan's term began in 1981 rents and housing prices continue to rise at above the rate of inflation while wages for many have stagnated.

What do people do when they can no longer afford the ever increasing rent? Some become homeless living on the street; others squat in unoccupied housing perhaps believing the Universal Deceleration of Human Rights stipulation, promulgated in 1949, that "... all human beings have a right to be housed..."

Many countries, even so-called "third world", "backward" countries such as Mexico take the stipulation in the Decleration of Human Rights seriously: they don't allow housing to be used by real estate speculators to make a "killing" by landlords gouging renters. Such countries cap rents and make sure people who want housing have housing.

This country is increasingly abandoning its working-class, many of whom were elevated to middle-class status under the aegis of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal.

Virtually no one in power cares about these people now. They have no money to buy politicians and thus they have no voice. Their capitalist masters no longer pay them a living wage and they turn, in desperation, to desperate acts such as squatting in someone else's property. What is their alternative? Living on the street?

It is becoming increasingly well known that the United States and her American Imperium are dying. Problem is the American Rulers (the capitalists and the financiers; what George Carlin correctly called, "...the owners; you have owners, they OWN you...") won't go down quietly; they are throwing the working class under the bus to try to buy themselves a little more time. (E.g. they haven't paid a "living wage" in 40 years; who could be stupid enough to think that anyone could live on the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour?! At which it has been stuck for 15 years. No one cares about these people. What does one expect them to do as "their" country abandons them and they are left to die homeless?)

The chickens are coming home to roost, as the saying goes. One might consider "squatting" a pretty mild and innocuous offense compared to what these people could be doing and may yet resort to in the future if they continue to be ignored and abused by a country that no longer cares about or works on behave of its own citizens.

Revolutions have resulted from this sort of mistreatment in the past. "Let them eat cake", indeed.

Probably run by enterprising illegal aliens. Ain't that a kick!

Don't you just love free market capitalism. If there is a problem, someone will start a business to fix it. It's a 360 win.

Thanks Celia for the update!...This problem (and continued discussion) will no doubt enrage and engage (hopefully) the actions of all concerned land and home-owners. A friend related the story to me yesterday: a woman's home had been 'occupied' illegally, and the sheriff wouldn't remove the tenants who had no lease. Solution? The woman home owner leased the property to her son. The son went to the home and called the sheriff and the illicit tenants were evicted. The detail my friend related was that the sheriff was not pleased by this action. Some sheriffs are 'constitutionally-principled' while others lean too far left. I am very sympathetic to the cause of homelessness and aware that the WEF credo--"to own nothing" are two factors which serve to ignite argumentative discourse. The problems we are facing are multi-fold, and the situation with so many "illegals" streaming into the country is untenable. There's something very twisted and deranged about the fact that Gates and BlackRock and China can own more land than native born Americans. Not to mention the facts regarding the original indigenous peoples who have a birthright that has been summarily dismissed by corrupted politicians and greedy real estate developers.

Very good videos - thank you for bringing this to light

Second video way too much talking. Just move them out of the way, do your job. If they touch you first thats on them. Oh and phone videos only work if the phone works? Dude dropped his phone and it broke? Shucks.

this is all so California, for now.

Allowing squatting legally is really beyond imagining. I suppose the local sheriffs/deputies and police who get calls about this, and can make judgment calls, are probably extra-loathe to act for the homeowner because they themselves can be prosecuted if they don't follow every jot and tittle and spirit of the "law". Certainly in criminal cases this is the situation in many states...the perps and their defenders fight back and police get jail time. What a terrible mess. This is not a landlord/tenant dispute matter, which makes it extra maddening. This can happen to anyone.
