20 Common Functions of American Life the Government Wants to Regulate, Restrict or Outright Ban
GATEWAYPUNDIT ^ | 9/19/2023 | jim hoft, Leo Hohmann

Looking at the big picture, the two things that corrupt ruling elites want to see TERMINATED are the Constitution and God Himself

The U.S. government was never meant to be an all-inclusive entity involved in almost every aspect of our lives, the way it is today. So how did we get to this point and what areas of our lives need to be taken back from the illegitimate claims of government in order for us to be able to say we live in a truly free country?

Watch the brief video below, provided by Hillsdale College, comparing the Founders’ vision of government under a constitutional republic, to the modern version of government under a “democracy” as defined for us by our oligarchal overlords. The transition from a constitutional republic to a so-called “democracy” where all societal narratives are tightly controlled by a ruling elite has happened so gradually that few people are even aware that the transition has taken place, even though it is now almost totally complete.

VIDEO

The video above got me thinking about all the things the U.S government has said it wants to ban, has already banned, or plans to ban but hasn’t told you yet.

Keep in mind that before the government moves to ban a particular item, it will use the corporate mass-media to put out propaganda attacking that item and how it’s bad for the environment or some other liberal cause. Often the item or product we are told we must use in place of the banned item is much worse for the environment.

So, in no particular order, here are 20 things that come to mind that are in various stages of being regulated, restricted or outright banned that the government has no business even being involved in.

All things that make our lives much easier and/or are good for us.

.

.

Wood stoves (strictly regulated, some models already banned)

Gas stoves (federal government openly says it wants to ban)

Gas generators (federal government wants to ban)

Gas cars and independent vehicle travel (taxed, phased out, banned and replaced by 2035 with autonomous electric vehicles with a remote kill switch.)

Air travel (taxed, regulated, soon to be restricted and rationed)

Gas lawn equipment (government wants to ban)

Supplements (regulated, government plans to ban)

Over-the-counter cold meds (banned)

Berkey carbon filters for clean drinking water (EPA trying to ban)

Physical cash and coinage (wants to ban, started phasing out during Covid, will gradually be replaced by digital, programmable money with an “on-off switch.” This transition is already happening in some countries and will launch soon in America.)

Physical ID cards (plastic or paper being replaced by digital and biometric such as facial ID, palm scans or eyeball scans)

Borders and boundaries between nations (already banned by most Western nations except when convenient to harass and persecute law-abiding citizens).

National citizenship and national sovereignty (plan is to have global citizens under global governance)

Genders (it’s all fluid, right?).

Rainwater capture (already regulated in at least 13 states including California, Oregon, Nevada, Wisconsin, Colorado, Illinois, Georgia, Ohio, Washington, Rhode Island, Utah and Virginia)

Private well water (already regulated in some states, California plans to meterize private wells and sell your own water back you, the homeowner)

Removal of water from creeks or streams (regulated, restricted, plan to ban)

Backyard gardening (registration “encouraged” for future regulation?)

Firearms (ultra-regulated and restricted, plan is to ban them outright)

The ability to pro-create and reproduce (Already severely discouraged, the plan is to ban and replace with artificial insemination; designer babies will be grown in labs with DNA features for sale, under government registration, regulation, fees, taxes, etc.)

We got here because our representative and senator outsourced their constitutional duties to departments and bureaus.
They now make laws ( pardon me, regulations) that are treated as laws, while they harump and party.
Any law that denied a person life, liberty or personal treasure has to come from the legislature.
This is why the deep state is so deep.

Demand that our rep’s do their damn jobs, take the power away from the deep state.

When harsh storms hit, millions of people rely on Generators.

That is a death sentence for these people.

Although easy to define but sometimes hard to maintain is simple: DO NOT COMPLY.

After living in the DC area for 4 years and then in Northern California for the rest of our life, many if not most of the restrictions are what we have lived with into our mid 80’s.

Our relatives and friends in the MW, SW and East coast no longer laugh at what we have to do just to live legally.

The globolist slavers want the people in electronic chains, contantly monitored and controlled, unable to provide anything for themselves. Sick.

Young people don't understand that the U.S. government was intended to simply provide a defense structure for the original nation/states. Over the years, states' rights were removed and taken over by the feds. The feds are supposed to protect us from outside enemies, but now they welcome them in and deny us our rights, including states' rights to govern themselves. Too big to take down and restore individual rights.

Rainwater Capture - Yep. It rained this morning so I’ve got a FULL rain barrel right this minute!

Private Water Well - Yep. Got that, too.

Creek on the property? Yep. Only water removal is from dairy cows and wildlife drinking from it. ;)

Gardening? 16 raised beds, a greenhouse, a dozen various fruit trees, small fruits (strawberries, raspberries, honey berries) Rhubarb and Asparagus patches.

How ELSE can I irritate Mother Government, today? I LIVE for it! :)

“How ELSE can I irritate Mother Government, today? I LIVE for it! :)”

I thought of others: We raise our own beef steer each year and a half, buying pork directly from the neighbor and I’ll have chickens again this coming spring after the barn conversion is complete.

Now, it’s back to canning fruits and vegetables for the winter pantry; yet another way to annoy Mother Government! :)

You’re absolutely right. Life without access to emergency electrical power can really try ones patience.

I lived in Florida for over twenty years, up to 2027 and lived through many, many hurricanes. While I was young enough and healthy enough not to be at risk of dying without access to power, there were a few times where I wished I was dead.

I think the list of what they don’t want to regulate, restrict or outright ban would be much shorter.

This whole thing is gross and disgusting. They’re basically being communists here.

Yes, there is some overconsumption, waste and environmental degradation, but there are better ways to fix it than to destroy us. Making our money sound, ending profligate government spending and eliminating income and property taxes in favor of a consumption tax on ALL goods and services would be good ways to encourage conservation. JMO.

The real problem is GLUTTONY, not LIBERTY!
