I don't know how many people here know about Eustace Conway and "Turtle Island Preserve." He has been featured in the History Channel show "Mountain Men." "Turtle Island Preserve" is a non-profit education center in the mountains of western N.C.
It seems the local government feels it would get a larger tax benefit by shutting "Turtle Island" down and allowing developers in.
The opening salvos in their war came with a raid by a dozen government agencies. All there for the purpose of building "code enforcement."
This happened on Sept. 19th. He has had to close "Turtle Island" and 'lawyer up."
He needs help now. Who is Eustace Conway and why is he a threat?

Folks… This one’s important. Please take the time to read this in its entirety, and if you’re so inclined to take action below. Trey & Coley
Government should serve the people. Unfortunately, over time the nature of government is to grow beyond its usefulness. It becomes unhealthy and obese.
When our country was formed it was based on awesome ideals. The flag and the national anthem represented those ideals. So far so good. But over time those ideals slip further and further away until all we are left with is a song, a flag and a government that has lost touch with its fundamental purpose.
As government continuously increases it’s control over every aspect of our lives we lose more and more of our freedoms.
What threatens the growth of government?
Is it the fiscal cliff we are hearing about in the news? Is it the citizen anger over government bailouts? Is it the loss of faith in central planning? How about the debasement of our currency? How about the growing concern over the government trampling our civil liberties? Is it Tea Party or Occupy Wall Street protests?
No.
When we’re angry we’re still engaged… We still show up to vote for this candidate or that candidate and expect them to right the ship.
The real threat to government is when it is ignored. When we turn our backs on it and demonstrate that we no longer need it.
Like an incorrigible narcissist, government demands our attention. When citizens no longer feel the need to bow in adoration, fear, or submission, government takes great offense.
But what if that wasn’t the case? What if we learned how to take care of ourselves? To become more self-reliant? More resilient?
What if we didn’t need government deciding everything for us?
For government at all levels such thoughts are hugely threatening and when such subversive thinking surfaces government can be swift to react.
