This is a strange development in a country that won't allow you to remove stone fences on your homestead to preserve the heritage of the farm ground. Yet they will allow mining waste to drain from a peninsula into a beautiful freshwater lake. I think the odds of them succeeding in this current political climate is diminished.
Praying that the Swedish Homestead endures for generations...
Destroy beautiful scenery and environment to build batteries for environmentally friendly cars ....... such double standards
"Jahdereh 15" Exactly, but Sweden has no coal power plant (only nuclear, wind and water), but when we have too little electricity, we buy from countries like Germany that have coal power plants.
No, in Sweden they burn their garbage to make electricity, they even offered the US free plans on how to make them but the oil companies own all of America so the US told Sweden to fuck off. LOL
Yes, they have been doing it since 1904 so they have perfected the process to the point where their air scrubbers filter out 99% of the pollution caused by burning garbage. It was those scrubbers that they were providing the construction plans for. Only 1% of their garbage ends up in landfills, it is the stuff that they can't burn or recycle. Lots of other countries have taken them up on their offer and are now burning their garbage too.
sweden.se/nature/the-swedish-recycling-revolution/
If the US was not so corrupt and did not let despicable oil barons make all the laws in this country, we could have solved our garbage AND energy problems long ago.
And if the libtards and their environazi friends didn't have so much influence, we would have cheaper energy, and have long since been energy independant. And if our government didn't cave in to union bullies or make policies that screwed over domestic businesses we'd have jobs and no trade deficit. See what I did there? There's plenty of blame to go around- no need to blame it on the favored whipping boy (low hanging fruit) of the day...
pyroman6000 True enough, BUT!, if there weren't, enviro nazies,, as u say,, and people that gave a dam about the state of or states,, woodlands would have been ravaged, over fishing, animal kills for money etc would be rampant and uncontrolled. Businesses care about one thing,, their billions in profits. How many of trumps kids have done a dam thing to help anyone but their own wallets. Just one example. Nature HAS to be preserved or at least replaced as used. Before there were regulations companies stripped the land of everything they wanted, in the name of progress, supposed cheaper fuels, materials etc. Can u say ethanol. That wasn't a tree hugger invention.
We do have very similar laws in Canada that favours mining companies as opposed to citizens.
A few years ago, in order to gain attention from our politicians, a group of citizens put a mining claim under our Parliament. They proceeded with the claim at the same pace the mining company did on the area where they lived. The mining project did stop but the group of citizens do not want to give up the mining claim, making sure they will keep some pressure if another controversial mining project arise anywhere on our province/country.
Keep up your good work.
Simon Forget interesting as a young Canadian I had no idea.
Simon Forget they should explore for methane. I suspect there's a vast reserve right near the surface.
As a farmer you have only rights to a few inches of top soil … the "riches" underneath belong to the government and oil companies … Much love from Albert, Canada. cat.
This aught to be the standard response. Including the politicians homes.. I hope it catches on..👍
Canada has some of the dirtiest oil production in the world - known as 'tar sands'.
Environmentally disastrous stuff!
My Family and I will pray for you and your family.
Ace Sarmiento pray here let you voice be heard.
Mine too
I presume you mean sitting with your hands together and thinking to yourself!
Fat lot of good that'll do, eh? Bloody religious nutters.
Government interference with people's lives, whether it is in the USA or in Sweden. This is just horrible and I will pray for your situation. Remember that God is good and I know He will help you. Keep the faith Simeon and stay strong.
Ironic that governments the world over are like this? Absolutely not, since they are all controlled by the same entities.
I'm so sorry to hear that Simeon. I will keep your family and your neighbors in my prayers. It sounds like something we call eminent domain here in the states where the government has ultimate control as to what land or property they want to acquire..... and pretty much we have no say. they pay you for your land and take it whether it's a fair market value or not. and I know for you it's not about money it's about your lifestyle your home your family your dreams
Why do you say it's more difficult in the US? My experience has been they do what they please.
So your not allowed to do anything to those rock walls but a corporation can come in and destroy the whole area.
r d funny thing is battery powered cars use more energy to create the batteries and to create the power to charge the batteries than it does to just use gas.
In general you are allowed to modify openings etc so that modern equipment can pass through. But maybe Simeons area is some kind of special protected area, but on the other hand in that case it will be harder for them to get permits to prospect or open a mine.
Well yeah, the point is that the energy can come from other sources than fossil fuels. Energy efficiency isn't as good at the moment. That's not really a claim anyone has made as far as I'm aware?
Per Nilsson do you really think the government and Swedish oligarchs care about rules and regulations. Swedes and Norwegians make an average of less than $20,000 a year while the rulers and corporations make a ton of cash because they don't have to follow the rules.
The Cynic Sweden is not any different to any other country in that regard, so if you don't own the mineral rights the one who does have a right to mine them. But there are a lot of hurdles to get over before that happens. They may or may not have to move, and at the same time LKAB is moving an entire city up north.
And by the way, the median income in Sweden is $32 000
Keep us informed, friends in America will help, pray for you and your loved ones. Thank you for sharing your family and farm with us.
I am so sorry to hear that Simeon.
You live close to a lake, correct? A big one? A case could be made that drilling there is environmentally dangerous and detrimental to human lives, etc. That's the route I would start with - and encourage all your neighbors and anyone around that lake to join in.
Heritage site and clean water conservation, exactly the direction I was thinking.
See my post^^^^^^^
Hope it works... But if the situation of involved politicians are similar to dioxine pollution in fish meat and Norwegian Agriculture officials, nothing would change the mining project.
And you think government and the corporation doesn't know that?
I wish you good luck! Stay strong!
The power of corporations is out of control! Interestingly the biggest land owner here in Latvia, excluding the state, is a Swedish company, but the government here has recently made it much harder for foreign corporations to own land by requesting they learn/speak Latvian. Some say it is protectionist, others say it will be economically retarding on an already poor country still recovering from years of soviet occupation. Good luck Simeon!
Its the government, not the corporations. The govt gives them that power. You hear it, they are getting LICENSED by the govt.
@@HomesteadDNA They're one and the same. Government is a corporation.
Best of luck. I won't go into a rant but suffice to say every Government but especially the Swedish Govt does not care about it's people any more. I will pray for you guys. God bless
And all for the production of electric cars... how ironic.
Joe Stubbernubbensteingenson car that will carry toxic batteries.
actually its for the love of money
They're ruining our Earth but blame farmers and cattle farm animals .
Electric cars are an environmental disaster, but they rely on being 'clean' in towns and cities for their praise! Most are charged by coal or oil powered generation anyway.
@@thetessellater9163 Wind turbines run on petroleum, so you're spot on.
May God continue to bless you. Especially during this uncertain time. I appreciate your work and your lessons !! It does matter !!
Sending Prayers things work out in your favour. Blessings!
I will be praying for you and your family and for everyone there nearby. May God bless you and your family and your neighbors always.
First time i have seen any of your content. May you be blessed with the best outcome for you, the earth and your neighbors. We certainly live in sad times when corporations control the government.
As ever it was?
Wow, that's incredibly unfair. I hope that doesn't come to reality. Prayers, and Much love from California! ♡
I’m so sorry to hear this...
I’ve watched you struggle and grow
since the beginning...
Know that all of you will be in my thoughts
and prayers.
Happy Holidays and Be Blessed...!
I will be praying for you and the pristine land where you farm and live. I am so sorry.
You are in my prayers.
Bernarr Coletta pray here let your voice be heard
Great videos and information. I will put you on my prayer list!!
May you have a day overflowing with the well wishes of many followed by years of peace, love, joy, laughter, respect, good health and deep faith.
Myndigheter vad de skall hålla på, hoppas allt löser sig för er! Ni är en inspiration för oss alla på landsbygden som vill vara lite självförsörjande tack!
Damn son this is our home too. As an avid fan of this channel and feel like I am being violated here as well. To uproot so many people in the name of greed is appalling. To all but spit on all your hard work along with the damage that will be done to the land and surrounding water ways is beyond belief. With all my outrage being put forth, after all, this is how a socialist State is run. I say let us all in the RUclips Swedish Homestead community email bomb what ever department of the Government is in charge of this atrocity. I will email til my fingers bleed. This will shut down there internet and perhaps force them to listen. It works well here in the States. I want to echo Samuel Luria, come to the States. I know that here in New England there are quite a few farms for sale. I would be proud to have you folks as neighbors. There are lots of farms around this country still owned by aging people who want to see their land stay as farm land. The homesteader community well help you find a new start. Do not allow the Swedish Government any more of your tax money. We are praying for you.
I felt upset when they going to install a Wind Farm across from our property , you are in a more devastating situation than i will ever be .
Happened to me too and I have to look at them out of my front window every day!!
we will support you as far as we can! pray for the best !
I'm so sorry to hear it Simeon. Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Will be praying for you and your neighbors and for God to show himself strong on your behalf in how this turns out.
Good luck with this fight. I am about to go out and harvest garlic myself and will think about you and your homestead.
It's pretty awful that they can potentially do this to you. Pretty much our entire mining industry is built around these laws, and especially the historical lands of the sami people have been affected a lot by this process.
I hope the whole thing never comes to pass.
I am so sorry for you. Hopefully things will work out for you all. May god bless you and keep your farm and family safe.
Thank you for sharing your families lives and stories and educational videos over the years. The people that watch want to save and help Nature. You've done your job well. Secondly, thank you for sharing the ugly part of being a farmer, in ANY country. My family and I will pray for you and all farmers all the way in Houston Texas. God Speed brother
Such a travesty ! Homesteaders have so many restrictions, yet big corporations can pass money around and create such destruction all in the name of making batteries for cars that are supposed to help "save" the environment. This should not be allowed. People, children, animals, trees, and a way of life is more important than car batteries. If there is anything we, your subscribers, can do to help stop this from happening, please let us know. Prayers to you and to the other families! Don't give up, keep doing what you are doing and have faith. We are all behind you 100%....... What company is doing this if I may ask? I would like to create a petition and write letters to the company disgust with what they are attempting to do. Find out if you have ANY type of wildlife on the properties, trees, or indigenous flora found ONLY in your area that falls under protection clauses! Recharge Nature....not batteries !!!!!
Electric cars will not 'save' the environment. Check out 'Planet Of The Humans' now back on RUclips, after being taken down.
This is an awful side of electric cars that people probably don't even realize. Do you get any kind of compensation for having to move? I'm in the US and these things happen here. We get compensation for having to move but it's not always what the land is worth. My grandpa lost 1,000's of acres when the government took it for a bombing range. It belonged to his father and he wanted to pass it on to his children. They already had a bombing range comprising several thousand acres. Cities take land for highways, airports, and other developments. We think we are secure when we buy land but unfortunately that's not the case. And the more we have, the higher risk that we are. Good luck to you.
Yes if they still can live there (own it) they get some compensation and the ones wanting to start a mine can buy it forcefully. I don't know of how much the money it would be but can't imagine anyone wanting to forcefully sell their property like this.
Property rights and Usufruct (found that word via wikipedia) has been in the debate in the last year in Sweden.
subwarpspeed Here in the US its inoment domain. The government buys land and pays legal current value plus cost of and structures and trees. Forest trees are worth less then trees used for landscaping. They do this for roads, cities, schools, highways, ect. Companies cant do that. They have to obtain the mineral rights or pay the owner to have access to them by striking a deal. If someone else owns the land, and another owns the mineral rights, They have to pay to have access to the minerals and pay to have land surface rights but are at victim where the land owner wants the road. If you dont agree to give them access, then they will scan or drill close to your land to get guestimate readings of your property. Its a pain, but keeps us protected but from the government. I have friends and farmers who delt with both sides. From oil drilling lost land to highway construction.
Also when a family has land for generations the government will focus taking that spot because they most likely will have what is called alloidial title which gives the owner the same rights as a king on his own land. Most people have lost the right to get alloidial title to their land and don't really own the land they have paid for, even though they think they do.
THE US MILITARY ARE A PARANOID DEGENERATED STUPID INSTITUTION LEAD BY MORONS....THEY DESERVE TO INCINERATE THEMSELVES . THE WORLD IS CORRUPT, THEY PLAY THEYRE STUPID GAMES AND THREAD ON HARDWORKING GOOD PEOPLE...WITH GOOD SOUND INTENTIONS FOR MAKING LIFE, WHILE THOSE SUCKERS IN THE GOVERNMENT EVIL AND IDIOTIC AS THEY ARE, SERVE AS IGNORANT MINIONS FOR SATAN....
Praying for you man. Hope things work out in favor of you and your families.
So sorry to hear about that!! I'll be praying and keep us up to date if there is anything we can do to help! You have friends here and God is faithful!!
It's similar in Canada. To be completely secure you have to own the mineral rights (and maintain them by "exploring" on a regular basis) under the land.
From what I understand they have an obligation to restore the land after they are done, but it's not uncommon for these operations to declare bankruptcy before they do.
In Sweden the companies have to deposit a restoration fund.

LMAO Restoration, what a fuckin joke
Even if they have to restore the land, it won't be the same. They will have destroyed all the good bacteria, fungi, and minerals that helped create the land
Simeon I'm so sorry to hear your news. I live in Minnesota, my wife and I ( over past 20 years) have purchased parcels of land which surround our lake home and surrounding brook that feeds our lake. We amassed 240 acres and entered into a Conservation Easement with the State of MN through the MN Land Trust. We wrote covenants ( in perpetuity) that the land cannot be developed ever. It stays natural and will protect our lake in our small way from development and possible pollution. One caveat to this a few of the parcels did not have the mineral rights in the deed and remained with the railroad company that once owned this property. We have tried our best to mitigate the possibility of what you are going through but it looms for us as well. I hope the Swedish Government will see itself clear into rejecting the license in the end. We are praying for you to that end. Take care my friend
Land trusts sound good but they are part of the strategy of taking people off the land. Millions of acres are being bought by these trusts.
God Bless you, Tim and your family. Imminent Domain and Government, it's a shame. Keep pushing and be positive that things will turn for the better.
Sad to hear that I also had the same problem on my farm but fortunately they didn't find what they were looking for. Good luck I always enjoy your videos.
I live in Canada, another socialist country. When you rely on government to look after you this is what happens. Citizens are renters with no ownership rights. In order to restore your individual rights and freedoms the first thing you have to get through your head is that when you rely on government to provide health, education, welfare, unemployment insurance, baby bonuses, subsidies, pensions etc. you by definition relinquish ownership and control over your life. I come to this conclusion after being a life long Canadian who has observed what has happened around him in his own country.
Christians have traditionally unconditionally given aid to others, governments always have conditions for the same service.
Government is a corporation that we need to stop doing business with. They only want money not compassion.
You mean a dictatorship country
Canada, a socialist country? Give over, such a thing exists nowhere in the world.
Wow.. the powers that be won't leave anyone alone..even in Sweden.. It is a sad world we live in...😢
You have my support! Anything you need. May God bless you.
Wow. So sorry to hear that. Praying for you
From Wikipedia: Sweden
Expropriation. The right of state or municipality to buy property when it is determined to be of "particular public interest", is regulated in Expropriationslagen (1972:719).[16] The government purchases the property at an estimated market value plus a 25% compensation. The law also states that the property owner shall not suffer economic harm because of the expropriation.
Simeon, Are these the rights of Sweden you are concerned with? Do you (your father?) own the mineral rights? The way to know is to read the deed (as we know it in the States, perhaps it is called something else in Sweden), the ownership document received when the farm was purchased. There is much to prove in expropriation, "particular public interest." If the mineral rights are owned by others, that was part of the purchase transaction when you father purchased the farm.
Ronald Geer So true I asked simillar questions of him. Public purpose here is for public uses, school, library, hospital, airport -until special interests/ preferred developers got on board with Redvelopment agencies under games/claims of raising sales tax dollars. Claiming "redevelopment zones" that areas were adopted long ago when no one was paying attention claiming their cites were slums, when they could not legally qualify for such a claim or designation for such.You can fight and win but you / we need much more info than know right now. Thanks for comment to help theur family. Prayers for all.
Ronald Geer there is split title deeds. You owe the top 6 inches and the government owns the mining rights to sell to someone else
So basically, it's kinda like communism ... you can't actually own land. (In this case, only some of the time)
That sounds a lot like communism
In the UK, landowners do not own what lies below their land, such as minerals or metals, bizarrely. It supposedly belongs to the 'Crown', or government.
we need to crop this video to your main points in 60 seconds, and make it go viral. specifically "they are destroying your beautiful property for ELECTRIC CAR BATTERIES". these hippy idiots don't realise that batteries use non renewable elements mined from the earth in places like your homestead. this needs to go viral go open people's minds
UNSILENT ZONE Half of the emissions from a normal car go into the manufacturing. If people really did care all they would have to do is keep their cars for 8+ years and the amount of global car emissions would be reduced to 60%.
Yeah, I just ran into this false belief of electric cars saving the planet on another video. All the electric car hippies were blaming trucks and gasoline for all the world's problems and Tesla electric vehicles were the savior. Well, nothing comes with no pollution or environmental impact.
@@thoughtyness - we actually need to get rid of cars completely!
Very sorry to hear it. Hope you find a way around it.
Thanku for ur videos. I learn n enjoy them. God bless u
This would be heartbreaking.
Even your cows are upset about it!
Yes, I heard them shouting "Noooooooo"
It is now May of 2020, and I’m just seeing this video! I hope your family and all of your neighbors were able to keep your homes and lands! ❤️🙏
powerful video , it just shows what the Swedish government thinks of its people , Simeon, you are the best of people . you and your family that is . We wish you the best !!!!
Sounds a lot like the US government. We learned that even if we own our mineral rights to our land, a drilling (gas/oil) company is still able to force us to allow drilling on our land, if the majority of surrounding neighbors allow drilling on their property (or don't own their mineral rights). I really don't know what families are able to do, but hopefully you have enough neighbors to make a difference. Or, get very lucky and find some endangered species that would be threatened, if drilling were allowed to take place. Best of luck to you all.
I have been a negative for battery power expansion but more for the fact of the disposal of the used toxic residual materials that are produced from the recycling process. Didn't even consider the environmental cost of gaining materials for the initial production of the batteries. Sorry to say big business mostly always gets their way. Unfortunately in our society, money talks, loud and pompous. All supposedly in the name of progress.
Unfortunately we've been sold on battery over combustion engines not considering the consequences of battery production and recycling. Any time u question the devastation of battery recycling, check out the videos of Chinese recycling fields with waste from laptop and other battery powered items,,, can we say cell phones. No resource is safe. Look at fracking. Maybe not in our lifetime,, but think about your grandkids.
Peter Ford you are right, anen
Latest batteries can be recycled 100%! The need is for new batteries and some countries are afraid they miss out on this new 'goldmine'. There is enough of the stuff available for the next million years it is only not located in large quantities in the western world. So every little bit they can get to ride this wave of relative high prices it will be very valuable. In time there will be enough resources available also from recycled batteries that wil drive the price down and thus the profit for mining it will be very small or even impossible. This is a transitional time and those times are the most difficult. The world was also turned upside down when electric cars lost to the fossil fuel cars in the 1900's. Then everyone started digging for oil.
So sorry to hear this news, I will be praying for your family and all the other homes,
Hang in there, Simeon!! Prayers!
wish all off you luck on this matter. The government in the USA tried to tell me I could not use my well in a dropout well I did anyway. That is why I dislike Government medal ling
old time engineer US government cant tell you to do anything in your land. However they can take it for reasons such as to better the lives of others. Meaning roads, highways, schools, prisons, ect.
Wow! That's so horrible!
I hope everything will work out for you and your family.
This is why you always make certain that you
own the mineral and water rights to your property
before you purchase it...!
Not always easy or even possible in many parts.
So in order to make the batteries for electric cars they need to cut down trees and drill into the ground, while forcing farmers off their land. Sounds counterproductive don't you think?
nope, on the whole it's better.
you shouldn't be so obsessed with basically drawing energy purely from grow plants that convert sunlight into electricity and store it internally so we can withdraw it in pure harmony with nature that you've let the perfect become the enemy of the good.
remember after all that 30 years before that the homestead was threatened by drilling for oil and only by pure chance was it was 2.8 grams and not 3.1.
Don't trust some fuck with a Hebrew name
@@sparkzbarca - Electric cars are an environmental disaster, all that mining, smelting, refining, processing, manufacturing, etc is horrendously dirty. Then they mostly get charged by fossil-fuel generation. Don't let Musk con you into thinking they're 'green' - they're not at all.
@@thetessellater9163 batteries are super duper recyclable and the material itself has become better for the environment using less of the worst stuff.
As for fuel.
Again more and more renewables are coming online every day.
Some electrics are only a little better than regular cars.
But lots in say California are powered by wind, solar or at least natural gas which is better than alternatives
@@sparkzbarca Displaced emissions, not reduction.
Praying for your family, and community.
May God Bless you and your neighbors. .. and protect you. ..and guide you! I will pray for you!
"They tore down paradise and put up a parking lot". I don't necessarily consider this a government threat so much as a corporate threat. On the other hand, Government is going to allow them to do it if it happens. Hope you can fight this well. You and your neighbors should start thinking now about demands for restitution to cover the costs of relocating if this operations begin and make the place uninhabitable and unprofitable for your operations and have something ready to present immediately when necessary. Make detailed list and costs. If this happens the companies will already be set to offer something and it won't be enough, I guarantee it. You can catch them off guard if you have a well thought plan immediately.
Exactly. Fighting the system might be noble but it will probably destroy your life for a very long time. It is not worth it. Get compensation so that a clean start somewhere else is possible PLUS a good amount for the risks that you will have.
Yes sir! I'm all about fighting the system but always have your exit plan ready and know when it is time to bail. In some cases one has no choice but to fight to the bitter end though. Following one case now where the State government is trying to regulate certain types out of business. Several gave up but one guy keeps fighting and he's right to do so in this case.
The danger is not government, it is corporate interest controlling government.
People should stop thinking that governments are there to look after the people - they're not, they only want money and growth and wealth, and are prepared to go to any lengths to achieve it. The people sometimes get in the way, but they always win in the end. Our current government in the UK is handing out public cash to anyone who supports Brexit or is a friend of the Prime Minister or his close allies, in the hope they will receive some big donations to the current ruling Conservative Party.
That's horrible!
Will keep you and your family in my prayers
Prayers to you and your family 🙏🙏
My family were "forest finns" .... we left Persberg in the 1880's
They are trying to do the same thing in South Dakota. They want to do seismic testing right next to an old army depot dump site. They have no idea what is still buried there in the way of poisons but they still think it is OK. Money talks and good sense goes out the window. They should not be allowed to do anything that close to the lake anyway.
It is in southwestern SD, in Edgemont. They are also wanting to mine uranium which could contaminate all the aquifers, as they are all interconnected.
Stay strong, Simeon. You are in our thoughts. Here in America we have seen the disastrous effects of corporations working closely with our government against the interests of people and the environment. Let us know what you need and we will be there.
So sad! Prayers for you and your neighbors!
I thought the people were the government and the elected offical were your employes and they are to ask you not tell you what you will do
Bill S. , the ultimate bottom line is that there is no form of government in any country that is good for the " people ". Every form of government will always function for the betterment of and survival of itself ! The "people " be damned !
Not under socialism!
Come to the UNITED STATES!!!! We WANT your kind of people here!!!!! And those who don't...don't count.
No don't come to the US. Here is worse. Here we have people who put man babies in the top office. Here we have all the extremes. The corporations control everything with their money.
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer...
US is just as bad, don't kid yourself.
Jesus Christ!!! I said what I meant! The right kind of Americans want homesteaders. Usurpers who aren't true Americans, don't want homesteading. What did you THINK I meant?
(My Basque Grandfather had his homestead cabin in Avon, Montana dismantled by agents of the Federal government while he was off fighting in WWI...)
Debbie Gallett - I'm NOT SAYING things are better here!!!! Who said anything about kidding myself?!? We DO, however, have a very different and unique tradition, of which there are still MANY of us who are adherents; Those of us who have fought for the uniqueness of the American Experiment!!! Are we not allowed to hold on to hope anymore?????? Again - I NEVER SAID it was better here!!! It's just that there are at least a sizable amount of people who know what it's meant to be!!!
Prayers have been sent my friend
First, I'm glad to see you're back. I've missed you and the family. In the US there are laws about 'eminent domain' where the government can 'take' you land if it is in the 'greater public interest.' It is much harder for a private, for-profit company to get the permission to 'take' your land. If this is true, I must say that I am very disappointed in the Swedish government system in this situation. I find it hard to think that the Allemansrätt would not apply here in some fashion. You situation seems to be absolutely counter to that principle. I have been embroiled in a six year process of dealing with land use laws here in Oregon and I know exactly how it feels when you have the Sword of Damocles hanging over you. My heart and prayers go out to you. You have my support.
I had to listen this video 2 times just to be sure my English is good, I couldn't believe my ears for the first time. Unfortunately my listening was good, the truth was bad. I would never say, Sweden that is evaluated as the most democratic country of the world can happen somethink like "expropriation" of privat land. Of course mining permit is not official expropriation, but for farmers deforestation and destroying of meadows is a bankrupt. HOW CAN IT HAPPEN ON PRIVAT LAND??? Why not only on state land? Democracy ranking organization from Austria should totally change its system of ranking.
Simeon, please create electronic voting for changing of the law, for total prohibition of mining permition on privat land without agreement of the owner. I believe all your viewers will sign it. People all round the world should join and fight together agains governments that allows destroying sustainable values
Good luck with that! Governments want money to spend, it gives the politicians of the day great credibility. They are all in it together, and you will not get anywhere.
that sucks dude it's just like you're living in the United States
phxtonash sorta but not really. Government can old take land to better the lives of its people meaning schools, prisons, riads, highways, ect. Thing is they have to pay current land value plus lost of trees. Companies cant do that.
Snipe Stud00 what about that pipeline going through the Standing Rock that was a company
yes but Standing rock is federal land, all indian land is actually federal land set aside for indian use like national parks or animal refuges etc.
If the indians actually had the property deeded to them, they could refuse to allow the pipeline.
The issue is the federal government at bottom decides what to do with federal lands.
Wishing you and your family the best.
SO SORRY FOR THIS NEWS. IN MY PRAYERS SIMEON.
get some environmentalists on your side and maybe some native Indians they have experience in fighting those big organizations and having success.
Only in native America, surely.
Capitalist state in a nutshell... Take from the small, give to big business.
What you described is Marxism, the collusion of business and state. Capitalism is you produce you eat, whereas socialism is you produce, but somebody else eats.
Nope, i described the historical role of the state in a capitalist society. Aiding the economic ruling class by disposessing the small producers (forcing them into the working class) and making the commons avaiable for private corporate exploitation.
You produce you eat equals substance farming not accumulation of capital.
Capitalism or rather the process of accumulating capital is defined by somebody owning means of production and a mass of people owning nothing, not even land to grow food on. The ones without productive property have to sell their work to the ones who owns, and they will sell their work for less than it is worth - thus profit is generated and capital is accumulated. A society based on these particular social relations between owners and workers, within the sphere of production can be defined as being capitalist.
Actually, it is a creeping totalitarian state. Corporate money fueling a Fascist/Socialist state. As Tony Blair once excitedly proclaimed, Britain had developed a ‘Third Way”-the perfect blend of corporate and communist/socialist control.
Simeone, I am so so sorry to hear about this travesty. Get together with all the believers you know and have a big prayer meeting, all of you pray together that this will not happen.
Thanks for telling us what's going on.
Prayers for you and your family.
The wonderful utopia of socialist Sweden. Sweden is always used as the example of choice when the virtues of socialism are extolled. Of course it still boils down to money. If a mining company will pay the government enough, you will be pushed out of the way at the barrel of a gun. Of course here in the US the same thing can happen for the same reason, money.
Sweden is not socialist and never has been. You're right about government overreach and corporate power though.
Exactly. The same government / corporate corruption exists here in the USA, so this has nothing to do with socialism. Individual rights are always bulldozed for corporate profit using the politicians they bought. This is government corruption, period. Why we need to get money out of politics and make taking kick backs and "donations" from politicians a serious crime.
TheodorEriksson sweden is not socialists they are communist!! As a person you don't have any rights.
There are sure a lot of people that think it's socialist and point to it as an example of the benefits of socialist programs. I only know what I've been told. According to the way Simeon stated it though, the government can just come along and say "get off YOUR property because WE'RE going to let this corporation dig it up" without them having anything to say about it. Here in the US, they still have to win in court first. The standards have changed though. They used to only be able to take your property for public projects like a bridge or a school. Now they can use comparative values of usage, which I think is quite arbitrary. They can take it if they determine your property if they determine it will be more valuable (probably for tax purposes) as part of a mall parking lot than as your shoe repair shop.
Flintlock Homestead Sweden is like North Korea with the differens that u think that u are free here.
As others already said: Contact Greenpeace, Naturskyddsföreningen and other organisations. They can hopefully help you. Lycka till!
Not sure if things have changed for you, but your in my prayers. God Bless!
my family will pray for yours and your neighbors. good luck and God bless.
I am on your side regarding this matter. However !!! The government has to care about the whole country and all its people. The financial gain from this, will benefit many families, and provide many jobs for other families. It is unfortunate that your family and neighbouring families have to be the ones uprooted. I do have a question. In Sweden, do you own the mineral rights on your land, or will you recieve royalties from the extracted minerals ? And secondly, do you even own the land ?
Stealing land and giving it someone else isn't what is government is supposed to be. Security and property rights should be the only powers the government has. If we follow your logic, then all the government has to do is let in many foreigners. The more people the more power the government gets. That is not right. If they bought the land without mineral or water rights, then they are in a jam for sure. However, if they owned the land, then it should be up to the company to purchase the land if it is available for sale. In America, companies also have to have proper zoning. Zoning is another layer of protection of peoples' land. In addition for the testing, stipulations and qc should be imbedded into the permit to repair the land when they are done. Additionally, you should be compensated for the use of your land. In end, businesses and governments colluding to take property rights away, sounds more like a progressive Marxism rather than conservative capitalism.
airguns freedom700 SSP good question about mineral rights, if so you should be compensated for that also water are you on well water.get a lawyer this isn't just land it's cultural, family history.find every which way to make them pay! My prayers are with you swedish homestead
Philippians 4:8-13
God bless you and your family!
Sorry to hear about your plight, hope they rehabilitate the land well
It is God who holds the future.
The enemy's number one ploy with Christians is to try to take away our joy and our hope. But as you and your family know Simeon, we have an eternal promise from God - "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11. We shall all pray without ceasing for you, your family and your neighbors. Remember... " You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you." Chronicles 20:17a. Praise the Lord for his victory is sure! God bless you all.
CiaoBella amen

Praying very hard that things have turned out OK (your post was a year ago), and that you and your family are ok.
Hi Simeon, that's bad news, very sorry to hear it. Obviously when the time comes and you need practical help I'll will if I can. Until then I'll help in what is really the best way.
We are disturbed to hear this Simeon. My family will pray for you, your family, and your neighbors. I love that you have faith and that that you understand God will provide.
