Video Proof: Feds Post Letters Identifying Preppers As Potential Terrorists: “Individuals or groups
SHTF Plan ^ | 7/31/15 | Mac Slavo

Posted on 07/31/2015 6:14:26 PM PDT by Kartographer

In 2011 Rand Paul stood on the floor of Congress and delivered a stark warning to Americans. To criticisms of sensationalism and embellishment, Paul noted that Federal laws on the books characterize those who have guns, seven days worth of food or ammunition in their homes as potential terrorists.

Know good and well that some day there could be a government in power that is shipping its citizens off for disagreements… Someone who has guns, someone who has ammunition that is weatherproofed, someone who has more than seven days of food in their house can be considered a potential terrorist.

If you are suspected by these activities do you want the government to have the ability to send you to Guantanamo Bay for indefinite detention?

The flash point for gunpowder is something north of 350 degrees and the hottest car on the hottest day is internally 180 degrees or lower. Or something close to that.

Takeaway: ammo is safe to store in hot cars.

Regarding EMP:

Just leave the batteries out and any flashlights should be fine.

This is not necessarily so if we are hit by an EMP. Some (most?) LED flashlights will have their electronics burned out by an EMP. Incandescent bulbs are much less vulnerable.

Since LED flashlights give the most light and use the least power, you might want to protect a couple of them.

Nothing to act as a conduit. You acan if you are worry easily store them in a ground metal cabinet inside a anti-static bag. The main and primary danager is not cars and flash lights, it is loss and distruction of the power grid. That is serious enough by itself and and all of damage will be spotty and minor at worse. Oh and one other thing we can expect a large number of electrical fires that was shown during the Carrington Event and the telegraph offices burned down.

EMP needs something to act as a channel to travel through the miles and miles of power lines and just such a conduit so that what makes the power grid vulnerable as well as anything hook to it. Other things not so much. One thought is things not on and/or not attached to the grid would not suffer serious damage.

That's what happened with the Carrington event, and will most likely happen again the next time the sun acts up in this way.

HOWEVER:

An EMP caused by a nuke optimized to create an EMP and set off at high altitude would cause a much wider range of EMP effects. A Faraday cage would provide protection, but simply disconnecting from the electrical grid would not be enough.

An excellent web site with outstanding information about EMP is: http://www.futurescience.com/emp.html

Did the Wise Virgins share their oil with the Unwise Virgins in the new Testament Parable?

I agree to be on the safe side.

I have grown particularly pleased with the ThruNite T10S LED flashlight.

I use it for every day carry (EDC) and found the case it comes in very easy to modify for protection. A pack of Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batteries from Sam's and you are good to go for months.

The ThruNite is one of the most efficient flashlights I have found. It also comes with a small white coned shape diffuser for use as a small task lamp.

Thanks for the info, gentlemen. And, would you cycle out that ammo and use for practice, say every year, and restock with fresh? Just cycle out the dessicant?

You could always teach the jihadists to play pinochle, I suppose.

In all seriousness, however, the Feds should do away with that law, since it's classification of potential terrorists is obviously too broad.

Not so fast. Your newer LED flashlights generally do have a tiny circuit board in them. This is a case where it might make sense to keep a few old school halogen Mag Lites around.

“Anyone I disagree with and who has a political ideology contrary to mine is clearly a potential terrorist.”

You can probably count on one hand those in DC who are not potential terrorists.

Right. That’s why I’m asking the questions. There doesn’t seem to be reliable info on what will and won’t be affected. It made sense to me to stock items that for sure wouldn’t be. But, I wasn’t positive about even just regular old school flashlights. I had gone ahead and stocked some green glow sticks, but an actual light would be more useful if you know it can be relied upon to work.

What about the items like the walkietalkies? They have to be plugged in to have a charge son them so they work when you need them. Bu5, if an EMP is going to take them out because they’re connected to the power grid is there an alternative?

Just some things I’ve been pondering.

Yes cycle it out. Now someone will soon come along and tell you about how they recycle desiccant packs by placing the in a oven on low heat. I don’t and don’t know much about it, but someone else on the thread might.

You’re right. The entire state of Utah. The Mormons keep at least 6 months worth of food, don’t they? Or is it a year’s worth?

Good morning.

Paul noted that Federal laws on the books characterize those who have guns, seven days worth of food or ammunition in their homes as potential terrorists.

If you live in FL during hurricane season, you better have more than seven days of food, water and ammo.

Then again, I can barter with my ammo because all of my firearms were lost in a boating accident in the Gulf.

I'm not sure either but unless you have access to a well it all comes down to water eventually.

The Mormon homes I have visited keep seven years worth of food and stuff.
