When I consider some of the FReepers that pop up on the preppers threads there are more that a few FReepers would agree with the government.

So what if you only have seven days of food?

I have only what I need for my family. Nothing more.

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

Potential terrorists? Is there a word for the level above this status? Most of my relatives have that blown away many times over.

I don’t consider myself a prepper but we always keep at least 3 weeks food around. By the end of the second week we might get sick of it but we got it. (Rural life)

We have always done that and the gov’t even recommends it.

Waterproofed ammo? Isn’t that what ammo cans are for?

It seems to me that one of the government agencies was urging the public to be prepared for emergencies like tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. That we should have several days food and water stored. Seems we are damned if we do and damned if we don’t.

OMG! We have been potential terrorists since the 1920s! You always kept food on hand in case of snow storms and other emergencies on the High Plains! It carried over to us kids!

The “ I’m ot going to prep, I’m just going to take what others have” or the “it’s your duty as a Christian to share all your preps with everyone who needs them”?

I was reading through your PDF the other night, and maybe I missed it, I had asked you previously about your thoughts on items for a couple day supplied backpack to keep in our autos, prior to knowing about the PDF. Does the PDF address somewhere how you would modify your backpack items for EMP attack? For example, some flashlights would not work, etc.

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

As with all things liberal, it all depends upon the meaning of the words. In this case what is a “potential terrorist”?

If you observe that a terrorist is a person who uses violence to induce government to change policy, then how does this compare to a person who firmly believes, that it is not only the right but the duty to help throw off a government that has a “long train of abuses and usurpations, then those people are “terrorists.”

It should be quickly noted that that last sentence comes from the text of the basis of US Law, the Declaration of Independence [1], a document which the US government itself protects in a very closely protected case in a special viewing area in the Rotunda of the National Archives Building in Washington, DC.

It used to be a sharp rebuke for someone to ask of someone was “anti-government”. But what if government has slowly become anti-citizen? So, when federal authorities, as official acts, post letters identifying citizens who have sincere concerns about the willingness of government to be able to maintain an orderly and peaceful society, to continue their primary duty as “Guards for their future security”, then who is the “terrorist”?

I am beginning to think that such officials are the terrorists. It is they who seek to coerce us by credible threat of deadly force to change *our* policy of rule of law and a government that is our servant and not our master. It is they who seek to put us into financial slavery by creating near-infinite debt. It is they who intrude into our very homes, even to regulation of how much water our toilets use.

This is coming to a head. We have few peaceful options left. The primary one being an Article V convention of the states to amend and repair the relationship of the government to the states and the people.

It used to be that the primary limit on government was the fact there was only so much money to spend. But in the last 100 years, government has given itself power to create near-infinite amounts of money, mostly in debt it will force our yet-unaborted future generations to service.

In order to limit government, we must limit its money. That must be the first order of business of an Article V convention. We must try this peaceful option before it becomes too easy to attempt non-peaceful ones.

[1] The Declaration of Independence Part of American Law

Professor John Eidsmoe , Professor of Law at Faulkner University School of Law, writes:

“The role of the Declaration of Independence in American law is often misconstrued. Some believe the Declaration is simply a statement of ideas that has no legal force whatsoever today. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Declaration has been repeatedly cited by the U.S. Supreme Court as part of the fundamental law of the United States of America .

“The United States Code Annotated includes the Declaration of Independence under the heading ‘The Organic Laws of the United States of America’ along with the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution, and the Northwest Ordinance. Enabling acts frequently require states to adhere to the principles of the Declaration; in the Enabling Act of June 16, 1906, Congress authorized Oklahoma Territory to take steps to become a state. Section 3 provides that the Oklahoma Constitution ‘shall not be repugnant to the Constitution of the United States and the principles of the Declaration of Independence.’” (Christianity and the Constitution, pp. 360-361)

Well, there goes the Amish and all of the super coupon queens with their stockpiles! Also, every family that belongs to Costco/BJs/Sams Club. Once again bureaucracy loses touch with reality.

To criticisms of sensationalism and embellishment, Paul Revere noted that King George III`s British laws on the books characterize those who have guns, seven days worth of food or ammunition in their homes as potential terrorists against the Crown..

and yet FEMA wants people especially those in Hurricane prone areas, Tornado prone areas, and Earthquake prone areas to have at least 7 days worth of food on hand.

It makes you feel like your taking crazy pills.
