Preppers’ PING!
From the article, it sounds like the government now considers devoted “ham” radio operators as likely criminals.
Or.....one could get involved is some of these groups. Believe it or not they’re groups like CERT, Fire Corps, and yes the dreaded Neighborhood Watch. If some idiot Fed shows up barking orders you’ll be in position to tell them to go get stuffed. Or, take more direct steps should they become necessary and you’re willing.
If nothing else you get some snappy official looking credentials which just might come in real handy someday.
Just saying....
Thanks for the ping. I know these three types you describe, and I think I understand them. And you are correct, we do have them here. We also have them as neighbors and friends.
Prepping is in many ways a personal thing, and we must keep it ‘personal’. This is truly a case where ‘Loose Lips Sink Ships’. The best defense is s-i-l-e-n-c-e!
Someone on another thread suggested that when there are free food lines, we need to be in those lines. Our absence could easily mark us as not needing anything...as being already prepared.
And when Janet’s goons come to search your place, have your major stores well stashed so as not to be found, and maybe have a few things where they can find them so that they quit looking.
I know you all have your own thoughts, either parallel or complementary to these thoughts. Let’s share ‘em.
One good thing about living in the hood is they don’t trust cops, local or federal, so there won’t be these kind of neighbors turning you in types.
