The FN 5.7 cartridge has developed a real following among the cartel types along the Mexican border. That alone could account for an ammo shortage (though the drug gangs are also getting their hands on the military-spec ammo that we aren't allowed to purchase).
I don’t think they are prophetic or have been given a script of events. You cannot keep secrets of a magnitude of this size.
But my prediction is this, many morons especially the inner city populations are convinced something will happen just before Christmas as per the 2012 conspiracy theories and they will riot, smash windows, rob liquor stores like there will be no tomorrow.
And thats the words, “Like there will be no Tomorrow”
This is one officer who won’t.
Of course, I am sceptical of the government, and I am convinced that the federal government is creeping toward federalizing all police under the guise of dealing with “unusual occurrences”. Look up NIMS, LE agencies are mandated to participate in it. This was created after 9/11 and Katrina. Agencies that don’t participate in federal programs don’t get federal money. That fed grant money buys equipment, enforcement details, extra officers, etc, and woe to administrators that do not avail themselves of it.
We are also seeing the rank and file police officers being trained in urban infantry tactics under the banner of fighting terrorism. That definition is a little nebulous of late and who will have the stronger propaganda machine, the average citizen or the government?
I am afraid many of my colleagues are content to work, then go home and watch the ballgame without ever considering what is going on around the world. Some, but not all. Some are VERY aware and want nothing to do with any gun grabs, roundups, or anything of the like.
When the fedgov stretches out it’s hand, saying that it will take care of me and my family if I will get on the team, I am fully capable of telling them “no” and throwing my badge on the desk.
“I do have faith in those currently serving that they will not do that.”
Most 18-22 year olds have no moral compass or any idea the difference between right and wrong. We have an entire generation without any recognizable parental discipline having been applied. They’ll do it.
Many 25-35 year olds are the Gen X/Y. They are about as screwed up as any. They are angry, arrogant, and ignorant of this nations history. They dont see this as the land of opportunity but the land that was created by oppression. They do not value its founding principles. They’ll do it.
More than half of the younger population has been brainwashed in public schools, media, and the Internet to be extreme left-wing liberals and to hate Christians, conservatives, and most older people they deem at fault. They’ll do it.
Many would question their orders and not fully understand if what they are being asked to do is wrong or what to do about their doubt of the lawfulness of those orders, but liberals are heavy handed and would squash any dissent quickly and brutally as they usually do. They’ll do it.
The military has been recruiting heavily for foreigners, many are illegal aliens. They’ll do it.
The military recruits heavily from inner cities, tapping the anger of racism. They’ll do it.
The military appeases liberals through creating Wiccan Churches and creating all female units. They’ll do it.
The military recruits from the homosexual communities. They’ll do it.
The military has been promoting via Affirmative Action and has many in higher ranks undeserving but loyal to those they know promoted them. They’ll do it.
All 3 & 4 star Generals are political appointments (Most people dont know that), although some might resign, they’ll do it.
The political and military plans are for UN cooperation in times of civil unrest. They’ll do it.
They wont ask the military to attack an American; theyll call you a Domestic Terrorist first. They’ll do it.
This isnt your or your parents military anymore. There are many in the military that are patriotic Americans, but many are not and that has been by design.
“NIMS”
Yep, without question, NIMS was the federal government’s way of controlling county Sheriff’s departments, all of them. The feds made the law such that failure to follow NIMS places the “offending” government at risk of liability and loss of federal monies. Since the feds take in half of all monies collected by taxation, that results in approximately half of all funding sources.
NIMS also includes every government function, including the school systems.
NIMS mandates ALL local government functions, including those school systems, fire departments, police, Sheriff, DOT, etc. respond to the “authority” of the federal government. The mantra is “No more Katrina’s!”
Yes they have look up the Bonus army or bonus march of 1932 .
What is NIMS ? kindly give a clue as to where to look for more info.
Pow for later read ...................................... FRegards
A local cop told me about certain “tags” that are put in all LE bulletins to direct them to fed attention. One, I think, was SAR. Not search and rescue. It is all being tied into one net. But....intel flows both ways.
NIMS: National Incident Management System.
Very well could be tagged, but I also think the feds know of all LEO sources and scan everything. Hell, I may not be important to anyone but I have no doubt anything and everything I post or email is scanned for at least interesting content.
But it’s an entirely different level between a small group the government has labeled rogue and the entire population of the United States.
I can agree that military personnel might be willing to take out, on orders, a small group that has been labeled a threat, but I do not believe that the military would do that with the whole US population.
But we will see.
“but I do not believe that the military would do that with the whole US population.”
Of course not, and I don’t believe anyone would ever give such as order. I do believe they’ll be given local orders, lots and lots of them, to have the same affect.
Neither would I.
