In an effort to clear up “misconceptions” that the Fusion Centers of the Department of Homeland Security spy on Americans, Arkansas State Fusion Center Director Richard Davis denied that they do this, instead saying that they’re only spying on “anti-government” Americans
...
As has been reported, the DHS has released documents listing Ron Paul supporters, libertarians, people who support gun rights, who oppose the Federal Reserve, oppose illegal immigration and oppose abortion as “domestic extremists” and terrorists.
Over the last year, the DHS has purchased nearly 2 billion rounds of mostly hollow point ammunition, more than 2,700 MRAP vehicles designed to withstand mine blasts, 7,000 fully automatic assault rifles and $2 million worth of paper targets depicting average Americans with the label “No More Hesitation.” These purchases have led many to believe that the agency is getting ready to fight Americans, as the DHS only operates domestically. If this is true, then the fact that they’re spying on people with anti-government views means they’re preparing to fight those people.

I’ve deliberately steered clear of social media in every way. My social grouping is right here with you all. It’s only a matter of time before Jim and John get a knock at their door asking for the names of every FReeper. I think that’s why when FR is down, I get a knot in my stomach. Someday it’s going to be down for good.
The Federal government is well beyond its reach. Just like several years ago when they publicly castigated Rush, they’re now targeting Americans who are against them. They’ve publicly come out and said we are their target.
I hope my “handler” is enjoying my very boring life. If nothing else it’ll be a war of attrition when they realize that those of us with jobs and families do the same damn thing every single day and every weekend without fail.
I just hope that when my time comes.. at that moment of truth... that I die on my feet in a firefight and not on my knees in a prison camp.
There are always watchers. Some good, some bad. And someone always watches the watchers.
Nothing new.
This summer SHTF. I can’t remember (should have bookmarked) the article about the DHS stated they expected “trouble” this summer.
Something to do with the high rise of gasoline and some other cr@p. They’ve got their plan. They’re just waiting it out.
Do I get bonus watching for hitting all 6? Wait, I only support Ron Paul on about 85% of the issues. On the others, he's nuts, so maybe I'll get a little bit of a pass.
Wait a sec. Ron Paul supports open borders. So, if you want open borders OR oppose illegal immigration, you're a domestic terrorist? All wrapped up in a nice little package there. When do we admit that our government is the enemy of a free people? Guess that will move me up the watch list.
One of my bumper stickers says:
Socialism has 2 classes, a ruling class and a slave class
Another asks:
Did George Orwell get anything wrong besides the date?
DHS did NOT buy MRAP's.
That Internet hoax, started by Drudge, was debunked HERE.
Lol, even Jesus does not know the date!
Of His Second Coming, that is.
Geez, I wonder how many lists I am on...
Perhaps I should take another look at Ron Paul and at today's libertarian views - those are my only gaps. Otherwise, I support our unlimited God-given and constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms, I oppose the federal reserve's reckless policies, I oppose criminal actions including illegally entering our country, and I oppose murdering innocent unborn children. I didn't quite sweep the category, but I'll reconsider those first two points since they offend the right people.
I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

That bunch hates normal people. No surprise that they would be suspicious of normal people.
I believe some other FReepers have a better idea on when it all starts... after the 2014 mid-terms.
The Communists would be overplaying their hand right now if they fired up the masses over this summer. They’d see substantial losses at the polls, as if that matters, and Obama’s support would crater.
No, they’re going to wait just a little while longer. With Obamacare swinging into action in January, they’re going to piss off a substantial portion of the working class.
By the summer of 2014, massive civil unrest will be the watchword across most major cities with dictatorial mayors like Bloomberg casting martial law dictates across the board.
By the elections, Obama will have full control of the election process, will be able to stuff the ballot box by fraud, and once the Democrats own majorities in all houses, they’ll pass every law and mandate they want to without so much as a peep. It’ll all be in the name of “the People.” It’s what the People want, don’tcha know?
DHS will have every last box of ammo shuttled away in warehouses, and Americans who are overt Constitutionalists will be corralled, ridiculed, mocked, and eventually either killed or arrested for ‘sedition,’ or some such thing.
I blocked Examiner from my browser using the HOSTS file. I could no longer endure the TWO blaring advertisement movies, and the additional pop-below window.
Snipes, of course. This keyboard and this shoulder drives me up the wall. Climbing lefthandedly.
Never mind MRAP designation. Is it functionally similar?
As history teaches us, they have a bad habit of doing just so. I believe it is due to their arrogance.
When did FR become home to inaccuracy regarding military equipment?
