This is beyond disturbing. I have to wonder when I will find the SWAT team knocking down my door?

Prepper’s Ping!

Only if they know you have accumulated such. Some things can happen at a slow pace.

I have often found it rather strange that when we became a nation and threw of the yoke of bondage and were admonished to do so with any oppressive government the first thing the new nation USA did was draft anti sedation laws to protect it's self from those who thought that the government could one day become oppressive against the people.

ATTENTION PREPPERS - Having More Than 7 Days Of Food Makes You A Suspected Terrorist

I read the article through twice.

There were several things in it that were not quite accurate as I understand it however I would need to research more. It is always possible for me to be wrong. :)

However I do not see anything in the article that supports the title. Could someone please be so kind as to highlight the sentences in question?

[Free Vulcan]

Even more ironic, FEMA itself writes manuals on preparing for catastrophic events. So you could be considered a terrorist by the govt by following advice given...by the govt.

It’s kafkaesque.

[Secret Agent Man]

What is so moronic about this is that everyone 100 years ago would be a ‘terrorist’ because almost everyone had pantries and plenty of stores of food for weeks.

It’s assinine.

Since this is obviously designed to turn normal innocent people into ‘terrorists’ because there is no evidence they are, the govt still has to have a way to get rid of them.

“...we could see American citizens being sent to Guantanamo Bay.”

Not to appear flippant, but many abiding in OBAMAVILLES(tent cities and car interiors)because of this Marxist’s policies, might welcome the warm retreat that is Guantanamo, until this bastard is kicked out the back door in 2012 and the White House fumigated.

“...to thwart embryonic international terrorism.”

All this, and yet, NO ONE seems to give a good damn about the Islamist terrorists cells across the country.

During the Civil War the right of habeas corpus was suspended. Newspapers were closed down. Fortunately, these rights were restored after the war.

---

The suspension of habeas corpus is in the Constitution...and so many other “rights” enumirated in the Constitution were suspended during WWII by some democrat president. The die was cast a long time ago. And missing fingers refers to a telltale signs of a producer of alternate explosives that are not used in any other manner than by people of intended harm to others.

***Having More Than 7 Days Of Food Makes You A Suspected Terrorist***

As a child, my Brother-in-law saw this in action during WWII. His family operated a ranch in West Texas and put up their own food for themselves and the hired hands.

One day the LAW swept down and confiscated every bit of food because someone had dropped a dime on them, claiming they were “food hoarding”.

How did they survive? They had another stocked cellar hidden way out in the hills that only the family knew about.

[Sherman Logan]

Possibly a nit, but this doesn’t sound like Abe, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”

The thought is exactly his, but I doubt the words are.

[buffaloguy]

I hope this does not pass. It is not Constitutional.

As far as the 7 days of supplies: this is beginning to sound like the start of the Ukrainian Famine. Not a good sign.

And quite frankly, the numbers of seditious families would be in the 10 of millions.

I wondered how long this would take,
when the “prepping” movement has gained so much steam these days.

They, the elitists, DON’T WANT YOU TO BE SELF-SUFFICIENT.
They want you dependent and controllable.

To paraphrase Ernest Hollings,
“Dere’s too much preppin’ goin’ on out dere...”

[Lurker]

And people here call Ron Paul a nut. Pathetic.

[Hugin]

The wrong Paul is running for president.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I guess that makes shopping at Costo a terrorist act.

[exhaustedmomma]

Ummm, I assume this means Mormons, too. Don’t they prep in over-drive? Maybe that’s why they all want Romney so bad. just saying... what if he did make POTUS. Theoretically speaking, if he brought his preps to the WH would they get him too? Would he go after his preppping church? Oh how tangled this web could get...

[ScottinVA]

So... let me guess.. if you’re planning a huge party for 20+ people that’s going to require a large amount of food items, you’ll come under suspicion of “hoarding?”

[PROTESTBYPROXY]

Do it like me. I have for cows on the hoof! 17 chickens, and plenty of garden space!
