I hope you’re right. They already have lists of who they need to visit so I pray they are not efficient.

I have followed Va since this started so I know what the govn. has done.

Who sits at home and waits for a knock at the door? That might work a few times, but word will get around, and that tank is gonna get very, very hot.

The Jews didn't have firearms like Americans do.

And what will the government do with a couple of hundred dollars worth of food that they just spent $10,000 confiscating? Fielding troops isn't cheap.

Governments aren't as effective as you seem to think they are. In fact, they are pretty screwed up. That's why they contract out anything complicated.

I would presume little or sparing use of the EBT card would be a sure fire indicator of hoarding.

“The police will surround your house, give you 10 minutes to surrender your food, and then use a tank to level your house if you don’t give up. How long will people resist ?
They will resist like the Jews did. A few will try, they all die and are hung from lamp posts as a warning to others.”

In a genuine meltdown, there won’t be any police or tanks and Jews had no weapons. Unless you tell them, no one will know whether you have food or not. Danger will come from people like you who have no preps. Too bad you’re not very smart.

And this situation is a perfect example of why the communists want to take away the guns from the public. Which is easier to control, a city such as Chicago or several rural counties. The Chicago people have no guns (and the gang bangers will be recruited by the police) and it will be little more than sheep herding.

I can not remember the last time a tyranical govt. fell via armed resistance from the people.

In every case of a successful overthrow, the people resist, the police committ atrocities, eventually large numbers of police can no longer look at themselves in the mirror and then the govt. falls.

In fact, the govt. falls only when the govt. decides it is not worth it anymore.

Armed resistance is futile. If you want to forcibly overthrow the govt. the only way is via massive martyrdom by thousands or maybe millions of innocents.

The govt. falls when an innocent stands in front of the tank, and the guy in the tank refuses to shoot because his conscience won’t let him. But I can’t think of a case recently where armed resistance succeeded.

If you look healthy and well fed, you have food.

It is like if you live in a mansion and have Mercedes parked out front, they will know.

[Marcella]

“If you look healthy and well fed, you have food.
It is like if you live in a mansion and have Mercedes parked out front, they will know.”

Real preppers already know that and what to do about it. It’s obvious, you don’t know much about preppers. You don’t know jack about preppers.

The police are the people, too. Nicolae Ceaușescu found out the hard way.

I would cosider EBT Card in that case as being barter. ;-)

[DuncanWaring]

After the first few, people with gardens will learn not to be home when the harvesters come-a-calling.

And eventually those in the tank will need to exit said tank...

[Shadowstrike]

ah, but you’re assuming that those who hear the “problem” will not be telling their friends and family or, in some cases, coming at the “overwhelmers” from behind.

[Kartographer]

If I remember my history we are living in a country created by armed resistance!

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

I thought it was Spaghetti Day...o wait Wednesday is Tuesday’s Spaghetti Day =)

[Shadowstrike]

you really don’t believe in the American Spirit do you?

We are not the Jews who thought it wouldn’t get that bad. It is getting that bad, and will get worse.

Some will die, more than a few, but if you think for one damn minute that seeing people hanging from a lamp post as as example to others will destroy peoples moral, you are sadly mistaken.

People are fuming right now, and madness is coming on slowly. I cannot speak for the other parts of the Country, but I know what my part,the South, will do, and we’ll do it with a Rebel Yell that hasn’t been heard since the Civil War, and we will not be stopped.

and don’t forget Bread. I like to toast my bread and spread some Mustard and then pour some Tuna on the Bread and there you have your toasted sandwich.

“After the first few teams get ambushed, it’s going to be difficult to find volunteers for the teams.”

You won’t need to ambush the teams. Even thugs have families; brothers, sisters, kids, parents. As LEO families are targeted, the LEOs will need to spend more time at home.
