Pentagon resources and U.S. troops may be used if needed to quell protests and bank runs during an economic crisis, the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Institute reported.

"Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security," the War College study states.

Incidents of economic collapse, terrorism and disruption of legal order could require deployment of forces within the U.S., it said.

A "strategic shock" could require the nation to use "military force against hostile groups inside the United States."

I’ve always felt a bit insecure knowing most of these essentials will not be available to me and my family should any part of the complex supply chain be interrupted.

Start buying extra bags of beans, cans of soup. Get on ebay and look up "MRE", buy as much as you can afford, and keep buying.

Ditto’s

...and the MREs were unacceptable.

Didn't stop them from taking them and using them for barter. Thanks, Uncle Sugar.

The “have-nots” will get hungry quick...

Not to worry. I'll bet Teamsters volunteer in droves to drive trucks loaded with food into urban areas. The Reginald Denny Brigade.

Humm, I’ll dig some as I am free today. Thanks for the info...

BTW, get any good Anime of late? I am reviewing my GITS collect. Even better the (many) times around.

I think if whitey starts rioting It will make all previous riots look like romper room.

If whitey riots, I doubt he'll be trashing his own neighborhood.

>And one other small point: the ammo won’t be Geneva Convention approved either...Nosler BallasticTips coming in from 500+ yards to mind.<

Someone mentioned to me last month that there is at least 135 .50 cal’s in my county, that he knew of. He belongs to the .50’s Club himself. They do a lot of practicing at the local 1000 yard range. A great bunch of people!

The military won’t fire on self-defenders from the rioting hordes at the command of Barfsack. I have every expectation that they will come down on the side of morality, even if it means mutiny.

Was on their website last night looking and it looked like nearly all of the ammo was sold out.

A fifty pound bag of rice, 50 pounds of beans, some seasoning, garlic powder, and onion flakes or powder are cheap “food” insurance to start.

[JimRed]

They will be putting themselves and their families at grave risk...

No, I draw the line at including their families in the carnage. I believe that you meant the risk to thier families of their loss, not punishing the families for a relative's behavior.

Anyone know where I could get a good tactical sling for a Winchester 1300 Defender shotgun with a folding stock, pistol grip and High Vis sight? Not that I own one of course. Purely a hypothetical question.

Whitey's neighborhood, or natural environment (according to Thomas Jefferson), is the productive farm. You can't riot on a farm. I encourage all Whiteys, Honkeys, and Crackers to find a farm pronto, and get there before the natural urban dwellers start burning their cribs.

As predicted by many freepers over the year including myself.

I am not done with this issue. Cheaper-than-dirt ran a full page AD and I gave the NRA code for the .223 Federal ammo special and they said they had .223 for 14.89 or at least close to double what was in the Ad. This is a bait and switch scheme, imho. I would take a rain-check. You should call—are you an NRA member?? If so, go to the latest magazine edition and see the ad.

Last month, trends forecaster Gerald Celente told Fox News that America will morph into the first "undeveloped" nation of the world by 2012. He said there will be a tax revolution marked by "food riots, squatter rebellion, tax revolts and job marches." He also said by 2012, the holidays will be more about getting food rather than gifts.

This "trends" forecaster is an alarmist nincompoop. The numbers we're seeing suggest that this economic downturn is probably going to last through 2009 and then start turning around in 2010. How the heck is the US going to become an undeveloped nation in the span of 4 years? Are martians going to steal all of our roads, power plants, factories and other economic infrastructure? People need a little bit of perspective here.

Well, the AK has caused some problems for our guys.

[Smokin' Joe]

Of course those in charge of our “government” will be the ones defining “hostile groups.” ,p>With the 'help' of groups like the SPLC, ADL, and soo many others...
