New York’s Division of Homeland Security is posting signs on businesses to encourage people to snitch on fellow citizens who buy such things as MRE’s (Meals Ready to Eat), ammunition, flash lights, match containers, gas masks and other items deemed to be ‘prepper’ in nature.
In this video a girl working at LZ Army Navy Surplus store in Auburn, NY tell us how a state trooper put up a flyer in their window which encourages customers to call the New York State Terrorism Tips Line to report this ‘suspicious activity’ under the as part of the “See Something, Say Something” campaign.
This is obviously nothing more than the beginning of the cultivation of ‘average citizen snitches’ who will rat out on their fellow citizens.
Despot governments have always needed snitches to help control the population. Now with technology the way it is, with our phones, computers and even our dishwashers spying on us, perhaps the need for snitches will be less – but it seems that the tyrannical government that’s currently encroaching still feels the need for them.

That is correct, FEMA says 3 days.
BUT, last summer the State of Ohio was running ads saying “at least 2 weeks.”
And now with a potential Ebola pandemic on the horizon...90 days seems much more appropriate.
That is a valid concern and this is from an unknown source, but it would seem to fall in line with current events.
I generally listen to what the government says and then do my own thing anyway. Three days doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface.
Good thing we’ve got the border secure and are not transporting potential carriers all though the US.. /sarc.
Sheesh, even Alan Grayson recommend Close Border to Ebola Countries..

This is Great, I encourage everyone to make that call whenever they see a PUBLIC SERVANT or PUBLIC EMPLOYEE purchase ANYTHING, most household items would be considered “prepper” in nature.
Northern York County, SC.
“So, technically speaking, I guess you could stand out in the parking lot of any local Piggy Wiggly, writing down license plate numbers of shoppers rolling a cart of groceries out to their car.
They’re “prepping”, right?”
Technically, if those groceries were purchased with a SNAP or other GibsMeDat ‘free sh*t’ mechanism, the correct descriptive term for that activity is “improper enrichment” which non-lawyers call “stealing”.
Yeah...well that recommendation isn’t going to be good enough either as the union in the UK has just admitted they are totally unprepared to deal with Ebola...
Can such an outbreak bring all world transportation to a standstill?
I just think about those days after 9/11 when there was no air traffic at all...so it can be done.
I bought a flashlight at Dollar Tree on Saturday.
Guess they are coming for me.
Nowdays thats ‘Yes we can’
“Heinrich Mueller, chief of Hitler’s Gestapo, commenting on the efficacy of this kind of system, said that there is -
“... nothing quite as efficient as an internal spy system (i.e., citizens spying on other citizens) for isolating the individual by making it impossible for anybody to trust anybody else.”” Attribution to an end of time site.
Nazi Germany had Block Watchers, I think the term was Gleiters, who would comment to Gestapo Local about any changes in the neighborhood or something someone said. These reports would trigger an investigation and as Berria told Stalin: show me the man, I will show you the violation.
Seriously, someone shows up at my shop with this nonsence and I toss him out the door. “You want to find some terrorists, go down to the border and find some illegals coming across the border, if they are not enemy combatants they are hell bent on bleeding this country dry so it is a distinction without a difference.
Well, the first prudent thing to do would close the D__ Border!
But we have a regime that is looking to Cloward-Piven the place so..
Possibly. I noted at the site comments that some said the story was an old one. I seem to remember this coming up about 5 years ago or so.
I have to admit that I wanted to be skeptical about this.. now you’re destroying my fingernail hold on the desire that our government wouldn’t do this.
Just like I want to avoid coming to the inescapable conclusion that our government is trying to bring down the country..
Then you’ll stand before the man in some bizarro McCarthy hearing ....
“ do you or have you ever supported the Constitution of the United States of America.”
As I said, I wanted to be skeptical about this.. but that is hard in the face of the evidence at hand.

Maybe that’s a very well done photo shop.... probably not..
Hey come on! It’s not like the IRS is going after groups that believe in such things now…. /sarc.
