The Streets of America in the Very Near Future…

Do you LOVE America?

    We’ve seen it time and again over the last five years. Governments overstepping their authority and punishing their people because of the actions of elite banking conglomerates, dirty politicians and bought-off regulators.

    Iceland, Greece, Ireland, Hungary, Argentina, Spain, and Portugal have all been pillaged in the name of purported recovery and stability.

    Today we’re seeing it in Cyprus, where Euro Zone financiers have threatened to not only rob the populace of their personal savings, but shut off access to bank accounts indefinitely. And, as we’ve seen elsewhere, the people are having none of it.

    Like the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, it took a mere 72 hours of restricted access to funds, and thus essential goods, before the people took to the streets in mass protest and rioting.

    The following pictures depict what’s in store for the United States in the very near future, when our own banking system re-collapses and Americans are left with no ability to access their money or are restricted to how much cash they are able to withdraw.

    When the banks close your only option will be ATM’s, most of which will be empty:

    And within 72 hours, when the realization of the magnitude of this event takes hold, people will no longer stand in line peacefully, but rather, will storm their banks and government offices, just as they have done in Cyprus (and elsewhere).

    There is one key distinction to consider between the rioting in Cyprus and what we’ll experience here in the United States.

    You see, the US government and the Pentagon have been actively war-gaming this very scenario for years. They know an economic  collapse and the civil unrest that follows is an inevitable outcome of our current paradigm. Thus, they have spent the better part of this crisis training the National Guard to respond to mass riots, along with coordinated exercises that involve local law enforcement and military forces.

    Vigilant Guard

    There’s a reason that Department of Homeland Security has stockpiled nearly two billion rounds of ammunition.

    What’s waiting for Americans when this goes down is starkly different from the response by government officials in other parts of the world.

    A financial collapse in this country cannot be avoided. Do everything you can now to ensure you aren’t part of the mob when it happens.

      1. Obama is a Muslim!!! 🙂

        • Below’s a nice chant from my memories at ‘jump school’ (subsitute ‘barry-o’ for ‘ho-chi-minh’)

          “barry-o’s a sumabitch,
          Got the blue-balls, crabs, & the seven-year itch”

          • @Eagle 71— if you are referring to jump school as in Airborne, I call Bullshit right now.
            NO part of the US Armed services would let ANYONE chant ANYTHING against a standing US President. More stupid wannabe bulllhsit from SHTF plan.
            And a dickhead who did nothing for my Country.
            I think you jumped and landed on your head.

            • You need to re-read Eagle’s post, troll. He said to SUBSTITUTE O’s name for Ho Chi Minh.

            • Try reading the post again.

              • You beat me to it, Daisy.

            • Thanks Daisy…afterthought though, I should have capatalized the word ‘subsitute’, for people like WhosOnFirst, that were unable to discern.

              @WhosOnFirst – I never chanted anything disrespectful against any sitting Commander-in-Chief when I jumped. My sincerest apologies brother if you thought otherwise.

            • well my friend YOU really need to open your eyes because as a soldier you are REQUIRED UNDER OATH, to up hold our country and to throw out any who are trying to destroy it and OBAMA is trying to destroy it and needs to be tried for treason !!! every military person i know and i work on a base wants his head on a stick!!!

              • Ecidently, you do not take your oath to defend the constitution. Obama, like him or hate, was elected according to our constitution. It sounds like you are all for the constitution until things do not go your way. You people are more dangerous than Obama because you have no morals, you are just egecentric adolescents.

                • The Missionary
                  The oath stated that we will defend the Constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic. When a president ignores the Constitution, tries to gut the Second Amendment so that others can be eliminated later, then, yes,by definition, he is a domestic enemy.

                • @JoeinNC….could he be NCjoe on the “SHEEPLE” blog?
                  Everyone…The DUCK syndrome, DUH!

                  I’ve said it before, ignore this unpatriotic troll and he will go away…….

            • WhosOnFirst’

              Thank fully you were NEVER part of a real GROUP. Else, I would guarantee your primary and secondary would FAIL. Ignorance is bliss in YOUR case. You always fail to recognize the simple truth. I see from your remarks the only jump school you ever had was off the swing set. Have a great day………

            • @WhosOnFirst:

            • Can’t read can you. Of course Uncle Ho was probably one of your heroes. Retard.

            • WhosOnFirst is a sonovabitch,
              Got the blue-balls, crabs, & the seven-year itch!

              • Right on.

              • Go infantry.

                • ’69, Ft Bragg, perfect lock-step: “I don’t know but I’ve been told…Eskimo Pussy is mighty cold”…1-2-3-4…..

            • The wannabe is you. Osuck.

          • That’s an insult to Uncle Ho…

            • Anybody who thinks that things would be different under Mitt Romney is fooling themselves.

              He is a puppet and is the “president” now because that is what the PTB believe most of the sheep want to see.

              Get over your stupid hate and plant a garden.

              • Every puppet has strings attached—we need to bypass the puppet and follow the strings to stop this.

        • I thought we established this already?

        • Anybody wanna talk fun shop for a moment? What is everyone’s primary rifle/handgun? I’ll go first. Mine is a Bushmaster Optics Ready Carbine in .223 with a Burris Red Dot with 3 X magnification. My primary sidearm is likely either my Para-Ordnince 1911 or my .40 S&W Glock 23

          • Custom recurve 62# at 28″

            Mathews MQ1 70# compound bow

            Two labs and a mean ass rooster

            • Big 10-4 on the rooster. He’s got a pair of hooks on him that look like Ginsu knives. And I f#@ck with him every chance I get. He has ambushed me a couple of times.

          • Bad ass wrist rocket slingshot and a bag of marbles!

            • Don’t laugh folks, if the assclowns in washington get their way that is what we will be left with!!

              • A rock and a prayer is what took Goliath down so all you really need in the end is the right connections ( God) because I guarantee that the other side does not talk to the Big Guy. Polish your metal and polish your prayers. They are both good weapons.

          • M1 Abrams, she only gets 1 mile per gallon of diesel though 🙂

            • @ MC,

              At 1200+ SHP you were expecting a Yugo’s gas mileage? ;0

              • Haha, I coverted mine to run on partial diesel/partial garbage like a DeLoren. She hums when running on banana peels and aluminum cans. For those not catchin on, Back to the Future reference

                • …I coverted one tractor to run on brainwaves outta the govt….cant seem to get any spark?….and the other on hot air from the same source….cant get it to shut down?! 😉

                  • If we could get one to run on b.s never have to worry for energy

            • They use JP4….. LOL

              and I think it is actually 4 gallons to the mile….. ughhhhh

            • 19K IN DA HOUSE! Remember, planes can attack land, but tanks hold it… ’nuff said

              504.7 gal. of fuel, 1600 Hp turbine engine, 42 rounds of 120mm main gun ammo, 12,400 rounds of 7.62×51 coaxial ammo, and the M2 cal .50 machine gun, 100 rounds of hell at a time! HOOAH!

              • Lost,
                19K30 SEP Tanker here! I loved my .50.

            • Abrams dont run on deisel, they use JP8. And they get about 1/2 mile to the gallon assuming you are driving and not just sittng defense. I only point this out so as you prep you need to store about 100,000 gallons of JP8. Excellent choice on weaponry, btw. My bb gun seems inadequate now.

              • I have fueled jet aircraft with JP4 and JP5. Both fuels were a more refined kerosene/deisel as I remember. So is JP8 a fuel which is closer to gasoline?

                • When I was stationed in ROK in 1993-94 we switched from diesel to JP-8 for our ground vehicles. Only real difference was better pour point freeze protection and the aviation grade biocide killed off all the diesel tank fauna, clogging fuel filters for the first 3 months. No further modifications were needed, and it shortened out supply train by one tanker unit when we deployed to the field.

          • I have a rifle, an axe handle, a bottle of capsacin water…and the strength God will give me to utilize any and all weapons at my disposal against mine enemies….
            fob

            • Feisty Old B, etc: get some combat/military knives (mail order) aluminum baseball bats, spray bottles of vinegar not diluted, take some nylon socks and fill with rocks or coins to swing at a mean dog or person, etc. Many home items can be used for self defense besides guns. Search online for household items used for self defense.

              • A big can or two of wasp and hornet spray is a must have for the home arsenal. And you don’t have to be close to reach out and touch someone.

          • Sorry Mclovin—–OPSEC!

            • Seriously,you know this site is trolled,and you want people to let them know what you have!…..NOT…..”my weapons”. Constitution,bill of rights …….

          • I have a Lasso of Truth, Indestructible Bracelets and my Powerful Tiara 😉

            • Lynda Carter had to carry a .45 to protect her 38s.

            • Showoff!!

            • Love over war any day of the week!

          • I used to have some before that terrible boating accident

            • Same here. After the boating accident and the yard sales, I’m stuck with just sharp garden tools.

              • I’ve got a pet rock; been in the family for years.

                • If it came from Wyoming, I think I may have one of it’s relatives. Must have a good family tree,it doesn’t have a fault, I’m petrified I’ll drop it. And I love it to death. May just use it for a headstone. Trekker Out.

          • I have a Crossman BB gun. Hey, times are tough.

          • I got a shotgun, a rifle and a 4 wheel drive brother,
            Country boys can survive…

            • damn ohio

              just jump right in front of me ,haha

            • Which ever one I’m packin’ at that moment. If its small, I’ll use it to fight my way to an AK, shotgun, or AR.

          • Anything from close range to 2000+ meters with 870 grain. Catch my drift…. You will never hear the sound of Justice until it rears it ugly head.

          • i got a shot gun ,a rifle ,and a four wheel drive ,and you can bet your ass ill survive

          • You might as well have sent an email to obowma to let him know how you are defending yourself. He just signed an EO to allow gov. to read ANY email.

            • Stalinist commies will kill you if you let them get close enough. Trade your poodle poppers for clay, the more the better.

          • Mclovin,
            no one here owns any of those scary weapons. We all support the government’s plan to ban things that are scary like that. We take joe’s advice and get a dog. Besides, we can always call the cops if we need help, cant we?

            Damn, it makes me sick just typing that BS.

            • @Bulldog, you have to man up. Learn to spread the propaganda and lie like the liberal trolls and government pawns do. We have to get over our ethics to win against people who have none. Lie, I say, Lie! Only then can we expose the cockroaches and stomp them out.

          • Mclovin,

            I’m totally unarmed at this point. All my stuff was stolen. I just have a sharpened stick to poke out their beady little eyes.

            That and bear traps. Lots of bear traps.

          • My favorite gun? It’s a toss up. My FNFAL, or maybe my AK47, OR MY AK74. Work for you?

            • I sent all my guns back since they were defective,not one has committed a crime yet and I have had them six months. The libs say guns cause crime so mine are defective

          • POS .223, pull bullets, smash scope, use lense, start fire, warm commies.

          • Unfortunately, “all of my guns were lost in a lake when my boat mysteriously capsized”. Now, I’ll never be able to replace them. Good thing I still have the First Amendment to protect me! I will scream loudly at them!

          • @McLovin

            What can I say: I’m a broke as shit schoolteacher in the South. Plus I’m a cheap French Canadian like my father before me. Sooooooooooo…

            A) rifle : Yugo SKS, made in the same year my sexy ass wife was born, and built every bit as solid

            B) shotgun A: Maverick 88 12 gauge pump with pistol grip and low recoil slugs & 00 buck

            shotgun B: Remington 870 full stock with recoil pad and Hornady slugs

            C) sidearms: twin Hi Point 9mm. Fuck me, one of them will go bang when I pull the trigger.

          • Blowgun with steel & bamboo darts and a Daisy 760…

            • I mean a Crossman Pumpmaster 760 with .177 Destroyer pellets. My dog ate my others…

          • Barnett wildcat C5 with red dot optical and crank-style cocking device, with a side of Colt 45 between reloads.

        • You don’t say…

          “The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy somonstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst.It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent.” —J. Edgar Hoover, The Elks Magazine, 1956

          “The Rockefellers and their allies have, for at least fifty years, been carefully following a plan to use their economic power to gain political control of first America, and then the rest of the world. Do I mean conspiracy? Yes, I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent.” Congressman Larry P. McDonald, November 1975, from the introduction to a book titled The Rockefeller File.

          It’s coming…

        • AmeriKa the land of the free, NOT ! Don’t you just love it how we’ve turned into a Police state !

          Since most of us here don’t listen to the MSM we know what’s going down. And we know they are prepping for when the SHTF.

        • Drop the muslim shit!!!!We have more real problems…

          • I don’t know whether to give you a thumbs up or a thumbs down!
            You’re right, but he’s definitely a muzzie.
            Look at all the muzzies he’s put in his admin…

            • Where do you get this muslim crap? He is as christian as any other christian, a praying churchgoer.

              Not that that makes him a good president in my book.

              • Type in google ” obamas ring” …… Wake the f up!

                • Actually, that is easily debunked by better pictures. Let’s focus on the real issues and leave this crap alone. I don’t care about his faith or his politics even. I simply am pissed about his actions and what he is doing. Isn’t that enough common ground? Do we really need to go off on tirades
                  about non sensical false bullshit that honestly doesnt even matter? Lets grow up, we are going to need adults that can make fact based decisions when SHTF.

                  • It does matter though that he is a Muslim. If you do not realize that then you are really dumb. Islam is as much or more a political system as a religion. You have the mind of a child.

            • I suspect that were obama a muslim he would’nt be keeping quiet the fact that most of the inmates of gitmo have been on hungerstrike for over 40 days, and you wont see that on MSM.

        • Not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but i see people who are serious about this “i.e. Lindsey Williams” claiming that Obama is a muslim. Obama is the last person to be suspected a muslim (Droning and carpet bombing, killing hundreds of thousands of “muslims” does not really make you a good candidate of being a “secret muslim”)

          • What about the Iraqi-Iran war that lasted 8 years. Last time I checked they were all muslim.

        • this applies to all he”s a ASS

      2. Levels of civil unrest:

        LEVEL ONE: The lowest level of civil unrest is when people turn on their own neighborhoods—as happened during the race riots of the 1960s and the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles. Level One civil unrest can be deadly and destructive, but primarily to people who live, work, or must travel in the immediate area. Level One civil unrest is spontaneous, is confined to a narrow geographical zone where the protestors live. Police response may be harsh, but it’s localized. Unless you’re in the middle of it, you’re unaffected.

        LEVEL TWO: Level Two civil unrest may also be focused on a single area. But in this case, rioters or protesters have deliberately targeted a business district, a facility, a transportation system, or an organization to impose maximum disruption.

        LEVEL THREE: Level Three comes when mass unrest or authoritarian crackdown causes disruption at state or regional level. Then, no matter what the original cause or location of the trouble, everyone in the region is affected. Effects might include travel restrictions, random ID checks, mass arrests, food and fuel rationing, controls on money and banking, roadblocks, and other harsh “emergency” restrictions.

        LEVEL FOUR: Level Four is Level Three—but on a national or even international scale. It’s martial law. If things ever get this bad, it’s likely that the government itself will be a far bigger threat to everyone’s wellbeing than whatever the original cause of the clampdown was.

        Watchman

        • Watchman, care to speculate on R.O.E. for each scenario?

          • That is where the 1.6 billion rounds of hollow point come in. Not to mention the MRAPs and anything else needed to pull a coup under the color of martial law.

            • Get off the mraps. First that’s been debunk. There more than enough other issues to worry about

              • “Get off the mraps. First that’s been debunk.”

                It has? When? Where?

              • Who are you to tell us what not to discuss. Up yours.

        • Watchman,

          I was in the LA riots, and that was crazy as it was. I like your assessment. Let’s hope we don’t see Level 3-4, but I fear we might.

          Keep your powder dry,

      3. Get your money out NOW if you haven’t already. I have been slowly taking every penny out of the stock market and the bank for the last year. Only keep enough in your account to cover your expenses

        • Amen, Southern Gal.

          Regarding your last sentence, I would add to keep more than enough in your magazine(s) to defend your expenses.

        • The end is very near, my sister is moving to Portland. Be ready, hell is freezing over.

          I don’t know what to think about the time line of when it will come crashing down. Every prediction so far has been wrong. If the market goes down 300 points then it’s a sign, the next day it begins a 10 day run to the upside. Buy gold it will be 2500.00 by spring, well it’s spring. The people that are running the economy are some smart people and they have so many gimmicks up their sleeve to keep kicking the can down the road that no one here really knows when it will happen but when it does, the Cypriots will look like a bunch of school girls compared to the violence that will spew forth here.

          If it can be postponed until the fall all the better. That gives me time to plant, grow, harvest and preserve like never before. Raise some animals for meat, Fish for meat and not sport, hunt for everything that I can get a tag for and cut many chords of fire wood. This is going to be a fun year!!!!!!!!

          • Don’t worry Rick. NOTHING is coming. The same people have been chanting the same lines for two decades.

            • Allie has a new moniker! 🙂

              • Good eye DK
                The cockroach troll reincarnated as a cockroach troll

              • Still an asswipe though. Gotta be good a something. I sincerely hope that he/she or it is right about nothing happening.

                • @ John W…… I think She,He or IT ,would make GOOD CANNON FODDER!!! mm

              • Whew, for a minute I thought it was Bud Abbott or Lou Costello.

            • Allie Cat go else where your not wanted here

          • It is entirely possible that those of high intellect managing this impossible situation for nearly a century understood at inception, the necessary reconciliation of the process.

            The fear of the masses of managed populations is the possibility that events escape the bounds of their perception of a control mechanism they have voice in.

            The fear of those who believe they control mass populations is the reality that history is reflected in the movement of the mass, not the intelligentsia.

            They are well aware that they will be the first ground in the sausage of history… thus… machination.

          • Things look bad now, but I am betting on 2015 being the year of the big financial crash. Portland isn’t a safe place to be, but sounds like you are in a more rural area. Many of my relatives are in Seattle and according to “Strategic Relocation”, Seattle is the 3d most dangerous place in the nation. I think most of Hawaii and Florida are the worst.

            • You shouldn’t think.

          • All the things you want to do by fall are the very things my husband and I have done for over 40 years and believe me all of your wants make for a good life wish everyone had the same ideas. Was reading something today from a friend who for the first time saw the TV show Doomsday Preppers and her only question was why in the world would anyone want to have a years worth of food in their house?? I never answered her because if she doesn’t know by now she never will. Sad case because she is an educated person, a high school teacher at that.

            Hope the rain comes this growing season as the mid-west is still dry and it is an up hill battle to get the garden growing as it should. Right now we are getting wet snow which will be a help.

          • Life is a blessing and prepping is a way of life. peace.

          • I grind my lean meat, particularly elk, deer and antelope, then add Morton’s Sugar Cure as directed. Next I press all of the meat into 3 ounce sticks 1/8 x 1 1/2 x 4 inches and dehydrate it at about 140 degrees F for 12 hours. Then I run it through my smokehouse (hickory and apple chips) for 6 hours. I keep a good supply on hand.

            Semper Fi

        • who got money?

      4. I can only hope that instead of rioting and killing each other, we go and kill the ones responsible for selling our chilren down the fucking river. Got targets?

        • Got Bullets? You think all the bullets Americans are buying are for the zombies? Do you think the bankers and the wall skeefers and the crooked politicians can survive if people learn what they’ve done? They’ve done everything they can to distract and misdirect. …and people have been willingly going along with it. Confiscate their money or let the financial system fail and people will snap out of it. The normalcy bias will get wiped away in a flash.

          The pain and the hunger will change a great many drones into wide awake people that are pissed.

          …and they’ll be looking for targets.

          • Going to be a long HOT summer.

            • Nearby today a woman was carrying a baby and was shot and wounded. The baby was shot and killed in plain sight and in broad daylight.

              More to come in the future.

              • Damn Amish again. What is their problem?

            I never said anything about looting. You inferred that. I would only loot that if I knew SHTF was gonna be bad and extended. Why? Because if I didn’t someone else would. You need to read Selco. In SHTF, good people become bad, bad people become worse. If you expect any morality in SHTF you’re in for a world of hurt. My group is highly trained, problem is they’re far away from me.

            • “I would only loot that if I knew SHTF was gonna be bad and extended. Why? Because if I didn’t someone else would.”

              Quite typical of the moral relativism of your generation.

              You have no moral standard beyond what suits your own selfish ends.

Heh. FDIC insurance, he says. It is laughable. It’s like insuring a car purchase with a buck fifty, except actually it’s worse than that.

          • @ TheGuy,

            Yo Brother….go back a couple of fays ago…maybe three? Check for a link I posted there relative to to what the Hedge gave out on JUST what FDIC could actually cover. AND that doesn’t include the exposure to the – now 1+ Quadrillion dollar derivatives market that JPM managed to get dome JO at the SEC, Treasury to sign off on insuring. When all is said and done if you have 1,000,000 in ainsured accounts you can EASILY expect to get back, Oh say, about…ummm, $122 dollars American …at a guess.

            Frankly it’s PATHETIC…about 1/50th of one per cent or sosmesuch…SHOW that to them, see if that doesn’t stir up a bit of mervosness, Eh?

            • “DO NOT sit around and wait for your money, be it in retirement accounts, stock accounts, money market accounts or even in simple bank accounts or CDs, to be stolen. There is probably going to be a small reaction lag as the low-information populaces of the Southern European countries (Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal) are slow on the uptake of what has happened, but it won’t last forever. Once Guido in Naples gets his head around this, the Eurozone will be O.V.E.R. And the the US banks carrying HUNDREDS OF TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS in leveraged European sovereign debt over-the-counter derivatives will implode into a black hole-esque singularity at the speed that information can cross the Atlantic Ocean, which AIN’T VERY DARN LONG, kids”
              Ann Barnhardt

              And this:

              A reader sent this in. Effective December 31, 2012, FDIC insurance became AGGREGATED with a maximum PER OWNER cap of $250,000.
              Many of you are under the impression that FDIC protection is per account, and thus if you just keep your money spread around and never keep more that a quarter-mil in cash in any one bank that you are “safe”.

              Nope. It is tied to your Social Security number / Tax ID number now.

              And remember, total bank deposits in the U.S. are somewhere around TEN TRILLION DOLLARS and the FDIC deposit insurance fund as of March 31, 2012 had a whopping $15 BILLION.

              Bottom line: if you think your bank deposits are “insured” or “safe” because of FDIC protection, you’re totally irrational.

              CITATION HERE.

              December 31, 2012
              As scheduled, the unlimited insurance coverage for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts provided under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act expired on December 31, 2012. Deposits held in noninterest-bearing transaction account are now aggregated with any interest-bearing deposits the owner may hold in the same ownership category, and the combined total insured up to at least $250,000.

        Second, by keeping your cash handy and out of the banks, you could sit and watch the dumbasses standing in line hoping to get their money out.

      14. Keep enough fiat money on hand at home to get you through until the average Joe realizes that it’s worthless. It may take a while to sink in. The poor sheeple of Greece are lining up to get pieces of paper that will soon be useless except for fire starter.

        Use fiat money now to buy things of real value that will be priceless in the future. Flour, sugar, rice, canned goods, water, alcohol, ammo, guns, tools, fuel, heirloom seeds, chickens and other small livestock. A small plot of land with some shelter or a home away from suburbia. You don’t need a farm, 3-5 acres would be more than enough to plant gardens and raise some small livestock.

        Only after you have sufficient stores to get you through at least a year and renewable sources of food and water secured, would I consider other anything else.

        • Just an experiential observation here to add,
          On 1 acre, you can raise enough veggies and grains to feed one family well and maybe more, utilizing chickens and rabbits for your livestock, they can eat almost anything, and their manure works excellent in composting witch will be a necessity if everything dries up.
          One acre is also easier to manage, its a tough job to keep on top of things on bigger places, an absolute necessity for many of you folks on the continent will be at least one double or triple sheeted tunnel, (greenhouse) and some different types of row cover, that way you can grow for more months!

      19. Its already happening here. Several people I know have already cashed out their entire savings account. Which is a good idea anyway since the govt now wants to tax savings accounts.

        • A little known facet of Obamacare(Clapp Amendment) levies a 3.8 tax on savings and checking accounts. If taxed yearly they will slowly take all our money.

          • Whats going on here, mainly, is that they are forcing any believers of fiat or even any holders of fiat currencies, into equities. They will make bonds that are a negative yield, they will tax/take money in your bank account. It is a ridiculous strategy that will not work, but the thinking probably is that if they can keep equities high, they will not collapse the system. It is the public’s belief in currency and their failure to compute between money and quality of life. It never occurs to them that these two things, as we are clearly seeing now, are very different things. It is really true. Money cannot buy you happiness. Money is not happiness. Only total collapse can make things ever get better now. It is truly a no win situation.

        US plan calls for more scanning of private Web traffic, email

        Time for everyone to get TOR (The Onion Router) installed on your computers. Get off Facebook unless you are disciplined enough to only put useless (to gov) crap on there. Don’t email anything important unless it is encrypted.

        You might consider getting an older laptop, install DOS only for the operating system, and install a text-only DOS web browser. Then if you use a wireless card, you can use a wifi hotspot without leaving much of a trail. DOS is quick enough to install that you can get multiple versions of DOS and install a different version each time you go to a hotspot. I believe that would make your internet usage practically untraceable. You can copy the multiple versions of DOS to a thumb drive and carry it with you so you can reinstall on the go. There are also a number of different DOS browsers and email programs to switch between.

        I just wrote the last paragraph off the top of my head. If anyone sees a flaw in what I wrote, please let me know. I want to start putting it into practice, but won’t start if it’s a flawed plan.

        • To heck with DOS- it’s long past its prime.
          There are dozens of Linux/BSD distro’s out there that will provide much better security & functionality. ( try distrowatch.com for a current list)
          If you want to cover your tracks, go with a live distribution such as Crunchbang, Porteus, Puppy or Liberte’. (Liberte’ is pre-configured to use TOR by default) which eliminates the need for a hard drive. For those who don’t trust TOR, consider using I2P (i2p2.de). Many of these distro’s will run on minimal hardware, a useful thing in and of itself. (For example, I have an old 586 laptop running Porteus which keeps track of my loading/shooting data.)
          Also, don’t overlook those old WiFi routers (or even modems) collecting dust in the closet- they can be used to create a community network. If you’re really out in the boonies, consider looking into packet radio.

        • @ Archivist,

          Good Evening,

          Might to go back a forum or two to a dialogue between myself and Burrow Owl and NinaO relative to the merits of the various ‘packages’ in use or available…I was there apprised that TOR was less than ‘acceptable’.

              Carnivore (software)

              Carnivore was a system implemented by the Federal Bureau of Investigation that was designed to monitor email and electronic communications. It used a customizable packet sniffer that can monitor all of a target user’s Internet traffic. Carnivore was implemented in October 1997. By 2005 it had been replaced with improved commercial software such as NarusInsight.

              NSA, AT&T and the NarusInsight Intercept Suite

              A company called Narus has developed the NarusInsight Intercept Suite: a purpose built network surveillance system that is capable of analyzing (in real time) ALL of the data passing through the largest network nodes in existence. This system is capable of applying sophisticated targeting rules to the traffic, as well as recording entire, individual sessions for later analysis.

              That, in a nutshell, is the system that’s keeping an eye on us. It sits between the large peering nodes where different carriers’ networks come together. It searches for traffic based on tasking provided by NSA, captures it and phones it home over a private IP based optical carrier link. Where is that data winding up? Yesterday we saw information on the National Security Analysis Center, which might become the repository for the longer term storage of the information that is captured from this and other surveillance operations.

              • 1. arp -a
                This shows you the Internet addresses mapping to each hardware address. Each network card has a hardware address. They are numbered much like VIN’s with the vendor number in there and other identifying numbers.
                2. User-Agent (site: whatsmyuseragent displays it)
                Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0)
                Is sent with every web browser request (HTTP request)
                3. cookie, google login, and other tracking mechanisms. These have become fairly prevalent nowadays.
                Its a direct exercise for someone to track any activity on the Internet down to the computer from which it came. Of course, if the computer was on a wifi or other network and is no longer there, then the connection is lost. But, they could surely have been logged into google/other and have been identified that way through a software layer.
                Also, take a look at the ten most common usernames and 10 most common passwords. “mafia” typically take over a persons computer and install their evil program. In this way, when the authorities trace back through the network to the computer then they find some teenage kid with no idea what was happening. Or some teenage kid who has been marginally involved and trojaned. In my experience in 1998, the FBI does visit the teenage kid in an ISP in NY and the cracker who lived in Boston; but, no prosecution followed. I’m sure by now they are better about prosecuting these criminals.
                The “streets” are the wires too. China is actively at war with the USA there. Are that at war with you personally? Probably not but some criminals in Nigeria and eastern bloc are actively attacking your home computers, iPhones, etc. Remember, keep the doors closed.
                P.s. Just boot a LiveCD version of Linux and use it. Up to date and any runtime data like cookies would be gone on the next boot. Not sure if you can fiddle your network card ID but I think you can with most wifi cards. I never messed with it as I don’t think I’m doing anything illegal by standing up for the Constitution of the United States of America.

        None Left.

        I have been at many Food relief operations. Supplying Food, Fuel, Propane, Medics in A Tent. The people were just plain people of many colors and types. All acted the same when the supplies got low and the line got to long or stopped,

        The Lines are not what to be worried about. (We are past the point of Return.) It is if there is nothing left for the one there when they finally get to door.

            Here’s what I simply do NOT get…

            The European’s are absulutely at the Russain’s MERCY over the Natural Gas issue, via GazProm of course. WHAT did they THINK was going to happen when they attempted to confiscate the fiancial proceeds of a kleptocratic oligarchy? This is not merely ‘ill-considered’…this is not dumb…or stupid…this is WELL beyond any of those.
            Suicidal maybe? I dunno, this is NOT a rational action on the part of the European leadership…

            …unless they ACTUALLY think that our NATO obligations are going to drag us into it with them…FAT CHANCE THAT
            …they make thier bed, they LIE IN IT!

              • Howdy Kula,

                How goes it Bro?

                Maybe, it’s a timing thing here. Consider if you will, the following,

                The Russians are in the final stages of the development of a VERY advanced Air superiority fighter that in the opinions of several experts, “…is capable of out-maneuvering and out-shooting and F-22 Raptor.”
                Pointedly, the schizzle on this is that 3 or more are now with the Russian Air Force and production is to begin imminently. FWIW, the Russian’s have always had good, often GREAT airftame and engine tech…they have classically only lagged in the avionics themselves…. and that is likely what they have been doing for the last two decades with access to the West through Europe.

                In any modern conflict the determining factor IS air superiority…look at Libya, Iraq, et al. Still…this seems suicidal on ALL Fronts…for ALL Parties concerned.
                That said you’re probably right as rain on this…the Euro’s have simply went bat-shit nutz. Yeah, That’s got to be it. There’s a horde of things going on in that sphere anyway…LaGarde’s apartment got raided over a huge, apparently ‘crony’ loan she approved for someone, the French minister in charge of Anti-corriuption efforte there came up as having a LARGE secret Swiss bank account, Cypress does not look like it CAN comeback regardless, Hell that list just goes on and on… KEEP you’re eyes and ears open Bro…I’m getting the feeling that this is going to see a ‘change of pace/tempo ‘ in short order…

                Be prepared to DUCK! 😉 Gotta go, later Bro…

                JOG

            • That’s what I was pondering also. Why would the EU take on Russia when Russia in my mind has the advantage. All I can come up with is the system is about to collapse and they have no alternative but to try to steal the Russian’s money. An article on NPR said that Cyprus banks had lost around 5 billion euro speculating in Greek bonds and they want to extract between 7-8 billion euros. There is obviouslt much more going on behind the scene that being told the timing of both the Frank Dodd provisions and the mysterious bet placed against banks ETF’s last month.

              http://www.businessinsider.com/massive-options-bet-against-bank-etf-2013-2

              Coincidental that a large bet was placed against the airlines right before 911 too.

              Those pictures of Obama and Putin last looke like they were awfully cozy

              • its not about money

                look at all the national governments and banking houses players involved in the cyprus game

                they all want the same bone

                its about middle east / Mediterranean military control influence and cyprus national natural resources gas and oil fields development

                ;0P

          • Here in Europe we’ve got loads of gas and fuel it’s just very expensive.
            I suspect one of the reasons that there has been so much trouble around the eastern med. ;greece,turkey,the lebanon,egypt,tunisia,cyprus and the rest is the recently published discovery of many millions of cubic metres of natural gas under the sea in the levant basin.

        • Guess who lost last time?

          Germany better “flinch” right about now. They have a penchant for getting their asses kicked.

          • Germany and China both are Industrial Economic Political Power Houses at this moment , each with a very weak Achilles Heel … no large national reserves of natural energy raw resources .

            In the Long-Term Without those … they are both properly $ucked !

            ;0P

      35. There are tons of things that I would like to say, but rather than rant I will post something that I believe can help all of us like minded citizens here. A post here last week led me to Survivalblog. Mr. Rawles stated that L/E has told him that deposits and withdraws as little as 3000.00 and $5000. have been reported to the govt. in the last few years. His suggestion,to avoid being noticed was to take out small amounts incrementally,preferably on pay-day.(We use the A.T.M. because of nosey tellers)
        WE do have some time. That little island of Cypress is just a Beta test for the bankster whores. The E.U. will be next ,and they will save the United States as the Grand Finale. The puzzle of Fema Camps, FEMA Coffins,Two Billion bullets, Domestic Drones, 2717 MRAPS,The Patriot Act,NDAA, and Militarized Police is starting to come together.

        • That all depends on how much money you have. Might take awhile for some even at a thousand a day. The reward for prepaing financially, then never get to use it. Leech nation.

      36. Hell I remember Celente predicting collapse/total depression by 2010 then 2011 then 2012..well now it’s 2013 going into the 2nd quarter..

        After a while the ‘sky is falling” mantra tends to wear quite thin..

        No one knows what will happen nor when..no one!..only what “could’ occur at some point..

        Yeah ,the debt is supposedly “unsustainable” since Ross Perot stated how many years ago?

        Well, Ben and company have infused trillions into the crap pile and we’re still plundering along..barely..

        That being said..I am still preparing just in case..

        Enjoy the evening

        • Something about the market being able to remain insolvent longer than you can remain sane.

        • what exactly is “collapse” ?

          if people are expecting things to go all to hell in one day
          I wouldn’t be holding my breath
          true
          a black swan event could occur and cause a rapid collapse
          but
          at the very least
          we are seeing a slow collapse
          just look at the facts and figures regarding the middle class

          collapse may very well happen one person at a time,one day at a time
          a little example-
          there is a manufacturer in my town
          they advertise jobs at $8.50 an hour
          and brag about it ???
          that’s survival level at best
          but people are happy to get those crap jobs
          for them
          collapse has happened

          • The “collapse” will surpass 9/11. It must be something so great, so huge, so shocking, so decimating, the public will be in utter and total shock and awe.

            The banksters and politicians need something so big to go down, they will disappear in the smoke and no one will even think of going after them.

            It will be a survival situation of every man for himself.

            A true escape SHTFPlan for the elites.

            • 9/11 was completely insignificant. 3000 people dead in a country of 300 million is nothing. Mass hysteria. I told people that at the time and I was shunned.

              • And never will be capable of understanding why.

        • @possee

          I live almost a thousand fucking miles from the place where I grew up. I’ve worked in three different states in the last four years. I’m lucky, because I managed to walk away from my house — no more equity and 15 years of unrelenting effort down the shitter, but I can move to where a job is. My last job search involved me sending out not less than 600 applications in six different states. I now make ONE THIRD LESS than I did just four years ago. I have three children and I haven’t been able to see two of them in the last two years because they are also tear assing all over the country trying to get and keep a job… wanna guess what a knife through my fucking heart THAT is? NO ONE HAS FUCKING HELPED ME!!!!!!!!! All the tears of sympathy are reserved for wetbacks who piss on our borders and flout our laws, Wall Street jackasses who can’t make money inside of banks where the money is in the first place, baby mamas squeezing out 8 kids by five different “sperm donors” and people like ME get to get up at 5:45 am every fucking day of the workweek to help pay for it. I NEVER owned a gun before just a few years ago; I’m arming up because I fear for my life and safety.

          Meanwhile, on TV, everything looks completely wonderful, and all the talk is about the strength of the so called “recovery”

          And you are still WAITING for the collapse? Flush out your headgear: ITS ALREADY BEGUN

          • SoS

            I feel ya… 4 months after my son was born I had to take a contractor job in A-stan. That was 3 years ago. I see my family 2x a year my son’s birthday and around Christmas. We still have the house and we’re preppin but damn I wish it would just crumble so at least I could rebuild AT HOME! The system is broken and there is nothing we can do to fix it until we remove the wreckage…

        I was at the Indianapolis Gun show last weekend and there were enough guns, ammuniton and weapons to win a small war. You would not want to piss off these very well armed Americans by screwing with their money!

        • yep…..better to keep stealing it thru inflation. Why change a 100 year plan ?

        • What? TPTB have been screwing with your money and the system for a hundred years via the Federal Reserve System.
          J.F. Kennedy tried to do something about it and lost. If the last of America’s greatest presidents couldn’t do anything to stop THEM from screwing with your money, what makes you all think you’re going to do something about it, let alone change anything?

          • JFK was an asshole, like Zeus, screwing anything that moved.

        • Alert! Nazi troll posting random bullshit on the internet!

      38. As I see it the army has to be woken up to the fact that they did pledge there oath to the constitution. And now is the time to continue to remind them of that. We’ve had a lot of good generals as presidents. So tell your family and friends in the armed force not to go against the oath they took. With there help these puppets to the elite will fall quickly.

          • I would trust them about as much as I would trust any other gooberment. Texas won’t be the first to secede. It will be a state nobody expects it from.

            • Ohio?, Michigan?..Indiana?..Alaska

        • They can’t secede. Not going to happen too much will be lost in the form of Federal money and interstate commerce/travel. Just wait when the SS checks don’t arrive.

          • Its not that they wont arrive. They just wont buy anything.

      40. Maybe in other countries the governments don’t need all the tanks, bullets and so forth like they do here because the people there are disarmed? All they can do when screwed by their government is protest and wave their flags?

        • Yep, and here we got rednecks with 20k rounds of 223 ammo and bushmasters with slide fire stocks and body armor, should make stuff interesting for sure!

          • What does the slide fire do?

        • Best sign I’ve seen on the street in a long time:

            I would look up, and they were looking past me at the television with a glazed looked in their eyes. “Huh? Oh that’s nice honey. Wow, you really got alot of stuff there haven’t you? Hey, could you grab me some Sunny D out of the fridge?”

      43. this is why we prep, so we don’t have to stand in any damn line with the zombies/sheeple/dumbasses….we have food on hand, cash on hand, and plenty of ammo to ride the storm out….dark days indeed (for the unprepared)

      44. The Cypriots at least can agree on whom their angst should be directed towards– the banks and gov’t. In the US, when the banks go offline, your preps need to be in place and you need to be heading towards the hills amongst friends,family and your own racial/ethnic kind because we have been conditioned as a society to believe the poor, rich, black, white, hispanic, jew, etc. are the problem of all of woes instead of the Corpocracy in control.

        It will be a pent up free for all for every group to express their blame, please their “god”, take back land that was stolen from them, take what they think they are entitled to. There is no other way to express what will happen here other than its going to be fugly and the powers that be will be enjoying the show from the underground bunkers that were paid for by out tax dollars.

      45. Everyone is worried about some Big Brother watching and the NWO. The only reson TPTB are watching is 1: to put out little fires and crush small groups so that the govt. seems all powerful and maybe scares the rest off for a while and 2: More importantly, they are monitoring the entire web for signs that a big blow up is coming so that they can get to their hinding places. All the major money folks and top govt. officials have been planning for this like many of us. They’ve been prepping for years and are just trying to hang on long enough to finalize their preps. Most of these folks have their mini Greenbriars to wait it out in while the rest of the world burns down. Why the hell do you think the govt. has bought so much ammo? It’s to supply their private little armies hired to protect them from us if and when we find out where some of them are hiding after the collapse. And all these new gun laws being proposed-TPTB are scarred shitless of us and don’t want any more of us to have any real weapons that could be used agaisnt them is the real reason. All the major long term storage companies are at full capacity and selling to shell companies who front for these big wigs. Watch for frequent increases in prices and longer wait times as the financial news worsens.

        • I tried mining for bitcoins a couple years ago but found out that with the amount of computing power I had it would take me a year to mine a single bitcoin. lol.It was just an experiment for me as I do not really trust “all that is virtual”. I applaud those using bitcoin simply because it competes with FRNs the same as PMs do. Bankers would love to control everything up to and including the sun and the moon. Good luck with that. Hang some bankers and throw a couple regulators off the roof.

          • Who is to say that the bankers don’t control Bitcoins, after all, they are nothing but figures on a ledger used for payment just like FRN’s and chequebook money. They are all created out of nothing(borrowed inot exsistance) for the sole reason of enslaving everybody and their descendants. More faith and credit smoke and mirrors bamboozlement.

Have any of you caught on that our enemy makes lists of their enemy and along with the names are addresses, phone numbers, places of employment and other pertinent bits of intelligence gathered from thousands of different places, all which can be used when they deem it necessary, to round up their enemy and shoot them? The enemy is just conducting business as usual. Does it not seem unusual to anyone that the enemy’s enemy does not do the same?

Having the enemy hear from all of us soon will not enter your mind.

        TPTB will escape underground. The newly renovated “Visitors Center” at the Capitol took years to build. 1600 had similar renovation. That is because there are thousands of miles of underground tunnels out of DC and all over the major metropolitan areas of the Northeast and up into Canada. Thousands and thousands of miles of underground granite roadways.

It could be one of three massive faults ready to break, there is a reason the USGS is so interested in the New Madrid. It could be something else such as a false flag before the financial collapse. It could be Mid East war, and mass terrorism from Hezbollah. In other words, the U.S. government IS planning for something, but that something none of us can be certain of unless one of us has some inside information.

        The main objective here is that we be prepared and continue to stock up for chaos, whatever event brings that chaos on.

        A Solar flare has been monitored by the GOES-15 platform, as I was out at the time I do not have the exact time/magnitude which are roughly, repectively 22:00 UTC at an M-2.0 magnitude..these figures are approximate only.

        The origin of this event was either 11692 or 11695, both of which are so close to the western limb that a clear ‘read’ is not possible. Owing to the stated position it is very unlikely that any efflux therefrom will be geo-effective. Interestingly, this region appears – clearly – to be on track for additional activity imminently….

Yes these things are coming to us even up here. Have your heart right with the Lord and seek wisdom from him on how to prepare. It is not a lack of faith that has people prepping. Most of the church believes that it is. These riots are coming it is true, however ours will be more of a revolution. These things must come to pass.

That being said, our current .gov is hell bent on destroying the constitution. You can’t convince me that Obamacare is constitutional, or trying to gut the 2nd amendment either among other things. DHS having almost 2 billion rounds of ammo is a little disconcerting too. We havent used that much in the two wars we’ve been fighting. I don’t think most members of the military both AD/Guard/Reserves would be willing to fire on their countrymen, thus the buildup of the brown shirts in DHS. The problem in this country is that most people are so ill informed and or just plain stupid, that they don’t see what is going on around them. I mean heck, as long as you can chat on facebook all night, who cares if the brown shirts are kicking down your neigbors doors and the currency has collapsed.

      74. I am very concerned about the Cyprus situation escalating considering the revelation that the Russian Treasury and various govt. agencies cannot fund their obligations and operations since the funds are frozen in Cyprus. I would suspect the market would be down today as no body wants to be exposed over the weekend. I’m heading to the bank to get some cash, top off the vehicle and got to head to the grocery store for a few things anyway, I’ll grab some extra things as my pantry and freezers are full and have long term food put up. Probably need to fill some more buckets up soon.

        We’ve got some buckets that are filled with all of one thing but last year we put up a bunch of what we call grab and run buckets- with a variety of items that have been sealed up in bags individually including toiletries, seasoning, teas, sugar, rice, beans, canned meat, matches, mashed potatoes, powdered milk, koolaid packs and and some candy for the kiddo.

        Called the sister in law last night that I am trying to inform to update her on Cyprus and to get some cash, gas and food…

        Well she was going to read some about it, have my BIL look at in the morning. I don’t think she grasps the potential severity of things. She wanted to talk about how she really wants to have another baby but she needed to wait another couple of years because the 1 yo and 3 yo are too much to handle.. Another mouth to feed and they are barely able to make ends meet now…

        Oh well at least she didn’t tell me about the latest Kardashian episode where they smell each others private part odors.– Folks that right that tells me its over for this Country and that episode was probably one of the highest rated episodes of that show.. but they are laughing to the bank.

      75. You GD people have got to wake up. This all started in the 1970’s when the great Nixon took us off the gold standard. Then it went into overdrive during the days of the great Ronnie. It was down hill ever since. AKA is the fall guy.

        • Gawd you had to open the can of worms. Took us off the gold standard, made deals with the ME countries to sell our oil in exchange for us not developing our oil resources and them buying our debt. I think our gov’t made a deal with the Chinese at some point to offshore our jobs that they needed for their people in exchange for buying our debt. Now that China has stopped buying our debt and is net seller-f***’m and stop exporting jobs– we don’t have enough jobs for every legal citizen that wants one..

          I am convinced that history will not paint a pretty picture of the USA 100 years from now unless we get our sh*t in order. We are collectively stupid. We allow Chinese gov’t owned companies to make component parts for our own military’s weapons and potentially steal or sabotage the technology. Many essential components of out electrical and communication grid ar not even made in the US all China–not even a single manufacturer in this hemisphere to produce.

        • Mike, I wonder if at this point, if any of us will be ok regardless of how we have prepared. Unless we live so far out in the boondocks that no one knows we are around, that might be our only saviour. If a gigantic collapse hits at once, regardless of cause, I am convinced that bugging in will be the only choice. I always hope for the best, especially having young children, but all signs point in a negative direction. It is sad how we as a country have let things detiorate for better than 90 years. I figured back in the 80’s that the wheels would’ve fallen off already. If I make it to retirement age without a total social/economic collapse in this country, well, let’s say I’ll be pretty damned surprised.

      78. A response from Rep. Paul Broun, (R-GA) sitting member of the House Homeland Security Committee.

        DR. PAUL: I received an email requesting more information on the rumor floating around that DHS has purchased 2700 “tanks.” This is actually false reporting. Someone took a press release from Navistar stating they were retrofitting 2,717 MRAPs (Mine Resistant, Ambush Protected vehicles) for the Army, and a video from DHS featuring a Customs and Border Patrol MRAP and explaining how CBP uses the vehicles, and combined them to imply that DHS was buying thousands of these vehicles for domestic use.

        The fact is that DHS has 32 MRAPs with no plans for further acquisition. 16 are with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, used in support of ICE Special Response Teams (SRT); and 16 are with Customs and Border Protection, used in support of CBP border tactical units. These are used for high-risk situations where the SRTs or CBP is likely to need cover from gunfire, such as serving high-risk warrants or breaking into heavily armed drug cells. These were all given to them by the Army out of their inactive stock, and DHS has no intent to procure any more.

        Along the same lines – I would also like to clear up the issue regarding ammunition stockpiling. The reports that DHS has been hoarding billions of rounds of ammunition is also false, and due to a media misunderstanding of how ammunition contracts function and misreading of individual solicitations.

        First and foremost, even if the 1.6 billion number being floated was accurate for the solicitations, it would only represent the “ceiling” of purchases – or the most that could be possibly purchased over a 5 year period – NOT a stockpile. If you’d like to see how much ammo they have on hand, please see the addendum below.

        Furthermore, that number is much higher than the actual ceiling due to a misreading of ammunition solicitations. For instance, one widely reported story indicated that the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center was soliciting for “750 Million Rounds,” but in actuality the solicitation called for roughly 63 million rounds if completely realized. And an amendment to the solicitation further clarified that the maximum allowed rounds doesn’t exceed 70 million rounds, NOT 750 million.

        You can see how this quickly spiraled into a story about “billions of rounds of ammunition” when a 70 million round maximum solicitation – that will likely generate much less in actual purchases – is counted as 750 million stockpiled today.

        Also, much has been made of the fact that this is “hollow point” or “high powered” ammunition. This is not unusual, as hollow point is the standard issue for law enforcement because it stops when it hits something instead of passing through for potential collateral damage.

        For more specific numbers concerning current ammunition procurement and historic numbers: According to DHS, in November of 2012 departmental components reported 263.7 million rounds of all types of ammunition on hand – slightly more than purchased in FY2010 and FY2011 combined. This is not unreasonable considering that DHS contains around 45% of all federal law enforcement.

        After looking into DHS ammunition procurement, we found that the amount of ammunition purchased by DHS has actually declined over the last three years. The combined sub-agencies of DHS purchased 148 million rounds of ammunition in fiscal year 2010, 108 million in FY 2011, and 103 million in FY 2012.

        The DHS components which purchased the most ammunition are the Customs and Border Patrol, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, and the U.S. Secret Service. Interestingly, while the number of rounds purchased has declined, the number of DHS purchased who carry guns and must train and certify in their use overall has grown.

        Thank you!

        Paul Broun, M.D.

        Rep. Paul has made sure I understood that if anyone has any other information, even if it is only just a rumor, please let me know and we can all track it down with Rep. Paul’s help!

        Where Is Tawas City, MI? Actually, it is on Lake Huron and has a population of Just over 2,000!! Go figure. A Small MICHIGAN NEWSPAPER EDITORIAL…..Short and to the point…

        Editor,

        Has America become the land of special interest and home of the double standard?
        Lets see: if we lie to the Congress, it’s a felony and if the Congress lies to us its just politics; if we dislike a black person, we’re racist and if a black person dislikes whites, its their 1st Amendment right; the government spends millions to rehabilitate criminals and they do almost nothing for the victims; in public schools you can teach that homosexuality is OK, but you better not use the word God in the process; you can kill an unborn child, but it is wrong to execute a mass murderer; we don’t burn books in America, we now rewrite them; we got rid of communist and socialist threats by renaming them progressive; we are unable to close our border with Mexico, but have no problem protecting the 38th parallel in Korea; if you protest against President Obama’s policies you’re a terrorist, but if you burned an American flag or George Bush in effigy it was your 1st Amendment right.

        You can have pornography on TV or the internet, but you better not put a nativity scene in a public park during Christmas; we have eliminated all criminals in America, they are now called sick people; we can use a human fetus for medical research, but it is wrong to use an animal.

        We take money from those who work hard for it and give it to those who don’t want to work; we all support the Constitution, but only when it supports our political ideology; we still have freedom of speech, but only if we are being politically correct; parenting has been replaced with Ritalin and video games; the land of opportunity is now the land of hand outs; the similarity between Hurricane Katrina and the gulf oil spill is that neither president did anything to help.

        And how do we handle a major crisis today? The government appoints a committee to determine who’s at fault, then threatens them, passes a law, raises our taxes; tells us the problem is solved so they can get back to their reelection campaign.
        What has happened to the land of the free and home of the brave?

      81. “Thus, they have spent the better part of this crisis training the National Guard to respond to mass riots, along with coordinated exercises that involve local law enforcement and military forces.”

        This caught my eye, real quick…The National Guard station/building in my home town has been closed down for years…now its back up and running…imagine that…

      82. @;0P,

        I MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT !!!

      83. Thoughts to Ponder:
        Ammo manufacturers in the USA average around 10-12 BILLION rounds per year.
        Why are we having a shortage?
        The DHS maximum purchase order amount of 1.3 billion should not have created the current shortage.
        What is the other hand doing?

      84. There is a way that can stop the police ,military,and national guard from imposing there force apon the people and it can be done peacefully.Remember we are the slaves to the system and the police etc. are the enforcers of that system, so all we have to do is stop working for them.It is a matter of will power but if we stopped loading the the planes with luggage and fuel planes won’t fly.Do the same with ships in others words no loading or unloading.Sure we will run out of food and fuel but so will there families and friends and we could put the whole country on its knees and if we help each other to some water and food we could hold out better than them because we have been there many times before but they have not.We must not give in to them because they will only kill many of us if we tried it any other way.
