Are you are the enemy DHS is preparing to fight?

In addition to stockpiling bullets, "Homeland Security" is now buying light tanks.

Who do you think these will be targeting in the future?

Will it be feasible to shrug if/when these arms are turned against the producers on behalf of the state?

      The majority of the left doesn't mind the idea of a totalitarian state provided such a government supports their political agendas.

      Unfortunately, that means they're all too willing to support the surrender of individual rights without realizing that the power of the state can just as easily be wielded against them one day too.

    In the months after 9-11, I am sure the government did threat assessments on whether there were Islamic sleeper cells in the USA.

    What they found instead, through their intrusive unwarranted wiretapping, Echelon email scanning, the DHS report-your-neighbor program, and other who knows what methods of information gathering, ... was that there were a large number of CITIZENS that didn't think very highly of the Federal government either.

    They are no longer able to sustain the government with taxes. They are not even able to supplement it via selling government bonds to foreigners anymore. The currency is being hyper-inflated, and before the end I think they are going to rob the retirement plans.

    We should not be surprised that they are ordering millions of rounds of ammunition and now TANKS to protect the country from "all enemies, foreign and domestic". They have properly assessed the level of arms they are going to need to combat the citizen rebellion that will descend on Washington DC in the future.

      The confiscation of retirement plans will start as alleged protection for the people. It will occur after the next major crash puts retiring Baby Boomers into a panic.

      The government will require a certain percentage (25%+) of 401k/IRA money to be invested in "safe" investments consisting of government debt instruments (issued by insolvent fed, state, and local governments). After all, the Fed Reserve will eventually stop QE, requiring someone to pick up the slack and buy bad government debt as an "investment."

      As inflation and unemployment rise, there will be the promise of more "security" with the voluntary surrender of your 401k/IRA funds to the government in exchange for a "guaranteed" pension (next gen of Social Security).

      The final step will be to remove the voluntary aspect of the plan. Private retirement accounts will be completely replaced with the government's mandatory pension plan in the interest of "fairness" and "security."

      For a good look at the future of the United States, see Argentina today.

    Homeland Security don't you mean Personal Government Army. To us homeland security has been a load of shit. (Correct me if i am wrong) Ever sense it was made it has just been a bottomless pit to throw money into. Have you ever seen HS on the TV catching the bad guy? The answer is no and that is because they have never caught anybody. They monitor millions of phone calls a year and not caught ONE person from it.

    In the future they will be targeting anybody and everybody with a brain or common scene. Well they would if they could tell us apart. When that happens you just got to blend in just like John Galt did living and working in the center of it. You still do all of your stuff just not in a way to let the government be aware of you.

    I took my mom to our local Wal-Mart today to get her prescriptions. I checked out the ammo department while there and the selves where 95% empty. After finally tracking down the department manager and asking when the next shipment comes in she replied "When stop (she now used air quotes) panicking about them taking their guns away we might get more".

    I don't usually buy that type of stuff there because they ask what type of gun it's for and I won't tell. Just good confirmation to use the local sporting goods store even if it does cost more.

      Local stores, including Wal-Mart, have been out of most ammo since Dear Leader decided to gun grab after the Newtown shootings.

      I've been paying a premium (plus shipping) to get mine online. More than twice what it cost before Dear Leader took office.

      You didn't verbally smack that lady and her air quotes down for that snide remark? I buy ammo from Walmart all the time and have NEVER been asked what kind of gun it's for... that's not their business and I would say as much. What State are you in? Sheesh.

        Actually I did reply to her comment. Good thing she was sitting on the floor at the time.

        I was stunned the first time I was asked what type of gun it was for. I wouldn't tell her and the very young checker didn't know what to do because I wouldn't comply. She finally just rang it up and let me go. I'm in Montana. Lots of hunters here and they used to have a fairly well stocked supply of ammo at Wal-Mart. They still have a lot of long guns in the display cases, just nothing to put in them. Even though it cost more I'm going to stick with the local sporting goods store.

          I think that's best. Help your local guy stay in business.. I really am not a fan of Walmart and avoid the one here like the plague. There are quite a number of firearms dealers in the area, and I would go to them before any place else.

          She seriously asked you what type of gun the ammo was for!? I'd have told her to pound sand. That's really NONE of their business. I am really surprised you were asked. So many hunters get their ammunition there, so it's really not like its unusual for anyone to ask for it. Dolt.

    It's getting really creepy isn't it? To answer the second question,that easy: they will be targeting boys who make guns out of pop-tarts and also call out the goon squads in response to brave boys taking a gun AWAY from a perpetrator.

      The agenda behind it is to brainwash the next generation that guns are bad. Makes it easier to gut the Second Amendment over time if tomorrow's adults have been conditioned to dislike/fear guns.

        You said a mouthful! That's exactly right. Make it a nightmare to get a gun, as well. People will eventually give up because its too much trouble. I can buy a long gun in CT, just not a pistol. It takes 16 weeks to process a CC permit, if you're lucky. It will be about 5 to hear back for the Utah permit. Bass-ackwards.

        You're spot on about that. Yes, if this BS isn't stopped, by the time I'm an old man (another 40 years) this country will be NOTHING it was during my younger years. It isn't already. I've told both my teens this and they can't believe how things used to be, and that was only 20 years ago!

    Yes that video has been posted before, but worth another go around. That battle cry sums it up pretty well, kh. To answer you questions: Us. No.

    Does anyone remember a few weeks ago the reports that FDA wanted all the cookies and pastries sold at restaurants, delis etc to have the calories listed on them. To insure that the seller was reporting them correctly all the recipes had to be turned over to FDA so that they could scrutinize them. Just think of all the restaurants etc. that have proprietary recipes....like KFC, McDonald's secret sauce, Coke, Pepsi....I believe those are patented. Sign the Gift Certificate for your patents guys.

      Whatever happened to caveat emptor? For that matter, what happened to the backbone of Americans?
      I would not comply. They can’t blackmail me. I would tell them to pound sand, close my shop and liquidate first. The Reardon protection of Dagny was noble, but short sighted. If he had not complied, and they published the pictures, they would have exhausted their leverage. I would have my attorneys threaten to expose and prosecute the blackmailers. This is the problem when nobody stands up to the usurpers. If they still insisted upon publication would it have seriously made any difference in the long run for Dagny? Of course hindsight is 20- 20, a device was needed for the story, and when the story was written the stigma was greater. In the real world the punishment for blackmail is considerable, and I always got the impression Dagny was a big girl and could have handled the fallout from her own indiscretions. Of course I have not stood in their shoes, and maybe I would see things differently. Just some random thoughts…

      those are trade secrets vs patents. it does not preclude them for disclosing most ingredients, or nutritional info. There is some compromise there -I'd have to look it up. As far as "signing a gift certificate for you patents" it's MUCH bigger than mom and pop bakers-check out my new post-
