From the excerpt;
This event points to a new level of federal government encroachment on the basic freedoms of the American people.
Likewise, it points to a confused policy within federal agencies. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in their “Are You Ready?” guide to “In Depth Citizen Preparedness” recommends that citizens store emergency supplies, including bulk food, in the event of a natural disaster or man-made event (the new politically correct term applied to a terrorist attack). The FEMA guidance is spot-on as it allows individuals and families to be self-sufficient during an emergency situation.
1. DHS wants the names and addresses of the preparers (home-grown terrorists in their mind), so they can arrest them when the SHTF. They will also seize weapons and ammunition.
2. FEMA want the names and addresses of the preparers (easy marks to rob), when/if they need the supplies when the SHTF.
Both can/will happen simultaneously - when the SHTF. It is not as far off as some might think.
thou....the question is who authorized this action by Fed. Agents...and with what purpose? and as you say from what Agency.
Too many questions unanswered at this point...but it is curious “why” the action?
