100,000 armed and determined men could overthrow this nation if they had the support of the majority of the people.
The US Military MIGHT occasionally shoot (it would be rare and only to defend themselves IMHO) but their rules of engagement would be so severely restricted by the pu$$ys in DC that they wouldn't be very effective.
How many of the military do you think would actually fire on our own citizens?””
A questin I have pondered. Who would follow the orders of Hussein Obama to kill their fellow countrymen?? Time will tell—option 2 that has occurred based on the historical record, is to turn on obama and exercise the right of citizens to dispose of corrupt, tyrannical government—a duty and a right of every citizen. I would much prefer a military coup led by honorable men in uniform than having to follow a fool such as the current reigning Hussein. He is stealing our children’s future with this so-called stimulus con—this is tyranny.
Fairly good movie, but the ending sucked.
Without giving away the story, in a similar situation, I would have burned the place down and killed them all as they ran out.
I share your concern.
I think it is part of his plan:
“Cloward-Piven Strategy”
From: http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6967
“First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.”
“In their 1966 article, Cloward and Piven charged that the ruling classes used welfare to weaken the poor; that by providing a social safety net, the rich doused the fires of rebellion. Poor people can advance only when “the rest of society is afraid of them,” Cloward told The New York Times on September 27, 1970. Rather than placating the poor with government hand-outs, wrote Cloward and Piven, activists should work to sabotage and destroy the welfare system; the collapse of the welfare state would ignite a political and financial crisis that would rock the nation; poor people would rise in revolt; only then would “the rest of society” accept their demands.”
“The key to sparking this rebellion would be to expose the inadequacy of the welfare state. Cloward-Piven’s early promoters cited radical organizer Saul Alinsky as their inspiration. “Make the enemy live up to their (sic) own book of rules,” Alinsky wrote in his 1972 book Rules for Radicals. When pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judaeo-Christian moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human agencies inevitably fall short. The system’s failure to “live up” to its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the capitalist “rule book” with a socialist one. “
Add Gold to the list, and my wife is deadly with the 500.
I have had one of these “kits” on hand for years, I built it up about eight years ago... they are easy to build and you just need update periodically (especially perishable stuff-Fresh Batts, MREs, water, personal meds, medical supplies, etc..). All the basics are contained in a back pack for easy carry and storage.
Separate kit for weapons, ammo, ghillie and other “tactical” supplies...
One final thought: single family dwellings with no structural organization for defense and survival outside the family unit is likely to fail. You must organize with like-minded freepers in order to survive.
You can’t eat gold and it can’t help protect you.
This is good for people to knoe and prepare for...but hardly a new thought. There are several different companies that sell these kits/bags/ buckets, (that the bucket in in full emergency use, ahs a seat to use it as a toilet.) since long before the Y2K scare.
I figure that with my guns and tons of ammo... I can get everything I want...””
If time get really tough, ammo value will exceed the price of platinum and diamonds.
The chosen one will simply call in the UN, they won’t mind at all.
Maintenance post. Sorry.
“How many of the military do you think would actually fire on our own citizens?”
Think blue helmet UN troops and ask that question again.
Given the recent reports of accepting aliens directly into the military as a “route to citizenship”
And given the largest number of these aliens come form places where the military is the enforcement arm of the National or Providence gov’t
You may draw your own nightmares.

Superpowers are not forever.....
Those blue helmets will make a splendid aiming point in the scope.
The article (amazingly) lists “Firearm(s) and appropriate ammunition”.
I think it’s in the Constitution that the military cannot be used against US citizens ... plus we’re not like some Third World country - our soldiers would not fire on civilians (Kent State not withstanding). Cops maybe .....
Any disaster big enough that cash is no longer viable, will have us back to barter. You can't eat gold. You can trade for food with tobacco, alcohol, and spare ammo.
If I recall correctly, there is an agreement that permits Canadian troops to be used to put down civil disturbances in the US. I think it was signed last year under the Bush administration.
“Those blue helmets will make a splendid aiming point in the scope.”
True! I’ve always wondered why and who picked that color anyway. Why would you have combat helmets the color of a robin’s egg?
