In an effort to outfit law enforcement officers who work for the Federal Protective Service (FPS0, DHS has issued a small business set-aside solicitation for a wide variety of personnel protective equipment, including upper body and shoulder protection, thigh-groin protectors, hard shell shin guards, riot helmets, tactical gloves and much more.
The items, quantities and characteristics of the required gear were outlined in a solicitation issued on June 10 by the office of the chief procurement officer at DHS.
Included in that equipment roster, which had to be “Brand Name or Equal,” were:
111 Centurion CPX2500 Soft Shell Riot Control System upper body and shoulder protection, which must “effectively protect the torso and shoulders from blunt force trauma,” the solicitation said.
123 Centurion TPX200 thigh/groin protection systems “designed for blunt trauma protection during riot control situations,” said the solicitation. The gear “protects the thigh area and has an adjustable and removable groin protector.”
110 Hatch TS70 Centurion hard shell shin guards, which must provide “substantial protection from flying debris. Non-ballistic weapons, and blows to the leg.”
189 MaxPro-Police riot helmets, which have a “high impact molded half shell helmet with integral visor and neck protector.”
The protection equipment will be ordered under a one-year base period.....

What else could it be?
It could be MANY other things, like massive inflation of the currency, staged “T” event, etc. etc.
Don’t forget:
1.6 BILLION rounds.
Agree, and it ain’t gonna be pretty: “Meat’s back on the menu, boys!”
Most of us don’t go looking for trouble, but we don’t run from it either.
Start rucking.
But 101stAirborneVet, I was never in the military! What is "rucking"?
Explained here, it is essentially walking quickly, over rough terrain, with a load on your back.
But 101stAirborneVet, why in the world would I want to do that? How is that helping me to "prepare"?
One of the basic tasks (if not the basic task) of a person who finds themselves in a combat situation is to move. That means getting from point A to point B, usually with supplies/ammo/weapons/correspondence/food/water, as quickly as possible.
But 101stAirborneVet, I'm out of shape! I might have a hard time carrying food, or water, or ammo a long distance - especially during stressful times when my body will already be weaker!
That's why you need to train up now. The First Implement is your body. If you're out of shape, start getting in shape now, and practicing realistic physical challenges like strapping a pack on your back and moving 12 miles as quickly as possible. (Work up to this, of course. The above linked web site has some tips on this.)
I'll see you out there.
Good advice! Natchez shooting supplies sells good quality packs—Eagle brand, a govt. supplier—and you can get a plate vest from CTD and load it front, back and sides with 18 gauge steel plates from building supply stores. Or you could wait to build up your stamina and do your shopping when the SHTF.
Ping for your possible interest.

“You know, I have never understood why that didn’t cause more of a stir - heck outright panic - than it did”
The reason is, conservatives won’t listen to his speeches, they turn him off. My husband hated it when I listened to Obama and I would always say, “I want to know what my enemy is thinking and doing.”

"...the Weathermen, when not engaged in group sex, committed such revolutionary acts as parading with a Viet Cong flag through a local park on Independence Day and spray-painting the walls of a high school with the slogans, "Off the Pigs," "Viet Cong Will Win," and "F#$k U.S. Imperialism."..."

I agree. It's like the country was put into a trance once 0 showed up on the stage.

is the actual solicitation. Includes one base year and four option years.
As they’re being led to the ovens they’ll be screaming
“Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction!”
You mean, kind of like a supernatural trance? What else could explain his success despite his massive and disastrious failures? Obama definitely is getting help from a very powerful friend in very low places. Funny, but I always thought it was just Soros. Looks like 0 has someone 'even more' evil pulling strings for him. America has been a thorn in the side of evil factions in the world since its' inception. Looks like evil is now eliminating that thorn so that evil can finally take over.
>>You mean, kind of like a supernatural trance?
More like a medicated, obedient, stupor.

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
They’re getting ready for it.
Revelations like this convince me that the traitors on the Potomac know they can’t hold it together much longer, and that the unstoppable prairie fire of discontent will soon be lit.
I’ll bet they even know what scandal is going to light it, and when.
Oh? And what do you think he'll do with that confrontation if he gets it?
Seriously, friend. That's a death wish.
You think you've got it bad? Try being a black patriot when the SHTF.
