sorry if this is a repost, I just heard about it.
so if you buy from an army surplus store, or buy food, water to store in case of a disaster (new orleans?) you may very well be a terrorist per the FBI. Since I am a member of the Tea party, I have two strikes. Since your on the same website as me, you may just be a terrorist as well. God save a country that brands its people evil for being prepared. I know I dont need anything like mre's of water because my government will always be there fore me... Might as well throw away the gun too.


Terrorism Update: FBI Targets Preppers and Preparedness Supplies In Latest Bulletin

If you’ve been preparing for emergencies, disasters, or economic collapse there’s a strong likelihood that you’ve been added to a watch list somewhere.

Hard to believe?

The latest Communities Against Terrorism guidelines distributed by the FBI to military surplus stores in the state of Colorado outline specific activities that owners and retail associates should look for when trying to spot terrorist related activity. Much of the suspicious activity listed describes the behavior and shopping list of any modern day prepper:

Great Deals From Our Sponsors

What should I consider suspicious?

People or groups who:

* Provide identification that is inconsistent or suspect or demand identity “privacy”
* Insist on paying with cash or uses credit card(s) in different names
* Make suspicious comments regarding anti-US, radical theology, vague or cryptic warnings that suggests or appear to endorse the use of violence in support of a cause
* Demonstrate interest in uses that do not seem consistent with the intended use of the item being purchased
* Possess little knowledge of intended purchase items
* Make bulk purchases of items to include:
-Weatherproofed ammunition or match containers
-Meals Ready to Eat
-Night Vision Devices; night flashlights; gas masks
-High capacity magazines
-Bi-pods or tri-pods for rifles

View the entire Federal Bureau of Investigation Memo [PDF]

The brief bulk purchases list described above is something you might find in the wish-list or supply closet of any serious prepper. If you are stocking up on ammo, buying extra magazines, a bi-pod and night vision then you are suspicious and potentially a domestic terrorist; nevermind that you may be planning a personal defense strategy for your property in the event of a widespread disaster and have no intention of using these items for any other purpose. Even if you are stockpiling the most basic of all preparedness lists, like MRE’s or other long-term food storage items, the FBI now considers you suspicious.

Via Oathkeepers:

The handout also instructs surplus store owners to consider as “suspicious” anyone who “demands identity ‘privacy’” or anyone who expresses “extreme religious statements” and those who “make suspicious comments regarding anti-US, [or] radical theology.”

The “Communities Against Terrorism” flyer closes by stating:

Preventing terrorism is a community effort. By learning what to look for, you can make a positive contribution in the fight against terrorism. The partnership between the community and law enforcement is essential to the success of anti-terrorism efforts.

Some of the activities, taken individually, could be innocent and must be examined by law enforcement professionals in a larger context to determine whether there is a basis to investigate. The activities outlined on this handout are by no means all-inclusive but have been compiled from a review of terrorist events over several years.

The handout encourages surplus store owners and employees to provide information on “suspicious” customers by calling the Denver Joint Terrorism Task Force or the Colorado Information Analysis Center. This handout is very nearly identical to one issued by the FBI to gun stores from Connecticut to Utah(PDF)

This new handout expands the absurdity by now also targeting customers of military surplus stores, and by specifically targeting the purchasing of very common, and very popular, preparedness items such as Meals Ready to Eat (MRE’s) as “potential indicators of terrorist activities.”

Those of us who have lost confidence in our government’s ability to manage a crisis, and have taken it upon ourselves to store reserve food supplies, water, self defense armaments, secondary monetary exchange units, or other SHTF Planning gear have now become “persons of interest” and domestic terrorism suspects. jeez

LOL, of course I'm on the list. I just don't give two shits ;-).

The first thing a man must do to be free, is to decide he truly IS free... the rest comes suprisingly easy. But it will never be givin to you by any government.

Caucasian, Christian, member of a 3rd. party, outspoken foe of Department of Education, DEA and BATFE, gun owner, Veteran, hunter, member of more gun support organizations than most people know exist, and a favorite correspondent of Janet Reno who already had a personal confrontation with my sister and lost. List what list, if they make a list I am doing something wrong if I am not on it.

O.S.O.K.

Old news yes.

But the same crap that we've seen throughout the current government - multiple agencies.

White, Christian, Conservative = terrorist. Yep, that's their MO.

Yeah, its really stupid shit all the way around. They have something like 50 million Americans to track or be concerned with if they're watching everyone that "stocks up" on food items from time to time.

What a total waste of our money.

Well it's not our fault that 24 hours after we eat pinto, baked or refried beans we need to evacuate an 800 meter radius and extinguish all open flame sources before notifying homeland security that they need an emergency response seal team to deploy just in case. The gov is just being too damn picky IMO.

Really?

No, not really.

Lets just say that they're wasting computing time on these machines with this idiocy. How are they going to do anything about 50 million people?

I say let them try and do something about them - they will soon find that like the fish that thinks it just nabbed a juicy worm, they've actually bitten down hard on the tongue of a large snapping turtle. :firedevil:
