I am with you Denob. BP777 assumes we are not prepared to do our own research, which is not the case at all. If we could at least get a starting point, one or two sites that BP777 feels are pertinent to the issue, rather than browsing the millions of sites out there. We are more than prepared to do our own research. We will then make up our own minds. Last time I checked, this forum is to share information - not to vaguely suggest a serious threat without providing some reference point. We are here to help each other, and in my mind BP777 approach is not helpful.

Thank you for your sincere and polite attention on this subject. There is much to be attained by being informed about FEMA and it's objectives. I offer you a site address: binarydissent.com/tag/operation-cablesplicer/ to read a lengthy and very indepth article on the FEMA camps and the FEMA agenda. You might also research the REX84 Program and Operation Cable Slicer and Garden Plot - two subprograms which are planned to be implemented when the SHTF. Also, there is a long laundry list of "Executive Orders", to also be implemented, among them Executive order, 10900, 10995, 10997, 10998, 10999, 11000 and 11001. Best wishes and good luck, fellow prepper. 🙂

To Girlcancan: My children are now adults, but when I mentioned them as teens, it was to make a point that while a truly good parent ASSISTS their children with their homework, he or she stops short at DOING the homework for the child, for by doing so, the child fails to learn. Period. This is a fact. Any educator will tell you the same. My point was that it's not my place to think or do research for people that should have the desire and simple AMBITION to do so themselves. But, from what I've seen it's really no surprise that the point was missed.
I taught my children to be self-thinkers and to put forth ambition in all of their life endeavors. As a result, they were honor students ALL thru school and are now very successful, productive and contributing adults. FYI, my son has attained both an Associates AND a Bachelor's degree and is currently maintaining a 3.8 GPA while doing post-graduate course studies towards his Master's Degree in Library Science. Last semester my daughter made the Dean's list with a perfect 4.0 GPA towards a Communications degree at the University she is attending. So no, they are not now, nor have they ever gotten "F's" in their school careers. Can you say the same for your offspring? Also, to attack someone by attacking their children amounts to bullying and cowardice. Since I do not know you and did not resort to this lowly means with you, it was a very undeserved hit below the belt by any assessment, and if you possess any conscience, you should truly be ashamed of yourself.

--- Now having supplied these, I seriously doubt there will be ANY attempts at follow-up by MOST of the readership on this subject. And yes, "Girlcancan", it DOES amount to pure laziness when one prefers to post glassy-eyed responses and lip service, rather than actually DOING ANY intelligent thinking or research. But perhaps I'm expecting too much considering the sources. Except for you "Coinzero". Thank you for standing up for me. You are the one spark of intelligence and reason I've seen in this entire discourse. I urge you to continue to question and research. Arm yourself with INFORMATION. Then you will be so much better off when the SHTF than those who call themselves "preppers" by doing nothing more than throwing extra food in their cabinets and then flopping in their easy chairs being totally content to engage their brains in neutral. Then they loudly whine if someone dares to come on here and disturb their quiet reverie by "dropping a bombshell" of information in their midst - such comment was "dropped" on me today by one of these, which only serves to prove my point. And even if I had sooner supplied "points of reference", it's obvious that argument is so much easier than checking it out. That would require too much effort. So gosh, how dare I disturb the dust by attempting to inform??? What was I thinking??? But don't worry, it won't happen again.

It's truly absurd and shocking to find people who are busy prepping but don't have the grit or desire to further it by caring or attempting to delve indepth in the world swirling around them in an effort to "arm" themselves mentally for what they (perceive) to be prepping for. It amounts to an eskimo stocking up on ice cream while failing to notice all the snow on the ground outside his own window.

This topic is very relevant to prepping activities, so I was attempting to "help" by posting it and bringing it to your attention. However, rather than being "news-hounds" it's pathetically obvious that most of you much prefer to resort to wolf-pack tactics and mentality.

I had looked forward to intelligent discourse on this forum with ambitious self-thinkers but it's obvious I had my sights set way too high. I don't care to deal with this apathy and ignorance any longer, but before I depart I leave you with one last quote from Ben Franklin, "If your head is wax, don't walk in the sun.".......

Frankly, I think collectively we would have expected the same from you. Thank you from removing yourself from this forum.

In the meanwhile, I fail to see any reliable and trustworthy sources listed above. Bring up ".gov", ".org" or sources from universities, mainstream medias, etc and I might pay attention. Otherwise, I place about the same interest in those sources as I would with links to Nimburu, Mayan Calendar, ET invasions...

Denob tried as did a number of you to bring this around, thank you for those that took that time an effort..

As BP777 clearly didn't care to deal with the board any longer, I gave him a helping hand on the matter, as I found his last posts could only be considered "troll"

FG

Although being banned, I am sure BP777 is likely still reading this thread, so here is some info I have looked into.
First of all, many of the links provided don't work.
Second, the viral video often quoted in the links that do work is one made by none other than Rev. Michelle Hopkins...I have not yet been able to find anything directly from the retired senator.
Third...3.4 million rounds ordered by the government are "training ammunition" which is non lethal...not intended to wage a 7 year war on Americans!
I still want to run down the armored vehicle thing, but I suspect it is the same 2800 chasis that were ordered as used parts and transferred to the navy...they are not and never will be the tanks that some people have claimed them to be.
As for large quantities of mre's, emergency water packs, etc...well, they (FEMA) are supposed to set up relief camps after emergencies aren't they?
Most of this is nothing new and can be reasonably explained. Many statements can even be clarified, as they have been manipulated by those who want to scare the bejessus out of you for whatever reason.
I know, I know, but we all stock up on the very same things that the US government is...
Anyways, still looking into some other things.

OK, so after doing a lot of searching, I was unable to find any US government purchases for the mentioned goods, with the exception of the training ammo and vehicle chasis.
Oddly, I'm not the only one. There are numerous postings on the net by people who have searched for them and found nothing.
Even more odd is the lack of any claim that they have been located.
If anyone knows they exist, could you point in their general direction?
I really am trying to find some proof of these claims, but not getting much luck.

it sucks this topic spiralled out like it did, I think it is interesting and deserves some thought, even thou I have been on the fence and all with the issue, just can't figure out where to place in on my possible threats to me and my family list lol not to high for sure, but still somewhere to be noted. and if it is true and all I do feel there is not much that can be done to slow, prevent or stop it from happening, but knowing about it and then seeing something happen possibly in the future could help in my reaction time to it. None the less, I did what I could to try and bring it around to reason and logic. Not to sure what's next or what everyone else thinks or agree's on, but if needs be I am ok with this thread being deleted so that perhaps it might be reborn in a better light. I have also found a lot of dead ends in my search to finding more info on this topic but if there is some out there to be found, networks are the ones to find it 🙂

I agree this topic is interesting and deserves some thought. I too did do a fair bit of research and was unable to come up with anything concrete. I also reviewed some of the other networks and it did not appear to be a concern (of course I am not a member of these so it is possible any chatter on this is reserved for members only). While I don't think it is an immediate concern, I am not sure deleting the thread is the best course of action (my opinion). I think we should keep it on our radars.

I think part of the problem is the source of the information.
There are a lot, and I mean a LOT of youtubers, bloggers, you name it that go way out there on a lot of topics, claiming end of times scenarios on the horizon from a variety of scenarios...ison, nibiru, space aliens, you name it.
Then, they get a hold of something that actually might have some teeth.
What ends up happening is their conspiracy doomsday nutter followers pick it up and blow it way out of proportion, and in doing so, push the truth and evidence so far out of view that nothing can be verified or even properly researched.
This whole FEMA thing has had some people guessing as to why.
Some think that it in preparation for the reaction to a door to door armed enforcement of Obamacare...
Still others think that this is going to somehow be part of a multinational military excercise related to the planned GridEx II.
Even a connection to an expected terrorist retaliation attack connected to an armed attack on Syria has been brought up.
In this particular case, it was Rev. Michelle Hopkins that buggered it all up.
One day after she put up that video, she posted a redaction video in which she admits that she is herself unable to verify a lot of the claims.

I do recall a couple of congressmen or senators [ dont recall who or from which house] did put the ammunition and the light armoured vehicle question directly to D.H.S.and I do remember them stating and confirming these purchases for hollow point ammo and the trucks [ they said it was normal purchasing] [ all 1.7 billion rounds]..[also an independent source I have, that has a RELATIVE working the border south of sweetgrass confirmed the ammo purchase to the best of his knowledge..] this was reported on FOX & CNN [can't recall the time line but it was about 6 months ago..[or so].....Now in all fairness, I haven't heard of any follow up questions or investigations, but I do know from my travels down south and talking to residents in various states that it is difficult to purchase 9mm and 5.56 ammo; Montana/Idaho and Wyoming residence have confirmed this directly to me.......But with all this said I do agree the conspiracy theorists do get a bit carried away with their thoughts...

Just my 2 bits worth here....
