FBI adds ‘preppers’ to potential terrorists list

[blackwolfe]

Aw crap, not another list to have your name on.  I wonder if they cross check all the list in their databases and if you pop up on too many list you get a visit.  I probably buy too many groceries ahead of time, have too much ammo, and spend too much time on net sights like this along with too many friends like Tom.  And if the government thinks I'm bad, I'm sure there are a few of my neighbors they're more interested in.  Just to make sure I'm not left out:


SCREW THE GOVERNMENT

Just one question......How do they track a cash purchase if you don't give your name? Granted, yes most of these places are smaller operations. (I'll use Emergency Essentials in Salt Lake) My friend lives there and buys quite a bit from them. He has also bought alot for me also. We always have used cash when making these purchases, simply for security reasons. We know the sales people by name, and they know us. They are definitely like minded people, and would consider them friends. I doubt that they would rat us out.

This is also a tactic we use frequently when making purchases for our sports equipment. 5-6 of us go in together to make a LARGE order 2-3 times a year. We bypass the internet thing and go straight to customer service. "We are making a huge order here, so are you willing to work with us on price" Almost always the answer is yes. We have developed a repore  with the dealers. Same with the distributors we use for prep stuff. I just don't see these places ratting on their better customers and selling them down the river. These people are business owners for one, and you don't sell out your customers, and for another thing, they understand the mindset, and are of the same mind. I just don't see them betraying fellow Patriots.

But then again, I think I may have too much faith in people sometimes.

Looks like the government is suspicious of any signs of independence or efforts to be prepared.

I expect ice makers to be added to the list soon.

Generators, and I won't be shocked if they try to limit the amount of fuel you can buy at one time. To go on a hunting trip for a week, between vehicle and gas cans, I bet I fill up with 50 gallons. I MUST be a terrorist. Why else would someone need that much gasoline?

Path understands, where we live when the sign says no services for 200 miles, it means 200 miles!

Here's the thing.....Like your debit card? Kinda nice, quick and easy right?

Well, do you think a copy of your receipt, and your purchases, just stays between your bank and the merchant?

NOT!!!

Stores use the data to compile sales, what's selling, what's not, marketing campaigns,etc,..

For one second, do you think just the "store" has access?

So if you stock up at Sam's Club, and pay with a debit/credit,,,,,Bass Pro,,,,Wally World, Gun Show, grocery store, etc,.....or those wireless RFID card readers,...at flea markets, whatever....

People that want that info, can get that info.....

Next time you order 1000rds. and 10 mags, and water purification tabs, or MRE's,.10 cans of chicken soup and tuna, MOLLE gear, who the **** knows.

 

George Orwell is saying "I told you so".....

(putting my tin foil hat back on now)....

Credit card gas purchases at St. Augustine gas stations, were limited to $75. With a company card....

Hmmmm,.....

That's why it is so easy to get a credit card, they can't track cash.
Notice every once in a while they float the idea of doing away with cash ?
Ever wonder why Govt. organizations like the National Guard only pay by direct deposit ?
They want to encourage you to just use your ATM debit card so they can track your purchases.

I just remembered I need to stock up on toilet paper. How much do you think I can get before I get labeled a terrorist?
