They're not really tanks....From Drudge

[Uncle Emanuel Watkins]

This is getting increasinly disturbing. First the 2 billion bullets, now they are purchasing thousands of tanks. All for "Domestic" activities. Wake up people!

Okay, I'm awake. Now what?

 

[TaftFan]

Civilians can also own tanks.

You have to de-weaponize them, however.

If it had crossed your mind at any point to face one of these things in combat in a SHTF scenario, retrain yourself. Read Sun Tsu's Art of War, or at the very minimum ingrain the essential concepts into your thought processes. Also look up the Swiss Leaderless Resistance manual.

Are you thinking of Total Resistance?

I'm not finding any trace that the title you mentioned exists.

On the upside... its a good chance that half of them will defect.

Dunno what use we would have for 14000 mine resistant vehicles though.

Pull the engines to power tractors and light trucks, the bodies would make great compost containers..

Remember government is the one always looking for a fight, most "normal" folks would rather work/eat and be happy....

The way this kind of thing is resisted best is by NOT providing targets and not providing cooperation. Giving them an excuse to kill you is the worst move to make. Remember you won't be alone - if they're attacking regular civilians, everyone will be in the same boat, and everyone not on the occupation team is probably on your team.

I'm pretty sure they'll only be attacking domestic terrorists. If you know one, or live with one, report them. If you're not a domestic terrorist, stay away from them and they will leave you unharmed. News at 6.

I was thinking a coastal reef.
Or land fill to bury gvmt bunkers w/ the control freaks inside...
Could also melt them down and make tools to make tools. Most of ours seem to have been shipped overseas due to "free trade" and "outsourcing"
But yes, pull the engines. Those could be useful.

I was thinking after pulling engine and axles, stick the body out in the woods, might make a cozy deer blind.

What does sequestration mean daddy?

When the people inside go to sleep at night.

When faced with overwhelming force, don't be a dumbass and try to take it head on. The tactical answer is to know where they are and counter where they are not.

Cops wouldn't stand a chance against popular civil resistance. Their families would be dead in no time, their houses burned, their food poisoned. They wouldn't be able to take a step without someone taking a potshot at them. Cops, not being cohesive and battle-tested military units, will fall into disarray quickly as morale drops under these conditions, many will desert, and many others will defect and join the resistance.

I have thought about your post and still, like in the beginning, I find it distressing.

I think if they start dropping out it wouldn't be from weakness but from strength.

I think most people in general are in the dark concerning just how bought-off everyone is by those able to counterfeit the money supply. As the word spreads and the understanding of just what power can be derived from it people may take a look around them with new eyes. It should be the same with law enforcement. Most are very good people in general. We will need their strength to regain control.

VVVVV Embiggen the Super Dollar below if you don't have a basic understanding of the way a corrupt fiat can work against us.

Looks to me like.

Found this.

It would behoove freedom loving Americans to familiarize yourselves with the concept and theories behind leaderless resistance. It would also be prudent to pick up a copy of the book entitled "Total Resistance," written by Swiss army Major Hans von Dach. It an official Swiss manual for resistance to enemy occupation of Switzerland. Many of the concepots found in that book will serve American patriots well in the times ahead.

Downloading even a modified version seems illegal to me but check out the first page of the book they've got copied here. It is some heavy duty stuff.

Well, sequestration is an old fishing term, son. In order to get the fish to jumping, I'd get ole' grandpa to fartin' by telling him bunches of stupid jokes. For example, "How do you tell the difference between a drunk whore and a drunk horse if both are standing at a bar? Hee hee heee . . .! Anyhows, the horse is plural!"
Just when those fish expect grandpa to fart deliciously over and over, you make them suffer by sequestration by cutting off the jokes. Then to get them stupid dumb ass fish to jump straight into the boat, you tell your best joke that you've been saving for the very last:
"What do you do during a tornado? Anyhows, you go around and round! Hee hee heee . . .!"

DHS MRAP purchase debunked?

http://littlegreenfootballs.com/page/294634_Factchecking-_Obama_DHS_Purcha



More at the link.

In September 2012, it was reported that the Department of Homeland Security (through the U.S. Army Forces Command) recently retrofitted 2,717 of these ‘Mine Resistant Protected’ vehicles for service on the streets of the United States. The Department of Homeland Security has used MRAPs in Rapid Response Teams in assisting people effected by natural disasters such as Hurricanes.

Why do you need a "mine resistant" vehicle to respond to a hurricane?

I'm bumping this up because on Monday, our City Council (which I'm one of) will be debating whether or not to purchase one of these for our Police Department.

I intend on voting against it, but unfortunately, I'm fairly confident that it'll pass by a 4-1 vote.

Not really. Get two trees to hold the launcher in place and you can make it a one man operation. Probably could rig together a portable launching device for one person as well. Really just need two metal stakes and you are good to go.

Then the issue becomes mobility. Both trees and metal stakes are not that easy to move around.

Pretty much SOP these days.

One lone voice of sanity in a sea of tyranny and stupidity.

Good for you though, keep fighting.

Those things aren't tanks but somehow an AR-15 is a deadly "assault weapon"?
