Also, maybe just give up your guns now dude. No point in having them anyway right? It's over.
Not sure I saw that post, perhaps I wasn't a member here at that time. I am all for emergency preparedness networks, actually I would love to be a part of one. To play devil's advocate though, OPSEC is a massive issue and public forums such as this could certainly represent a seriously concern. Perhaps why you received lukewarm responses.I doubt that conservative/libertarian leaning Americans will, or indeed can, do anything. Are such Americans organized beyond a few thousand in isolated or widely separated areas?
This forum is primarily composed of like minded people spread over the whole state. Few of us have even met other members, let alone have serious contact information beyond NYGF. I have met only one member, although living in The 'Hood is limiting.
In another thread, I asked how many members had contact info for others, while obliquely suggesting it should be done. Only 1, repeat only one, member contacted me, and we exchanged phones, emails and first names.
For a number of reasons, we have to "bug in", we're going nowhere if any SHTF situation, natural or otherwise, were to occur.
Ultimately, we're alone in this world, except for a few physically close and trustworthy friends and family.
Lol. This one especially kills me: Hackers? Ok.... The internet is tracable. Everything has an IP address. Let's trace route that shit to the source. Not to mention ELECTRICITY! Kill your power kill your ability to have anything that isn't a physical lock
Haha!Apparently you don't know how the internet works.
Okay. I guess I don't.Apparently you don't know how the internet works.
Keep dreaming.
Anti drone tech? I work on infosec shit. Have fun beliveing jammers and people with 3d printers can outsmart the CIA, NSA and the Secret Service. The minitm you raise arms or cybettech against the US you are going to have a hard time being able to use electricity to run any of that tech. Tell me one type of generator that can't be scene with a FLIR device of some sort. You will just have a target on you.
The US army split? Again ypit give up your rights at that point. Go AWOL and see what happens.
MIGs o er Vietname? WTF? WE SHOT THEM ALL DOWN with F-4s...
The French restance? Respect to them but they had help from who? The United States and Britain and they were irrelevant after Normandy. Who would we have help from? Who would you get medical supplies, ammo, and food?

Some million AR owners with their tactacool shit fumbling over the CH when a platoon of people trained by the numbers are not going to last long.
Look before all you people start hating me what I am saying is be realistic. I don't like what I am seeing happening to this country but when the time.comes you best better be prepared to save you and yours and hope you can live off the land.
I get into these types of conversations a lot. Here on this forum as well as in person with many different people.
In regards to the "Coming Storm", I for one have no idea exactly what form it will come in. I do though believe that a Storm is coming. I believe with all my being that when it comes to the US, it will be a bad as it can get. I believe that the Federal Government will indeed become the real enemy of the people. I believe that there are many in the Government that cannot wait for this Storm to come in order to really rip our Rights. The Second Amendment is not even the top of their list.
Do I think that we will be able to Jam and take down Drones and the such? Nope. I do believe though that the Government will be the enemy and that now is the time to prepare for the unknown.
As for the Military, hell, I spent more than two decades serving in the Army. I have seen everyday people more trained that many in the Army. I think there are many Tacticool Civilians that are really funny to watch. Their Youtube videos are sometimes the funniest shit out there. But, there are many that are trained in many different disciplines.
Most people that I know want no conflict at all. None with other Survivors not the Military. Most keep to themselves and and do nothing more than prepare their friends and family to survive. They stock up on important items, they invest wisely and learn as they go. People that have never hunted learning that trade. People learning how to can, fish, trap and garden. People learning the old ways.
Well said.
Iraq area. What that is exactly IDK.What's this a representation of?
Add the National Guard of every State to the list along with police.A geographic area known as the country of Iraq in comparison to a small portion of the United States that the military couldn't completely control, albeit with restrictive rules of engagment, but none the less we couldn't control it all. Nor could we turn it into a flourushing beacon of democracy. This is a BIG country. Our military with full cooperation from every member, could control key points and areas, but not the whole thing. I don't buy anything you are selling in this thread.

No. Non starter. You expect local police to fight their own neighbors.Add the National Guard of every State to the list along with police.
This is a hypothetical is it not?No. Non starter. You expect local police to fight their own neighbors.
How many state troopers are in NY? A few thousand??? Nat guard? Are you kidding? Weekend warriors killing there own? I don't think so.
Of course its just hypothetical. What do you think Cpl Johnson's going to do when ordered to kill his neighbor of 30 years or a member of his extended family?This is a hypothetical is it not?
But anyway. What do you think Cpl. Johnson is going to do when his buddy gets his brain splattered right in front of him with a .308? You think he's just going to raise his hands?
I know I wouldn't if I was in. And as far as the National Guard goes, those days of just drinking beer are over. National Guard soldiers are seasoned warriors that have deployed multiple times oversees.
Lol, I like you.Depends how well he was trained.
The US government wouldn't stand a chance the minute they decided they were going to cut the power to NYC, LA, Etc in order to "get" the insurgents hiding there.I think the citizenry can wage a war (guerilla war where you shoot, run, and hide) against the US Military but if the US Military wanted to end it they could do it easily.
Rules of engagement hamstring a military but if given orders to cut the power, communication, and food and round up all dissidents into camps, it can easily be done.
Billy Bob wouldn't stand a chance.
Let me put it to you this way. The National Guard is deployed because of minor unrests. Things aren't bad yet. They are out there to try to keep the peace. A bunch of Billy Bobs decide to snipe a Soldier. The soldier's brains get blown on their faces. The buddy that they've trained with their whole careers.
The way it works is your buddy comes first. They'll see their buddy dead on the ground and come for you.
They aren't going to think politics. All they'll know it's that a bunch of yahoos are killing their brothers.
He would do as told because the order would come down after 20 or so brothers got taken out.Of course its just hypothetical. What do you think Cpl Johnson's going to do when ordered to kill his neighbor of 30 years or a member of his extended family?
And what happens when they are given incentives to stay when everyone else is starving? Many would to save their families.Everything is falling apart?
The Regular Army will fall apart.
The National Guard will fall apart.
The State Police will fall apart.
The Local Police will fall apart.
None of these groups are going to stay together long; they are all going to leave and go to their family's. A few will stick around, the majority will shuffle on home.
I know I would leave my post.
