But the basic fact of life is that the bigger government grows and the more power it grants itself (steals), the smaller and less important the rights of individuals become. In other words, to our government each of us look a lot like bugs it just might squash.

Please don't apologize.. Your thoughts are so much appreciated and they have really made me realize things are getting a little worse each passing day. We have to support each other and give a heads up when needed! The Media doesn't tell us these things, and it is up to the good folks here to spread what they have heard, read, or seen..

http://definitions.uslegal.com/c/confiscation/
“Congress has enacted over 200 civil forfeiture statutes authorizing forfeiture for items ranging from contaminated food to the pelts of endangered species. Confiscation may occur without an arrest of a person because it is seen as an arrest of property, rather than a person, and the necessity of finding a party guilty is not required in all cases. In many cases, the guilt or innocence of the property owner is irrelevant and the government need not prove anything “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

In 2005, after a massive hurricane hit Florida, my husband & the company he worked for were fixing the Pharmacies' stores. They were using generators and sleeping in motor homes. The ARMY CORE of Engineers threatened to TAKE ( confiscate) them!( generators) It was only when they were told it was a major pharmacy being fixed that they didn't take it.. Also, when food & water was being brought to the scene by the company,, the driver almost didn''t get there, because people were trying to get the truck! And this was just one storm, and not a Katrina event. My husband was in charge of the crew there.. He said it was like a war zone.. and here they come threatening to TAKE THE GENERATORS they bought to use!

I understand what you are saying. I have been on the relief side of dissaster situations twice and it very nearly cost me my life on several occasions.

From my post earlier, the Fema and army like so many envasion starts in most of the major citys then spreads. Get a short wave radio or a ham set to listen. Somebody will braodcawst, they will not care if the radio signal is located! Just like if I need to use the radio it will be used for a very short period oftime, power it down and move. I still think the information will get to everybody in the less populated areas. My question is, are you as a american just bugging to an area? Or joining with a major group to gain our country back? This has to be answered by each of us, because it is true divided we fall, united we stand. I know many are against this slogan, the unions and labor use it all the time. But very true.
