Stickers on a container or not, It doesn't tell us the reason why they are buying so much ammo.

If its used for War or for us, either way the future doesn't look to bright.

"One of the targets that Yankee imperialism has in its sights is Iran, which is why we are showing our solidarity," Chavez said during a joint press conference. "That hill will open up and a big atomic bomb will come out," he said of a hill next to his Miraflores Palace. "When we meet, the devils go crazy," he said, mocking US warnings that Latin American nations should not help the Islamic Republic. Ahmadinejad concurred: "Despite those arrogant people who do not wish us to be together, we will unite forever," he said. The two men hugged, beamed, held hands and showered each other with praise. "President Chavez is the champion in the war on imperialism," Ahmadinejad said.

South Florida namely Miami is where International flights to South America takes place. I know Mexico has now decided to create a Mexican CIA in order to use US troops to fight drugs in Mexico. But that would be supplied through Texas or one of the other neighboring states. This means the equipment and ammo moving into South Florida would be for South of Mexico. Columbia? Peru? Maybe cleaning up Brazil for the future Olympics? Venezuela has been working with the US recently to fight drug cartels?

Why worry about it,.
There will be nothing anyone can do if the government really is planning something
And if something does come from this, deal with it when the time comes.

Can I ask how you came to the conclusion those are ammo conexes?

I went to 55B School before going to delta school which the MOS has changed since but I have never seen ammo conexes nor have we ever stored them like that without placards and to top it all off where are the security personnel for transport of said ammo? BTW 55B was ammunition specialist that would be the ones responsible for shipping such items.

I bet they are either empty or have equipment in them. I have seen plenty of those. They look new so I bet they are empty. Motor pool and all supply uses them. They are nothing but storage containers.

They are called TRICON 2 storage containers all purpose.

I know for a fact it is against regs to transport ammo in that fashion.

There were not even any locks or chains on the doors. Way to go this is what I call fear mongering. Not even a good attempt either.

It most liklely has to do with the DHS / Florida Law Enforcement training exercises that were conducted over the last week +/-. Texas has an ongoing training exercise as well.

Shouldn't those have placards on them to ID as haz-mat? I'm serious and seem to be finding conflicting information. I hauled sporting goods for a few years for a major national chain and never had to placard because amounts of black powder, primers and ammunition were within very specific (and very low) weight thresholds for transport within the same container/vehicle.

I could have sworn a big container like that stuffed with ammo would need something to indicate the haz-mat nature of what it carries? Even the cases sold at the local pawn shop have mini-placards on them to reflect what they contain to the people handling them for shipping?

The Hazard Class for small arms ammo is 1.4S. With 1.4 class, you only placard when the explosive weight is over 1000 pounds. To be clear, that is not the weight of each bullet, but the weight of the explosive content of each bullet. To reach 1000 pounds would take way more bullets than can fit on or in a standard tractor trailer, which is why there is no placard. The "S" identifies that the explosive contained in an item is very safe and that there is no significant threat or danger of it going off. For more info if interested, see the 49CFR.

Ah yes here we ago again. Same story just change the names Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama, the UN, NWO, FEMA, Homeland Security. Always with the same proof, ammo, troop movements, martial law signs, camps that can never be confirmed and in the end nothing ever happens. Why, because what the hell would be the point? No point and never gonna happen. I will remind you all of this when it is the next President etc.

This is how I transported munitions in the military notice there are no connexes .



The bottom are the beds that come off the above vehicle called a PLS. Palletized Load System .

Munitions have to be properly strapped down and tarped(covered) for transport. You cannot use connexes(those storage containers) due to the inability to secure them properly.

You know, I'm with Grinpachi and MrSpad (btw, your name is super hard to read with thr text/background color! - or, its my crappy phone.)

Anyhow, I've gotten to the point with FEMA camps and dollar crashes, etc., all sounding more ridiculous to me all the time.

The caveat - does that mean their grand plan is working? I've become numb and am just not buying the hype anymore?

But...I was reading that gangstalking thread the other day and realized that maybe just about anything can be made to seem real as people see the patterns around them and begin to make connections which can seem to make logical sense. The internet seems to be magnifying this effect, where millions of minds are networked together, finding patterns and piecing together clues - often to some longstanding conspiracy which, simply by the belief in it of so many, can "self-confirm" much of the data, clues, whatever, further re-inforcing the idea.

Anyhow, it hasn't happened yet , and I bet if I assumed the whole "thing" was exactly as it seemed, no dark, ulterior motives, I would find ample evidence of such as well, especially if I was linked to millions of kinds thinking and working on the same question. Belief and the power of belief.. we can choose our reality. The present, if not the future

Ammunition technician...

Very basic rundown

Hazard class
1.1 - Mass explosion hazard (for example bulk explosives)
1.2 - Projection hazard (for example rockets)
1.3 - Fire hazard (for example incendiaries)
1.4 - No significant hazard (for example small arms)

Some compatibility groups
B - Primary explosive like detonators etc.
K - Toxic
S - No significant hazard
G - Pyrotechnics
D - Explosives such as C4, Semtex

Then you join them together. 1.4S are things like small arms, 1.4G may be smoke grenades, 1.1B detonators, 1.1D C4/semtex.

No point going into colour codes.

Ammunition can be shipped in those containers. Yes they should have placards if the net explosive quantity (NEQ) is over the limit for that hazard class. Normally anything with 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 will be placarded. Some vehicles do not require placards for example EOD vehicles.

I feel your spreading disinformation unless you have proof of links or something don't state things like this all your doing is fear mongering ...

its funny though how they want to take our guns away but want to buy more for themselves sounds like a hitler movement again we wolnt fall for it us the people of the USofA will call upon another country if we have to... to help us win the fight against a world renowned EVIL government...

not just us the people want a new system... but there are many MANY other country's that want to see our regime replaced
