There is a sheriff in Michigan arming and swearing in civilians in order to fight the Feds. This is where America is heading.
It appears the Federal Government has declared war on the citizen population. While not an official declaration of war on the American people by our government employees, you would have to be deaf, dumb, and blind not to be able to witness the arms buildup against us taking place. Two billion hollow point bullets that are forbidden by the Geneva Convention, 2,700 new armored personnel carriers, drones, the militarization of local law enforcement, 2nd amendment attack gun grabbing, DHS fusion centers, every manner of spying on us by the NSA, etc. I really don’t like the Federal Governments brand of safety, and am more concerned with personal harm from my own government than ever.

It would be nice if it didn't have to come to that, but, I honestly wouldn't be that surprised if came down to it eventually.
Interesting times indeed.

I have no idea what to think anymore, either.
Not a single day goes by that I don't read at least a few disturbing headlines; cops committing crimes and getting away with it, disturbing legislation, various rights violations, the constant attack on the constitution, insane police brutality, scandals and lies among the government and its various agencies, crazy DHS purchases, various supposedly leaked documents, threats from NK, gun control, the precarious state of the economy, etc. I could literally go on for days.
I hope everyone is getting ready to hold their own for a bit, just in case. The way I see it, it is better to be safe than sorry.
The economy is all but finished and I see the Govt. gaming up to stand against an onslaught of some very pissed off people. What would tomorrow look like if everyone woke up to a dollar being worth pennies at the grocery store? It wouldn't be pretty.

This scenario is the very reason that I prep. One of the things that scares me the most about that situation is that a far too large number of people haven't the slightest clue how to be self sufficient.
It would most certainly be an ugly scene. It's heartbreaking to think about.
Keep up the good work, Sir, I enjoy your threads.

It is getting worse that is a sure thing.
Its a vicious circle, to secure for peace is to prepare for war...
Really even hard to tell at this point who is right and who is wrong, and before anyone has a knee jerk reaction to that, please hear me out.
I fully understand the implications these events will have but who is really at fault?...we all are.
I am, you are, these sherrifs are, our elected officials, our judges, our leaders....everyone.
But i dont really care anymore, its pretty irrelevant at this point. What would you honestly expect anyone to do when they find out that there is a person/group arming themselves? Pretty irrelevant....i know what most of you would do...
So can you blame anyone for wanting to "protect" themselves?
Stories like this only serve to hasten the inevitability of these actions and then people wonder why stories and heads get buried in the sand.
I have left my remarks vague with intent because it is irrelevant. In the end, it doesnt matter which side you have choosen...
...you will still be an enemy to someone.
