Thread: Feds raid Mormon food storage, demand list of customers

Just when I thought nothing would surprise me anymore:

As was the plan all along, the so-called "War on Terror" has officially devolved into a war on the American people http://www.naturalnews.com/034321_war_o ... _hoax.html

This was clearly illustrated by the recent traitorous passage of the egregious National Defense Authorization Act by the US Congress http://www.naturalnews.com/034302_indef ... n_Act.html

But in order to fully implement the ultimate goal of total control and tyranny, the federal government is now actively collecting the names of individuals that are preparing for the future by buying and storing emergency food supplies.

Oath Keepers, an association of active servicemen devoted to upholding their oath of guarding the republic and protecting individual liberty, has reported that federal agents recently paid a visit to a Latter Day Saints food storage cannery in Tennessee. Though they had no reason to be there, these agents allegedly interrogated the facility's manager and demanded to see a list of customers that had purchased, and were storing, food there.

Oath Keepers Tennessee Chapter President Rand Cardwell confirmed the incident, according to reports, as he is in close contact with a fellow veteran who happens to store his own food at the facility in question. According to the man's account, agents entered the facility and began demanding payment records and personal information for everyone connected with the operation.

"The manager informed the agents that the facility kept no such records and that all transactions were conducted on a cash-and-carry basis," Cardwell is quoted as saying, concerning the incident. "The agents pressed for any record of personal checks, credit card transactions, etc., but the manager could provide no such record. The agents appeared to become very agitated and after several minutes of questioning finally left with no information."

This unprovoked act of intimidation is highly concerning, but it is also somewhat contradictory. On the one hand, the federal government has been instilling fear into the American public for years, and has even made announcements urging the public to be prepared. But on the other hand, this same government is now pursuing those who are heeding these precautions as if they are terrorists.

Oath Keepers suggests the government might be trying to gather intelligence on food-storing Americans in order to later come and confiscate that food, or worse -- after all, freedom-loving patriots who are preparing for social upheaval are a threat to the power structure that seeks to tighten the noose of tyranny around the neck of society.

Mormon Cannery Raid in TN a Fabrication…
by M.D. Creekmore on Saturday, December 10, 2011

If you have been concerned about the report by Oathkeepers.org that a LDS cannery in Tennessee (the cannery was not named nor was the contact person) had been visited by the Feds looking for customer lists, please watch this video report.

This is why, I don’t get excited anymore about stuff like this… Do your own investigations because many of the conspiracy theories posted online are exaggerations or complete fabrications to get links from other sites and to drive traffic back to their “breaking the newsâ€

I fear the government now see or assume citizens are a greater threat
then from foreign sources. IMO when government becomes that paranoid
then they are doing something very wrong.

False reports like this cause many people to dismiss anything they hear on the Internet.

Some people don't realize that anyone can make up anything and post it on YouTube,
or elsewhere on the internet,
with no need to prove that it is real or true.
And some people believe all of it.

Well, my motto is "extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof", and this applies to the "911 truthers" as well.

I've never had a problem with the credibility of thier reports before. I was unaware of this so I went to the Oath Keepers website and this is what they had to say:


THIS STORY HAS BEEN PULLED

We have pulled this story about the Mormon cannery being visited by federal agents because the source of the information at the cannery is now denying that he ever told us that event occurred.

From now on, we will NOT post any such story based on what we are told by other people unless, and until, they are willing to go on video or at least on an audio recording with their info. That way, in case someone starts to crumble under the public attention or other pressures, and wants to deny what they told us, we have video or audio proof.

We get all kinds of scary intel, all the time, and we rarely pass it on because we don’t have confirming documentation. In this case, we were relying on a confirmed eye witness who is now denying it. We will not do that again without a recording.

We still welcome such tips, but unless you are willing to go on recorded record, using your name, we will not pass it on to the public, but will instead use it only for our own knowledge and internal analysis among our leadership with the caveat that it is not for public dissemination.

Otherwise, we risk having people flake on what they told us, and that makes us look bad. People who send us information often times don’t realize the kind of public attention they may wind up experiencing, or the kinds of pressures they may come under behind the scenes. Another consideration is the real possibility that a person could be threatened with prosecution under the USA PATRIOT ACT of 2001 for making public the fact that they were contacted by Federal agents demanding private records. We need witnesses to be willing to go on recording right up front so they cannot later recant.

We will always respect the privacy and anonymity of sources, as we have done in this case, but will simply not run such stories in the future without video proof AND someone who is willing to be identified in the story. Anonymous tips will be used only for internal analysis.

NO SUCH STORY WILL BE POSTED ON THIS SITE AGAIN WITHOUT VIDEO OR AUDIO OF THE EYE WITNESS(S) SO WE CAN PROVE THEY TOLD IT TO US -No matter how urgent or important the information. As far as we are concerned, without such a recording, we will not consider it a real source, but just scuttlebutt.

Thus, now that we no longer have an eye witness willing to stick with his story, we no longer have a story we feel comfortable having on our site and we have pulled this story so we are not accused of still disseminating it.

Thank you,
Oath Keepers
