photos or it didnt happen

Was gonna say the same thing so... Up vote.

Cheers man. Yea I'm kinda sick of all the bogey man stories I see on here with no actual proof. Pretty much like watching cnn and getting spoon fed stories and believing everything we hear just because someone said so. And OP- Tell your story, have some photos or a recording to back it up, or don't write it.

yeah this is the most trolled subreddit. you shouldnt believe a damn thing anyone says.

So you are potentially lying?

potentially...

pics please. also how do you know its a staging area and not just a place to store some new military equipmnt?

Pics?

Try and approach the gates and talk to some of the guards and ask what's going on. Hopefully they're American troops.

So it has been over 24 hours, any chance to upload those pics?

same in my home town. Thee building never has had more than 5 humvees and a few other random vehicles in the 10 years I've driven past. These last six months, it has been 90% full of vehicles and equipment. This is in the thumb of Michigan

oct 17 is da day

Oct 17th-18th calm before the storm, Oct 20th Chinese markets open and world wide sell off of Treasury bonds. Oct 21st-25th run on banks. its going to get nuts. while everyone runs to the banks ill be at the store grabbing every seed i can get.

Wow. You nailed it. Pretty much puts things in perspective doesn't it?

thats what im sayin. fuck a bank run! shit hits the fan, money is nothing but fuel for fire

I can wipe my ass with it first, then burn it.

Elaborate.

If the debt ceiling isn't raised by the evening of October 17th the US Treasury cannot issue any more bonds, so we cannot "borrow" any more money. The Federal Government will then have to default on some of it's loans which is a big problem for investor confidence.

I've read technically they have enough to make it to the 19th or so, but after that it gets extremely risky. Literally risking the stability of the entire world economy

It doesn't matter how long we can make it if we default, I promise.

EDIT: Topical China.

Yeah, thats what I'm saying. We have until the 19th or so until we default.

We officially default if there's no resolution by the 17th. That's when the bills are due. Doesn't matter if you still have money after they're due.

I'm saying the treasury has enough to scrape together to pay everything off until the 19th

Which matters not for the long con if the US suffers another credit downgrade as a result of a default.

you're both agreeing, he is just saying it may be an extra 2 days of relative calm

I know that's what he's saying, that's why I disagree. A default is a bigger deal than it's been made out.

just the government shutdown stuff

Ive heard several reports from individuals like yourself. I dont doubt it to be happening. But, personally, i havent seen anything in my area.

i live between richmond and washington dc, where there are several military bases that i pass by daily. One of which is a national guard area like youve described--a graveyard for old military vehicles. As of yesterday, nothing has changed. Im keeping my eye out, but its weird to me, being in the heart of fema region three, that nothing seems to be happening here yet there are reports everywhere else..

These pictureless spec posts need to stop.

meanwhile this at the port of LA http://imgur.com/IzbNg5c

Wow. It's getting closer!

Edit- Thank you for posting an actual picture.

Those appear to be Apache gunships by the way, AKA attack helicopters. I'm not sure what the significance of the white stripes on them is though.

Edit 2 - The white stripes might not be stripes at all, but material used during transport of the helicopters. I also don't see blades on the main rotors - yet.

http://seattle.cbslocal.com/2013/07/15/army-apologizes-to-port-angeles-for-helicopter-exercise/ I wonder if this exercise has anything to do with the current helicopters.

I live near ft lewis wa and over the past year the amount of military air traffic has been unreal. Nearly every few hours there will be helicopters flying over lacey, olympia, and tumwater.

I know a few pilots from the base and they have said the military is taking most of its troops out of Alaska and bringing them here for "training". The pilots are good people, and don't seem to have a clue about what's really going on other than occasionally going to the middle east for a few months, and coming back home to train more and collect their massive paychecks. They fly because it's fun, not because they want to fight. I have hope.

Holy fuck ....

I didn't have time to snap a pic, but i get off in a few hours and I pull over and get some pics and maybe video and upload it.

submitted 9 hours ago

pics yet? im curious

Agreed. Tis been 6 hours...

i reckon we can just wait and see

The debt ceiling will be raised, this is all political theater.

Fuck you OP

pics and video please. If you are ballsy enough to ask whats going on, do that too

Common man, next time, please just wait til you have photos.

Today (going down 71 in ohio) i saw a weird looking truck with a lone soldier driving it. It was a car carrier but it had a white tarp over it and out of state plates. I found it really odd..

Maybe lock up all of the useless eaters?

Then, throw away the key.

Yeah, then it will be only

The military.....

More troops are gearing up for Afghanistan. Could that be what they are preparing for?

Pics or it didn't happen. You had enough time to take a good look and write this shit but didn't have 1 minute to stop, pull out your cellphone and take one god damn picture? You know what? I call bullshit you lying fuck, just like all the other delusional crap on here. Go back to taking your meds and make me a fucking sandwich. Cause I know you don't have a woman doing that shit.

You could be the suicide gate running bomber who starts the whole thing off!
