Do they keep a list of preppers then?

That said I can see the powers that be taking over warehouses/supermarket distribution centres; far easier in terms of manpower than hitting individuals.

During the War Harry large groups of officials were sent out to every farm, dairy and food producer to itemise their stock down to the last pig and egg. Any food produced over and above what the family needed was procurred for the state and "marked". Anyone supsected of hoarding had their food stocks seized, including normal citizens. I agree that they probably don't have a list of preppers, but the power the state can muster in a time of emergency would make the task of finding these people relatively easy, so a sensible dose of paranoia might be prudent--- sensible being the operative word. The situation in Venezuela is becoming seriouse, with the government now starting to use food rationing as a political tool, favouring "party members" and apparachniks, dividing an already stressed population. From our standpoint on the forum we might gain some usefull information as to the direction a system breakdown takes.
