Description
📕 HOLD THE HOUSE ($17): what to keep at home, where to hide it, and how to ride out a blackout. Chapters 8, 12, 13.
👉 https://wadeguide.netlify.app
FEMA doesn't kick in doors. The power to take what's in your home sits with the President and your governor, and it has been used on American soil more than once. I read you the statutes, give you the dates they were enforced, and lay out what a careful household does about it without breaking a single law.
🧭 SUMMARY
Eight items, each with the law that reaches it and the last time that law was used: food (the 1942 sugar declaration), water (bottled water is legally "food resources"), medical supplies (192,000 N95s seized in April 2020), power, fuel (rationing in 1942, 1973 and 2012), communications (ham radio shut down in 1917 and 1941), firearms (New Orleans, September 2005) and ammunition (a sales ban over a snowstorm in 2010). Then a seven-step plan: divide it, leave something to find, stay quiet, shrink the paper trail, know your state's law, document what you own, and build what can't be carried off.

📖 WHAT I ACTUALLY CLAIM, AND WHERE IT COMES FROM
Hoarding law: 50 U.S.C. 4512 and 4513 (Defense Production Act of 1950). Resource delegations and the "food resources" definition: Executive Order 13603 (March 16, 2012). State authority: Texas Government Code 418.017, California Government Code 8572. Medical: Executive Order 13910 (March 23, 2020), the HHS scarce-materials notice (March 25, 2020), and the Justice Department's April 2020 seizure announcement. Radio: the FCC notice of December 8, 1941 and 47 U.S.C. 606. Firearms: the New Orleans seizures of September 2005, the federal restraining order of September 23, 2005, and 42 U.S.C. 5207. Ammunition: Bateman v. Perdue (E.D.N.C., March 29, 2012). Rationing history: Office of Price Administration records, 1942-43. Rain barrels: Colorado HB16-1005. Fire-code fuel limits vary by town; call your own fire department. I know of no documented government seizure of a household generator or household water supply, and I say so in the video. FEMA's role is coordination; the title uses the name most people know.
