Obama DHS Purchases 2,700 Light-Armored Tanks to Go With Their 1.6 Billion Bullet Stockpile
Gateway Pundit ^ | March 3, 2013 | Jim Hoft

This is getting a little creepy.

According to one estimate, since last year the Department of Homeland Security has stockpiled more than 1.6 billion bullets, mainly .40 caliber and 9mm.

DHS also purchased 2,700 Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicles (MRAP).

Modern Survival Blog reported:

The Department of Homeland Security (through the U.S. Army Forces Command) recently retrofitted 2,717 of these ‘Mine Resistant Protected’ vehicles for service on the streets of the United States.

Although I’ve seen and read several online blurbs about this vehicle of late, I decided to dig slightly deeper and discover more about the vehicle itself.

The new DHS sanctioned ‘Street Sweeper’ (my own slang due to the gun ports) is built by Navistar Defense (NavistarDefense.com), a division within the Navistar organization...

Law enforcement was a problem then as well.

What is happening here?

I don't think those tanks are headed to Chicago, do you?

When that song came out, the government had already become what it is today.

Some people are late to the party and think that it is something that just sprang up in the last 20 years or so.

They don’t seem to remember or know that combat troops were forcing the new way of life of one mind, one authority, onto the people back in the 1950s and 1960s.

People have a vague recollection that suddenly Americans lost control of their own lives and communities, but it doesn’t occur to them that the force and violence, intelligence gathering, and widespread use of double agents, spies, and informants that it took to reshape the people was brutal and widespread, and it never ended.

I'm predicting that the July 1st EBT recharge will not happen.

' Why? As long as the govt can electronically manufacture Baraqqi/Bernanke/Lew minibucks, why would they stop? Only the markets will determine that point and I'd wager it's still a few years off.

. . . . Ping, TM too. Check out article, also link at # 17.

On September 13, 2012, the Dept of Homeland Security graduated its first class of FEMA Corps youth, aka the Homeland Youth.

October 7, 2012. Vicksburg:

The federal government calls them FEMA Corps. But they conjure up memories of the ... 1930's Germany. Regardless of their name, Obama's Dept of Homeland Security has just graduated its first class of 231 Homeland Youth. Kids, aged 18-24 and recruited from the resident's AmeriCorp volunteers, they represent the first wave of DHS's Youth Corps, designed specifically to create a full time, paid, standing army of FEMA Youth across the country.

That is why we have all the Hubbub about Pre-K education, to get the kids in the indoctrination centers soon, where they punish you if you eat your Pop Tart the incorrect way and it ends up looking like a Verboten Gun.

These things get awful fuel economy and tire life (because of the weight).

It’s gonna cost us a fortune to keep these things going as the boys use these things to commute to the donut shop.

Why? To trigger a revolt.

It is important to obama’s long term plan for ummah that the US be taken out of play on the world stage.

Iran or N. Korea; notice I said a “Stuxnet type” virus meaning I’d have to believe Iranian or N. Korean programmers can reverse engineer that type bug and send it back our way.

Yes, you were clear.

Let me be clear; do not assume it is only foreign enemies who want to destroy America.

It was Buffalo Springfield back then; it goes back to LBJ I think.

Still, I think Crosby and Young were actively badmouthing GWB, but are silent during the even worse reign of Obama.

Counter-measures for the Dept of Homely Insecurity's new light armored tanks can be found here in the comment section:

Knucklebuster | February 22, 2013 at 19:22 | 1:48. Note the can by the wheel with the steel rod coming out of it. Anything from a 9mm to a .50 through that can will lock that wheel up, creating a 15 ton boat anchor with the unique ability to go in tight circles.

Thanks, Ron, but I knew that. My point is that the DHS is composed of several specific services like the Coast Guard, TSA, US Secret Service, etc. A total of 240,000 people work in these areas. If you enlist in the military, you don’t just join the Department of Defense. You join the Army, Navy, Marines, or Air Force. So who do these pseudo military types riding around in the scary black trucks actually work for? TSA? ICE? BSA (Barry’s Secret Army)?
Here is the DHS organizational chart: http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/dhs-orgchart.pdf
What is your guess?
