"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set.
We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." - Barack HUSSEIN Obama at campaign rally in Colorado Springs, CO on July 2, 2008
Source: Obama’s ‘National Security Force? - FactCheck.org’
I find it very odd that factcheck.org says that these "security" related statements made in Obama's campaign speech where he talked specifically about expanding AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps and the USA Freedom Corps should be taken in the context of what those organizations do, however, when I read the speech that they published in their link below, I find these "security" statements, while in the middle of his speech talking about expanding AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps, have nothing to do with the objective of these organizations. (Am I wrong?)
These two statements read like a subliminal message embedded in the middle of an innocent subject (like the old SNL Mr. Subliminal (slut)skit). No where before or after these two sentences does Obama's speech ever make a statement that links "security" needs to the Peace Corps and the USA Freedom Corps.
Someone tell me if I have my tinfoil hat screwed on too tight. Seriously, I'm open to different interpretations/opinions.
Not that we have a snowball’s chance in hell of a truthful answer but has the question of these purchases ever been raised during the daily WH press briefings?
Seems like a simple question; “Why are so many departments like SS, EPA, even NOAA..... buying large quantities of ammunition?”
I know for a fact earlier this year the EPA was looking to hire 200+ people but they had to have a pistol permit.
IMO this is Obama, attempting to have a domestic police force equal in strength to our military. Why do I believe this? Because in his own words he told us that is what he wanted. No amount of spin can hide the fact that is what he said. He simply did not define how he was going to accomplish it but now we know.
If a citizen who enjoys shooting finds a 1,000 rounds on sale and buys it, he suddenly has a “arsenal”. Any hint of paranoia is grounds for concern.
The only reason that government would buy 1.4 billion rounds of ammo is those in charge are paranoid against irate citizens. But happily in November, the ballot box has absolute power over their ammo box, if only a sufficient number of citizens would vote and vote to throw these socialists out.
These government agencies might be buying all this stuff up because they could not hit the ground if they fell, and need the practice???
All kidding aside, I would think this is due to the fact that the elections are coming up and they want to get stocked up BEFORE their expected outcome, to drive down supply, and ramp up the cost (of ammo) to the general public...
Considering the rush after Obama first got into office, I believe this is a calculate snub, of course, using our tax dollars to buy themselves enough ammo, just in case...
Just my opinion...
By George, I think he's got it!
With each story the number keeps going up, now it’s up to 1.4 BILLION............gee, that’s a lot of ammo.
It’s not like it’s needed at our foreign embassies.
If the excuse is “Training” why aren’t they buying less expensive range ammo for the task?
