Are They Arming for Riots Across America? Homeland Stockpiling “Less Lethal Specialty Munitions”
One of the biggest stories for years in the alternative media was the mysterious and foreboding purchase by Homeland Security of more than 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition.
Thanks to coverage on prominent sites like DrudgeReport, the story reached into mainstream media, prompting official spin and downplaying of the purchase.
Now, a new Homeland Security purchase order listed on FedBizOpps also raises an eyebrow or two, given the heated and divided political and social climate at hand. Just look at what happened in Ferguson…
A request for “less lethal specialty munitions” for use by Homeland Security dated March 23, 2015 reads:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intends to solicit responses to Request for Information (RFI) 20082225-JTC for Less Lethal Specialty Munitions (LLSM) for use by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). CBP is interested in incorporating commercial and industry practices that support this type of procurement. To accomplish this, CBP intends to make industry a partner in all facets of the acquisition process, specifically by considering existing market capabilities, strengths and weaknesses for the acquisition of this commodity.
Over the course of 9 pages (PDF), the technical requirements call for an arsenal of specialized weaponry for training and deployment against crowds.
On top of a wide range of gas and chemical grenades, rubber bullets and other riot rounds, the purchase calls for “controlled noise and light distraction devices,” including flash bangs which set off a 175 dB sound with 6 – 8 million candelas light bursts in 10 milliseconds.
So why are the Feds prepping to take on crowds?
Officially, the request is put through Customs and Border Patrol, a subset of the Department of Homeland Security, but it is unlikely that the equipment will be used to protect the border and keep out illegal aliens. But the riot gear and crowd control devices have many potential uses.
Perhaps, the equipment for use in instances like last year, when protesters in Murrieta confronted Customs and Border Patrol agents and blocked buses carrying a wave of illegal immigrants from Central America?
“Less lethal” includes some really wacky stuff...once saw a catalog with shotshells loaded with all kinds of “interesting” things.

I’m stocking up on the lethal kind myself. Lots and lots of it.
But they want you to disarm....
That is great news, I will continue to stockpile the opposite, just in case.
Less lethal munitions? Sounds like crowd control.
Less lethal for Obama’s children, lethal fo da crackas?
In the end, I wonder how many Police will go against the Constitution
and unknowingly give their lives supporting the revolution of Communism.
Yeah it’s not like the LA riots or ferguson happend or anything.....
It’s all about the right wing threat......
Not if but when it happens.....they will be coming for me...or I will be covering their back from my roof top....
Word to the wise....not everything is about you....
You can get all that at “Ammotogo.com”......have some neat stuff.
“Daddy, can I have a quarter? I’m running low.”
Citizens uprising over a late summer arrival of more “New Americans”, and the inevitable announcement of Obama’s third term.
“But they want you to disarm....”
My theory is that Obama and his elitist loyalists are using Obama Care, Executive Orders, Immigration, etc, to force Conservatives to do something extreme. He would like nothing better than some incidents of civil disobedience, especially if there should be some shooting taking place. Thereby he could declare martial law and issue an executive order for civilian disarmament. The trick for Obama, being that most of our military is conservative, is to convince them that those practicing civil disobedience are the traitors and not him. And, who knows? He just might be able to pull it off.
Ferguson is one more test pattern, the new world orderis upon us and if we will not willingly accept it we will be dragged into it. Just look at the bigger picture and move away from the tv set for a while. They are lullying us to sleep while they do thier dastardly deeds and when you wake up its to late. Remember pappa bush made that comment about a new world order dont be surprised when jeb............
“Thereby he could declare martial law ...”
I think anyone declaring martial law without one hell of a good reason is going to have more trouble on their hands than they anticipated. I’d guess declaring martial law would be a hell of a lot easier if two or three major American cities were in ashes due to “terrorisim”.(See Bill Ayres).
If history is any indication, most will.
“Less lethal for Obama’s children, lethal fo da crackas?”
My exact (nearly word for word) first thoughts as I read the headline.
What are you, some kind of paranoid conspiracy-nut whacko that doesn’t trust his own government? LOL :)
