Palin: Washington buying bullets for us ('We're going to default eventually and that's why feds....)
WND ^ | February 27, 2013 | Garth Kant

Imagine the worst-case scenario if the sequester goes through. The market nosedives. The economy implodes. Empty shelves. Riots. The feds hit the streets in force to restore order in a “national emergency.”

Sounds like something in a Third World country or Greece. It could never happen here, right? Think again, says Sarah Palin.

The former Alaska governor and Republican vice-presidential nominee believes the federal government is “stockpiling bullets in case of civil unrest.”

Palin says the feds are afraid of what might happen if the sequester goes into effect.

She writes on her Facebook page: “If we are going to wet our proverbial pants over 0.3% in annual spending cuts when we’re running up trillion dollar annual deficits, then we’re done. Put a fork in us. We’re finished. We’re going to default eventually and that’s why the feds are stockpiling bullets in case of civil unrest.”

The sequester will trigger $85 billion in immediate cuts to federal funding and $1.2 over 10 years unless lawmakers reach a deal by Friday.

The prospect of civil unrest puts a chilling spin on an off-teleprompter remark then-candidate Barack Obama made in a Colorado campaign speech in July, 2008.

“We cannot continue to rely 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,” said candidate Obama.

Palin’s warning echoes a WND report Feb. 17 citing radio host Mark Levin’s point that federal non-military agencies have purchased enough ammunition recently not only to shoot every American five times but also engage in a prolonged, domestic war.

Why do federal agencies need all that ammunition?

I am not at all worried about effects of sequester. I am deathly afraid of what the $85 Billion Federal Reserve is printing every month. Printing money has failed every time tried, starting from the Romans, Germany, Argentina, etc. At this rate we are not far from modern day Greece. Conditions in Greece currently are horrible. Suicides, starvation, homelessness, joblessness abound.

When one has indigestion, more food is not the answer.

Regardless of how the MSM has portrayed her, Sarah is quite intelligent and knew she could not win in the primaries with so many other conservatives running against ONE moderate.

“dissent”... you made me smile.

Yep, people would “mildly disagree” with the government confiscating houses and land.

When the EBT riots start, and the mobs start looting the suburbs, and the suburbanites start defending their property and lives with firearms...

I think everyone knows which way the FedLEO bullets will be flying.
