The obvious concern is this internal central-government military force gearing up for a major war. There is absolutely NOTHING on the horizon to justify this … UNLESS they plan on STARTING a war within the continental USA. Now who would they be planning to fight?
Sadly, it is you, me and everybody like us. They say so themselves.
A study funded by the Department of Homeland Security that was leaked last year characterizes Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right-wing” terrorists.
By “happy coincidence”, from their perspective, this new massive purchase will further aggravate the shortage of ammunition and ammo-reloading components that has accompanied the public reaction to the currently escalated war on the 2nd Amendment to our constitution and those who revere it.
How much more can they do? Geeze, don’t ask that, cuz sure as shootin’ they will do it. SHOWTIME is right there hanging over our heads waiting for the thread to snap.

(Info Wars – source article here with links.) – The Department of Homeland Security is set to purchase a further 21.6 million rounds of ammunition to add to the 1.6 billion bullets it has already obtained over the course of the last 10 months alone, figures which have stoked concerns that the federal agency is preparing for civil unrest.
A solicitation posted yesterday on the Fed Bid website details how the bullets are required for the DHS Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia, New Mexico.
The solicitation asks for 10 million pistol cartridge .40 caliber 165 Grain, jacketed Hollow point bullets (100 quantities of 100,000 rounds) and 10 million 9mm 115 grain jacketed hollow point bullets (100 quantities of 100,000 rounds).
The document also lists a requirement for 1.6 million pistol cartridge 9mm ball bullets (40 quantities of 40,000 rounds).
An approximation of how many rounds of ammunition the DHS has now secured over the last 10 months stands at around 1.625 billion. In March 2012, ATK announced that they had agreed to provide the DHS with a maximum of 450 million bullets over four years, a story that prompted questions about why the feds were buying ammunition in such large quantities. In September last year, the federal agency purchased a further 200 million bullets.
To put that in perspective, during the height of active battle operations in Iraq, US soldiers used 5.5 million rounds of ammunition a month. Extrapolating the figures, the DHS has purchased enough bullets over the last 10 months to wage a full scale war for almost 30 years.
Such massive quantities of ammo purchases have stoked fears that the agency is preparing for some kind of domestic unrest. In 2011, Department of Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano directed Immigration and Customs Enforcement to prepare for a mass influx of immigrants into the United States, calling for the plan to deal with the “shelter” and “processing” of large numbers of people.
The federal agency’s primary concern is now centered around thwarting “homegrown terrorism,” but information produced and used by the DHS to train its personnel routinely equates conservative political ideology with domestic extremism.
A study funded by the Department of Homeland Security that was leaked last year characterizes Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right-wing” terrorists.
Allow me to reiterate. IF you are somewhat familiar with the Constitution of these United States, knowing that the federal government is subordinate to state and local authority, and that this country was designed specifically to be reverent of individual liberty, you are herein declared to be am “extreme right-wing” terrorist… and of course that means these guns and ammunition are for you (in their minds, bullets only, but perhaps justice will prevail and they will indeed be for you to use as defensive weapons).
In August 2012, the DHS censored information relating to the amount of bullets purchased by the federal agency on behalf of Immigration & Customs Enforcement, citing an “unusual and compelling urgency” to acquire the bullets, noting that there is a shortage of bullets which is threatening a situation that could cause “substantial safety issues for the government” should law enforcement officials not be adequately armed.
As we highlighted last month, the DHS’ previous ammunition solicitation was awarded to Evian Group, an organization that was formed just five days before the announcement of the solicitation and appeared to be little more than a front organization since it didn’t have a genuine physical address, a website, or even a phone number.
Again transferring wealth to the insiders. Again no investigative journalists alive in mainstream media. The only truth left in reporting is here on the Internet.
While Americans are being browbeaten with rhetoric about the necessity to give up semi-automatic firearms in the name of preventing school shootings, the federal government is arming itself to the teeth with both ammunition and guns. Last September, the DHS purchased no less than 7,000 fully automatic assault rifles, labeling them “Personal Defense Weapons.”
Notice the Orwellian New-Speak here. When we buy semi-auto rifles for self-defense, they are “assault weapons.” When these guys gear up for a full-blown assault on our lives, liberty and property with FULL-AUTO rifles, they are now innocuous little “Personal Defense Weapons.”
