So HS needs that many "bullets", eh? According to the numbers in the article, that´s OVER ONE HUNDRED YEARS usage! Nah, they´re not stockpiling.

It doesn´t matter. Mark Levin said! La la la la...

I don´t see any "debunking" in the article. Do you?

Thanks OP, for all the repeat Sarah articles. I like to be reminded of her. She is the best hope I have seen for a country truly in a state of disarray.
As for the bullets, I believed the story until I read the article this morning. It fits their pattern and passes the smell test. Now I am only slightly unsure. The fact I live with is that there is very little ammo out there, and what exists has been price gouged. Someone is buying up whatever has been made. Could it be freemen trying to stock up? Or maybe the communists wanting to hold onto power? Does it even matter?

I´m sure unscrupulous emails are put out from time to time. If the government doesn´t respond with the truth and lets the rumor ride, don´t you expect that people will become suspicious? Frankly, I think this administration loves this turmoil, because they refuse to be transparent.

Article references WaPo and Snopes for it´s "debunking" evidence. Both sources with a definite liberal bent. ´Nuff said.

The comment did succeed in getting her back into the news, didn´t it? If she has a concrete plan for dealing with this situation, I´d be happy to hear it. Otherwise, I´ve been hearing the same prediction since last summer, so it´s a bit old hat at this point.

This stockpiling reporting goes back to 2012. See the article: "ammo? what ammo? DHS takes unprecedented step of redacting mass ammunition purchase" from lewrockwell.com/slavo/slavo115.html, which was reprinted in turn from SHTFplan.com. The "redaction" follows on the widespread reporting of the DHS purchases of various kinds and quantities of pistol and rifle ammunition and can be accessed by searching the internet. The specification sheets to the suppliers are available for inspection. There appears to be an attempt to deny the written records of last year, and to discredit Mrs. Palin in the process. The record of DHS paperwork will not go away however.

I neglected to list the date of the "lewrockwell.com" report on DHS ammunition acquisitions. It is August 17, 2012.

You mean the former Governor who warned of DEATH PANELS ?

Soory, pushed "send" prematurely. Palin was right too.

Read the article twice.

Apparently, the author believes that WAPO is more qualified to assess motives than Palin, and like WAPO, sees nothing unusual in buying the next century´s practice ammo....all at once....during a budget crisis....while trying to keep arms and ammo out of the hands of taxpayers.

Sorry...I figure Palin is right on this one, just as she was on "Death Panels".

And another thing....W.W. Ayers is Obama´s ghost and mentor...Ayers has stated his willingness to kill about ten percent of us in order to have the sort of society he would like. The various federal agencies are just ordering the ammo for the task.

it would be nice to get a Sec.of State that cares about America for a change...huh??

They didn´t believe Sarah about death panels either. I would trust her any day over what we call elected officials.

I wish she would go back to watching Putin from her kitchen in Wassilla. Everytime she does s poorly considered "me too " blast on facebook she reduces her credibility and starts to look like a crackpot instead of a smart potential leader of our country.

I don´t think the questionable part of Mrs. Palin´s claim is the government´s purchase of lots of bullets so much as her implication that the purpose is to use them against citizens. Against "civil unrest". Does she have a source for that charge? If not, it´s pretty irresponsible of her to make it.
