Police Departments Beg And Barter
For Ammo While DHS Buys Up
1.6 Billion Rounds In Past Year

Cybercast News Service, by Gregory Gwyn-Williams, Jr.

Original Article

Posted By:ScarletPimpernel, 3/22/2013 11:14:06 AM

The nationwide shortage of ammunition has left many police departments scrambling to get their hands on the necessary rounds - with some even bartering among each other. [Snip] Police Chief Cameron Arthur of Jenks, Oklahoma says, "Ammunition and assault weapons in general have skyrocketed...In addition to the fact, not only is it a lot more expensive, but the time to get it could be six months to a year, or in some cases even longer."

Comments:
Well now, this isn´t good, is it? Is the ammo going to DHS??

Source name spelled out in full by staff

Is it true that the DHS has ordered 2700 mine resistant vehicles?.....If so, why does the DHS NEED 2700 mine resistant vehicles??

Well, Obama said before he was elected that he wanted a national police force that was just as well armed and financed as the US military. The fact that DHS buying up all this ammunition plus armored vehicles is just the beginning of his promise! Basically he´s building up his own SS to be used against us!

We all need to be asking why 0bama and crew are buying so much ammo. A lot of it is hollow point bullets, and would never be used for target practice. These bullets are used to kill, as they tear through flesh in a deadly manner. Now we hear they have purchased three thousand armored vehicles to be used here in the US. And big sis refuses to answer the question: "What are they planning to do with all this ammunition, and what are the armored vehicles for"? Is anyone paying attention?????

If Big (and I do mean big) Sis is refusing to answer questions, a huge savings would come from de-funding DHS and eliminate/consolidate all the agencies within.

Where is CONGRESS on this? I don´t see anyone calling DHS before a Congressional committee to EXPLAIN why they need all of thesd bullets, guns and Armored vehicles. Time to tell the American People what the hell is going on. It´s no coincendence that police departments can´t get ammo. I think the Obama Admin has planned it. Why can´t the makers of Bullets REFUSE to sell DHS any more and instead fill their police dept orders? This whole thing smells bad!

According to "Army Sustainment" Professional Bulletin of US Army Sustainment, Ft Lee, VA, Vol 42 Issue 5 Sept Oct 2010, fiscal year 2005 requirements were as follows:

5.56mm 1.353 billion
7.62mm linked 282 million
50cal linked 74 million
As may be recalled, in 2005 we were heavily engaged in two wars. Just who in the hell id the DHS at war with?

Look at it from our Dear Leader´s perspective-- You´ve got an Economy that is straining under the effects of "Policy" and about to tank BIG TIME (dollar plummeting while being printed at increasing pace - or vice versa, take your pick) AND an extremely LARGE group of terrorists (patriotic Bible and Gun owners - many of them vets of the military) to deal with when the "gun grab" goes into full force.

Almost 2 BILLION hollow-points and 2700 MORE armored vehicles is the logical next step.

I agree with #5 above. The current administration says the "Global War on Terror" is over. Since the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was formulated to protect the US from international terrorism, and that threat is over, it is time to deactivate the DHS and send it´s components back whence they came. Some of it´s components like the Transportation Security Administration need to be privatized or better yet totally eliminated.

It would be interesting to find out what types of departments are having trouble finding ammo and/or firearms. Blue City police departments (unionized) versus Flyover Country county sheriffs who have stated on record that they will not enforce any anti-constitutional directive from our overlords in DC.

We can chuckle at the suggestions here, and consider them as from over-active imaginations, but.....


We know it´s probably all true. The war this administration is engaged in is against US.

Think Red Dawn. (The ORIGINAL Red Dawn.... there are those in authority who will go right along with The Plan - especially after we are sufficiently demonized and dehumanized. Heard of the Zombie drills? Soon, those with the big guns will see US as those zombies, with orders to eliminate all, whatever it takes. How soon before they´re all conditioned to do so, with no remorse?)

DHS is already checking with old Army facilities that have been retired, to store their ammo (away from the population) and also to setup detention center locations.

This fits in with the FEMA purchase of body bags.

Start taking a good look at Obama´s executive orders..........

ONLY way around this is to start making a big stink about this at Congress, and MAKE them haul Janny in there and MAKE her start talking !!!

Obama is not against starting another war as it will then get the Military Out of this country as DHS then gets stronger in this country.

This is a play up for the 2014 elections. If they get the house and Senate back full, then they have full control. If they don´t then they will pull something to get control.

Obama wants FULL Dictatorship !!! (and many working for him want to help him get it)

There are, FINALLY, a sizable number of congress people who are being made aware and questioning the DHS as to why, what for and by whose order...can you believe that witch looking ´woman´ REFUSES to answer questions about this??? I have contacted my ´representatives´ on this matter several times and first they said the figures were wrong...right,...but they had no answers and no "correct" figures. I want to know why the DHS is not DE-FUNDED immediately until answers are available with justifications. If this doesn´t look like a Government ´TAKEOVER´ by force then why the ammo, the automatic weapons, the armored/bomb proof vehicles for ´DOMESTIC´ use... This administration is as transparent as a brick...

As far as I am concerned. Mark Sanford’s win over Curtis Bostic in South Carolina’s First Congressional District GOP runoff represents an unanswered prayer. Sanford continues to combine his mastery of therapeutic psychobabble with an ill-fitting Christian overlay that should be a dead giveaway, as Sanford himself all but acknowledged last night. Sanford is, of course, on a journey of discovery — make that a very long journey, involving the false modesty of the royal we: “It’s been a very long journey.

With his new prominence, Carson has apparently also riled some liberals, including these Johns Hopkins students.

Of all the arguments public-school advocates have used to hoodwink generations of parents into condemning their own children to years of state-controlled subservience training, one of the most successful is that without public schools, children cannot be properly "socialized," and will therefore be ill-prepared for life in the "real world." [Snip] The basic premise of the argument for public schools as necessary tools of socialization is that learning to get along, or fit in, with children one´s own age is a vital life skill. Is it?

The mysterious disappearance of about 30 dogs in southern Idaho has baffled animal control officials and raised concerns among dog lovers after a German shepherd was found with its head crushed in a suspected ritual killing. The missing canines range widely in size, breed and age. "The dogs seem to vanish into thin air," said Debbie Blackwood, director of the animal shelter in Twin Falls, Idaho.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
