Obama speech on civilian security force ( 0:38 )

Uploaded on Jul 29, 2008
But … this is what the 'RATs and their "Pied Piper" ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF wanted … !
Here's the transcript from Obama’s speech in Colorado back in 2008 :

The Fascists have taken over our government ... by lying, cheating stealing, intimidating, and all other means necessary to accomplish their goal.

So now, they're stealing the weapons they gave to local police forces?

Get this from later on in the article:

“Probably, [it was] one of those things where we used it for parts and the spare parts probably got discarded at some point — but again, it’s inconclusive,” he said. “But we are pretty confident nobody got into our armory and took it.

The program O’Brien was referencing is the Pentagon’s 1033 program, which gives away surplus military weapons to local police departments. In a report Friday the Cox Washington Bureau said Huntington Beach is one of 145 local law enforcement agencies across the country that has been suspended from the program. Three states — Alabama, North Carolina and Minnesota — also have been suspended.”

You got it exactly. Acorn or its subsidiary/successor organizations are ramping up.

Whats wrong with a little ‘community organizing?’

Fully automatic weapons in the hands of private citizens, absent from a police armoury , no questions asked.Perfect cover. I have a feeling that many hundreds of the weapons are missing.

So what have the police done to recover the missing weapons? Did they notify the FBI? Open investigations?

Dangerous weapons that have gone missing from a government agency ought to be considered a criminal matter until ruled out. They seem pretty blase about the whole thing.

easy start. start searching every cops house the same way they search everyone elses’ houses. they’re left to deal with the broken doors and broken/ripped furniture and damaged everything else. i suspect they’d get a significant portion back before cops’ homes were torn apart.

Yep - I know of a few cops who have a number of AKs and ARs, not to mention other weapons that they use as currency to trade for other survivalist type commodities.

Their problem is ... too many conservatives are retired veterans and ex-military, who are trained experts with fully automatic weapons; know how to procure weapons from their deceased enemies, and use them too.
Liberals are out matched on every venue when the civil war comes.

My God how gullible is the public???

Fox News is turning into a complete joke.

Anyone in a police department or military will understand this is malarkey. Rifles, pistols just do not go missing.... ... They are very secured, accountability, etc... in the entire process. If so much as a single round goes missing, then there is a top to bottom search for it.

That only happens with the CIA in foreign lands when they are actually intentionally trying to lose it.

Between this and and the warning from the Saudi’s ISIS is going to strike us. If someone starts saying you better do this or something terrible is going to happen. Then it happens......

Guess who is suspect #1???

Answer: The person who kept warning you about it. That's 101 police work. Every PD understands this.

You beat me to it as I was thinking the same thing. Having weapons sense I was a kid and owning, trading and selling hundreds of guns, knives and bows I have never lost one in 44 years. I'll bet they will reappear when SHTF and LEOs head for home to protect mom and the kids. Your sins will find you out and you will pay the price here or in the next life.

Maybe it’s time to steal the “Stolen Weapons” and “Bulks of Ammo” from the “ACORN Out-of-Towners” who were causing the riots in the first place.

“..... some of those guns have been lost “........

Well Holder got away with losing a lot of guns, why not the police as well? The number one cop did it, why do you think it can't be passed down?

Let’s just war game this scenario, and think about who stands to gain from this and who stands to lose.

Between this report and the Saudi Kind saying the U.S. is going to be attacked by ISIS. I would say expect some type of false flag event. Perhaps on or right around September 11th?

Remember Saudi Arabia wants to use the U.S. military in Syria, for that gas pipeline Syria refused to sell them, just like they used us in Iraq. Remember we went to Iraq after September 11th even though 15 of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.

The Administration wants to put DHS on the streets. We all know that famous video during the campaign about a force being just as big, just as strong, just as armed as our military. Now add all the bullets and armor purchases that everyone knows about. This new police state force will be used against all those who disagree with the Administration. Kind of like the IRS.

Now, traditionally speaking whenever we are attacked, then everyone rallies around the country. It’s just what the Administration needs in time for the election too. The saying,”Don’t let a crisis go to waste” comes to mind. Right now their tanking at the polls, and the outlook for the election does not look good. This could set back the Globalist plan. You know, the same people that have ordered our border patrol to stand down.

Now for those of you that do not believe the Saudis are behind this. Ask yourself these question.

1) How come ISIS, a radical Islamic group, would be willing to go all the way over to Europe and to the U.S. but bypass Israel??? What other radical Islamic group in close proximity operates like this???

We all know radical hate Israel? Why would they bypass Israel and go alllllll the way over to Europe and allllllll the way over to the U.S. It would be a lot easier for them to just go to Israel.

2) Furthermore, where does ISIS get all its funding? Just feeding and housing more that 10,000 troop daily is extremely expensive. Oh and logistics just to conduct military operations is extremely expensive too. Only a country could afford this.

3) Finally, why does ISIS, a radical Islamic group..., have an interest in Syria, just like Saudi Arabia and the U.S. and not in Israel?

OK,Fox before you pee your panties:

1. I don’t think M-16 is a “high-powered rifle”. I thought that’s usually considered a higher caliber, like a .308 or .50.

2. Are you sure these are M-16s and not AR-15s?

***Are you sure these are M-16s and not AR-15s?***

M-16s. I remember when Bill Clinton gave the Los Angeles police force several thousand of these. I bet lots of police agencies now have the same.

Later he also gave them bayonets for the rifles.

Here's a thought...since so many cops want to play soldier, treat a missing weapon just as the Army would. As soon as a weapon or other sensitive item is identified as missing, initiate simultaneous, full blown administrative inquiries and a criminal investigation. Lock down the department and nobody goes home until every wall locker, private auto, etc. has been thoroughly searched. If the weapon is not located or otherwise accounted for, relieve the responsible parties starting with the armorer and start working up the chain of command. Where criminal negligence is identified, prosecute.

At the bare minimum, somebody's paycheck is a little short 'til the weapon is paid for.

Cops want to play soldier? What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander...
