On Saturday March 23, Terry M. Hestilow, a retired Army officer with nearly 30 years of service under his belt, posted this letter he sent to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) this week. Hestilow wants DHS to hand over their war weapons to the Department of Defense.
The Honorable Senator John Cornyn, State of Texas United States Senate 517 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510
Re: Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and that agencies preparation for war against citizens of the United States of America
Dear Senator Cornyn,
It is with gravest concern that I write to you today concerning the recent appropriation of weapons by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that can only be understood as a bold threat of war by that agency, and the Obama administration, against the citizens of the United States of America. To date, DHS has been unwilling to provide to you, the elected representatives of the People, justification for recent purchases of almost 3,000 mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) armored personnel carriers, 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition (with associated weapons), and other weapons systems, when, in fact, the DHS has no war mission or war making authority within the limits of the United States of America.
Significant is the fact that at the same time the Obama administration is arming his DHS for war within the limits of the United States against the People of the United States in accordance with his 2008 campaign speech claiming,
We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that weve set. Weve gotta (sic) have a civilian national security force thats just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded [as the United States military]Candidate Barack Obama, 2008......

The Cayman Islands probably won’t let you look at those accounts.
Dallas? Have you ever been to Texas? They wouldn’t last 2 days here.
Anyone here ever use a MRAP??? I have a question, how far can it go with the tires shot out and how fast can it go with the tires shot?
Do the MRAPs have XXL AC units onboard...for the Texas heat? I can just see seven guys in the back of a MRAP for a 45-min drive there in Dallas, and arriving at the urban warfare scene....piling out of the back and in need of an ambulance immediately for heat dehydration. The on-scene guys would just call for a second MRAP to come out then (true stupidity).
...and surrender their ammo to civilian distributors.
Much less Tucson, Miami, Biloxi, El Paso or Las Vegas.
I showed the video of Bammy saying it to my BIL and his commie NEA wife after they denied he said it.
Result? a shrug. Reply? Along the lines of “Well, it must be a good idea if he wants to do it”.
She’s a Jew that makes a pretty big deal about her religion, so one would think she had a better understanding of history. I asked her if she thought it would have changed things had all the German Jews not been disarmed (note that she wants no private citizen to own guns). If they were to die, wouldn’t it have been better taking a couple of Brownshirts with them instead of going to the death factories?
Well, yeah, I guess you have a point says she. 24 hours later she’s back to 100% support of the fascists in DC. Hopeless.
absolutely! how can we citizens join this letter as a petition? obama has no authority under the constitution to organize such a militancy group, nor should he be allowed to do so. there should be some way that we, the people, can demand that he stand down, or be impeached.
The real question is, what caliber is necessary to shoot out those tires?
Signing a petition at this stage just puts your name on a target list. Look at this:
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

Our MRAP in Iraq had awesome AC. The bad part was the blast furnace heat when you open the door made us reel back every time. I’d have rather turned it off if we’d had better ventilation than the gun turret.
“Anyone here ever use a MRAP??? I have a question, how far can it go with the tires shot out and how fast can it go with the tires shot?”
Tires are run-flat. Filled with some kind of rubber foam I guess. However, a 3 ft. deep ditch across the road would stop the truck and put everyone inside on foot if they want to continue the mission. Pretty easy to block them if their movements are known in advance.
With 30,000 drones providing close air support you won’t get close enough for that.
Besides, if you’re close enough to throw that concoction you’re WAY close enough for them to just shoot you.
I have to wonder if they can withstand 66KV or maybe even a D8?
If I were to be part of an occupying enemy force, I definitely wouldn’t want to venture too far out into the American wilderness. They may take the major urban liberal sh!tholes, but that would be about as far as they would get.
All 45 Republican Senators voted for the Cruz/Lee Amendment to defund Obamacare but it failed because all Democrats voted against it.
The Bill that Cornyn and 19 others supported, including McConnell, was the Continuing Resolution which does include funding for Obamacare. Five of the nineteen are up for re-election in 2014: Alexander, Cochran, Collins, Cornyn and McConnell.
The Nazi like brown shirts have now been armed to the teeth. CWII will fail to return America and the DHS is the communists storm troopers that will have taken America.
Just remember the various resistance groups in Europe during WWII armed themselves primarily from the resources of the Nazi’s.
when you have a free moment, read up on the French commune...

We might see a big crackdown on local and state public corruption ahead. DHS has been involved in more activities with them in order to record data and learn more about them in advance. Same with the dronesnot feasible for bothering with a single family or individual for a minor regulation but certainly doable for busting local official criminal activities (e.g., federally illegal surveillance).
Interesting on the French commune. Susan B. Anthony and her friends were readers and devotees of a man who has been called the first communist: Charles Fourier. He designed a type of commune with many bizarre details.
