Homeland Security Pre-Staging A Domestic Military Force
SHTF Plan ^ | 3/10/14 | Ken Jorgustin

Posted on 03/10/2014 7:07:24 PM PDT by Kartographer

During the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, the U.S. Army built 28,000 MRAPs (Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected Trucks). Now the U.S. Army has announced that it is giving 13,000 of them away, for free. Who’s receiving the trucks? Homeland Security and U.S. Law Enforcement.

Instead of mothballing these MRAPs, Homeland Security is evidently pre-staging a domestic army of militarized agencies, police and law enforcement.

While Police and agencies say that all this military equipment from DHS grants will only be used against crime, the trust in many American alphabet agencies has been broken – now that we know some of the extent at which they are using technology to monitor and probe its own citizenry. DHS and many others, they’re stockpiling.

I cannot believe our Governors are allowing this crap to be driven on American soil.
These are War Machines! Get them off Civilian land and out of Civilian Hands.

Molotov Cocktails have been known to stop armored vehicles.

Looks like they have too much of ‘our’ money already...

And when the time comes we’ll all know where the enforcers live!

Is there a radiator behind that grill in the front of the vehicle? Would a S&W 500 Magnum round or two penetrate it?

“...all this military equipment from DHS grants will only be used against crime...”

And in Connecticut it is a crime to own an unregistered “assault weapon”. In NY State it is a crime to have more than seven rounds in a magazine in your weapon. In California it is a crime to own ANY unregistered firearms.

These vehicles proved worthless in Afghanistan against an enemy that goes low tech or no-tech. Just sayin.

Soetoro-Obama will soon have his own private Army:

” - - - Now the U.S. Army has announced that it is giving 13,000 of them away, for free. Who’s receiving the trucks? Homeland Security and U.S. Law Enforcement. - - - “

they still have to leave the trucks and go home to sleep... sometime

when the SHTF, they are surrounded by us and unless they all live on compounds, it won’t work out well for them

I;ll reiterate something I pointed out, before. This ain’t Iraq, or A-stan. The people that would be driving those things don’t live behind wire and machine gun pits. They live next door to you and me, they shop at the same stores, and send their kids to the same schools. The easiest way to defeat a weapons system is to kill its operators; preferably in a way that deters others from wanting to operate them.

Oh look, the long-range goal comes out of the closet.

Come on Travis don't you remember those Boston FReepers who were made to feel so safe after the Marathon Bombing by having these vehicles running up and down their streets and have militarized cops in full battle gear going door to door.
