Now we know what 0bama meant when he said he’d be more ‘flexible’ with the Russians “after the election”. 0bama is narcissistic enough to run a shadow government even if not re-elected, however.

This is like the remake of “Red Dawn” that portrays North Korea as the enemy invading the U.S. Cannot suspend common sense to even remotely believe the Russians are planning something like this when there is no incentive for them to do so and every reason to believe that the enemy is internal.

They’re going to need a lot more ammo than 1.2 billion rounds.

Well, if you believe the Jane’s report that the Russkie army could barely feed themselves. If ammo distribution is the objective, probably hand them over to every lib group but libs hate guns and as clueless to handle them. So I call bogus on this claim.

Anything is possible these days, but the reason for large bulk purchases of ammo is that there has been ammo shortage due to war time demand around the world.

This has caused Law Enforcement Agencies to draw down on their reserves of ammo till there is no more stockpile of ammo.

Ammo is more readily available now so everyone is restocking after the shortages.

Anatoliy Golitsyn also predicted this, and also predicted the fall of the berlin wall before it happened, on the basis that it was a strategic retreat. The Communists never left power in Moscow, and they never stopped their disinformation and demoralization campaign on the west.

Though, sadly, nothing these yellow-bellied communist SOBs in this administration did would surprise me.

Don’t trust: Government, politicians, “authorities”, LEO and most other people.

Yup, 1.2 billion rounds sounds like a lot, but is actually a lot less ammo one would think.

Serious shooters can go through over 50,000 rounds per year just to stay in tip top practice - especially if they shoot a semi auto in 5.56. For 5.56 competition shooting 2000 rounds per month for a serious competition shooter is the norm and that's about 24,000 rounds per year

2000 or so rounds per year is the minimum each and every LEO must shoot to keep his weapons authorization current.

I normally find Rick Wiles very level headed, but this may be tinfoil hat stuff.

Rick has no idea how much ammo is in private hands in this country.

Yes, it’s tin foil. The only thing in the article that I’m fairly certain has a basis in fact is that Valarie Jarrett is a communist.

And I believe it possible that she is Barack’s handler/liaison officer/courier. If I suddenly stop posting on FreeRepublic, add just a bit more credence to this.

America has a huge population and geography, and a physically aggressive people armed to the teeth, and besides all the gun aficionados, hunters and trained security people, there are about 23 million actual military vets.

If any people can start getting it on with forces trying to land troops around the nation after a lot of our federal political heads are knocked off, it is us.

I wonder how they plan to subdue and consolidate Texas, which is full of military units and Texans, and likewise in many other states.
