Sarah Palin Says Feds Are Stockpiling Bullets For Civil Unrest
Market Daily News ^ | February 28, 2013 | Paul Joseph Watson

Posted on 02/28/2013 11:44:09 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin has warned that the federal government is “stockpiling bullets” in preparation for “civil unrest,” adding that America is “finished” if it cannot deal with its debt problem.

Writing on her official Facebook page, Palin remarked, “If we are going to wet our proverbial pants over 0.3% in annual spending cuts when we’re running up trillion dollar annual deficits, then we’re done. Put a fork in us. We’re finished. We’re going to default eventually and that’s why the feds are stockpiling bullets in case of civil unrest.”

The post achieved nearly 12,000 ‘shares,’ attracting nearly 60,000 ‘likes’ and over 4500 comments.

The Department of Homeland Security has committed to purchasing around 2 billion bullets over the course of the last year, in addition to buying 7,000 fully automatic assault rifles last September (the agency referred to them as “personal defense weapons”).

Although the mainstream media has played down the purchases as the feds merely saving money by buying in bulk, the ammo buys have contributed to shortages across the country.

However, concerns were further stoked last week when Law Enforcement Targets Inc, a DHS contractor that supplies shooting targets to the agency along with thousands of police departments, was forced to apologize for producing “non-traditional threat” targets which featured images of pregnant women, children and elderly gun owners in residential settings.

Politico published an article following Palin’s Facebook post bizarrely claiming that her concerns about the federal government purchasing ammo in large quantities had been debunked despite admitting that “government agencies are, in fact, purchasing large amounts of ammunition.” This tactic of admitting that the government is purchasing a huge number of bullets while simultaneously portraying anyone concerned about the fact as erroneous and paranoid has been adopted by other mainstream media outlets....

She's right...as always. Sarah Palin is a savvy observer of what's transpiring under the corrupt Obama regime and we best heed her warnings, taking prudent, proactive measures for the coming dire days ahead.

May God continue to Bless this remarkable patriot, a champion of American Exceptionalism.

No great insight on Palin’s part. She is just stating the obvious.

Sarah is wrong.

How so?

I think she's extremely well informed and is privy to data that is suppressed by the lamestream media. Her love of America is unquestioned and I believe, much like Paul Revere, she's letting "We the People" know about the looming crisis. Obama and his evil sycophants will use all available resources to turn our land into a socialist state, at best, and a Muslim-centered theocracy at worst. I, for one, will not be dismissing the clear warnings now being issued by Mrs. Palin.

This information was in print well before Palin said anything. It was old news by then.

I don't disagree with her or the original stories but it doesn't take a political genius to figure this stuff out.

So who in Homeland is going to fire on civilians Sarah? Who in our government are you calling potential Nazis ? The National Guard ? Local law enforcement? The capital police? The Marines ? Or secret black helicopters with Men in Black willing to act as Obamas pratoreon guard?

Quoting Governor Palin We’re going to default eventually and that’s why the feds are stockpiling bullets in case of civil unrest.”

Have you ever lived through civil unrest in America, seen many thousands of paratroopers and marines at the ready guarding choke points and bridges, been sent to a detainment center without food or beds, held with many thousands and thousands of other people?

Obama is driving out the good men from the ranks of the military and replacing them with sodomites and Muslims. It's quite plausible -- in fact inevitable -- that firing on civilians will occur. As was the case in Germany, Hitler molded the Wehrmacht to achieve his diabolical ends. In his crafty way, Obama (the Hitler of our times, a fascist in every way) is transforming our once proud and patriotic military and law enforcement agencies into one that can and will suppress real Americans. Sarah Palin is sounding the alarm.

You know how rare and refreshing it is to find a politician who states the obvious?

Palin is gold dust.

Are you saying that such a scenario is impossible?

So who in Homeland is going to fire on civilians Sarah?
They have proved their loyalty to their union, their jobs, to butch Janet.
Who in our government are you calling potential Nazis?
All union employees.
The National Guard?
No, they are patriots.
Local law enforcement?
There will be a divide in police forces across the country. Some will be union thugs, and others will be patriotic Americans.
The capital police?
Without a doubt.
The Marines?
All but the top brass will comport themselves as the patriots they are.
Or secret black helicopters with Men in Black willing to act as Obamas pratoreon guard?
Drones, and a new generation of mercenaries.

It boggles that you think this administration benign.
