This is getting a little creepy. According to one estimate, since last year the Department of Homeland Security has stockpiled more than 1.6 billion bullets, mainly .40 caliber and 9mm. DHS also purchased 2,700 Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicles (MRAP). (30-35,0000 drones are on order--being built in Starkville, Miss.)
Modern Survival Blog reported: The Department of Homeland Security (through the U.S. Army Forces Command) recently retrofitted 2,717 of these ‘Mine Resistant Protected’ vehicles for service on the streets of the United States.
Although I’ve seen and read several online blurbs about this vehicle of late, I decided to dig slightly deeper and discover more about the vehicle itself.
The new DHS sanctioned ‘Street Sweeper’ (my own slang due to the gun ports) is built by Navistar Defense (NavistarDefense.com), a division within the Navistar organization. Under the Navistar umbrella are several other companies including International Trucks, IC Bus (they make school buses), Monaco RV (recreational vehicles), WorkHorse (they make chassis), MaxxForce (diesel engines), and Navistar Financial (the money arm of the company).
DHS even released a video on their newly purchased MRAPs. LINK AT WEB SITE ---Via Pat Dollard:
The MRAP featured in the video was in Albuquerque, New Mexico for Law Enforcement Day which was held at a local area Target Store. This MRAP is stationed in El Paso, Texas at The Homeland Security Investigations Office. MRAP is a Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicle.

Local law enforcement stood down. they watched as the FBI and ATF borrowed tanks and operators from the military.
Then the Fedgov moved in and killed those people.
That was reinforcement for the government - there were no real consequences.
Name 2 adverse consequences for the FBI or ATF or any of the individuals involved as a result of their actions at Waco. (One could be a coincidence and there really should have been many.)
Oye, Squantos! Mirar!
“Hey, Mr. police officers in that cool truck! Watch out for that mud hole! You got no tracks!”
“Oh, no! It’s the titanic, dude. It ain’t goin’ nowhere.” [Civilians, I tell ya...] ;-)
This is W’s fault
Agreed, the libs were all whining at the time.. “How can we give this monkey the tools of tyranny?”....
Of course who controls those tools NOW????
DHS is an ABOMINATION and in line with the OBAMA-NATION...
Aisle 6 at Wally World and the garden center, few flower pots and some water meter covers will enlighten those that drive such with confidence that all is not well in Poohville.
2700 for 50 states ? 54 per state ?
This is total.bs IMHO.... Doom on em all
Insanity is here .... Now, in America .
Damn ...
Ping.
In a manner of speaking yes, they certainly TAX my patience at the airport.

The threats to Chelsea came after the 2 people (in turn) died suddenly after they each in turn agreed to present at the DNC Convention a petition which would allow a 2nd round of votes (at which time delegates would be released from their prior commitments and Clintons could challenge Obama’s eligibility as they had planned to do at the convention all along. That’s why the Obama people wanted to “Recreate ‘68”. They had their thugs there to make sure Hillary “remembered” that there would be blood in the streets if she tried anything. Because they knew that was her plan. Shortly before that convention Hillary supporter, Phil Berg, took the eligibility issue to the courts - the only option left for Obama’s eligibility to be challenged within the framework of the primary election.
Here is a timeline of critical 2008 dates:
Aug 13 Bill Gwatney shot dead
Aug 20 Stephanie Tubbs dies of aneurysm
Aug 21 Phil Berg files federal lawsuit challenging Obama eligibility
Aug 25-27 DNC Convention
Aug 29 McCain announces Palin as running-mate
Sept 1-4 RNC Convention
Sept 6-16 McCain leads in RCP’s polling average (see http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/general_election_mccain_vs_obama-225.html#chart )
Sept 18 run on the bank that Paulsen said would have totaled $5.5 trillion by 2pm
Sept 24 McCain receives call from Obama and minutes later suspends campaign (see http://www.usnews.com/news/campaign-2008/articles/2008/09/24/mccain-suspends-campaign-shocks-republicans )
Sept 24 GW Bush cancels fundraising trip, confers with McCain in the afternoon (see http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/09/mccain_bush_talked_about_bipar.html , shortly before 2:30pm decides to give a primetime speech (see http://www.thewashingtonnote.com/archives/2008/09/pinkerton_bush/ ) gives Armageddon speech (see http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,426825,00.html ), and calls Obama to arrange a meeting the next day.
Soros threatened the media heads to scare them out of allowing Obama’s eligibility problems to be aired; that’s been confirmed by Mike Zullo, commander of Sheriff Joe’s Cold Case Posse. He confirmed that one particular secretary we were worried about fled the country out of fear because of the threats. PI Doug Hagman has a signed statement from one of the on-air personalities who was at the meeting where the threat was passed on to the on-air personalities, and he’s also corroborated the story with other witnesses and physical evidence.
Lawrence Sellin overheard one of the R presidential primary candidates explaining that nobody will touch the eligibility issue because they know it is WAY deeper than anybody wants to delve. IOW, they all know that 2008 was a coup, and the big players who used the threats to silence the eligibility issue have more up their sleeves than just getting Obama into office. That presidential candidate was saying that if anybody dug into Obama’s ineligibility they would find the big players and what they are up to, and nobody is willing to expose all that. It’s too monstrous.
I believe it is a worldwide communist-Islamist alliance headed by Soros. I believe they planned and made the Sept 2008 run on the bank as a demonstration that they have control of enough money to collapse the entire world economy - and have been telling all the critical players, in turn, that they would collapse the world economy if those players didn’t do exactly as they were told. I believe Boehner and McConnell were given that message the day after McCain got a call from Obama and within an hour or so suspended his campaign and asked for the debates to be postponed/canceled (different sources say different things about that)... and GW Bush gave a speech to the country saying that if we ddn’t pass TARP the world as we know it would end. Since then whenever something critical to the communist-Islamist coup comes up, those 2 players play hardball to keep the R’s in line. That’s why the guys who voted against TARP got booted off of their committees recently. It was a message from the R leadership, that when they are told what to do, they better do it.
I’ve posted elsewhere giving some of the reasons why I believe these things. I don’t have time now to go over even what I’ve previously said, much less all of it. But suffice to say that law enforcement has confirmed that threats were made to the media heads. Bill Gwatney and Stephanie Tubbs died of a “random shooter” and aneurysm respectively (both preferred methods of assassination), each in turn shortly after they agreed to present the petition which would have allowed Clintons to challenge Obama’s eligibility. “Recreate ‘68” was not about the R’s; the R’s had nothing to do with that convention. It was thuggery to intimidate Hillary Clinton, period. All that talk of possible riots was out in public view. If that’s what the Obama goons do in public is there any reason to doubt what Viviano says the Obama goons did in private? Especially knowing that they threatened almost the ENTIRE MEDIA?
Welcome to the USSA, comrade.
Of all the things I have seen in my life, all over the world etc .... This really bothers me.
When I’m President the DHS is out f work on day one.... Biggest mistake I have seen this nation make. Worse than electing Erkel Mugabe twice.... Bad bad bad ....
.oh well, off to bed for an oh early thirty wake up.
Nite all ... stay Safe !
Bump
OMG!!!! I guess the next thing we are going to hear is “Die Straße frei den braunen Batallionen”? Is this what we are becoming here in Amerika where it was said this would never happen? This is becoming too scary, and I don’t cover my head with tinfoil. Is it any wonder why so many conspiracy theories abound? (Rhet.)
There have been some pretty bothersome sights in other countries. But yes, it’s happening here. We as a nation remade our bed these last few decades, didn’t we. I reckon we’ll lay in it, until we’re ready to get cleaned up.
Oh, please——he “said” he wasn’t a dictator (cackle).
Sale on 10-foot sections of inch-and-a-half steel conduit tubing at Menards this week, something like $3.00 each. Think I'll pick up a couple.
