A retired Army officer wrote to a U.S. senator Saturday about his concern that the Department of Homeland Security is preparing to arm itself against the people of the United States.
Retired Capt. Terry Michael Hestilow posted his letter to Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, on his Facebook page, noting that Homeland Security has made a number of large ammunition, weapon and light-armored vehicle purchases recently and has refused to answer questions about them.
Hestilow begins by noting the large ammunition, weapon and light armored vehicle purchases recently made by DHS, as well as that agency’s refusal to answer any questions regarding those purchases.

Isn't that the truth? I have an aquaintance who retired after just 20 years with the feds. She's only in her early 50s and quite fit and capable of working many more. Instead, she's bragging about her cushy retirement, and how she can even live/rent in one of the most expensive cities in the world. It makes me sick.
Sorry, looked at the wrong listing - the J spelling was my first choice - sometimes things just go awary...
How many are thinking right now of stocking up hidden caches of months or years of food for their families?
In those old days, there was no one buzzing around overhead with IR cameras, or air dropping motion dectors to spot the guys going to and from their hidden caches.
Huh?
“...this isn’t germany in the 1930’s ...”
If things keep going as they are today, the difference between the Germany of the 30s and the US of tomorrow, will be in name only. Brute force was only one option the Nazis exercised.
“It’s all or none.”
That’s what the Indian tribes thought in the 15th-19th Centuries... and so did the South for that matter, neither turned out so well.
The victor will be declared when the last poor b.....d willing to die for his cause dies.
There’s at least one person in that category who posts fairly regularly here.
So you thing VJ is as American as any of us, eh?
Then why is she directing Obama to do his level best to turn this country into Iran?
With her becoming the equivalent Supreme Leader and Obama becoming the equivalent Amadinerjacket.
There's more to being ‘an ordinary American’ than one’s birth parents’ origin. Her heart does not lie in this country and doing the best for it, but elsewhere and changing it into something more manageable like Iran.
Valerie Bowman Jarrett, of very American parents, lived in Iran ‘til she was five, then London and Chicago. Raised Catholic, I believe. Doesn’t mean she isn’t the agent of some Muslim billionaire or group, but she isn’t disloyal due to some circumstance of foreign birth.
Good Post! Good Call!
Question:
Wouldn’t you also expect to see a “gin up” of talk about right-wing, (meaning “whites clinging to their guns and bibles”), anti-gov’t militants? I certainly do. And, I noted a certain aggressiveness on the part of gov’t thugs at the airports and with Urban police departments against whites. I would guess that the SPLC will be highlighting all sorts of white groups, from the Boy Scouts to NRA members as potential anti-gov’t “terrorists”.
Although the technology is here, the distribution isn't. We don't have long. Nor do such detectors work well under forest cover.
If she can appear cogent in public, I don’t think they’ll matter; she’ll just be a more easily managed puppet of the elites to offer up as they pursue their agenda from behind the curtain.
You’re pretty much spot on.
I think the media will increase it’s reporting of minorities being shot while committing a crime as victims of white racism while continuing to ignoring minority/mob violence against whites as if it doesn’t exist.
I expect to see more and more “reports’ from the govt agencies portraying “Right wing extremist”, whites, as anti-govt and the real threat to the country, while minority radicals openly calling for revolution are ignored.
I’m expecting something along the line of the news stories prior to the OKC bombing or more recently the 2011 attempted car bombing in NYC where prior to the attack the news media portrayed the TEA Party as a bunch of Tim McVeigh wanna-bees, then after the attack said the fact it was a fertilizer bomb proved it was the TEA Party.
There is also going to be more and more talk about “right wing hate radio” pushing “unstable” people to violence and encouraging more mass killings.
The left hasn’t had an original thought in it’s head for over 50 years, they aren’t about to start now. They will do a repeat of what that has been done or worked before.
The pattern is there, people just have to recognize it.
Residents of the Soviet Union after 1932 were issued internal passports.
Wikipedia: “. . .its purpose declared to improve the registration of population and “relieve” major industrial cities and other sensitive localities of “hiding kulaks and dangerous political elements” and those “not engaged in labor of social usefulness”. The “passportization” process developed gradually involving factories, large, medium and small cities, settlements and rural areas, and finally became universal by the mid-1970s. Internal passports were used in the Soviet Union for identification of persons for various purposes. In particular, passports were used to control and monitor the place of residence by means of the propiska, a regulation designed to control the population's internal movement by binding a person to his or her permanent place of residence. . .”
“world’s largest standing army -— that would be the Peoples’ Liberation Army of China with nearly one million more soldiers than the US, barely squeaking into second place ahead of India.”
I think the idea is that American civilian gun owners make up the world’s largest armed force. Disorganized, but huge.
Got it. But standing army and armed civilians are two different fish. Just saying.
I would be inclined to think that the guys on the ground would just walk away and stand with the populace. After all, they’d be staring at their own family and friends.
Sure, until they start getting shot at.
I guess my point is, that if what we’re discussing is part of some plan by obama, Agenda 21 folks, the Bilderbergs, etc etc etc, to finally put the stake in the heart of freedom loving folks, then I’m inclined to think that they are misreading alot of folks. Especially the ones that are employed by the feds or in the military.
It may be naive of me, but I’d like to think that at least some, if not most, of the regular LEO’s and GI’s would wake up and see what’s going on around them and not blindly goose-step in formation to wreak havoc on the country. I’m in law enforcement and am good friends with lots of folks in the law enforcement and military community. I can’t say with 10% certainty, but most of the ones I know have no intention of fulfilling obama’s pipe dream.
Just sayin’
However, understand that our military has been fighting counter-insurgency for quite a while now against an enemy that has a very different language and culture than ours--and we're pretty damn good at it by now. If some of the guys on the ground take contact from people who will not submit, regardless of the Soldiers' feelings on the matter, they're going to maneuver on and destroy the threat, not debate the appropriateness of the response of the populace.
Especially if the head is encased in a blue helmet!
