The end is coming from the United States, and this administration is stepping up the pace. Obviously something is going to happen that will require all law enforcement officers to begin murdering US citizens at will.
Well they can try. I’d wager they’ll run when we start shooting back.
Is there a listing anywhere of all the government ammo purchases in the past oh say 6 years?
No need to go farther than the fall of the US Dollar. Currently the USD is backed only by the fact that a lot of those dollars are in circulation, and by the backroom deal that oil on this planet can be sold only for USD. This resulted in a situation where the USA only needs to print money to remain rich. This also means that the USA charges the world a tax for using the USD, and lives off of this tax. So far this works - in part because it takes only a small amount of money to "personally convince" the decision makers that the USD is the best currency in the world. However this does not make the USD any more attractive technically. There are also countries with enough weight to displace the USD - and they will do so without any hesitation if it benefits them.
If we imagine that the USD is not going anywhere, the current model of the US society, extrapolated onto a few decades in the future, is quite simple and stable. One President after another are building a cradle-to-grave dependency society, where citizens don't have to work in order to live. In reality most don't even have an option of working because they have neither a place to work at, nor skills to do the work, nor buyers of their product. In a long view a US citizen is born and immediately placed on entitlements until his natural (or not so natural) death. The entitlements would be financed by the rest of the planet. This scheme is already in place.
In either scenario the citizen ceases to be a valuable producer of goods. He instead becomes a useless eater. If the USD crashes, most of the population will not be able to survive. If the USD does not crash, the cattle needs to be managed and culled as needed to maintain a reasonable herd structure. (It's not very likely that 300 million people with too much free time on their hands will be only singing and painting.) That's where the ammo is needed.
They already do, however this is usually given the trappings of SOP and/or official investigation.
I think that what we should be on the lookout for is a drop in info from any midsized cities, an information-blackout could indicate things happening.
The other way for a big operation to go down is as response to 'terrorism' which may or may not be a false-flag op.
There are too many cops killing citizens already. Just like there are too many dumb cops and too many fat cops. But hopefully, when the war starts and the adrenaline starts to rise the fat ones will drop dead of a heart attack.
