I know someone who purchased this from RAND.
By page 19 this report goes from discussing the need for a Special Police Force overseas to supplement interventions, to suddenly needing a force that can circumvent Posse Comitatus.
Posse Comitatus exists for a reason and any attempt to circumvent it, not matter how nicely packaged, is a step on the way to "Special" police becoming "Secret" police.
They call it :A STABILITY POLICE FORCE: This study asks several questions. First, is a Stability Police Force (SPF) necessary? An SPF is a high-end police force that engages in a range of tasks such as crowd and riot control, special weapons and tactics (SWAT), and investigations of organized criminal groups. In its ability to operate in stability operations, it is similar to such European forces as the Italian Carabinieri and French Gendarmerie. Its focus on highend tasks makes it fundamentally different from UN or other civilian police, who deal with more routine law and order functions. It is also different from most military forces, which are generally not trained and experienced to conduct policing tasks in a civilian environment. Second, if an SPF is necessary, what should it look like? This includes considering such issues as: its objectives, tasks, and size; its speed of deployment; its institutional capabilities; where it should be headquartered in the U.S. government and how it should be staffed (standing force, reserve force, and hybrid force); and its cost.
I think “12 billion rounds” is just the sales in 2009.
That’s only 36 rounds per American.
There are many who have multiples of hundreds and thousands of that much.
Recall the recently-related tale of the fellow who moved to Idaho, eventually confided in one of his new neighbors that he had “30,000 rounds”. The neighbor’s response - “Don’t worry; there’s still time to buy more”.
Yeah, but unless they are considerate enough to line up like cheerleaders when we engage, we're going to have to stack them after the fact. And yes, I am all in favor of arranging them so that it is easy to procure a good foothold as you traverse the stacks. But like everything else they do, the collectivists won't stack up well.
So remember, don't cheap out on ammo and possibly cheat yourself out of a victory:
Double tap early, and often.
“Recall the recently-related tale of the fellow who moved to Idaho, eventually confided in one of his new neighbors that he had “30,000 rounds”. The neighbor’s response - “Don’t worry; there’s still time to buy more”.”
Thanks for the laugh.
I don’t know, double tap with my 12ga would be way over kill. My #2 steel shot does a lot of damage.
You are correct, in both things that conservatives made a Faustian bargain for security, and if we try and re-assert our constitutional rights the country would be split in half... Or maybe more like 60/40 or 65/35. I don’t have to say who the minority side is either.
Was it "The Children's Story" by any chance?
Pray those in command of the tanks, IFVs and gunships are members of Oathkeepers

Sounds like a Palace Guard to me....and you know how those kind of groups can be paid to turn on the Leader and wipe him out. How many times in history has that happened? So obambi better watch out what he creates.....he might end up saying ................Eh tu Biden
((PING))
Certainly sounds like a “target rich” environment!
See the tag line! S^3 (cubed) mean anything to you?
Watch out the census taker coming around later this year. He's an advance scout.
Why, yes. How did you know of it?
Target hell...find a way to commandeer!
Way back in the nineteen-hundred and eighties (in high school), the drama class I was in (did I just admit that?) performed it.
Discussions recently on FR prompted me to ask about it (I couldn't remember the name of it), and a kind FReeper returned with the story and title.
So now, it sticks out in my mind. That and "The Wave."
Simple...we put Taliban and insurgent tactics to use. Remember, if you’re in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
Serb rebels were able to hold their own against armor.
The RAND corp. (CFR front group) developed the *Delphi* technique (psycho-propoganda) for use during the Cold War. Alinsky tweeked this methode for use in community organizing.
RAND RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
Without a doubt, RAND is THE think tank most beholden to Tavistock Institute and certainly the RIIA’s most prestigious vehicle for control of United States policies at every level. Specific RAND policies that became operative include our ICBM program, prime analyses for U.S. foreign policy making, instigator of space programs, U.S. nuclear policies, corporate analyses, hundreds of projects for the military, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in relation to the use of mind altering drugs like peyote, LSD (the covert MK-ULTRA operation which lasted for 20 years).

Islamic terrorists or a false flag incident. . Yes, I know that's evil. . but these people are communists and if they're "cornered" . . low poll numbers, lose in November, etc, they might stoop this low? I hope we have enough checks and balances + a hero whistleblower so this kind of scenario never happens. I used to worry about it during Clintoon's time.
It’s just a study people.
RAND does lots of weird stuff.
