TSA Purchases 1,980 Sticks of Dynamite to Go With Their 3.5 Million Rounds of Ammo
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 3/9/14 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 03/09/2014 12:52:13 AM PST by Nachum

According to one estimate, since 2012 the Department of Homeland Security has stockpiled more than 1.6 billion bullets, mainly .40 caliber and 9mm. DHS also reportedly purchased 2,700 Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicles (MRAPs) to go with their bullet stockpile.

ATK is one company that won a contract with the Department of Homeland Security to provide 450 million rounds of .40 caliber ammunition in 2012.

TSA, an agency within the DHS, purchased 3.5 million rounds of .357 SIG caliber training ammunition in September.

Recently TSA purchased 1,386 pounds of dynamite to go with their ammo. The Activist Post reported:

Put this in the “What in the hell are they thinking?” category, but the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) protectors of the friendly skies, the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) has submitted another request for high explosives via the Federal Business Online website today, and has issued a Limited Source Justification for three businesses to provide the material: Hallowell Manufacturing LLC, Omni Explosives Inc, and Tripwire Operations Group.

Like the MANPADS, these are going to go to Islamic
terrorists chosen by the First Moslem Tyrant by Fraud.

Now who was in control when TSA and DHS and the Patriot Act were put in place?

Would it be a grand conspiracy if TSA was the only other “military” that had ammunition and equipment to wage war against a Soviet invasion?

That Obama all along was a Russian mole that would allow Russia to walk right into Central America or even Mexico?

Seems to me Russia may very well waltz right into Venezuela, take over completely, starts sending troops and equipment and all Obama does is just does his golfing thing to be...flexible?

But I still believe the TSA is trying to create its own police state myself, while Obama goes golfing.

Perhaps TSA is planning to ADD the dynamite to
luggage all across the USA, and ALL AT ONE TIME,
on the green light from the DO”J”/DNC/alQAEDA/MB-central?

Isn’t it strange not even Cruz or Palin has asked in front of a microphone what the purpose of these purchases is?

Why is that?

They really think that will be of any use in a future when everything in government is computer dependent? When the grid goes out, it’s over.

>>Evidently preparing for war.

With dynamite? Are they planning a train robbery?

No, this is for a future false flag op against the American people.

Dynamite will be used as a plant when they arrest targeted people so they can charge them with domestic terrorism

What we want to do is, find an informant in these three companies that will provide a delivery destination address,
so we know WHERE "the peoples' 'war-against-civilians' material" is being stored.

We might want to "put it to proper use" against the enemies of freedom;

Dynamite? Why—so they can go “Clint Eastwood” in an authorized home invasion scenario?

Or, are they planning for Kiev-style barricades?

Or does someone have some stumps in their yard?

"Let's all not forget the 600 million (If memory serves) MRE's they bought a year or so ago. Well survival foods. I remember that some manufacturers had to halt sales to all other parties to meet the order from the DHS."

That one actually makes sense according to DHS's original charter (disaster relief). Getting food and water into areas hit by things like Katrina, or earthquake, or tornados QUICKLY is (or should be)"Job 1".

Not groping grandma.

The BATFE should investigate why the DHS needs dynamite. That would be a hoot. After that, both organizations should be disbanded and what few legitimate functions they have should be turned over to the FBI.
