Back in 2008, candidate Barack Obama slipped a little-noticed line in a speech, proposing a national police force reporting straight to him.

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military," he said. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

Can anyone imagine the outrage if Bush had wanted an "internal military' as strong as the military that has to deal with China, Russia and North Korea? It's time to end civil service protection. Each party should bring in their own people.

Their numbers are miniscule compared to the citizenry.

They just don't know it yet.

Beware The Increasing Militarization Of Government:
both Federal and local

[dragnet2]

Nearly every government agency now has their own commando style swat teams and most of their facilities resemble fortresses...They led stupid Americans to believe this was all done to protect them.

Excellent article.

I have a question.

I read on another thread, that some of the supposed government agents threatening to shoot citizens at the Bundy ranch may have actually been mercenaries/foreign troops. If this turns out to be true- Isn't it treason?

Is arming federal agencies against Americans even Constitutional?

How the hell did all this happen?

[G Larry]

Ya see, the first bureaucrat that raises a stink in a case like this, needs a baseball bat upside the head.

EPA, BLM, IRS, HHS,.....Just to let them know that there’s a price for their utter stupidity. That would slow down some of this nonsense.

And....even if it resulted in a ban on baseball bats....there are an infinite number of substitutes, so as to make the ban irrelevant.

"Militarism"?

You mean building up our defense force so Ameirca is strong to protect her citizens and other free sovereign countries from aggressive foreign tyrants, right? That's a good thing, right? Right.

But, no. America now has a government headed by a hater of America and is itself becoming the very threat of tyranny it should be standing against. It is building a military force against the American People. This is the trademark of Marxism, Obama's ideal.

The American People have waited until now to deal with this out of control monster government. May the people and the states of our union repent from government dependency and turn again to faith in God, courage, bravery, and freedom.

[Borax Queen]

The National Parking Lot Circus is another fed agency that is heavily armed and drooling to use their toys. A rangerette Tazed a guy in the back, in a newly-seized fed area near San Francisco. He had a dog off-leash.

And we all saw their might as they locked disabled veterans and so many others out of our public monuments and parks. Or, in some cases (Yellowstone), locked the public into hotels.

[SecondAmendment]

And all of this because of the "Kansas City Massacre" of FBI agents in 1933.

Voting with ones emotions leads to bad things.

[mojito]

This could be easily fixed if the gutless wonders in Congress simply stripped the funding for this from every agency that has its own militia.

To my knowledge, no member of Congress has even suggested doing so, much less come out forcefully for it.

And therein shows where their affinities lie.

[WayneS]

Welcome to the party Investors.com.

Many of us have been ‘bewaring’ the militarization of our government for many years.

This is #1 of 78 videos on the subject. It might be an idea to download them all considering what happened at the Bundy Ranch this past week.<

SNIPER 101 Part 1 - Introduction - Rex Reviews

Snipers, hunters, target shooters, ladies and gentlemen... Finally, Rex Reviews releases this long awaited free online long range shooting / sniper tutorial. TiborasaurusRex will walk you through everything you will need to know about sniper ammunition and cartridge selection, rifle and equipment options, basic and advanced external ballistics, making effective ballistic charts, rangefinders and distance determination, long range marksmanship, shooter / spotter team dynamics and communication, choosing a FFP, making the shot, spotting the shot, and much more.

This course goes far beyond what is covered in the U.S. Army FM23-10. So, if you can't make it to Quantico or the AMTU to learn these long range shooting skills, this video tutorial series will have you covered. We will get you set up to make amazingly accurate first round shots at 1 mile and beyond. Do you want to be able to zap that white tail buck at 1,275 yards and be confident it will be a nice clean kill? Watch this series!

All law abiding men and women in the free world who treasure their rifles MUST have these long range shooting skills for the continuation of our shooting culture and for the future preservation of our wonderful nation! Peace is beautiful, insure it by sharing these marksmanship skills with your friends and families to exponentially increase our nations already robust defense stature against. Stay clean, obey the law, and keep smiling.

I think everyone needs a hobby and I'd like to suggest one that may just possibly become a popular patriotic one - learning to shoot at long range targets. Have you ever wished you could hit a small target that is 3000 feet away? Yes, 1000 yards seems like a long distance but it does not require that you spend $5000 on your equipment. 1,000 yard BUDGET RIFLE! .243 at 1,021 yards - REX Reviews

Do you want a real budget rifle? How about a target that's 944 yards away. Nail it with a M91 Mosin Nagant - using 7N1 Sniper Ammo and no scope! That's right just IRON SIGHTS!

Look at the course that Rex has designed for everyone. Here are some of his video titles on Long Range Shooting.

[Texas Eagle]

Not to worry.

President Cruz will soon be in charge of these armies along with Secretary Palin, Paul and Gowdy.

[MarMema]

Some 70 federal agencies, including those not associated with national security or crime fighting, employ about 120,000 full-time officers authorized to carry guns and make arrests, according to a June 2012 Justice Department report. The Agriculture Department recently put in a request for 320,000 rounds.

This is truly frightening.
