Obama DHS Purchases 2,700 Light-Armored Tanks to Go With Their 1.6 Billion Bullet Stockpile


 
 
This is getting a little creepy.
According to one estimate, since last year the Department of Homeland Security has stockpiled more than 1.6 billion bullets, mainly .40 caliber and 9mm.
DHS also purchased 2,700 Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicles (MRAP).

The Department of Homeland Security (through the U.S. Army Forces Command) recently retrofitted 2,717 of these ‘Mine Resistant Protected’ vehicles for service on the streets of the United States.
Although I’ve seen and read several online blurbs about this vehicle of late, I decided to dig slightly deeper and discover more about the vehicle itself.
The new DHS sanctioned ‘Street Sweeper’ (my own slang due to the gun ports) is built by Navistar Defense (NavistarDefense.com), a division within the Navistar organization. Under the Navistar umbrella are several other companies including International Trucks, IC Bus (they make school buses), Monaco RV (recreational vehicles), WorkHorse (they make chassis), MaxxForce (diesel engines), and Navistar Financial (the money arm of the company).
DHS even released a video on their newly purchased MRAPs.
Via Pat Dollard:

The MRAP featured in this video is was in Albuquerque, New Mexico for Law Enforcement Day which was held at a local area Target Store. This MRAP is stationed in El Paso, Texas at The Homeland Security Investigations Office. MRAP is a Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicle.

  2. Yep, drones, monitoring of virtually all internet traffic.Massive ammo purchases, big anti-gun movement, robots that can run 25 mph and track humans.

    They EXPECT A COLLAPSE!

    Check out this video of the latest drone technology. (oh dont forget that civilian drones can now see if a person is carrying a weapon)

  3. Our police forces and "homeland security" agencies have been becoming heavily militarized since 9/11. Not a peep went up from the right after the patriot act was passed, an act, BTW, that literally gave the government nearly unlimited ability to spy on it's own people. Billions of dollars have been spent on office buildings and God knows what else in the name of homeland security. You all can whine about the left and the alleged nefarious plots they are hatching, but it is the endless paranoia and fear of people like all of you that has given the government the green light to do what it is doing.

    Enjoy your consequence.

    1. Paranoid of what exactly - oh, I am sorry the "right" never says a word.... you just talk out of the side of your mouth.... the fact it the true right was not been happy for a long time yet the left controlled media REFUSES to report and real news...

    2. Paranoid of Obama, of Mexicans, of Muslims singular and Islam plural, dirty bombs, having guns taken away, too many people on food stamps, too many people taking instead of producing, black helicopters, fear of Israel being overrun, fear that the left wing controlled media doesn't report real news, which means they aren't producing enough stories about how terrified we all should be. In short, people in your neck of the right Angie are afraid of anyone who does not look or talk like you and when it comes to controlling such people, there is typically no hesitation and no resistance from the right to measures enacted to kill, detain or deport anyone who scares them.

      The yapping about the left wing controlled media is a very tired and toothless old saw. There is the internet, and there is cable and there are endless "content" providers disguising themselves as journalists pumping out endless "real news" stories. The vast majority of it is all bullshit. People like yourself and your mirror image from the left can find endless links to feed their terror.

      Much of what Obama is continuing was started under Bush and just recently when all that bullshit secret wire tapping was renewed, there was not a fucking peep from either party. THAT is what is scary.

  5. I looked into that… the “story” about DHS procuring MRAPs originated on politifake.org, a satire website similar to The Onion.
