Who Does The Government Intend To Shoot?


It's time that someone started doing a little checking.  Major General Jerry Curry, US Army (Ret) asks questions about some curious purchases. Who does the government intend to shoot?

Have you been to a Social Security Administration office?  What is it doing with guns?

The Social Security Administration (SSA) confirms that it is purchasing 174 thousand rounds of hollow point bullets to be delivered to 41 locations in major cities across the U.S.  No one has yet said what the purpose of these purchases is, though we are led to believe that they will be used only in an emergency to counteract and control civil unrest. Those against whom the hollow point bullets are to be used — those causing the civil unrest — must be American citizens; since the SSA has never been used overseas to help foreign countries maintain control of their citizens.

What would be the target of these 174, 000 rounds of hollow point bullets? It can’t simply be to control demonstrators or rioters. Hollow point bullets are so lethal that the Geneva Convention does not allow their use on the battle field in time of war. Hollow point bullets don’t just stop or hurt people, they penetrate the body, spread out, fragment and cause maximum damage to the body’s organs. Death often follows.
Are the men and women at the SSA going to shoot people if there's a problem instead of calling the police?

What about the atmospheric scientists at NOAA?

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has ordered 46,000 rounds of hollow point ammunition. Notice that all of these purchases are for the lethal hollow nose bullets.  These bullets are not being purchased and stored for squirrel or coyote hunting. This is serious ammunition manufactured to be used for serious purposes.
Or DHS?
 In March DHS ordered 750 million rounds of hollow point ammunition. It then turned around and ordered an additional 750 million rounds of miscellaneous bullets including some that are capable of penetrating walls. This is enough ammunition to empty five rounds into the body of every living American citizen. Is this something we and the Congress should be concerned about? What’s the plan that requires so many dead Americans, even during times of civil unrest? Has Congress and the Administration vetted the plan in public....
 Why buy all this ammunition unless you plan to use it. Unknown to Congress, Does DHS plan to declare war on some country? ...
Is there some private army that's being created outside of the police and the military?  I have been reading about this and have dismissed it.  After all, we really don't have a history of military coups.  But what's the purpose of all this ammunition being delivered to "civilian" members of the government? 
 We have local police, backed up by each state’s National Guard, backed up by the Department of Defense. So in addition to all these forces why does DHS need its own private army? Why do the SSA, NOAA and other government agencies need to create their own civilian security forces armed with hollow nose bullets?

Were I the JCS, and if I wasn’t already fully briefed on this matter, I’d stop the purchase of hollow point bullets, ask the secretary of Defense why all this ammunition is being purchased and spread around the country? If I got answers like the ones Congress got during the investigation of Operation Fast and Furious – I’d start tracking all ammunition deliveries nationwide to find out what organizations and units are using them, for what purpose and, if it is not constitutional, prepare to counteract whatever it is that they are doing.

Certainly you are aware of the speech Obama gave in July 2008 when he called for a civilian security force just as powerful as the military. The ground work has already been laid in the ObamaCare bill and in several other bills that have been passed by Congress setting up various youth "educational" and "service" organizations. All of them are split up in separate bills or as small parts of bigger legislation to stay under the radar. That is what these huge ammunition and "other weapons" purchases are intended. There could be no other reasonable explanation for such arms and the amounts being purchased. Is there anyone who can give any other explanation. We had better wake up.
