Why is
the Department of Homeland Security building an illegal, and Unconstitutional
Domestic Military force?
This video is making its rounds around the internet
today, one that goes along with our article on the militarization of local police
forces, in which a retired
Marine Colonel claims the Department of Homeland Security is building its own
domestic military force.
The video is a pretty good summary of what we’ve been reporting on for the
last couple of years and, in my opinion, should be a wake-up call for those who are still in denial.The Marine Colonel, who says he was the Ministry of Defense Coordinator – responsible for training and equipping the Iraqi army, claims that the Department of Homeland Security has more powerful equipment, and could wipe out the forces they trained in Iraq in under a week. He spoke at a town hall meeting in Concord, New Hampshire after the local police chief requested Military equipment to suppress disturbances initiated by activists .
With this information in mind, you really have to ask yourself: Why is the Department of Homeland Security building an illegal, and Unconstitutional Domestic Military force?

hits the fan they will just blame it on the American people and then come kick
in our doors..the government is corrupt and everyone knows but what can we do?
I’ve been following stories like this for years and it just keeps getting
worse.. What’s next ??arming the Boy Scouts with grenade launchers?
August 16, 2013 at 6:12 am - After
watching another train load of
suburban military equipment flow past me at a railroad crossing in Tehachapi, California, I wondered about its use against civilians in a ‘takeover’
by the powers that be with an ex
military man over coffee. He started laughing at my concerns. He was a mechanic
for fifteen years for the Marine Corps heavy equipment branch. Here’s what he
told me: “The military doesn’t ‘Give’ anything away for no reason. All that
stuff you see flowing into local police hands is JUNK. If its not glowing from
depleted uranium, its broken down in some giant holding area. The vehicles get
two miles to the gallon. The air conditioning units fail constantly, forcing the
troops in the rear in all their gear to open the vented windows. There goes
your protection. The maintenance is unbelievable. Every time your local cops
roll out with these white elephants, they can watch their budgets skyrocket.
Even without the additional armor, they're constantly breaking down because of
a myriad number of defects. Oh, you want to take one into the bush? If it ain’t
paved, fah-get-about-it. If they even smell sand or mud, they instantly break
down. Those vehicles are the least of your problems. If you want to stay up at night
worrying, think, DRONES”!….

If you open the truck of just about any LEO vehicle in Texas, it has a fully
automatic M-4 ready to go. Heck, our Game Wardens have 4TH GENERATION night
vision goggles and infra-red headlights that allow them to drive completely
blacked out at 80 MPH. I, for one, am not buying this story that our
local police forces need drones and armored personnel carriers just so the
local PD can play "Army" with their toys. This is getting VERY SERIOUS people! We must stop
this militarization at the LOCAL GOVERNMENT level.

Having the equipment to do the job is one thing, heavily armored vehicles is
kinda overkill wouldn’t you say? something else. Besides that, consider this:
who’s paying for this expensive equipment? Taxpayers are. There used to be a
time when police got government surplus equipment at mimimal cost. Now, it’s
state of the art with a price tag to match.

- I really don’t think that rocket launchers and MINIGUNS are required
equiptment to combat gangs in America, yet our government is supplying them to
local police forces.

The U.S. government has been equipping and training personel against terrorist
attack for a long time now. Our over equipped police have not stopped a single
attack. Indeed, just recently a well
trained anti-terrorist police unit that was ON SCENE was ordered to stand down
during an armed attack (naval yard). The comander did not like it, said many
could have been saved. It looks as though they have other things on thier mind.
