Why does the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a Domestic Security force needs 1.6 Billion Hollow Point Bullets?

Last week Forbes Magazine came out with an article about the U.S. Department of Homeland Security purchasing 1.6 Billion rounds of ammunition.  That is enough to sustain a war for more than 20 years...in America.

Why does the U.S. Department of Homeland Security needs 1.6 Billion Hollow Point Bullets?  That is enough to sustain a war for more than 20 years...in America.I have been asked by various people to comment on this recent article in the mainstream financial magazine, Forbes: 1.6 Billion Rounds of Ammo for Homeland Security? It’s Time for a National Conversation.

I am happy to address the article because it brings up some useful perspectives for us all to inspect. I encourage you to read the Forbes article, if you haven’t already, before reading my analysis below. It will make a lot more sense that way!

As reported, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has an open purchase order for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition, some for hollow-point rounds (forbidden by international law in war), and a large amount for specialized snipers. This would be enough to sustain a war in America for more than 20 years…less than 6 million rounds a month were used at the height of the Iraq war.

So, first there is the critical question:

“Why in the world would the US domestic security force need enough bullets to wage an Iraq-style war for 20 years?”

When the DHS was first caught buying these huge volumes of ammunition, the official excuse was that they were for “training exercises.” That didn’t hold up, because even the military doesn’t use very expensive, hugely destructive “hollow point” bullets for target practice.

So the next reason concocted was that the government was saving us, the taxpayers, money by “buying in bulk.” So as they are cutting back on teachers, roads and air-traffic controllers, they are spending outrageous amounts on bullets that would destroy the entire target for which they were supposedly to be used?

It’s scenarios like this that are awakening people to the dire need for critical thinking. The good news is that Forbes is a very mainstream publication and they are actually covering an event that is inexplicable without some sort of understanding of a much more far-reaching and systemic agenda for consolidating of control.

In the Forbes article, they only follow the money/motivation as far as the notion that “bureaucrats are running amok” with their irresponsible spending. They distance themselves from the only sentence that gets to the heart of the matter by writing that “scaling back” on such expenses would somewhat defuse, by the government making itself less armed-to-the-teeth, the anxiety of those who mistrust the benevolence of the federales.”

So if the notion of covert planning of an illegal or immoral nature, i.e. – “conspiracy,” has seemed far fetched before, perhaps now would be a good time to reconsider.

It’s worth noting that it took Forbes eleven months — almost a year to catch on to — or be willing to — publish this news. Paul Watson, Alex Jones and the Infowars team have been covering it since last summer — through tracking government procurement bids — what used to be called “investigative reporting.” I was alerting people to these developments on my trips to Australia and Mexico in the fall.

The government rationalizations clearly don’t make any common sense, so in what context can we understand such actions? Is there a lens through which this is explainable? I believe these bullets are in preparation for domestic blowback that those perpetrating the agenda for domination and control anticipate is coming. If you’re living in the United States, that means these deadly bullets are being purchased by your military to use against you here on your home turf if you resist the plan that is being implemented. If that sounds hard to believe, let’s look at the evidence.

The IMF, the World Bank, Goldman Sachs and the so-called Washington consensus (the mega-banks and multi-national corporations operating through the US government and military) have already taken down Ecuador, Chile, Panama, Tanzania, Bolivia, Thailand, Japan, Russia, Iceland, Greece, Spain and other countries around the world with the sort of debt, austerity and assassination strategies described by John Perkins in “Confessions of an Economic Hitman.” In every country taken over this way, there was “blowback” — people resisting in the streets. This resistance is usually mislabeled with such terms as “insurgency” and “terrorism.” The perpetrators know it is always going to happen when they steal people’s resources and ruin their lives. This awakening and resistance is the same dynamic that is beginning to grow in America, as we experience the deterioration of our rights, our privacy, our paychecks, our retirement, the safety of our communities and the value of our currency. The demise of the US economy is a critical part of a documented plan to impose a one-world government that transcends national sovereignty and puts the entire planet under the thumb of the financial elite using the World Bank, the WTO, the UN and NATO as their fronts (see the movie, THRIVE, for more on this). The purchase of nearly two billion deadly bullets by an agency whose only jurisdiction is America is not a mistake; it is not random; it is not benevolent. It is a dangerous threat to us all.

The stock market has been artificially pumped up by the Federal Reserve printing presses (diluting the actual purchasing power of your dollars) in what they candy-coat with the name “Quantitative Easing.” And the precious metals markets, especially gold, appear to be artificially suppressed by covert manipulation. Both of these strategies fool many people into thinking there is a real recovery going on and they should stay in the stock market and out of the street protests.

But let’s look through the lens of an Agenda for Global Domination, as described in the documentary film, THRIVE, that includes the demise of America. If you were planning the collapse of the economy, trying to institute a global authority and preparing to handle historic blowback, you might want to:

    • Dismantle constitutional rights
      ✓ Patriot Act
    • Create and authorize total surveillance
      ✓ Drones, TSA, diluting FISA, Bluffdale, Utah Cyber Spy Center
    • Prepare to take control of the Internet
      ✓ Jay Rockefeller’s Cyber-security Act
    • Prepare prison camps for dissenters
      ✓ FEMA camps
    • Legalize indefinite detention, torture and assassination of “dissidents”
      ✓ NDAA, Natural Defense Resources Preparedness
    • Accustom people to military maneuvers in urban areas
      ✓ Blackhawk helicopter drills in Minneapolis and Oakland
    • Move heavy weapons to strategic locations
      ✓ Tanks being moved around the country
    • Authorize the use of the military against US citizens
      ✓ Cancel Posse Comitatus, Executive orders
  • Create plan to centralize authority in the Executive Branch
    ✓ COG — Continuity of Government authorizations (Cheney, Rumsfeld)

And you would want to:

Take away as many guns as possible from those who might object to the globalist plan — especially the automatic weapons that would be a match for the soldiers imposing martial law and rounding up protesters.

Stockpile lots and lots of bullets — to use against those of us resisting and to deplete the market for those citizens wanting to purchase ammunition.

So when you try on this perspective… (just do a browser search for any items with which you aren’t familiar) does the fact that everything on this list has already been done seem like mere coincidence? Does it seem like it is all to protect us from foreign “terrorists” who hate our freedom? Or does it start to seem obvious that Henry Kissinger was serious when he said publicly,

“Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government.”

— Henry Kissinger, 1991

Most of the “Global Domination Agenda (GDA) list” above (from Railway cars with shackles to Drones authorized for use over US communities) has actually now been covered to varying extents by the mainstream media — usually 6–12 months behind the alternative sources.
