DHS purchased 1.6 billion rounds of hollow point ammunition. Hollow point bullets are not usable for target practice nor in warfare. They serve only one purpose - to kill people.

The DHS have conducted a series of exercises using Blackhawk helicopters in large urban areas.
(Urban warfare drills have been conducted in St. Louis, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, Houston and a host of other American cities.)

The Department of Homeland Security has on more than one occasion issued reports calling Conservatives, pro-lifers, returning military personnel, people who fly the Gadsden Flag, etc. potential domestic terrorists, and has created a watch list of such individuals.

I'm sure that we are being paranoid (not) but give me a live paranoid over a dead disbeliever anytime!

Remember what "They" (who?) say .. Once is a coincidence ..

I've seen this same story across the blogosphere. Has anyone been able to backcheck this story? Does it come from a reputable website or is it just blog hysteria?

The MRAPS are being recycled from Iraq / Afghanistan but there is no evidence DHS is getting them.

The MRAPS aren't the only thing being recycled either since this "news" is about six months old.

Add to that DHS list of potential terrorists: those who think taxes are too high, those who believe in secure borders. those who believe in the constitution

It's not paranoia if it's actually happening.

There are hundreds of photos of these out there, I doubt that they are all photoshopped.

And I doubt that the guys in this video are actors:

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

Zitat

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).

They're not tanks. No fully traversible turret. They are, however armored vehicles. And the question is what does DHS need with almost 3,000 armored vehicles, 1.6 billion rounds of handgun ammo, and over 1 million rounds of .223? It's not exactly like their policing the border.

Its classic agit-prop from the usual sources.

Now that some American bloggers have taken the bait.. in a couple of days the English language version of Russia Today will start carrying the story. That will likely lead to another round of blogger speculation and so on.

Hundreds of photos of the same two armored vehicles you mean which apparently aren't even MRAPs.

According to the tech in the video, his emergency team covers the entire state of New Mexico and are on-call nationally.

That doesn't sound like an unreasonable use of this technology.

CREEPING TYRANNY IS VIRTUALLY now increasingly aggressively BOUNDING WITH ABANDON across the National . . . global stage. Denial of that is not a good survival habit. Folks can run. Where will they hide? Hiding ONLY IN GOD and His directions and purposes . . . will prove useful, functional, viable, safe.
