Paul Joseph Watson: While
the Obama administration sets out to eviscerate the gun rights of
American citizens in the aftermath of Sandy Hook, earlier this week it
was announced that the Department of Homeland Security has awarded a
company a contract worth over $45,000 dollars to provide the DHS with 200,000 more rounds of bullets.
This new purchase adds to the staggering figure of 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition already secured by the DHS over the last 9 months alone.
A solicitation originally posted on the FedBizOpps.gov website on
December 17 on behalf of the DHS Federal Law Enforcement Training
Center advertised the need for 200 cases of 13–40 Cal, 180 Grain,
Jacketed Hollow Point bullets, with each case containing 1000 rounds, to
be delivered almost immediately as soon as the contract is awarded.
The bullets are to be delivered to a training site in
North Charleston, South Carolina, which “specializes in Maritime Law
Enforcement and Port Security Training. Basic and advanced training
programs are conducted in concert with the U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Law
Enforcement Academy, the U.S. Courts Probation and Pretrial Services
Training Academy, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Training
Academy, the Customs and Border Protection Field Operations Academy, and
the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.”
The winner of the contract to provide the DHS with the ammunition, announced on January 2, was Evian Group Inc., an organization that was formed just five days before the announcement of the solicitation.
As James Smith documents,
Evian Group seems to be little more than a front organization and
doesn’t appear to have any real business assets, a genuine physical
address, a website, or even a phone number.
Back in August, the Department of Homeland Security censored information relating
to the amount of bullets purchased by the DHS on behalf of Immigration
& Customs Enforcement, citing an “unusual and compelling urgency” to
acquire the bullets, noting that there is a shortage of bullets which
is threatening a situation that could cause “substantial safety issues
for the government” should law enforcement officials not be adequately
armed.
The information was blacked out despite the fact that
documents are only supposed to be redacted if authorized by Congress or
for national security reasons.
The contradiction of the Obama administration preaching
gun control while simultaneously the federal government arms itself to
the teeth with an arsenal that would be enough to wage a full scale 7
year ground war is jaw-dropping.
As Mike Adams highlights, “A citizen is considered to be a stockpiling “terrorist” prepper if they own just 1,000 rounds of ammo. The government, however, can purchase billions and the mainstream media doesn’t even question it.”“Where is all this ammunition going? It’s being stockpiled by the federal government, awaiting some future event during which it will apparently be “activated.” Why else would you stockpile something if you don’t anticipate needing to use it someday?”
“During all this, Obama and his cohorts in Washington are loudly insisting that American citizens have no right to purchase firearms or ammunition, and that new laws will soon be enacted to make sure you cannot do what the government does: stockpile weapons and ammo.”
Indeed, the double standard is staggering and while Americans are being raided for
stockpiling “arsenals” of weapons that subsequently turn out to be no
more than a few guns, the federal government is simultaneously building a
very real and substantial arsenal while the mainstream media turns a
blind eye.
