Just to keep the level of crazyness at a constant level here I`m gonna propose the following theory:

Obama and DHS is planning a full out war on... wait for it... aliens that live among us that have inflitrated all countries and all levels of society!!!!!

It will happen under a cover of civil unrest and lethal force will be used on the aliens. Civil unrest is the only way to do it if they want to keep it hidden and still go to war on the infiltrators.

OMG the army uses 2 billion 556 rounds alone every year !!!!!!

it's only going to take the entire DHS 7 years to match that !!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!!


lol

It seems to me that Congress should have the power to instruct the FBI to arrest and incarcerate until trial those folks who actually are guilty of Contempt of Congress.

I would stick them in Solitary, with no contact with the outside world and set that bail so high that they would have to sit there until trial.

They should get their phone call long enough to inform someone that they are in jail and where, then the phone should be cut off.

Those who thumb their nose at the Constitution and appropriate authority do NOT deserve any of the protections from the thing they treat as though it doesn't exist.

Especially in this case where the idea that someone is building a private army is a cogent inference of possibility that to ignore it could produce possible dire consequences.

Frankly, Napolitano needs to go, and pay for these behaviors that she has exhibited from the beginning.

This is ridiculous. It just goes to show that the system of checks and balances does not exist anymore to the extent that it should. No government agency should be outside of the law, or outside of oversight, period.

It's all a show. They do this, people will comment on it, they will deny it and call them conspiracy theorists. The whole f'n thing is a joke.

This is exactly how Hitler started, by building an army loyal on to him and not the country. Get ready America, Obama is going to try to eliminate term limits. He doesn't want Socialism, he wants to be a dictator.

I just thought of this - DHS bought some 1.6 billion rounds of ammo.

We all know it. But - why?

I am not asking - "who do they intend to kill?"

I am asking - "Why buy so many bullets all at once, now, instead of buying them as-needed in a standard government contract that specifies how many are to be deilvered on which dates over what period?"

The only answer I can think of is this - because they will not be available in that fashion.

In other words - the Feds do not believe they will be able to purchase ammo in an ongoing basis, in a normal market, as needed.

Why might this be the case?

I leave it to your imagination.

They didnt "buy it all at once". Even if we go under the (false) assumption that contracts have not changed, that would be *UP TO* 1.6 billion rounds to be delivered over a period, ranging from 3 to 5 years (time varying by contract). Its like this - "Hey, we need some more. Send it to us. Deduct it from the total available. Etc, etc, blah blah."

This whole thing is about as standard as it gets for government contracts, there's nothing really out of the ordinary.

Basically the get next years bullets at this years prices. For 5 years.
Smart idea if you ask me.
It's hard to believe it came from the government.

Superman, above all people should know that the times of a honest US voting result has been gone for a few decades.

Anyways,..what I would like to know if there is an expiring date on these bullets..If so, until what date can we expect TS to HTF...in the USA?

Might be a reasonable question if they had taken delivery of all of these rounds at one time, but they didnt, so you're out of luck, friend

DHS won't talk to congress? Cut off funding.

Split the money between local Law Enforcement, Military, and budget reduction.
