i saw that too, strangely it was first reported it was the NOAA, then that was said to be mistaken as its was for department of Fish and Game, now Social Security (i believe i cant find the article) is getting in.
what i want to know is what the Fish and Game needs hollow points for? |

Many of us pretend that we are too smart to think anything can change. Too smart to get emotionally involved in the destruction of our prosperity or our liberties.

Superb forensic analysis. Excellent job. Might qualify you as a "domestic terrorist", though. (Sadly, I'm not joking.) |

I really don't think you have anything to worry about, unless you live in the megalopolis East coast region. |

Not a bad idea.
And people wonder why the second amendment exists.

The joke is most redacted documents are quite easy to do this with, since the marker and the ink are usually a few shades apart... I was able to get more out of that document, but just didn't bother posting the screen shots...
Still, kinda sad how poor of a job they do "protecting" information by redacting it like this... Heck, you don't even need to edit the thing if you've got a good monitor, I was able to read it somewhat without even doing anything, which was why I checked it out.

And, as a further point, the writer seems to be as much of an entertainer as anything.
Not saying he couldn't be right, but... *shrug*.. |

âWe are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of terrorism is terrorism. The object of oppression is oppression. The object of torture is torture. The object of murder is murder. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?â

You jest, but this is serious stuff. The government really is preparing to crack down on mass civil protests next Groundhog Day by calling on the elite Yellow Parkas, NOAA's highly trained force of sharpshooters, each hand-picked for their loyalty to the Mothernature from an army of employees slightly smaller than Seattle's Swedish Medical Center. Equipped with hollow point ammo and state of the art Doppler radar, they will storm our defenseless country and rain down a hail of gunfire upon any who dare to oppose them. Rallying to the battle cry of the Emergency Broadcast System, these hip-booted thugs will then impose a dictatorship promising fair conditions, but actually forecast for oppressive heat and low visibility. It's true, but you won't find this on any source with more than 1 degree of separation from a lunatic fringe survivalist blog because the government has hidden the evidence in Elvis' sock drawer. So prepare now! Stock up on food, water, flashlight batteries and generators! Board up the windows and weather strip those doors before it's too late! Or seek mental help. Whichever. |

Ah, ha! The Cassandra complex exists in our culture.
Let's compare notes at Christmas time, or the Winter Solstice +3 days, if you prefer. I will be most happy to be wrong about the foreboding signs in our near future. |

| I'm saying this reeks of a hoax without even the requisite whiff of plausibility. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and crackpot blogs don't qualify. If there's anything at all to this story, it won't be remotely like a government conspiracy against its citizens. |

For what it's worth, this was posted a few hours ago:
The Social Security Administration posted a blog on Thursday to explain why it was planning to purchase 174,000 hollow point bullets.
SSA posted a "Request for Quote for Ammunition" on the FedBizOps.gov website on Aug. 7. The request listed the commodity that SSA desired as ".357 Sig 125 grain bonded jacketed hollow point pistol ammunition." The quantity listed was "174 TH."
The SSAâs Office of the Inspector Generalâs said it posted a new blog on the agencyâs website, âBeyond the Numbers,â âas we strive to be a transparent and accountable government organization for all of our stakeholders.
âWith those goals in mind, we thought it would be appropriate to address recent media reports regarding the organizationâs purchase of ammunition for our special agentsâ duty weapons,â the blog post states.
The blog states that the SSA has 295 special agents who work in 66 offices across the United States.
âThese investigators have full law enforcement authority, including executing search warrants and making arrests,â the blog post states. âOur investigators are similar to your State or local police officers.
âThey use traditional investigative techniques, and they are armed when on official duty,â the blog post states.
Concern expressed in some media reports about the type of ammunition ordered by the agency is unfounded, the blog states, explaining that the .357 Sig 125 grain bonded jacked hollow point pistol ammunition is âstandard issue for many law enforcement agenciesâ and is appropriate for the work agents perform.
âOur special agents need to be armed and trained appropriately,â the blog post states. âThey not only investigate allegations of Social Security fraud, but they also are called to respond to threats against Social Security offices, employees, and customers.â
The blog also links to another post about a fight that broke out near an SSA office in Massachusetts that required action by law enforcement officials.
âSSA is processing more applications than ever, which means more traffic in SSA office,â the blog states. âEmployee and visitor safety is the highest priority for OIG, which, together with the Federal Protective Services and local law enforcement, has jurisdiction over SSA workplaces.â
Prior to the blog being posted, CNSNews.com had asked the agency specific questions about its ammunition order. Although some of those questions were addressed by the information provided in the blog, the agency did not say why it needed 174,000 bullets and if that quantity was customary or had increased from previous orders.
How reliable CNSNews is, I do not know. |
