After posting yesterday’s blog regarding two of the latest military leaders that Obama has purged, my friend Nena S. sent me the story beneath the videos. It really helps to paint the bigger picture.
At the same time that Obama is purging the military, he has been busy keeping one of his campaign pledges, which is to create a civilian national security force, just as strong, just as well funded as the U.S. military There can be little doubt that DHS fits that bill. This is the same DHS that has solicited for 1.6 billion rounds of hollow point bullets they claim are for training The question is, why train with hollow point bullets that are not only much more expensive but designed to do maximum damage, and illegal for warfare?
Perhaps Obama is one step ahead of his friend , the now deposed Muslim Brotherhood and Egyptian President Morsi who was removed from power by the Egyptian military aft the people there rose up en masse. My friends, we are witnessing what Rush LImbaugh recently called a peaceful coup. How long it will remain peaceful seems to be the question:
Earlier Forbes wrote: at the height of the Iraq War the Army was expending less than 6 million rounds a month. Therefore 1.6 billion rounds would be enough to sustain a hot war for 20+ years. In America.
Add to this perplexing outr purchase of ammo, DHS now is showing off its acquisition of heavily armored personnel carriers, repatriated from the Iraqi and Afghani theaters of operation. As observed by paramilblogger Ken Jorgustin last September:
[T]he Department of Homeland Security is apparently taking delivery (apparently through the Marine Corps Systems Command, Quantico VA, via the manufacturer Navistar Defense LLC) of an undetermined number of the recently retrofitted 2,717 Mine Resistant Protected MaxxPro MRAP vehicles for service on the streets of the United States.
These MRAP ARE BEING SEEN ON U.S. STREETS all across America by verified observers with photos, videos, and descriptions.
Regardless of the exact number of MRAP s being delivered to DHS (and evidently some to POLICE via DHS, as has been observed), why would they need such over-the-top vehicles on U.S. streets to withstand IEDs, mine blasts, and 50 caliber hits to bullet-proof glass? In a war zone yes, definitely. Let s protect our men and women. On the streets of Americ
They all have gun ports Gun Ports? In the theater of war, yes. On the streets of America ?
Seriously, why would DHS need such a vehicle on our streets?
When we brought you the 9 Military Commanders it was apparent that President Obama was purging the military top brass.
When two days later two more were fired, many reporters started trying to get to the bottom of what President Obama was doing with what he called my military . Now what was a noticeable purge of commanders is now topped 197 since 2009!
While the top listed reason is sex, there seems to be several questionable reasons why these guys are being fired. From dereliction of duty to not saluting properly. The list continues to grow.
Never forget what he let out in a Freudian slip. He said it three times in September that we can find:
From Breitbart.com Facebook Page comes a long and detailed list with links!
There have been rather a lot, to say the least, of firings, demotions, relievings and disciplinings of hundreds of officers in our military under this present regime. The grounds range from leaving blast doors on nukes open to loss of confidence in command ability to œmishandling of funds to inappropriate relationships to gambling with counterfeit chips to inappropriate behavior to low morale in troops commanded to you-name-it-you-got-it and, now you’re gonna get it!
Listed below are some of the various commanders, vice-commanders, etc. who have been relieved, fired, forced into early retirement and otherwise let go of or, gotten rid of depending on how one chooses to interpret all this. Grand Total thus far: 197 (Mostly Colonel and above. 127 AF majors included they all occurred at one time, apparently). Also, provided are 11 links to various articles about said officers and the various ends of their military careers.
This does not include any of the stories about the pressure or attacks, if you will, made on those of all ranks, high and low, done by this regime or their gents and based on religious grounds or their stances on traditional marriage or statements or actions that have been deemed offensive to Islam beliefs held by many who have been persecuted, if not out-right prosecuted, for said religious and/or traditional belief stances.
This if offered not as proof of any attempt to purge our military of those deemed un-fit by this present regime. It is simply offered as a PARTIAL listing of what has happened so far under the present C-i-C. Please note PARTIAL. This writer does not claim this list is complete.
It remains to be seen if more disciplinary actions are taken or are warranted. I simply find myself asking, as the picture below asks:
