FEMA, US Postal Service, TVA, Dept. of Homeland Security, Railroad Retirement Board, local police forces and others as if they were going to war against an enemy ... but they deal primarily with us, you and me. Does he consider all Gov. agencies his own private army. Does he fear the US Military will not go along with him in some sort of crisis or is he expecting a revolution or riots in the streets? Constitutional Attorney, John Whitehead has written a book full of questions, on this subject, for Mr. Obama. RB
This from The Rutherford Institute of which John Whitehead is Founder and President. RB
In A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead charts America’s transition from a society governed by “we the people” to a police state governed by the strong arm of the law. The simple fact is that the Constitution – and in particular the Bill of Rights – is being undermined on virtually every front. The openness and freedom that were once the hallmarks of our nation are now in great peril. A Government of Wolves not only explains these acute problems, but is a call to action offering timely and practical initiatives for Americans to take charge of our present course, and stop the growing police state.
Time is running out. We are at a critical juncture, and every citizen who values his or her personal rights and freedom needs to pay close attention to the message in this book!
And this from Kerby Anderson's Point Of View. Commentary on the book. RB
John Whitehead believes our government is becoming a police state and makes a convincing case in his book, A Government of Wolves. In a recent column he asks a series of questions. These are questions I think we should ask our elected officials and other candidates during this election year.
Why has there been a buildup of SWAT teams with non-security related federal agencies such as the Department of Agriculture, the Railroad Retirement Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the Office of Personnel Management?
Why have government agencies been stockpiling hollow point bullets? For example, why does the Department of Agriculture need .40 caliber semiautomatic machine guns and 320,000 rounds of hollow point bullets?
Why does the Postal Service need "assorted small arms ammunition"? Why did the Department of Homeland Security purchase 1.6 billion rounds of hollow-point ammunition, along with 7,000 fully-automatic NATO personal defense weapons plus a stash of 30-round high-capacity magazines"?
Why has the federal government been distributing many of these resources to police departments around the country? The Department of Homeland Security acquired more than 2,500 Mine-Resistant Armored Protection vehicles and then distributed them to local police departments. Thousands of military weapons, such as M-16 rifles and grenade launchers, are now in the hands of local police.
Why is FEMA stockpiling massive quantities of emergency supplies? This year FEMA made a statement enlisting the service of contractors who could "supply medical biohazard disposal capabilities." There were other requests for massive amounts of supplies ranging from 31 million flu vaccinations to 100,000 each of winter shirts and pants and the same for summer.
It is reasonable to ask what is all of this equipment for? What is the government preparing for? These are good questions to ask during this election season.
