The Department of Agriculture Launches Proposal To Purchase Submachine Guns

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Mike Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

The following solicitation from the U.S. Department of Agriculture almost defies belief. We’ve seen this type of bizarre behavior before, but it has mostly originated from the American Gestapo, aka the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). I highlighted this trend early last year in my post: Department of Homeland Security to Purchase 7,000 “Assault Weapons”.

Here’s a screenshot of the solicitation from the Department of Agriculture (click on the image to get to the source page):

Screen Shot 2014-05-15 at 11.05.18 AM

What is so important to understand about the current war/civil unrest cycle that the world has now entered into is that it will affect different regions and nations differently. It appears tensions in the Ukraine/Russia region and the Asia/Pacific may rather quickly erupt into a war amongst nation-states. This could ultimately lead to a world war. For the United States region, I predict more of a rebellion and civil unrest scenario that consists of the status quo versus the people. I also think its obvious the status quo knows this, which is why they are stealing everything in sight and setting up a total surveillance state. Things are going to get dicey, but the status quo is in the wrong and they will need to be tossed aside peacefully.

The solicitation can be found here.

I'm thinking that what happened at the Bundy ranch has something to do with this.  People aren't just getting pissed off about BLM, they're also getting pissed off at abusive government thugs who harass small local farmers.  The writing is on the wall.  They are intent on unjustly forcing their will upon people.

If they attack-- and They have to attack First for US to be on the moral high ground, do not stop with halfway measures.

The last thing I EVER want to do is fire on The Flag.

However, I will uphold My Oath.

USDA has their fingers in a lot of pies and not just cow pies.

Food Stamps and the Forest Service are in there.
It looks like each sub-agency has their own cops and commissars.

Actually, it looks like ALL government agencies now have cops and commissars.

The USDA is made up of the same people that every other civilian government organization is; a bunch of middle aged overweight ninnie paper pushers who I'm sure the majority of, have not ever fired a gun. So if this gun purchase is real, I'm sure it's to spread the purchases across multiple agencies to avoid scrutiny from somewhere. My guess is they're hoarding them for the thousands of Russian soldiers coming in to this country every year that will be the "International Peace Keeping Force" when martial law is declared.

Just a few thoughts (for the always lurking anti-gunners out there).

Who conducts the background checks on .gov and its employees who will have these guns? Other .gov employees, perhaps? Personally, I think they're a little lax on the logic in that respect, seventeen trillion in debt isn't exactly the pinnacle of sanity.

And do these Dept. of Agriculture sub-guns come with a little stamp marked USDA Prime affixed under the barrel like a mini bayonet for that clandestine night work at the slaughter house? ;-)

lol...good one, a .40 doesn't have the same knock down power at distance as the .308. I guess "the plan" is to get close, dress all in black & look very intimidating.

Submachine guns typically use handgun ammo and are for squad use in close quarters urban combat.  Not really appropriate for a law enforcement scenario on agricultural land.

Not quite sure what they have in mind.

So, a student is in my office and another walks in...shortly after the latest mass shooting. First student knows me well, second is trying to start up a debate after asking all the questions he needed to ask to get prepped for the next class. So, he says "Dr. Wong, you don't have one of those assault rifles, do you?" I tell him, "No, I don't have ONE." Clueless student leaves. Student who knows me busts out laughing...

So- a college professor has not one, but multiple assault rifles, huh?  Why'd you call them "assault rifles"?  Where I come from, they are simply called personal self-defense apparatus.

I am not your student, I am your teacher, and you are failing miserably.  Take note.  You will thank me later.

They've tried to come for our guns.  It's flat out not going to happen in this country.  Disarmament means civil war, no ifs, ands, ors or buts about it.  20 years ago, people were willing to put up with the Brady bill.  Today, they'll ignore the law. 

 

If any DHS guys are reading this, I have a pretty good idea that your thugs would be going around disarming people in the event of an emergency.  That makes them targets.

Restrictions on ownership followed by

registration of owners followed by

criminalization of noncompliance followed by

Warrants and arrest of those criminals individually

each a labeled dangerous armed criminal, with the public demanding their incarceration immediately (with a gentle prodding of the media for sure)

Eventual complete illegalization of all private weapons for the demonstrably dangerous (all those unregistered gun owners) nature of guns.

What was it my dad always said..."as long as you live under my roof, you will do as I say!" and it is quickly becoming apparent that America is "their" roof as with the BLM and NSA owning us land and word.

I hope these fucks get what they want. Every gov't employee will be packing a submachine gun under his/her skirt. It will be difficult at first to figure out who the enemy is. When everyone is shooting at you, it will be a matter of who has the biggest and baddest weapons. I hope to fuck I don't have to engage these monsters. But if I do, I'll use something with a little better range than a 40 cal.

Dude, you use Your arms to get Their arms.

So far, these fascists have only attacked unarmed/unwilling to fire citizens. At some point, they may throw all civility aside,  they may attack! Stand Ready, but hold your fire, no matter the pressure, until you know they are going to kill you.

 God Forbid, but when they find their wives and childrens' heads on a stake, they are gonna have to make a decision. When they find their last patrol dismembered and organized into piles of legs, arms, torsos, etc. They will have to think. That is Moral Terror I was taught back in the day. My God, you .gov people do not need to start this on your own people!!

These people have never fought a war. They have no idea what they are asking for. After 40 years, nightmares do not go away, they just recede....

Let us pray this does NOT happen.

It's about controlling the food supply chain in the event of an all out national crisis. These posts about farmers are silly. The DOT is in on it too as well as other agencies.

Dept of Ag and Dept of Transport will not be able to control the supply of food in a national emergency if that emergency is an insurrection. Long supply routes and asymetric warfare favour those doing the uprising.

Half the posters on this forum could make thermite if they so chose. Same with ANFO, IEDs, boobytraps, concealed drop pits, punji sticks etc.

How will they transport food if the rails have been cut by thermite and the roads are lined with IEDs?

Just about everyone here also has some rope and a lamppost in the street. Or car tyres and petrol (necklacing). 

That isn't even factoring that half the posters have guns, probably more than enough guns to share with the other half. They will be outnumbered 100 to 1.

After the first few hundred Dept of Ag employees end up dancing at the end of a rope, shot full of lead or are turned into crispy critters the rest will jump ship or hunker down. Either way they will control squat.

Not too forget the ZH article a couple of years ago discussing the best self-defense/martial arts disciplines for a SHTF scenario.  I for one finally decided to do something I'd always wanted to do but never found the time and picked a discipline from the ZH article--Hapkido.  Now I am a couple of belts away from a black belt, in better shape in my early 40s then I was a decade ago, and have the muscle memory and confidence to react to different attacks with defensive and offensive options.  Not much help if a stormtrooper gets to unload 30 rounds from 50-ft away, but certainly offers some tactical choices for a close-in ambush ;)

Mandela was still in prison when the necklacings were going on.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tambov_Rebellion

The rebellion was caused by the forced confiscation of grain by the Bolshevik authorities, a policy known in Russian as "prodrazvyorstka". In 1920, the requisitions were increased from 18 million to 27 million poods in the region. This caused the peasants to reduce their grain production knowing that anything they did not consume themselves would be immediately confiscated. Filling the state quotas meant death for many by starvation.

Spin the barrel off, punch the chamber forward for the 10mm. More power! Some don't like the 10mm, but I really like it for a hiking weapon.

There is no offensive tact except defense. They are hoping and praying for people to take the offense. All they need is the excuse. We should have tried the offensive tact a 100 years ago.

This is one I time I will defend the fuckers. Organic produce is expensive to produce and it sells for a premium as you well know. If any old asshole(not you) could label gmo poison as organic, they would all do it. The organic standards protect against immoral dickheads. If they stopped it tomorrow, every box on the shelf would be labeled organic.

When the dollar collapses, the farms that use Monsanto are going to have a difficult time running their equipment and shipping their shit unless we figure out a way to make up for all of that oil that is no longer being imported.  Physics will trump greed and corruption any time they go head to head with physics.

Buy your heirloom seeds now why you still can.  Learn what grows well where you live and how to harvest the seeds.  I am on my second year.  The first year was a total bust but I learned a ton.  Don't wait until TSHTF to learn how to grow your own food.

Doing that right now. The most significant problem so far is aggressive wildlife. The woodchuck ate the broccoli in a single day when he found it. The birds stripped the blueberry bushes when I planted it. Then they started stripping the sunflowers.

The American  people really need to realize that a choice is coming whether they like it or not: They can wither away in poverty and misery with everyday a fight to just survive or fight to take back the county, the American country, from these treasonous criminals and murderers.

The choice is coming: Persecution or Revolution.

The Four Rs
Rejection: Quit paying, quit obeying, quit playing
Revolution: It is inevitable, so prepare, as they are.
Retribution: The guilty must answer for their crimes against the American people and the Constitution.
Restoration: Restore the Constitutional republic.
