Department of Homeland Security

Has anyone read this? The Department of Homeland Security is getting really scary.
» Video: Hundreds Of DHS Armored Trucks On The Move? Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

Most of those videos are of military vehicles on trains. Not sure why that is scary since ramping down combat operations means lots of military hardware is being moved everywhere and trains are the most efficient means to do that. No mystery there. As far as armored vehicles going to ICE, they have their share of problems with violence at the border. Armored trucks don't scare me, now if they were armed with TOW, .50cals, ect...THEN we've got a problem. Armor is defensive but these vehicles LOOK scary and thus we get SCARED.

Yeah, let's not freak out yet. Living near the tracks I've seen two or three trains go by in the past couple years carrying a few dozen Abrams tanks. It happens.

As has been pointed out, it is far more efficient to move military vehicles by train. Unless you have driven a large military vehicle, you don't realize just how poor the mileage is. As an example, I used to be a crew member on an M60 tank in the Marine Corps. Our fuel mileage was 1/4 mile to the gallon! Yes, that is correct. It took four gallons of diesel to move a 56-ton tank one mile!

Just heard Garrison talking about how Homeland is buying up ammo from the private sector...

The Department of Homeland Security is the biggest single mistake in the history of America. I hate the name - it is reminiscent of Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia IMO. Too big, too militarized and too secretive. Right now they think they are more powerful than Congress and maybe they are.

Ok, what are we taking laps around the conference room table about now?

AFVs and IFVs on trains? Well, how do you think they get around, teleportation?

Miltitree hardware on trains does not mean that DHS is involved. Ok, the feds have some armored cars for LE agencies. We can discuss whether or not they should have them but that is a separate issue from AFVs on trains.

Alex Jones does this. He gets everything all tangled up and feeds the merited concerns of many. Let's keep this stuff on separate railroad tracks.

If I were living in the mountains or an island or wherever, and the only information that I could receive was from a one-way transmission from Alex Jone's studio; you bet I would be too terrified to ever coming back to civilization.

BINGO!

Let them roll around in armored vehicles if they wanna be protected against cartels and such or a loon criminal shooting at them. But missiles and large caliber machine guns NO WAY!

I suppose that means the invisible death ray is out?

What is invisible death and where do you find a ray that causes it?

It's all invisible to this Ray.
