Steve Watson: More Footage of Military Vehicles
being delivered surfaces online: Footage of hundreds of armored trucks, similar to ones reportedly purchased recently by the Department of Homeland Security, has appeared online, raising more questions over their intended use. The first video was uploaded to YouTube last week, by a user who stated, that it was shot in the middle of the desert, between Hackberry and Peach Springs, Arizona. It shows hundreds of military style trucks loaded on a train, presumably in the process of being delivered domestically for law enforcement or military purposes. The video raises significant questions, in the wake of reports, that the Department of Homeland Security, headed by Janet Napolitano, recently purchased around 2,700 MRAP trucks, that many believe, are to be deployed to local law enforcement agencies around the country. It is clear, that the DHS does have fleets of armored vehicles, intended for use in the US. Here is a demonstration video of such a vehicle by ICE agents. Does the latest video show these same type of trucks in the process of being delivered? The footage is the latest, in a spate of similar videos, to surface on the internet in recent months, showing huge amounts of military equipment packed into trains en route within the US. As we reported today, the DHS' mass arms build up continues, with the report that the agency has bought another 360,000 rounds of hollow point ammunition, to add to the roughly 2 billion bullets already bought over the last year. Such stark activity, with little to no background detail, has prompted several Congressmen to ask the federal government for an explanation. According to some elected representatives, the DHS has refused to answer specific questions on the purchases, stating only that the ammunition is for training purposes over the next five years, and has been bulk ordered to save money. As we have pointed out numerous times, military experts have noted, that hollow point bullets are unsuitable for training, and much more expensive than full metal jackets. Efforts by government media mouthpieces to dismiss the story, have only caused it to become more viral. The DHS has also purchased 7,000 fully automatic assault rifles, as well as cementing a $2 million dollar relationship with a contractor, that recently had to apologize, for producing shooting targets of pregnant women, children and elderly gun owners, depicted in residential settings. The DHS has also been busy, buying large supplies of body armor, leading to shortages. Last year, the agency put out an urgent order for riot gear, in anticipation of civil unrest. The agency has also ordered bullet proof checkpoint booths, and hired hundreds of new security guards, to protect government buildings, over the course of the last 12 months. None of this has been addressed by the mainstream media.
