WHY DIDN’T THE MEDIA CARRY THIS STORY?

The
federal government calls them FEMA Corps. But they conjure up memories
of the Hitler Youth of 1930’s Germany . Regardless of their name, Obama’s Dept of Homeland Security has just graduated its first class of 231 Homeland Youth!
Kids, aged 18-24 and recruited from the President’s AmeriCorp
volunteers, they represent the first wave of DHS’s “Youth Corps”, designed specifically to create a full time, paid, standing army of FEMA Youth across the country!
On
September 13, 2012, the Department of Homeland Security graduated its
first class of FEMA Corps first-responders, “Homeland Youth”. While the
idea of having a volunteer force of tens of thousands of volunteers
scattered across the country to aid in times of natural disasters sounds
great, the details and timing of this new government army is somewhat curious, if not disturbing!
DHS raising an armed army!
The
first problem one finds with this ‘new army’ is the fact that they are
mere children. Yes, 18 is generally the legal age a person can sign a
contract, join the military or be tried as an adult. But ask any parent –
an 18, 20 or even a 24 year-old is still a naïve, readily-influenced
kid.
The second problem with this announcement and program is its timing. Over the past two years, Obama
has signed a number of Executive Orders suspending all civil and
Constitutional rights and turning over management of an America under
Martial Law to FEMA!
Also in that time, domestic
federal agencies under DHS, including FEMA, have ordered billions of
rounds of ammunition as well as the corresponding firearms. Admittedly,
these new weapons and ammunition are not to be used in some far-off war
or to fight forest fires in California , but right here on the streets
of America !
Strange Armored Fighting Vehicles
Individuals around the US have begun reporting the site of strange, new, heavily-armed FEMA fighting vehicles. What would a disaster relief agency like FEMA need with 2,500 brand new GLS armored fighting vehicles? According to the agency’s own mandate, as well as Obama’s recent Executive Order, the answer is ‘population control’ during a time of Martial Law.
One set of images made available by Rense.com
shows trailer after trailer carrying these new DHS and FEMA armored
fighting vehicles, complete with machine gun slots. They’re labeled with
the usual backward American flag and the title, ‘Homeland Security’.
Below that and the DHS logo, it also reads, ‘Immigration & Customs
Enforcement’. Joining those markings, the black vehicles with white
lettering also display ‘POLICE/RESCUE’ on one side and ‘Special Response
Team’ on the other.
FEMA Corps
FEMA
Deputy Administrator Rich Serino gave the keynote address at the
‘Induction Ceremony’ for the inaugural class of FEMA Corps members.
According to the DHS website, ‘Corps members assist with disaster
preparedness, response, and recovery activities, providing support in
areas ranging from working directly with disaster survivors to
supporting disaster recovering centers to sharing valuable disaster
preparedness and mitigation information with the public.’
Serino describes what the first FEMA Corps class has accomplished so far, as well as where they’ll be going next:
‘Yesterday,
we welcomed 231 energetic members into the first ever FEMA Corps class.
The members just finished off their first month of training with our
partners at the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS)
and are one step closer to working in the field on disaster response and
recovery. They will now head to FEMA’s Center for Domestic Preparedness
to spend the next two weeks training in their FEMA position-specific
roles. Once they complete both the CNCS and FEMA training, these 231
dedicated FEMA Corps members will be qualified to work in one of a
variety of disaster related roles, ranging from Community Relations to
Disaster Recovery Center support.’
A standing army
Unlike
most local disaster response teams who are volunteers, training
periodically and only showing up when there’s a disaster, the FEMA Corps will be a paid, full time, standing army of armed government youth.
FEMA
Deputy Administrator Serino goes on to explain, ‘The new members, who
range in age from 18-24 years old, will contribute to a dedicated,
trained, and reliable disaster workforce by working full-time for ten
months on federal disaster response and recovery efforts.’
In
closing his announcement of the first graduating class of FEMA Corps
Youth, Sarino describes his and the agency’s vision of the future, one
where ‘FEMA Corps sets the foundation for a new generation of emergency
managers’.
DHS arms itself
As
we detailed in the August 28 Whiteout Press article ‘History of DHS
Ammunition Purchases’, federal emergency management agencies are looking
more and more like a military army every day.
The
federal government’s procurement website actually lists DHS’ requests
for bids to supply it with ammunition and military weaponry. All of the
orders listed in the above article, including the orders for hundreds of
millions of rounds of ammunition, are publicly available at http://www.fbo.gov/.
One
look at a chart of DHS ammunition purchases over the past decade
reveals a drastic spike in orders of bullets recently, totaling in the
billions of rounds. Other charts available online show a similar drastic
spike in the purchases of accompanying weaponry by the Department of
Homeland Security.
What is Obama and the US federal government preparing for? Why
does it feel it needs an army of brainwashed youth, millions of guns,
thousands of armored fighting vehicles and literally billions of rounds
of ammunition, just to provide relief to the American people during a
natural disaster?
Any historian will tell you it is more like the arming of the Hitler Youth than an army of first responders fighting forest fires and hurricanes.
