To compliment the automatic weapons they are buying... We all know that the Department of Agriculture faces serious threats everyday. Ahhhh, maybe they are going to go into the fields and round up the illegals immigrants or undocumented illegal immigrants.. never mind.

The federal agencies are preparing for a revolt of the citizenry and spending the citizens money for that preparation.

can you say "Hunger Games"

Do you think they are really buying this stuff, it is really going to them? Or are we shipping it to Mexico?


Yeah, the records show it, but I doubt it is being used for them

12:47 PM I have been saying that ever since I saw the movie Hunger Games. I don't see many people commenting on the movie so they are to stupid to realize that is the future of America.
