Why are we worried about nationalizing our response to disasters? What happened to the Red Cross? The Ham Radio community? The National Guard? Better yet, the concept of neighbors helping neighbors?
Do we really need DHS to step in and create yet another group of people to manage under a national flag? Taking this news with the purchase of hundreds of millions of rounds of defensive ammunition and armored personnel carriers, my BS detector is buzzing. Now add in DHS wanting to expand TSA's VIPR program to even more places (this is the program that puts TSA agents at train stations, bus terminals, and on interstate highways), and the needle is steadily rising on the detector.
Keep your eyes open, folks. The pot of water is increasing in temperature, and we are the lobsters swimming in the pot. If we don't figure out how to get out of it, we'll boil before we realize what's happening.
Which, by the way, is exactly what the socialist liberals would like to see happen.
So why is the program just for "youth". Kinda similar to the Nazi's plan to indoctrinate the youth and thus control the next generation. I think we really need protection in Iowa from disarmament of citizens during emergencies.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to me that money is flowing in great rivers to fund such a project about "disaster response" when in reality, when the situation actually happens, there is no money available because, "you aren't eligible", "you haven't been declared", "this doesn't affect a 'large enough' area", etc. etc. etc..... This kind of program is a sustained program by the federal government which bypasses the "locals" if it is in fact designated for response to disasters. Were was 'local' input into such a program?? No lack of sympathy here for victims of a real disaster, but this doesn't appear to be able to provide what is needed.
