DHS Officers Armed With Semiautomatics Set Up Unannounced ID Checkpoint

Staff of Florida Social Security office not informed of drill, Homeland Security officials refused to talk to media

Residents of Leesburg, Florida were shocked to see their local Social Security office turned into a random Homeland Security checkpoint Tuesday morning, as DHS officers armed with semiautomatic rifles and accompanied by sniffer dogs checked identifications of locals.

"With their blue and white SUVs circled around the Main Street office, at least one official was posted on the door with a semiautomatic rifle, randomly checking identifications. And other officers, some with K-9s, sifted through the building," reports the Daily Commercial.

The activity was part of Operation Shield, an unannounced drill conducted by the DHS' Federal Protective Service centered around "detecting the presence of unauthorized persons and potentially disruptive or dangerous activities."

Thomas Milligan, district manager for the Social Security Administration office, said staff were not informed their offices were about to be stormed by armed FPS officers. DHS officials refused to answer questions asked by local media and left with no explanation at noon.

"Part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, FPS is the federal law enforcement agency that provides integrated security and law enforcement services to over 9,000 federally-owned and leased buildings, facilities, properties and other assets," states the report.

Indeed, the FPS is used for a variety of roles, not just limited to setting up unannounced ID checkpoints.

As part of the reinvention of the Department of Homeland Security to serve as a tool of political repression, the Federal Protective Service is used by the DHS to track the political activities of peaceful advocacy groups. The FPS was seen arresting photographers in Portland last November during an OWS rally.

In 2004, the FPS arrested a veteran for the crime of complaining to his local VA office in Des Moines.

A separate component of Homeland Security, VIPR (Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response), recently received an expansion in funding from Congress that will see 2011′s figure of around 9,300 checkpoints increased with the addition of 12 new VIPR teams, who will be used to carry out security checks at bus depots, train stations, ferry ports and highways.

The extra money is being demanded despite the fact that there is "no proof that the roving viper teams have foiled any terrorist plots or thwarted any major threat to public safety," ac

Some thoughts falling into place, Peter

Just talked to a friend

He was in a local gun store in Chicago suburbs in December

He said it was packed -- they had record sales --especially AR's and AK's and hand guns


As I posted on another site :
"What in the world are they ramping up to with all the checkpoints,  militarizing the police departments, the indefinite detention of citizens in the S1867 Bill etc etc ?"

Sadly, I now am convinced it is WWIII.

War with Iran will increase the price of oil to $200, $500, who knows ? 

that would be a bad thing of course for us plain folks  ---
but if you are are the Federal Reserve and need a place for all those FRN  it is a good thing

meanwhile food will become vastly more expensive (growing and transport are dependant on oil) -- gasoline will be $20 a gallon -- who knows

when people get hungry they get desparate and maybe that's why they are 'ramping up'


ETA

sorry this is depressing

Now this from presstv quoting the Jerusalem post and other sources

"An unnamed source said the military deployment of US anti-missile ships and accompanying support personnel will occur in January and later this spring, Global Research reported.

Commander of the US Third Air Force based in Germany Lt.-Gen Frank Gorenc said it is not just an "exercise," but a "deployment," The Jerusalem Post said.

Washington and Tel Aviv have planned to hold what they call the largest-ever joint military exercise this spring.

The US commander visited Israel two weeks ago to confirm details for "the deployment of several thousand American soldiers to Israel."

The US General also visited one of Israel's three Iron Dome anti-missile outposts. The Israeli Air Force has announced plans to deploy a fourth Iron Dome system in coming months.

While US troops will be stationed in Israel for an unspecified amount of time, Israeli military personnel will be added to United States European Command (EUCOM) in Germany.

This is while the US is reportedly bringing its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) and ship-based Aegis ballistic missile systems to Israel. "

I was at Bass Pro the other day and there were almost no scopes or long guns. Plenty of handguns though.
I asked the salesman if they cleared out for inventory.
He said No, it was because the sale of long guns went through the roof before Christmas.

I asked how long the instant background check was taking. HE rolled his eyes and said 3 to 4 days.

In reading the news, this seemed to be a national trend!

By the pricking of my thumbs....you fill in the rest.

Yes, indeed

Several of us have been warning of this for years but were called by some, the favorite derogatory name of "conspiracy theorist" that lumps anyone who questions the status quo into a group that is considered "out there..."

Ah well, time usually brings out the truth...
