Are You Being Watched? (part 3)


The head of the FBI, Robert Mueller, has admitted to using drones to spy on American citizens. It's disturbing to note that our government is purchasing unusually large quantities of war-time machinery and that most of this is not for the military—it's being allotted to federal agencies! Why are these agencies arming themselves? The Department of Homeland Security has been buying billions of rounds of ammo, as well as thousands of MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicles for “homeland operations.” Additionally, a fleet of Predator B drones has been purchased for deployment throughout the United States. Why is our government building its own private military force? Consider that a military directive was issued in 2010 called the “Defense Support of Civil Authorities.” This directive indicates that civilians may be engaged by the military during times of unrest, and gives the military authority to “quell large-scale, unexpected civil disturbances.”
