We had a thread on here not too long ago about the EPA arming "itself?" against threats of sudden attack by snail darters. Here's a little more in depth look at exactly what they're buying. Mein Gott! Just a little quick math tells me they could arm a Brigade (1/3 of an army division) with this kind of spending.
And not just a few weapons. Open the Books found that the agency has spent millions of dollars over the last decade on guns, ammo, body armor, camouflage equipment, unmanned aircraft, amphibious assault ships, radar and night-vision gear, and other military-style weaponry and surveillance activities.
“We were shocked ourselves to find these kinds of pervasive expenditures at an agency that is supposed to be involved in clean air and clean water,” said Open the Books founder Adam Andrzejewski. “Some of these weapons are for full-scale military operations.”
Among the EPA’s purchases:
$1.4 million for “guns up to 300mm.”
$380,000 for “ammunition.”
$210,000 for “camouflage and other deceptive equipment.”
$208,000 for “radar and night-vision equipment.”
$31,000 for “armament training devices.”

Something is definitely not right here. In the article I found earlier, it said the EPA has a team of 200 military/security types on their payroll. They could easily arm over 4000! Although the the EPA employs around 15,000, there's no way they've got 4000 clerks, mid-managers, and engineers who moonlight as light infantry. The question should be, who are they arming? This is clearly a "straw purchase".
You know, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
