It's Spreading... Investors Business Daily, Hardly A Liberal Rag, Decries 3-Letter Agencies Militarization

Federal Fire Power: Instead of putting a lien on the property of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, the Bureau of Land Management surrounded his ranch with 200 armed agents. It's not the only agency with a private army.
Back in 2008, candidate Barack Obama slipped a little-noticed line in a speech, proposing a national police force reporting straight to him.
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military," he said. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
As our military is slowly decimated by his policies and budget cuts — and with federal agencies armed to the teeth — we may be seeing what he had in mind at the ranch of a 67-year-old Nevadan.
Agents of a federal agency that many Americans were surprised to see so heavily armed even herded American citizens into "First Amendment zones," another surprise to those who thought the Constitution made the entire U.S. such a zone.
"The government's option," said Fox News contributor and former Judge Andrew Napolitano, "is to take the amount of money (Bundy) owes them and docket it — that is, file the lien on his property. The federal government could have done that.
"Instead, they wanted this show of force. They swooped in . . . with assault rifles aimed and ready and stole this guy's property, they stole his cattle. They didn't have the right to do that. That's theft, and they should have been arrested by state officials."
The Environmental Protection Agency also has a private army. In late August 2013, armed EPA agents joined agents of the Alaska Environmental Crimes Task Force and swarmed gold mines near Chicken in the Last Frontier State.
In groups of four to eight, they even wore body armor and carried guns while investigating a supposed violation of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
That raid drew attention to the fact that some federal agencies, including the Library of Congress and the Federal Reserve Board, have divisions employing armed officers.
Other federal agencies participating in the operation were the Fish and Wildlife Service, Coast Guard, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Park Service and, yes, Bureau of Land Management.
That's right: NOAA, whose dangerous job is to forecast the weather, monitor the atmosphere and keep tabs on the oceans and waterways, has its own law enforcement division.
It has a budget of $65 million and consists of 191 employees, including 96 special agents and 28 enforcement officers who carry weapons. Why does a weather service need ammunition?
We have pointed out the massive purchase of ammunition by the Department of Homeland Security that's estimated to provide DHS a thousand more rounds per agent than soldiers in the Army.
But DHS is not alone.
Some 70 federal agencies, including those not associated with national security or crime fighting, employ about 120,000 full-time officers authorized to carry guns and make arrests, according to a June 2012 Justice Department report.
The Agriculture Department recently put in a request for 320,000 rounds.
Not long ago, the Social Security Administration put in a request for 174,000 rounds of ".357 Sig 125 grain bonded jacketed hollow-point" ammo. NOAA put in a request for 46,000 rounds.
"We're seeing a highly unusual amount of ammunition being bought by the federal agencies over a fairly short period of time," said Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Washington-based Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep & Bear Arms. "To be honest, I don't understand why the federal government is buying so much at this time."
Maybe we can ask Cliven Bundy.

The Unites States and its people are now in the hand of the United Nation. You believe or not there are very few of our congressmen are on the people's side. For instance, Ron and Ran Paul are the only two Americans that keep fighting for the American people but I don’t even trust them in 100 percent. The rest of our elected officers had done a very minimal or none activity of their powers to fight and to keep the United States as a true nation. My understanding of our people in the Houses of senate and representative, they are scare to DEATH of the current power of Executive Branch. They are there to keep their pay checks week-by-week and to pretend themselves as the power of the people but nothing to be served the people who want LIBERTY and FREEDOM. Why did I put this word to the publicity? They are all being bought by the rich people of United Nation members to keep their mouth shut or, otherwise, they will be followed by the power of the secret agents.
We must see that since 911 until today, there is none of the houses of Congress do anything politically and economically to prevent the nation but they have approved the Federal agencies whatever they need. If our congressmen want to keep the 50 states as to the Constitution established they certainly do something to maintain this nation but they are powerless to the rich people and they were surrendered silently without any awareness of the American public. If they are not part of the United Nation plan, they will never approve the billions rounds of ammos to the Federal agencies. To me, the American people have none value to our elected officers and not all but most of the American people are willing to burry themselves alive. The people who support this plan will be the cultivated buffaloes and at the end of the day these people will end up to be the last dinner of the UN community.
Well, you should ask you state government that why most of the state GOVERNORS didn’t see and take their reactions against the Federal government that brought down to the ground of every power of humanity up to the upper level of state defensive system. None of the states has no power to gain control of anything from Local and state Regulation, Rights, Foods, Drugs, Defense Equipments, Constitution, and so on… These are already happened in the eyes of the people but none of the 50 states governor has raised any of their opinion. Do they work in office or they are in a vacation for the rest of their term of office. I think if none governor take action, this is must be a nationwide planning to wipe out the whole system of US government.
Another of my thought is that the white people will have to repay all the lives and the labors of the African Americans who had served the white during the slavery time or it may reverse it. If the white men who are in the office do not see this point of my view, they will be the very first to serve as the cultivated buffaloes on the farms.
Here is a very short of my past experience from my originated country. They utilize the same system to take over the power of the people in offices. When they completely take control the entire country, there are 99% of the people of government office and leaders of the military are sent to the re-education camp and be tortured right there until the end of their lives.
I am not a born citizen in the United States but I love this country. I don’t want to face the same consequences of the second time in my life.
When I was here in the early 1979, the American society or the government system was not that perfect but it was still a great nation. Today situation has changed thousands of miles away from the time I was arrived in the country and it hurt me as well as any other born citizen. I realized that I ran from a small communism to a huge giant communist dictatorship of my life.
