(NaturalNews) The alternative media scored a huge victory last week with the joint coverage of the U.S. government’s purchase of over one billion rounds of anti-personnel “hollow point” ammunition. The ammunition is to be use domestically, not by the military.

The story broke on sites like www.DrudgeReport.com www.InfoWars.com and www.NaturalNews.com - all top sites run by independent, intelligent journalists who dare to report the truth rather than the corporatized fictions spewed by the mainstream media. Breaking the story, InfoWars.com uncovered documents revealing huge purchases of hollow-point ammunition, which is illegal to use in war because it violates the Geneva convention. Those purchases include:

• 750 million rounds of ammo purchased by the Department of Homeland Security (http://www.infowars.com/dhs-to-purchase-another-750-million-rounds-of…)

• 174,000 rounds of ammo purchased by the Social Security Administration (http://www.infowars.com/social-security-administration-to-purchase-17…)

NaturalNews covered this earlier in the week in an article entitled “The U.S. government’s coming war with the American people: Insane quantities of govt. ammo purchases point to only one purpose”

We had also covered the DHS’s previous purchase of 450 million rounds of hollow-point ammo in an article published in April of 2012:

Lamestream media tries to downplay ammunition stockpiling by domestic government agencies

Thanks to InfoWars, Drudge, NaturalNews and other alternative news websites, word about these ammo purchases — which total over 1.4 billion rounds of ammo when you add up all the contracts — has begun to spread so far and wide that the mainstream media was forced to try to destroy the story.

So now, in a desperate effort to try to diffuse this story — which is really a story about the U.S. government stockpiling ammo to be used against the American people — the media is focusing on the Social Security Administration ammo purchase of 174,000 rounds… a tiny drop in the bucket compared to the 1.4 billion rounds of ammo so far acquired by the Department of Homeland Security.

The SSA, it turns out, explains away the 174,000 rounds of ammo it purchased by saying, essentially, “We needed the ammo.”

The SSA has hundreds of armed agents running around the country with guns, didn’t you know? As the SSA itself states, “These investigators have full law enforcement authority, including executing search warrants and making arrests. They use traditional investigative techniques, and they are armed when on official duty.” (http://cnsnews.com/news/article/social-security-administration-explai…)

Okay, so wait a second. First of all, since when did the social security administration need hundreds of armed agents with .357 rounds of hollow point ammo running around the country? What exactly are they doing with these guns? Shouldn’t they technically be calling local sheriffs if they need assistance from peace officers? I’m pretty sure that when Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law in 1935, it didn’t say anything about the SSA having “hundreds of armed social security agents running around the country with hollow point ammunition.” Somehow, the SSA granted themselves this power and just ran with it.

But the bigger fact is what they’re not telling you: 174,000 rounds of ammo is almost nothing compared to the 1.4 billion rounds of ammo being purchased by the DHS. And to my knowledge, nobody has explained why the DHS needs 1.4 billion rounds of ammo.
