National Weather Service Follows DHS In Huge Ammo Purchase

IW, really??



Good going giving them thousands of hits and Google page rank thanks to DSLR's Google power.

Why is IW even allowed on here as a source, that isn't news it's FUD. Plus, that's an old story.

Normally I don't bother with Alex Jones's crap, but the story and posted link to FBO in the article piqued my interest.

After reading the linked FBO solicitation, it became interesting. A few minutes of research to find a current version of the solicitation and a corrected version cleared things up;

Well done, EG.

When you look at the changes from August 9 - 14, it was bouncing back and forth between fisheries and NWS. The delivery addresses in all versions were specified to DOC, NOAA, NMFS, OLE at various geographic divisions. (NED, SED) DOC NMFS OLE is Department of Commerce, National Marine Fisheries Services, Office of Law Enforcement. NED and SED are Northeast and Southeast Divisions.

Those familiar with corporate and governmental infighting may find this theory familiar. I believe this is the most likely explanation;

Some NOAA accounting clerk was trying to figure out the right account for budgeting purposes, and was being whiplashed by dueling directors who wanted the other guy to take the expense charge-back. They finally got it so screwed up they canceled the entire solicitation notice and issued a new one after Fisheries lost the battle.

A google of a 130 Oak Street Ellsworth ME delivery address shows US Customs and Marine Fisheries are there - along with AAA, an accounting office and a massage parlor .

Ah, well - it was fun while it lasted. I'm surprised Alex didn't hop on the massage parlor connection - Game wardens, contraband lobsters, firearms, a travel agent and a masseuse..

Whoa, Nellie, what a porn flick that would make...

Careful there..you'll give him some ideas for the next news flash.

What you described I ran into also as a beltway bandit..sometimes for the black programs..money went one way..hardware the other..guess it's time to write another white paper and get it funded.

Bob told me that's how it all went down.

Re: National Weather Service Follows DHS In Huge Ammo Purchase

No but did search for the last time or anytime that the agency that is really getting all these rounds..actually fired off any shots or used their weapon against people of interest..did not find any..how about you ?

Guess they are all just for practice ?

Yes, they are mostly "just for practice" (not sure what you are implying with the "just"). You don't need to find the last time a special agent put 16,000 rounds into a bad guy--they will burn through that ammo regardless: I'm not sure what the allotment is now, but in the past, agencies issued, to each firearm user, 1000-2000 rounds a year for practice and qualification (and they may have to qualify each month or quarter).

16,000 rounds sounds like a lot, but is really only enough for ~8 agents. You're really killing me here. Please don't ask why federal special agents need to shoot 1000-2000 rounds a year...
