Broadband Tech > Security > Security > National Weather Service Follows DHS In Huge Ammo Purchase

Alex Jones is one of the good guys bud,he is trying to get the word out!!!! (Its unknown if he is an insider who is secretly trying to help or not..

Last night's post mentions that the "NOAA overseas the National Marine Fisheries Service, which is responsible for all U.S. marine resources. The acquisition mentions this agency, NMFS and the OLE — Office of law Enforcement."
The reason for the number of rounds is explained in a follow up question:
Agents and officers are required to have 200 rounds in his or her duty bag, and twice-a-year firearm qualification and training calls for agents to use another 500-600 rounds. In addition, firearms instructors with more than one pistol may need more rounds in a year. In 2011, the guidance was that each agent and officer would need 700 rounds per year to meet these requirements.
Smullen says there are 111 special agents and 23 enforcement officers, bringing the total number of OLE agents to 134. "And here," he says, "is a succinct way of explaining what OLE folks do:"
NOAA officers and agents enforce the nation's ocean and fishing laws to ensure a level playing field for fishermen and to protect marine species like whales, dolphins and turtles.
From the NOAA Office of Law Enforcement website:
NOAA's Office of Law Enforcement is dedicated to enforcing laws that conserve and protect our nation's living marine resources and their natural habitat. Our goal is to assure that the many people who enjoy these resources for recreation or rely on them for business follow the rules that will maintain the species for future generations.
NOAA's Office of Law Enforcement protects fish stocks from depletion and marine mammals from extinction. We also protect the livelihoods of commercial fishers, the hobbies of recreational fishers, and the health of seafood consumers.
Extensive Area of Jurisdiction
NOAA's Office of Law Enforcement is responsible for carrying out more than 35 federal statutes. The agency's jurisdiction spans more than 3 million square miles of open ocean, more than 85,000 miles of U.S. coastline, the country's 13 National Marine Sanctuaries and its Marine National Monuments. It's also responsible for enforcing U.S. treaties and international law governing the high seas and international trade.

But you wouldn't hear any of that from Infowars. It's all about the impending usurpation of the Constitution by DHS.

As a long timer range officer of a large police academy, I can tell you that the cartridges they bought are MUCH more expensive than the wadcutters normally used in training, and would not be used for practice unless the agency had money to burn…..something I have never seen.

Are those longs or shorts ? I think we should watch our Gross domestic product and not share it with just everyone.

Alex Jones is one of the good guys bud,he is trying to get the word out!!!! (Its unknown if he is an insider who is secretly trying to help or not.. (Like Wikileaks.org for example (A CIA frontsite to release info they would not otherwise admit to (It sure seems like it is))))

I have no idea why the weather service needs all this ammo!!!! (Unless they are scared that ppl are getting tired of thier crappy forecasting )

This Is Why NOAA Supposedly Ordered 46,000 Rounds Of Ammunition

However, as will all federal agencies the quest for influence and ever increasing budgets and "turf wars" result in much more redundancy than is needed. The Director of NOAA doesn’t want to ask for someone to enforce his will he wants to have his own agents that he can hire and fire if they don't play ball. It’s really as simple as that. This gives him power and more authority and more management positions for his buddies and so forth. However, it’s part of the huge burden we enjoy as taxpayers.

All these government employees are power hungry. Been there, seen it, and (hides in shame) done it actually. It’s the end game of many years of Empire building.NOAA does have a weather division but also one that enforces fishery laws like lobster quotas and import tags on fish and seafood. Totally useless IMO since the function could be better performed by local fish and wildlife regarding illegal taking out of season etc. or by customs for import issues.

Way too many law enforcement agencies out there - the FBI in theory could handle all of the federal law from the EPA to the FDA assign an agent to the technical experts in the field and when comes time for an arrest you have someone there who can do it. They do a short tour there learn a new area then move on much like Soldiers do throughout their careers. Then when they become a SAIC they have a broad background in federal law enforcement. As I said earlier in this thread I think the problem or reason we have all these little agencies and pockets of law enforcement if primarily the ego and turf wars that run rampant throughout the halls of the government service. At one point presumably the Director of NOAA had to ask someone else for assistance in enforcement and didn’t like having to sell his position rather than just ordering things done so he lobbied and won more money, authority and people to expand his little empire.

After that no subsequent appointee to the position will ever lobby for less of anything, people, money or control than they already have… At no point is any director, leader or project manager in the government going to advocate for a decrease in his own budget or sphere of influence. Imagine going to your boss and saying well, I have too much, authority, responsibility and money and we could reduce the size of the organization to save the taxpayers some money. He’d last about 6 minutes – there is never a reward for the truth in the government service. Loyalty is however, rewarded very well.

No government employee is going to get promoted for overseeing a decrease in spending even if that is a good thing. They are rewarded with larger spheres of influence and larger budgets for increasing their services not reducing them.

A government bureaucrat is a poor steward of the public trust as his/her livelihood and promotion potential are linked directly to increasing sphere of influence his organization has – the more influence the more budget the bigger budget the more people, the more people the more mangers, the more managers the more the director can influence the political agenda.
