In our 52nd and final episode of Madness Chronicles for 2020, we will see the growing insanity that our federal agencies are armed to the teeth. Remember, insanity is a state of mental illness, gross and extremely foolish behavior, and a frenzied or chaotic form of activity. Let’s take a look at a truly maddening proposition that our law enforcement agencies are better armed than our Marines.
Do they realize in this United States that our federal agencies have more gunmen than our United States Marines? The Fed has more than 200,000 officers with firearms, the Marines 180,000. And these are the people who want to take our weapons.
In the old days, the Internal Revenue Service was a force to be reckoned with because they showed up for an audit and took your things. Now, the IRS spent $ 21.3 million on weapons, ammunition, and military-style equipment in the last five years. They currently have 2,159 Special Agents to use all that equipment.
Moving on to Health and Human Services, the Inspector General’s office has 1,300 weapons, including a shotgun, five submachine guns, and 189 automatic firearms. Apparently, they have an increasingly strict policy when they administer those mega trillions of welfare across the country. Is anyone getting a little worried yet?
How about the Environmental Protection Agency? Surely they don’t need firearms? Not so fast. The EPA reserve includes 867,000 rounds of ammunition, 600 handguns, and they just spent $ 61,650 buying ‘body armor systems’ for 137 special agents. Should the climate wars be heating up?
And if you think that’s scary, check this out. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has ‘special agents’ equipped with machine guns and AR-15s. And even scarier, we have a museum and a zoo. What what? The Smithsonian Institution employed more than 600 armed officers. And these people receive training from our own military special operations forces. Why?
The madness continues with the Department of Homeland Security, who are the proud owners of more than 250,000 guns. And this does not include the Transportation Security Administration or TSA. Those friendly men and women at airports do not reveal any information about their weaponry. Given that the TSA has more than 50,000 employees at airports across the country, we can assume that each of them is packing.
In a recent three-year audit of the Department of Homeland Security, they found the department to be, well, quite unsafe. It appears that DHS lost 228 weapons and 1,889 badges, and only 25 secure immigration stamps. Don’t you feel better now knowing how well they control their precious assets?
The Veterans Administration is in the mix. The VA spent $ 25.5 million on security. The expenses included 11 million rounds of ammunition for its 3,957 security guards. That should be enough to fend off the veterans for a while.
All the expenses mentioned are outside the Department of Defense. For example, the largest spender is the Department of Homeland Security, which spends $ 100 million a year on weapons, ammunition, and military equipment. Second is the Department of Justice with $ 50 million a year. Even some that you wouldn’t expect are in stock. Take the Social Security Administration, they spend over $ 100,000 a year, as does the Small Business Administration. That is the definition of insanity.
2020 marked the beginning of an America on life support. 2020 leaves the United States without life support, waiting to die. It will pass like the year of madness.
May we wake up from this madness before it is too late. I wish you good health, and until next time, have fun, enjoy life, and watch out for the madness between us. 2020 is over and the Democratic Communists are going crazy.
