EPA, FDA building their own private armies with body armor and military weapons
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
The FDA is buying body armor.
They're gearing up.
In fact, it's not just the FDA. It's also the EPA. I'm reading from a story on the Washington Times website.
EPA, FDA stocking up on body armor during President Obama's watch.
And we're talking about the militarization of Of regulators.
I mean, you know, for years I've been warning that we're living in a police state in America, and there are a lot of people who have just remained in a state of denial, just not wanting to acknowledge that they're actually living in a police state that we're heading towards a North Korea-style society.
So they've denied it.
Oh, no, there's not a police state.
Well, when the Food and Drug Administration starts buying body armor and military gear, you really can't deny it anymore.
When the EPA is running around with militant SWAT teams dressed all up in black gear, With body armor and assault rifles, that's the EPA now running around.
I guess, what are they doing?
Tromping through rivers and streams with little scientific test kit vials and automatic weapons?
I mean, how is this protecting the environment when you're all geared up like a military assault team?
Well, according to this article, federal data show that government agencies are spending tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to purchase SWAT-style and military-style equipment.
44 administrative agencies have spent over $71 million on items like body armor, riot helmets and shields, cannon launchers, and police firearms and ammunitions, according to federal spending data from the watchdog group called OpenTheBooks.com.
And this article says this is in addition to the $330 million spent on this equipment by traditional law enforcement agencies like the FBI, Secret Service, and DEA. Because, you know, you can sort of understand the DEA. They're going to need some military-style equipment.
They're going to need some rifles and body armor, right?
I mean, come on.
They're raiding, you know, crack houses and heroin labs and...
Who knows what else?
So you can understand, you know, the FBI, obviously, they're going to need some firearms, Secret Service, and so on.
But the Environmental Protection Agency is running SWAT teams with military gear and bulletproof vets.
Really?
How does this work?
If you're making a new pond on your property, you're digging...
With a tractor.
You could have the EPA roll up on you with a military raid.
You could have a mine-proof armored personnel carrier that's going to open up and all these EPA guys are going to spill out of there.
As if you're some kind of an international terrorist.
I mean, this is what it has come to.
This is why everybody's so pissed off.
This is why people are voting for Donald Trump, frankly.
It's because of this kind of insanity, this total police state oppression, this mass intimidation of the people.
You know, the Obama administration has lost its mind.
And more importantly, these individual regulators, they're not accountable to anyone.
You've got to understand, the FDA can pass new laws and rules and regulations without any approval from Congress and no oversight from Congress.
And do you realize that you don't get to elect the head of the FDA? No.
That person is appointed by whatever corrupt presidential regime happens to be in office from the executive branch.
You realize you don't vote for the head of the EPA. There's no accountability whatsoever.
These government regulators, they make their own, essentially, law, and they enforce it in any way they wish.
They just start buying up guns.
They're becoming government militias.
Think about it.
Little private militia armies run by government regulators who have an agenda to get bigger and And to exercise more power themselves.
So how does this work?
Are we going to have...
I mean, the IRS already has all kinds of guns and body armor.
Is every government agency going to be a militia now?
A military?
Like federally run armies running rampant across the country, terrorizing the citizens under the auspices of, oh, we're environmental protection, right?
Well, aren't your bullets made out of lead?
Isn't lead bad for the environment?
So how are you running lead bullets in your AR-15s there or your M4s or whatever you have?
How are you running lead bullets if you're the Environmental Protection Agency?
Makes no sense.
And the FDA? Really?
What are they going to do?
Have a police-style raid on some home gardener?
Or some small supplement company that's making vitamin C capsules or something?
Are they going to roll in there with automatic weapons and body armor?
What's next?
What's next?
I mean, do you not see it yet?
You need to read the book, Battlefield America, by John W. Whitehead from the Rutherford Institute.
Again, the book is called Battlefield America.
You can get an audiobook version, I think.
Yeah, you can.
You can get a Kindle version on Amazon.
You've got to read the book.
You gotta understand that America is already a police state.
You are living under a totalitarian regime right now.
And maybe you just don't realize it yet.
Maybe you do.
And you're wondering how much crazier it's going to get before anything is ever reversed.
I don't know the answer to that.
I just know that...
Myself as a law-abiding citizen who, you know, I just want to run my business and grow my food and live on my ranch and mind my own business for the most part and, you know, fight for clean food and honesty in corporations and government.
That's all I want to do.
But it's people like me who are probably going to be the targets of this kind of terrorism because I run a certified organic nutritional supplement manufacturing operation that has been inspected by the FDA twice and has passed in both cases with no problems.
And no, they didn't roll up with their weapons.
They were actually very professional in my case.
They were polite, in fact.
So I don't have any complaints about what they've done so far.
But maybe there are other regions of the FDA that are not so polite, and they roll up on them with weapons drawn.
It really begins to make you wonder, what the hell is going on in this country?
What is the justification for this?
It just doesn't make any sense.
People that are making organic supplements, believe me, they're not defending their warehouses with their own armies of soldiers.
No.
It's a crazy thought.
So we have the militarization of our regulators.
Even the Department of Veterans Affairs spent $2 million on helmets, riot helmets, shields, body armor, and a, quote, Milo return fire cannon system.
What's a Milo return fire cannon system?
I'm not even familiar with what that is.
I've never heard of that.
And the FDA spent $300,000 on ballistic vests.
Ballistic vests!
By the way, there are many people out there who want to outlaw private citizens from having ballistic vests.
You know, body armor.
So really, they say only the feds and the police should have body armor because they want to make all the citizens shootable.
You see how that works?
So if the FDA has ballistic vests and rifles, they want to be able to raid your, I don't know, your herb...
Your herbal manufacturing facility, and they want to make sure that you are shootable and defenseless.
That's the plan.
I guess they're going to go after more raw milk producers.
Remember James Stewart in California, the raw milk man?
And they raided him because he was selling, oh my God, milk and cheese and watermelons.
I mean, the thought of it, the horror.
He must be a terrorist.
They raided him with a SWAT-style raid because it was raw milk, unpasteurized, non-homogenized.
Oh, my God.
You mean the way it comes out of the cow, the way that baby cows drink it, the way that human breast milk is fed to human babies, fresh and whole and not artificially modified?
You mean that kind of milk?
Oh, yeah, that's a crime.
We're going to roll up on you with body armor and AR-15s in the hands of the government.
And we're going to confiscate all your food, throw you in jail, charge you with felony crimes, and destroy your entire inventory.
That's what they did to James Stewart.
So we are living in a food fascism police state.
There's no debate anymore.
There's only denial.
That's it.
There is no more debate.
It's here.
And yeah, you probably should be concerned about it if you don't want this to become North Korea.
By the way, don't go to the Washington Times website.
It's got like 50 pop-ups and automatic videos that play and pop-unders and windows.
I mean, do these publishers not realize how much spam they're throwing on your screen when you go to their website?
Jesus!
I mean, just get a grip on it, people!
I mean, you'll be happy to know that all the websites that I control, we do not allow pop-ups, we do not allow pop-unders, and guess what?
We do not have autoplay videos either.
Doesn't that annoy you?
You're just trying to read a news article and two or three videos start playing without your permission?
It's ridiculous!
We don't do that, you know, because I respect you.
I'm not just going to throw a bunch of spam in your face and, you know, try to make an extra nickel off of your page view.
No, we're not into that.

A lot of great hosts on there, so be sure to check that out and listen in any time of the day.
Thank you for your interest, and please share this, and let's see if we can demilitarize government regulators.
