Homeland Security Graduates First Corps Of Obama’s Brown Shirts – Homeland Youth
Monday, October 15, 2012 18:51
October
7, 2012. Vicksburg. The federal government calls them FEMA Corps. But
they conjure up memories of the Hitler Youth of 1930’s Germany.
Regardless of their name, the Dept of Homeland Security has just
graduated its first class of 231 Homeland Youth. Kids, aged 18-24 and
recruited from the President’s AmeriCorp volunteers, they represent the
first wave of DHS’s youth corps, designed specifically to create a
full time, paid, standing army of FEMA Youth across the country.

On September 13, 2012, the Department of Homeland Security
graduated its first class of FEMA Corps first-responders. While the
idea of having a volunteer force of tens of thousands of volunteers
scattered across the country to aid in times of natural disasters sounds
great, the details and timing of this new government army is somewhat
curious, if not disturbing.
DHS raising an armed army
The first problem one finds with this ‘new army’ is the fact that
they are mere children. Yes, 18 is generally the legal age a person
can sign a contract, join the military or be tried as an adult. But ask
any parent – an 18, 20 or even a 24 year-old is still a naïve,
readily-influenced kid.
The second problem with this announcement and program is its
timing. Over the past two years, President Obama has signed a number of
Executive Orders suspending all civil and Constitutional rights and
turning over management of an America under Martial Law to FEMA. Also in
that time, domestic federal agencies under DHS, including FEMA, have
ordered billions of rounds of ammunition as well as the corresponding
firearms. Admittedly, these new weapons and ammunition aren’t to be
used in some far-off war or to fight forest fires in California, but
right here on the streets of America.
Strange Armored Fighting Vehicles
Individuals around the US have begun reporting the site of
strange, new, heavily-armed FEMA fighting vehicles. What would a
disaster relief agency like FEMA need with 2,500 brand new GLS armored
fighting vehicles? According to the agency’s own mandate, as well as
President Obama’s recent Executive Order, the answer is ‘population
control’ during a time of Martial Law.
One set of images made available by Rense.com shows
trailer after trailer carrying these new DHS and FEMA armored fighting
vehicles, complete with machine gun slots. They’re labeled with the
usual backward American flag and the title, ‘Homeland Security’. Below
that and the DHS logo, it also reads, ‘Immigration & Customs
Enforcement’. Joining those markings, the black vehicles with white
lettering also display ‘POLICE/RESCUE’ on one side and ‘Special Response
Team’ on the other.

FEMA Corps
FEMA Deputy Administrator Rich Serino gave the keynote address at
the ‘Induction Ceremony’ for the inaugural class of FEMA Corps
members. According to the DHS website, ‘Corps members assist with
disaster preparedness, response, and recovery activities, providing
support in areas ranging from working directly with disaster survivors
to supporting disaster recovering centers to sharing valuable disaster
preparedness and mitigation information with the public.’
Serino describes what the first FEMA Corps class has accomplished so far, as well as where they’ll be going next:
‘Yesterday, we welcomed 231 energetic members into the first ever
FEMA Corps class. The members just finished off their first month of
training with our partners at the Corporation for National and
Community Service (CNCS) and are one step closer to working in the field
on disaster response and recovery. They will now head to FEMA’s Center
for Domestic Preparedness to spend the next two weeks training in
their FEMA position-specific roles. Once they complete both the CNCS
and FEMA training, these 231 dedicated FEMA Corps members will be
qualified to work in one of a variety of disaster related roles,
ranging from Community Relations to Disaster Recovery Center support.’
A standing army
Unlike most local disaster response teams who are volunteers,
training periodically and only showing up when there’s a disaster, the
FEMA Corps will be a paid, full time, standing army of government
youth. FEMA Deputy Administrator Sarino goes on to explain, ‘The new
members, who range in age from 18-24 years old, will contribute to a
dedicated, trained, and reliable disaster workforce by working
full-time for ten months on federal disaster response and recovery
efforts.’
In closing his announcement of the first graduating class of FEMA
Corps Youth, Sarino describes his and the agency’s vision of the
future, one where ‘FEMA Corps sets the foundation for a new generation
of emergency managers’.
DHS arms itself
As we detailed in the August 28 Whiteout Press article ‘History
of DHS Ammunition Purchases’, federal emergency management agencies are
looking more and more like a military army every day.
The federal government’s procurement website actually lists DHS’
requests for bids to supply it with ammunition and military weaponry.
All of the orders listed in the above article, including the orders for
hundreds of millions of rounds of ammunition, are publicly available
at http://www.fbo.gov/.
One look at a chart of DHS ammunition purchases over the past
decade reveals a drastic spike in orders of bullets recently, totaling
in the billions of rounds. Other charts available online show a similar
drastic spike in the purchases of accompanying weaponry by the
Department of Homeland Security.
What is the US federal government preparing for? And why does it
feel it needs an army of brainwashed youth, millions of guns, thousands
of armored fighting vehicles and literally billions of rounds of
ammunition, just to provide relief to the American people during a
natural disaster? Any historian will tell you it sounds more like the
arming of the Hitler Youth than an army of first responders fighting
forest fires and hurricanes.
Unsourced sensations are almost always fake. This page

........purports to debunk the story at hand, but notice how slippery it is in its haste to zap any notion of conspiracy. Angles:
* Wikipedia has only one mention of a FEMA Corps:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=fema+corps&title=Special%3ASearch
It is normally berserk in its promotion of government activity. Did its contributors really just not notice this strange development?
* The above factcheck link touts the Corps as a project of AmeriCorps. What's that, you ask? I must say it bears an uncomfortable resemblance to something like a US fedgov Hitler Youth without guns.
http://www.americorps.gov/
* What do these all these fedgov-regimented youth do, exactly? "Once they complete both the CNCS and FEMA training," says DHS.gov, "these 231 dedicated FEMA Corps members will be qualified to work in one of a variety of disaster related roles, ranging from Community Relations to Disaster Recovery Center support."
Community -- there's that lovely, and preciously vague, word again. This picture fine and dandy but if we must have these immense, sinister, unaccountable bureaucracies, what this citizen would like to have most from them is footage of them teaching these kiddies the Bill of Rights, or maybe the perpetrators of DHS' Hurricane Katrina "relief" efforts on trial -- you know, the honchos who commanded those young agents to go house to house confiscating weapons etc.
New Orleans had enough of a disaster thanks to the Army Corps of Engineers' strategic multi-decade neglect of the levees holding the Gulf of Mexico back from town (not from the hurricane!). The fedgov's relief campaign was almost as bad! How do such crimes against humanity just sink beneath the waves of forgetfulness, leaving groups like FEMA to ravage further areas in the throes of catastrophe -- or to ignore them as alleged in the case of Hurricane Sandy just a few weeks ago?
We certainly should be concerned about the formation of any kind of youth corps by the fedgov. Haven't they suffered enough sitting 12 years in soul-killing public schoolrooms and battered by moral/cultural decadence literally from birth?
