Is Homeland Security Building a Mercenary Unit? DHS to Hire “Top Secret” Domestic Security Force
The Department of Homeland
Security is to spend $19 million dollars on a private security force in
Wisconsin and Minnesota, an armed unit that must have a “Top Secret”
security clearance according to an official solicitation.
According to a solicitation posted
on the Federal Business Opportunities website, the Federal Protective
Service, a sub-agency of the DHS, intends to hire “armed Protective
Security Officer (PSO) services at various locations throughout the
states of Minnesota and Wisconsin.”
“The project will have a
requirement for the contractor to have a Top Secret facility clearance
by the start of performance,” states the FPS notice.
Unlike previous
solicitations, which normally detail how the guards will be deployed to
protect government buildings, the document does not divulge what role
the armed security force will undertake.
The fact that the
contractors being hired must have a “Top Secret” security clearance
clearly suggests that the DHS is not merely seeking to hire armed
guards, but Blackwater-style mercenaries who will be engaged in some
kind of clandestine activity.
The notion of an armed
security force operating domestically under a “Top Secret” designation,
something normally reserved for foreign spying and military operations,
underscores how the DHS increasingly treats America like some kind of
occupied territory.
The hiring of private
mercenaries with Top Secret clearances also suggests the DHS may be
planning on using the contractors as cutouts who will be involved in a
variety of different operations outside the purview of public and
Congressional scrutiny.
For some, the idea of an
ever-expanding federal government turning to a private security force
with a “Top Secret” clearance will stir memories of Barack Obama’s
pre-election promise to build “a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded (as the US military).”
The DHS’ purchase of over 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition over the course of the last 12 months has also prompted concerns that the feds are gearing up for trouble.
As we previously reported,
the federal agency has spent large sums of money in recent weeks hiring
large numbers of armed guards to protect government buildings, a
development some have connected to the likelihood of civil unrest in
America which could arise from food shortages linked to welfare cuts.
Fox News’ Neil Cavuto suggested that the
Department of Homeland Security’s recent $80 million dollar outlay on
armed guards to protect government buildings in upstate New York was
related to potential food stamp riots.
The federal agency is also seeking to acquire 723,000 hours of armed guard services to protect government buildings in Arkansas and other areas.
The DHS also recently purchased half a million dollars worth of fully automatic pepper spray launchers and projectiles that are designed to be used during riot control situations.
