Contracts were for “training aids” and “paperboard” Paul Joseph Watson

February 20, 2013
The company behind controversial shooting targets that
include images of children, pregnant women and elderly gun owners
received almost $2 million dollars in contracts from the Department of
Homeland Security.
The company reacted to the furore by
asserting the products helped override “hesitation on the part of cops
when deadly force is required on subjects with atypical age, frailty or
condition,” and to “break that stereotype on the range, regardless of
how slim the chances are of encountering a real life scenario that
involves a child, pregnant woman, etc.”
The vast majority of those contracts were for “training aids” and “paperboard,” according
to the USASpending.gov website, which lists numerous different
contracts each in the region of $150,000 and $180,000 dollars stretching
back to early 2010 and running through to July 2012.
While it is not known whether the DHS purchased the “no hesitation” targets, a company representative admitted to a customer that law enforcement agencies had “requested” at least one of the images which depicted a pregnant woman as a “threat”.
A customer who called Law Enforcement Inc. yesterday
told Infowars that the company informed him the targets were, “strictly
for Department of Homeland Security and other law enforcement agencies.”
The story has prompted widespread condemnation on the Internet, with Law Enforcement Inc. being slammed by Facebook users after it issued a statement.
Retired City of Houston police officer T.F. Stern reacted to the issue by remarking,
“There’s something wrong, seriously wrong here. If we start to
desensitize law enforcement officers, have them disregard humanity, to
feel nothing’s wrong in shooting a pregnant lady or an old man with a
shotgun inside his own home…then what kind of society have we become?
How will police officers react after they no longer believe they are
part of the society which they have been charged with policing, when
they have become used to shooting pregnant ladies and old men?”
View all the “no hesitation” targets, which are still available on the company’s website, below.

In 2013, Barack Obama published 2 executive orders, from EO 13635 through EO 13636.
These 2 executive orders can be downloaded in
CSV/Excel and
JSON formats. More information about our APIs can be found on our developers page.
Obama Gives Himself Control of all Communication Systems in America
US President Barack Obama quietly signed
his name to an Executive Order on Friday, allowing the White House to
control all private communications in the country in the name of
national security.
President Obama released his latest Executive Order on
Friday, July 6, a 2,205-word statement offered as the “Assignment of
National Security and Emergency Preparedness Communications Functions.”
And although the president chose not to commemorate the signing with
much fanfare, the powers he provides to himself and the federal
government under the latest order are among the most far-reaching yet of
any of his executive decisions.
“The Federal Government must have the
ability to communicate at all times and under all circumstances to
carry out its most critical and time sensitive missions,” the president begins the order. “Survivable,
resilient, enduring and effective communications, both domestic and
international, are essential to enable the executive branch to
communicate within itself and with: the legislative and judicial
branches; State, local, territorial and tribal governments; private
sector entities; and the public, allies and other nations.”
President Obama adds that it is necessary
for the government to be able to reach anyone in the country during
situations it considers critical, writing, “Such communications must
be possible under all circumstances to ensure national security,
effectively manage emergencies and improve national resilience.” Later the president explains that such could be done by establishing a “joint
industry-Government center that is capable of assisting in the
initiation, coordination, restoration and reconstitution of NS/EP
[national security and emergency preparedness] communications services
or facilities under all conditions of emerging threats, crisis or
emergency.”
“The views of all levels of
government, the private and nonprofit sectors, and the public must
inform the development of NS/EP communications policies, programs and
capabilities,” he adds.
On the government’s official website for the National Communications Systems, the government explains that that“infrastructure
includes wireline, wireless, satellite, cable, and broadcasting, and
provides the transport networks that support the Internet and other key
information systems,” suggesting that the president has indeed effectively just allowed himself to control the country’s Internet access.
In order to allow the White House to
reach anyone within the US, the president has put forth a plan to
establish a high-level committee calling from agents with the Department
of Homeland Security, Pentagon, Federal Communications Commission and
other government divisions to ensure that his new executive order can be
implemented.
In explaining the order, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) writes that the president has authorized the DHS "the authority to seize private facilities when necessary, effectively shutting down or limiting civilian communications."
Later, the president announces that the
Department of Homeland Security will be tasked with drafting a plan
during the next 60 days to explain how the DHS will command the
government’s Emergency Telecommunications Service, as well as other
telecom conduits. In order to be able to spread the White House’s
message across the country, President Obama also asks for the purchasing
of equipment and services that will enable such.
US plan for UN to endorse Khamenei’s fatwa? Shock in Jerusalem
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared Iran was a “nuclear state”
during his Cairo visit two weeks ago. Saturday, Feb. 16, supreme leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei shed more light by saying, “Iran is not seeking
nuclear weapons but no power could stop Tehran’s access to an atomic
bomb if it intended to build it. “ debkafile: Iran’s
leaders are therefore quite frank about the state of their nuclear
program: the components of a nuclear weapon have been procured -
defying Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu red lines - but Tehran
has not yet crossed the threshold to assemble it - although this could
be done modularly.
And if the Islamic Republic has acquired the components and knowledge
for surreptitiously building one bomb, it stands to reason that three or
five would be no object.
On Feb. 12, debkafile revealed that Iranian scientists attended the latest North Korean atomic test. Six days later, the Sunday Times
repeated the story, naming Mohsen Fakhrizade-Mahabadi, the senior
Iranian scientist of Iran’s nuclear weapons program, as the official
present. Our Iranian sources strongly doubt that Mahabadi was there
because he is too afraid of kidnapping or assassination to ever leave
Iran.
We also revealed how the Iranian-North Korean nuclear partnership
worked and the division of clandestine labor between them. Their
arrangement – to which Washington and Jerusalem prefer to turn a blind
eye –assigns to Iran the development of small nuclear warheads for
delivery by missiles and to North Korea the development of ballistic
missiles able to land a warhead at any point on the planet.
The two governments work smoothly in tandem, regularly pooling the data obtained from advances in their respective programs.
One such advance was Iran’s successful launch of a monkey into orbit at
an altitude of 120 kilometers on Jan. 28 and its apparent return it to
earth. Washington tried hard to throw cold water on the Iranian feat,
but Tehran countered by citing Western sources as confirming the launch.
A gap still remains in their accounts: Washington does not question the launch of a space capsule - only the monkey aboard.
However, the North Korean test of a “miniature nuclear device,"
combined with Iran’s ability to launch a capsule with a monkey payload
into orbit, add up to their having achieved a nuclear warhead capacity
through shared technology.
After registering these menacing strides, officials in Jerusalem were
dismayed to learn that instead of planning to cut them short, US
President Barack’s Obama’s circle in Washington was studying a bizarre
plan for the opposite objective.
It surfaced in an article published Tuesday, Feb. 12, by Ambassador
Thomas Pickering, a veteran American diplomat who is influential in the
framing of Obama’s Iranian policy.
This what he wrote: “In years past, he (Khamenei) issued a fatwa
condemning nuclear weapons. Washington could take advantage of this fact
by drafting a UN Security Council resolution endorsing the fatwa. This
could be a small step toward boosting Khamenei’s international profile
while simultaneously pressuring Iran to follow its own religious
decree.”
Instead of dismantling these rogue nuclear programs, Pickering was
proposing to legitimize Iran’s possession of a nuclear bomb capacity
that only stopped one step short of assembling a bomb.
For the Shiite republic, UN endorsement as a nuclear power would be an
epic triumph with ramifications for many years to come on its standing
and the shape of the Middle East and Persian Gulf.
It would also endow Khamenei’s fatwa with false religious value – and
not just for Sunni Muslims. Khamenei has neither the authority nor the
erudition for issuing a binding Shiite fatwa either. Yet Pickering
proposes extending the supreme leader a religious honor denied him by
the leading Shiite clerics of Qom.
This fatwa has always been dismissed until now as a piece of propaganda
designed to disguise the military aspects of Iran’s nuclear program and
support Tehran’s claim that it was purely for peaceful use and
research.
The stratagem floating around the White house for buttering up Khamenei
and granting his edict international legitimacy just weeks before
President Obama’s March 20 visit to Jerusalem is causing consternation
among his Israeli hosts. It is a worrying pointer to the direction in
which his Iran policy is heading.

The Investigative Project on Terrorism has produced a new documentary titled "Jihad in America: the Grand Deception."
This is a documentary worth watching and promoting. Our popular press
and political culture have ignored this threat, and the Obama
administration is actively promoting Islam, both here and abroad. Muslim
activists have established positions of authority within the White
House, FBI, DHS, DoD, and elsewhere within our government. Even Grover
Norquist, director of Americans for Tax Reform, has discredited the
threat from Muslim extremists in our midst.
Many experts have echoed the danger articulated in The Grand Deception. The Center for Security Policy's Frank Gaffney has produced a free online video titled "The Muslim Brotherhood in America: A Course in 10 Parts."
Gaffney is a leading expert on national defense issues, and published
"Sharia: the Threat to America ," along with former prosecutor Andrew
McCarthy and others, which details how the Brotherhood has planned to
subvert this country. I reported on this for Right Side News and Breitbart's Big Peace when the book appeared in 2010.
Cliff Kincaid held a National Press Club press conference on February 5th to detail how Al Gore's sale of Current TV
to Al Jazeera threatens to provide this anti-American, radical Islamist
television network a propaganda outlet within our borders. Cliff reports
that Al Jazeera appears to be breaking multiple laws in its effort to
expand its influence among American viewers, Obama's Justice Department
knows about it and is apparently doing nothing.
While the mainstream media and leftwing politicians dance on the
graves of 9-11 victims in their celebration of Islam, the Muslim
Brotherhood has made its intentions clear:
The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work
in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the
Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by
their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and
God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions…
The accompanying chart reveals the Brotherhood's network of
associates and affiliates within the U.S. and throughout the world. This
should offer a snapshot of the problems this organization poses.
It is way past time to stop sacrificing our lives and country on
the alter of political correctness and diversity, and call the Muslim
Brotherhood, most other Muslim advocacy organizations and the
politicians of both parties who support them, the direct national
security threat they are.
