Editor:
Something in our government has occurred recently that is very disturbing to me. Having been a teenager in the 1930s, I saw this happen in Germany.
On Sept. 13, of this year (2012), the Department of Homeland Security graduated its first class of "FEMA Corps Youth", also known as the Homeland Youth or FEMA Youth. There were 231 young men of the ages 18 to 24 in this initial group, with a projection of several thousand for the future. This sounds great as they will be used to work and help clean up in time of natural disasters.
This is not something new. If history was taught in schools these days, one would know that Hitler did the same thing. He organized youth groups to work on the farms. However, these young boys eventually ended up in the German Army. Of course, this history is not taught in our schools today.
As with everything connected with Obama there is a catch, or more politely, something not disclosed. In this case it is that several federal agencies, including FEMA, have ordered millions of rounds of ammunition along with the firearms for this ammunition. This is very disturbing. What do firearms have to do with cleaning up natural disasters as the recent Sandy storm on the East Coast?
My thinking is, that as soon as FEMA has several thousand in this, shall we say Youth Army, Obama will proclaim himself dictator of the USA.
As they say, "Anything is possible", and this has happened before.
