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.
