State Dept. Begins Weaponry, Explosives, Jungle Equipment Shopping-Spree

Predicting future actions of the U.S. State Dept. and its affiliated entities – at least with any degree of specificity or credibility – is a difficult and arguably hazardous task. In order to make such predictions, journalists typically would need inside sources on the order of magnitude of “Deep Throat” or else gain access to secret governent documents. As for me, I continue to follow the money trail and connect the dots, primarily by scrutinizing the buying habits of critical federal departments and agencies.

In recent weeks I have come across multiple new documents indicating heightened activity by the State Dept. – activity, that is, apparently involving U.S. Special Forces. Based on a review of these documents, an increase in jungle-based Drug War conflict may be coming. Specifically, I have discovered that State is planning to purchase and distribute many thousands of replacement parts for weaponry designed for “close-quarters battle” situations, in addition to acquiring thousands of articles of U.S. Army-specification hot-weather combat uniforms.
