"To this day, people in Chicago are still scared about being murdered for talking about Barack Obama being gay or about what goes on at Trinity United with the still-active "Down Low Club". Young, gay, black men are mentored into the club and are eventually paired up with often unattractive and difficult to deal with straight black women who never have boyfriends (since guys don't want to have anything to do with them). A friend of mine in the "Think Squad" of prominent black professionals I talk to regularly calls these women "heifers" and says it's very common for "cake boys" to be paired up with "heifers" so that "dummies are fooled" into thinking they are straight."
McConnell believes Serco has reconfigured Vancouver's E-Comm 9-1-1 facility as a Red Switch hub so that Canada can override the U.S. National Command Authority during periods of civil unrest and use Virginia's mobile emergency operations centers to direct mass murder of citizens with hollow-point ammunition and force Washington to surrender to Obama paramilitaries.
McConnell suggests that Canadians check out 32-year veteran Serco manager Bob Coulling who appears to have the tradecraft skills needed for scripted killings at staged mass casualty events, especially his experience in electronic warfare, tagging, asset recovery and paedophile image analysis for the UK MOD, GCHQ, CESG, Police, Home Office, Serious Organised Crime Agency, Ministry of Justice and Customs and Revenue and Immigration Service.

Security under investigation for massive ammo buys

The
Department of Homeland Security is under investigation for purchasing large
stockpiles of ammunition, days before legislation was introduced that would
restrict the amount a government agency can legally buy.
The
Government Accountability Office is now conducting the investigation into the
alleged DHS purchases, which is "just getting
underway," GAO spokesman Chuck Young told US News & World Report.
DHS
officials have repeatedly denied stockpiling ammunition, but AP reports claim that
the agency plans to buy more than 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition over the
next four or five years, and has already bought 360,000 rounds of hollow point
bullets and 1.5 billion rounds in 2012.
DHS
claims that it is buying ammo in bulk to save money, but experts have pointed
out that hollow point bullets cost nearly twice as much as full metal jacket
rounds. They also explode on impact for maximum damage, which has caused some
Americans to wonder what purpose they would serve the DHS domestically. Purchasing
1.6 billion rounds of ammo would also give DHS the means to fight the
equivalent of a 24-year Iraq War. Members of Congress say the DHS has
repeatedly refused to tell them the purpose of procuring such
large amounts of ammo.
"They
have no answer for that question," Congressman Timothy Huelscamp told
Infowars in March, pointing out that the purchases are being made at a time
when sequestration should be limiting the agency's spending. "...We're
going to find out... I say we don't fund them until we get an answer."
DHS
officials testified last week that it was only planning to purchase up to 750
million rounds of ammunition for training centers and law enforcement over the
next five years. The agency's spokesman, Peter Boogaard, told Congress that the
media reports are 'misleading'. But Boogard also mentioned a second five-year
contract for up to 450 million rounds of ammunition for law enforcement
purposes. Together, the two DHS contracts for ammunition would result in
purchases of up to 1.2 billion rounds of ammo.
"With
more than 100,000 armed law enforcement personnel in DHS, significant
quantities of ammunition are used to support law enforcement operations, quarterly
qualifications, and training, to include advanced firearms training
exercises," Boogard said.
But
the DHS testimony did not provide an adequate explanation for the large amount
of ammo it plans to procure, prompting a GAO investigation at approximately the
same time as the introduction of the AMMO Act.
The
new legislation, which was introduced in both the Senate and the House on
Friday, would prevent government agencies from buying any more ammunition if
its stockpiles are already larger than what they were in previous presidential
administrations.
Proponents
of the bill suspect that government agencies may be making large ammunition
purchases to keep the supplies out of the hands of Americans at a time when the
administration has been trying to reduce gun violence.
"President
Obama has been adamant about curbing law-abiding Americans' access and
opportunities to exercise their Second Amendment rights," US Sen. Jim
Inhofe, who introduced the bill, said in a news release. "One way the
Obama Administration is able to do this is by limiting what's available in the
market with federal agencies purchasing unnecessary stockpiles of ammunition...
[DHS] has two years worth of ammo on hand and allots nearly 1,000 more rounds
of ammunition for DHS officers than is used on average by our Army
officers."
Congressman
Frank Lucas cited an ammunition shortage in Oklahoma and blamed the DHS for
taking away Americans' Second Amendment rights by removing ammo from the
market.
The
GAO investigation will attempt to determine whether there truly is a reason for
the large ammo purchases, or whether DHS is simply buying large quantities to
save money in the long run."

"E-Comm
9-1-1 is a multi-municipality agency that provides emergency
communications operations for the region of southwest British Columbia. The
company coordinates 9-1-1 service for police, fire,
and ambulance service, providing call-taking and dispatch services for multiple
agencies in the Lower Mainland area.
E-Comm's service area covers Metro Vancouver (from Lions Bay to Langley),
the Sunshine Coast
Regional District, south Squamish-Lillooet
Regional District and the Whistler-Howe Sound area serving a population of
more than two million residents. The company provides call-taking for all
participating municipalities, transferring incoming calls to the appropriate
agency. Furthermore, E-Comm provides dispatch services for eleven police
departments and nineteen fire departments.[1]
E-Comm
owns and operates the Wide-Area Radio Network (WARN), a shared communications
system used by police agencies, fire departments and the entire British Columbia
Ambulance Service in Metro Vancouver.[2] The
WARN features earthquake-resistant infrastructure and enhanced security
measures, providing improved coverage, clarity, and reliability.[2] The
WARN allows for real-time communication between members of separate agencies,
increasing inter-agency communication and coordination.
History
[edit]
Interest
in consolidating emergency communications in southwest British Columbia began
in the early 1990s following a series of large-scale disasters. The
disorganized state of emergency communications during those incidents
demonstrated that contemporary un-integrated communications services were not
effective in dealing with large incidents, and required reform.[3]
In
spring of 1994, hockey fever captured British Columbia as the Vancouver Canucks advanced to
the Stanley Cup finals.
When they lost the seventh and final game of the series, huge crowds of fans
took to the streets to lament the team's loss, and were quickly joined by
troublemakers attracted to the large groups of people. The unhappy crowd soon
erupted into a full-scale riot. The Vancouver Police were forced to
call in the Crowd Control Unit and request back up from neighbouring Royal Canadian Mounted
Police (RCMP) detachments in an effort to disperse the
out-of-control crowd.[3] In
the midst of the chaos, the Vancouver Police radio system was unable to handle
the increased amount of radio traffic.[3] Paramedics,
firefighters and police found themselves in danger because their radio systems
were not compatible with each other.
Following
the riot, widely known as the Stanley Cup Riot, the provincial
government began planning for an organization that would consolidate all
emergency radio and phone services to allow information sharing between
agencies and members. E-Comm was established under the Emergency
Communications Corporations Act of 1997.[3] As
a cost-recovery business corporation, it is owned by stakeholders made up of
all the agencies that use its service, which include municipalities, police
boards, provincial and federal government agencies, and crown corporations.[3]
The
E-Comm Facility[edit]
E-Comm
is located at 3301 East Pender Street, across from the Pacific National Exhibition.
The E-Comm building is a post-disaster facility, designed to resist a major
earthquake or other large-scale disaster, permitting the continued operation of
emergency communications in such a situation.[4] Special
attention was paid to the facility's mechanical, electrical, structural and
communication systems to ensure they are highly reliable, fault tolerant and
resistant to hazard. The building is a reinforced concrete structure with
shatter-proof glass, and has storage capacity for emergency food and water.[4] Backup
support systems that lend to the building's self-sufficiency include
communication, mechanical plants, emergency power generation, uninterruptible power sources,
and emergency water and food storage.[4]
The
City of Vancouver's Office of Emergency Management and Emergency Operations
Centre (EOC), Vancouver Emergency Community Telecommunications Organization
(VECTOR), and Vancouver Emergency Social Services (ESS)
are also located inside the E-Comm building.
Governance
and shareholders[edit]
E-Comm
is managed by a Board of Directors made up of 18
members nominated by the shareholders. Day to day operation is managed by the
President & CEO of E-Comm.
Shareholders
include:[5]
RCMP "E" Division is
not a shareholder of E-Comm even though RCMP officers in BC are within the
E-Comm radio network."
