Yes, you are rather paranoid.
When the US Govt does it, it's because they have a military.
While you wait for an ambush as you walk outside to get your mail.
I think you're blurring the lines here a bit while thinking about the military. See, the DHS isn't really "the military" in the traditional WWI/WWII/"protect our country from outside threats" sense. Per the DHS website: "the Department of Homeland Security works in the civilian sphere to protect the United States within, at, and outside its borders. Its stated goal is to prepare for, prevent, and respond to domestic emergencies, particularly terrorism." So, essentially, the DHS is like a newly-created "internal military" that mainly functions to protect our government and people from terrorists. ... The main thing to note here is the use of the word "terrorists." Now add in the fact that the NDAA was passed recently, which allows for U.S. citizens to be detained without due process for suspicion of terrorism, and a bit of grey area starts to appear. Who decides what the threshold is for detaining a citizen? Is there some sort of criteria being used? Can this criteria be changed, or made more strict in the future by a potentially tyrannical government?
Lets connect the dots here:
- DHS is created as a result of 911 as a sort of "internal military" to battle terrorism.
- Financial meltdown of 2007/8 occurs within months of Ben Bernanke/The Fed stating that our economy is fine.
- The Government then bails out the banks (AIG, etc.) while the Fed continues an unprecedented (in the US) run of printing more and more currency, acting as an indirect tax on the American population and effectively paying for the bailouts.
- NDAA is passed, effectively allowing the goverment/DHS to indefinitely detain American citizens without due process for the mere suspicion of them supporting terrorist groups. (link:

To me these pieces are starting to fit together like a puzzle... Weaken the economy, further consolidate wealth, print shit-tons of money to act as an indirect tax and increase inflation (setting the stage for a financial collapse), create an internal military to be funded by tax dollars/printed money from the Fed, slowly remove barriers to constitutional rights/due process through NDAA, institute domestic use of surveillance/military drones, take steps to disarm the population through gun laws pushed by media sensationalism and coverage of mass-murders, buy up the vast majority of ammunition that can be used to fight back... Now, like a cherry on top, manufacture a food shortage through a "dollar crisis" that is directly the result of the Federal Reserve's extreme policies and lack of oversight, and watch all the dominoes fall.
It definitely does seem as though the DHS has shifted from being prepared for anything to flat-out preparing for something specific. Something that is going to take a shit ton (2.3+ Billion rounds and counting) of ammunition reserves to prepare for.

I'm not saying I have all the answers and I'm definitely not saying that everything I read or post is 100% true, but I am saying that, at the very least, there are absolutely preparations being made by the government for a possible or even probable period of social unrest. Scary stuff, indeed.
