Sipsey Street Irregulars: Senators now in contact with ATF agents about Project Gunwalker scandal.

Senators now in contact with ATF agents about Project Gunwalker scandal.

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. -- Sir Winston Churchill, November 1942.

David Codrea reports "‘Project Gunwalker’ sources talking to Senate staffers" and all my sources concur.

Insider sources claiming they can provide testimony and documentation to confirm allegations raised in the “Project Gunwalker” story reported previously in this column are now in contact and/or have been placed in touch with Senate staffers.

As David says, "We have lift-off."

Now keep banging on those Congresscritters to stand down the ATF from major raids until we have the whole truth about Project Gunwalker and the death of Border Patrol officer Terry.

Nevertheless, glad to see some movement in the right direction!

End the ATF!

Even so, a Senate staffer who does nothing about this will eventually have a lot of explaining to do.; January 21, 2011 at 3:51 PM
fireplaceguy said...: Perhaps this is just the beginning of the beginning. Let's hope that rocket is fully fueled...

It's a bit premature for congratulations, I know, but nonetheless my hat's off to Mike and David for everything they've done thus far. You have my respect, and that's not a trivial thing. I hope everyone reading this has done as much or more than I to help spread the word.

Dennis308 said...: I'm not going to Jump for Joy quite yet. Witnesses Talking to Staffers is still a Long way from Hearings,that might still end in Nothing Happening.

Excuse my Pessimism but after the Waco and Ruby Ridge hearings I have little faith in the Senate or Congress(not thier authority but they can put preasure on the Senate) to Actually Convict Anyone from these Alphabet Soup Terrorists Organizations, sill I call my Senators and Congressman in hope that they prove me wrong.

For one thing, the Brady Coalition's divorce from reality is final.

Anonymous said...: I contacted Senator Rand Paul's office on this this week, and they said they will look into it.
If I had a Congressman who was not a butt licking DemonRat Communist, I mean butt licking DemonRat Socialist, I mean butt licking DemonRat Libeal I would have called his office too.
It is time to use what political power we have to light a fire.; January 22, 2011 at 10:46 AM
fireplaceguy said...: I'm with Dennis308 on this. My prediction about our new "conservative" congress is that it will be a repeat of Newt's "Contract With America" in 1994.

In retrospect, that whole show was a placebo. They passed a bunch of bills, but nothing really changed. Business as usual has been the name of their game for decades, and their game never changes.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
