ATF Deputy Director Melson doing the French Mistake in Lyon.

Why don't you bring us back some fromage, hey Ken?

"With our current dismal financial situation, we have a bunch of execs in Lyon France. Perfect. Since we all know the French are flooding America with guns." -- Experienced ATF street agent.

With his agency burning down around his head in the Project Gunwalker scandal, Deputy Director Kenneth Melson, along with W. Larry Ford and an entourage of taxpayer-supported headquarters sycophants, toadies and lickspittles is taking the opportunity afforded by this crisis to escape to Lyon, France. Of course, since Lanny Breuer and Main Justice are now running his agency and the cover-up, I suppose he is superfluous to the ATF's needs at the moment. Have a good time, Ken, doin' the French Mistake. Exclusive video of Melson's visit:

Defender said...: Lyon was a centre for the occupying German forces and also a stronghold of resistance during World War II, and the city is now home to a resistance museum. (See also Klaus Barbie.) The traboules, or secret passages, through the houses enabled the local people to escape Gestapo raids.

Anonymous said...: Curious....why Lyon? I had a look at Le Progres and Lyon Capitale (Lyon newsrags) online and there's no mention of any kind of international LE conference, or any other kind for that matter. The French press is pretty good at informing what the ville or canton/department/regional/national governments are up to. The only LE-type thing that I can find is that Lyon managed to convince the State to keep a CRS (riot police) company there.

Keep them out of DC now that questions are beginning to be asked?

Defender said...: Barack "Republicans to the back of the bus" Obama went to India and Indonesia to escape his "shellacking" in November.
Still going forward with enviro-regulating business to death even as they fold, and Obamacare regardless of a ruling of unconstitutionality.
Ever get the feeling we're not being listened to?

W W Woodward said...: If they went to Lyons on a gun buying trip they can get some really good army surplus arms. Never fired and only dropped once.

"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.

"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.
