Late to the story, Pravda (WaPo) Parrots Kremlin Cover Up Line.

ATF Deputy Director Melson reads the Washington Post, confident that the cover up story is still holding.

"ATF gunrunning probe strategy scrutinized after death of Border Patrol agent."

The Fast and Furious case was one of the biggest gun trafficking cases since Project Gunrunner began in 2006. It was seen by the ATF as a response to criticism from the Justice Department's inspector general that the firearms bureau was bringing too many minor cases against straw purchasers, individuals who buy guns for others or traffickers.

Yeah, too bad the 2,000 plus rifles smuggled south with a wink and a nod -- with the deliberate failure of the ATF to inform the Mexican authorities despite their own Mexico City attache's loud protests -- got a Border Patrol agent killed. So, what do you think the next IG report is going to say? After the hearings, I mean.

Defender said...: "Court records do not indicate that the agents deliberately allowed weapons to cross the border into Mexico. On at least two occasions, agents stopped and seized arms shipments headed for the border.

Lone Wolf issued a statement in defense of the ATF, stating that the agents operated "in a very professional and proper manner."

COURT records. Well, it hasn't been a court matter yet, has it?
And what else is Lone Wolf going to say, "ATF is the new Gestapo but they hold our testicles in an iron grip and we like being in business"?; February 2, 2011 at 6:06 AM

Defender said...: Izvestia?

Anonymous said...: Having no faith left in our government, or I should say those who populate it now, it will be the story that sticks to the wall like pasta, among the many others that they will throw against that wall. This also means that I believe that the "sticking" will be allowed to happen because too many insiders have their balls on the table including far to many republicans and other rinos.

Any push we get will come from the net because we know what the media, including fox news, will do with this. It also may come to pass that talking will have to end.; February 2, 2011 at 8:47 AM
Mark Matis said...: Of course, the REAL question is whether the hearings will even begin before we have OUR "Egypt"..; February 2, 2011 at 12:38 PM
Dedicated_Dad said...: I can't find my post, maybe it wasn't here, but I posted both writers contact info and my challenge to them which included links to here and David's stuff within the last couple of weeks.

Glad to see they noticed, though it would have been nice if the slimy pikes had given some credit to those (Mike/Dave) who did the yeoman's work for them and the rest of us...

"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.
