Mike, I am very impressed with the success of your and David Codrea's efforts in getting this story into the Mainstream media that most clueless citizens still watch and read. I truly didn't expect the story would go this far, and I honestly was getting tired of your posts on this, simply because I thought it is another lost cause (to be buried by TPTB), and I missed reading your opinion on other events.
I will say that each time I go to any (not just Codrea's) of the "Examiner" sites, I am sorry I did, as crap keeps popping up everywhere on the screen (using Firefox with most pop-up blocks, but not on his page). It takes me 2 minutes to wait for, and clean up, all the crap on the screen so I can read some frickin text that should take .05 s to load.
Great job, and another comment in a minute (I don't like to make 'em too long).
Due to the fact that I haven't read all of your posts on the gunwalker scandal, I may be bringing up here something you already said. If so, you can correct me.
I don't know any ATF insiders or anyone else (thank the Lord for small favors) like you do, Mike, but, I feel that the government's main reason to do this is purely to bring on more gun restriction/control to Americans. If they can support the "all this Mexican drug-cartel violence is due to America's gun culture" theme, that will help that cause. Any thinking American knows that the cause of drug violence is the prohibition of the drugs, but that doesn't fit the government control freaks' agenda at all.
Maybe my point is obvious, but I think the mainstream news people and others, perhaps, have basically just treated this as an example of a bad means to an end (i.e. it would all be fine, if ATF had just busted guys buying those guns, and all they want is to stop the violence). Bullcrap, the ATF seems to be under a government mandate to do whatever they have to do to prove/make-up a connection between Americans' gun freedoms (so-to-speak) and drug-runner violence.
Walter, Try cleaning out all of your cookies and update and run "spybot-search and destroy", then get spybot to "innoculate" your system, which will stop the common ones from getting back into it.
I'm using opera browser and I only block the really annoying stuff (opera can do that without an add on), but I don't get any problems with pop ups on examiner.
That makes me think it might be your machine that is carrying the popups with it.
also get crapcleaner or glary utilities, you can use both to routinely clean out cookies and securely delete private stuff, like financial docs.
Borepatch's blog has some great computer security stuff, he does it for a living and has the gift of being able to describe it in an understandable way.
He introduced me to Opera browser.
The next adventure is to change to ubuntu's version of linux operating system...

The question I have is: HOW LONG UNTIL THEY REALLY LASH OUT AND TRY TO a) Try to distract the public and b) get a little payback ala Sipsey Street?

What say you, Mike (if you haven't already)?

Soory, I wrote Walter and meant Mel, damn, I should know by now never to start typing until I've had my wake-me-up coffee!
