Dave Workman: Indictment in Terry slaying, Issa issues statement.

Nice try on slowing down the investigation.

In a statement issued Friday, Rep. Issa remained critical of the Justice Department:

“The announcement of an indictment against Manuel Osorio-Arellanes for the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry is certainly good news, but leaves critical questions unanswered. The Justice Department still hasn’t said how and why guns purportedly being tracked and monitored by federal law enforcement officials as part of Operation Fast and Furious ended up in the hands of Agent Terry’s killers. It angers me to think that this death might not have occurred had it not been for reckless decisions made by officials at the Department of Justice who authorized and supported an operation that knowingly put guns in the hands of criminals. For these officials to imagine that this operation would result in anything other than a tragic outcome was naive and negligent. Sen. Charles Grassley and I continue to demand accountability as we investigate this matter.”

If they will resort to murdering federal agents by proxy what will the do to citizens who oppose their treason if left unchecked.

It's all gonna be white-washed, and some wet-back is gonna take the fall.; May 7, 2011 at 9:20 PM

The purpose of GUNRUNNER was to further undermine the second amendment with respect to long arms and additional control measures by making it possible to inflate statistics which would validate their opinions and desires. Create the problem and then solve the problem by doing what you really wanted to do all along.

The "news" media, went right along with it, promoting it at every opportunity with the apparent exception of CBS. I still have unanswered question about that. I have no such questions regarding the intentions of the federal government in this matter.

They mean to accomplish this by any means at their command and the Constitution and Bill of Rights be damned. And their courts will up hold all of it, making of you, a slave. This was not done fairly so you may feel no sense of obligation to any of them, they do not feel any towards you, nor this country. They would clearly make of her what they want and not keep her as she has always been and they push us down that Marxists road, to a conclusion we have seen before.; May 8, 2011 at 2:20 AM

Here in PA I have been posting links to this story from early on. The PAFOA.ORG is the Commonwealth's premier gun forum. The thread for this topic is now 27 pages. Sadly, it seems to be of little interest to many who visit the site regularly.

Wake up America!

Longbow said...: Issa is providing them cover:

"For these officials to imagine that this operation would result in anything other than a tragic outcome was naive and negligent."

The people who did this are vicious and evil bastards.

Issa is essentially saying "Oh, I'm sure they're all a bunch of good guys who meant well and wanted to do the right thing. We must help to bring them into the light and mend the error of their ways..."

It sickens me.

An old marching cadence went,

Here we go again
Same old shit again
Marching down the avenue...

Yes, Issa, Grassley, Congres and "we the people" will cut them some slack. Actually, they and we will do nothing about this and the ATF will continue to grow and continue its criminal ways. They know they have nothing to fear.

Anonymous said...: Longbow III, you should go back and look at some of my posts about "gun walker." Some may be here but more will be at KABA. I predicted the outcome of this. Actually, it was no difficult. All it requires is to look at the history of the criminals in Congress and the cowardice of we the people. As always, I include myself in the cowardice.

"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.
