"Black Wednesday." Melson on suicide watch? Or just about to roll? Hearing revelations hit fifth floor of ATF HQ "like a bomb."

Heard from two sources today that the revelations at yesterday's hearing (dubbed "Black Wednesday" over at CleanUpATF.org) about Acting ATF Director Kenneth "Gunwalker Man" Melson hooked into Internet video of the Lone Wolf Trading Company hit the Fifth Floor of ATF HQ "like a bomb."

One source said, "Melson looks like he's been suckered punched and then run over by a Mack truck." He added, "I hope they've got him on suicide watch."

Another repeated a rumor to the same effect and then added, "The whispering is that he's ready to roll. He's been waffling back and forth on the decision for months, but the thinking is that this latest stuff at the hearing will push him into Issa and Grassley's lap. He's the (administration's) designated goat, he knows it, and he really doesn't have much choice."

Well, Ken, all I can tell you is if you want to roll and don't have Grassley's number, give me a call. I'll be glad to help you out. I've got Sharyl Attkisson's number too.

Vlad Z. said...: Let's not be naive. Of course he has a choice. It's the same one he's had for months: he can live up to his oath, tell the truth, help reveal a terrible wrong perpetrated by the government against the citizens, and take his lumps like a man ... OR ... he can act like a lying weasel, conspire with his fellow perps in concocting coverup stories, lies and sping, and try to sell it with the help of the Obama-complicit media. And, he can even take one for the team and be fired or forced to resign.

In which case he will take a quick spin through the revolving door and be hired by some administration-connected entity, perhaps in the security field.

Looked at from the point of view of connniving coward with no sense of right and wrong - the second optoin is the only one worth consideration.

So that's what he's going to do.; June 16, 2011 at 5:36 PM

Anonymous said...: I may have missed it but I haven't seen anyone propose the thought that some of these weapons weren’t bought by some random straw purchasers but really ATF agents to increase the numbers of weapons supposedly going south. I still have a hard time believing that that many weapons are purchased here and taken south when the prices here in the States are 20% to 100% more expensive then what they pay in Mexico or even further south.; June 17, 2011 at 9:46 AM
Anonymous said...: I'd suggest that he avoid one-on-one meetings in Hillery's office and stay away from DC parks. And considering the nitwh's Chicago background, he might want to avoid white house invites as well.; June 17, 2011 at 9:59 AM

"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.
