This just in: Eric Holder is in Florida to watch the last space shuttle launch, or help Tampa shred its documents, or initiate Project Moonwalker.

Launch of the last space shuttle. Was Eric Holder aboard?

My spies (actually, Waldo's cousin Frodo) tell me that Eric Holder is in Florida this morning, ostensibly to watch the last space shuttle launch. This has occasioned much mirth among ATF street agents and Gunwalker Scandal aficionados.

Said one: "That's just a cover story. He's really there to help (Tampa SAC) O'Brien cover-up the Honduras connection."

Agreeing, another offered, "Maybe he's there to help O'Brien run the shredders. There's not too many people they can trust with that job."

Yet another disagreed. "No, he's going to hop the shuttle and hide out at the space station along with three suitcases of Gunwalker documents. Obama has promised him a pardon if he'll just hang out up there until after his re-election."

When told of this on his radio show this morning, David Codrea immediately dubbed it "Project Moonwalker."

Attorney General Eric Holder at the Mexico/United States Arms Trafficking Conference

Last week, our administration launched a major new effort to break the backs of the cartels. My department is committing 100 new ATF personnel to the Southwest border in the next 100 days to supplement our ongoing Project Gunrunner, DEA is adding 16 new positions on the border, as well as mobile enforcement teams, and the FBI is creating a new intelligence group focusing on kidnapping and extortion. DHS is making similar commitments, as Secretary Napolitano will detail.; July 8, 2011 at 1:38 PM

Bill Caffrey - HCA Editor said...: Mike, You and David have it all wrong. Holder packed up all the Fast and Furious documents to be moved to their DOJ's new ..uh.. "secure document storage facility" at Tranquility Base on the moon. He's even sending SACs O'Brien and Newell along to make sure they get there safely.; July 9, 2011 at 4:12 PM

"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.
