No Fire in the Glory Hole. Vanderwerf gets a lateral transfer to get him away from having to supervise anybody who, quite naturally, experiences a skin-crawling sensation every time they look at him.

Long-time readers will recall this story about Russell Vander Werf, Director of Industry Operations (DIO) for Houston ATF, and his predilection for cutting holes in motel doors to solicit homosexual blowjobs.

I received this email from Robert Farago this morning:

Yesterday, Thomas Brandon just announced the promotion of Russel (Glory Hole) Vanderwerf from Deputy Chief Field Operations Field Management Staff to Deputy Chief Office of the Director Strategic Management.

Checking this report out with my sources, I received this answer back later this afternoon:

Not promotion -- Lateral because the entire industry ops side of the house was complaining about having to report to a guy who sticks his dick in plywood. . . but he's a f--king GS 15. Gotta love America. Now he doesn't technically supervise anybody.

The source observed that while ATF continues to come down on whistleblowers like Vince Cefalu, John Dodson and others, this pervert is maintained in his position. Hmmm. That's right. . . Houston. I wonder what Glory Hole knows about gunwalking in Houston. THAT would be a reason to retain him.

The Federal government, having failed in this duty, is now illegitimate. The Declaration of Independence now demands that we overthrow it.

If you haven't joined a militia; if you haven't selected your local targets, you are not even in the game. You cannot claim the Declaration of Independence as your father's doctrine. You are not even an American in the traditional sense of the word.

And you are now deselected from Gideon's army.

Go home now; pull your sheets over your head, and, well, do what ever you do. I'm sure that Russell Vander Werf will approve.

"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.
