Inconvenient truths about Jones’ successor at ATF warrant investigation

Let me tell you something about ATF "gunwalking." Did you know that if you go to Wikipedia, you'll find no mention of either me or Mike, or our documented roles in breaking the story while imploring both Congress and the media to even notice it? Go ahead-- go explore that last link for a few minutes and see all the reporting that was done before the rest of the media had written word one. Now find anything in that early reporting that later investigations did not bear out -- notwithstanding discrediting attempts by those taking their talking points from the administration. Several people interested in a complete chronology of events have tried to change that, but their entries were always edited out within a day or so.

See, you two are just sources for sources - not sources of information much less reporters of information.

The authorized class cannot have the serfs thinking they can actually do their protected jobs without first complying with all the permission slip demands. They all might get the idea that their claimed lock on reporting via degree elitism is hogwash - can't be having that!!!

See, they rewrite history as it happens and attempts by others to correct it are rebuffed endlessly. As they lose more and more ability to contain it, they must act more blatantly - as exampled by the wiki-drama.

Boy howdy - can't ya just wait for the Google algorithm that garners the real truth!?

Here is a angle to try.

Do wiki biographies pages on both of you. Then edit what's being rewritten using wiki cross links. That would get oh so interesting!!; March 25, 2015 at 5:06 PM

They can join that fat POS Congressman who died a few years ago on the USMC Wall of Shame....; March 25, 2015 at 6:58 PM

It seems to me that a few industrious individuals could easily make an effort to recreate the bias that was mentioned, document it and then present the evidence - any takers?; March 25, 2015 at 9:03 PM
Anonymous said...: When you go to Wikipedia pages you default to an "article" tab. But there's often a back story where the "authorized" editors discuss changes to the article that you can read by clicking the "talk" and/or "view history" tabs at the top of the page.

Note that in addition to the article page, there is no mention of or links to, David Codrea's National Gun Rights Examiner page, Mike Vanderbeogh's Sipsy Street Irregular's page, or the Clean Up ATF web page where people like former Special Agents Cefalu and Dobyns first brought the ATF's internal problems, including Fast & Furious to public attention on the "talk" page or the "view history" page.

In Isaac Asimov's' Foundation novels we meet an archeologist doing research in the still functioning library in the decaying empire's capital world Trantor. We learn that this archeologist has never touched a shovel or done any original field research in his life, instead he has spent his career sifting, collating and criticising the work of others.

Much like the folks over at Wikipedia.; March 26, 2015 at 9:06 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.
