ATF Counsel email to Melson on Gunwalker-Terry murder link preceded intimidation

Examined objectively, Rubenstein admitted guns were purposely allowed to walk, that walking guns to a foreign country must be hidden from the public, and that if the Mexicans found out about it, cooperative law enforcement efforts would be jeopardized. [More]

Another exclusive from Gun Rights Examiner and Sipsey Street Irregulars, evidently because elite media wants us to continue to break new ground while they either ignore or undermine the search for the truth...

Includes copies of the emails.

Hi!

Yes, it is all about you. [Read]

Issa holds telephone press conference on ‘Gunwalker’ with bloggers

A developing consensus among online reporters following this story: If elite media “Authorized Journalists” can’t be trusted to report on it, a means now exists to bypass the former exclusive gatekeepers and get the word out. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report prescribes a bypass operation.

The Battle of Baton Rouge was a siege during the American Revolutionary War that was decided on September 21, 1779. Baton Rouge was the second British outpost to fall to Spanish arms during Bernardo de Gálvez's march into British West Florida. [More]

What, no churros?

"A Little Bit of Hypocrisy"

Not that he's an environmentalcase fraud, but that the gun-grabbing sonofabitch has an armed state trooper assigned to him. [Read]

And it's a lot more than "a little bit."

‘Elite’ media treatment of Gunwalker is scandalous

So does this now make “Gunwalker” a “bonafide scandal,” worthy of notice by our revered opinion-makers, not just mere “Authorized Journalists” but elite ones? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes a barring of the gates to maintain the sanctity of the cloister.

This Day in History: September 20

William Barton, Lieutenant, 1st NJ, "Remained until 4 P. M. in consequence of a detachment being sent down the south of Senakee lake to destroy a town there, and another down the north side Kihuga to destroy a chain of towns, part of which is to proceed to Fort Schuyler, and conduct the baggage of Gen. Clinton's brigade down to headquarters, by way of Albany, when we proceeded and crossed the outlet of the Genesssee [Seneca] lake and encamped at Sunset, having marched 4 miles. At head of the Kihuga is a remarkable salt spring where the Indians all get a supply of salt." [More]

Booger Hook...

Bang bi...uh...switch...[Read]

Idiot.

And an anti-gun idiot at that (isn't that redundant?)

One who signed HCI's "Open Letter to NRA."

"We are not 'gun haters'," they protested...

No, of course not. That's why they want to start a civil war.  They're all about gun safety. For the children.

Like signatory Miss Piggy here.

I wonder how many 12-year-old girls are going to think this is cool behavior.

Or is 12 a little old for this pathetic slag?

Speaking of Increasingly Ridiculous

Actually, what's ridiculous is the insistence that "The operation itself was a failed attempt to take down Mexican cartels." [Read]

Explain how that works?

And we won't have to "try not to laugh." Unlike you regressives, we're concerned with lives lost and lives still at risk, and determining something you obviously fear: the truth.

WTF?

David Codrea must have a little beanie hat with antenna that pick up on Gunwalker communications. Later, David reported that Gunwalker was making straw-man purchase deliveries to top White House personnel...Once clear of the NSA’s tallest tower, SpoofMeister immediately called David Codrea, and you have the story! [More]

Does anyone have any idea what this person is talking about? I guess I should assume he's pro-gun and it's a humor article? If so, I don't get it...

UPDATE: Just got this from the author of the piece:

Dear David:

I wrote a spoof on Gunwalker, here, using farce to illustrate the scandal’s features, and mentioned your uncanny success in tracking the twists, turns, and players.  Not sure of meaning re your email; perhaps you are signed up for word alerts and are trying to figure out how you got mentioned on my blog.

While I am emailing back, thank you for your continuing expose’.  I realize that your method is hard work, not magical administration intercepts.

Sincerely,

Mike Mollenhour

ATF agents fear new leadership looks like more of same

Deputy AD tells Phoenix field employees Issa/Grassley probe “a political move”? Whistleblower website calls for special prosecutor [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report picks up on some insider clues that the administration still thinks it can get away with murder.

I tend to think they may be right, based on negligible support efforts to spread the word and demand accountability have received from the "someone else can do it/why bother?" community.

This Day in History: September 19

Above and beyond his share of the prize money and cargoes Commodore Whipple received a communication dated September 19, 1779 from the Marine Committee of the Continental Congress, congratulating him on the success of his cruise and urging the speedy preparation of the vessel Providence for another cruise. [More]

We're the Only Ones Collaterally Damaging Enough

Officers then fired at the suspect, who was not hit. However, two bystanders were hit by the gunfire. [More]

Unfortunately, no armed citizens were present to stop the badged assailants and protect the innocents, San Francisco being what it is.

VA gun owner ‘not guilty’ on brandishing charge-media reporting arrest ignores

Regular readers may recall the story of gun rights activist Paul Henick, arrested for brandishing a firearm in Virginia last November.

Except he didn’t brandish a firearm, he pointed a finger. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column reports something the "Authorized Journalists" haven't--news that a gun advocate who's mug shot they posted is not guilty.

The "S" Word

Right.  Obama's the bestest, most bravest most honest president ever. [Read]

And WaPo is the final arbiter.  "Political scientists" pinpointing "elite opinions" for us said it, I believe it, that settles it.  Say, that oughtta be a bumper sticker or something...

You have to wonder how many "intellectuals" promoting such crap are mere Kool-Aid-swallowing fools, as opposed to evil, manipulating liars...

What's in a Name?

Just had a thought about this...

Don't think of them as "American Family Voices"...

Think of them as the Mike Lux Klan.

All the most "progressive" (not to mention well-heeled) national socialists belong...

I'd love to see that name stick.

We do need to get Lou on board about that "botched operation" terminology...
