Rates of diabetes have nearly tripled in the U.S., and more than doubled worldwide since 1980, according to a report this week in the British journal Lancet. More than 347 million patients have diabetes globally, and nearly 25 million in the U.S.
AND
The study muddied the waters concerning the causes of the worldwide rise in diabetes. Previous studies have assumed, as it has in the U.S., that increased economic success lead to a diet higher in refined carbohydrates and a more sedentary lifestyle, both of which contribute to development of type 2 diabetes. And many countries with slower economic growth had slower increases in diabetes, according to the study.
HFCS was first introduced by Richard O. Marshall and Earl R. Kooi in 1957. They were, however, unsuccessful in making it viable for mass production.[24] The industrial production process and creation was made by Dr. Y. Takasaki at the Agency of Industrial Science and Technology of Ministry of International Trade and Industry of Japan in 1965–1970. Dr. Y. Takasaki is known to many as the creator of HFCS. HFCS was rapidly introduced to many processed foods and soft drinks in the U.S. from about 1975 to 1985.
The manner in which FBI officials respond to a federal judge’s order will say a lot about the agency’s failures thusfar to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request for copies of surveillance video captured April 19, 1995, by more than 20 cameras operating in the vicinity of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City.
You become what you are. A cancer on society. You grope and x-ray millions of Americans every year with the full knowledge of your conscience. I don't feel sorry for you pricks one bit.
Yup, neither do I.
Hey you Cowardly Troika! Still feeling sure about your farce of the NO-GROPE bill? About all of the Security Theater? Still feeling good about your oath's of office?

The case against a Rochester woman arrested while videotaping police has been dismissed.
Early Monday afternoon, demonstrators rallied outside the Hall of Justice in support of Emily Good, the city woman who was arrested while videotaping police officers during a traffic stop on May 12th in front of her 19th Ward home. (Click here to watch the video)
Good kept recording police officers while standing in her front yard even though an officer ordered her several times go inside. She was charged with obstructing of governmental administration. Since then, the video from that night has made it onto news shows across the country.
Good's attorney, Stephanie Stare, had asked for the charges to be dismissed. In court Monday, the District Attorney's office says based on a review of the evidence, there was no legal basis to go forward. The charge was withdrawn and the judge dismissed the case.
A joint statement issued by Mayor Tom Richards, City Council President Lovely Warren and Rochester Police Chief James Sheppard says they support the decision of the District Attorney's Office to dismiss the charges against Good. Click here to watch the video of Chief Sheppard's statement.
The statement says whatever the specific circumstances that led to Good's arrest, they see no purpose in pursuing the criminal charges.
Gee Chief Wiggum, I mean Chief Sheppard and Mayor Quimby, excuse me, I mean Mayor Richards, "...whatever the specific circumstances that led to Good's arrest, they see no purpose in pursuing the criminal charges."
Really, truly, pinky-swear? And really, whatever "specific circumstances"? So your are OK that you've hired Jack-Booted Thugs who break their oaths and are terrified of women?
Or, is that a qualification to be hired on to the Rochester, New York PD?
You see I have to ask because neither of you have dropped to you knees to beg forgiveness for hiring such. Are they fired? Are they even put on leave WITHOUT pay? The video evidence shows it, JBT who are afraid of women with video cameras but your mealy mouthed statement is just that- mealy mouthed.
Not that--hell, we expected that. Still to be determined: How many deaths have happened/will still happen on THIS side of the border, as if we'll ever know.
The shocker is ABC News is reporting on it.
The thing is nearly every blog I link to has been asking this for 5+ months in relation to Gunwalker and it is asked nearly everyday- on someones blog. I stated and asked this just last week in my post "...Descent Into Fascism...":
You cannot wash their blood away and what consistently comes to mind is: How many American Citizens names do we NOT know and just HOW MUCH blood is on YOUR HANDS? Not just because of Gunwalker, but because of EVERY un-Constitutional Act you approved, let stand, or enforced! Not just judges, but bureaucrats, police and elected politicians (local, state, federal).
The MSM is slowly waking up, slowly asking questions, but not MOST of them. Most of them are working to protect the murdering vermin of The Swamp- their jobs depend on it, but the local stations do not. This does not mean that they are not as corrupt or corruptible as the MSM but you do not have a better forum than your local press to get the story out and then onto the Internet. Pressure builds and builds. It has been just over six-months since the story broke on the Web thanks to Mike Vanderboegh and David Codrea with the help of those men at CleanUPATF.org and there are Congressional Hearings and Senate Investigations!
Not those authorized- CITIZEN JOURNALISTS DID THIS!
Get out and do your part (call, write, hound, tell everyone you know), many already have and many continue to do so. Work to see these Murderous Scum receive justice, but not just on Gunwalker- if you do not, IMO, you are tacitly guilty for standing by and doing nothing (whether Burke said it or not- it still stands as a truth).
Perry, Dewhurst, Strauss- you three could stop this NOW- not just for Texans but EVERY citizen of the Republic, but you cowards do everything you can to stop legislation to put the feds in their place. You have had Simpon's original bill pulled. You tell the public there is NO support. You have the legislation gutted- YOU THREE ARE LIARS!
Y'all want to move up another rung- truly only worried about your carriers, lying to the citizens you swore to protect and I say NOPE, not if the Grassroots can do anything about it.
Can you say 2nd, 3rd, 4th special sessions you Cowardly Troika?
H/T to a Little Bird along the Rio who had relatives just coming over and had made it through Customs as this was happening. LB said they were under no threat at time and every 3-Letter on bridge gearing up.
Defenders of Islam call it a "religion of peace" but many Norwegian women are learning that Islam is the religion of rape. According to an amazing police report released there this month, every single solved case of assault-rape in the country in 2010 was carried out by a Muslim immigrant.
The report was cited by an official Norwegian television station, which interviewed a victim who said that her rapist explained to her that his religion permits him to rape her.
According to the police report there was a total of 186 of known rape cases in 2010. These fall into various categories, the largest one of which is assault-rape, carried out by sheer physical force, of which there were 86 cases. In 83 of these cases the perpetrator could be identified by the victim. In all 83, the attacker was described as having "non-western appearance," a laundered euphemism for Muslim immigrants from Africa, the Middle East, or Asia.
In other categories of rape there were Norwegian attackers as well, but they were still in the minority (Note: the translation of the Norwegian TV report embedded here does not make a distiction between "assault rape" and other forms of rape, and appears to confuse the statistics for 2010 with those for 2006-2010).
Hmm, every one solved- nearly 50%. Yes, MIGRATION is the answer- right, sure it is. Not one real concept of Western History, Culture, or Society and how many swallow hook, line and sinker the line that it is a good thing.
IDIOTS! You destroy yourselves! You are committing SUICIDE!
But then again, you IDIOTS have heard this before, saw these statistics before and hid them.
Many might decide that this is: "Just so many words below!" That reading may hurt your eyes, you brain, or you do not have the time and if so- your World, not mine.
The following interview covers two important things- the purse and the sword and what as well as how the Fascists of The Swamp have and are doing.
Of those reading this, most know this, most are concerned, most will do nothing and some are actually working towards the goals defined in the interview. But then, there are those that have known this for a long time, are more than concerned, and are doing things about this so for those that will do nothing, step up now because those working towards these goals are afraid of you. Why else do you think such laws are passed to allow these murders to happen? The interview is not that long and the complete interview can be read at the link. All text in BOLD & ITALICS were done by me.
The U.S. Monetary System And Descent Into Fascism An Interview With Dr. Edwin Vieira
The following interview with Dr. Vieira was conducted in early June of 2011 for the subscribers of The Casey Report – but after careful consideration, we decided that the content is so important; it needs to be shared with a wider audience. Feel free to pass it along.
David Galland
Managing Editor
The Casey Report
For more than thirty years, Edwin Vieira, Jr., has practiced law, with emphasis on constitutional issues. In the Supreme Court of the United States, he successfully argued or briefed the cases leading to the landmark decisions Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, Chicago Teachers Union v. Hudson, and Communications Workers of America v. Beck, which established constitutional and statutory limitations on the uses to which labor unions, in both the private and the public sectors, may apply fees extracted from nonunion workers as a condition of their employment.
He has written numerous monographs and articles in scholarly journals, and lectured throughout the county. His most recent work on money and banking is the two-volume Pieces of Eight: The Monetary Powers and Disabilities of the United States Constitution (2002), the most comprehensive study in existence of American monetary law and history viewed from a constitutional perspective.
He is also the co-author (under a nom de plume) of the political novel CRA$HMAKER: A Federal Affaire (2000), a not-so-fictional story of an engineered crash of the Federal Reserve System, and the political upheaval it causes.
His latest book is: How to Dethrone the Imperial Judiciary... and Constitutional "Homeland Security," Volume One, The Nation in Arms.
We first met Dr. Vieira at our Casey Research Boca Raton Summit and were sufficiently impressed to want to hear more, and to share more, of his work with readers of The Casey Report.
We first met Dr. Vieira at our Casey Research Boca Raton Summit and were sufficiently impressed to want to hear more, and to share more, of his work with readers of The Casey Report.
DAVID: Before kicking things off, I'd refer readers to Dr. Vieira's in-depth and excellent paper, "A Cross of Gold," as that provides a more detailed analysis on how the corrupt U.S. monetary system might transition into something more honest and effective.
Getting started, from a big-picture perspective, technically speaking, is the current U.S. monetary system actually constitutional?
EDWIN: Well, technically speaking, factually speaking, legally speaking, no. In a word, no.
DAVID: Why not?
EDWIN: There are two levels to consider. First, there's the straight currency level – what is supposed to be the official monetary unit. Then there is "other," which I distinguish as different from the official monetary unit because the Constitution doesn't prohibit private parties from creating media of exchange for their own uses, as long as those media of exchange are non-fraudulent and they're operated in an otherwise honest commercial fashion.
But the official unit of currency is supposed to be the dollar, and I'll tell you exactly what a dollar is – it's 371.25 grains of silver in the form of a coin. That was determined as a historical fact in 1792. Actually the dollar was adopted before the Constitution was even written. It was adopted by the Continental Congress under the Articles of Confederation, the so-called Spanish milled dollar, which was the actual unit that was circulating then, because there had been essentially no coinage under the various colonial regimes in colonial America. So that's the dollar unit.
AND
EDWIN: And yet they allow for it. Now, either this is the biggest bunch of idiots that has ever been assembled in judicial robes in the history of humanity, or there's some other agenda going on here.
DAVID: Assuming that they are not complete idiots, what could that other agenda be?
EDWIN: In my view, and I've written about this for years, the people at the top levels of government understand that their monetary system is inherently flawed. That we're on the Titanic, in a sense, and they know that this ship is going to sink. They don't know when, but they know when it sinks, they're going to have a huge amount of economic dislocation, social crisis and civil unrest to the level of revolt.
So they started developing this police state mechanism in the hopes of keeping the lid on the garbage can when the monetary system breaks down. The upper echelons of the judiciary have been going right along with this because they know what the program is. This is obvious. No one in his right mind would stand by and allow the sort of excesses we’ve seen.
Just the other day, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled that the Fourth Amendment doesn't apply at all because you can sue the police after they've mistakenly broken into your home. But when they break into your home and they kill you, then what?
DAVID: Not a lot of recourse then.
EDWIN: Right, like that poor ex-marine that was shot 60 times in Arizona, and he's dead – now what, can he bring a lawsuit? Have we lost our minds? I mean, you don't have to be a Harvard-educated lawyer to know that this is insanity. This does not rise to the level of just mere error. No one in his right mind can write these kinds of opinions, which means that either they're insane, which I don't believe, or they have another agenda, and the judicial opinions are simply camouflage – they're propaganda to convince us that "Oh well, this is all right" because Judge Flapdoddle told us that it's all right.
Judge Flapdoddle- everyone knows these liars because we all have them. Lying filthy scum hiding behind what most consider an exalted black robe. They are just men who, like the rest believe themselves "Only Ones", who allow citizens to be "Whacked & Stacked" which is a mockery and brought us to "Injustice Everywhere". For those that doubt this, I remind you of "Project Gunwalker" wherein the plan to "walk" guns into Mexico was actually a cover to further eviscerate the 2nd Amendment and now, those that planned, approved, and watched have the blood of not just Mexicans, but Americans- Border Patrol Brian Terry and Ice Special Agent Jaime Zapata.
You cannot wash their blood away and what consistently comes to mind is: How many American Citizens names do we NOT know and just HOW MUCH blood is on YOUR HANDS? Not just because of Gunwalker, but because of EVERY un-Constitutional Act you approved, let stand, or enforced! Not just judges, but bureaucrats, police and elected politicians (local, state, federal).
You use the purse to destroy, just like your Economic Wacos that you love, but ATF is not the only that uses them and if you cannot steal them when people are alive- you go in and kill them.
Ugliness is coming- everyone sees this and you know that it will be worse than the last time the Republic turned it's anger inwards.
The Federal Trade Commission recently appointed a British government agent to a senior management position, raising serious concerns about the FTC's commitment to US sovereignty and the increasing role of unelected foreign antitrust regulators in restricting the property rights and economic liberties of American citizens.
On June 22, the FTC named Dr. Alison Oldale as deputy director for antitrust in the agency's Bureau of Economics. Dr. Oldale, who is not a US citizen, is currently the chief economist for the United Kingdom's Competition Commission (UKCC). According to a UKCC press release, Dr. Oldale will be "on a year's secondment" – in effect, on loan to the FTC – and she is expected to return to UKCC after completing her service in the US. The FTC's press release on Dr. Oldale's appointment did not disclose this.
Dr. Oldale joined the UKCC in 2009 after working as a director at LECG Corporation, an international consulting firm that provided expert testimony in antitrust litigation. LECG employees were frequent participants in FTC policy workshops, and David Scheffman, a former LECG director, served twice as director of the FTC's Bureau of Economics. LECG ceased operations earlier this year.
President Barack Obama has launched his $1 billion dollar re-election campaign for the White House, so he can finance creative methods to attack GOP presidential contenders. Accordingly, he’s spreading rumors that Texas Gov. Rick Perry is a so-called puppet of a leftist globalist community that is intent on one world government with the United Nations taking the reins of power. Obama is hoping these rumors can keep Tea Party members from supporting Perry if he receives the Republican nomination.
Here’s an example of an Obama-instigated conspiracy theory about Gov. Perry on the InfoWars.com website, “every indication suggests that Bilderberg-approved Texas Governor Rick Perry is set to become the frontrunner in the Republican race to challenge Barack Obama for the presidency, illustrating once again how a shady, secretive and undemocratic global elite holds the reigns of true power while Americans are distracted by the delusional notion that they have a genuine choice in 2012."
Are EVERY, or even one of the above the Democrats and Muslim Kenyan's minions? How about your GUEST VIEWPOINT Columnist Paul D. Perry (a registered Republican who ran for Chair of the Republican Party of Texas in 2008), whose articles you consistently publish and which the latest calls into question the actions over HB1937? How about this article by Mr. Perry from 2007?
The governor’s mandate of the HPV vaccine is indicative of a man who has lost touch with the citizens of our state.
As reported in DallasBlog.com, Merck’s Gardasil (HPV) vaccine already has been under fire nationally from the National Vaccine Information Center, which claims that “Merck’s clinical trials did not prove the human papillomavirus vaccine designed to prevent cervical cancer and genital warts is safe to give to young girls.” NVIC cites the trial studies as showing there were serious problems with adverse reaction to the shots: “Nearly 90 percent of Gardasil recipients ... followed-up for safety reported one or more adverse events within 15 days of vaccination, particularly at the injection site. Pain and swelling at injection occurred in approximately 83 percent of Gardasil” recipients. A majority of the young women who received Gardasil complained about “serious adverse events such as headache, gastroenteritis, appendicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, asthma, bronchospasm and arthritis,” according to NVIC.
This vaccine is very questionable and has not been in use long enough for there to be a comfort factor with many parents. What will it do to growing bodies long term? I am not opposed to vaccines in general, but the governor can count me as a one dissatisfied constituent on this one.
At best this move is irresponsible, at worst, it reeks of the odor of quid pro quo like some of the governor’s other moves. Why was the legislature circumvented by the executive in this case? The legislature had just now convened and had not had time to even visit the vaccine issue in full. A rational person should ask the question, just what was promised to the governor here?
Will big pharma dollars now back the governor’s future aspirations? A vice presidential nomination seems to be being talked about in Austin. The taxpayer- and property owner-hostile, foreign profiteer-backed Trans-Texas Corridor also comes to mind; Cintra-Zachary would no doubt love to keep the governor on the friends list. Why is it necessary to legislate away normal state and federal constitutional protections to build a road, Guv? It appears large interests can have all the friends they can afford, especially in Texas.
While the governor’s picked committee on appraisal reform came forward with a few decent suggestions concerning spending limitation, the overall report was at best anemic. They did not address the imbalances in the appeal process, for instance. In meetings all over the state I hear taxpayers suggest moving lesser dollar appeals to the JP courts. The governor’s committee proposal suggesting the appointment of Central Appraisal District representatives by the district judges and calling them “taxpayer representatives” would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. All over the state, Texans called for at least some members of both Appraisal and Appeals Boards to be popularly elected. I know that some members of the committee were people of good will, but a reasonable person could wonder how stacked the committee was with the governor’s own cronies.
The arrogance over the vaccine issue seals it. The governor must be impeached.
I wish we didn’t share a last name.
Paul D. Perry is a resident of Ellis County and former Ellis County Justice of the Peace for Pct. 4.
Yes, anyone who points out the truth about Rick Perry must be on the Muslim Kenyan's payroll, doing everything they can to get a piece of that $1 Billion- even going back in time to write these articles!
The Muslim Kenyan did not instigate a damn thing- Perry's actions have.
Fess up and admit Mr. McGregor, this piece was strictly penned to undermine the truth. Has all this time you've been sitting in China dulled your sense of propriety and truth? Or are family ties dictating this?
The five Russian scientists were among 44 killed earlier this week; no official investigation of foul play has been opened, though Iranian nuclear experts have in the past been involved in similar accidents.
By Amir Oren
The five nuclear experts killed in a plane crash in northern Russia earlier this week had assisted in the design of an Iranian atomic facility, security sources in Russia said on Thursday.
The five Russian experts were among the 44 passengers killed when the Tupolev-134 plane broke up and caught fire on landing outside the northern city of Petrozavodsk on Monday.

MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica (AP) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is questioning the priorities of lawmakers criticizing the U.S. intervention in Libya.
ATF announced a goal to deploy eTrace software to all thirty-one states within the Republic of Mexico. As part of eTrace expansion, ATF continues to provide training to Mexican and Central American countries to ensure that the technology is utilized to a greater extent.[3] Colombia and Mexico were provided with their own in-country tracing centers with full access to ATF firearm registration records. In Colombia, a joint ATF-CNP Center for Anti-Explosives Information and Firearms Tracing (CIARA) opened on December 6, 2006.[4] In Mexico, The National Center for Information, Analysis and Planning in order to Fight Crime (CENAPI) was established in 2003. ATF states these are models for planned future tracing centers throughout Central and South America and the Caribbean Basin.[5] In December, 2009, ATF announced deployment of a Spanish version of eTrace to Mexico, Guatemala and Costa Rica. A planned second phase will release the software to all Spanish-speaking countries with agreements with ATF. In June 2011 congress opened an investigation into project gunrunner against the ATF, as some ATF agents have come forward stating that top heads in ATFE and the Department of Justice instructed the agents to encourage gun stores in the U.S. to sell assault-style weapons to Mexican firearm traffickers.

Notice it is out of Alexandria, Virginia and the referring URL is this and that it had been E-mailed to the viewer via belong2.com. Notice when you hit that link it shows that the mail server is also used by the BlackRock Group. You can find more information about them here.
So, it seems, pants are brown streaked and specialized PR Software is now in play.

He commented further and made me realize that some may think that the TinyURL links might possibly be nefarious. The links I provided in my post are not.
Further, I posted the following at WoG's to clarify what those TinyURL's are:
jon,
The TinyURL's were created by me due to the fact that Blogger would not take the long ixquick proxy URL's. I used ixquick to find out who and what vocuspr is and that is the PRSoftware firm. Further, I used ixquick to find out what belong2 DOT com is too. From that search, I found a robotex page showing that the Black Rock Group is on the same E-mail server as belong2.
Each TinyURL is listed below:
1. ixquick proxy Vocuspr
2. Robotex direct
3. ixquick proxy Black Rock
4. ixquick secure Wiki Entry on Black Rock
Whoever it was that came from Vocuspr received an E-mail suggesting my blog entry from yesterday. Vocuspr is a software that is for automated PR and had never heard of them until I noticed that unusual entry in the visitor logs.
I am going to add this to an addendum so there is no confusion.
The reason for the TinyURL's and the ixquick proxy is to deny them where YOU are coming from, not the other way around. For those that do not know what the ixquick search engine is or what TinyURL does, go here and there respectively.
This should clarify any confusion, if not, post a comment and I will reply.

Gee SwansonRussel, nearly three hours here! And you being a PR firm too!
No, I won't post the screen grab- not today anyway, but interesting Outdoor Client list that you have, but then again you also have other areas too, right?
I wonder whose E-mails it was that brought those Federal, then Military Network Boys (DoD, Navy Network Information Center, Army AIS, and NATO saclant (amongst others) to visit me today? How about Blackwaters?
Just who was it, I wonder? And so many of you using Google Reader to proxy!
Too many of these visits today, not coming from the regulars or David's kind referral- all from either NO REFERRAL or via Google Reader screams an E-mailed link. Heck, many show that you came from E-mail so I ask, is this how you deal with postings about government crime? Seek out the citizens OPINIONS? To stop by for a simple visit during official working hours? Dig into we citizens? Yes, of course it is but I have this to say, Fuck You! I will post my thoughts and make sure, like so often before, that others have my logs.
If this posting has drawn THIS MUCH government attention, then I must be have been correct when I said: "...pants are brown streaked and specialized PR Software is now in play."
The only thing is, you did not think we would ever figure this crap out, did you?
The new rules were quietly announced Friday with a new memo from top officials at the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. The "prosecutorial discretion" memo says officials need not enforce immigration laws if illegal immigrants are enrolled in an education center or if their relatives have volunteered for the US military.
Of course "La Raza" likes this- it works towards the goal of Reconquista and much more DETAILED information on this subject can be found here and here.
Understand, this desire is not viewed by all Americans of Mexican descent (no, there is no such race named Hispanics or hyphenated Americans [hyphenation is just a way to divide us]) or even by all Mexicans but like always, it just takes a small percentage (Threepers anyone?) to accomplish such goals and the States along the Southern border of the Republic has seen this happen for the past forty-years which has expanded to nearly all States across the Republic. Most of you have no idea but are slowly becoming aware of the pervasiveness of this. Spend some time reading the links included and the links at those sites. A number of the links may be dead, and if so, use your favorite search engine for further research.
"Cowering frauds" is a term that is best reserved for Republicans, who preach fiscal responsibility while repeatedly raising the debt ceiling, who talk about the importance of respecting the law while permitting Wall Street to openly violate it at will, and who claim to advocate personal freedom while staunchly supporting a futile Prohibition that saw three times more Americans arrested for drugs last year than were arrested in 1980. And speaking of "cowering frauds," where was Miss Coulter when the McCain-Palin ticket suspended its Republican presidential campaign to help the Bush administration collude with the Democratic Senate to ram TARP down the throats of a protesting American public?
Bane, the missing, loved Ann- he called her a goddess. I saw through her after her sham consideration and then spat with the Libertarians when she wanted to run under that banner a few years back (right Ann, you were a real sham). Some, like the missing Bane will think her just confused, and as I told him years ago, I prefer Ilana.
I found the following article at Pajamas Media via SSI, and it is well worth the read. Moreover, apparently Rush Limbaugh, admitted Waterboy for the Republicans, also mentioned this on air today, but the point being, is that it has been asked:
Buckle up: An agent testifies that surveillance stopped at the border, meaning the operation didn't actually trace guns to cartels to make arrests. The only conclusion? Law enforcement wasn't the point, orchestrated violence was, and that's a history-making scandal.
June 20, 2011 - 7:58 am - by Bob Owens
The most damning revelations coming out of the hearings on Operation Fast and Furious held by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform are the unmistakable indications that the program was never designed to succeed as a law enforcement operation at all.
A quartet of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) agents and supervisors turned into whistleblowers to bring the operation down, but only after U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was gunned down in the Arizona desert. Two of the weapons recovered at the scene of Terry's murder were traced to the operation.
Fast and Furious, also known by the more accurate "Gunwalker," allowed known straw purchasers to buy large quantities of firearms — often a dozen or more semi-automatic rifles — at a time with the full knowledge of ATF agents and executives. The guns were then smuggled into Mexico, as frustrated front-line ATF agents watched, under strict orders to do nothing.
ATF agents testifying in front of the House Oversight Committee could not explain how the operation was supposed to succeed when their surveillance efforts stopped at the border and interdiction was never an option.
ATF Agent John Dodson, testifying in front of the committee, said that in his entire law enforcement career, he had "never been involved in or even heard of an operation in which law enforcement officers let guns walk." He continued: "I cannot begin to think of how the risk of letting guns fall into the hands of known criminals could possibly advance any legitimate law enforcement interest."
The obvious answer is that Gunwalker's objective was never intended to be a "legitimate law enforcement interest." Instead, it appears that ATF Acting Director Ken Melson and Department of Justice senior executives specifically created an operation that was designed from the outset to arm Mexican narco-terrorists and increase violence substantially along both sides of the Southwest border.
This past weekend, both David Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh pointed out that their sources were supported by the WSJ report that Melson is likely gone and today, CNN reported the same on the Web and on the air:
Washington (CNN) -- Kenneth Melson, acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, is expected to resign under pressure, perhaps in the next day or two, in the wake of the controversy over Operation Fast and Furious, two senior federal law enforcement sources said Monday.
Now, people may get all excited, but they should not beyond the fact that one criminal MAY be down and further proof and testimony is needed to finish this work that so that the States, or Congress can charge, impeach and then the Senate tries Barack Hussein Ombama for high Crimes.
I point this out, because I think you will Marcy-Parked, unless you get yourself protection, that is an immunity deal. You know the extent of these crimes- fully and you are being thrown under the bus.
Be a man Melson- stand up and start talking, before it is too late.
MISSION — Drug smugglers opened fire on U.S. law enforcement officers Sunday morning near the Anzalduas International Bridge after Mission police intercepted a 500-pound load of marijuana, police Chief Leo Longoria said.
U.S. law enforcement officers shot back, Longoria said, and no injuries were reported. Details remained hazy Sunday afternoon, and Longoria couldn’t give further information about the brief shootout.
AND
Six police units, several more from the Department of Public Safety and a Border Patrol helicopter were called to assist. As the pickup fled, a green Chevrolet Avalanche with a young woman behind the wheel began harassing officers, Longoria said.
"She went head-on toward a police vehicle," Longoria said. "We're trying to see what her intent was, but obviously it was a very reckless action on her part."
Nope, no spillover here, nothing to see, move along, go catch some fish...

U.S. Border Patrol arrested Leo Palacios III after he pulled up to the Highway 281 checkpoint south of Falfurrias about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to a criminal complaint. After a secondary inspection, they found the pot stashed in his Mercedes E320 sedan’s trunk.
Palacios, who lives in Austin and is son of the Pharr mayor of the same name, claimed he was in the Rio Grande Valley on business.
“I did not know anything about this,” the mayor said. “All I know was that he was arrested for possession. He hasn’t called me or anything.
Agents say they were about to release Palacios from the checkpoint when he started moving his car forward slowly.
Agents tapped the side of his car and waved their hands while telling him to stop, the complaint states. Other agents yelled at him to stop and he finally complied.
A drug dog alerted to the trunk of Palacios’ car and agents asked him to move it to secondary inspection. Palacios asked the agents why he needed the inspection, saying he didn’t see the dog do anything. Another agent commanded him to move the car to secondary and Palacios complied.
Oh, and read the comments as some are just too funny- for example:
"ooooollooooo
10:28 PM on June 17, 2011
This comes as a total surprise to us also Polo. Oh wait, look up there, a flying cow."
I received the Sentinel link on this Friday, spent some time last night reading further and was intending to write today about it but William Griggs has an excellent post on it and how the State of New Hampshire broke this man.
Everyone should read Mr. Ball's statement- not merely Fathers, everyone as his facts and figures should open your eyes. The state is a monster- at every level and for those that think this hyperbole, I remind you of the Ballad Of Carl Dregga who chose another route. From Vin's December 1997 editorial take note of the sections that I have placed in BOLD:
"I sort the incoming letters-to-the-editor for a major metropolitan newspaper. The receipt of such sheafs of heartfelt, illiterate pleadings from folks at their wits' end (child custody leads the list, though property rights also feature prominently), pleading for help from SOMEONE, has become an almost daily occurrence."
For way too long, Americans have taken this abuse and now that more are waking up to the realities of the monstrosities that have been allowed to grow- so does the anger of the citizenry. However, the grip is becoming tighter and what I see coming, as do many of you, is something that is going to be ugly. If you think that Tom Ball's statement is nothing more than the ramblings of a crazy man, that is up to you. I do not and suspect we will see more acts.
Unhappy about some far off things
That are not my affair, wandering
Along the coast and up the lean ridges,
I saw in the evening
The stars go over the lonely ocean,
And a black-maned wild boar
Plowing with his snout on Mal Paso Mountain.
The old monster snuffled, "Here are sweet roots, Fat grubs, slick beetles and sprouted acorns.
The best nation in Europe has fallen,
And that is Finland,
But the stars go over the lonely ocean,"
The old black-bristled boar,
Tearing the sod on Mal Paso Mountain.
"The world's in a bad way, my man,
And bound to be worse before it mends;
Better lie up in the mountain here
Four or five centuries,
While the stars go over the lonely ocean,"
Said the old father of wild pigs,
Plowing the fallow on Mal Paso Mountain.
"Keep clear of the dupes that talk democracy And the dogs that talk revolution, Drunk with talk, liars and believers.
I believe in my tusks.
Long live freedom and damn the ideologies,"
Said the gamey black-maned boar
Tusking the turf on Mal Paso Mountain.
Now, originally it was reported the Mexicans had fired 100's of rounds North, and my original source told me this too, but was actually the reverse, so I just have to say good, I would think you should be able to hit something after dumping 300+ rounds south.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer (R-AZ) released a statement yesterday after listening to the Operation Fast and Furious hearings. She is not a happy camper - nor should she be given the impact of Project Gunwalker on her state.
It is a good thing that Governor Brewer is angry over this, but like the first comment at SSI, my thoughts at first when I read this is when is she going to get angry at the police forces in her state and their atrocities?
No matter what, always remember- they are politicians.
Nope. This is not an Onion headline. Go ahead. Try it out. http://www.cia.gov
Internet kill switch on in T minus 5...4...3... as full blown retaliation against all (cyber)enemies foreign and domestic hits new highs. And since no crisis can go to waste, next up is the the appointment of the propaganda Internet Tzar.
It's a beautiful day in the Paranoid neighborhood, a beautiful day in the Paranoid neighborhood- won't you be my, won't you be my government Paranoid?
Can you say False Flag? I thought you could.
Oh and for those that will believe that there is a need for an Internet Czar, just remember this, Illuminati, spelled backwards and adding .com (itanimulli.com) takes you to No Such Agency.
For those who have been paying attention, the Gunwalker conspirators' cover-up has been reduced to a tattered piece of underwear that wouldn't cover Weiner's little wiener.
First, the testimony of the ATF agents at the hearing today demonstrated that there was no "sting", thus there could not have been a "botched sting." What there was, it seems, was a program to encourage straw purchases and smuggling, but no "sting" by any known meaning of that word. Which begs the question, why? Issa, nettled by Cummings' complaints of a "political agenda" responded by asking if the entire purpose of allowing large numbers of weapons into Mexico didn't itself serve a political purpose? Meaning, of course, further restrictions on American firearm rights. Precisely.
Mike Vanderboegh and David Codrea truly deserve heaping praises for their tenacious grip since last December. It was they and the boys at CleanUp ATF that got the ball rolling and are closer and privy to much more information than I and why I want everyone to go read their posts, especially today's from MVB in regards to the Project Gunwalker hearings.
I watched over lunch to see so much fecklessness by certain representatives, Suckass and Lacy to name two, is angering and if you watch, you will understand my earlier post. Moreover, anymore I have nearly ZERO capacity for toleration of such- not just from politicians but those like Weasel Weich as well. However, I want to point out two things from this afternoons hearings- one was Blake Farenthold's suggestion about PRIVATE viewing of documents and then Issa's offer at the end of today's hearings about REDACTION. Remember everyone, they are POLITICIANS.
As a follow up to Monday’s hearing on a government program intended to track Mexican drug cartels, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee continues its inquiry today.
The Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) program “Operation Fast and Furious" allowed gun stores near the Mexican border to sell semiautomatic weapons in bulk to "straw purchasers" as a way to track Mexican drug cartels. Many of the guns were linked to crimes, including the killing of a Border Patrol agent.
Chair of the Committee, Darrell Issa (R-CA), and Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) released a report on “Operation Fast and Furious," which says border patrol and ATF agents were told to "surveil" weapons and not interdict. It also said agents warned of devastating consequences, including criminal activity, but supervisors ignored their warnings.
Issa just told Ronald Weich: "So felony stupid it got people killed!"
This was after listening to the Weasel Reich's opening statement about being so helpful and Representative Issa held up at least a half dozen pages that are fully redacted.
Then that Suckass Cummings (yes SUCKASS) apologizes for the whole committee and Issa verbally slapped him.
I do not know if I can continue to watch this crap much longer as I am too pissed.

ADDENDUM
Representative Hankle asks about the February 2 statement of Justice that guns were not walked and the Weasel Weich stated "Our February statement is technically truthful." Technically?
ADDENDUM II
Representative Lacy Clay doing his damnedest to make sure the DoJ looks so helpful and honest. Lay down some more Lacy so we can see you do not give a shit about the citizens of either the Republic or Mexico. I do have one question for you Lacy, did you squirt the lube earlier before coming on camera?
ADDENDUM III
Representative Jason Chaffetz - "How can the President know about it and the Attorney General NOT know about it!?!"
EXCELLENT!
ADDENDUM IV
The Weasel Weich: "I cannot define walking."
ADDENDUM V
The Weasel Weich: "I've been generally aware for months." in relation to Representative Buerkle's asking about the three morning witnesses who said that they have never seen an investigation like this.
ADDENDUM VI
Suckass Cummings is tired, tired of not being efficient about these hearings. Hmm, doing his job tires him- just tires him. Then resign Suckass! If getting the truth about these illegal activities and DEMANDING the truth then quit being so soft and PROVE you want to HONOR YOUR PUBLIC COMMITMENTS AND YOUR OATH OF OFFICE!
ADDENDUM VII
Issa just gave DOJ and ATF an out via redaction.
Are these hearings now a sham Representative Issa?
EAST OF EDINBURG — The Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office is investigating a roadway shooting death involving several men with long-barreled firearms — possibly assault rifles — and a torched vehicle.
The shooting occurred about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, and authorities were called to the intersection of Farm-to-Market Road 2812 and Uresti Street in connection with a firefight involving at least three separate vehicles, Sheriff Lupe Treviño said.
"When we arrived, we find one white pickup parked on side of road with one person having been shot multiple times," Treviño said. "A quarter-mile or less east of that location, we find a vehicle on fire."
"Additionally, on his own transport, a man arrived to a McAllen hospital with a gunshot wound."
While the investigation is on its preliminary stages, apparently one vehicle overtook the white pickup and opened fire, causing the truck to go off the road.
The vehicle that was burned is being considered a suspect vehicle because authorities believe that three suspects set it on fire right before they left.
Witnesses said the three men ran north, toward brush. Sheriff's Office K-9 units were being used to track the men down.
How many of you are tired of this bullshit? You are probably someone who thinks it is time to militarize the border and let the local populace live with such, but you are forgetting, or ignoring one important thing, which is the War On Some Drugs is a complete un-Constitutional farce! Prohibition does not work and did not even work when it was at least passed Constitutionally. However, most of you do not care and are OK with this instead of realizing that the War On Some Drugs has done more to lay the groundwork for the utter destruction of our Constitutional Republic (the Patriot Acts were the finish).
The War On Some Drugs is what laid the groundwork for Project Gunwalker and how many of you even understand this?
Spillover? Nah, no such thing happening here so nothing to see- move along. Just a bunch of filthy drug dealers killing each other...
Reptile Roils Oil Patch
Companies Oppose Endangered-Species Tag for Lizard, but Brace for Its Listing
By ANA CAMPOY
The dunes sagebrush lizard, while just five inches long, is causing a big ruckus in the oil patch.
The federal government is considering whether to put it on the endangered species list, with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service arguing that oil and gas development in the Permian Basin, a rich oil-producing area in West Texas and Southeast New Mexico, is destroying parts of the lizard's home, a unique sand dune ecosystem.
The oil industry says the listing of the Sceloporus arenicolus would bring economic ruin.
"This is the most prolific oil-producing region in onshore America," said Ben Shepperd, president of the Permian Basin Petroleum Association, an industry group in Midland, Texas. "If you are to knock out a big portion of that, it clearly would drive prices up at the gasoline pump."
So I think the Muslim Kenyan is saying "Kill onshore oil production- thus kill America."
And Rick "Benedict" Perry killed HB 1937 because he lacked the balls to stand up, or does he want to see it destroyed as well?
As a friend says: "I for one look forward to the coming pandemonium- debts will be paid."
Societal collapse and, as the faux-genteel put it, civil unrest scenarios are sure to include martial law. When the Department of Education places an order for police-style shotguns, when they mount—and botch—armed home invasions for what used to be routine process serving, when even the Railroad Retirement Board and the Small Business Administration are carrying, the citizen can be excused for thinking the entirety of government is thisclose to going Soviet. But don't look for a declaration of martial law, in the US the term for martial law is state of emergency. A state of emergency was declared during Katrina for instance, by the city of New Orleans and by Louisiana with federal assistance from FEMA. It was, in addition to being de facto martial law, a series of pathetic pratfalls which added to the suffering and death.
Been reading him for a while now, when I can, and today's is well worth sending folks over to.
At least three suspected drug runners were wounded in a shootout with U.S. law enforcement officials this morning in the Rio Grande just south of Abram, according to sources.
The Texas Department of Public Safety said, U.S. law enforcement officers participating in a multi-agency Texas Ranger Recon operation were fired upon from Mexico while attempting to interdict a large drug load, officials said in a news release from the state agency. An exact location was not given.
DPS spokeswoman Tela Mange said she couldn’t disclose whether any U.S. officers from the three participating agencies —Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, U.S. Border Patrol and Texas Rangers — were struck or injured. She said the agents came under "heavy fire" but would not say how long the ensuing shootout lasted.Waiting to hear more from some friends down there and will see what I can post on this later, but have been told that the Mexicans fired 100's of rounds.

Just received this update - Mexicans tried to get drugs back south, Texas Rangers (DPS) attempted stop of Drug Dealers/Mules. Mexicans fired upon them- both DD's and from across the river. TR's return fire and TP&WL assisted. Border Patrol arrived in River Boats and aided by dumping a whole lot of rounds south. None of our men hurt.
Found a curious entry in the stats this afternoon and considering the origin location, (Switzerland), the time frame (Bilderberg's are meeting in St. Moritz), and the fact that each link in my post about the UN Agreement was accessed- and am wondering.
I am sure those slimy bastards tasked someone to look and at the time, my entry was sixth and has now slipped to eleventh so let's see if this raises my blog back to the top ten so people can see what an ugly bastard Jayantha Dhanapala is so forward this link far and wide.
Now for those that want to get a better look at the Bilderberg slime, then go here.
I'm on an email list where I just received a warning about the implications of Missouri v Holland, which stated:
"No doubt the great body of private relations usually fall within the control of the State, but a treaty may override its power."
Yeah, that's what the plan is.
Go and read and do your part. I know my long term readers do and have started to actually see consistent E-mail linkage so I figure y'all are E-mailing the other Bloggers who are more deserving. Do not let up, do not surrender, do not bend your knee!
This is the thread that got the flag rolling. My friend was very pissed at Mr. Jayantha Dhanapala's comments, and here is the thread on the gift flag.
Oh, and we never received a "Thank You" note from them...

So you go right ahead, UN and Swamp Monsters, do it; but understand this, come for them yourselves you cowards- as this time, we ain't going to be so nice.
I have been counseled to back down, to take it easy, to remember that there is more to this than a flash in the pan, a moment of explosion. I should wait, I know, but for what? The war started in Arizona a few weeks ago.
A very good post, but he is wrong. It started August 21, 1992 when a 14-year old boy was shot in the back by US Federal Marshall Degan who was in turn shot and killed by Kevin Harris.
"Richard Rogers was in command of the contingent of the FBI Hostage
Rescue Team2 which were deployed as snipers around the cabin.
Rogers, while in flight to Ruby Ridge, rewrote the "Rules for
Engagement." Normally, federal law enforcement personnel may fire
only when facing death or grievous harm. This is generally taken
to mean they will return fire but not initiate it. Rogers new
orders were literally a death warrant for the adults, both male and
female.
The new rules read:
"If any adult in the compound is observed with a weapon after the
surrender announcement is made, deadly force can and should be
employed to neutralize the individual."
The new rules further stated "If any male is observed with a weapon
prior to the announcement, deadly force can and should be employed
if the shot can be taken without endangering the children."
The next day, FBI Sniper Lon Horiuchi shot Sammy's 42-year old mother through the head while she was holding his ten-month old brother.
Since the end of both, I estimate that roughly ninety-five percent of gun owners, Constitutionalists and professed Liberty Lovers I have spoke with (along with everyone else) about these events has denied the truth of this.
And this is why not a one of them has been hanged, fried, or has had a needle stuck in their arms- let alone had to pull tar and feathers from their skin.
No T.L. Davis, Jose Guerena was not the start, he is but the latest.
"...That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."
