Police raid Heckler & Koch in bribery probe

Police raid Heckler & Koch in bribery probe

Police have raided the headquarters of German gun maker Heckler & Koch as part of an investigation into illegal gun sales to the Mexican government.

State police officers conducted the Thursday raid at the company’s Oberndorf corporate headquarters in Baden-Württemberg, searching the building and several nearby private homes for information about bribes the company is alleged to have paid to Mexican officials.

Those bribes are said to have resulted in weapons contracts with authorities in Mexico.

The company, which produces many of the world’s most popular small arms for police and military use, has been dogged by investigations into its Mexican operations for years.

Last December police searched its headquarters after it was accused of bribery and selling arms to Mexican states where serious human rights abuses had taken place.

It later said it never sold weapons directly to Mexican states, but rather directly to Mexico’s federal government.
Hmm, I wonder, and this is just pure speculation on my part, if there are any papers relating to Gun Walker...

Sipsey Street Exclusive: "Meetings, Part 2"

Sipsey Street Exclusive: "Meetings, Part 2." NM Summit: "A unified effort, cutting across the entire DOJ, to address illegal firearms trafficking."

At approximately 5:40 PM on Monday, 29 June 2009, Deputy Attorney General of the United States David Ogden landed in "Duke City" -- Albuquerque, New Mexico -- via Southwest Flight #663. Albuquerque was named for the Spanish Viceroy Francisco Fernandez de la Cueva, the Duke of Alburquerque, but somewhere along the line the first "r" in the spelling was dropped. However that may be, it's named after a duke, thus it is known as "Duke City."

Codrea states: "Shocking Breaking Gunwalker News!"

He also said this:
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).

TC Hamm asks, WTF!?!

WTF!?!
Project Gunrunner

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.

Participants

Along with a number of Caribbean police forces, many countries are formally provided with eTrace software with access to American gun owner names, addresses and personal information, including: [6]

PROJECT GUNWALKER - PR FACTORIES ON THE JOB

Noticed another one of those unusual hits in the logs just a bit ago on this post.



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.

Pay heed to your logs- they reveal quite a bit of information.

David Codrea kindly linked to this post and jon commented the following:
the log doesn't necessarily suggest anything about an email. the host/ip fields mean that that is the client machine making the request to the webserver.

now it is extremely uncommon for a mail server to up and make an HTTP request while providing a "firefox" user-agent. suspicious, yes.

it is even more uncommon for a mail server to be running windows xp. doubly suspicious, yes.
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?

Project Gunwalker: "...Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdameanors."

Article. II., Section 4. - The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
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:
Mega-Scandal: Was 'Gunwalker' a PR Op for Gun Control?

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:
ATF acting director may resign over Fast and Furious program
From Terry Frieden, CNN
June 20, 2011 3:49 p.m. EDT

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.

Kenneth Melson, as MVB asked last week: Do you REALLY trust these people that much?

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.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer Is Not Pleased With ATF

Found via SSI:
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer Is Not Pleased With ATF

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.
