Issa's Hearings on Project Gunwalker

"Fast and Furious" a "Catastrophic Disaster"
Border agents criticize weapons program

Washington, DC
Wednesday, June 15, 2011

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?

Roadway firefight kills 1 east of Edinburg; gunmen sought

A friend down along the border made me aware of this:

Roadway firefight kills 1 east of Edinburg; gunmen sought

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

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."

Ol' Remus has a few words for you (#220)

Eight things to expect under martial law

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.

Mexicans fire 100's of rounds at BP, DPS, & TP&WL- at least 3 of them wounded

VIDEO: 3 suspected smugglers injured in shootout near Rio Grande

June 09, 2011 11:26 AM
Staff and wire reports

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.

ADDENDUM

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.

Bilderbergers Searching blogs on Jayantha Dhanapala?

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.

David Codrea states: Come and Take It.

Come and Take It

Ah, the good ol' UN...

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!

U.N. Agreement Should Have All Gun Owners Up In Arms

We told you foreign jackass thugs when we sent you the flag ten years ago! If you rat-bastards have forgotten, I will remind you of this post of October 4, 2004 that was posted in honor of Texas' Come and Take It Day relating the story of our stated intentions.

Three years ago, when the U.N. had the Conference on Small Arms (UN killed it- here is The Web Archive list), several of us here in Texas decided to send them a gift.



It was sent to this ugly bastard:



You can find more on this bs here (THESE ARE STILL OCCURRING).

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.

TL In Exile - Hardcore

Hardcore

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.

To remind you:

"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.

Less than eight months later, FBI Sniper Lon Horiuchi was it again at Waco.

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.

How much longer will Jefferson's proclamation be ignored?

"...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."

Not much longer I think.
