   Pay attention to the growing chorus of officials who are complaining about the banks, elected officials and US corporations obstructing justice. There is a reason why banks are “too big to fail’ and why we have so many sanctuary cities. It’s big business.

   You bet. Banks make huge profits on international money transfers. Mexico’s second largest contributor to its GNP is incoming money transfers from the USA.

    AP Rips Obama For Not Acting on ‘Gun Safety’ (i.e., ‘Gun Control’), While Nearly Ignoring DOJ/ATF Scandal

    Holder’s refusal to cooperate is true to the administration’s “Gangster Government” instincts (Michael Barone first coined the term in May 2009 in the wake of the Obama administration’s orchestrated short-circuiting of the legal rights of many of Chrysler’s secured creditors; the name grows more apt with virtually each passing day).

    A total non-shock is the fact that Fast and Furious aka “Gunwalker” aka “Gun Runner” was barely news in the national establishment press until about 10 days ago; a Google News search at 9:30 p.m. on ["Eric Holder" ATF] (typed exactly as indicated between brackets; sorted by date) returned 112 items from the past 30 days. 85 of them are older than June 12, and of the 27 older items, a half-dozen at most are from national mainstream sources. One of them, from the Hill on May 25, reports that “Attorney General Eric Holder has denied knowing of Gun Runner.” If so, why is he stonewalling?

    The Associated Press conveniently kept Eric Holder’s name out of the single story (“ATF agents:
    Border weapons operation a disaster” on June 15) it appears to have done on the scandal.

    Apparently, the wire service’s reporters have been too busy trying to cook up sympathy for gun control in other, less lethal ways to stick with a story which, if it had surfaced during the Bush administration, would likely have been called “the next Iran-Contra” and dominated the headlines for weeks.

    There was recently a pharmacy robbery in New York. The robber came in armed and wanted prescription drugs. In the process of robbing the store he murdered everyone in it, I believe it was 4 people.
    Thank goodness that NY has very restrictive ownership restrictions on handguns, and even more restrictions on carrying for personal protection. There’s no telling how many of those 4 victims could have hurt someone if they’d had a gun with them.
    If not for these restrictive gun laws, armed robbers in NY would have to select their targets more carefully.
    

    Remind me again, what type of weapons have the IRS armed themselves with?

Advancing the collective’s adgenda is more important than the individual Not that many actually have something bad happen to them, in terms of prosecution and prison sentences.

Yes there are MILLIONS who feel, believe, whatever that these Federal (state and local too) agencies are “for our own good”. Millions are wrong. They were taught such nonsense by schools, really bad movies and TV shows, power seeking Police Chiefs and such but they are still wrong.

    Project Gunrunner/ Fast and Furious are the logical result of giving ANYONE such power over a free people. Oh yes some innocents were killed but what is that to “Our Betters”? Governments kill more of there own in pursuit of power than all the bad guys in history.

Look for Sarah Brady to stand with Obama and Holder to make the announcement for tighter gun control based on the death of Brian Terry.

    In addition to the obvious crimes of this administration providing drug cartels with AK-47′s then witholding/dodging knowledge…was this a big plan to actually decrease legal gun ownership in the US by promoting people like Traver? A scandal (border patrol shot by US guns in the hands of drug cartels) to bring on the issue? You know, no one should own guns but the police, etc.

    I always think where there is smoke there is fire with this administration…especially the Chicago cronism.

    ATF found that out the hard way. D’Obama and Holder will eventually learn that lesson as well.

    They already knew it…what better way to push for gun control than to allow US guns to end up in a country known for corruption and drug cartels. It was only a matter of time till the guns would start poping up in violent crimes and viola you have your morale high ground as to why you need to push for tighter gun control…

    Indeed: From Arizona’s Terry Goddard “65% of all guns confiscated in Mexico come from the US” to Janet Napoleon Napolitano’s 80% to Blue Lips 90% they found themselves needing to prove the lie-so they lied again with Gun Walker.

    One major source of American Made weapons for Mexico’s crime families is in fact M16,M4 rifles and M249 light machine guns and M60 machine guns either stolen from the Army or taken by deserters looking for a better job with the cartels.

    Bambi, Bimbo and Goddard will lie about that too.

    Yes I should have some respect for our President and staff- I’ll work on it in a year or so.

    As I have stated before an AG does not do a Number 2 without the President’s approval. It is obvious that at a minimum Holder sanctioned this. Obama himself mentioned Gunrunner in March. Obama is soon going to be in a position where it is obvious that on of the following is true:

    1) He signed the order.
    2) He authorized the AG to sign the order.
    3) He provided no executive oversight over his AG who was out there conducting rogue operations.

    These are the same people who said they had to assault the Davidian compund in Waco, because of allegations that the children in the compund were being sexually abused.

    The only abuse they received was at the hands of the ATF during the seige until their abuse reached its climax:
    
    

    Twenty-seven children and sixteen mothers were found dead in the concrete cold-storage room in the center of the house. As a result of the tank attack on the building, the room had collapsed before the fires broke out. All 43 people were thereby trapped inside. Two of the children died from blunt trauma consistent with being struck by rubble from the collapsing building. Several others, mostly children, were reported by the medical examiner as having been buried alive. The mothers had wrapped their children and themselves in sleeping bags, apparently for protection from the flames.

    What were the final hours of the children like? Benjamin C. Garrett, the executive director of the Chemical and Biological Arms Control Institute, states that as a result of the incessant chemical warfare barrage, “It [the chemical warfare agent] would have panicked the children. Their eyes would have involuntarily shut. Their skin would have been burning. They would have been gasping for air and coughing wildly. Eventually, they would have been overcome with vomiting in a final hell.”

    This was another attempt at creating a problem to push an agenda. Holder is now between a rock and a hard place. If he knew about F&F and approve of it, ordered it or ignored it, he’s guilty of murder. If he didn’t know about it, he’s inept. If he admits to the former, he should be jailed; and the latter, he’s too stupid for the job and should get the boot.

    So how is bho going to run a campaign when all the secret manipulations are becoming visible? The scandals are building. We have another year to go and there is no telling what other surprises will surface to destroy the reelection of this president. The more panicked the left becomes, the more mistakes they will make. The ship has sprung leaks, so watch the rats.

    The Obama administration has wandered into a bear trap here, and while I don’t expect him to be taking policy advice from the pages of Hot Air, the sad part is that he has a clear path out of this mess if he can summon the will to act quickly and forcefully with integrity. First, he needs to take a page from Jed Bartlett’s playbook. Don’t accept Melson’s resignation. Fire him, and do it in a very public fashion. (While he’s at it, he could fire Holder as well, but I doubt we’ll see that.)

    Next, lend the full support of the White House to complete, public hearings into this mess, identify all of the individuals responsible, and give the family of Brian Terry front row seats. Let them be satisfied that justice has been done.

    And finally, abandon any thoughts of taking another shot at putting Traver in as the head of the ATF. Begin a new search and vetting process to locate a seasoned authority who is just as interested in protecting the rights of lawful gun owners as they are in keeping weapons out of the hands of the bad guys. It wouldn’t be nearly as much of a trick as some of the gun grabbing crowd might imagine, since I don’t know a single responsible gun owner who favors giving guns to convicted violent felons or gang members.

    Allow electronic filing of petitions and other documents to speed up processing.

    – Set pre-election hearings to begin 7 days after a petition is filed.

    – Defer litigation of eligibility issues involving less than 20 percent of the bargaining unit until after the election.

    – Eliminate pre-election appeals of rulings by an NLRB regional director.

    – Reduce from 7 to 2 days the time for an employer to provide an electronic list of eligible voters.

    As for Huntsman, he chose to have Lady Liberty in the background for his announcement. Which way was she facing? The direction tells all. He’s not the one either.

    Predictions:

    -Huntsman will be the nominee. It’s what the democrats and mainstream media wants.
    -Democratic operatives in Iowa and New Hampshire will give him a boost.
    -The open California primary will cement his status as eventual winner
    (California Democrats can vote for a Republican in the primary)
    -The Republicans will have McCain II (Huntsman) as the candidate in the November 2012 election.

    No, it’s just a bit mixed up:

    The designer of the heels is important: Gucci is a good one–don’t go with anything as crass as Versace, Dior or even Yves St Laurent (they are not as comfortable nor versatile). I own a pair of YSL’s and they are just for lounging & looking pretty.

    Also, you can carry the skillet (I own several Griswolds myself), but I prefer to carry my .38 in the Gucci (or Furla, Bottega Veneta, Chanel, Tod’s, Louis Vuitton or Lambertson Truex)bag.
