BREAKING ON DRUDGE: Hay stolen from CT petting zoo

Drudge makes hay headlines while the sun shines. (more...)

Leaves readers in the dark on blood soaked Fast & Furious, Castaway, Gunrunner conspiracy.

When Drudge blows Hay-Gate wide open I'm sure I'll eat my (straw) hat.

Operation Fast & Furious.....Children at play

"The government wants a dramatic indictment, they want the conspiracy to sound like it's run out by highly sophisticated individuals who are involved with a particularly nefarious organization when the reality is it's just a bunch of kids," said Fontes.

Gee, I thought it was run by highly sophisticated individuals who are involved with a particularly nefarious organization. After all, the ATF has done some pretty nefarious stuff I can think of. I wonder who "paid" these kids for their efforts?

Sipsey Street Irregulars provides link to another gem

The arms were allowed to slip by AFT agents into presumed organized-crime hands. One disgruntled agent was said to have reported that only 20 arms traffickers were detected during 14 months of the operation and no cartel was dismantled because of it. (more...)

Excellent article.

Rollover in New Mexico?

COLUMBUS, N.M. (KRQE) - The former mayor of a New Mexico border town pleaded guilty to gun smuggling charges four months after he was arrested in a federal sting.


No other suspects in the gun-smuggling ring have struck a plea deal or gone to trial yet.

Ian Garland still rots in prison, and still says ATF was calling the shots on this thing. See "More broken eggs for the F&F omelette" below.

The stench of death surrounds F&F

The body count of Gunrunner, Fast and Furious, and Castaway includes Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, who was killed in December 2010 at the hands of an illegal immigrant working for the Sinaloa Cartel while patrolling an area near Tucson. In addition to Terry, Immigration Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime Zapata was also killed in a separate incident by a weapon allowed to "walk" into Mexico from the U.S.

Only 1,300 of the estimated 2,500 guns allowed to walk into Mexico have been recovered and roughly 150 Mexican law enforcement officers have been killed by weapons traced to Gunrunner. As the bodies pile up, the stench of cover-up grows very strong (more...)

Investor's Business Daily pretty much nails it.

Classic non-apology apology issued by Melson, DOJ stonewalling continues

Melson is quoted as saying, "there were some mistakes made" in Fast and Furious by the ATF's Phoenix Field Division, but Melson said aides to Holder didn't want to admit those mistakes. (more...)

Throwing your car keys away with the garbage: Mistake.

Installing new carpet before you paint the ceiling: Stupid.

Having a half-assed scheme to inflate bogus statistics to push for the disarmament of American Citizens while getting Brian Terry, Jaime Zapata and God-knows-who-else killed for it?

CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT.

NRA "asks" UN not to regulate US Firearms ownership

Asks??

Wayne LaPierre addressed this week's meeting of countries negotiating a treaty regulating the conventional arms trade, asking that all civilian firearms be removed from the proposal. (more...)

Hey Wayne, did you ask them as vociferously as you ask the member-sheep for money?

I have a great plan B if they refuse to submit to your kind pleas: one word..... questionnaire! That'll keep 'em busy for awhile!

If you can read this, thank a gun owner

Father’s Day.

Mother’s Day.

Gun Owner’s Day??

Why not? Does this Nation not owe it’s very existence to private citizens who owned private firearms? It was from the barrel of a private citizen’s rifle that the “shot heard round the world” was discharged. It is the armed citizen to whom we all, as Americans, owe our very lives. Is there anyone with an IQ greater than their age who thinks Japan would not have invaded these shores if not for the fact that, as General Yamamoto said, “there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass”

What about our own government? Are there any left who are so naive or optimistic who believe that if not for the sheer numbers of privately held arms in this country that “the vote” would still decide who goes to Washington? This is the reason for the 2nd Amendment. To those who call themselves adults who would disagree: Get real. If not for the oft-maligned gun owner, Freedom as we know it (and as diminished as it may now be) would be a fading memory.

It’s time Jane and Joe Public acknowledged that. It’s time they thanked us for their children not growing up under any number of murderous regimes that would likely rise from the ashes of a nation with no more private firearms or private firearm owners. This is the gamble the Utopian Citizen Disarmament crowd won’t tell you about...."get behind citizen disarmament and we’ll all live happily ever after. Promise." Screw that noise.

It’s hard to prove an outcome that thankfully hasn’t happened yet, and may never happen. But in every corner of this world, where the recipe is a disarmed citizenry and an armed government, the cold meal served is Genocide. This is not hyperbole, it is reality.

If you can read this, thank a gun owner.

New Mexico connection--innocent citizen jailed for cooperating with ATF

The importance of the New Mexico connection lies in the fact that an innocent citizen sits in jail on bogus charges, charges that fail to recognize that his 'crimes' involved nothing more than doing what he was told by law enforcement acting on behalf of ATF agents as they made straw purchases of firearms from his gun shop in Columbus.

Note: I can't speak to Ian Garland's innocence....but the events he describes seem to fit the pattern.

 

Still crickets from Drudge on F&F

The following is a copy of an email I sent to Drudge on 7/12/2011


"Hey Drudge,

Where is your coverage of the DOJ's ongoing cover-up of the details of Operation Fast & Furious????

You know, the Operation Fast & Furious that got Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry killed? Along with hundreds of Mexican citizens?

The one that's resulted in Oversight and Reform Committee hearings??

Just wondering Drudge......I thought The Drudge Report was a little different than the NY Times. They may be in the tank for Holder and Obama but at least they acknowledge it as a story.

But I guess if I want important news like "London Rocked: Rebekah Resigns" I know where to go."

The reply from Drudge thus far:

Docs knock law protecting patient privacy regarding Constitutional Right

Gun rights supporters who pushed for the new law believe questions about gun ownership are an invasion of privacy and say some people have been dropped by doctors simply because they refused to talk about firearms. (more...)

Tell ya what I think.
I think every patient should routinely query their doctor as to their errors, patient mortality rate and any other tangential information that might affect the patient's well-being. Questions might include the doctor's alcohol and drug consumption habits, mental health status, and list of traffic infractions (in order to discern a possible pattern of recklessness).

Is Ruben Navarrette just a self-loathing "Harvard Chicano"

Or is he a typical Psycho-Marxist who doesn't mind climbing atop a stack of his murdered countrymen when it suits his politics?

Either way, Michael Bane calls out this turd.

Enjoy the carnage wrought by Mike here.

Hats off to Codrea, Vanderboegh

In this first of what I hope to be many O.C.M blog entries, I must first direct your attention to the tireless work of both David Codrea of The War On Guns, and Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars. It is not exaggeration to proclaim these two men indispensable to the cause of Liberty. Mr. Codrea's efforts may be followed here, and Mr. Vanderboegh's here.

Please share these links far and wide, and may the unerring logic contained within them be a beacon for all free men who seek truth.

Secondly, let me say at the outset that there will be no niceties displayed here for the Enemies of Freedom. No quarter will be given , and none will be asked.

Let's get on with it then.
