David Codrea: What does Obama mean by ‘held accountable’?

Here’s one other curiosity I find—a personal one. And I bring this up not to insert myself or Mike into the story, but because the ATF Chief Counsel’s Office already did that when they called one of my Gun Rights Examiner columns to the attention of senior Bureau staff.

Considering the well-documented slogging Vanderboegh and I had to go through to help arrange Congressional protection for whistleblowers and get their story noticed outside of our limited-reach special interest readership, considering how much of what we were writing about has been and continues to be corroborated, considering that demonstrates we have been relying on credible insider sources, and considering that we continue to break new revelations in spite of being ridiculously out-resourced by Big Boy Media, I find it curious OIG has not at least approached us.

Hell, I'd love a chance to question them. Maybe ask 'em when we're going to get a real investigation...

It involves the scope of lawlessness by our government which increases exponentially by the day.
Increases by the very nature of its disregard for the Rule of Law.

You can count on one thing from these people who are involved in this tyranny, if it was you or I who committed these crimes, we would be sitting in a 6 x 6 concrete box for the rest of my natural life.

It is unquestionable, sure as the sun rises, laws are for the little people.
The ruling class is exempt from the law, and the consequences of breaching those laws. In truth, the ruling class does just that, it Rules. It makes the rules, enforces, or not, the rules, as it sees fit to its benefit first and last. When the president of this nation leads from this position of absolute power, all is subordinated to a system of decree and favoritism geared to protect like minded crooks and traitors.

A Constitutional Republic functioning under The Rule of Law does not operate this way. This my fellow American is the definition of tyranny.

It is people such as this that control most of our government. People who can not afford to be held accountable for what they are guilty of committing. Nor, it is safe to say, are willing to give up the power and position they hold in this system of tyranny.

We now are only a breath away from dictatorship. It is part and parcel of why Gunwalker gains no traction. An entire system of government is guilty.

But I'm not telling you guys anything for sure.; October 19, 2011 at 2:36 PM
Johnny said...: You're not going to get a real investigation, obviously. A real investigation and all the facts laid bare would bring down the American government. This stuff was going on under Bush as well - which is why Issa won't push it to the logical conclusion.

The bottom line: government runs the drugs and guns for the big banks who launder the money; the prison-industrial complex grows fat off the pickings.

The American economy simply wouldn't exist any other way.; October 19, 2011 at 3:38 PM
Anonymous said...: Herr Goebbels may not have been the first to point out the concept, but he gets credited with it. That is, that the truth is not important. What is important is what people believe. Herr Goebbels even stated that the purpose of his ministry was not to spread the truth, but to spread what the government he represented wanted the German people and the world to believe.

Following that principle, DOJ does not have to ever conduct an investigation. So long as the media and the people can be made to believe that an investigation is in progress, an actual investigation is not necessary and might even prove counterproductive to DOJ's interests.; October 19, 2011 at 3:53 PM

No matter what answer they gave the truth is a simple one. We'll get a real invenstigation about 6 months after they catch the Pope kneeling on a prayer rug facing Mecca.; October 19, 2011 at 3:56 PM
Anonymous said...: The real question is what does he mean by "screwed up?"

Because in their minds the ones who screwed up are the whistleblowers...

I just hope that "held accountable" doesn't take place on a park bench somewhere.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
