New Report: Holder Planned to Attend Fast and Furious Press Conference Prior to Border Agent Murder
House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa and Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee Charles Grassley have just released another report, in a series of three, about Operation Fast and Furious. The latest report details failures by and knowledge of Department of Justice officials involved in the fatal scandal. The first report was released in July and a third report is expected in the next few weeks.
The most recent report contains damning information and documentation showing Attorney General Eric Holder's Deputy Chief of Staff Monty Wilkinson and DOJ Official Patrick Cunningham discussing plans for Holder to participate a press conference announcing the "take-down" or the end of Operation Fast and Furious before Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed on December 15, 2010. Guns from the Fast and Furious program were left at Terry's murder scene. Holder claims he didn't know about Operation Fast and Furious until May of 2011. The email below was sent on December 14, 2010 at 12:28 pm, just 12 hours before Terry's murder.
Q. Okay. So this email is specifically in regard to the Attorney General coming out to join you for the take-down of Fast and Furious?As soon as the news showing the connection between Terry's murder and Operation Fast and Furious made its way back to Washington, Holder's participation in the press conference was cancelled.
A. Correct.

Sir John Dahlbert, also known as Lord Acton, whose most famous quote is, "Absolute power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" wrote Lee after the northern victory. Dahlberg was one of, if not the most erudite political philosophers of his time. In his letter asking for Lee's opinion of the result of the war he wrote:
".....The institutions of your Republic have not exercised on the old world the salutary and liberating influence which ought to have belonged to them, by reason of those defects and abuses of principle which the Confederate Constitution was expressly and wisely calculated to remedy. I believed that the example of that great Reform would have blessed all the races of mankind by establishing true freedom purged of the native dangers and disorders of Republics. Therefore I deemed that you were fighting the battles of our liberty, our progress, and our civilization; and I mourn for the stake which was lost at Richmond more deeply than I rejoice over that which was saved at Waterloo."
Lee replied:
"I am conscious of the compliment conveyed in your request for my opinion as to the light in which American politics should be viewed, and had I the ability, I have not the time to enter upon a discussion, which was commenced by the founders of the constitution and has been continued to the present day. I can only say that while I have considered the preservation of the constitutional party of the General Government to be the foundation of our peace and safety at home and abroad, I yet believe that the maintenance of the rights and authority reserved to the states and to the people, not only essential to the adjustment and balance of the general system, but the safeguard to the continuance of a free government. I consider it a chief source of stability to our political system, whereas the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded it.......The South has contended only for the supremacy of the Constitution, and the just administration of the laws made in pursuance to it."

35 terabyte tape cassettes -
The cassette tape is about to make a comeback, in a big way. The need
for something to store huge tranches of data is greater than ever, and
while hard drives have traditionally been the workhorse of large storage
operations, a new wave of ultra-dense tape drives that pack in
information at much higher densities, while using less energy, is set to
replace them, says Paul Marks in this article at New Scientist.Any gold anywhere in the world, that is not in one's physical possession , and has been handed over to an insolvent bank (virtually all of them) for "safekeeping", is currently being sold, lent out, rehypothecated and otherwise traded with, in a way that any demand for full delivery will generally be met with silence, blank stares and phone calls going straight to voicemail.

That's what happened under communism — and increasingly, it's happening in America. As Joseph Sobran put it: "'Need' now means wanting someone else's money. 'Greed' means wanting to keep your own. 'Compassion' is when a politician arranges the transfer.'"

Vote PAUL NEWBY for NC Supreme Court: Race will be crucial to gun rights
Gun voters often don’t realize the importance of the North Carolina Supreme Court. The court, however, considers not only cases directly related to gun rights, but will also soon deal with legal challenges to political districts recently drawn by the new Republican majority in the General Assembly. To preserve the present 4-3 conservative majority, it is essential to re-elect Justice PAUL NEWBY to the NC Supreme Court.
Important note: Casting a straight party vote does NOT cast a vote for judicial or presidential candidates. Those votes must be cast separately.
Many of you have asked why GRNC didn’t include judicial races in its “Remember in November” voter guides. The answer is that having judges complete candidate surveys can be problematic in that having their views on specific issues expressed in writing could force them to recuse themselves from crucial gun cases.
In conversations with GRNC, Justice Newby agreed to give the following statement describing his position on the Second Amendment:
Included
in our explicit God-given inalienable rights, protected by both our
federal and State Constitutions, is "the right to keep and bear arms."
US Const. 2nd Amendment, NC Constitution, Art. I, Sec. 30. As a
gun-owner, I cherish that right. For the last eight years as a Justice
on the NC Supreme Court, I have a record of protecting our
Constitutional rights, including gun ownership. I frequently speak to
school and civic groups about the need to protect and exercise our
fundamental rights. I appreciate the efforts of your group to educate
our citizens about the importance of protecting our gun ownership
rights. What you do helps fulfill our State Constitutional reminder, "A
frequent recurrence to fundamental principles is absolutely necessary to
preserve the blessings of liberty." NC Constitution Art. I, Sec. 35.
Sincerely,
Justice Paul Newby
Sincerely,
Justice Paul Newby
LEFT TARGETS NEWBY
Bear in mind too that the left has targeted Newby for defeat, describing him just today as “another Tea Party politician masquerading under a black robe.”
