Wikileaks’ Hacked Stratfor Emails Shed Light on Feds Using License Plate Readers (ATF & gun sho

Gun shows. The officials in the meeting suspect that a lot of guns that reach Mexico come from American gun shows. The Ambassador from Mexico is cited as believing that shows were the main source of firearms coming into his country. The ATF then says that investigating gun shows is “touchy.” Cross-referencing. Despite the sensitivity, the ATF hoped to be able to identify vehicles that visited gun shows and then crossed the border. The notes read, “[Mr. 192] noted that they would do the check once they came into Mexico. Mr. 009 stated part of the new ways that are being looked at is incorporating that type of information into license plate readers for local law enforcement. He added that DEA is going to provide more and more license plate readers especially southbound.” This last point squares with ACLU’s finding, which found a 2010 document that said the DEA had 41 readers set up in southern border states. ATF and the NRA. Apparently law enforcement checks in with the gun rights advocates. Mr. 123 is identified as an ATF employee in the hacked email. In a conversation about the federal government’s gun tracking system, eTrace, the notes attribute to him the following, “He added that they are in constant communication with Mr. Templeton who has the Cross Roads of the West Gun Show as well as NRA attorneys and that there had been no complaints on how things were moving.” Bob Templeton is shown as the President of the National Association of Arms Shows on this op-ed and runs the gun show mentioned, according to its site.

A LOT of people were wrong about Comey - Judge Nap, Judge Jeanine, & Andrew McCarthy to name just 3.

When Comey did what he did, it demonstrated that we are way down the road past the “wake up call” stage which it seems most of us have missed. The horse is already out of the barn & it’s too late to close the door. I don’t know how we recover from such a thoroughly corrupt government .... FBI, DOJ, agencies weaponized against us like the IRS, DHS, etc. I don’t think we do recover so it’s going to be inevitable that it’s “us” or “them”.

Trump wouldn’t have any jurisdiction to pardon him for a crime committed in Sweden anyway

There is a targeting dilemma...
Those following illegal orders, or those giving illegal orders?

I think it depends — when shooting begins, it'll be more likely target of opportunity time.

it'll be more likely "target of opportunity" time.

Clarification: I don't want shooting to start, but it's looking like things won't resolve w/o it unless there's some literal divine intervention.
