In April of 2009, Barack Obama named Kenneth Melson acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Today, this attorney and longtime bureaucrat possesses information which could bring down A.G. Eric Holder and perhaps Barack Obama himself.
As head of the ATF it was Melson who oversaw the Fast and Furious project, begun only a few months after his appointment and now responsible for the sale of more than 2000 weapons to straw purchasers for Mexican drug cartels.
He helped facilitate the “walking” of these guns across the Mexican border, instructing agents to not interfere with the process. He even watched closed circuit broadcasts of US border state gun dealers illegally transferring dozens of weapons to criminal buyers at the instruction of his agency.
After ATF agent and whistle blower John Dodson testified to members of Charles Grassley’s Senate Judiciary Committee, Melson provided cover for his bosses at the Justice Department and the White House by saying nothing and providing nothing but denials in response to Grassley’s demands for information.
But as the ATF’s Project Gunrunner, or “Gunwalker” as it is more rightly called and its Phoenix, sister operation, Fast and Furious have become better known, dragging Eric Holder before Congressional Committees and forcing employees of his agency to explain their responsibility in the deaths of American agents, Ken Melson has become a liability to those who selected him and his days at the ATF appear numbered.
Nevertheless, there is more to the “Gunwalker” story and its continued cover up than apparent blind loyalty shown by a Regime subordinate to his bosses.
Around the time Ken Melson was made Acting ATF Director and just before thousands of guns began briskly “walking” to Mexico, Melson was named co-chair of the NEWLY CHARTERED White House Subcommittee on Forensic Science.
It seems Melson “…has been running around the country for quite a while…trying to convince everyone that his OTHER organization, ASCLD/LAB should be legislated into permanently overseeing the forensic science system of the U.S.”
And what better way to assist that “other organization”– ASCLD/LAB, the American Society of Crime Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board, upon which Melson sits as a director–than to own his own little White House subcommittee which can write the rules according to which all forensic labs must operate?
So for three years, Melson has traveled the nation, not on behalf of the ATF, but giving lectures and trying to take over the field of forensics.
Did Melson agree to do the Obama Regime’s ATF “gun Walking” in return for White House clout and a blank check in pursuit of a forensic laboratory monopoly?
Will Melson go quietly under the Obama bus in return for Obama’s assurance of continued support for his dream of forensic manifest destiny?
If Melson makes a deal with Charles Grassley or Darrell Issa, it might keep him out of the slammer, but the rest of his shameless, alternate career mongering will be over. And so might be the reign of Obama the First. We are in for some interesting times.
So the next time a gun is sold, remember the ATF can’t tell if the buyer is a law abiding American citizen or a Mexican drug lord.
Then again, maybe the Obama Administration just doesn’t see much difference.

One can only hope that this will be the end of the Obama Empire.
For someone who posed as a Uniting Image of Hope , how did the Quotes in Obama's BOOKS get Covered Up ???
I can see how this Issue of Ineligibility has went un Challenged , because of the political correct Politics thats grown like a cancer in our Government to the Point that it has left the Will to scrutinize even the least Controversial talking point of a politician , left alone the Most appeasing of those comments that would render a Politician Incompetent to honor the Laws of the Land in which they seek to Hold Political Office in , like these quotes here . How does one Claim they Stand with Americans Long time allies like Israel when the quotes say Otherwise and the evidence of the exact Opposite is Now a Policy ??

Is the Quote in the link above ; " I will stand with the Muslims if the Political Winds shift in an Ugly Direction " , mean that a Person who claims he is a Person who can Unite the World together as he said in the 2008 election cycle , does that mean what is being said in this Video link ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BH5SCUg3r8
And is this a action that speaks to that process of Unity in the world by a political leader of the FREE World ?
U.S. Designates Israel as Country That Tends ‘To Promote, Produce, or Protect’ Terrorists; Also Calls Israel Anti-Terror Partner , http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/us-designates…
I think we the people need some Clarification on just what the Plan is here for the future of the USA , because I am having a little trouble with this whole Uniter gig that we were sold in 2008 ?????
Well, for one obama can lie with impunity because we are infidels. I think AZ should check into the reason they were picked for this gun running. Oh yeah, ex gov janet napotanliano(sp). Even the UN tried to stop them from preventing illegals crossing borders and if they had the gun running incident would have been exposed sooner or had to be stopped. Now I suspect gov brewer. Excuse me while I go nuts. But what has happened to the lawsuits it's all quite now.
Anyone know what is currently going on with Melson ?
What bothers me the most is the fact there is ample evidence and inuendo that BHO and his admin. are nothing but a bunch of Chicago-style punk criminals. There's enough evidence for this statement.
Now, hopefully, the Issa Committee will finally have enough ammo. to go after these America haters and NWO clowns. If this was any other admin. heads would be rolling and prison terms would be meted out.
All of this criminal activity has been going on for quite some time, i.e., Okla. City bombing, under Clinton; a war waged with Afghanistan and Iraq, when most of the terrorists who flew planes into the WTC were from Saudi Arabia, all of this phoney baloney under the Bush regime. Now, we have this clown Obama starting a war with Libya w/o the consent of Congress. The Executive Branch of our govt. has been out of control now for quite some years and I believe the Obama admin. just thinks they can go about doing anything they like at will in order to bring about their dream of a one world govt. Well, I believe, they've bit off more than they can chew, with this Operation Gun Walker and Fast and Furious.
They got caught with their hand in the cookie jar, and I want to see this investigated completely. I'm most certain this goes all the way to the top, meaning the White House and the Dept. of Justice (an oxymoron).
God help us in bringing these fools to justice!
