I'm sure you heard that here in Tennessee, Gibson Guitar has experienced the fascist fury of being one of the few all-American companies left.Note that this company doesn't outsource anything and exports at a profit. Maybe they didn't get the memo that jobs are supposed to go overseas and products are to be imported. Listen as the CEO tells of his ordeal of facing down the barrel of the state. Conservatives, where the crap is my national security???
He questions whether his company is "valued" in the United States. The United States government does not value you at all, but "America" does. Call you local and state officials and tell them you are outraged and tell them what you know about Agenda 21. Most of them have no clue what that's all about.
Look at what the governor of Tennessee has to say about the matter when one Tennessean emailed him, (wasn't me).

Dear Friend:
Thank you for contacting me about the recent situation with Gibson Guitars. Listening to and learning from Tennesseans is very important to me, and I certainly appreciate your concern, frustration, and input on this matter.
This is a federal issue that is being investigated by the United States Department of Justice. I encourage you to share your concerns with our U.S. Senators and with your Congressman.
Again, thank you for writing. I look forward to working with you and all Tennesseans to make our great state an even better place to live, work, and raise a family.
Warmest regards,
Bill Haslam
Oh well, it's being investigated by the DoJ, the same organization that threatened to shut down all flights coming in and out of Texas if they dared vote out the TSA. The same organization that is totally looking the other way while billions of dollars are being counterfieted by the Federal Reserve and being pumped out to foreign banks. Somebody needs to check out whether Bill Haslam has velcro or shoelaces if you know what I mean. Look at my previous posts and see where I warned you about this guy. We could all be led to the slaughter and he'd be sitting there chewing bubble gum mumbling how its a "federal" matter. Davy Crockett weeps.
Sorry to hear about your sorry governor. This would appear to be a case of government intimidation. Many guitar makers use the same wood but the none of the others are in right-to-work states. Not good!
ReplyDeleteIt is just beginning. They will try and put us in our place and let us know who is running things. Shut up and sit down. Yes indeed. No headlines on this story. Wonder why.
ReplyDelete@cof - Gibson CEO says that he was told in a brief that he should relocate to Madagascar to avoid trouble. They are deliberately shutting down any remaining industry in this country not under their control.
ReplyDeleteThis governor is like a wussified Lindsey Graham if you could imagine such a creature.
@Bunky - you are so right. No headlines from the Operation Mockingbird Media - they print what they're told.
I caught this story on another blog, as well. And interesting sidenote: Gibson Guitars owner gives heavily to Republican candidates. Gibson Guitars main competitor gives heavily to Democratic candidates. Somebody's pullin' some strings. (pun intended!)
ReplyDeleteThere is some lip service, but it sure seems No One in a position to do so is fighting for Americans. Lot of talk but no results. None.
ReplyDeleteWhich is the main reasons I say the 'republicans' are about as useful as a bus full of giggling school girls.
Tea Party.
So true that there is probably the political retribution angle as well, in 2009, the Feds came down on Gibson right at the same time those right-leaning GM dealerships were being targeted.
ReplyDeleteI'm personally done with "republicans". I've heard all my adult life if we just win a majority, everything will be ok. I'm now actively watching my 3rd majority and we saw how that shook out with the debt ceiling vote. And they're trying like heck to do their best "tea party" imitations. I bet Karl Rove's written them a manual on how to act like a Tea Party Candidate.
