Biden ATF Harassed and Stalked Florida Gun Shop Owner after He Testified to Congress About the Agency

 

Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) accused the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives of retaliating against a Florida whistleblower.

 

Biden’s ATF harassed and stalked Chris Smith, a Florida gun shop owner who testified before Congress on the weaponization of the ATF.

 

The ATF has been harassing and raiding gun shops at an unprecedented rate under the Biden Regime.

 

Rep. Gaetz said shortly after Chris Smith testified on the weaponization of the ATF in June, ATF agents showed up at his store ‘Gulf Coast Gun’ unannounced looking to inspect a manufacturer’s license.

 

“After Chris’ testimony at my Field Hearing on the Weaponization of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, ATF agents showed up at his business unprompted to inspect a manufacturer’s license he has held for only six months: Given Chris has not yet used the license, the agents had nothing to inspect and had no choice but to leave,” Gaetz wrote, according to the letter obtained by the Washington Examiner.

“The ATF had previously audited Chris’ retail license within the last year, and it follows that given the ATF is forbidden from auditing the same business twice in one year, the only excuse the ATF had to harass Chris further was to audit a new, unused manufacturer’s license,” Gaetz said.

 

“The local ATF agent admitted that he had no records Chris was using the license, but nevertheless received a direct order to audit Chris’ new license,” Gaetz said.

 

Gaetz said ATF agents stalked Smith and even showed up unannounced at his store manager’s home.

 

“In addition to this violation of federal law, the ATF showed up uninvited to the home of Christian O’Brien, Chris’ store manager, without making an appointment, as he does not have business hours,” he wrote. “Christian does not sell any firearms or perform any business on behalf of Gulf Coast Gun. Christian was not home at the time, so the agents called him and told him: ‘Don’t worry, we know where you work.’ This kind of stalking is unwarranted and creepy.”

 

Gaetz asked ATF Director Steven Dettelbach to answer a series of questions related to the agency’s actions against Smith and O’Brien.

JOE BIDEN: “The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salam, excuse me, Mohammed bin Salman … and since he’s not speaking today, I wanted to — well maybe he is speaking today. I had a note he wasn’t speaking. Any rate, I’m gonna stop there.”

Rand Paul Blasts Pentagon For Role In Niger, Demands To Know How Many Boots On Ground

 

Sen. Rand Paul has sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin demanding to know more about the Pentagon's role in Niger, which recently underwent a coup wherein Niger's US-trained military overthrow the democratically elected US-backed president.

 

Naturally, the senator from Kentucky has some questions. The letter was sent Tuesday and subsequently obtained by Politico. Among Paul's chief aims is to assess just how many American troops are still in Niger, which is now being ruled by a junta, which includes Brig. Gen. Moussa Salaou Barmou, who received training by elite US forces.

 

"Under what authorities, and or what purpose did U.S. forces provide training to Moussa Salaou Barmou or any other Nigerien forces and coup leaders who overthrew President Mohamed Bazoum," Paul asked in the letter.

 

He's further demanding to know which specific Niger forces were beneficiaries of US security aid and support, and where US-supplied equipment went.

 

"Is the Department of Defense concerned that any current recipients of funds, training, equipment or other kinds support … is currently engaged in human rights violations or engaged in human rights violations in the last ten years," Paul wrote.

 

The stakes couldn't be higher, given the potential for broader regional war with foreign forces (including the French) in the middle, as Responsible Statecraft's Kelly Vlahos points out:

 

There are 1,016 U.S. troops still in Niger — a virtual powderkeg of political and military unrest since an armed junta overthrew its president and locked him and his family in the basement of the government palace in late July.

 

As a result, regional governments under the banner of ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) is threatening to intervene militarily until the still-imprisoned leader is restored to office. The coup leaders have responded by rallying the people to their cause, as well as other armed juntas in the region.

 

Below are a couple more pointed questions from the letter, which seem to allude remotely to the recent Afghan pullout fiasco:

 

How many countries is the U.S. military operating in under the 2001 AUMF? How many are operating under Sections 333 and 127e of the U.S Code, and who specifically is receiving aid and training in those countries? How much money went to Niger?

 

Aside from the tragic deaths of four American soldiers in October 2017 in an ambush, how many service members have come under fire in Niger since 2013? Under what authorities are being used to keep a U.S. military footprint there now?

 

It should be noted that coup leaders like Brig. Gen. Barmou weren't just trained by the Pentagon in Africa, but in his case he attended military schooling at Fort Benning, Georgia and the National Defense University in Washington, D.C.

 

"As citizens of a Constitutional republic," Sen. Paul concluded in his letter, "Americans must be informed of hostilities involving the Armed Forces so that the people can participate in national debates over war and peace."

US Pushes Bidenomics To The World During Weekend Summit For Global Powers

 

President Joe Biden’s signature economic policy, dubbed “Bidenomics,” is being pushed onto other countries this weekend as the president heads to the G20 summit in India.

 

Biden traveled to New Delhi, India, on Thursday, where he is attending the G20 summit — a gathering of 19 major countries and the European Union — to discuss issues related to global cooperation, according to statements made in a briefing Tuesday from Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. Sullivan emphasized that Biden would be championing his economic policy at the summit, pushing other countries, particularly developing nations, to adopt the same approach.

 

“Here at home, President Biden has worked to rebuild the American economy, as you’ve all heard him say, from the bottom up and the middle out by making smart investments in the industries of the future while tackling climate change and empowering workers,” Sullivan said at a press briefing. “We think countries around the world, too, can benefit from a similar type of approach and that we can help them as well by mobilizing investment to support them in tackling the challenges that they face.”

 

Biden signed the American Rescue Plan in March 2021 as a part of his economic policy, which was designed to deliver $1.9 trillion in economic relief from the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill included stimulus checks for individuals, debt bailouts for state and local governments, funding for vaccines and health care-related costs and more.

 

“The essence of Bidenomics is a highly expansionary budget policy that former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers has described as the most irresponsible budget policy in the last 40 years,” Desmond Lachman, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “This policy contributed importantly to a surge in inflation to a multi-decade high. That in turn has forced the Federal Reserve to slam on the monetary policy brakes which could be setting us up for a recession next year.”

 

Under Biden’s watch, inflation skyrocketed to a peak of 9.1% in June 2022 following high spending, which slowly retreated to 3.0% in June, ticking up to 3.2% in July, still above the Federal Reserve’s target rate of 2%. To combat inflation, the Fed has raised its federal funds rate 11 times since March 2022, bringing the current rate into a range of 5.25% and 5.50%.

 

“Bidenomics is hardly worthy of copying,” Lachman told the DCNF. “We must hope that the other G-20 countries resist the siren calls for excessive budget spending. If not, the world economy will be in big trouble.”

 

Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act, a key component of Bidenomics, in August 2022, approving around $750 billion in new spending, with nearly $370 billion of that directed toward fighting climate change through green initiatives.

WATCH – ‘Overthrow This System’: Communists Disrupt California School Board Meeting on Parental Rights

 

A school board meeting got heated when communists went up against parents’ rights activists Thursday in Orange County, California.

 

The Orange Unified School Board was about to pass a parental notification policy that makes it a requirement for staff members to tell parents when their child “identifies” as “transgender,” Fox News reported Saturday.

 

However, members of the Revolutionary Communist Party became boisterous, which turned into shouting coming from both groups.

 

Officers eventually escorted the communists from the meeting, and video footage shows one of the moments when things grew tense and loud:

 

“As part of the Revolutionary Communists we actually are here to say that this policy, and even having the discussion about changing the words in this policy and trying to reach across the aisle with fascism is just completely the wrong term,” one of the communists told listeners from the podium:

 

We are getting organized for a real revolution to get rid of this system, to get to a whole society and world where LGBT people are actually treated and viewed as full human beings. Any kind of trying to negotiate with any of these fascists in the room, on the board, is illegitimate. And any decent people who actually want to fight for the humanity of LGBT people should be getting organized for revolution to overthrow this whole system that gave birth to this white supremacy and this male supremacy. We have a constitution after the revolution that would replace the U.S. Constitution that would actually uphold the rights of LGBT people and not have to negotiate all of the ugly terms that are being said right now in society.

US court orders Argentina to pay $16 billion over oil firm takeover

 

The ruling wraps up a years-long legal battle waged by former YPF investors backed by the world’s largest litigation finance provider

 

A US federal judge has entered a $16 billion judgment in favor of former shareholders of energy company YPF, who were backed by Burford Capital, in a case against the government of Argentina.

 

The dispute, arising from the country’s takeover of a majority stake in the oil and gas company in 2012, ended in defeat for the Argentine government, which has been ordered to pay $8.4 billion in damages and $7.6 billion in interest to two defunct investors in YPF, Petersen and Eton Park.

 

Shares in Burford Capital, a litigation finance powerhouse that largely funded the plaintiffs’ claims, soared 28% in US trading shortly after the decision was published on Friday.

 

The Argentine government called the ruling “unprecedented and erroneous” in a statement, adding that it would appeal.

 

“This case over the rights of former shareholders of an Argentine company under the Argentine company’s bylaws does not belong in a US court,” the statement reads.

 

Buenos Aires seized control of 51% of YPF in 2012 after accusing its majority shareholder, Spanish company Repsol SA, of failing to invest sufficient resources in oil production. In 2014, the parties reached an agreement under which the Spanish firm received compensation of $5 billion.

 

Burford Capital later purchased the defunct companies that owned 25% of YPF shares before the nationalization.

 

“We will continue to defend energy sovereignty and our state company YPF against vulture funds,” Argentine government spokeswoman Gabriela Cerruti posted on X (formerly Twitter).
