The ATF: Where Perversion Means Promotion
Coach Is Right ^ | 3/18/2011 | Doug Book

Posted on 03/18/2011 2:45:41 PM PDT by Oldpuppymax

In December of 2009, Russell Vanderwerf, Director of Industry Operations for the Houston office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms was arrested in New Orleans after staffers at the Residence Inn at which he was staying were sent to investigate a malfunctioning hotel fire alarm. It seems Mr. Vanderwerf had disconnected the smoke detectors in his suite and removed the alarm horn, leaving it hanging out of the wall. But far more interesting to hotel employees, Vanderwerf had also removed the door between his bedroom and the outer suite and replaced it with a four by five foot piece of plywood, mounting it to the door jam with hinges and screws.

Near the center of this makeshift door was a hole, rimmed with duck tape. “A front desk staffer told authorities that she’d received a complaint from a hotel guest who said the door to that room had been propped open…and that she noticed several ‘young men’ entering and exiting. The guest also complained of hearing ‘sex noises’ coming from the room…”, according to the filed police report.

The duck tape-lined hole, string of young men “entering and exiting” and the sound of “sex noises” I’ll leave to your imagination. What is truly difficult to imagine is that Russell Vanderwerf has not been disciplined by the ATF! On the contrary, according to an ATF agent posting as ‘All Eyes on You’ on the website CleanUpATF.org, “it has been confirmed that Russell Vanderwerf is being reassigned to 99 New York Ave.”

In short, Mr. Vanderwerf is going to Washington, D.C! And just to complete this Orwell in Wonderland tale, ‘All Eyes on You’ tells us that Vanderwerf spent 2010 working from home at full pay, will be moved to D.C. at taxpayer expense and is being promoted to the position of Deputy Chief.

How can a walking criminal perversion earn an all expenses paid promotion to the nation’s capital? The folks at Sipsey Street Irregulars blog have a theory. For years the ATF has encouraged gun dealers to complete weapon sales to suspected and even to known straw purchasers for Mexican drug cartels. The Agency claims that, thanks to serial number tracing, such sales lead to the eventual arrest and prosecution of higher-ups in the drug sales and transport trade. As ATF Director of Industry Operations in Houston, Vanderwerf was “…responsible for overseeing inspection of all federal gun and explosives licenses in the area.” So those whose living depended upon keeping their Federal Firearms License knew it was important to keep Mr. Vanderwerf happy. Therefore when the ATF told a dealer to complete a questionable cash sale for several rifles to a Hispanic male, that dealer did what he was told. And the number one seller of arms sold in the U.S. and confiscated by Mexican authorities–115 guns so far–is Carter’s Country, in Houston Texas!

As the above information is only available because of ATF whistle blowers and the efforts of relentless investigative reporters, perhaps Mr. Vanderwerf’s little peccadilloes have been overlooked by the ATF because a vengeful, vocal ex-employee would not represent the Agency’s idea of positive public relations. After all, even in Obama’s America, encouraging the sale of guns to Mexican drug lords would be difficult to defend.

Simple. Larry Craig is a Republican, so when he’s accused of soliciting male sex, he has to go. The media has a field day keeping the story hot for weeks, with even rock DJ’s and thousands of shock jock morning shows keeping it in the public eye.

This guy is a Democrat, so he gets to stay, and the media does not go ballistic with coverage for weeks. Most people will never hear of this.

This is America, the Land of the Free, you should know how things work by now.

Why is a government employee, a civil servant, staying in a suite anywhere? You paid for it.

A couple years before this happened a DEA agent in NOLA for some sort of conference turned up fatally beaten. He was in the St Claude Ave area which is a good walk from the French Quarter and the hotel district. St Claude Ave is also no place that casual white middle class strollers visit. There are efforts to gentrify parts of the Bywater area but everyone knows (black or white) that you stay off the street and lock all the locks as the sun goes down in that part of the city. He apparently was lured there by some sketchy character he met in the French Quarter on the promise of lots of drug and sex action to follow (maybe queer sex, that's the rumor anyhow). Instead he was rolled and fatally beaten. The violence of the attack would support the queer sex rumor as the young street thugs loath ‘whitboy punk predators’ and there are quite a few who come to the Crescent City to do some sinning away from prying eyes back home. In short feds on a boondoggle or even legit business trip periodically get in deep trouble in NOLA as they believe it really is a moral free fire zone where they can act out their kinky desires and suffer no harm.

He should have gone straight to his sheriff.

It's just a training exercise. They were shooting at a duck. They had to tape the duck in a convenient spot.

Just wait. It's gonna be that or a twinkie defense.

That is unpossible.

It is easy to spot the neon signs in the FQ and other places in NOLA advertising orgies and other things for $25 or so.

This guy did not have to sneak around for sex.

Unpossible, I love it. Well this fellow being a fed LEO was probably expecting to get his free by flashing his impressive badge at the dim natives before he flashed something else. Didn't work out that way. I think his super squirrel credential went missing and was never found.

Today’s BATF has become the special ed of federal law enforcement. Full of those who failed to make the grade in the Secret Service, NSA, CIA and FBI for various reasons (mostly psychological). And, many of them carry chips on their shoulders and think the have something to prove to their more “elite” brethren. A dangerous mix.

It’s time to begin organizing Committees of Safety. When critical mass (numbers) is attained, take on the corrupt and illegal fascist syndicate occupying Washington and infesting our states.
