DOJ Advises Gibson Guitar to Export Labor to Madagascar

The Gibson Guitar saga has taken a sinister turn.

It seems that the Department of Justice wasn’t satisfied with merely raiding the law abiding factories of Gibson Guitar with armed agents, shutting down their operation costing them millions, and leaving the American company in the dark as to how to proceed without going out of business.

Now, according to CEO Henry Juszkiewicz, agents of the United States government are bluntly informing them that they’d be better off shipping their manufacturing labor overseas.

So now we've gone from railing against companies exporting jobs overseas, to REQUIRING companies to export jobs overseas?

The list, ping

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

That's good it didn't happen on this property. Because 'sod off' is just an introductory phrase to bullshit like that.

Looks like his job is to put US citizens out of their jobs!

Our government no longer defends working citizens or American businesses.

Perhaps they don’t employee enough of “ Holder’s people.”

Building a Boeing aircraft plant in S. Carolina = Bad. Moving Gibson to Madagascar = Good.

Sorry, Comrades - you didn’t support Obama in his election bid; off to the gulag with you.

Or would you like to make a big, fat “contribution” to the Democrat Party coffers?

This is beyond tyranny. It is malignant evil.

IMO, the low-level bureaucrats that enforce this crap are just as guilty as the higher-ups who foist these regulations off on us.

If only a way could be found to dissuade people from collaborating with these agencies. Slums have “no go” areas; why shouldn’t productive companies?

[Cymbaline]

If “Holder’s People” who work at Gibson were large DNC donors, things would be different.

This story should play well with the swing voters Obummer desperately needs to win reelection. One wonders if he really does want to get reelected or just cause as much damage as he can on his way out of the door? Between this and the Jobs speech debacle one does wonder.

I read the comments on the site... Someone suggests one of the candidates show up at the deabte with a Gibson Guitar and tell this story.

Please if anyone on FR has any connections with any campaigns use this idea. Get a Gibson Guitar (I suggest a Gold Top Les Paul because it is iconic!) and get in front of a Fox News Camera and get this story out there!

Madagascar is where Heinrich Himmler originally proposed sending the jews.

Does anyone know, what’s so special about the ebony Gibson is using? Lots of guitar companies use ebony, so what’s special about Gibson?

Most of the other Guitar Companies contribute to Democrat Campaigns. Gibson doesn't as much.

WTF??? My tagline is getting more relevant with each passing day!

Only if those jobs involve sanding the surfaces of Indian rosewood.

Our government is collectively insane.

We need to see an actual photostatic copy of the Federal document stating this.

Then plaster it all over the internet and perhaps get a GOP candidate to make this another Obama anti-American campaign issue with the voters.

Gibson donates to the wrong party.
