UPDATE NOTE: Due to Examiner.com column character limitations, this chronology encompasses from Dec. 28, 2010 through March 8, 2011. For updates after that, please click here to see Part Two.
The following is a summary and time line of articles appearing on the Sipsey Street Irregulars blog and Gun Rights Examiner, reflecting original reporting on the developing "Project Gunwalker" story by Mike Vanderboegh and myself. That's the purposely ironic name I assigned it, a parody of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive's "Project Gunrunner," and it refers to allegations by whistleblowing ATF insiders that:
- ATF management was allowing potentially hundreds of semiautomatic firearms to be walked across the Mexican border in order to pad statistics used to further budget and power objectives.
- Mexican authorities were kept in the dark, and protests that they should be informed were overridden, first by the Phoenix ATF office, and ultimately by higher-ups in Washington, DC.
- A gun used in this operation was involved in a December 2010 incident in which a Border Patrol agent was killed.
The original allegations were posted on CleanUpATF.org. Vanderboegh and I, who have a history going back years of documenting allegations posted there, and pressing for congressional hearings to investigate the claims, were both contacted independently by various ATF insiders claiming to have corroborating information and documentation. Mike vetted his sources and I used my contacts to help validate that my informant was who he represented himself to be. Mike and I did what we could throughout our separate and coordinated investigations to test and corroborate what was being told. We also had a small circle of behind-the-scenes consultants, including firearms designer Len Savage, and a few other knowledgeable advisors, all with contacts and informed insights of their own, and all of whom have earned our trust over the years.
Our primary goal was to help arrange for protection for our sources, and quickly, as retaliation was feared. Because the allegations involved higher ups within the Justice Department, the added protection afforded by separation of powers was sought. Through various contacts and machinations that are documented in the following timeline, the whistleblowers came under the protective umbrella of Sen. Charles Grassley, a senior member of the Committee of the Judiciary.
Our secondary goal was to push this story outside our limited spheres of influence and into the "mainstream press," so that it would be problematic to ignore or bury things. Again, making this happen has been an ongoing struggle, but we've seen the first cracks in the dam. The following time line will bring journalists just getting involved with this story up to speed by walking them though it, from its genesis to where we are today as major media outlets finally begin to take notice and get involved.
By way of a FAQ, two seem to be recurrent:
Will you have your sources contact us?
and
Will you provide us with copies of documentation?
The answer to both is "No." The reason is one of protection. You will need to observe official proceedings and develop/consult sources of your own.
Here's what's happened so far, at least what I can publicly disclose:

Mega putrid! We need the Commandant of USMC to do a major house cleaning as the corruption from 90% of CA superior court judges accepting bribes to the ninth circuit court ignoring Dr.Fines writ of habeus corpus, to AG Holder scheming with the ATF and of course the still missing trillions from the Pentagon and trillions to men in the shadows a la Bernanke. Mexico is starting to look pristine.
Just a word of caution to the Whistleblowers: an old girlfriend of mine did her Masters thesis on the Medical Evidence of the Kennedy Assasination. She was sitting in the UMASS library, reading away when several individuals approached her and sat down at her table. They proceeded to tell her that regardless of what she found out, to PUBLISH IT IMMEDIATELY! Even 20 years later, certain key individuals and organizations were acutely sensitive to examinations of 'the facts' and would have no qualms in 'irradicating' a thorn in their side. The people that sat down at her table were Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw and their producers, and they were not kidding around. They were genuinely concerned for her safety, and she had done nothing to attract attention to her thesis, beyond general inquiries (read, asking the right questions). The things you know about BATFE need to come out, for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to keep the rest of us safe from freeform tyranny and subversive oppression. Fight The Good Fight! But, CYA, as well!
This is the stuff of Spy Novels. Hillary Clinton - Janet Napalitono and many others have been making this accusation for over 2 years now.
The corruption starts at the top.
The field agents knew this was wrong.
Congress had better act, The Main Stream media is going to let the story die.
The FEDS make headlines today with FBI and DEA
All misdirection.
This is how Watergate started, and we all know how it ended..
Don't ever stop reporting the Truth, as this is the only thing, Freedom of the Press by actual real Journalists,which stands between Democracy and Tyranny..!!!
True Patriotic American People, will stand our ground, stand fast to defend the Truth, and defend Freedom to our dying breath, as we all know, Freedom is NOT Free.!!!!
Just like against the Radical Vicious Hate Mongering Anti-American Liberal Socialist Marxist Public Union Thugs and Goons, in Wisconsin.!!!
The American Patriotic People, now realize that "WE THE PEOPLE", the "WILL" of the Majority, of the American people, are the gate Keepers of America's Freedom, Liberty, Justice, Democracy, and the US Constitution, not the Govt., and especially not these Govt . Public Union goons and thugs .!
Their should be mulitple indictments, resignations and impeachments due to this, I am surprised Big Sis has not officially resigned as of yet. This criminal act needs more attention and follow-up by the media. This will be Obama's and Napalitano's biggest nightmare if the MSM run with it (as they should).
Nothing new here about the BATF/FBI. How many Americans did they murder at waco?
When you add more fuel to the fire, it spreads.
Allow more guns into Mexico and the violence will spread.
And guess where it's spreading to. That's correct, America.
With 'Gunwalker' gaining momentum in Congress .....
Is it too early to talk about Pulitzer for the two Mikes!?
Is it no wonder J Rockerfeller wanted to get rid of the internet, but settled instead for using it as a way for domestic spying - spreading the idea WE patriots are the terrorists? They want to keep us in the dark, and if we object, we become targets.
Got something to say?
