File under: You just can't make this stuff up.
From the Nashville Tennessean:
Federal agents are in the process of raiding the offices of the Nashville-based Gibson Guitar Corporation.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents began executing search warrants this morning on guitar factories and corporate headquarters in Nashville and Memphis, according to Nicholas Chavez, special agent in charge with the Fish and Wildlife.
Chavez said the raid included both the corporate headquarters on Park Plus Boulevard and a factory on Elm Hill Pike.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal reported tourists arriving to a Gibson Guitar factory in downtown Memphis this morning to find the doors locked and agents inside.
The Game Warden is raiding a guitar shop!!
Huh??!!
Read on, read on!!
Gibson was also raided in 2009 for possible violations of the Lacey Act, which bans the importation of endangered plants and wildlife. Federal officials seized ebony and other woods they said were prohibited under the act. Gibson has said in the past it was "fully cooperating" with the investigation.
This is about the wood used to build guitars.
This country has been, well, sodomized, by bankers and their lawyers, with the Feds complicit or looking the other way. Our borders are not secure, and that little civil war in Mexico is going make its way to our heartland, sooner or later.
But never fear, ya'll, Da Fedz iz on da JOB! Dey gunna shut down that rogue guitar operashun, and save da Rain Ferest and all of Gaia's little furry friends!
Hope 'n Change, ya'll!
