OBAMA AND HOLDER - GUNRUNNERS?

Don Hank writes:

I had forwarded a link to a video regarding the accusation that the US had been allowing drugs to enter the US in exchange for favors from foreign leaders. I had said I don't know enough to opine. I am, however, getting productive responses from you.
I received one email from someone involved in the resistance movement in Nicaragua, and he says this did not happen, that no links were found between drugs and the US government.
However, with regard to Obama's gun running operation, apparently there is at least one government document -- according to testimony -- stating that drugs were allowed to flow in exchange for cartel cooperation with Operation Fast and Furious. That is stated in an interview with Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America (near the end of the interview):

What’s the “Return” on Your Social Security Taxes?

By Eric Schurenberg | Jan 10, 2011
Whether you believe it or not, Social Security is going to be a part of your future, and when the time comes, you’ll be glad you’ve got it. Yes, our national pension system has some well-known fiscal problems, but Uncle Sam can solve them by any number of bearable cost-cutting and/or tax-raising  solutions before the money runs out. The question remains, though: Is it worth it? Will the benefits you’d receive under current law compensate you for the career’s worth of taxes you’ll have paid into the system? The latest answer, generated by a new Urban Institute Social Security study, is: yes. (Surprised?) As far as it’s possible to project, Social Security and Medicare give you a positive return on your tax “investment” even after inflation.

I see I had 23 page views from Romania in the past week. Welcome, but I have a question. Where is Vlad now that we need him?

Old Jarhead Blog Removed?
For the third Saturday in a row, when readers logged on to my blog at www.tartanmarine.blogspot.com, they got a "blog removed" message with no explanation. Each time I logged on to Blogspot and posted a query and the blog returned in a few hours. They say they have a system for auto removing Spam blogs, but mine has zero advertising, except my books, I kill Spam posts, and it has been up since 2008. I don't know if it is a blogspot glitch, like the way they sometimes change scheduled posts to drafts, or an attack. It is costing me readers--weekly page views dropped in that time from over 4k to about 3k. If you get that message, please try again later. I have filed an appeal—didn’t realize it was necessary, as it had come back. We shall see.
