Gibson CEO speaks out after raid by the Department of Justice

  I wrote yesterday about this disturbing story in which the Obama regime raided Gibson guitar plants for Gibson’s perceived crimes against the environment, but if what Gibson CEO  Henry Juszkiewicz says is true this story is even more disturbing than I first thought. It was reported that the federal government raided these Gibson plants because they thought that Gibson was illegally purchasing wood from protected forests in India, but it turns out that is not the case at all.

  As Bunkerville first pointed out yesterday in this post, the federal government raided Gibson not because they claimed that Gibson violated not any American environmental laws, but rather because they claimed Gibson violated Indian laws.

   Henry Juszkiewicz claims that the notice he received from the federal government stated that he was in violation of Indian law because too much American labor was performed on the wood he received and not enough Indian labor was used in the product before it shipped to his facilities. This is the official position of the United States government according to Mr. Juskiewicz, but apparently this is not the position of the Indian government, which approved the sale of this wood to Gibson as indicated by the fact that Gibson was provided with the proper paperwork from India to verify Juszkiewicz’s claim.

  The United States government is interpreting Indian law differently than India itself is, and one has to wonder what the true motive behind this raid was. According to the interview, which I have included below, there are other guitar companies which are doing exactly the same as is Gibson yet the federal government is only targeting Gibson.

  It is being speculated that this is because Gibson is a non-union shop and it is also being speculated that political donations made by Gibson is the true reason behind this raid. And to be honest, I don’t doubt this in the least because we have already seen the federal government tell a private company–Boeing–that is could not build a facility in a non right to work state.

  If this is true we are entering very scary times; we are witnessing political intimidation at its worst when the federal government raids private factories because these factories do not follow a business model that the regime feels is necessary, or even worse if a private company donates money to the political party that is not in power.

  We are reaching critical mass here and we must reverse this trend and throw off this despot before it is too late.
