This thing has been going on for a while now.
There's Lacey Act which was originally intended to prevent the poaching of wildlife on American land (in the early 1900s). Thanks to radical environmentalists and agitators like Soros, it has been expanded as a way to police global trade in forest goods. The Lacey Act requires a documented chain of possession for anything sold in the US. It also requires US companies to obey local laws (or a US interpretation of those laws, even one that that country might not use). In 2009 Gibson's offices were raided over wood from Madagascar. Gibson filed a lawsuit in protest and as a result was raided again. this time over wood from India. No charges have ever been filed in either of those cases. Each time the government said they were "simply investigating". copy/paste from science20: Quote:

All these problems would all just go away if we would simply increase government regulation and give more power to internal agencies to write "regulations" that are enforced as laws without anyone ever voting on them.....
There is no problem that the government can't fix. .

Seems we need someone to get India to edit some law, or our guys should just chill out a bit.
I would never support seizing end-products from customers who bought them in good faith that they were made and sold in compliance with all applicable laws. That's just BS. I didn't care for how some of the quotes in the article make it seem like it's all motivated by politics either. A second load of BS I'd have to say.

Next point is really simple. Gibson is the most well known guitar maker in the US and perhaps the world. THAT is the reason why they get targetted. Attempting to link targetting with not donating to democrats is more bait. It's trolling for predisposed people.

PR-Tom...when this first happened a year ago there was a story on it on the news here. And the President of Gibson in Nashville, TN flat out said that the union had been threatening them and harassing them and used their influence from campaign contributions in Washington DC to make this happen.
This is a law that was NEVER intended to be used that way. But it's written in such a way that IF you wanted to put the squeeze on someone you could interpret it to do so. And yes, union bosses are pissed at Gibson and want to make an example of them. |

Well, that's why I say they should have cited something. I wouldnt have known any of this precedent stuff.
I wonder if any union or anyone else had comments on what he refers to as threats and harassement? What could that even mean I wonder. Threat and harass are certainly fighting words. I'm sure the president of Gibson is not pleased to be saying them. I think relative to other lobby groups and corporations, Gibson is not very large. It's hard to imagine a gov. risking it's reputation because some union leader gave the signal. Congress could get some people in there to testify if there's corruption of that scale you would think.

I'll be the first to say that if thats the case, they should totally subpeona each person in a position to have such influence immediately. And not later.. right now before the elections. Someone is on that as we speak because they would be some serious corrupt shit.

Yeah, clearly it's Obama's fault because he must have directly ordered the US Fish and Wildlife Service to raid them. Clearly Obama has a beef with them because they are union, not union, or Republican, or maybe Obama just likes Fender guitars.
People are fucking idiots, as if the President of the United States is directly ordering a government agency to raid and anjoy a company. BTW, the Lacey Act of 1900 was last updated in May of 2008 - While Bush was in office.
