Mark Levin interviewed the CEO of Gibson last night about this government intrusion. The CEO said that they raided every Gibson plant. He said armed men came crashing through the doors with guns drawn, chased all the personal out of the shops and locked them down while they confiscated records, pallets of wood and hard drives. Even though Gibson supplied all documentation proving the woods were obtained legally, the gov agents would not back down. When Gibson stated that they were complying with the laws of the countries that sold the woods, our gov made exception and changed the interpretation of those laws. Yet no other guitar companies were subject to the new interpretations.
Gibson went to court to try to put a hold on these actions as they were shutting down production to a great degree and costing them a lot of money. The government went after the judge and told him they could not hear Gibson's appeal because it might hinder the gov investigation.
As the interview continued the CEO stated that no other guitar company was raided, even though they all bought their wood from the very same suppliers. Gibson was singled out from all the other guitar manufacturers for no apparent reason.
Sounds a lot like a they want to start selling Bomatar Guitars, after all, they are doing so great with gov cars inc.
