Federal gun regulator accused of damaging Metairie hotel room

By Michelle Hunter, The Times-Picayune

December 08, 2009, 7:10PM
An employee of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was arrested on charges of disabling the fire alarm system and damaging property in his Metairie hotel room, according to a Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office arrest report.

Russell Vanderwerf, 44, of Houston was booked Dec. 1 with simple criminal damage valued at $500 to $5,000 and interfering with fire prevention after staffers at the Residence Inn, 3 Galleria Blvd., began investigating a malfunctioning fire alarm system, the arrest report said.A technician who was summoned Nov. 30 tracked the alarm problem to the second-floor room registered to Vanderwerf, the arrest report said. Inside, staffers found the smoke detectors in the bedroom and kitchen-den had been removed and the horn that blares alarms was hanging out of the wall.
But the staffers and a deputy sheriff also discovered that someone had removed the bedroom door from its hinges and replaced it with a 5-by-4-foot piece of plywood affixed to the frame and the drywall with hinges and screws, the arrest report said. The door had two locks attached from the bedroom side and a circular hole padded with duct tape. The deputy noted in the arrest report that the hole appeared to be used “in some sort of sexual act.”
A front-desk staffer told authorities that she’d received a complaint from a hotel guest who said the door to that room had been propped open on the night of Nov. 30 and that she noticed several “young men” entering and exiting. The guest also complained of hearing “sex noises” coming from the room, the arrest report said.
Vanderwerf was taken into custody at ATF’s New Orleans area field office, located at 1 Galleria Blvd. across the street from the hotel, the report said.
When questioned about the damage, Vanderwerf admitted to disabling the smoke detectors because he said they were repeatedly triggered by steam from his shower, the report said. He also admitted to putting up the plywood door but would give not other details.
The arrest report said hotel staffers found paint and caulk in the room, suggesting he might have intended to fix the damage himself.
The Sheriff’s Office would not comment on the case Tuesday. Col. John Fortunato, spokesman for the agency, said the matter remained under investigation.
Vanderwerf was released from the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center on Dec. 2 on a $4,000 bond. He could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
He serves as the director of industry operations for ATF’s Houston field office. The industry operations division is the regulatory arm of the agency, responsible for overseeing the inspection of all federal gun and explosives licensees, said ATF spokesman Drew Wade. He confirmed that Vanderwerf was in the New Orleans area on official business.
“We are aware of the arrest by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office,” said Wade, who added that he could not discuss anything that could be connected to a continuing investigation.

Geithner: bailout program extended to October (AP) / Audit: Taxpayers lose $61B on AIG, auto bailouts (AP)

Timothy F. Geithner - treasury secretary
“…Geithner’s paternal grandfather, Paul Herman Geithner (1902–1972), emigrated with his parents from the German town of Zeulenroda-Triebes to Philadelphia in 1908. His father, Peter F. Geithner, was the director of the Asia program at the Ford Foundation in New York in the 1990s. During the early 1980s, Peter Geithner oversaw the Ford Foundation’s microfinance programs in Indonesia being developed by Ann Dunham, President Barack Obama’s mother, and they met in person at least once.
Geithner worked for Kissinger Associates in Washington for three years and then joined the International Affairs division of the U.S. Treasury Department in 1988. He went on to serve as an attaché at the Embassy of the United States in Tokyo. He was deputy assistant secretary for international monetary and financial policy (1995–1996), senior deputy assistant secretary for international affairs (1996-1997), assistant secretary for international affairs (1997–1998).
He was Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs (1998–2001) under Treasury Secretaries Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers. Summers was his mentor, but other sources call him a Rubin protégé. / In 2002 he left the Treasury to join the Council on Foreign Relations as a Senior Fellow in the International Economics department. He was director of the Policy Development and Review Department (2001-2003) at the International Monetary Fund. / In October 2003 at age 42, he was named president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. …Once at the New York Fed, he became Vice Chairman of the Federal Open Market Committee component. In 2006, he also became a member of the Washington-based financial advisory body, the Group of Thirty.
In March 2008, he arranged the rescue and sale of Bear Stearns; in the same year, he played a pivotal role in both the decision to bail out AIG as well as the government decision not to save Lehman Brothers from bankruptcy, though claims were made after Geithner’s nomination that distanced him from both AIG and Lehman Brothers. As a Treasury official, he helped manage multiple international crises of the 1990s in Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea and Thailand.

On 10/27/09 it was reported by Bloomberg news that while acting as president of the New York Federal Reserve Tim Geithner arranged for Goldman Sachs, Société Générale, and Deutsche Bank to receive full payment on credit default swaps they had purchased rather than 40 cents on the dollar insurance giant AIG proposed. A Fed-run entity called Maiden Lane III was used to shunt these CDOs, which cost American tax payers at least $13 billion dollars at the time. It is currently estimated that due to a decline in value, the total costs for this bank favoritism case cost the American tax payers $35.6 billion total. To quote Bloomberg: “the deal contributed to the more than $14 billion that over 18 months was handed to Goldman Sachs, whose former chairman, Stephen Friedman, was chairman of the board of directors of the New York Fed when the decision was made.”
…his parents’ summer home in East Orleans, Mass. …(and) prior to assuming his post with the Obama Administration, according to records Geithner and his wife purchased a five bedroom house near leafy Larchmont for $1.602 million in 2004, and in 2009 he tried to sell his home for $1.635 million after the U.S. real estate market collapse. After being on the market for months the price of the home was reduced to $1.575 million. After further lack of interest the home was rented for $7,500 On May 21, 2009 according to Scott Stiefrater of Stiefrater Real Estate and Debbie Meiliken of Keller Williams Realty, New York.

Neal S. Wolin - deputy treasury secretary
…spent six years in the Clinton administration as deputy counsel and general counsel at the Treasury. Wolin has also served in various other government positions, including stints at the National Security Council (NSC) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Wolin has already worked in the Obama administration as the White House deputy counsel for economic policy and deputy assistant to the president.
In 1999, Wolin supervised a team of Treasury lawyers that drafted a version of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) Financial Modernization Act that allowed banks, insurance companies and brokerage firms to merge. Economists largely agree that while the merger may not have directly led to the current recession, it opened the door to the creation of large financial institutions. Some of these institutions have been deemed “too big to fail” because of the gigantic ripple effect that would create on the global economy.

Gene Sperling – Adviser to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner
A former Clinton economic aide and National Economic Council director…
While working for Dukakis, Sperling had worked closely with economic gurus Lawrence Summers, Robert Rubin and Reich. They recommended him to Bill Clinton, who brought him aboard his 1992 presidential campaign as director of economic policy. When Clinton won, Sperling joined the White House as the deputy director of the National Economic Council (NEC). Three years later, he jumped to NEC director after his boss, Rubin, moved to the Treasury.
Sperling was one of the few administration officials who lasted all eight years of the Clinton administration. After George W. Bush took office in 2000, Sperling left for various think-tanks like the Brookings Institution and the Council on Foreign Relations.
In 1999, Sperling spent time in China attempting to negotiate a deal allowing foreign firms to gain up to a 50 percent stake in Chinese telecommunication firms. In return, China would be allowed to join the World Trade Organization (WTO). Sperling worked closely with Clinton Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky in all-night discussions with Chinese officials that eventually led to China’s admission into the WTO in December 2001.

…The administration has also increased spending to level not seen since the Korean War. In August 2009, the OMB released its mid-session review of the budget, which revised its ten-year deficit estimate. The 2009 federal deficit estimate improved slightly to $1.6 trillion, due to an unexpected decrease in spending to stabilize the financial system. But the ten year deficit estimate increased by $2 trillion to $9 trillion, meaning the national debt would reach $23 trillion by 2019.

COPENHAGEN – The largest and most important U.N. “climate change” conference in history opened Monday, with organizers warning diplomats from 192 nations that this could be the last, best chance for a deal to protect the world from calamitous “global warming”.
….
In a signal the Obama administration is prepared to act without congressional action, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said it has concluded that greenhouse gases are endangering Americans’ health and must be regulated.
….
At stake is a deal that aims to … transfer hundreds of billions of dollars from rich to poor countries every year over decades to help them adapt to “climate change”.
….
American business groups have strongly argued against tackling “global warming” through the Clean Air Act, saying it is less flexible and more costly than the bill being considered before Congress. On Monday, some of those groups questioned the timing of the EPA announcement, calling it political.
Climate activists in Copenhagen said the decision could help the Obama administration move ahead on climate policy without waiting for action from Congress.
—–
AP – The Environmental Protection Agency took a major step Monday toward regulating greenhouses gases, concluding that climate changing pollution threatens the public health and the environment.
….
The action by the EPA, which has been anticipated for months, clearly was timed to add to the momentum toward some sort of agreement on climate change at the Copenhagen conference and try to push Congress to approve climate legislation.
“This is a clear message to Copenhagen of the Obama administration’s commitments to address global ‘climate change’,” said Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., lead author of a climate bill before the Senate. “The message to Congress is crystal clear: get moving.”
….
“The implications of today’s action by EPA are far-reaching…individual Americans and consumers and businesses alike will be dramatically affected by this decision,” said Charles T. Drevna, the president of the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association. Drevna, in a statement, said “it is hardly the time to risk the remainder of the U.S. industrial sector in an attempt to achieve a short-term international public relations victory.”

Obama’s Science Czar John Holdren Considered Putting Sterilants in Our Drinking Water, by Van Helsing
To undermine the balance of powers that guard against tyranny, Comrade Obama has been appointing “Czars” who do not have to answer to Congress. To get an idea of the brand of apparatchik that gets appointed Czar by our Community Activist in Chief, let’s review the opinions of the new Science Czar, John Holdren. Below are a few quotations from Ecoscience, which he coauthored with Paul and Anne Ehrlich, via Zombietime:
On forced abortions:
Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.
On government confiscation of babies:
One way to carry out this disapproval might be to insist that all illegitimate babies be put up for adoption — especially those born to minors, who generally are not capable of caring properly for a child alone. … It would even be possible to require pregnant single women to marry or have abortions, perhaps as an alternative to placement for adoption, depending on the society.
On targeted involuntary sterilization:
The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births.
On mass involuntary sterilization:
Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock.
We wouldn’t want livestock to be affected while we’re snuffing out the human race. What would PETA say?
On government dictating family size:
In today’s world, however, the number of children in a family is a matter of profound public concern. The law regulates other highly personal matters. For example, no one may lawfully have more than one spouse at a time. Why should the law not be able to prevent a person from having more than two children?
Don’t want to kill your baby? Then you’re a racist:
Another related issue that seems to encourage a pronatalist attitude in many people is the question of the differential reproduction of social or ethnic groups. Many people seem to be possessed by fear that their group may be outbred by other groups. … Obviously, if everyone tries to outbreed everyone else, the result will be catastrophe for all.
On the ultimate liberal dream — a planetary totalitarian state:
Perhaps those agencies, combined with UNEP and the United Nations population agencies, might eventually be developed into a Planetary Regime — sort of an international superagency for population, resources, and environment. Such a comprehensive Planetary Regime could control the development, administration, conservation, and distribution of all natural resources, renewable or nonrenewable…
The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries’ shares within their regional limits.
On surrendering national sovereignty to the international Gestapo:
If this could be accomplished, security might be provided by an armed international organization, a global analogue of a police force. Many people have recognized this as a goal, but the way to reach it remains obscure in a world where factionalism seems, if anything, to be increasing. The first step necessarily involves partial surrender of sovereignty to an international organization.
Other progressives brought hell to earth in Germany, Russia, and China. But radical environmentalism has laid the groundwork for nightmarish extremes of totalitarianism undreamt of by Hitler, Stalin, or Mao.
Satanic freaks like Holdren are now running the USA. It would be impossible to overstate the danger we face.

Obama’s Science Advisor John Holdren, described as dangerously out-of-touch by http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/17/horrid-dr-holdren/
Writing in Scientific American, he said, “the ongoing disruption of the earth’s climate by man-made greenhouse gases is already well beyond dangerous and is careening toward completely unmanageable.”
Virtually no climate scientist believes that “man-made greenhouse gases” have anything to do with “global warming” because (a) there is no global warming and (b) greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide play no role whatever in climate change.
On July 13, the Space and Science Research Center called for the firing of Dr. Holdren and of NOAA administrator, Dr. Jane Lubchenko, while denouncing the Cap-and-Trade act, more formally and, in a spectacular act of mass deception, named the American Clean Energy and Security Act.
“These two individuals,” said the Center, “and other agency heads orchestrated and then signed off on the recently released government report, ‘Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States.’ This report was a piece of blatant, politically motivated bad science and pure propaganda intended to reinforce the ‘big lie’ that global warming is still a threat to the planet.”
Meanwhile, over at the Environmental Protection Agency, a 37-year employee and analyst who offered a report seriously challenging the accuracy of global warming data found himself literally silenced and then alleged to be mentally unstable.
The Environmental advisor at the White House is Carol Browner, a former EPA Director during the Clinton years, close friend of Al Gore, and someone who shares his radical views on the environment and global warming. She answers to no one, not even the White House press corps who has not been able to get a word out of her. For all we know she is in her office assaying chicken entrails and shiny stones to come up with more environmental advice for the President.
Did I mention that the Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu, thinks we can save ourselves from global warming by painting the roofs of our buildings white?
There must surely be a few sane people among the mounting number of “czars”, advisors, and assistants, but so far the results of their accumulated advice have been frightening. [end excerpt]
From news earlier this year in April of 2009:
“…Holdren also served as co-chair of the National Commission on Energy Policy, president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science—which is the world’s largest general science community—and has been a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the Council on Foreign Relations, and a host of other prestigious policy-building and scholarly groups.” Spouse: Cheri
