Sniper lobbyist hosts Homeland Security Officials
Edited on Tue Jun-14-05 05:56 PM by Jara sang
Links are to article from 2003, not sure of it's reliability.

You come across the strangest things surfing the web. I was looking for Leica dealers in Northern Virginia because I wanted to buy a new pair of binoculars. One of the dealers that came up was the Ashbury International Group. Before I googled, I knew it had military industrial complex written all over it. So what does this group do? Why they deal in death and just like every other group of people in Washington D.C. they lobby the government to promote their agenda, which in my estimation is shear murder. Oh it turns out the groups founder is a neo-confederate too. They manufacture equipment for snipers or murderers I should say, government sanctioned murder, but murder none the less. From an April 8, 2003 article:

The same H Street house is now the site for secret meetings organized by Richard Hines, a sniper equipment lobbyist and a major Bush political contributor who is a confidant of senior White House counsel Karl Rove. Hines, a former official of the General Services Administration during the administration of Bush’s father and the husband of a former White House domestic policy aide, is now a lobbyist for the Ashbury International Group, which markets sniper equipment to U.S. Special Forces.

It get's even better:

The group that meets at the Surratt house is known as the Jefferson Davis Camp No. 305 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Does anybody else find it more than a little strange that a Sons of the Confederacy Chapter meets in the same house used by the group that conspired to assassinate Abraham Lincoln?
