Henry Juszkiewicz, Chairman and CEO of Gibson Guitar Corp., has responded to the August 24 raid of Gibson facilities in Nashville and Memphis by the Federal Government. In a press release, Juszkiewicz said: "Gibson is innocent and will fight to protect its rights. Gibson has complied with foreign laws and believes it is innocent of ANY wrong doing. We will fight aggressively to prove our innocence."

Media from around the world picked up on Thursday's press conference in which Gibson Guitar Chairman and CEO Henry Juszkiewicz spoke out defiantly against recent federal raids at Gibson's Memphis and Nashville facilities.

Juszkiewicz said at the press conference outside the Gibson USA factory in Nashville:

"We believe the arrogance of federal power is impacting me personally, our company personally and the employees here in Tennessee, and it's just plain wrong."

Today, Juszkiewicz said that he was, "very gratified at the media's overwhelmingly supportive coverage of the issue this week and especially encouraged by the huge number of positive comments on various social media platforms."

He also added, noting the volume of attention the story has received, "perhaps our good friends in the media can use their investigative skills to help us to get the bottom of exactly why the government has singled out Gibson for harassment."

@CrazyDiamond1968 Yes they got SWAT TEAMED and it is not the first time the government is out of control. They also SWAT TEAMED Amish people for the crime of selling RAW MILK! The US has turned into a fascist dictatorship, because the public doesn't stand up against tyranny. I love the real US Patriots like Alex Jones. Thanks to types like him things can be turned around. “The amount of tyranny you get, is the exact amount you put up with.” Thomas Jefferson. When is enough enough?

Henry J is a "Harvard Boy" and knows "Spin"..True..He has donated to good causes, but that is about PR..All companies do this..He would like to rally everyone for support and have you believe Rock & Roll itself is under attack by the government..He has a "Tea-Bagger Mentality"..Illegally harvested wood is just that..He needs to polish his business ethics and follow regulation..They exist for a reason..I love playing guitar too..but the environment is important..As artist we should respect that.

Good in a bad situation? There are more people awake because of this. Hopefully every person that was there that day is going 'WTF is going on in this country?!' and starting to pay attention.

To the employees of Gibson: Welcome. Now lock and load; we haven't seen anything yet!!

If this incident does not open the eyes of Obamabots to the reality that our President is totally sold out to the globalists who are hell bent upon the complete Deindustrialization than nothing will.

The Atlantic ran an article about the Gibson Guitar Raid titled:

"How to turn a Musician into a Tea Partier"

The globalists could care less about American Jobs, unless they are part of the massive scheme to exploit US Prison Inmates for 25 cents/hr. to make SWAT Team Gear with "Made in USA label

Alex's right eye is shapeshifting like the fox news "reporters".

LOVE YOU ALL

@CrazyDiamond1968 O.k. so where's the proof? It's not anywhere I've seen. And why would they interigate the employees that have nothing to do with the purchase of raw materials? Why can't they fight it out in court? Did you even listen to this before calling it BS. If India sold it to them, they should be able to work it the way they see fit or stop selling it.
