More on Fast & Furious, and why you need to understand what's really going on
Added 2/12/12 - Sorry I haven't posted to this blog in over two months. I've had a lot going on lately.
Fast & Furious is by far the most serious scandal that's come out of the Obama administration, because it's been a direct attack on our 2nd Amendment rights. I don't think a lot of Americans have really figured this out yet. But hopefully the article below from HotAir.com will help you to see this. And the criminal intent of Eric Holder, the DOJ, DHS and others. This criminal act can not be allowed to go unpunished.
Sheriff Paul Babeau: Fast and Furious scandal is far from over
posted at 5:15 pm on February 11, 2012 by Tina Korbe
No Fast and Furious fatigue for Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu, who has been on the front lines fighting to tell the truth about the Justice Department’s disastrous program from Day One. The longer the Justice Department stonewalls the congressional investigation into the gunrunning program, the more ardent becomes Babeu’s desire to hold the administration accountable.
“Many of us, including me, feel that whoever made these decisions should be held criminally accountable because people have been murdered,” Babeu told me today. “Our hero in the Border Patrol — Agent Brian Terry — was murdered in my state. Two of the guns that were used to kill him — on the scene — were from Fast and Furious. There’s no accountability; Eric Holder still hasn’t come clean to say who made these decisions and it’s been over a year.”
As tragic as Brian Terry’s death was, it is far from the only casualty associated with Fast and Furious: More than 200 people in Mexico have been killed by drug cartel members with Fast and Furious weapons — and the death count is likely to continue to rise, Babeu said.
“This is a larger scandal than anything like Watergate,” he explained. “Nobody died there. People lied and there was a cover-up. Here, there’s lies and cover-ups and we still don’t have the answers, but people have been killed. Fourteen hundred of these guns are still outstanding; other people will die from actions of Eric Holder and the Department of Justice.”
Those outstanding weapons are untraceable.
“There [are] no tracking devices,” he said. “wWe don’t know who has these weapons now. For years to come, this is going to trickle out; people are going to be killed, crimes are going to be committed. The only way we can confiscate these guns is we raid a drug house and, oh, there’s five guns here and, guess what, they’re connected to Fast and Furious.”
Babeu knows firsthand that Fast and Furious weapons are reappearing in the United States. Three months ago, his agency, along with 21 other law enforcement agencies, busted the Sinaloa drug cartel — the largest bust in Arizona history. In the midst of 76 arrests, the recovery of billions of dollars and the discovery of dozens of weapons, they found two Fast and Furious weapons.
Intentionally arming drug cartels — if that is, in fact, what the Justice Department was doing — does nothing to help U.S.-Mexico relations, Babeu warned.
“We have just armed paramilitary organizations — all these cartels — that are fighting that are at war with Mexico,” he said. “I’m a retired army officer and, in Mexico, for us to do that against a stated ally, that triggers in the Geneva Convention an act of war. This is outrageous. People need to be held accountable for this and we’re getting no answers.”
That the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has no way to trace the weapons lends credence to the theory that the ATF intentionally funneled the firearms to drug cartels as a cover for calls for increased gun control.
“This was one time dismissed as crazy or some wild-eyed right-wing conspiracy that this could be the case,” Babeu said. “There’s no other justification. I’m in the business of clues and evidence; their only defense that they have given is they were tracking these guns and they were going after these big fish. Well, guess what? They weren’t tracking anything. Even in a minor investigation in law enforcement, we’re tracking drugs, we never let it out of our line of sight. We track with surveillance; we have people trail them; we have CIs, criminal informants, that give us information, then we effect an arrest. These are guns. How could anybody in their wildest imagination ever believe that this would end well? It hasn’t — and the end isn’t even here.”
The end might not be here — but the beginning of something else could be. Babeu has cast his lot in the congressional race to represent Arizona’s newly-created fourth district, and he’s presently out-fundraising his competitors and polling well. If he is elected to Congress, he said, Fast and Furious won’t be his only target.
“I will be a part of a chorus of conservatives but one of the strongest voices, not only on these issues, but as a free market guy,” he said. “We’re very rapidly evolving into one of these failed European states. I shall not allow that to be the future of America.”

What Did Congress Know About 'Natural-Born Citizen'? -
8 Tries at Eliminating Requirement Suggests an Organized strategy was in Place
Added 11/3/11 - From an article by WND
There were eight attempts by members of Congress during the years Barack Obama was developing a power base and running for president to remove the Constitution's requirement that a president be a "natural-born citizen," suggesting an organized strategy, according to a new video.
Documentation for Carl Gallups video comes from a variety of congressional records showing that beginning June 11, 2003, and continuing through the most recent effort, Feb. 28, 2008, there were eight proposals targeting that constitutional requirement.
The links and supporting documents spoken of in the video can be found on Carl Gallups Youtube Channel

More on the Fast and Furious Scandal
Added 10/27/11 - I found this letter on one of the gun forums I hang out on. The author posted this draft copy asking members to verify the timeline, before he sent copies of it to his Senators and Representatives in Congress.
I thought it was so well written, I asked for his permission to use it on this blog. If you're not that familar with the truth about the F&F scandal, this should help ...
I am writing to you as a concerned constituent regarding the investigations into the Department of Justice's role in Fast & Furious. While I understand the DOJ is conducting an internal investigation, I am growing increasingly concerned that partisanship is preventing members of congress to take the matter seriously. There is evidence that FEDERAL AGENCIES allowed THOUSANDS of guns to cross our borders into the hands of violent criminal organizations. Federal agents representing our government were arming the narco-terrorists in Mexico. There is evidence that the ATF didn't just know guns were crossing the border, but they ENABLED the straw purchasers to buy weapons after the gun store owners reported the buyers as suspicious enough to refuse the sale. Federal Agents told the gun stores to sell the guns anyways, knowing full well where they were going. These guns have been linked to deadly crime scenes in Mexico and the US. The body count is in the hundreds so far, including murdered American Border Control Agent Brian Terry. There are rumors with supporting evidence that the FBI is more involved in Brian Terry's death than what is being discussed in the media. If you have not taken the time to peruse the Sipsey Street Irregulars blog, it is doing the best job of ANY media outlet on covering Fast & Furious news.
Operation Gunrunner was started in 2006(?) and had law enforcement goals as well as cooperation with Mexican authorities. When guns were allowed to cross the border under Operation Gunrunner, Mexican officials were aware of the operation and it was understood that they would intercept the guns once in Mexican territory. The failure in Gunrunner was the result of the Mexican authorities failing to take care of their side of the cooperative effort. The practice of allowing guns to walk SHOULD have ended there, but it didn't. Mistakes were made and the fault is shared between the our government and Mexico's government.
Fast forward to Operation Fast and Furious. It was started in 2009 and was heavily funded with stimulus money. This new plan appears to use a similar blueprint as Gunrunner, but with a lot more guns and WITHOUT notifying the Mexican government about what was going on. The Mexican government shares no blame this time. They were completely unaware that federal agencies in the US government were still sending guns to violent criminals tearing their country apart, one family at a time. Can you explain to me where the common sense was in this operation? What exactly was the purpose of it, and what was the strategy for recovering the weapons, if there was one? Guns didn't stop flowing from the ATF to the drug cartels until Brian Terry was murdered. Brian Terry was an unarmed federal agent working for Border Control. Perhaps you'd be willing to explain to Brian's family that his death was an accident? That he was merely collateral damage in a federal investigation with no apparent end game strategy, no big deal. WRONG!
I know you are more than capable of understanding the ramifications of this operation. You obviously should be able to understand how the fast & furious operation could create a diplomatic crisis on top of all the dead bodies. The fact that we were arming the narco-terrorists threatening the security and stability of an allied country is insane. Our government is effectively undermining Mexican sovereignty by arming the drug cartels. Is this the kind of "smart diplomacy" we should expect from the Department of Justice, of all places? Wars have been started over less. It IS an act of war when one government arms insurgents destabilizing the government in another country. It doesn't take a foreign policy expert to see that.
Coincidentally, this was all going on as the Obama administration started repeating the artificial statistic that 90% of the weapons in Mexico originate in the US and that our lax gun laws are contributing to the problem. You connect the dots. The DOJ has been in full coverup mode since Brian Terry was murdered. Frankly, I don't think AG Eric Holder can afford for the truth to come out regarding the DOJ's involvement because it could be interpreted as AN ACT OF WAR. Despite the deep corruption in the Mexican government, they can't sit idly by while their citizens are getting slaughtered by guns provided by agencies of the US government.
The biggest problem, in my opinion, is the fact that so many sitting politicians have been COMPLICIT by looking the other way or attempting to use the stage to push stricter gun control laws in the country. How disgusting is that?! Remember, the gun store owners REPORTED the suspected straw purchasers to the ATF on their own, it was their moral responsibility. Had the ATF not intervened on behalf of the criminal buyers, the system would have worked! Using THIS criminal activity, where the government was caught sending guns to Mexico, as an opportunity to punish citizens with stricter gun laws is beyond reprehensible as well as unnecessary. These complicit politicians are downplaying institutionalized criminal behavior where federal employees were blatantly breaking laws with deadly consequences, including the death of an unarmed federal agent. I have a hard time understanding how THIS issue can be a partisan issue, even in this political climate. Why aren't both sides of the aisle lining up to demand answers from AG Holder and the rest of the DOJ? Despite the fact that there is no gray area in what is right and what is wrong in this case, absolutely none, it is still being treated as a Republican vs Democratic issue.
Please, I am urging you, as one of the leaders of the Democratic party, to give your support and help Senator Grassley and Congressman Issa get to the bottom of this criminal behavior in the federal government.
Thank you for taking the time to read this,

The MSM hasn't given this scandal the coverage it deserves. And when they do, the info they provide is often inaccurate, or sometimes blatantly untrue. I just want my readers to know that many of us in the firearms community have been following this story from the very beginning (Dec 2010), right after Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry's death. And that we are very angry about the way this has been handled! It's time for the cover-ups to stop and for the truth to be revealed. As mentioned in the letter above, The Sipsey Street Irregulars Blog is an excellent place to go for daily updated information on F&F.
Until "We the People" become informed about the facts, and demand answers from our Federal Government, this corruption will continue unchecked. We need to hold our government responsible for their criminal activities. Please take the time to learn more about the facts surrounding Fast & Furious, and then contact your representatives in Washington and demand answers. We need to keep the pressure on them, and let them know we are watching. Thanks!
DEFINITIVE PROOF - Obama B/C is FRAUDULENT! Also, the LIES and DECEPTION of FactCheck.org, PolitiFact.com and the Daily Kos EXPOSED!
Added 10/19/11 - Dr. Ron Polland, Phd reconstructed Obama's fraudulent B/C last week, just as he had done with the COLB back in 2008. Through a series of videos, Dr. Polland explains how he did this. But he also reveals, with proof, how factcheck.org, politifact.com and other liberal media outlets DECEIVED the American public during the 2008 controversy over Obama's elegibility.
TheObamaFile.com website has compiled various videos (all by Dr. Ron Polland) on how the MSM mislead the country during the 2008 campaign. The website also shows how Dr. Polland was able to reverse engineer the phony B/C. Honestly, I don't think many people will actually take the time to watch the two hours of videos Dr. Polland has put together about this deception. Sad, as many people will take the time to watch "Dancing with the Stars", "American Idol", or whatever their favorite TV shows are {sigh}. Yet these very same people sit around and wonder why our country is falling apart!
Anyway, here's the link to TheObamaFile website. If you'd like to see how the B/C was reconstructed, you can watch the last four videos (about 42 minutes long). But I'd really encourage everyone to watch the entire series of videos, so you'll be better able to understand how the MSM lies to us, and gets away with it (well, get's away with it with some people) ... but not everyone.
Dr. Polland also wrote a technical paper explaining the B/C fraud, which can be found HERE
The .pdf file is 59 pages long. If you have a strong enough background in Acrobat Reader, Photoshop and Illustrator (all Adobe products), you'll be able to understand exactly how the forger created the phony birth certificate, and why he did it the way he did. Fascinating reading!

Breaking: New Evidence Shows Hillary a Mastermind Behind Gunwalker
Added 10/13/11 - From an article written by Anthony Martin, Conservative Examiner
Last week it was reported that the State Department and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were deeply involved in the scandal known as Operation Fast and Furious, or Project Gunwalker. Today, however, new evidence has surfaced indicating that not only was Hillary deeply involved in the scandal but was one of the masterminds behind it.
According to investigative citizen journalist Mike Vanderboegh, sources close to the development of the Gunwalker scheme state that early on, Hillary and her trusted associated at State, Andrew J. Shapiro, devised at least part of the framework of what would later become Operation Fast and Furious. It was Shapiro who first described the details of the proposed scheme early in 2009 just after the Obama Administration took office.
Vanderboegh relates the following:
My sources say that as Hillary's trusted subordinate, it was Shapiro who first described to the Secretary of State the details of what has become the Gunwalker Scandal. The precise extent to which Hillary Clinton's knowledge of, and responsibility for, the Gunwalker Plot, lies within the memories of these two men, Shapiro and Steinberg, sources say.
The sources also express dismay that the Issa committee is apparently restricting itself to the Department of Justice and not venturing further afield. The House Foreign Affairs Committee, they say, needs to summon these two men and their subordinates -- especially at the Mexico Desk at State -- and question them under oath as to what Hillary Clinton knew about the origins of the Gunwalker Scandal and when she knew it.
There is one other thing those sources agree upon. The CIA, they say, knows "everything" about the "Mexican hat dance" that became the Gunwalker Scandal.
The 'Steinberg' mentioned in the quote above is Hillary Clinton's former Deputy Secretary of State, who was appointed directly by Barack Obama and was considered from the start to be an 'Obama man' whose objective was to carry out the wishes of the President in the State Department.
Hillary had said of Steinberg,
Clinton said Steinberg had been a “fixture” at meetings with the National Security Council (NSC) and frequently represented the US State Department at the White House.
That statement is key. Hillary herself stayed out of all meetings dealing with strategy concerning the euphemism the Administration used to designate Gunwalker, 'strategy meetings on Mexico and the problem of drug and gun trafficking.' Hillary's absence would give the impression that she had no connection to the scheme while making sure that her views were represented by Steinberg and Shapiro, both of whom were fully complicit with the details that developed concerning how to pad statistics on U.S. guns in Mexico.
According to sources, Hillary was obsessed with gun statistics that would prove that '90% of the firearms used by Mexican criminals come from the United States.' As previouly reported, that meme, repeated incessantly by Democratic Senators, Barack Obama, certan members of the ATF, Janet Napolitano, and Hillary Clinton was patently and blatantly false. The fact that they all knew it was false is borne out by the lengths to which each of the above named co-conspirators went to attempt to 'prove' that the 90% figure was true.
Again, Vanderboegh relates the following:
My sources say that this battle of the "statistics" was taken very seriously by all players -- the White House, State and Justice. Yet, WHY was this game of statistics so important to the players? If some weapons from the American civilian market were making it to Mexico into the hand of drug gang killers that was bad enough. What was the importance of insisting that it was 90 percent, 80 percent, or finally 70 percent? Would such statistics make any difference to the law enforcement tactics necessary to curtail them? No.
This statistics mania is similar to the focus on "body counts" in Vietnam. Yet if Vietnam body counts were supposed to be a measure of how we were winning that war, the focus on the 90 percent meme was certainly not designed to be a measure of how we were winning the war against arming the cartels, but rather by what overwhelming standard we were LOSING. Why?
Recall what the whistleblower ATF agents told us right after this scandal broke in the wake of the death of Brian Terry: "ATF source confirms ‘walking’ guns to Mexico to ‘pad’ statistics."
Thus, from the beginning the scheme was to pad statistics on U.S. guns in Mexico in order to be in a strengthened position to call for gun bans and strict gun control at a time when it was politically unpopular. Further, the scheme would involve a made-up statistic, out of thin air--90%--which then had to be proved by using civilian gun retailers along the southern border as unsuspecting pawns to walk U.S. guns into Mexico by ATF agents, straw purchasers, and others with connections to Mexican drug cartels.
And the evidence points to the fact that Hillary Clinton was one of the original Administration officials who was 'in the loop' on the scheme from the very beginning.

The Rise of "The Useful Idiots"
Added 10/11/11 - Actually, they've always been around. They made a very big showing in 2008, when they voted in mass for a man who isn't qualified to hold the office he was elected to. But don't let some pesky little details get in the way of change. Another big showing is what's going on right now with the Occupy Wall Street crowd. The movement is absurd at best, and their demands are idiotic. Sure their emotions are real. But most of these useful idiots don't even understand what it is they are protesting! They are angry (and rightfully so) over the state of our economy. But the so called "rich" are not the problem. The socialist government that's in control of our nation is the problem. The very people these Occupy Wall Street protesters are supporting!
When Lenin started moving his country towards socialism, he used the term "useful idiots" in describing those who unwittingly supported his malignant cause, through their own naive attempts to be seen as a force for good. In reality, they were only digging their own graves, figuratively speaking of course. That is why it's so important for people to understand history. True history, and not the revisionist history that has so long been taught in our public schools and universities. When a nation forgets (or never learned) history, they are bound to repeat it.
The really sad thing is, there is so much evidence of Communism and the destruction it has brought on the nations and people who have fallen prey to it. There is really no reason to ever repeat it, except for those useful idiots who never learned from it the first time (or second, or third, or fourth, etc). It's these useful idiots along with their corrupt, power seeking politicians (whom they support) that are bringing down this nation. Just look at the video below to see what's happening in our country today.

More Obama HYPOCRISY - Obama and the New Black Panthers
Added 10/3/11 - Back during the 2008 Presidential elections, there was a story of voter intimidation in Phily. Two members of the New Black Panthers Party, one wielding a night stick, were standing outside of a polling place intimidating white voters. There's plenty of evidence this occurred, through witness statements, pictures, and quite a few videos. Voter intimidation, especially when conducted with a dangerous weapon, is illegal.
Below is just one of the videos of that event ...
Of course Obama denied any and all involvement with the New Black Panthers Party (NBPP). But there was quite an outcry over this event (and rightfully so). Just watch this video of the same guy w/ the night stick, in another video ...
Yep, you heard correctly. The justice dept did drop all charges against the NBPP. Why? Because Holder said he would not prosecute black men. HUH?!? And of course the mainstream media just let that story fade away ...
J. Christian Adams, the then Department of Justice attorney who was assigned to the case, fought with Eric Holder (his boss) over the case being dismissed. Out of frustration, he turned whistleblower and finally quit his job.
Old news you say? Yep. It happened three years ago. So why am I bringing it up again now? Well, it turns out J. Christian Adams has written a book that was just released today. As Breitbart put it, "The book exposes Obama administration corruption far beyond the Panther dismissal, and reveals how the institutional Left has turned the power of the DOJ into an ideological weapon." Don't even get me started on the corruption within the DOJ under Holder, especially when it comes to the "Fast & Furious" scandal.
Anyway, here's the thing. Remember I said Obama had denied any association with the NBPP. Well, it turns out Mr. Adams found a few old photos from 2007 (that have since been "scrubbed"). The photos are from the event held in Selma, Alabama in March 2007 where Obama not only marched with the New Black Panthers, but also shared the same podium with it's leader!
The third photo (below) is a little grainy as it was captured from a video of the march in Selma ...
Soooo ... we have a president who would like us to believe he's "post racial" (whatever that means), is non-violent, and wants to sing kumbaya with everyone. He totally denied any involvement w/ the NBPP, although we now have photographic proof that was a lie. His own AG (Eric Holder) has said he would not prosecute black men (even though they had overwhelming evidence of the crimes), yet it's Obama's own party that are the ones running around calling the Tea Party racists!
Let me spell it out for you ... H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y. But the sad thing is, that's nothing new for Obama and the Democrats.
Occidental College Transcripts Provides Concrete Evidence to Annul Obama Presidency
Added 10/2/11 - A very interesting article I found from Press Core.ca. Since I don't know anything about this particular website, I normally wouldn't post an article that I couldn't first verify. But since everything they are saying are things I've already vetted, I figured I'd make an exception. Pretty intereting stuf ...
From http://presscore.ca/2011/?p=2929 ...
Occidental College transcripts provides concrete evidence to annul Obama presidency.
Posted by PC Corruption, Latest news, World news Saturday, June 18th, 2011
Registration transcript states ~ Name: Barry Soetoro - Religion: Islam - Nationality: Indonesian
The smoking gun evidence that annuls Obama’s presidency is Obama’s college transcripts regarding his application for and receiving of foreign student aid. Obama’s college transcripts from Occidental College indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school. The transcript from Occidental College shows that Obama (Barry Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship (scholarship) for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program – an international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government. Grants are available for U.S. citizens to go abroad and for non-U.S. citizens with no U.S. permanent residence to come to the U.S. To qualify, for the non-US citizen scholarship to study in the U.S., a student applicant must claim and provide proof of foreign citizenship. This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama’s detractors have been seeking. The United States Constitution requires that Presidents (and Vice Presidents) of the United States be natural born citizens of the United States.
“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”
Obama hasn’t met and doesn’t meet the basic qualifications for the presidency – must be natural born citizen.
Obama has been named in dozens of civil lawsuits alleging he is not eligible to be president, with many filing a criminal complaint alleging the commander-in-chief is a fraud.
Would liberals really try to suspend the 2012 elections?
Added 10/1/11 - As Rush said, if the liberals thought they could get away with it ... and if they knew they'd lose in a landslide ... ABSOLUTELY!
I was actually contemplating this possibility myself a few months ago. I would not put anything past these criminals. That said, do I think they'll really do it? Probably not. But only because I don't see a way they could get away with doing such a thing without risking massive civil unrest and/or rioting, or worse. But the fact that the idea was put out there by a democrat governor (Bev Predue) is scary enough. Of course, afterwards, she claimed she was only joking (yeah, right)!
People, we are living in very strange times. According to the Bible, perilous times! The left wing liberals are showing us their true colors. They are in panic mode because their radical ideology is being rejected by the American people. And they know it. Desperate people will do desperate things. Although I don't think the dems would try to cancel the 2012 elections (only because they know they'd never get away with it) - it does show you how they think! And that should really scare you. If it doesn't, it's time to pull your head out of the sand and look at what's happening in our country right now ... and the world, for that matter.
Anyway, below is an audio file of Rush's comments on this event. Please take the time to listen to it.
Thank You Mike and Dave!

BREAKING NEWS STORY - ATF SELLS WEAPONS DIRECTLY TO MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS
Added 9/26/11 - From FOXNEWS.COM - Not only did U.S. officials approve, allow and assist in the sale of more than 2,000 guns to the Sinaloa cartel -- the federal government used taxpayer money to buy semi-automatic weapons, sold them to criminals and then watched as the guns disappeared.
This disclosure, revealed in documents obtained by Fox News, could undermine the Department of Justice's previous defense that Operation Fast and Furious was a "botched" operation where agents simply "lost track" of weapons as they were transferred from one illegal buyer to another. Instead, it heightens the culpability of the federal government as Mexico, according to sources, has opened two criminal investigations into the operation that flooded their country with illegal weapons.
Operation Fast and Furious began in October 2009. In it, federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives encouraged guns stores to sell weapons to an arms smuggling gang, then watched as the guns crossed the border and were used in crimes. Each month, the agency allowed hundreds of guns to go south, despite opposition from some agents.
All told, the gang spent more than $1.25 million for the illegal guns.
In June 2010, however, the ATF dramatically upped the ante, making the U.S. government the actual "seller" of guns.
According to documents obtained by Fox News, Agent John Dodson was ordered to buy six semi-automatic Draco pistols (as seen in the pic above) -- two of those were purchased at the Lone Wolf gun store in Peoria, Ariz. An unusual sale, Dodson was sent to the store with a letter of approval from David Voth, an ATF group supervisor. (copy of that letter below) ...
Dodson then sold the weapons to known illegal buyers, while fellow agents watched from their cars nearby.
This was not a "buy-bust" or a sting operation, where police sell to a buyer and then arrest them immediately afterward. In this case, agents were "ordered" to let the sale go through and follow the weapons to a stash house.
According to sources directly involved in the case, Dodson felt strongly that the weapons should not be abandoned and the stash house should remain under 24-hour surveillance. However, Voth disagreed and ordered the surveillance team to return to the office. Dodson refused, and for six days in the desert heat kept the house under watch, defying direct orders from Voth.
A week later, a second vehicle showed up to transfer the weapons. Dodson called for an interdiction team to move in, make the arrest and seize the weapons. Voth refused and the guns disappeared with no surveillance.
According to a story posted Sunday on a website dedicated to covering Fast and Furious, Voth gave Dodson the assignment to "dirty him up," since Dodson had become the most vocal critic of the operation.
"I think Dodson demanded the letter from Voth to cover both himself and the FFL (Federal Firearm Licensee). He didn't want to be hung out to dry by Voth," a source told the website "Sipsey Street Irregulars."
Subsequent to this undercover operation, sources told Sipsey: "Dodson just about came apart all over them (his supervisors). In a 'screaming match' that was heard throughout the Phoenix office by many employees, Dodson yelled at Voth and Assistant Special Agent in Charge George Gillett, 'Why not just go direct and empty out the (ATF) arms room?" (to the cartels), or words to that effect.'
After the confrontation, ATF managers transferred Dodson to a more menial job. Months later, after the death of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, Dodson blew the whistle and went public about the federal government's gunrunning operation.

My Thoughts - I am so angry at this new revelation, that if I were to write what I really felt, I'd probably get myself into a lot of trouble! I believe the readers of my website are smart, educated and intelligent people. So I don't think I need to spell it out for anyone. Simply read what's being said in the story and connect the dots yourself. The implications this story has on our federal government under Barak Obama, Eric Holder and others should be very clear.
If you're not aware of the F&F scandal, or have only heard the basic background on this story, please take a moment to look at the Gunrunner/Fast & Furious Resource Guide I have posted at the top of this page. Click the link to get up to speed on just how bad this scandal really is. As others have said, it makes the Watergate Scandal look tame by comparision.
BUSTED! I Turned Myself in to the Authorities Last Night
Added 9/18/11 - Yep, it's true. I finally did the right thing. I reported myself and this website to AttackWatch.com - LOL!
As if this clown hasn't caused enough damage and misery to our country, now he's started another website for his supporters (the million or so people that might still be left) to 'rat' on their neighbors and family members who are "spreading smears and lies about the president". Hmm, sounds very Marxist to me. Isn't this the very same tactic Hitler and Stalin used in obtaining and keeping their power? So much for the Constitution, Bill of Rights and our right to free speech. But when liberals lie and smear with willful and reckless abandon ... there aren't any consequences for them, only approval and praise.
Speaking of lies ... Why is this idiot (criminal) using a SSN that was first issued to a man living in Connecticut? It's certainly a valid question, but one the mainstream media has yet to ask. I guess it's because the MSM is in bed with the Barry Soetoro Administration. They certainly aren't going to shine a negative light on the 'anointed one'. It might make him look bad. Actually, I think he's doing a pretty good job of that on his own!
Anyway, for whatever reason, it seems that many people still don't care that our Clown-in-Chief president has yet to show valid proof of eligibility to hold the office. Or that he's using a fraudulent SSN.
According to an audit report authored by the Office of the Inspector General, Social Security Administration, titled "Effectiveness of Special Indicator Codes on the Social Security Administrations Numident File," dated August 2008, there were 9 special indicator codes as of November 2008:
False Identity
Noncitizen Not in Status
Multiple SSNs with Different Identities
Scrambled Earnings with New SSN Assigned
SSN Obtained Using Fraudulent Documentation
SSN Assignment Based on Harassment/Abuse/Life Endangerment
Fictitious Identity
Fraud – OIG Investigated
Fraud SSN Misuse
"Eight of the Special Indicators have to do with fraud of some kind," Jordan said. "It looks to me like the SSN Obama is using has been flagged with a Special Indicator suggesting fraud."
Please take the time to read this recent article from WND, "E-Verify 'flags' Obama's Social Security Number - System crunches prez's data, determines 'likely fraudulent'". CLICK HERE to see the article.
Here's the SSN Barry's been using for about the last 20 years. According to the Free Republic website (and others) it's only one of as many as sixteen different SSN's this criminal has been known to have used over the years. Google it. And remember, Snopes is operated by a couple of left wing liberal hacks (a husband and wife team). Don't believe what they say about anything political. Instead, look at all the other websites and do your own research.

The TRUTH about the AK47
Added 9/12/11 - The AK47 is chambered for the 7.62x39mm cartridge. A great video on the real difference in power between the AK and some of the popular .30 caliber hunting rounds in use today. As usual, the liberals and the mainstream media are trying to lie to us once again about 'the awesome firepower' of the AK. In this video, you can see with your own eyes what the truth really is.
The Infamous DHS Video
Added 9/12/11 - This is actually the first time I watched it (it was first posted on July 20, 2011). I only made it through the first four minutes. The video made me sick! I had already read about it and knew what kind of garbage and lies it contained. People, listen up. If this does not clearly show the intent of our federal government under Barak "Zero" Obama, nothing else I could say or do will.
Below is the article by Paul Joseph Watson from infowars.com. Yeah, I know, an Alex Jones website. But I do agree with Alex on certain issues (but certainly not all of them). Anyway, I felt the article was very well written, and I would encourage everyone to read it, even if you don't watch the video.
A new promotional video released by the Department of Homeland Security characterizes white middle class Americans as the most likely terrorists, as Big Sis continues its relentless drive to cement the myth that mad bombers are hiding around every corner, when in reality Americans are just as likely to be killed by lightning strikes or peanut allergies.
The video is part of Homeland Security’s $10 million dollar “See Something, Say Something” program that encourages Americans to report “suspicious activity,” which in every case throughout history has been a trait of oppressive, dictatorial regimes.
In the course of the 10 minute clip, a myriad of different behaviors are characterized as terrorism, including opposing surveillance, using a video camera, talking to police officers, wearing hoodies, driving vans, writing on a piece of paper, and using a cell phone recording application.
Despite encouraging viewers not to pay attention to a person’s race in determining whether or not they may be a terrorist, almost all of the scenarios in the clip proceed to portray white people as the most likely terrorists. Bizarrely, nearly every single one of the “patriotic” Americans who reports on their fellow citizen is either black, Asian or Arab. Imagine if the video had portrayed every terrorist as an Arab and every patriotic snoop as white, there’d be an outcry and rightly so, but this strange reversal must have been deliberate on the part of the DHS, but why? Is this merely political correctness taken to the extreme or is something deeper at work?
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the DHS’ own internal documents list predominantly white conservative groups as the most likely terrorists, such as Ron Paul supporters, gun owners, gold bullion enthusiasts, and a myriad of other comparatively banal political interests that are largely the domain of white middle class Americans.
This has little to do with the color of a person’s skin, and everything to do with the fact that white, middle class Americans are the biggest roadblock when it comes to Big Sis expanding its control over every facet of American society.
It’s plain to see that very little of the budget for this video went towards paying for decent actors, but perhaps it’s fitting that the participants were about as believable as Santa and his elves, because the notion that terrorists are hovering around every underground parking lot waiting to blow up federal buildings is demonstrably false.
As Ohio University’s John Mueller has documented, the likelihood of actually being a victim of terrorism is infinitesimally small, and only highlights how such threats are hyperbolically exaggerated for political purposes.
Figures collected by Mueller clearly show that Americans are just as likely to be killed by lightning strikes, accident-causing deer, or severe allergic reactions to peanuts.
But the facts don’t matter for a federal agency whose primary function is to manufacture fear to keep Americans under control and submissive to the fact that their economic futures and their constitutional rights are being torn to shreds by their own government while it points to a contrived outside threat as a convenient distraction.
“At its core, the video is filled with scenes of ordinary citizens spying on each other and alerting the authorities to their compatriots’ suspicious deeds,” writes Simon Black. In my favorite scene, a woman calls the police after snooping over the shoulder of a young man typing away on his smartphone.”
Black notes that such videos are solely aimed at reinforcing ignorance, hate and fear for those who still live in darkness and are completely unaware of the real agenda behind Homeland Security’s “see something, say something” charade.
But what is that agenda?
No matter where you look, from East Germany, to Communist Russia, to Nazi Germany, historically governments who encourage their own citizens to report on each other do so not for any genuine safety concerns or presumed benefits to security, but in order to create an authoritarian police state that coerces the people into policing each other’s behavior and thoughts.
As Robert Gellately of Florida State University has highlighted, Germans under Hitler denounced their neighbors and friends not because they genuinely believed them to be a security threat, but because they expected to selfishly benefit from doing so, both financially, socially and psychologically via a pavlovian need to be rewarded by their masters for their obedience.
At the height of its influence around one in seven of the East German population was an informant for the Stasi. As in Nazi Germany, the creation of an informant system was wholly centered around identifying political dissidents and those with grievances against the state, and had little or nothing to do with genuine security concerns.
This is the kind of society the Department of Homeland Security is, whether deliberately or inadvertently, recreating in 21st century America. It is about as far removed as you can possibly get from the vision the founders of the nation had in mind when they created the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence.
Emphasis added are mine, not the writer's.
Comment by Alex Jones: This DHS video is purposefully designed to transmit fear and hatred of Muslims over to white Americans. Look at the part of the clip where an image of “Jihad Jane” is displayed, the blue eyes are artificially intensified in order to get the message across.
This is about playing minorities off against whites, creating further resentment and suspicion, getting us at each other’s throats just as how different racial groups were set upon each other in Hitler’s Germany to create an environment of fear and distrust, motivating people to inform on each other for the state.
My final thoughts - In remembering 9/11, we must also remember who it was that attacked us. Hint: They weren't white, middle class Americans. By trying to 're-write' history only ten years after that fateful day, I think it's pretty clear what President Zero and his administration is up to. Do not allow them to deceive you.
PERSPECTIVE IS VERY IMPORTANT!
Added 9/11/11 - Sent to me by a friend last night. Very cool ;-)
Gun Control Explained - Too funny ;-)
LOL! Just watched some of the other videos today (9/12) by Battlefield315. A very funny, but accurate potrayal of the liberal mind ;-) Have to agree with the guy who said "liberalism is a mental disorder", but then again, I've known that for quite some time now.
BTW - be sure to watch the "Gun Rights explained to CNN anchor" video. It comes up in the box of other videos, after the original video has been viewed. That guy was great! And yes, I would take another AK in a heartbeat. Afterall, you can never have too many ;-)
The Rush Transcripts
Added 9/8/11 - Well, I couldn't find any audio transcipts from those segments yesterday, although other audio bites are available from yesterday's show. Oh well, the best I can do is post the links to the written transcripts ...
I very much disagreed with him today though, as he was talking about Social Security being a 'ponzi scheme'. I'm not even going to bother getting into all that right now. I usually agree with Rush, but there are certain times (like today) that I totally disagree with him. Maybe I'll address this in the future, and what he is missing by focusing only on economic issues while ignoring things like illegal immigration and second amendment rights.
The SIMPLE Solution to our Nation's Economic Problems
Added 9/7/11 - Have government 'GET OUT OF THE WAY'!
I was listening to Rush this morning (as usual), and thought he really hit the nail on the head with his opening monologue. Then he continued on with his second segment. He was really on a roll today imho. I can not write as well as Rush speaks, so the best thing I can do is simply post his audio of those segments. I should be able to get the copies by tomorrow, and will post them to this blog.
To sum it up, read the first sentence. Have government get out of the way. But he said so much more than that. Please come back tomorrow and listen to the transcripts.
Marxism in America - YOU MUST SEE THIS VIDEO!
Added 9/4/11 - Some great words of wisdom from Retired Lt. (3 star) Gen. W.G. Boykin, who is an amazing man with impeccable credentials as a Special Forces Green Beret and Counterinsurgency and Terrorism expert. This guy knows what he's talking about! EVERYTHING he says in this video is true, and is happening TODAY.
BREAKING NEWS - Fast & Furious Cover-up
Added 9/2/11 - From Fox News, reported by By William La Jeunesse & Laura Prabucki
Published September 02, 2011| FoxNews.com
Evidence Suggests Cover-Up in ATF Scandal, as More Guns Appear at Crime Scenes LINK to Full Story
Just hours after the death of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, federal officials tried to cover up evidence that the gun that killed Terry was one the government intentionally helped sell to the Mexican cartels in a weapons trafficking program known as Operation Fast and Furious.
The revelation comes just days after a huge shake-up of government officials who oversaw the failed anti-gun trafficking program and Congress renewed its demand for more answers.
Also late Thursday, Sen. Charles Grassley's office revealed that 21 more Fast and Furious guns have been found at violent crime scenes in Mexico. That is up from 11 the agency admitted just last month.
"The Justice Department has been less than forthcoming since day one, so the revisions here are hardly surprising, and the numbers will likely rise until the more than 1,000 guns that were allowed to fall into the hands of bad guys are recovered –– most likely years down the road," Grassley said in a statement released Thursday.
"What we’re still waiting for are the answers to the other questions the Attorney General failed to answer per our agreement. The cooperation of the Attorney General and his staff is needed if we’re ever going to get to the bottom of this disastrous policy and help the ATF and the department move forward.”
William La Jeunesse has more on this story, as reported in this video below. Click the pic to see the Fox News Report
Please look at the Gunrunner/Fast & Furious Resource Guide I have on this website, by clicking the link at the top of every page. This scandal is really unbelievable, but has gotten very little coverage in the Mainstream Media until just recently.

The war on Traditional Family Values
Added 9/1/11 - In the story below, the teacher that was suspended has been reinstated. That actually occured the following day. But because of Irene, and other things happening in my life, I didn't have a chance to update this blog until now (I had lost power for a few days and had no internet access).
I'm glad the teacher was promtly reinstated, as he should have been. But that does not take away from the continuing and vicious war the GLBT community has been waging on traditional family values. As a Born-Again believer in Jesus Christ, and God's Word (the Bible), I see this continual attack on our family values as a very serious threat to our way of life. I don't think a lot of Americans truly understand the ramifications that this 'culture wars' shift is having on our country. I stongly believe that our country was founded on the Judeo-Christian values that were held by many of the founding fathers. We invited the God of the Bible to be an integral part of the daily fabric of American Society, and have prospered because of it. Now, because of a small minority of people, we are being told we have to 'embrace' the sin of homosexuality, a sin the Bible refers to as an 'abomination' - "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them" - Lev 20:13. This is just one example where this sin is described as an abomination in Scripture.
If God judged Sodom and Gomorrah for their sins of homosexuality (and also violence), why should we believe He will not judge us for the same? The truth is He will. Our God is a loving God, "who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" - 1 Ti 2:4. He is a patient God, but his patience is not without limits. God can not be mocked, there are consequences for sin (Gal 6:7).
'Teacher of the Year' suspended for Facebook comment
Added 8/22/11 - From "One News Now", a division of the American Family Association -
Florida school suspends 'Teacher of Year' over his support for natural marriage
This kind of flagrant, unconstitutional and unconscionable anti-Christian bigotry must not be allowed to stand.
August 22, 2011
A Florida teacher has been suspended and removed from the classroom in Mount Dora, Florida, for comments made on his Facebook page against homosexual "marriage." Liberty Counsel will be representing the teacher in court.
In response to New York's passage of a same-sex marriage bill, Jerry Buell criticized the new law in a pair of Facebook posts. He wrote, "If they want to call it a union, go ahead. But don't insult a man and woman's marriage by throwing it in the same cesspool of whatever. God will not be mocked. When did this sin become acceptable?"
Just minutes later, he added, "I will never accept it because God will never accept it. Romans chapter one."
This reference to Scripture and man-woman marriage has now been labeled as a "code ethics violation" by school officials.
Mr. Buell is currently subject to an Inquisition-type investigation. The school will not let him back into the classroom, says a school official, "until we do all the interviews and do a thorough job of looking at everything - past or previous writings."
Says Mr. Buell, "It was my own personal comment on my own personal time on my own personal computer in my own personal house, exercising what I believed as a social studies teacher to be my First Amendment rights."
It's worth noting that Florida's constitution prohibits recognition of same-sex marriage, the exact view Mr. Buell supports. In essence, he is now being accused of hate speech for expressing a view enshrined in the state constitution.
Added 8/18/11 - I’m really getting tired of listening to the secular progressive left, and their democrat hacks.
I am not a racist. I judge people by their individual character, their honesty and integrity, realizing that I myself am far from perfect. From God’s perspective I’m a sinner, saved by His Grace. I do not consider myself to be better than anyone else, because I realize that I'm not. But because I disagree with Obama, I must be a racist? No! I disagree with Obama because I find his economic policies idiotic, not because of the color of his skin. I really could care less if he’s black, white, purple, green or whatever. His race makes no difference to me. Nor does it matter to the overwhelming majority of people (well, except the left it seems).
And what’s the deal with the so called ‘white guilt’? God created me as a white male. So why should I feel ‘guilty’ about that? Hint – I don’t. Now, I’m not ‘proud’ of the fact I’m white. Just as I’m not ‘proud’ of the fact I’m Irish. It’s simply who I am. Nothing wrong with that. So please stop telling me I’m a racist and should feel guily about being white. Don’t you people have anything better to do than to be constantly bitching and whining about someone's race? Oh … I hope I didn’t offend you –
Which brings me to my second point. Political Correctness. That I’m not! You know what PC is really about? It’s simply a way of stopping people from expressing the truth about something, under the pretense that what they say (the truth) might ‘offend’ someone. Example. Someone stands up and says he’s ‘offended’ by being told homosexuality is a sin. Well, guess what. It is. Does that really offend you? No, but it certainly doesn’t fit the agenda of the radical homosexual activism we’ve seen in this country the last 25 years. Besides, if done in love, there is absolutely nothing hateful or offensive about it. God tells us we are to stand up for the truth. And the truth is, homosexuality is a sin. You may not believe that, but that’s really between you and God. We are just the messengers. If you have a problem with the message, get angry at God over it, not the people who in love are trying to warn you.
I’m not a terrorist. So why are lib’s calling Tea Party types terrorists and comparing us to Hitler? I dunno. Maybe because they’re insane! I won’t even get into the logic of that line of thinking because, well, there is no logic. The people who see this country heading off a cliff, due to irresponsible government spending, suggesting we might want to consider cutting back our spending to save this country from total bankruptcy, are terrorists? Yeah right. If you really believe that nonsense, I have a bridge I can sell you cheap.
Let’s see. What else? Oh yeah, good old ‘class warfare’. Yep, that’s something they haven’t tried before LOL! Let’s just stir up the old ‘us versus them’ mentality, dividing the country at a time we really need to be coming together. Guys, all this stuff is really getting old. And haven’t you already figured out the generosity of the liberal left? They are mostly tightwads when it comes to parting with any of their own money. But they are really great at spending other people’s money ;-) Yep, the good old American system of wealth redistribution. Or put another way, a great way of destroying free market capitalism.
So to sum it up, what do we have? The race card? Check. PC? Check. Destroying someone’s character through lies and personal attacks (you’re a terrorist)! Check. And good old class warfare. Yep, check on that one too. Hmm … how bout talking about Obama’s record? Oh no, you couldn't do that. Otherwise you'd have to admit how much of a failure his presidency has been. And we’re still less than three years into this disaster. Imagine what the country would look like if he had five more years to destroy our Constitutional Republic? I honestly don’t think we could survive that.
Video: Felonious Munk Rants at Obama to ‘Pay Your %$^#*&@ Bills!’
Added 8/11/11 - I guess it's not just conservatives that are angry at Obama right now. Felonious Munk goes off on Obama in this hilarious video rant. WARNING - Although this version is edited and some of the language has been taken out, it’s still not safe for kids or a family to see. Now that you've been warned, click the video to watch. And remember, this is a guy who liked Obama and voted for him. Wow B, when you, as the first black president, are pissing off the black community in this way, you know you've screwed up big time! As for me though, I never liked you. Not because you're black, but simply because I think you're an idiot. Seems as though Felonious Munk might be coming to that same conclusion ;-)
Thank you Mr. President!
Thank you President Obama. You are the first American president to preside over the decline of our AAA credit rating. Yet you are completely unwilling to take any responsibility for this. Instead, you continue to blame others. You have blamed the Tea Party, Conservatives, Republicans, the S&P, other credit ratings bureaus, along with just about everyone else.
I am reminded of the words of Lou Pritchett, written in his "open letter" a few years ago. “You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others” (his open letter is posted below this article).
The truth is, you scare me because I know this is all part of your ‘Hope & Change’ agenda, which was never anything more than liberal speak for a change to Socialism. I guess you truly do fail to understand the concept of American Exceptionalism. We as a nation will never except socialism, because we are a free nation and have always been free. Our Constitution guarantees us this freedom, a freedom that has been endowed by our Creator. A Creator I must add, you do not believe in, and mock every chance you get.
I will admit Mr. President, you have been doing a great job of destroying our country. But I know more and more Americans are finally starting to see the hatred you have for our country and our Constitution, and your hatred of our personal freedoms that you are so desperately trying to take away from us. You are a liar, and there is no truth in you. You oppose Almighty God, the Lord and Savior of this world. The same God our founding fathers looked to for wisdom and guidance while building the greatest country the world has ever seen.
Your hypocrisy stands before all to see Mr. President. You want us to believe you are fiscally responsible. You want us to believe you are looking for ways to cut spending. You want us to believe you are trying to do the right thing for this country and its people. Yet your policies are doing the exact opposite. You refuse to change your course of action. You refuse to look at any plans or ideas others may have. You would like the American People to believe that none of the fiscal problems we are facing today, the staggering unemployment numbers, anemic GDP growth, high inflation, continued recession or anything else this economy is suffering through, is in anyway your fault.
You would love to see Capitalism fail. You would love nothing more than to see our Constitutional Republic replaced with some form of Socialism, be it Marxism or Communism. You want to see the government prosper while destroying the private sector. You want power and control over every aspect of our daily lives. And it seems as though you will stop at nothing to bring us to that end.
And for that Mr. Obama, I salute you.

The "Open Letter" by Lou Pritchett, written almost three years ago. Please take the time to read it too. Think about what he's saying, and look at what's going on today. Scary, isn't it? So how's that 'Hopey Changy' thing working out for ya?
AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA - by Lou Pritchett
You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.
You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.
You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.
You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.
You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.
You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.
You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.
You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America' crowd
and deliver this message abroad.
You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.
You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.
You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.
You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.
You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.
You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.
You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.
You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.
You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.
You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.
You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.
Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.
Lou Pritchett
Lou Pritchett is a former vice president of Procter & Gamble whose career at that company spanned 36 years before his retirement in 1989, and he is the author of the 1995 business book, Stop Paddling & Start Rocking the Boat.
Mr. Pritchett confirmed that he was indeed the author of the much-circulated "open letter." “I did write the 'you scare me' letter. I sent it to the NY Times but they never acknowledged or published it. However, it hit the internet and according to the ‘experts’ has had over 500,000 hits.
I am writing to you as a concerned constituent regarding the investigations into the Department of Justice's role in Fast & Furious. While I understand the DOJ is conducting an internal investigation, I am growing increasingly concerned that partisanship is preventing members of congress to take the matter seriously. There is evidence that FEDERAL AGENCIES allowed THOUSANDS of guns to cross our borders into the hands of violent criminal organizations. Federal agents representing our government were arming the narco-terrorists in Mexico. There is evidence that the ATF didn't just know guns were crossing the border, but they ENABLED the straw purchasers to buy weapons after the gun store owners reported the buyers as suspicious enough to refuse the sale. Federal Agents told the gun stores to sell the guns anyways, knowing full well where they were going. These guns have been linked to deadly crime scenes in Mexico and the US. The body count is in the hundreds so far, including murdered American Border Control Agent Brian Terry. There are rumors with supporting evidence that the FBI is more involved in Brian Terry's death than what is being discussed in the media. If you have not taken the time to peruse the Sipsey Street Irregulars blog, it is doing the best job of ANY media outlet on covering Fast & Furious news. 
The biggest problem, in my opinion, is the fact that so many sitting politicians have been COMPLICIT by looking the other way or attempting to use the stage to push stricter gun control laws in the country. How disgusting is that?! Remember, the gun store owners REPORTED the suspected straw purchasers to the ATF on their own, it was their moral responsibility. Had the ATF not intervened on behalf of the criminal buyers, the system would have worked! Using THIS criminal activity, where the government was caught sending guns to Mexico, as an opportunity to punish citizens with stricter gun laws is beyond reprehensible as well as unnecessary. These complicit politicians are downplaying institutionalized criminal behavior where federal employees were blatantly breaking laws with deadly consequences, including the death of an unarmed federal agent. I have a hard time understanding how THIS issue can be a partisan issue, even in this political climate. Why aren't both sides of the aisle lining up to demand answers from AG Holder and the rest of the DOJ? Despite the fact that there is no gray area in what is right and what is wrong in this case, absolutely none, it is still being treated as a Republican vs Democratic issue. 
Last week it was reported that the State Department and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were deeply involved in the scandal known as Operation Fast and Furious, or Project Gunwalker. Today, however, new evidence has surfaced indicating that not only was Hillary deeply involved in the scandal but was one of the masterminds behind it. 
From FOXNEWS.COM - Not only did U.S. officials approve, allow and assist in the sale of more than 2,000 guns to the Sinaloa cartel -- the federal government used taxpayer money to buy semi-automatic weapons, sold them to criminals and then watched as the guns disappeared.
