Something tells me this will go all the way to the top.

We have ATF agents and Drug Warlords that both say US Federal Government was selling weapons to them. At the very same time the Federal Government was saying that this is happening, but failed to mention it was because of them.

We have dead people because of it. It’s crime plain and simple and now it’s trying to be covered up at the top. This needs to be investigated all the way to the top.

“It’s the height of hypocrisy,” said Lamar Smith

Just another day screwing the Republic for the Obama administration and its agenda.

The hubris is mind blowing. The Obama Administration is simply forging ahead with their gun grabbing plans as if they never got caught allowing these straw purchases.

"Yeah...you caught us. So what? Gimme that AR-15. We're from the Government. It's for your own safety."

what is even more shocking is that our so called representatives in congress are allowing it all to take place.

A very important logistical component of this operation was the believe of the Obama admin that DEATH —probably on a large scale— would eventuate.

Turn THAT over in your mind and what it says about the values of the people who used YOUR money to permit this. What things might they NOT be willing to do..?

Also, it appears that a part of Operation Castaway in Honduras had the FOREIGN POLICY objective of punishing the new Honduran Prez via creation of a new, de-facto narcoMarxist army there.

A likely secondary aim of Castaway; the new Honduran admin there would be embattled with completely new levels of violence from US guns, and would complain to the UN, which would then demand that the US sign the UN charter on small-arms trade.

So:

1. A Honduran Obama enemy would be punished
2. US gun-owners would lose their rights
3. Obama could cast himself as simply bowing to foreign pressure

ALL THAT WAS REQUIRED WAS FOR A BUNCH OF FOLKS TO DIE

A leftist will always accuse YOU of the thing they’re about to do —”Bush lied and people died...”

Where is Drudge and Breitbart on all this? This is bigger than Monica...

Finished cocaine is bought by Mexies for $3,000 per key, while unprocessed BASE is just $1,000. How might Mexies TRIPLE their profits with about the same risk? A bit like the oil industry; by moving upstream and also owning the mechanism for processing cocaine base in central America.

Docs related to F&F and Castaway show an interesting confluence of Mexy narco financial interests with Obama political interests:

Mexicans wanted a Honduran operating environment permitting for their own cocaine processing there, further south to the source of the product. This would permit Mexicans to bypass middlemen, collecting the profits these others had enjoyed to that point.

Meanwhile, via arms sales to these dangerous Mexican criminals, Obama would win its own new friends in Central America. As a topper, in the process he would also end up disallowing easy gun sales to law-abiding Americans —call it the Chicago-ization of the whole USA.

Note that more and more docs uncovered refer to “DEA, ATF **AND OTHER AGENCIES” —so this imbroglio clearly had SECRET FOREIGN POLICY OBJECTIVES.

2. US gun-owners would lose their rights

I gotta say...that's not possible. US gun owners can be enjoined by a repressive government from exercising their God given rights. But pukes like Obama can't cause us to lose them.

Semantics? Perhaps. But it is a distinction that will be made very clear to anyone who knocks on my door trying to confiscate my firearms.

Obama sold guns to the Mexicans.

The Americans caught him.

Now Americans have to report to Obama when they sell guns to Americans.

Am I following this right?

"...so now they (0bama) insist that the FFLs [federal firearms licenesses] who previously tried voluntarily to help them, (and were told by ATF to make the sales) now must help them."

Even worse then that. They have armed the Mexican War Lords to the teeth with military class weaponry, and after getting caught they still refuse to admit the border needs to be locked down, and they refuse to go after the guns they gave to the war lords. DC is conducting a war against citizens of Mexico and citizens of the United States. The reason is that DC is working for foreign globalist interests. For example - Our Current President was not even born here. And they are now demanding a QE3 so they can bail out their Socialists Euro Globalists friends (Italians, Greeks and Portuguese). Who cares that it is currently physically impossible for American citizens to pay that debt off.
