From the Congressional House record: 'But Mr. Speaker, that is not all. Last year, it was Cosco that delivered to the State of California 2,000 AK–47’s. The company that builds the AK–47’s, the company that negotiates the trade of AK–47’s around the world, the company Cosco, all set up by the PRC, the People’s
Republic of China, their CEO is Communist China, all owned and coordinated and controlled by Communist China. Yet, they delivered over 2,000 AK–47’s into our country, with the intent of selling these arms to
our inner cities to disrupt, to disrupt our inner cities, and disrupt our political environment within the United States of America. At the same time, the Clinton White House accepted both Cosco and the gunrunners themselves in a White House coffee. I will later show the direct tie between the $366,000 that was conducted to the DNC by the White House recipients and Chinese investors
to allow Cosco to gain this favored status'...
http://bulk.resource.org/gpo.gov/record/1997/1997_H01534.pdfThank you for that link. It's pretty much the way I understood it when it occurred. As unfathomable as it seems that our government would allow a hostile nation try to start an armed insurgency in this country, it's even more unfathomable that many in our government actually profited from it.
With regard to the phony issue our government is contriving to further their objective to end private ownership of firearms (for the most humanitarian, altruistic reasons of course), this serves as good evidence that the armaments used by these huge criminal organizations are much more likely to be obtained from the international arms market, and by meddling foriegn governments. I'm sure that it didn't escape your notice that Russia has shipped a huge number of small arms to Hugo Chavez. I'd be amazed if some of those weapons were not siphoned off into Mexico.
