NASHVILLE, Tenn.- A shipment of assault rifle ammo from Tennessee has ended up in Mexico and a U.S. truck driver is in a Mexican jail, but his boss insists it was just a wrong turn that landed him there.

*snip*

The driver, Bogan Akeem, is being detained by Mexican authorities. They will decide in the next 48 hours whether to charge him with smuggling.

There's a lot more here than the article let's out. Think Fast and Furious!

From another article, "Boss: Driver took wrong turn into Juárez with load of ammo":

Driver: Bogan Jabin Akeem
Demco Trans. Owner: Dennis Mekenye
US Consulate Officer Confirming Akeem's US Citizenship: Olga Bashbush
From yet another article,"A Kenyan Living The American Dream in Texas "
"...{Dennis} Mekenye is tracking his business in the wee hours of the night, to ensure that operations at his company, Demco Trans Inc, are on track."
Was this more of Fast and Furious, by other means?

Was this a decoy operation (as some suspect the Obama multi-layer internet birth certificate was) to draw off Regime opponents from the crux of Fast and Furious?

I don't know. But I do know it can not be a coincidence!

The driver has been flown to Mexico City so Mekenye had better have good insurance because the truck and ammo are gone no matter what happens to the driver.

Yep, those border crossings are so well hidden almost anyone could make a mistake.

Well, phooey. There goes my attempt at tweaking the MSM on this one. :-)

Thanks for the info, though. I honestly didn’t know those were available.

Whoa! Good find on the link about the truck company owner. Kenyan, huh?

“Fast and Furious” didn’t really come to my mind when I first heard all this. It’s the muslims going through Mexico to cross our border that came to mind immediately. Was this guy hoping to get that ammo to a group of them?

That shipment may well have been meant to go to Phoenix but maybe Akeem had his own plans. Muslims are patient and will wait til the time is right to make a move.

I simply do not trust muslims. They have given me no reason to. And this incident doesn’t pass my smell test.
They might prove me wrong; they might not. We’ll see.

"Fat and Furious" comes to mind for several reasons.

How different would it be for a rogue government Regime to ship guns to Mexican drug gang proven to assist Jihadi terrorists, to also then ship ammo to either the same or terrorist directly?

This (like FnF) is so brazen: A company named DEMco owned by a Kenyan named MeKENYE, hiring foreignors, using a driver with a Muslim name, claiming it's shipping to a company named UNammo in Phoenix, has its shipment of ammo wind up in Mexico.

What would the MSM do to anyone claiming the above facts?

But whether another FnF blackbag op, a Obamanista decoy op, or a Jihadi op, the following is for sure.

You don't go from putting down $18,000 for your 1st truck in 2004 to owning a company with 30 trucks and 80 employees in 2010 (the date of this article) without some help from somewhere. And this a Kenyan, hiring Muslims/foreigners, did during a 6-year period that included the 2007 oil price crisis and the 2008 financial crisis that bankrupted so much of the rest of the trucking industry. The question is whether this help came from US government or foreign/Muslim sources.

CORRECTION:

"government Regime to ship guns" = "government Regime THAT shipS guns"

My thoughts tend towards the jihadi op rather than another F & F type op or Obamanista decoy op, unless this turns put to truly be a wrong turn. I’m not puttin’ my money on that just yet. Too many things add up in the other direction.
I just hope there’s a follow-up on report this; that it doesn’t disappear down the rabbit hole like so many others have.
