Gangster Government, and Sakharov’s Immunity
Matthew Bracken, February 29, 2012
For over a year now, the Department of Justice has been stone-walling the House committees investigating Operation Fast And Furious, wherein thousands of semi-automatic rifles (”assault rifles” in the liberal lexicon) were deliberately allowed to “walk” into Mexico, straight into the hands of drug cartel killers. One of those weapons was used to murder Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry a dozen miles inside of U.S. territory.
The actual killer is believed to be an FBI “informant.” In other words, a cartel assassin in his own right, but also a valuable “asset” in the FBI’s consideration. The FBI and DOJ have been shielding this killer, while obstructing the delivery of justice to the Brian Terry family. On the other side of the border, ICE Agent Jaime Zapata was also murdered with a “gun-walked” weapon, along with over three-hundred innocent Mexican citizens as of this date.
And where is the elite Mainstream Media in its coverage of this festering scandal of such epic proportions? Over the past year they have dedicated scant minutes to the scandal, and then, usually to parrot the Obama administration’s lies and obfuscations. Just during one recent week, the elite media spent countless hours covering the death and funeral of a beloved celebrity drug addict, compared to the few minutes they have spent covering Operation Fast And Furious during all of the last year.
Under Operation Fast And Furious, and related DOJ-ATF gun-walking schemes in at least five states, there was no plan or means to track the weapons after their sale. Licensed gun dealers were coerced by the BATFE into making repeated bulk sales, even when they expressed grave concern about the persons buying the weapons, including known felons. Federal cash was provided to the straw purchasers when they did not have their own money.
As conceived and carried out, the intended purpose of Operation Fast and Furious was to rack up a bloody body count in Mexico, in order to discredit the Right to Keep and Bear Arms as spelled out in the Second Amendment of the Constitution. The murdered Mexicans were intended to buttress the false claim that ninety percent of the weapons recovered in Mexico after gangland shootings came from American gun dealers.
In short, the Obama administration conducted a program of mass murder for political purposes. Or, as President Obama put it to Sarah Brady, he was still pursuing a gun control agenda, but “under the radar.” It is hard to conceive of a federal “law enforcement operation” [sic] more evil from top to bottom than Operation Fast And Furious.

Losing hope that ANYTHING is gonna change. Ping.
“haven’t had enough snow to justify it”.
Just damn.
Last year in Houghton the snow was deep, couple years before that we went to a place called diamond Lake resort right near Crater Lake, Oregon and again the snow was measured in the humdreds of inches.
We go from Monday to Saturday and are alone for the most part on the trails.
Just waited and waited for snow this year and it just didn’t show./
“how will Grassley and Issa respond to this literal ‘eff u’ from the criminal defense attorneys ???”
Rumor has it that Boehner is stalling Issa. I don’t doubt that for one minite. Boehner, through his ters, denies it.
Career politicians are the reason the GOPe is in power.
“I guess once you violate the Supreme Law of the Land, violating the Rights of the individual just becomes second nature.”
So it would seem
It sure does seem sometimes that the Congress is basically a mutual aid society.
It is amazing how successful the media has been at covering up what appears to me to be the greatest scandal in the history of the nation.
I can’t think of anything which even comes close, yet most Republicans seem just as willing as the Democrats to ignore or completely cover it up.
It’s all that global warming!
I can get groceries, sporting goods, a new hunting rifle, ammunition, brewskis and even a cigar!
All in one stop!
I am working on a video project.
I need a female spokesperson who has lost a family member in the Mexican drug wars.
Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Next year? Who knows...

The Republicans in D.C.? They don’t even exist anymore.
This is what happens when your Nation's 4th Estate becomes a 5th Column.
If they are lawyering up then it’s time to indict. Past time.
The Department of Justice’s Operation Fast and Furious: Accounts of ATF Agents
Your link contains erroneous information. Agent Terry was not a member of BORSTAR. He was a member of the Border Partrol’s SWAT known as BORTAC.
I just went back and read the section on Brian Terry, pps 43-46, and saw no mention of either BORSTAR or BORTAC. If you want to tell me where you found that maybe I could comment on it. I don’t know why I should care though. It’s a gov document not something I wrote.
Sorry, bad comment, my mistake. It just infuriates me that Terry gets killed by tonk dirtbags w/ guns provided by the BATF and the best we can get is some half assed investigation.
I have never been a fan of the ATF in general but the fact is the field agents didn't like what was going on and they were the ones to first expose it. They have suffered for coming forward and I read recently that they intend to persevere even if Issa and Grassley won't.
