A high-ranking Mexican drug cartel operative currently in U.S. custody is making startling allegations that the failed federal gun-walking operation known as “Fast and Furious” isn’t what you think it is.
It wasn’t about tracking guns, it was about supplying them — all part of an elaborate agreement between the U.S. government and Mexico’s powerful Sinaloa Cartel to take down rival cartels.
The explosive allegations are being made by Jesus Vicente Zambada-Niebla, known as the Sinaloa Cartel’s “logistics coordinator.” He was extradited to the Chicago last year to face federal drug charges.

This is not news to those of us who were paying attention.
No it’s not news to those who can analyze events that span more than one news cycle.
I'll bet Jesus commits arkiside soon.
Nope - I just sent this to my email list with a the note “we told you so.”
Don’t take your eyes off the prize boys. It is going to reap benefits. See tag.
Look over there, Sports!!!
Bush had six years to secure the border.
Wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
If you think people like Kennedy got rich from bootlegging, the profits from drugs during prohibition are exponentially higher.
Back then people smuggled entire truckloads of liquor for good profit. Today the same profit potential can be concealed inside an airbag or someone’s stomach.
[sincerity, average] Shocking. Just shocking. [/sincerity]
Yep, it’s what I immediately thought from the very first.

US soldiers are operating inside Mexico as part of the drug war and the Mexican government provided critical intelligence to US agents in the now-discredited Fast and Furious gun-running operation, a Mexican diplomat claims in email correspondence with a Texas-based private intelligence firm.
The emails, obtained and made public by the nonprofit media organization WikiLeaks, also disclose details of a secret meeting between US and Mexican officials held in 2010 at Fort Bliss, a US Army installation located near El Paso, Texas. The meeting was part of an effort to create better communications between US undercover operatives in Mexico and the Mexican federal police, the Mexican diplomat reveals.
However, the diplomat expresses concern that the Fort Bliss meeting was infiltrated by the “cartels,” whom he contends have “penetrated both US and Mexican law enforcement.”

If anything he has said is true he wont make it alive to testify in a court of law I will bet...
One thing I seemed to always notice when a big Cartel bust was unvieled by Mexican Police was an unusual number of M-4’s with M203 grenade launchers, as well as a whole lot of 40mm shells.
Subconsciously, I just assumed those things were floating around on the international arms market, or they were getting them out of Mexican military armories. Now you wonder.
Wonder why he was extradicted to Chicago of all freaking places? Wouldn’t the jurisdiction be at the place of the state where the crimes were committed?
The man is seriously suicidal if this can be proven. How long will he last in Chicago?
ColdSteelTalon “ If anything he has said is true he wont make it alive to testify in a court of law I will bet...”
He will be “Vince Fostered”, having committed suicide in his cell with his hands tied behind his back , hanging in his cell , and shot with 9mm (although the gun will never be found) , along with a suicide note.
Fast and Furious was about supplying arms to the Cartels to protect spook drug transactions.

What a coincidence.
Another strange coincidence is that the Cartel driven violence ramped up from a low level of violence among cartel members in Jan 2009 when Obama took office to to a fever pitch of senseless, gruesome mass murder of both cartel members and innocent bystanders by the end of 2010.
Soon after the new Republicans took office in Congress after the 2010 elections when facts about Fast and Furious began to be made public and Issa began his investigation, the extreme violence in Mexico abruptly began to subside all on their own with no corresponding crack down by law enforcement on either side of the border. For the last year or so there have been minimal reports of cartel driven violence in Mexico.
Very strange. I am not sure I am comfortable with some of the conclusions that can be inferred from the recent events on both sides of the border.
It baffles me why anyone would support this so called drug war.
Supporting the drug war is actually just funneling money into criminals’ pockets at all levels of government.
Why are people so fervent in their beliefs that the drug war benefits us at the peon level?
Since when do crooks become believable? Do we just pick and choose what to believe from his story? Eric Holder is up to his neck in this muck.
Too movie script sounding to me. I think it was about using F&F to push for more gun control.
Now, not to say I don’t mind a good conspiracy...wouldn’t surprise me if the governmet wasn’t “Bourning” nuts to go on shooting sprees for political reasons.
BTW, does anyone think that if the AZ Rep Gibbons was a Republican the media would be sympathetic? Hell no, they’d basically say she had it coming.
It was already ramping up by 2009...
Killings in Drug War in Mexico Double in ’08
The number of gangland killings reached 5,376 from the beginning of the year until Dec. 2, a 117 percent increase over the 2,477 killings in the same period in 2007, Mr. Medina-Mora said in a luncheon meeting with foreign correspondents.

This “operative “ is a criminal, a foreigner and in custody. He will say whatever DOJ wants him to in order to cut a deal.

My money is backing you. Another mysterious death looms on the horizon.

He is also right. Our government’s policy with Mexico is to prevent a Hugo Chavez from taking power.
Gabrielle Giffords?
No, actually it's much much worse.
Nevertheless, dead is dead.
Yes.
Yes.

Yep its COINTELLPRO...
