I'm fine with calling Fast and Furious terrorism; but lets not forget its intent: gun control.

Immediately prior to Fast and Furious being exposed, Obama and Hillary were running a huge propaganda campaign about Mexican cartels being armed by evil American gun dealers. They were--it was just the dealers were the government--as they both knew.

I'm not sure Sedition even covers their crimes. The depth and breadth of their actions against our country will never be known. Your research is a good compilation exposing one of their first attacks. The ongoing lack of Congressional response displays not mere incompetence, but collusion.

I remember that part of it very well and the "River of Guns" propaganda they were spewing.

Here is the debunking of that...

Mexico's Gun Supply and the 90 Percent Myth

As we discussed in a previous analysis, the 90 percent number was derived from a June 2009 U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) report to Congress on U.S. efforts to combat arms trafficking to Mexico (see external link).

According to the GAO report, some 30,000 firearms were seized from criminals by Mexican authorities in 2008. Of these 30,000 firearms, information pertaining to 7,200 of them (24 percent) was submitted to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) for tracing. Of these 7,200 guns, only about 4,000 could be traced by the ATF, and of these 4,000, some 3,480 (87 percent) were shown to have come from the United States.

This means that the 87 percent figure relates to the number of weapons submitted by the Mexican government to the ATF that could be successfully traced are not from the total number of weapons seized by Mexican authorities or even from the total number of weapons submitted to the ATF for tracing. In fact, the 3,480 guns positively traced to the United States equals less than 12 percent of the total arms seized in Mexico in 2008 and less than 48 percent of all those submitted by the Mexican government to the ATF for tracing. This means that almost 90 percent of the guns seized in Mexico in 2008 were not traced back to the United States.

All part of the overall globalist/socialist takeover plan.

Rather than hanging or firing squad they should all be drawn and quartered!
