The evidence is mounting that the Fast and Furious gun giveaway was orchestrated and/or initiated from the top of the Obama administration. Forbes Magazine is calling it “Obama’s Watergate.” Are we to believe that they gave away enough guns to equip a small army of narcoterrorists out of a simple error? We would have to be pretty gullible to believe that.
We have to ask just what they intended to achieve by doing this. It was a truly extravagant gift to the Sinaloa Federation Cartel. It was not just expensive in tax dollars; it was expensive in political capital, and it was so close to the 2012 election.
People don’t give such expensive things away for nothing. The Obama people must have expected something in return.
Consider the fact that Eric Holder, the Attorney General, and the Obama Administration has a long and continuing pattern of giving gifts to the Sinaloa Cartel:

Little Barry moved up the ladder from his Choom Gang days to harder stuff. As he said, he's bringing guns to the fight.
Experts say that cutting off operations that funnel illegal money into banks and other legitimate businesses is key to winning the country's bloody war against drug cartels. But the Mexican government, hampered by inefficient laws and few investigators, has seized less than 1 percent of the estimated annual $10 to $29 billion in drug profits moving through Mexico, despite recent measures such as strict limits on the use of U.S. dollars in cash. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/13/mexican-drug-money-laundering_n_861749.html
BTTT for important info.
Wow. I do think increasing gun violence to restrict 2nd Amendment rights was part of the reaon, though. As well as other reasons.
” $378.4bn was found to be laundered by Wachovia alone.
Over a third of a trillion bucks???
That has to be a typo.
More likely $378.4 million.
Very sloppy.”
Check the original link to the source at dagnyd.wordpress.com . I had to triple check it. Billion.:

With the Sinaloa talent for corrupting people, can we trust our military (if they are ever sent) to seal the border?
I believe we can trust the troops but I’m not so sure about the generals.
I get the feeling that the hard-charging, fire-eating generals of the past have all been replaced by bookish “get along” types who are only interested in their own careers and kissing the right butts.
Hopefully I’m wrong and we can assign our border security to another Blackjack Pershing with George Patton as one of his lieutenants. But we need to seal the border, forcefully ... NOW!
Yup, not a typo. Went to the link and read it. I am speachless. The sums involved are astronomical... 1/3 of a trillion dollars is coincidentally 1/3 of the GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT OF MEXICO. I suppose most or all of that money came from US citizens buying drugs?
“This is the biggest money-laundering scandal of our time.”
One can get a much BIGGER payoff from Goldman Sachs, B of A and the SEIU.
The drug cartels are chump change in comparison.
No motive EXCEPT maybe the political motive of Gun Control.
“I believe we can trust the troops but I’m not so sure about the generals.”
Oh, I’m quite sure about them. The warriors have been weeded out long ago. Successful brass are basically politicians now, and success for them entails playing the game to protect their prestige and their pensions, not their country.
Exactly what unconditional surrenders have we seen the brass preside over since WWII? They are not true believers, mind you, but most certainly they are useful idiots, enabling the undermining of our safety and our sovereignty to please our would-be tyrants.
This is a major league piece of work done by of course the British press, again. You would think Wachovia might have gotten suspicious after 6-7,000 subpoenas!! <P.?
The whistle blower at Wachovia,Woods was all but destroyed by his own company especially the Carribean handlers of(drug money) in Miami of all places—I’m shocked.(not really—its been a hell hole for years now.)
The British Press may save the country,if its savable.
Also an interesting piece on Sipsey Street Irregulars over stuff to come.

We are in a world of trouble....
