Fast & Furious: Congress expanding probe to include grenades
Law Enforcement Examiner ^ | Sept. 27, 2011 | Jim Kouri

Posted on 09/27/2011 5:53:55 PM PDT by Smokeyblue

The U.S. Congress will expand their investigation of Operation Fast and Furious to determine its connection to the smuggling of explosives ordinance into Mexico, a police source in Washington, DC, told the Law Enforcement Examiner on Saturday. According to the law enforcement source -- who requested anonymity -- besides the firearms and ammunition allowed to "walk" by agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), grenades and explosives may have also been allowed smuggled across the border into Mexico, ending up in the hands of drug cartel members.

Investigators are renewing their probe into a narco-terrorist attack in which 60 people were killed and upwards of 30 were wounded on August 24 when the perpetrators tossed three grenades into a casino in Monterrey, Mexico, the capital of Nuevo Leon.

The incident occurred at the Casino Royale when two males aboard the back of a pickup truck pulled up to an entrance and allegedly tossed the grenades into the building

Between 20 and 30 people were trapped inside the casino because of debris from the grenade blasts, said the U.S. officer who requested anonymity.

"Worst scandal in American history."

And the PC MSM is too timid to touch it.

Au contraire, mon ami -- timidity has nothing to do with it. They are simply continuing to aid and abet the mobsters they helped place in high office to begin with.

Oh yea, everybody had the same story.

I just thought the 250 miles and the entire story was part of some wild rumor that had been created.

The guy that convinced me it wasn't just a wild rumor got the story from his family in Mexico while Carter was still president.

He was Mexican and was married to a white girl. He had never been to Mexico in his life. He and his wife went to Mexico to visit his family that he had never met. Because his wife was white, nobody thought she spoke Mexican, when in fact she spoke Mexican better than he did. Every place they went there was talk of the coming revolution. He was able to pick up part of what was being said, but his wife picked up a lot more. Scared the living crap Ont of her.

The guy said his family was also very open in talking about the revolution that was planned and how it was planned, with Carters help, to take back the southern part of the US for Mexico. His wife again stood by and played dumb like she didn't understand what they were saying.

Until this guys family in Mexico told him the story of the planned revolution and the taking back of the southern US, he too just thought it was a wild rumor. The guy and his wife left Mexico and said he would never set foot in that country again.

The part that the news is still not covering is the fact that as all this was happening, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were giving speeches on how increased regulations on guns were needed because of all the guns that were being smuggled from the US into Mexico. This had to be a coordinated effort with Gunwalker. The US government conspired to fabricate fake evidence to support a fake case. People died because of it.

When the Gunwalker story broke, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama stopped pushing for increased gun regulation because they know they had been caught. These people need to be tried and convicted for these crimes.

Unless there is a serious special prosecutor investigating these crimes, it will go nowhere because it won’t budge in the political process and Holder will destroy the evidence. He already has.

Sad that Washington is so corrupt and treasonous.

We should encourage the Mexican government to prosecute our Justice Department. The crimes were committed against them.

I live 18 miles from the border and I can tell you that the sheriff’s department makes so many fewer drug busts than they used to.

They bust a few Methheads and Potheads but the days of big busts have been over for years, it does make you wonder.

One of each. Grisly video. Poor guy who got the dull knife probably would have preferred the chainsaw too by the time it was over.

I know that a lot of conservatives think that they did it to push gun control but I’m thinking it is all about drug money and I think it goes all the way to the WH.

This (F&F) was to put the sort of firearms that Americans can buy in the hands of some of the most ruthless people on the planet to advance gun control.

Heavier weapons are to keep the cartel's terrorist streak going, and probably will be used to start the coming civil war/conflict/strife/unrest in America to keep Obama in office. (Martial Law, suspended elections--some Dems are already pushing that meme.)

The race is on, can he be forced out before his street goons are ready to take on America? We'll see.

I look back at the crying need for border security for well over two decades now, and figure the reason the border has not been secured has to be to facillitate the flow of drugs, primarily, and cheap laborers to the US.

Is money being kicked up the ladder?

Almost certainly, whether it has consistently gone to the top or not. What reason for the Gorelick Memo, other than to obfusticate attempts to interdict shipments by not allowing LEOs to compare notes?

That AlQaida cashed in on that opportunity was incidental, imho, to the other cash that was allowed to flow becasue of it.

The next step would be to arm the drug cartels to allow a failed narco-state to be established on our southern border, and the government would then declare a state of emergency, in order to institute the sort of control to which it seems the Obama regime aspires.

While that may be one part, it is becoming increasingly obvious to those who even just get information from TV that Obama is failing. His days are numbered, no matter how many pom-pom shuffles Chrissy Mathews and those of his ilk do.

The general theme, however has been one of division along class and race lines, with the productive and asset holding being made out to be 'evil'.

How proletarian of Mr. Obama to create this sort of 'unifying' environment in an economic situation significantly worsened by his policies.

Since the start of The Looting of America, the low hanging, crony kickback fruit has been pretty much stripped from the trees.

It is, of course, never enough.

The Marxist mentors of Obama are doubtless manipulating the 'one' to take it to the next level, something we have only seen an inkling of with union and other protests.

When the masses take to the streets in midsummer, Government having failed so far at disarming us, there will be an incident, likely involving weapons laundered through the various F&F schemes around the nation, and possibly involving small groups with military grade weapons (select fire and heavier weapons than offered in the average sporting goods store).

There will be calls for Martial Law, but those will only be enforced where the Marxists are losing, and the general mayhem will lead to a push to suspend elections.

Will they kill their cannon fodder to create an incident? (look deeply at what happened at Kent State back when).

If someone would kill Americans to deny the rest of us our Rights, what will they do to finish looting the assets of America? There's still a lot of meat on the bone, so to speak, and they want more time and control to gnaw it off.

Dear Jesus, let me be wrong, or help us stop it.
