It took awhile for Rush to frame F&F this way.. He wouldn’t commit early on but alas he finally explains it perfectly.

...and it makes perfect sense that the regime would want to ban the types of weapons that pose the greatest threat to their brown shirts when the SHTF.

Yep, the setup they set us up for went wrong for them.

Live by Deception, die by Deception.

Obama announced that he will push the US Senate to ratify an inter-American arms-trafficking treaty.

"Inter-American" my butt. Obama knew very well that a UN treaty was already being drafted. The principal goal was to deball the Second Amendment and disarm Americans. The second goal was to arm Los Zetas, a hostile, violent, and criminal paramilitary with weapons stocked inside the United States.

Hmmmm. Compare this from April, 2009, with this from March, 2009. I think the administration just made a major, significant, mistake in political gamesmanship.

Meanwhile, they destroy the evidence. Maybe the docs have already been destroyed and that is why Hold-up is stonewalling.

1. Undermine the 2nd Amendment. Blame the private sector and gun dealers for illicit arms trade.

2. Exacerbate the illegal immigration problem in the United States, thereby weakening and destabilizing both countries.

3. Protect and enhance the drug trade.

4. Create war in Mexico.

If the republicans find their cajones, there could be major jail time for a lot of people. Impeachment for sure!

The purpose of F&F was to manufacture a fake crisis and then impose gun control as a result of the manufactured crisis.

Period.

I’ve downloaded it in MP4 format, so there’s an archive.

Yep. It was that simple.

I remember all of the alphabet networks during that time running stories about how "90%" of the guns used by the Mexican drug cartels came from purchases from US gun shops; they filmed their own purchases to show how easy it was, blah, blah.

Those stories don't write themselves, particularly with how lazy most "journalists" are. I am sure the stories were planned in the WH, went to the DOJ, and then the scripts were handed to the MSM, who dutifully carried out their instructions.

'I continue to believe that we can respect and honor the Second Amendment right in our Constitution -- the rights of sportsmen and hunters and homeowners that want to keep their families safe -- to lawfully bear arms, while dealing with assault weapons that, as we know here in Mexico, are used to fuel violence,' Obama said. .

Obama's worse than Nixon...

I remember Sec. Clinton making a statement about guns from the US going into Mexico. Anyone else remember this?

The whole point, don't forget, the whole point of Fast and Furious was to create mayhem in Mexico among drag cartels with American-made weapons easily procured so that you and I would stand up in outrage and demand tighter gun laws.

The goal was to take away US citizen gun rights, but the reason was because Obama needs a disarmed America to carry out his plans to institute a Chavez-style dictatorship. He was looking years into the future when he came up with this idea.

Here is a transcription of the link you posted [caps are mine, as relating to Obama]:

Gibbs: “...want to discuss an ISSUE THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO THE PRESIDENT this morning. The steps [that] we are taking on both sides of the border, working with our Mexican partners to support the Mexican government's campaign against the violent cartels and to reduce contraband in both directions across the border. Today the Department of Homeland Security and Secretary Janet Napolitano, Deputy Secretary of State Jim Steinberg and U.S. Deputy Attorney General David Ogden will lay out the ADMINISTRATION'S COMPREHENSIVE RESPONSE to the situation along the border with Mexico, and we'll take a few questions.”

David Ogden: “UNDER THE PRESIDENT'S LEADERSHIP, together with the State Department and Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice stands ready to take the fight to the Mexican drug cartels. THE PRESIDENT HAS DIRECTED US to take action against these cartels, and Attorney General Holder and I are taking several new and aggressive steps as part of the ADMINISTRATION'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. Those steps include the following: Department of Justice's drug enforcement administration which already has the largest US drug enforcement presence in Mexico, with eleven offices in that country, is placing sixteen new DEA positions in southwest border field pos...uh...field operations, specifically to target Mexican trafficing and associated violence. DOJ’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives is increasing its efforts by adding 37 new employees in three new offices, using ten million dollars in Recovery act funds, and re-deploying 100 personnel to the southwest border in the next 45 days to fortify ITS PROJECT GUNRUNNER which is aimed at disrupting trafficing between the United States and Mexico. ATF is doubling its presence in Mexico..uh..itself..uh..from five to nine personnel working with the Mexicans specifically to facilitate GUN TRACING..uh..activity which targets..ah..the illegal weapons...ah...and their sources in the United States.”

(question - next to impossible to understand, because of the reporter's thick accent - so only snatches of what he asked): “...the question basically...did you expect...to clamp down on the trafficing...going into Mexico...problem is you know all these guns...’choo expect...the people who sell these arms...part of the problem...You can be successful...you can do anytink...source of these legal business...how you expect to make impact on these things?”

Napolitano: “Several things. One is, first of all you've got to interdict the arms - you've got to stop them from going into Mexico. Now that's why we're increasing the southbound inspections, that's why we're moving the technology to the border, to help with screening..ah..going into the border..uh, uh...we're coordinating with Mexico because they can do more uh by way of southbound screening..uh..on their side of the border. Uh...but then the Department of Justice moving...uh...their agents..uh..down there..uh..as David said, in increasing TRACING - that will help us identify who are..who, who..is putting those arms..ah...into the arms...th...those guns..uh, uh..into the arms of the trafficers..uh..moving south..uh..and out of that, there..uh..can reasonably be seen more prosecution of actual arms dealers who are intentionally and knowingly..uh..putting arms into the hands of the smugglers..uh..so that is part of the reason why the Department of Justice is sucj an essential part of this initiative on Mexico.”

This was a March 2009 presser. Big Sis’ stammering, wandering answer seems to be a description of what many of us have suspected: Fast & Furious was devised to use US gun dealers as a means to flood the Mexican market with guns - and to then launch an attack the 2nd Amendment. Both Ogden and Napolitano exhibited many nervous “uh”s and “ah”s when mentioning gunrunning, tracing, and illegal weapons/sources/dealers. Freud, poking at their tongues!

This sure does seem to implicate old Barry and his boy Holder from very early on, doesn't it? Ahhhh...to be a fly on the Oval office wall, or an eavesdropper on the One’s Blackberry. Smoke and fire!
