I think you’re looking for an outside source causing this trouble. As high up as the Communists placed their agents in our government in the 40s and 50s, that would pale in comparison to what you’re suggesting.
Project GunRunner, et al, resulted in the deaths (and will result in further deaths) of a lot of Mexicans and some Americans. I can’t figure how this furthers the Communists in their desire to take over the world.
It does, however, fit into the plans of Liberals to disarm Americans. Remember, this story started with administration officials reporting that guns used by the cartels were traced back to the U.S.. If GunRunner hadn’t been exposed, the story would still be “the guns came from our lax gun control.”
