The "Fast and Furious" Spin of The Obama Administration


Operation “Fast and Furious” -- the supposed transfer of murderous semi-automatic assault weapons allowed to “walk” over the U.S./Mexico border, has the potential for the impeachment of our alleged President Obama as well as the execution and incarceration of others; the incompetent stooge Attorney General Eric Holder being a primary candidate. 

The principle fairy tale of this story grants these traitorous incompetents with plausible deniability by giving them the benefit of the doubt -- that this was a weapons tracking operation gone awry -- which is far too lenient an analysis.  The true purpose of this operation from the very beginning was to subvert and the 2nd Amendment by having the usual cheer leaders of civilian disarmament (Senators Schumer, Boxer, Lieberman, Feinstein) lead the charge as the weapons imported from the U.S. did their lethal work.

It is instructive to note that when this scandal first broke, the immediate media spin from Washington was that this was an operation that had gone terribly astray which had been initiated by low level agents and operatives without the knowledge of their superiors back in DC.  For anyone who knows how Washington and our occupying government actually work, such an explanation was laughable on its face.

President Obama probably cooked this operation up in private with President Calderon, and then instructed Eric Holder to instruct Mr. Melson, Director of the ATF, to be sure that a  large supply of semi-automatic weaponry  made its way across our borders to the Mexican drug cartels.  The idea behind this charade was to react in horror and feigned outrage when these weapons were discovered to be the murderous tools of the drug cartel henchmen who were killing Mexican nationals.  The plan would then be to have Mr. Obama react with that patented look of righteous indignation and pained (and feigned) sensitivity for the innocent lives lost solely due to the "fact" that our antiquated 2nd Amendment allowed capitalistic firearms dealers located in our border states to indiscriminately sell these murderous "assault" rifles to straw purchasers of the drug cartels, who then smuggled them over the U.S./Mexican border to commit their foul deeds.

What makes this laughably transparent is the following:  a.  the straw purchasers of these weapons were already prohibited purchasers based on the NICS identification system; when Arizona, Texas and other firearms dealers called the ATF in Washington to report these attempted straw purchases by felons, they were told by their top brass to let these purchases go thru, thereby violating Federal Law; b.  there was never any "mechanism" by which to trace these firearms after they left the American firearms dealers.  If the purpose behind this "operation" had actually been to trace where these weapons went, then there would have been an actual "mechanism" (such as imbedded electronic chips or RFID tags) to track these weapons via satellite;  however, this was never done!  Once these firearms were illegally purchased by their illegal straw purchasers, there was simply no way to "track" them anywhere. 

The reason that there was no "mechanism" to track these firearms is simple -- THERE WAS NEVER ANY PLAN BY OUR GOVERNMENT OR THE ATF TO TRACK THESE FIREARMS!  The actual plan was simply to find a way to get as many of these weapons over the Mexican border so that their use by the murderous drug cartels would enable both the Mexican and American governments to demand draconian restrictions on the sale of ALL semi-automatic weapons, including handguns, throughout the United States as a way of dealing with this serious "international" problem.

What further illustrates the blatant stupidity of the poseurs currently in power in Washington is their asinine assumption that all the murders these weapons would cause would somehow be magically restricted to the Southern (Mexican) side of our border!  When agent Brian Terry was murdered by one of these weapons on the American side of the U.S./Mexican border, the Washington "spin" --  that this "well-meaning" operation to "track" these firearms into the hands of the Mexican drug cartels to see "where they went" had somehow gone horribly awry -- was a total fabrication and cover-up of the actual intent and covert goal of this operation.

Adding further weight to this scenario is that neither the ATF nor any branch of our government had the foresight, courtesy or intelligence to inform any branch of the Mexican government, including their police, military or drug enforcement agency about this "operation."  As a result, the Mexican government, in open public debate, has correctly labeled this "operation" by the U.S. Government as an ACT OF WAR against the Nation of Mexico!  But somehow, this decree has never quite made it into the lamestream news reports, news papers or television broadcasts of our occupied nation.

There was only one goal here -- to push for the elimination of all semi-automatic "assault weapons" currently sold throughout the United States -- a type of firearm which has been available to the American public since the turn of the last century! As incredible as it may be, Mr. Obama and his lackeys cared nothing about the deaths (currently over 200 Mexican nationals) which can be directly attributed to these firearms allowed to "walk" over the border.  All they cared about -- as all ideologues do -- is the implementation of their "agenda," and the real cost in human lives and suffering be damned!

Of course, we have never touched upon the other anomalies about this story.  For one, it is always reported that some "2000 +" firearms were allowed to "walk" across the border.  The actual figure (see www.goa.com) is much closer to FIVE thousand!  And also often not reported is that some of these "assault" rifles included .50 caliber BMG semi-automatic rifles -- the kind that this administration has decreed can "...bring down airplanes, jets and helicopters....".  But apparently putting them into the hands of murderous criminals and directly violating Federal, National and International laws was never any sort of consideration for our "leaders" in Washington.

Moreover, this story does not include the direct selling of firearms by the ATF to black street gangs in Indiana; nor does it include the direct selling of "assault" weapons and firearms by the ATF to Honduran drug gangs, two other suppressed stories that have yet to see the light of day. 

The upshot of all this is that in the wet dreams of firearms prohibitionists, the gullible U.S. public is supposed to rise up in anger and demand the suspension and outlaw the sale of such "weapons of war" (all semi-automatic firearms) to the American general public in order to prevent these deathly tragedies from occurring ever again.  This laughable scenario is made even more humorous when one studies the map of Mexico.  Here we see a nation with over a thousand miles of coast line, much of it unprotected, where semi-automatic weaponry from anywhere in the world could be imported via sea or air by the billionaire leaders of any of the drug cartels whenever they wished!   The idea that the drug cartels could only find and purchase their required semi-automatic "assault" rifles over the U.S./Mexican border from U.S. firearms dealers perfectly illustrates the level of imbecility rampant at the upper levels of the Obama administration.

The "Big Zero" at the head of our government in Washington didn't quite "slam/dunk" this one thru the hoop -- no more than he has been able to "kick start" the American economy by "focusing like a laser beam" on job creation.  Apparently when your real goal is to eliminate the middle class of a nation, while also attempting to disarm it at the same time, the disassociation between what one says versus what one does eventually becomes glaringly apparent.

The irony is that the 2nd Amendment may ultimately prove to be the Obama administration's ultimate undoing.   A more poetic scenario could not have been envisioned by our Founding Fathers  -- Samuel Adams, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson,  all of them advocates of the people's right to keep and bear arms.

My View of the Coronation

(*note: the following was written the day after B.O. was anointed as President. Thought lost or erased, its recent discovery in my hard drive provoked mirth and wry amusement. It is reproduced for your pleasure, or at least the pleasure of those with similar sympathies).
 
Barack Ascends to the Throne of America

I watched the coronation yesterday and noted that the "cult of personality" is now in full swing and growing in this country.   Blind adulation may not necessarily lead to a dictatorship, but I fear such uncritical clamor can be used for purposes that will end up bordering on the dictatorial.

What difference does it make at the end of the day if the person making these unilateral decisions was "popularly" elected, if his fiats are accepted and acted upon as law? That is not the form of government I was born and raised to think exists in Washington DC, but more and more, thru increased media "glamification", it becomes increasingly difficult for the average person to perceive anything other than a "larger than life" demi-god-like figure named Obama to whom people will turn to for inspiration and answers -- but based on what achievements, accomplishments, and life experience?

I suppose the precursor of this Presidential Coronation was the Obaminator's acceptance of the presidential nomination at the Democrat National Committee, where he walked thru the Greek columns (what, no laurel victory wreath? How could He forget??) to the stage past a throng of cheering acolytes. The only thing missing from yesterday's Presidential Coronation was to have Barack walk in long, white flowing robes and bare feet on top of the water of The Washington Monument's reflecting pool, and then levitate to the top of the stage to be transfigured before us on live TV beamed by satellites around the world. Yes, that would be a fitting "cap" to the narcissism Obama seems to possess in spades, and it would have also substantiated the idolatry swimming in the eyes of his sycophantic admirers.

 I love my country; I detest our politicians. They no longer represent the people or the citizens of this country, but only the most powerful lobbies and special interests, especially the financial interests.

We witness corporate America having to crawl on bended knee to ask for subsidies (companies that have defined American enterprise and have employed tens of thousands of people directly and indirectly for nearly a century); we see them subject to humiliation and extreme public scrutiny of their finances that have been eroded by "free trade" (not Fair Trade!) policies instituted by Washington politicians and lobbyists. These companies are the backbone of our economy; they actually make useful products rather than create "mortgage backed securities" and derivatives built upon nothing more than speculation and gambling packaged as Grade A paper. And yet all the financial sector has to do is cry crocodile tears and hold out their hands and they receive all the cash they require and then some, with no public scrutiny, no cries of conflict of interest, no oversight, no paper trail, no accusations of theft and fraud, no accountability, no responsibility, no 'quid pro quo', no nothing, know nothing! They can have ALL the money they want, right now, right from our pockets and the pockets of our children, their children, and their children, down to the next ten generations, with no questions asked or expected.

Yet when politicians are beholden for financial contributions to get elected in order to continue to bolster their egos which constantly need TV exposure, rather than enjoy the earned gratification and the heartfelt satisfaction of running a sound fiscal ship based on constitutional principles and sound money as defined by our Constitution, we end up with the ‘wanna be’ movie stars masquerading as politicians that we see in DC today.


Politically, I've voted Democrat, Republican and Independent. I vote for the person and never the party. But voting, democracy, and the so-called principle of "one man, one vote" was actually established to enshrine the sham of fair elections and provide rubes with the pretense that they actually have some control on the levers of power.

We are supposed to have a "Constitutional Republic", not a Democracy.   Our Founding Fathers despised democracy as just one temporary step above mob rule. That is one of the reasons why the only people originally allowed to vote had to be land owners. Our Founding Fathers rightly judged that only landowners had a physical stake in the results of the electoral process. But to listen to our pundits and politicians massage our history, "Democracy" -- writ in large gold letters -- is the salvation of the Earth. And moreover, it is now our fundamental right to impose democracy on every culture we choose to do so -- as long as that culture has access to sufficient reserves of oil, precious minerals, metals and other natural resources.

Yet in our last two “democratic” elections, our politicians and puppet masters were not content with simply swaying the masses thru mass media propaganda. They went one step further -- to the actual control of the voting process (and the results!) thru the remote reprogramming of the Diebold touch-screen video fantasy voting machines (via satellite!), with no paper trail.   Stalin would be so proud, so envious!

* * * * *

 Nevertheless, I yearn for true financial, ethical and spiritual renewal based upon the eternal principles upon which this country was founded. But I fear it is not to be, at least not in my lifetime. The grip of the media masters, and the media-political-military-educational complex is far too thorough and complete, the educational "process" far too debilitated, to expect anything other than further societal drift, theft, corruption and manipulation as we slide towards Socialism.

Of course, I realize that many of the electorate voted with the "hope" that yet another vapid re-run of George Bush I and Bush-Lite II would not materialize (two political hacks who would have both been relegated to parking cars had not grandfather Prescott enjoyed political clout); therefore the electorate decided to "change" America's course with the "hope" that their election of a slick empty suit would be better, in the long run, than the their previous election of a dyslexic bi-sexual shit-kicker.

Yet I know I must pause and put all this in its proper perspective.   I must realize that for Barack, the Presidency of the United States is merely a “stepping stone” to truly greater glory; the head of the United Nations or some form of new global government comes to mind.


Nevertheless one can only hope that the monumental hubris and arrogance which seems to drip from the very pores of this curious media creature will come back to haunt our presidential silver-tongued animatronic mannequin.
Even the best actors can be at a loss for words when their script runs out or the teleprompter stops rolling.
