“But at this Point, Does it really Matter?” (Cackle, Cackle)

That is sadly, rather True. Nobody among the Traitors Involved will face any “Justice”, for there Is None in the FUSA. Stevens’ Death was perhaps, ‘justice’, as up to the point He lost usefulness to the Conspiracy, He was as Guilty as the Hildabeast.

I Hope that this Incident at least, is Informative to those in the Military who Would be “Heroes” and put themselves into positions where they are Expandable Pawns.

Operation Fast and Furious was the trial run, the test case if you will, for what became Benghazi. Although originally begun under the Bush administration, Fast and Furious didn’t come to fruition until the Obama regime took power. The official rationale of “Project Gunrunner,” as it was then called,was to run a series of sting operations to catch illegal buyers and sellers of weapons on both sides of the border, but the underlying and genuine motive of the operation was to discredit U.S. gun owners and sellers alike, thereby, it was hoped, weakening opposition to gun control. “Fast and Furious” was designed as a false-flag attack upon the Second Amendment, the right to keep and bear arms, and legitimate American gun owners and dealers. Between 2006-2011, ATF agents in Arizona purposefully allowed licensed firearm dealers in Tucson and Phoenix metro areas to sell firearms to illegal straw-buyers, with the intent of tracking these arms to Mexican drug cartels. The firearms from the straw sales, which numbered some 2,000 guns, began showing up at crime scenes on both sides of the border, but the operation, now called “Fast and Furious,” remained beneath the radar until the shooting death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in December, 2010. Guns from “Fast and Furious” were recovered at the scene of his death. At that point, the operation blew up and landed on the front page. An investigation ensued in which it was learned that in addition to Agent Terry, 150-200 innocent Mexicans lost their lives as a result of the operation. Not a single senior member of any of the cartels was caught as a result of the operation. Thanks to a cooperative media and some damage-control by the Obama regime, some Congressional hearings were held, but nothing much was done to punish those responsible. None of the principles so much as lost their job, let alone was criminally-charged or censured in any way. Obama, Holder, Napolitano, et al. came out of the whole thing smelling like the proverbial rose in fact. The hearings had simply been some convenient political theater to dupe the public into believing something was being done – and would end quietly as soon as the scandal dropped off the front page. The old Washington two-step…. The key take-away about “Fast and Furious” is that it taught Obama, Clinton, Holder, Napolitano, et al. that they were effectively above the law and could in fact get away with being gun-runners in everything but name. Not only that, they could literally get away with murder – as the deaths of Brian Terry and all of those Mexicans proved. At this point, Obama and company were guilty of a number of violations of international, U.S. and Mexican law. Trafficking in arms across national lines; the buying/selling of arms in the black-market; the negligent homicides/murders of Terry and the other victims. Technically, the operation constituted a legitimate casus belli – cause for war – under international law, since the Obama regime had killed… Read more »

If there were such business owners, then kudos to them for having the courage to follow their convictions – probably at risk to their businesses, FFL licenses, etc. Tough spot for the owner of a gun store; he probably didn’t sign on for agency black-bag ops, but may have been “volunteered” anyway.

@ Dan

Sadly, you are more right than not, which is why I term present-day America “post-constitutional” and de facto a banana republic. We used to be a nation of laws, but we have instead become a nation of men. The rot has been long-lasting, too, since the ruling class – the so-called “American aristocracy” – has been making up their own rules for a long time.

It’s been fully a half-century since Senator Edward “Teddy” Kennedy killed poor Mary-Jo Kopechne, and got away with it scot-free thanks to his father having the clout to protect him from prosecution. The Left went on to elevate Kennedy into something of a statesman, the “Lion of the Senate” is what they called him. Don’t know whether to laugh or sneer when reading that one.

Yes, good ole Ted could have written a book on how to get away with murder and become a success, because that’s certainly what happened to him. Bill and Hillary Clinton were taking notes, too, and have followed Ted’s path since then.
