ON GUN WALKING/FAST and FURIOUS
We were on this story a year ago with Guest: Mike Vanderbeogh Of the Sipsey Street Irregulars about this criminal action by ATF and the Obama Administration. Do you know about the Project Gunrunner. We are going to have one of the two (David Codrea who writes for the Examiner couldn’t be with us, he had another commitment ) who broke the story on the Brian Terry killing. A gun used in this operation was involved in a December 2010 incident in which US Border Patrol Brian Terry was killed. According to Mike Vanderbeogh at Sipsey Street Irregulars blog The upper management at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, seemingly with a green light from the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, was allowing thousands of semiautomatic firearms to be purchased from Phoenix-area gun shops by drug cartel criminals who then walked these weapons across the Mexican border.

Last week it was
reported that the State Department and Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton were deeply involved in the scandal
known as Operation Fast and Furious,
or Project Gunwalker.
Today, however, new
evidence has surfaced indicating that not only was Hillary deeply involved in
the scandal but was one of the masterminds behind it. According to
investigative citizen journalist Mike Vanderboegh,
sources close to the development of the Gunwalker scheme state that early on,
Hillary and her trusted associated at State, Andrew J. Shapiro, devised at
least part of the framework of what would later become Operation Fast and
Furious. It was Shapiro who first described the details of the proposed scheme
early in 2009 just after the Obama Administration took office. Vanderboegh
relates the following:
My sources say
that as Hillary’s trusted subordinate, it was Shapiro who first described to
the Secretary of State the details of what has become the Gunwalker Scandal.
The precise extent to which Hillary Clinton‘s knowledge of, and
responsibility for, the Gunwalker Plot, lies within the memories of these two
men, Shapiro and Steinberg, sources say. The sources also express dismay that
the Issa committee is apparently restricting itself to the Department of
Justice and not venturing further afield. The House Foreign Affairs Committee,
they say, needs to summon these two men and their subordinates — especially at
the Mexico Desk at State — and question them under oath as to what Hillary
Clinton knew about the origins of the Gunwalker Scandal and when she knew it.
There is one other thing those sources agree upon. The CIA, they say, knows
“everything” about the “Mexican hat dance” that became the Gunwalker Scandal.
The ‘Steinberg’ mentioned
in the quote above is Hillary Clinton’s former Deputy Secretary of State, who
was appointed directly by Barack Obama and was considered from the start to be
an ‘Obama man’ whose objective was to carry out the wishes of the President in
the State Department. Hillary had said of
Steinberg,
Clinton said Steinberg had been a “fixture” at
meetings with the National Security Council (NSC) and frequently represented
the US State Department at the White House.
That statement is key.
Hillary herself stayed out of all meetings dealing with strategy concerning the
euphemism the Administration used to designate Gunwalker, ‘strategy meetings on
Mexico and the problem of drug and gun trafficking.’ Hillary’s absence would
give the impression that she had no connection to the scheme while making sure
that her views were represented by Steinberg and Shapiro, both of whom were
fully complicit with the details that developed concerning how to pad statistics
on U.S. guns in Mexico. According to sources, Hillary was obsessed with gun
statistics that would prove that ’90% of the firearms used by Mexican criminals
come from the United States.’ As previouly reported, that meme, repeated
incessantly by Democratic Senators, Barack Obama, certan members of the ATF,
Janet Napolitano, and Hillary Clinton was patently and blatantly false.
The fact that they all knew it was false is borne out by the lengths to which
each of the above named co-conspirators went to attempt to ‘prove’ that the 90%
figure was true. Again, Vanderboegh relates the following:
My sources say
that this battle of the “statistics” was taken very seriously by all players —
the White House, State and Justice. Yet, WHY was this game of statistics so
important to the players? If some weapons from the American civilian market
were making it to Mexico into the hand of drug gang killers that was bad
enough. What was the importance of insisting that it was 90 percent, 80
percent, or finally 70 percent? Would such statistics make any difference to
the law enforcement tactics necessary to curtail them? No. This statistics
mania is similar to the focus on “body counts” in Vietnam. Yet if Vietnam body
counts were supposed to be a measure of how we were winning that war, the focus
on the 90 percent meme was certainly not designed to be a measure of how we
were winning the war against arming the cartels, but rather by what
overwhelming standard we were LOSING. Why? Recall what the
whistleblower ATF agents told us right after this scandal broke in the wake of
the death of Brian Terry: “ATF source confirms ‘walking’ guns to Mexico to
‘pad’ statistics.”
Thus, from the
beginning the scheme was to pad statistics on U.S. guns in Mexico in order to
be in a strengthened position to call for gun bans and strict gun control at a
time when it was politically unpopular. Further, the scheme would involve a
made-up statistic, out of thin air–90%–which then had to be proved by using
civilian gun retailers along the southern border as unsuspecting pawns to walk
U.S. guns into Mexico by ATF agents, straw purchasers, and others with
connections to Mexican drug cartels. And the evidence points to the fact that
Hillary Clinton was one of the original Administration officials who was ‘in
the loop’ on the scheme from the very beginning. Be sure to catch my blog at The Liberty Sphere. Visit my ministry site
