El Chapo had a “Fast & Furious” firearm in hideout

Posted on by

El Chapo Victims

Some of El Chapo’s terrible handiwork in Mexico. F&F firearms were used to kill El Chapo’s enemies and innocents alike.

And not just “any” firearm; oh no.

FAST AND FURIOUS GraphicYou remember Holder’s “Fast & Furious” debacle, right?  The one where US Attorney General Eric Holder’s BATFE thought it would be a splendid idea to allow weapons to cross into Mexico under its “supervision” as Operation Gunrunner, then later as Operation Fast and Furious.  More than 2,000 guns were sold to suspected criminals thought to be linked to the Sinaloa drug cartel and other Mexican criminal organizations in the two years of the operation under the Obama presidency.  Shock of shocks, there were criminals involved.  So in essence the BATFE knowingly allowed US weapons to be “walked” into Mexico.  BATFE agents lost track of 1,400 of the 2,000 guns sold.

On Dec. 14, 2010, US Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was killed during a gunfight. It was discovered that weapons in the shootout stemmed from the Fast and Furious operation.  A BATFE scheme, therefore, was directly responsible for the death of an American law enforcement officer.

USBP Agent Brian TerryLet us also not forget that documents about F&F were handed over to Representative Darrell Issa’s House Oversight Committee in November of 2014 (four years after the murder of Agent Terry) only after the White House tried to use executive privilege in an attempt to halt emails related to the case, and contempt of Congress charges against Attorney General Eric Holder in 2012,  On June 28th of 2012, AG Holder was in fact held in contempt of Congress — the first time ever for a US presidential cabinet member.

Eric Holder Finger Pointing Kiss My AssHere’s something else people conveniently forget: Emails released to Judicial Watch, a group that filed suit to obtain legal documents from the Justice Department, showed Holder’s direct involvement with officials throughout the Justice Department and the ATF in how to handle congressional inquiries and ways to format talking points about Fast and Furious.

In other words, how to obfuscate and minimize.

Yesterday, from FoxNews.com:

‘Fast & Furious’ rifle capable of taking down helicopter found in ‘El Chapo’ cache

by William La Jeunesse

A.50-caliber rifle found at Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s hideout in Mexico was funneled through the gun-smuggling investigation known as Fast and Furious, sources confirmed Tuesday to Fox News.

When agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives checked serial numbers of the eight weapons found in his possession, they found one of the two .50-caliber weapons traced back to the ATF program, sources said.

Barrett M82 Sniper RifleYou cannot convince me that Project Gunrunner and Operation Fast & Furious weren’t crafted by the Obama administration as an excuse to enact more gun control regulations across the board.  CBS had the records to indicate so.

The NRA’s Wayne LaPierre nailed the issue when he said:

We wouldn’t know about this at all if [Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry] had not been killed and some of the good, honest, decent federal agents down the line had enough of the stench coming out of Washington and started to use the Whistleblower Act to go public and call the Justice Department out on this whole rotten, stinking scheme.

It’s clear the Obama administration and Eric Holder had their anti-gun agendas and did their best to stomp the whistleblowers and stifle the investigation.

Otherwise thousands of guns would still be going over the border into the Mexican drug cartels and the President and the Attorney General and the Secretary of State would all be running around going, ’90 percent of the guns come from America’ in an attempt to seek political advantage and in an attempt to enact more gun control laws on honest American citizens and use this whole issue politically against the Second Amendment of the United States.

Precisely sir.  One of the major reasons I decided to join the NRA recently.  I am tired of Demorats and Leftists trampling on America’s foundational documents.

Good to know the fuckups of Obama and Holder are still the gifts that keep on giving.  How many people did that rifle take out at over 1,000 yards?

Obama hits Israel twice in one day

Posted on by

Islam MADFirst, of course, the nuclear deal with Iran appears to be “done,” so to speak, at this point, pending a few other things that may end up becoming glitches.  See my post here about the Iran nuclear agreement — wherein Iran walks away with everything it wanted and more, and the US walks away with a piece of white-hot rebar up its ass.

The US has now legitimized and promulgated the conduct of Iran and her seeking of nuclear weapons.  All programs begun by Iran with regard to this will be enhanced and even speeded up.  For attempting to become a nuclear nation, Iran has now been rewarded by the United States.  This has now essentially guaranteed a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, as certainly Saudi Arabia is going to want to go nuclear, as will Iraq, Jordan, Egypt and others.  Others who don’t necessarily play with each other very well in the sandbox.

This doesn’t even take ISIS into account.

Never in my life have I seen an American president be as overtly hostile — at best, dismissive — towards the security concerns of Israel.  Resultingly, Benjamin Netanyahu is angry, to say the least.  He quantifies the deal as “a bad mistake of historic proportions.”

Mr Netanyahu said:

Jerusalem (AFP) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday Israel was not bound by the nuclear deal between world powers and Iran, calling it a “historic mistake” and signalling he remained ready to order military action.

His harsh criticism of the agreement came after he warned for months that the deal being negotiated would not prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons that could be used to target Israel.

He also argued that lifting sanctions would allow Iran to further support proxy militants and add to the instability rocking parts of the Middle East.

He summarized:

“Israel is not bound by this deal with Iran, and Israel is not bound by this deal with Iran because Iran continues to seek our destruction,” he told reporters before a meeting of his security cabinet, which later rejected the accord.

“We will always defend ourselves.”

But wait, there’s more.  More bad news for Israel, that is.  From the WashingtonFreeBeacon.com:

U.S. Will Teach Iran to Thwart Nuke Threats

Iran: ‘All our goals materialized’ under deal

by Adam Kredo

The United States and other world powers will help to teach Iran how to thwart and detect threats to its nuclear program, according to the parameters of a deal reached Tuesday to rein in Iran’s contested nuclear program.

Under the terms of a deal that provides Iran billions of dollars in sanctions relief, Iran and global powers will cooperate to help teach Iran how to manage its nuclear infrastructure, which will largely remain in tact under the deal.

Iran is, naturally, jubilant once again.

Senior Iranian officials, including the country’s president, celebrated the deal as a victory for the country. Iran’s state controlled media quoted President Hassan Rouhani as saying that the deal will “remove all sanctions while maintaining [Tehran’s] nuclear program and nuclear progress.”

Yes, you read correctly.  The US is going to show Iran how to defend its nuclear facilities against — what?  Oh yes, attacks from Israel.

In what is being viewed as a new development, European countries and potentially the United States agreed to “cooperate with Iran on the implementation of nuclear security guidelines and best practices,” according to a copy of the agreement furnished by both the Russians and Iranians.

This will include “training courses and workshops to strengthen Iran’s ability to prevent, protect and respond to nuclear security threats to nuclear facilities and systems as well as to enable effective and sustainable nuclear security and physical protection systems,” according to the text.

Additional “training and workshops” would work to “strengthen Iran’s ability to protect against, and respond to nuclear security threats, including sabotage, as well as to enable effective and sustainable nuclear security and physical protection systems,” the text states.

This is the part where your mouth falls open and you whisper to yourself, “what the fuck?”

Obama says this is the best deal possible for the citizens of the United States.  Yet he says he will veto any movement by Congress to influence the deal in any fashion whatsoever.  What portion of that makes any sense to you whatsoever?  The only thing to defeat that will be a veto-proof majority of Republicans and Demorats in concert.

Good luck with that.

Obama: the art of capitulation

Posted on by

John KErry Face PalmTo Iran.

The so-called “deal” with Iran is over.  Ring the bell.  Iran wins.

From a source much more reliable than media in the states, the UKDailyMail.com:

‘Iran have been given a licence to kill’: Netanyahu blasts ‘historic mistake’ of agreeing Tehran nuclear deal as Israeli ministers condemn the ‘surrender by the West to the axis of evil’

by Simon Tomlinson
  • Major powers agree historic accord after a decade of on-off negotiations
  • Lead negotiator John Kerry says U.S. got ‘the good deal that we sought’ 
  • United States, European Union and the UN agree to lift sanctions on Iran
  • Tehran accepts long-term curbs on its nuclear programme that the West has suspected was aimed at creating an atomic bomb
  • Israel reacts angrily to deal and vows to stop the agreement being ratified 
  • Global oil prices plunge over possibility Iranian supply will return to market

The European Union called it a ‘sign of hope for the entire world’, while President Barack Obama insisted the deal meant ‘every pathway to a nuclear weapon is cut off.’

Israel today launched a blistering attack on Western powers for agreeing to a controversial atomic deal with Iran, warning that it gave Tehran ‘a sure path to nuclear weapons’.

Under the accord, sanctions imposed by the United States, European Union and United Nations will be lifted in return for Iran agreeing to long-term curbs on a nuclear programme that the West has suspected was aimed at creating an atomic bomb.

What?  Iran doesn’t want to create an atomic weapon?  No, of course not.  It simply wants nuclear energy to power its country as an alternate energy source because, after all, the oil is running out beneath Iran’s feet.

Right?

But this was angrily rejected by Israel, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu branding the deal ‘a bad mistake of historic proportions’.

He said: ‘Iran will get a jackpot, a cash bonanza of hundreds of billions of dollars, which will enable it to continue to pursue its aggression and terror in the region and in the world.

‘Iran is going to receive a sure path to nuclear weapons.’

Miri Regev, a former military spokeswoman who serves as Israel’s culture and sports minister, said it gave Iran a ‘licence to kill’, adding that it was ‘bad for the free world (and) bad for humanity.’

Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely called the deal ‘a historic surrender by the West to the axis of evil headed by Iran.’

Wait.  Is the Daily Mail saying that the United States, by way of Barack Hussein Obama and John Forbes Kerry (who would name their child after a magazine?) didn’t actually acquire the finest deal available with Iran?

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who spent the last 19 days leading the talks in Vienna, hailed the accord as ‘the good deal that we sought’.

That much is true.  I believe the deal acquired was precisely what Obama sought.

Who will this deal truly benefit?  This is called a clue:

‘Celebrating too early can send a bad signal to the enemy,’ Iranian conservative lawmaker Alireza Zakani was quoted as saying in parliament by Fars News agency.

He noted that Iran’s National Security Council would also review the deal ‘and if they think it is against our national interests, we will not have a deal’, he said.

‘The Islamic Republic will not sign a bad deal.’

So Iran signed the deal.  You do the math.

One thing you can clearly state about Iran: it refuses to act in ways against its own best interests, unlike the United States.

What were points of the deal?

Iran’s IRNA news agency said billions of dollars in frozen funds would be released under the deal, and sanctions on its central bank, national oil company, shipping and airlines would now be lifted.

Iran retains right to conduct research into enriching uranium for 10 years, without stockpiling it

Iran agreed to the continuation of a UN arms embargo on the country for up to five more years, though it could end earlier if the International Atomic Energy Agency definitively clears Iran of any current work on nuclear weapons.

A similar condition was put on U.N. restrictions on the transfer of ballistic missile technology to Tehran, which could last for up to eight more years, according to diplomats.

 
Iranian leaders insisted the embargo had to end as their forces combat regional scourges such as the Islamic State.

And they got some support from China and particularly Russia, which wants to expand military cooperation and arms sales to Tehran, including the long-delayed transfer of S-300 advanced air defense systems – a move long opposed by the United States.

Another significant agreement will allow U.N. inspectors to press for visits to Iranian military sites as part of their monitoring duties, something the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had long vowed to oppose.

However, access isn’t guaranteed and could be delayed, a condition that critics of the deal are sure to seize on as possibly giving Tehran time to cover up any illicit activity.

“Access isn’t guaranteed.”  A brilliant spot of negotiational acumen by John Forbes Kerry.  Read sentence two below.

IAEA chief Yukiya Amano said Tuesday his agency and Iran had signed a ‘roadmap’ to resolve outstanding concerns, hopefully by mid-December.

The economic benefits for Iran are potentially massive.

It stands to receive more than $100 billion in assets frozen overseas, and an end to a European oil embargo and various financial restrictions on Iranian banks.

There were many takes on the issue.

Bottom line?

Iran and six world powers appeared close to a deal on Monday to give Tehran sanctions relief in exchange for limits on its nuclear programme, but Iranian officials said talks could run past their latest midnight deadline and success was not guaranteed.

It appears Iran gets precisely what it wants.  When Iran celebrates, you know something is wrong.

And the United States, a gullible dupe again under Obama, gets roughly nothing.

Did you know that Congress purposely forfeited their ability to veto this deal, and that Obama is seeking approval from the United Nations for the agreement?

BZ

P.S.

Sound similar to Obama’s failed trade of five major Taliban leaders (who are once again active in the field) for a traitor named Bowe Bergdahl?  That too was a wickedly brilliant deal — for the Taliban.

Iran is going to get the bomb — sooner or later, when the deal sunsets in ten years.  Oh, you didn’t know the deal “sunsets”?

Let’s see: Israel is concerned, Saudi Arabia is concerned and Jordan is concerned, to name a few.  This will, ladies and gentlemen, spark a Middle Eastern nuclear arms race.  Period.

“Death to Israel, death to America.”

This is insanity writ large.

Obama: eliminating 5.56 mm rounds

Posted on by

M885 Round, 5.56 mm (.223)In a naked attempt to eliminate the most common American long gun extant: the AR-15 rifle chambered in 5.56 mm caliber.

And let there be no mistake.

Why are all of these issues and topics being pushed and steamrollered all at once?

I submit: easy.  Because the current Obama Administration and what the Leftists believe will be the next Clinton Administration are in the process of, yes, fundamentally transforming this nation into what they believe will be, finally, the new global paradigm of Socialism.

Each Socialist regime believes that it can “do” Socialism much better than their predecessor — if only they were given the opportunity.  Never mind that Socialism has never worked for any country at any time in the entire history of this planet.

Obama and fellow Leftist Demorats believe they can “do” Socialism better than anyone else — despite the fact that Socialism isn’t working for Europe.

Question: what do you call doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results?

Of course you know that answer.

From the WashingtonExaminer.com:

Obama to ban bullets by executive action, threatens top-selling AR-15 rifle

by Paul Bedard

As promised, President Obama is using executive actions to impose gun control on the nation, targeting the top-selling rifle in the country, the AR-15 style semi-automatic, with a ban on one of the most-used AR bullets by sportsmen and target shooters.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives this month revealed that it is proposing to put the ban on 5.56 mm ammo on a fast track, immediately driving up the price of the bullets and prompting retailers, including the huge outdoors company Cabela’s, to urge sportsmen to urge Congress to stop the president.

The question is: will Congress do it?  And will they have the cojones to actually move against the president’s imperial actions via BATFE?

“The Obama administration was unable to ban America’s most popular sporting rifle through the legislative process, so now it’s trying to ban commonly owned and used “ammunition through regulation,” said Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA-ILA, the group’s policy and lobby shop. “The NRA and our tens of millions of supporters across the country will fight to stop President Obama’s latest attack on our Second Amendment freedoms.”

At issue is so-called “armor-piercing” ammunition, an exemption for those bullets mostly used for sport by AR-15 owners, and the recent popularity of pistol-style ARs that use the ammo.

This AP ammunition, because it was (past tense) so plentiful, is popular with American shooters.  You’ll notice, Leftists, per the top photo, these are not “dum-dum” or “hollow point” rounds.

The inexpensive 5.56 M885 ammo, commonly called green tips, have been exempt for years, as have higher-caliber ammunition that also easily pierces the type of soft armor worn by police, because it’s mostly used by target shooters, not criminals. The agency proposes to reclassify it as armor-piercing and not exempt.

Please read the rest of the article here.

This is, frankly, an excuse for the proverbial “foot-in-the-door” trick.  The goal?  To chip away at the Second Amendment in the US Bill of Rights.

Why the push to regulate the internet?  Why the push to eliminate firearms?

It’s all about control and the elimination of pushback, opposition to policies that people believe to be Socialist in nature.  Eliminate the Second Amendment and you can readily eliminate the First Amendment.

I’m a cop; at least for a few more months until I retire.  And there isn’t a rifle round that already won’t go through my vest, from .223 to .308 and most all points in between.  How about some graphics?

GUN CONTROL Gun StatsObama knows full well: he who controls the ammunition, in truth, controls the firearm.

If you can’t eliminate the firearms, eliminate their ability to shoot.
