Obama Tossing Acting Head of BATFE Under the Bus?

20 June, 2011

Despite all the Watergate-like denials by government officials, I have no compunctions in naming Obama as the guiding force behind Project Gunrunner’s Operation Fast and Furious.   In an obvious effort to introduce more gun control laws, it was Obama and his administration which first began falsely accusing reputable gun dealers of illegally selling weapons to Mexican drug cartels.  It only makes sense that Obama needed to back up his false accusations by actually permitting weapons to slip in under the border.

Do you know what the biggest difference between the Watergate coverup and this recent Operation Fast and Furious coverup?  No one got killed during Watergate:

A ‘Fast and Furious’ border fiasco

June 20, 2011 – NYPost

There’s a war along the Mexican border all right, but it’s not necessarily the one you’re thinking of. In fact, this one has spread all the way to the halls of Congress.

This week, the Obama administration is expected to fire Kenneth Melson, the acting head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives — tossing him under the bus as a symbolic gesture to a congressional committee headed by Rep. Daryl Issa (R-Calif.).

Issa’s Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is investigating an insane ATF operation — a supposed sting that involved the deliberate funneling of thousands of weapons to ultra-violent Mexican drug cartels in 2009-10.

The op’s name, “Fast and Furious,” came from the series of movies about an undercover drag racer working for the FBI — which gives you some idea of the lack of seriousness behind this cockamamie scam.

The Justice Department, which oversees the ATF, says the idea was to allow the sale of handguns, AK-47s and .50 caliber rifles to so-called “straw purchasers,” who’d then pass them along to the cartels. In theory, ATF agents would then trace the extent of the smuggling networks in an effort to stop the illegal cross-border gun trade.

Oops No 1: The agency had no real way to trace the guns once they left the country — and no real power to operate in Mexico.

Oops No. 2: The gangs used the weapons for what you’d expect. At least two American agents have been killed with Fast and Furious guns. God knows how many Mexicans have died; since 2006, more than 40,000 have died in the drug wars.

The operation was vehemently opposed within the Phoenix Field Division of the ATF, where the scheme originated. Agent Pete Forcelli testified: “What we have here is a colossal failure of leadership. We weren’t giving guns to people for killing bear, we were giving guns to people to kill other humans.”

Issa and his Senate counterpart, Charles Grassley, accuse Melson of being intimately involved in the details of the operation, and claim Attorney General Eric Holder is stonewalling their investigation. “Despite mounting evidence to the contrary, DOJ continues to deny that Operation Fast and Furious was ill-conceived and had deadly consequences,” they wrote in their June 14 report. Holder says he never knew about Fast and Furious.

Is anyone surprised that Eric Holder is hindering yet another investigation in order to protect Obama?  I didn’t think so.

Even if Melson winds up the only scapegoat, it’s clear the operation fit with the thinking of this administration. With the Mexican president standing beside him in 2009, President Obama claimed that “more than 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States, many from gun shops that line our shared border.”

NBC Omits “Under God” From Pledge Not Once, But Twice – Replaces God With U.S. Military

20 June, 2011

Yeah…   After watching the video a few times, it seems to me that the intent of the producers was to replace God’s hand of protection over the U.S. with the military’s own brand of protection. 

Obviously, only a Godless totalitarian little sh@t like Obama would be so arrogant as to believe the U.S. military is greater than God and could somehow replace Him.   So, I started asking myself, “who really owns NBC?”   Well, a quick search reveals that Comcast owns 51% of NBC, while GE owns 49% of NBC. 

Now, if you have been paying attention for the past few years, that should raise some serious red flags!

In order for Comcast to buy out NBC earlier this year, the FCC and the Obama Administration worked hand-in-hand with Comcast and struck a deal.  The major concessions are outlined in a press release by the FCC HERE.   Suffice to say, Comcast is now a welfare internet provider

For a great overview of the totalitarian implications of this deal with the Obama administration, CLICK HERE.

Furthermore, Comcast is the owner of the All Obama On Demand (All OOD) cable channel.  (If you are a fan of Doctor Who, you’ll understand why I affectionately call it “All Ood” ).

But, here’s a real interesting tidbit coming up at the end of June Comcast executive David L. Cohen is hosting a fundraiser for Obama

Yup, Comcast and Obama are intimately involved with each other.

Now, need I go into General Electric’s own long-lived, cozy love-affair with Obama?  Since researching the Comcast-Obama alliance has left me a little behind in posting this morning, I’ll just point you to THIS ARTICLE.   There, you will find a plethora of items worthy of further research.

P.S. – The censors at youtube are busy this morning deleting the NBC’s omission of “under God.”  So, if the link goes down, let me know and I’ll try to find another one:
