The L.A. Times today is reporting that guns taken into Mexico by federal agents and sold(?) to Mexican drug lords, have shown up in El Paso, Texas as early as January 2010.

The lies that have been told and what we the people have been permitted to know is very limited as the Department of Justice works to protect as many higher-ups as possible. How high? You and I will never know which leads us to mostly just speculate. So, let me speculate.

We were told that Operation Fast and Furious was a sting operation, based out of Phoenix, Arizona, to catch the illegal sale of guns by license U.S. gun dealers to the Mexican drug cartel. Supposedly, and in addition to, gun sellers in the region where authorized by the Feds to sell guns to “straw buyers” – those who buy the guns only to pass them on to criminals who couldn’t pass a background check.

But this isn’t what happened at all. As long as it has taken to get any information out of the Department of Justice (DOJ), we have been allowed to find out that some 2,000 weapons and other accessories, like bullet-proof vests, ammo and magazines, were purchased using taxpayer dollars and transported by federal agents into Mexico to be knowingly sold to thugs and criminals. Knowing this information should alert us to the fact that this Fast and Furious operation wasn’t about tracking guns to catch a handful of sellers and buyers breaking our laws.

The L.A. Times article says that the Fast and Furious guns that showed up in El Paso in January of 2010, shortly after the sting began. As was asked by Ed Morrissey of Hot Air, shouldn’t this have alerted the Feds that this sting had gotten out of control and why didn’t they stop it? That is if this was just a simple sting operation to track illegal gun sales.

The Times’ reporting says:

According to ATF emails and a federal court affidavit, El Paso police officers tracking alleged drug smuggling from Mexico followed a dark blue Volkswagen Jetta as it backed into a garage at a residence on Jan. 13, 2010. The driver was identified as Alberto Sandoval. Police later searched the vehicle and found the weapons and other devices.

Are we sure it was all this simple? Why should we even believe this report for what it is? Our government is corrupt. Nothing they have told us so far is true. None of us has reason to believe or trust any of them. Emails said this and emails said that, but are those emails all they might be perceived to be. Consider this as well:

According to an email from ATF Special Agent Oscar B. Flores in El Paso, Sandoval told authorities that he was paid $1,000 “to store the firearms at his residence until they could be transported to the Republic of Mexico” by an unknown third party.

Was this a planned operation? Why is nobody questioning who allegedly paid him $1,000 to store the weapons? Who was the alleged “third party”? Remember the report says that El Paso police found these weapons during “routine” drug smuggling tracking. So, what happened to these confiscated weapons after the fact?

But more importantly, the Feds did not stop the operation. Why? Because it was going as planned for them. Why should we not assume such? We assume they should have stopped the sting operation because we were told that is what it was supposed to be. It was not stopped so we are either looking at total incompetence by the Feds, which is totally possible, or this sting was something else.

Some have speculated that beyond the supposed sting operation to track illegal trafficking of guns, there was a planned effort to frame the citizens of the United States because of our perceived “lax” gun buying, selling and ownership laws. This, of course is believable for many reasons. We know Obama is very much anti gun and has indicated that he wishes for a signed treaty with the United Nations in which control over our guns would become the authority of the U.N.

My instincts are telling me this goes beyond that. It goes at least to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). They are the ones behind this and that’s why we have such a prolonged and controlled release of any information, whether it’s real or fabricated. Who will be the fall guy(s). For sure it will probably be one or two top level Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) agents, if at all, but no higher.

The media is mostly following their orders to not report about Fast and Furious and some members of Congress are putting up a false front of exerting effort to get to the bottom of this. I have asked a couple times now, where is the outrage, the investigations, charges, arrests, impeachment?

Perhaps Obama and his minions could have collected or fabricated some data from Fast and Furious to use against the American people to further strip them of their Second Amendment rights but this stinks of CIA. Their mission is probably very similar to what it has been in the Middle East and North Africa – to do what is necessary to create chaos and instability.

Yes, the American people should be outraged by all of this but very few know anything about it because of clamp downs on the media. Those of us interested in digging some will be permitted to see only what we are allowed to see. Any Congressional investigations will be limited, only enough to pin something inappropriate on some unsuspecting scape goat. I’m sure the plan was all in place prior to Operation Fast and Furious.

Some have been adamant about calling for a formal investigation. Good luck with that and I hope you don’t really expect to learn the truth.

These are my conclusions to this point. What are your?
