The Global Satanic Drug Cartel (The CIA) joyfully causing Border Satanic Serial Murders

by The Global Satanic Drug Cartel (The CIA) Friday, Aug. 12, 2011 at 11:58 PM

The Global Satanic Drug Cartel (The CIA) joyfully causing Gory Satanic Ritual Serial Murders on The US Mexico Border as they joyfully Smuggle Drug Shipments through Mexican Trucks across The Border, The same Mexican Trucks that are Protected from Border Ispections by The US Border Patrol and are given Free Access to US Highways like Parcel Postage Trucks. The Global Satanic Drug Cartel (The CIA) is also not so secretly Arming Mexican Drug Cartels through Covert Arms Shipments like Operation Fast and Furious via The ATF and Other Government Agencies and giving Military Training to Drug Cartel Henchmen via the SOA (Satanist Of The America's), just as The Global Satanic Drug Cartel has done in Southeast Asia, South America, Southwest Asia, etc. I should also point out that The Global Satanic Drug Cartel's (The CIA) Drug Shipments began to Increase after 9-11, through The CIA's Post 9-11 War on Islam, which began with The CIA's 9-11 Attacks, and that The Taliban had slowed The Drug Traffic to a Trickle in Afghanistan before 9-11, and After 9-11 Opium is being grown in Plain Sight Row upon Row in Afghanistan. In addition The Global Satanic Drug Cartel (The CIA) set up Drug Stores aka Gangs like The Bloods, The Crips, and The CIA's Murderously Bloody Steet Gang known as COP (Criminals On Patrol) and Gang Bangings also began in epidemic proportions. What part about Global Drug Cartel (The CIA) don't you understand and what makes you think they have been doing anything but helping The Mexican Drug Cartels, which is nothing but an Arm of The Global Satanic Drug Cartel (The CIA)?

fast and furious

by Operation Fast and Furious wiki page Saturday, Aug. 13, 2011 at 6:16 PM

Operation Fast and Furious
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search

Operation Fast and Furious was the name of an illegal gun trafficking sting run by the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) between 2009 and 2010 as part of the Project Gunrunner. The stated purpose of the sting was to permit otherwise-suspected straw purchasers to complete the weapon's purchase and transit to Mexico, in order to build a bigger case against Mexican criminal organizations who were suspected of being the ultimate buyer.[1] The operation started in the fall of 2009 and ended in late 2010 shortly after the death of Brian Terry, a US Border Patrol Agent and has since become the subject of controversy and a U.S. congressional investigation. During the operation, at least 2,000 guns were released and tracked by ATF agents into Mexico, many of which have been linked to at least 150 shootings. Of the 2,000 guns knowingly released by ATF agents, only 600 have been recovered by officials. The remaining 1,400 guns have not been recovered and possibly remain in the hands of drug gangs.

Background
On December 14, 2010, while trying to apprehend a group of armed suspects, United States Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was gunned down in Rio Rico, Arizona. Upon investigation, it was discovered that many ATF agents monitoring the U.S.-Mexico border had apprehended gun smugglers attempting to cross over into Mexico with large numbers of guns, but would be told by their superiors to stand down and let the smugglers pass.[2]

Representative Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, held hearings on this in June 2011.[3] One ATF agent testified that "I cannot begin to think of how the risk of letting guns fall into the hands of known criminals could possibly advance any legitimate law enforcement interest."[4]

A gun used by drug cartel criminals to shoot at a Mexican military helicopter, forcing it to land, was found to have been one allowed into Mexico by the ATF.[5]

Two AK-47s sold as part of Operation Fast and Furious and recovered by Mexican police were determined to have been used by members of the Sinaloa cartel in the high-profile kidnapping of attorney Mario Gonz
