The Untold Story Behind The
"Fast and Furious" Scandal

Univision News, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:Robinsolana, 9/30/2012 9:31:03 AM

Who are the human faces of the U.S. government's botched "Fast and Furious" gun-walking operation? Often lost amid the rancor in Washington are the stories of dozens of people killed by guns that flowed south as part of the undercover operation, and later slipped out of view from U.S. officials. Univision's Investigative Unit (Univision Investiga) has identified massacres committed using guns from the ATF operation, including the killing of 16 young people attending a party in a residential area of Ciudad Juárez in January of 2010.

Comments:
Anyway you look at it, the callousness of the Obama administration toward these casualties of its 'gunwalking' of 1000s of weapons into the hands of the narco-terrorists in Mexico is stunning.

Watched the promo. Someone makes the statement that Americans don't care about deaths beyond their borders. That might be true to some extent, but the US Latino vote will be effected when this story airs.

The Univision special will air with English sub-titles. 70PM (EST)

In defense of the Americans that don't care, it's because the MSM has REFUSED to tell us about this travesty. They are so intent on protecting their boy a few hundred deaths means nothing to them.

1. It wasn't "botched" despite the media meme. The goal was to create a [phony but] believable "trail" of US guns into drug cartel hands.

2. The guns didn't "slip out of view," as there were never any tracking devices used by Holder.

3. That said, and risking mis-interpretation of how serious F&F is and must be taken, it must be said that Mexico is in a fight for survival against the cartels. But Mexico seems to lack both the needed "weapons" [enough honest military and police; honest courts that can survive the Cartels' violence] and the indispensable will. Most of al, the Mexican federal gov't seems to come short.

Like I said, trying to foment a US-Mexico war, but I really didn't think the ATF would be involved. They are made to do cartoon type stuff that plays to our stereotypes, and we are made to do cartoon type stuff that plays to theirs. Eventually somebody comes along and undertakes some provocative night time shooting and spreads some rumors and you have got yourself a war, which Obama will jump into and enjoy because it isn't about the big right-left narrative. There is no way to avoid being manipulated except to see the other side, now, early.


Reply 11 - Posted by: frodo, 9/30/2012 10:43:54 AM     (No. 8900121)

The reason Univision is (so far) the only media company to air this is because the media generally is working to get President Obama re-elected.
I learned years ago while working in intelligence that the Arab translators were generally sympathetic to the Arab positions and the Hebrew translators to the Israeli positions. That is human nature.
Spanish speakers will care more about Mexican police deaths than US non-Spanish speakers will be. (obviously a generalization). However video has the power to move opinion. The interviews with the mothers of the teens that will killed by US supplied guns could very well move this into a campaign issue.

The True Story Is This

The Mexican Drug War, and war it is, has it's other roots in Chicago. Bot are for control of distribution into America. Chicago is other end of this war.

The common denominator is The Obama Machine and the vicious gang that rules Illinois, known colloquially as Democrats.

Read Dr. Joseph Douglass' RED COCAINE for the definitive work on communist strategies to raise vast sums for themselves while destroying America from inside. And we all here know Obama is a communist.

Amazing but not surprising.. Obviously they have a vested interest in getting this information out to the public, still UNIVISION is the ONLY network to broadcast the real story of F & F! and the drug-cartel-enabler-obama. FNC has made a few tries at it, but not like this one. Hope all those hispanic voters-for-obama will be watching!

I take the pessimistic view and I hope I'm wrong.

ABC is no friend of conservatives, so why would anyone automatically assume ABC/Univison would do anything that would damning to Obama? Don't kid yourself, This is a vehicle to exonerate Obama. This show will provide reassurance to the Hispanic community that Obama is their only hope.

Sure, the show will criticize Obama, but its main objective will be to provide excuses for everything it presents. Obama will go scot free and if anything. He and his staff will look like angels looking out for the rest of us.

Don't let one critical interview of Obama set you up for disappointment.

That is what we have to hope for, because Hispanic voters won't make the connection on their own.

I'm not surprised that it's Univision making this effort. I was in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico when this story first started to break. I was sitting at a conference table in a major manufacturing operation with a half dozen Mexican engineers and we were supposed to be working on some engineering issues. The meeting dissolved into an angry discussion about fast and furious. They were very upset about this then and still are to this day (I work with these guys every week).

If you think you can't get the show because you don't have Univision, check listings for the name of the show "Aqui y Ahora". I don't get the station called "Univision" on my DirecTv but the show is on ch. 14 KDTV locally.

I think some posters may be right...they may just make it look like incompetence with no knowledge or accountability attributed to Holder or Obama. But, I will still hope (just won't hold my breath!) that it is presented as it should be.

WASHINGTON - The White House on Saturday flatly denied that President Barack Obama withheld requests for help from the besieged American compound in Benghazi, Libya, as it came under on attack by suspected terrorists on September 11th. "Neither the president nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi," National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told Yahoo News by email.

The Benghazi debacle has three parts: how we neglected security while al-Qaeda was building a presence in Libya; whether the administration tried to mislead the public as to the nature of the attack; and now whether the administration denied pleas for help from operatives on the ground at the consulate. Now, presumably at the behest of Gen. David Petraeus — who has been remarkably tight-lipped and not defended his agency against White House accusations that senior officials’ misstatements were the fault of the CIA — the CIA threw the hot potato right back in the politicians’ laps.

Mitt Romney has opened up a clear lead over Barack Obama in their presidential race. That owes a great deal to the candidates’ debate performances, of course. But something else is going on, too. In recent days, Obama’s approval rating has taken a perceptible hit. Via the Weekly Standard, we see that in the Rasmussen survey, only 47% approve of Obama’s job performance, while 52% disapprove. There are two plausible explanations for Obama’s current slide: voters may be disgusted by the mean, petty campaigning he is running, or they may disapprove of his handling of the Benghazi crisis. Or both.

Reports indicate two drones and an AC-130 gunship were in the area when Benghazi was attacked, yet their resources were not used. This runs completely against the current explanation coming out of the White House, which is that Obama did everything he could once he learned of the attack. You'll remember that in the second presidential debate, Obama said that as "soon as I was aware the Benghazi consulate was being overrun, I was on the phone with my national security team." The not-so-subtle intimation is that Obama was stepping up to the protect the U.S. personnel who were in Libya.

President Obama ran into a buzzsaw yesterday while doing a round-robin of satellite interviews with local news outlets in crucial swing states -- and by "buzzsaw," I mean that rare form of species known as a "real reporter." Kyle Clark of Colorado's KUSA actually asked Obama about the latest revelations out of Libya. According to Fox News, the three requests for help made during the seven-hour attack on our consulate in Benghazi were met with orders from U.S. officials to "stand down." Wisely, Obama dodged this question entirely. I say "wisely" because,

The security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support from a Specter gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the ground involved in intense firefights. The fighting at the CIA annex went on for more than four hours — enough time for any planes based in Sigonella Air base, just 480 miles away, to arrive. Fox News has also learned that two separate Tier One Special operations forces were told to wait, among them Delta Force operators.

Washington — Obama administration officials defended their response to the September attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, amid new claims that the White House failed to send help quickly enough as militants overran the mission. The U.S. ambassador and three other Americans died in the hourslong battle. Fox News reported that security officers working for the CIA in Benghazi heard the attack on the consulate but were twice told to wait before rushing to the compound.

Controversial Muslim preacher, feared Turkish intriguer—and “inspirer” of the largest charter school network in America. With the American economy in shambles, Europe imploding, and the Middle East in chaos, convincing Americans that they should pay attention to a Turkish preacher named Fethullah Gülen is an exceedingly hard sell. Many Americans have never heard of him, and if they have, he sounds like the least of their worries.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.
