Univision Breaks New Details
of Obama Admin’s Fast and
Furious Cover-Up

PJ Media, by Bob Owens

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 10/1/2012 7:22:21 AM

On Sunday night, Spanish-language station Univision— one of the only networks to provide critical coverage of President Obama’s failures in office instead of cream-puff interviews — broke open the Fast and Furious investigation, revealing new evidence of weapons smuggling and displaying shocking new images of the bloody aftermath of the government-supported gun-smuggling program. The Univision report undermines the integrity of the recently released DOJ inspector general report on Operation Fast and Furious, already heavily criticized as an attempt to whitewash criminal activity within the Obama administration.

Kudos for having cojones, Univision. I just wish everyone could see their reporting, not just Spanish speaking people.

This may be good but it's worth noting that all civilians are prohibited from owning guns in Mexico. Therefore all guns entering the country go to the criminals. The presence of guns in the hands of free and honest citizens prevents crime. So....while Mexico may be helping us pursue Mssr. Holder & Co. they are still very wrong headed about gun control.

I had never heard of project gang walker or project gun walker until this article. Those are very scarey because they are being used in select big cities and states for the purpose of harming citizens to turn the population against gun use.

What poster 4 said. Gang walker? Are you kidding??

This scandal may be exponentilly bigger than anyone can conceptualize.

As more is revealed about it, the more it becomes obvious that the operation was designed as groundwork for a giant gun grab.

As for me, I intend to grab a tight rein.

And Hispanics will overwhelmingly vote for Obambi despite the fact he runs guns to drug cartels so that innocent Mexicans can be slaughtered. Hispanics voting for Obambi is like Jews voting for Hitler. It makes no sense at all.

This is all well and good. But it is just a set up to clear the way for some Mexicans to sue the American taxpayer for deaths caused by these guns. The truth is, whatever murders were committed with Fast and Furious guns would have been committed anyway. There are plenty of other guns in the hands of Mexican criminals.

Just like American Jews, Hispanics must realize that Obama, his administration and the Democrat Party are not their friends and do not care. The American Media is a disgrace and should be ashamed the it took the work of Univision to reveal the details of this bloody atrocity and cover up by the Obama administration. The American Media is complicit and in collusion obviously with Washington Democrats in the cover up as well.

They call AK47s "Goat's horns"!
Maybe Obama and Holder thought the cartel was shopping for real goat horns? They aren't that bright, you know? They probably don't know many Mexicans. Or, they didn't get it.

Univision was co-founded by and owned by - until a few years ago when he sold his interest - Jerry Perenchio, a former Hollywood agent and promoter (his roster included Elizabeth Taylor) - who is a huge supporter of Republican PACs and candidates and is fiercely anti-illegal immigrant.

A. Jerrold Perenchio, known as "Jerry," made the bulk of his fortune selling Spanish-language broadcaster Univision for $13.7 billion in 2007 to a consortium led by fellow Los Angeles billionaire Haim Saban.

Although his original co-founders were Mexican and Univision is Spanish language, you could not call it a Mexican television station.

FTA: Univision also uncovered evidence of weapons being smuggled from Texas: two gun-smuggling programs similar to Fast and Furious are rumored to have put thousands of additional weapons in the cartels’ hands in operations larger than Fast and Furious.

On June 6, 2010 two illegals Damaso Rueda-Cabrera (20) and Arnulfo de la Cruz Sanchez were stopped by Laredo Police with 147 assault rifles and 10,000 rounds of ammunition. The were charged with immigration crimes and served 10 and 45 days respectively.

On Aug 1, 2012 Damaso Rueda-Cabrera (30) and Rene Chapa were sentenced to 80 months and 70 months for arms trafficing. The story is that Chapa hired an under cover ICE agent to transport the guns and ammunition and the trap was sprung when Cabrera met the truck.

Sounds to me like this was clean up after Fast and Furious blew up.

I don`t believe the country at large cares one wit about F & F, Benghazi or any other Scandal of the Week. These things come and go during the standard `news cycles`. Since most people get their `news` from Big Media and BM doesn`t cover the story properly, these things tend to fade away after time. People simply get tired of hearing about it and move on. Holder was found in contempt of Congress back in late June, almost 100 days ago. What has happened since? N-o-t-h-i-n-g. Nothing will come from the Benghazi fiasco either. It`s business as usual. Congressional investigations do nothing.

Glenn Beck, Andrew Napolitano became too straightforward, honest and lost out, lost their shows, too direct, TV including FoxTV, is "Containment City" so many subjects are taboo, blocked out, never discussed. We're in giant economics and dictator-czar-executive order TROUBLE and you will not see hear any of it on TV.

If Romney is nimble he will say to Univision immediately that he will prosecute those responsible no matter how far up it goes. They are very passionate about this and it's a big issue to them. Obama will just make more of the same excuses that they aren't buying. He's liable to lose a lot of the Hispanic vote over this if Romney handles it right.

Twenty gunmen hired to assassinate a bunch of seemingly innocent teenagers? Hired by whom? What a perfect way to start a wave of outrage against guns. If the government has sunk low enough to hold a secret, illegal gun sale, it's also low enough to use them. Washington has been infiltrated by the entire Chicago black crime syndicate.

Sebelius: Implementing Obamacare

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius conceded Monday that implementing the Affordable Care Act has been more complicated and frustrating than the Obama administration expected, largely due to Republicans who have opposed the law´s state-based exchanges and Medicaid expansion. "The politics has been relentless and that continues," Sebelius said. "There was some hope that once the Supreme Court ruled in July, and then once an election occurred there would be a sense that, ´This is the law of the land, let´s get on board, let´s make this work.´"

President Obama kicked off the week in Connecticut with a rallying cry for new gun control measures hand-in-hand with Sandy Hook parents. This afternoon, Obama sat down in the Oval Office with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel — who, with a military, civilian, and contractor work force on edge about their jobs, is tasked with unveiling what could be a punishing presidential budget for the Pentagon tomorrow. Over at the Senate tonight, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) filed cloture on the motion to proceed to the gun-control package, which means

President Obama will unveil his 2014 spending plan Wednesday, 65 days late and several trillion dollars short, by Republican standards, of effectively reining in the national debt. But the more relevant fact about the White House budget may be the yawning political void into which it is about to fall on Capitol Hill. Administration officials say their plan offers a path to compromise, a centrist course that avoids the extreme spending cuts of the House Republican budget as well as the $1 trillion tax hike endorsed last month by Senate Democrats. The president’s proposal contains the same set of policies

It seems very odd that President Obama has made gun control the signature issue of his second term, so far. He can’t possibly achieve any significant legislation; a few tweaks to the background check system, maybe, but there is no chance of getting any meaningful gun control through the House. The House Democrats aren’t even trying. So it also seems strange that all eyes are on the Senate, where Harry Reid will unveil some sort of gun legislation–no one knows what, exactly–on Thursday. The party’s left-wing base is lining up behind the bill, sight unseen.

In a poll conducted by PoliceOne, a majority of law enforcement personnel said universal background checks, "assault weapons" bans, and "high capacity" magazine bans do not make police safer and will not lower violent crime. Armed citizens, on the other hand, do make a positive difference. In the poll of 15,000 law enforcement professionals, 71% of respondents said an "assault weapons" ban would have zero impact on violent crime. Of those surveyed, 95.7% said the same of a "high capacity" magazine ban, and 79.7% said the same in response to a question on universal background checks.

Margaret Thatcher captured Americans’ hearts and minds in a way few other foreign leaders have done, and much of that was because of the symbiotic relationship she had with President Reagan — a relationship that in many ways mirrored the storied “special” friendship between the two countries. Mrs. Thatcher, who died Monday at age 87, was a tough-talking maverick who was bullish on the promise of the U.S. as a force on the international stage. Those traits appealed to Americans weary of the 1970s malaise and eager to hear reasons to believe in themselves. “She had the perfect balance between

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.
