From Prison Planet: As we have exhaustively documented, the whole argument surrounding what Holder knew and when he knew it is largely a smokescreen to hide the explosive probability that Fast and Furious was deliberately designed as an effort to demonize gun ownership in the United States and introduce Second Amendment-gutting legislation. Last year, one of the kingpins of the infamous Los Zetas drug running gang told Mexican federal police that the group purchased its weapons directly from U.S. government officials inside America. This, in addition to the administration’s admission that the guns were not tracked when they reached the border, strongly suggests that the program had little or nothing to do with identifying drug gangs. Before the scandal erupted, the Obama administration repeatedly invoked rhetoric about the flow of guns being smuggled from the U.S. into Mexico as a talking point with which to chill gun rights of American citizens, repeating the demonstrably false myth that 90% of weapons confiscated by Mexican authorities originate in the U.S. During a March 30 2011 meeting between Jim and Sarah Brady and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, at which Obama “dropped in,” the president reportedly told Brady, “I just want you to know that we are working on it (gun control)….We have to go through a few processes, but under the radar.” The quote appeared in an April 11 Washington Post story about Obama’s gun control czar Steve Croley. As an Investors.com article documents, this “under the radar” sneak attack on the second amendment most likely had Fast and Furious at its core as part of a deliberate plot to sabotage gun rights. It is this aspect of the whole Fast and Furious controversy – the notion that it was a deliberately engineered plot by the Obama administration to curtail the second amendment – that Obama is so keen to keep under wraps by doing exactly what he attacked the previous administration for doing back in 2007 – hiding behind executive privilege to cover up a scandal that threatens to dwarf Watergate.
