Last week it was reported that
the State Department and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were deeply involved in the scandal known as
Operation Fast and Furious, or
Project Gunwalker.
Today, however, new evidence has surfaced indicating that not only was
Hillary deeply involved in the scandal but was one of the masterminds
behind it. According to investigative citizen journalist
Mike Vanderboegh,
sources close to the development of the Gunwalker scheme state that
early on, Hillary and her trusted associated at State, Andrew J.
Shapiro, devised at least part of the framework of what would later
become Operation Fast and Furious. It was Shapiro who first described
the details of the proposed scheme early in 2009 just after the Obama
Administration took office. Vanderboegh relates the following:
My sources say that as Hillary’s trusted subordinate, it was Shapiro who
first described to the Secretary of State the details of what has
become the Gunwalker Scandal. The precise extent to which
Hillary Clinton‘s
knowledge of, and responsibility for, the Gunwalker Plot, lies within
the memories of these two men, Shapiro and Steinberg, sources say. The
sources also express dismay that the Issa committee is apparently
restricting itself to the Department of Justice and not venturing
further afield. The House Foreign Affairs Committee, they say, needs to
summon these two men and their subordinates — especially at the Mexico
Desk at State — and question them under oath as to what Hillary Clinton
knew about the origins of the Gunwalker Scandal and when she knew it.
There is one other thing those sources agree upon. The CIA, they say,
knows “everything” about the “Mexican hat dance” that became the
Gunwalker Scandal.
The ‘Steinberg’ mentioned in the quote above is Hillary Clinton’s former
Deputy Secretary of State, who was appointed directly by Barack Obama
and was considered from the start to be an ‘Obama man’ whose objective
was to carry out the wishes of the President in the
State Department. Hillary had said of Steinberg,
Clinton said Steinberg had been a “fixture” at meetings with the
National Security Council (NSC) and frequently represented the US State
Department at the White House.
That statement is key. Hillary herself stayed out of all meetings
dealing with strategy concerning the euphemism the Administration used
to designate Gunwalker, ‘strategy meetings on Mexico and the problem of
drug and gun trafficking.’ Hillary’s absence would give the impression
that she had no connection to the scheme while making sure that her
views were represented by Steinberg and Shapiro, both of whom were fully
complicit with the details that developed concerning how to pad
statistics on U.S. guns in Mexico. According to sources, Hillary was
obsessed with gun statistics that would prove that ’90% of the firearms
used by Mexican criminals come from the United States.’ As previouly
reported, that meme, repeated incessantly by Democratic Senators, Barack
Obama, certan members of the ATF, Janet Napolitano, and Hillary Clinton
was
patently and blatantly false.
The fact that they all knew it was false is borne out by the lengths to
which each of the above named co-conspirators went to attempt to
‘prove’ that the 90% figure was true. Again, Vanderboegh relates the
following:
My sources say that this battle of the “statistics” was taken very
seriously by all players — the White House, State and Justice. Yet, WHY
was this game of statistics so important to the players? If some weapons
from the American civilian market were making it to Mexico into the
hand of drug gang killers that was bad enough. What was the importance
of insisting that it was 90 percent, 80 percent, or finally 70 percent?
Would such statistics make any difference to the law enforcement tactics
necessary to curtail them? No. This statistics mania is similar to the
focus on “body counts” in Vietnam. Yet if Vietnam body counts were
supposed to be a measure of how we were winning that war, the focus on
the 90 percent meme was certainly not designed to be a measure of how we
were winning the war against arming the cartels, but rather by what
overwhelming standard we were LOSING. Why?
Recall what
the whistleblower ATF agents told us right after this scandal broke in
the wake of the death of Brian Terry: “ATF source confirms ‘walking’
guns to Mexico to ‘pad’ statistics.”
Thus, from the beginning the scheme was to pad statistics on U.S. guns
in Mexico in order to be in a strengthened position to call for gun bans
and strict gun control at a time when it was politically unpopular.
Further, the scheme would involve a made-up statistic, out of thin
air–90%–which then had to be proved by using civilian gun retailers
along the southern border as unsuspecting pawns to walk U.S. guns into
Mexico by ATF agents, straw purchasers, and others with connections to
Mexican drug cartels. And the evidence points to the fact that Hillary
Clinton was one of the original Administration officials who was ‘in the
loop’ on the scheme from the very beginning. Be sure to catch my blog
