IPerhaps even to deepen that my suggestion is that perhaps if we are all so susceptible to coverups that so are many government officials--leading to a further suggestion that maybe this isn't an endemic problem with government so much as it is one with individual people. You keep circling back to this idea of me not believing that there is a problem.
Well I do--I just don't believe that the nature of it it is so dire as you would have us believe.
.
The problem being that it IS an endemic , indeed a systemic problem. What makes you think that the well known examples I cite are the only ones.
It has become CUSTOMARY for our politicos and our govt to conceal things from the populace , and to attempt to continue to do so after they've been caught out Red Handed at it.
Do I need to say " Fast and Furious" or " Gunwalker Scandal"?
You mean to tell me that you actually think that piece of shit Holder is truthful on all this ? Really? Spent any time south of the line have ya? Sorry but I *know* where the majority of the weapons in South and Central America come from. And it sure as HELL ain't from this side of the line................YAH all those ComBloc Aks and SKSs came from the States....sure they did...............there haven't been various and sundry Revolutions , Coups and insurgencies fostered by ComBloc countries over the years...uh UH couldn't happen , there just couldn't be Soviet flagged freighters sitting in the Barranquilla or Cartagena harbors with freaking shipping containers FULL of surplus hardware.........
And this ties back to the 2nd Amendment issues and your opinion that I'm batshit crazy for being of the opinion that they'll eventually make a concerted attempt to disarm the populace. Look around you , it's already happening on a gradual basis and from a variety of angles. Example: take a close look at NJ's ridiculous ammunition laws. And yes I can provide myriad other examples.
Hows about the .50 bmg rifle controversy , find me a SINGLE crime commited in this country with a .50 bmg rifle.........YAHHHH a guy is going to walk into a 7/11 and rob it with a 24 lb and up rifle with a 28-34 inch barrel.................that costs 5 grand and UP mostly UP. Care to discuss magazine capacity laws,,,,,,,,,,GOLLY but they really " cut down on crime" didn't they?
Maybe you'd care to discuss the events surrounding the Lake Falcon shooting , why it occured and what has gone on afterwards , including what HAS NOT made the National Press.
Like the 42 foot Donzi that turned up on the boatslip with 5 dead Smugglers , a couple million in cash and 400 keys of blow? Found after an anonymous call to DPS and the Rangers , shot from distance with a 7.62 x 51.................think someone was sending a MESSAGE? If they had been thieves they'd have taken the blow and the money. Now ask yourselves where the media was on that one.
Straight up , and for perspective I'm *originally* from Texas , I have friends and relatives all up and down the border , it's a freaking WAR zone , the days of running across the line to Ojinaga for a great bowl of Posole are OVER , now Ojinaga is a place that the Federales and the M.A. won't go into except in force , and where they find such wonderful things in a local butcher shop as 14 guys hanging head down with their heads lined neatly up on a table.
Lets tie this all into the basic reason we're here. Do you have ANY idea what would happen to YOU if ya got caught growing within say Los Aztecas , Sinaloa Cartel , Pinche'Boyz etc territory? You would DIE , adn it wouldn't be an easy death.
Or hey we could talk specifically about Columbia and the WHY of Pablo Escobar , who was nothing more than a ***sacrificial goat*** handed out to satisfy OUR Feds. BANK that one. FOLLOW the freaking money.
I'm letting out a great deal more here than I should , suffice to say that I have a great deal of experience down there , and what we're fed here is pureD and complete B U L L S H I T.
The Coca trade is *now* mostly controlled/owned by FARC , they OWN the backcountry , they now OWN the backcountry FlyIn towns where the Combian Army won't GO , and it's pf very little difference in Ecuador , Bolivia and Peru...........the latter having the spectre of the Sendero Luminoso re-appearing.
Again ****follow the money****........
