US government openly admits arming Mexican drug gangs with 30,000 firearms

Natural News It is now a widely-reported fact that under the Obama administration, U.S. federal agents actively placed over 30,000 fully-functional weapons into the hands of Mexican drug gangs, then halted all surveillance and tracking activities of where those weapons were going. This is not a conspiracy theory, nor a piece of fiction. It is now an openly-admitted fact that this was pulled off by the BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, more commonly called "ATF") under orders from Washington. The program was called "Fast and Furious."

I know I know.. Natural news..

But Reuters is also reporting it here.

Here's how "Fast and Furious" worked: Under orders from Washington, ATF agents were specifically told to acquire these weapons using "straw" buyers in the USA, find new buyers in Mexican drug gangs, then sell the weapons and "lose track" of them. Although some agents raised concerns about the insanity, they were overruled by the higher-ups in Washington who wanted to pursue this policy for their own reasons. "It made no sense to us either, it was just what we were ordered to do, and every time we questioned that order there was punitive action," said Phoenix Special Agent John Dodson.

Absolute madness..
Why do you think the US government is doing this?

And you wonder why the President of all people is trying to get a Mexican Rapist out of prison.

Because guns are an effective way to kill people.
When times become chaos, theyve given these thugs/minions the means to help them.?

No other idea makes sense to me.

This was a false flag operation by the Obama admin that went wrong. We were supposed to "find out" that mexican druglords were buying american gun and we were supposed to go ape s**t and demand a total gun ban. The only problem is that they got caught red handed and now they don't know who to pin the blame on. Someone is going to be made a fall guy on this one because it damn sure isn't going to be Holder or Obama.

Just when you thought your US government couldn't get any dumber well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Well that is just Stupid.
And like Forest Gumps mother said " Stupid is what stupid does."

Your government is stupid.
