Fast & Furious is in the news yet again. And this time, the Spanish language television station Univision has conducted an exhaustive investigation of its own. And the findings keep getting uglier and uglier, the more we learn.
“On January 30, 2010, a commando of at least 20 hit men parked themselves outside a birthday party of high school and college students in Villas de Salvarcar, Ciudad Juarez,” according to a version of the Univision report in English, on the ABC News website (the video below is the Spanish version with subtitles - CAUTION: SOME OF IT IS VERY DISTURBING!)
“Near midnight, the assassins, later identified as hired guns for the Mexican cartel La Linea, broke into a one-story house and opened fire on a gathering of nearly 60 teenagers. Outside, lookouts gunned down a screaming neighbor and several students who had managed to escape. Fourteen young men and women were killed, and 12 more were wounded before the hit men finally fled.”
Citing a Mexican Army document it obtained and published, Univision reported that “[t]hree of the high caliber weapons fired that night in Villas de Salvarcar were linked to a gun tracing operation run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).”
That operation was Fast and Furious.“Univision News identified a total of 57 more previously unreported firearms that were bought by straw purchasers monitored by ATF during Operation Fast and Furious, and then recovered in Mexico in sites related to murders, kidnappings, and at least one other massacre,” the Univision report reads.
It's a shame that we have to learn this not from our own country but from a foreign television station. They're doing the work and providing us the information that our own DOJ REFUSES to do and to provide. Eric Holder needs to go and this whole Obama administration needs to go on 6 November. We simply cannot afford to have a corrupt government anymore! We cannot afford to reward individuals with more time on the job when they have willfully broken the law, disobeyed the law, overridden our Constitution by executive 'privilege', and refused to comply with requests made by our Congress and the American people, thus costing us more time, money, and lives. Eric Holder should be disbarred, plain and simple, and possibly thrown in jail. The whole of DOJ needs to be swept clean of domestic enemies, which is how they're behaving with their non-action. The WH needs to be swept clean, fumigated, and then swept clean again. It is so full of moral degradation, high-mindedness, and disrespect for the office of the presidency and for the American people, it's founding documents, and its laws.
And let us not forget Brian Terry and his family, who are continuing to suffer because they cannot get the justice they deserve. We should hang these posters up in every Post Office and bulletin across the country until something gets done.

The network also uncovered another Fast and Furious weapons “massacre.” On September 2, 2009, 18 young men were killed at “El Aliviane, a rehabilitation center in Ciudad Juarez,” according to the report.
Univision found many of these victims through “access to the list of serial numbers for weapons used in Fast and Furious” and the “list of guns seized in Mexico,” according to English subtitles on the Spanish-language video.
“After cross-referencing them both lists, it became clear that a least a hundred of them were used in crimes of all kinds,” the subtitles read. “We found 57 weapons that were not mentioned in [the U.S.] Congress’ investigation.”

The body count of dead Mexicans continues to mount as a result of Fast and Furious. And, to date we have two dead Americans having died in service to America as a result of Fast and Furious. Ultimately Eric Holder must go. The buck stops at his desk for the egregious malfeasance of this program. There is no other alternative. Holder must resign or be fired.
