Fast and Furious: A Prequel

Civil Liberties – Travis McCrea: Our latest Wikileaks release shows that the United States is assassinating Mexicans without trial, and the ATF gunwalking scandal may have just been the latest controversy in a longer chain of corruption.

Many know about the US Alcohol, Tabacco, and Firearms (ATF) Gunwalking scandal, better known as the “Fast and Furious” campaign which has been sweeping the media recently. However, according to an email in the Wikileaks Global Intelligence Files, it may have been more than just guns that the United States was pushing into Mexico. Mr. Burton an employee of Stratfor, emailed the secure mailing list stating that he had information that a US Congressman, TV Network, and potentially 60 Minutes (a TV News Magainze) were all looking into the possibility that President Calderon of Mexico was corrupt and the Sinaloa Cartel being the true runners of Mexico.

The only people who know the details of this story are the congressperson, or these unnamed reporters. However, the tough question now must be asked: has Calderon’s war on drugs in Mexico, been to secure the Sinaloa’s place on the foodchain?

** not for pub ** pls do not forward **According to a US Congressman, a major network and possibly 60 Minutes

are very discreetly nosing around on the corruption allegations against

Calderon and him being owned and operated by the Sinaloa. The story

will focus on Caledron being dirty, but dovetail into the Sinaloa Cartel

running Mexico, not the Mexican government. The Congressman expects the

story to cause foreign AND domestic policy problems for the Obomo

Administration since we are flooding the MX Cartel nation w/U.S.

tax-payer dollars…

It doesn’t answer the question, but further emails let us see that President Calderon is open to CIA/DEA assasinations of Mexican citizens… as long as he maintains plausible deniability.

** not for pub – pls do not forward ** sole source informationObama won’t approve a finding for covert action inside MX based on

“moral ground”. Calderon has told a few that violence has reached a

point that he would turn a blind eye to unilateral CIA or DEA actions,

if they wanted to go down that path, as long as he has “plausible

deniability.”One of the scenarios discussed to kill El Chapo or other Zeta HVT’s was

a 1000 yard head shot by a U.S. shooter, to plant the seed of paranoia

in the minds of the narcos as to who pulled the trigger.

CIA “Ground Branch” assets and/or DEA SO have stated they have the

ability and intelligence to pull it off without getting caught.

(Emails thanks to Wikileaks, and come from the stratfor files)

With the recent murder of US ambassadors, it raises the question if perhaps the federal police are tired of working for the United States. Recently Mexico received over 1.5 billion US dollars to help the drug war (and as we see above, to help train mexico’s military to assassinate it’s own citizens).

This leak opens more questions up than answers them: How many Mexican citizens have US military killed? What happened to the reporting on this story by 60 Minutes? Whose team is Calderon really on? When the leader of a country is willing to turn his head the other way as his citizens are murdered by a foreign nation, without any due process… What else is he, and his government, capable of?
