In all its glory, it sits at Ciudad Juarez on the Mexican side of the border facing the city of El Paso, Texas across the international bridge. This not-so-stunning display of ignorance on the part of the President of Mexico’s administration was unveiled last week. This latest bit of propaganda, weighing in at 3 tons, has letters that are fashioned from destroyed confiscated weapons, according to Mexican officials.

As most of you who have been keeping up with this here at The Right Scoop are aware, we have been following and reporting the debacles known as “fast & furious” and “gunrunner”, as well as the hearings chaired by Rep. Darrell Issa. The bogus claims and “fudged” numbers related to the sources of the flow of weapons have been thoroughly debunked and the cavalier attitude and criminal behavior of Holder’s Justice Department have been exposed for all the nation to see, so I will not belabor the point further.

However, if you need to have things reaffirmed, you can find a scathing report from July 2011 at NRA-ILA, or just type gunrunner or fast and furious into the search box at the top right hand corner here at TRS. November cannot get here fast enough which brings me to a question that I would ask of the four remaining GOP candidates: “If elected, will you investigate and prosecute all those involved, regardless of office and secure justice for slain Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry, his family and all victims of these heinously careless and deliberately negligent Justice Department operations?” I would hope and pray that every one of them would answer in the resolute affirmative.

I don’t know if we have enough rope to deal with this properly.

You can read further on this story at the NRA-ILA site, as well as the local CBS-Houston affiliate.

    “I don’t know if we have enough rope to deal with this properly.”—My sentiments exactly.

    • UpChuck.Liberals NoBO12

      Nice thing about rope…..it can be reused, over and over and over……

  • http://twitter.com/ozziecastillo Ozzie

    They are proceeding with the lie to limit the 2nd amendment by pretending they weren’t caught red-handed, and the media is helping them get away with it.

    This is criminal and just another example of what I would call treasonous behavior. Unfortunately, this administration has sapped my outrage….I’m all out, I can’t be surprised anymore.

    • Sober_Thinking

      Well-said.

      I still have outrage in my blood. And when my liberal family and friends tell me not to take everything so seriously, I’ll remind them of this and the other 100 treasonous things this administration has done to tarnish and destroy this great nation.

      And then my outrage will be reignited. Again.

      • Nukeman60

        I agree with you wholeheartedly. When my liberal family makes those idiotic statements, I fly into the ceiling. What’s wrong with these people is they aren’t being hit personally (yet), and therefore it really isn’t as important as missing the next American Idol. When it is important to them, it will be too late to do something about it.

        • Sober_Thinking

          You’re right. They will already be in the net…

          • GretaN

            First ones into the boxcars…

    • tvlgds

      I thought the Klintonistas were bad. This administration takes treason and corruption to a whole new level. Holder needs to be incarcerated for the rest of his life. A civilian behind Fast and Furious would never see the light of day and would have already been in prison. Then there’s the New Black Panther voter intimidation that he refused to prosecute. Had it been the KKK, they’d have also been in prison 3 yrs ago! I don’t know what it’s going to take for the Nobamessiah worshipers to open their eyes and see what a farce he is!

    • NYGino

      Ozzie, you hit it. This message has only one purpose but two parents. The anti second amendment stance, if you think about it is quite obvious. The originators, in my opinion, are the Mexican Government and the corrupt regime in our White House.

      Both have a horse in this race.

      The Mexican government (cartels) would love to have gun ownership in our country lessened for obvious reasons and our government would rather not have an armed populace to deal with as they advance us towards socialism and Marxism.

      The founding Fathers warned us about both scenarios.

  • DCGere

    I feel so bad for Agent Terry’s family….that Holder et al have been allowed to get away with this is just criminal. Holder is a POS!

  • Sober_Thinking

    Well said Scoop. This remains a huge black eye for America. Much worse and MUCH more important than condoms, Whitney’s passing, Maobama singing the blues, and even Korans being burned. We have to get to the root of this heinous crime and Holder should be arrested.

    All the other crap the media focuses on only aides their boy Maobama by distracting from the REAL issues. What a pathetic thing to let this go on so long…

  • denbren52

    We need to keep pounding away at this issue until, at the very least, Eric Holder loses his job whether it be by resignation or impeachment. Then we need to go after his boss. Hopefully we won’t have to go any further than the ballot box to deal with him.

    • keyesforpres

      Whoever wins, NEEDS to put Alan Keyes in charge of the Justice Dept. He will go after all of them. He would even go after O for not being eligible to hold the office of the presidency.

  • TENCOLE

    RS…..I respect your passion for this subject….it’s a passion for me too….but I wouldn’t hold my brreath about that “question” for the candidates.
    We can’t even get the reporters to ask the candidates “what about the economy?”…..let alone anything about Fast and furious. *sigh*

  • kansasguy

    You lose me on this one. Who can blame the Mexicans for making a sign like this when the Obama Regime intentionally sent guns into Mexico without informing the Mexican government?

    • http://twitter.com/ozziecastillo Ozzie

      When their President comes here and lectures America about immigration in Congress, and does nothing for his own people or ours with regard to that issue; it shows he is playing a political game and is allied with the American 5th column.

    • KenInMontana

      Then you have missed the entire point or you have chosen to remain ignorant on this subject. The lion’s share of the firepower acquired and employed by the Mexican cartels come from either Mexican government armories or from the armories of several Central and South American regimes. Add to this weapons “acquired” in the Asian blackmarkets, the numbers of weapons originating from US markets is in truth quite small, even including the weapons that the Departments of Justice and State allowed to “walk” over the border. I am sure you have at some point heard of the Zeta cartel (at least I would hope so), the very name “Zeta” refers to the cartel’s origins, they were Mexican Special Forces that began by hiring themselves out as muscle for the various cartels that then decided they could get richer by taking over one of the larger cartels, which they did in bloody efficient fashion. The Mexican government has repeatedly interjected itself into the ongoing internal assault on our Constitutional rights by this administration of our own government and into the subject of the security of our borders and immigration laws, while ignoring their own massive shortcomings in these areas where their own people are concerned. In short they should be cleaning up the mess that their own corruption and greed have exacerbated in to this crisis. A crisis of their own making.

      • tvlgds

        something that we can’t forget is that OUR special forces TRAINED the Zetas! ‘Course we didn’t know they’d turn to the cartels, but we should expect it. We train forces around the world, sell our technology to other goobermints, and then they all turn against us (with the exception of Israel!)

        • KenInMontana

          Yes we did train them, but they were “screened” by the Mexican government and military prior to their acceptance into that unit. However, it was not the entire unit that went rogue, but one team, and a personal choice is a personal choice. That said I don’t hold either government responsible for their “defection”, but I do hold the Mexican government responsible for the fostering the atmosphere of corruption that actually led to this,while they did little or nothing to stomp it out before it reached the epidemic level it has.

          • tvlgds

            Screening by the MX goobermint is like putting the fox in charge of the hen house! :) They’ve been corrupt as far back as I can remember and it’s more out of control than ever. I have to say ours is too–why in the WORLD should we be putting signs up in AZ warning AMERICANS to stay away because the drug and human traffickers have taken it over? (Rhetorical question!) We should have our troops down there mowing every one of them down and taking our country back.

      • kansasguy

        I have neither missed the point nor am I ignorant. I know that when Obama went to Mexico in 2009 and said that 90% of the guns used in violent crimes were from Mexico, he was lying. He and Holder then set out to prove his assertion by allowing guns to cross into Mexico via Fast and Furious, all in an effort to undermine the Second Amendment. I agree that Mexico is corrupt and has created its own problems. I also agree that Calderone’s speech to Congress, and the Democrats applause of it, was despicable. However, you either miss or intentionally ignore my point that Obama and Holder have cynically contributed to the problem. Were it not for Holder’s lying and stonewalling, federal government employees pleading the Fifth, and a corrupt legacy media, American citizens would know the complete story of Fast and Furious. In the Watergate scandal, Deep Throat advised Woodward to follow the money. With this administration, follow the politics. Only one person in the Fast and Furious scandal is a politician and, notwithstanding his claims to the contrary, the orders came from him. Americans cannot vote in Mexico, but we can vote out American politicians who behave as Obama has.

        • KenInMontana

          I did not say you were ignorant, I posited that you had perhaps “chosen to remain ignorant on this issue”. There is a difference. Look at who is supporting the UN Small Arms Treaty, that’s the “money trail”. W rebuffed the UN’s push for this treaty, he punctuated that rejection by sending Bolton to the UN. This is an assault, not only on our rights, but our very sovereignty and this sign is nothing more than Calderone’s contribution to the propaganda campaign of that assault.

          • kansasguy

            I have no idea who you support for president, but you might find Gingrich’s speech to the NRA worthy of hearing:

  • JoeMontana16

    I don’t want holder or any of the other guilty parties to be fired. I don’t want them impeached either. I want a trial. I want a prosecution. I want jail time. That’s what happens to us when we get people killed.

    Seems to me, the intelligence was right after all….

  • PVG

    Hmm, I wonder, did the great apologizer in chief utter so much as a word of sympathy to agent Terry’s family?

    • tvlgds

      Oh hell no!

  • 911Infidel

    Sure we have enough rope. We should do what the Romans wanted to do to Nero, and then hang them by a crane, tree or whatever.

  • Jay

    This is a sign (no pun intended) of the collusion between the corrupt Mexican goverment and the crooks in ours. Both of these tyrannical entities fear the honest citizenry who would oppose them in their mutual quest for unlimited power.

  • librtifirst

    What I don’t quite get, yet, is why the Mexican president wants to disarm the US. He knows that guns flow into Mexico from all over the place. The cartels don’t rely on the FBI for guns. What does he care if we own guns? I can only surmise that his belligerence toward our second amendment rights is somehow tied into the globalist agenda to disarm the citizens of the world. I don’t see any other real excuse. Their government is as criminal as it gets, so maybe he just wants to erase the US/Mexican border under the auspice of the North American Union.

    • tvlgds

      He no more wants to stop the flow of guns than he does the drugs. Their goobermint and ours make way too much money on the drug trade to EVER stop it. The “war on drugs” has been a grand lie for decades.

    • KenInMontana

      UN Small Arms Treaty.

      • librtifirst

        So their president is a huge globalist looking to disarm the US for the purpose of global consumption of US sovereignty. Makes sense.

  • rickth

    I’m 65, semi retired business owner, republican, etc etc., disgusted with bureaucrats. My America is gone, and I think there is such a large voting bloc of people dependent on uncle sam, I think the game’s over. I’m looking for another country to live in for at least the next four years because I think we’re done for this time around. I keep hoping the CIA will step up to the plate again like in 1963, but it’s doubtful.

    • librtifirst

      Our politicians seem to have second homes in Switzerland. That might be because they will get sanctuary there. It is probably more expensive than most can afford. Jesse Ventura actually found a good place in Mexico to avoid the coming martial law after a financial collapse. Others have found places in S America. I’m stuck here, due to family I’m helping take care of.

      I would hate to be 65 years old going into this. My grandmother is 85, and may very well see the next, and worst, great depression. If you don’t move, I suggest that you stock up on long term food storage, amongst other things.
