Weapons For Mexico

If you listening to Obama and his minions you would think that American gun dealers are responsible for arming the Mexican Cartels. We have all come to know that the biggest American source of weapons for the Cartels is the (run amok) Justice Department using their ATF assets to smuggle guns to Mexico. But we have long said that the biggest suppliers of weapons is from other world sources such as the old Warsaw Pact countries and other third world countries. Here is an article from Fox News articulating that:

Mexican authorities make record arms seizure, FOX News, November 28, 2011

Mexico City – A shipping container with 900 firearms hidden inside was seized by authorities in the Mexican Pacific port of Lazaro Cardenas, the Navy Secretariat and the Attorney General's Office said in a joint statement.

The container arrived in Mexico from Turkey and was bound for Nicaragua.

The record arms seizure was made in an operation involving marines, AG's office personnel and customs service agents in Lazaro Cardenas, which is in the western state of Michoacan.

Authorities found 154 9 mm pistols, a 7.55 mm pistol and 756 12-gauge shotguns inside the container.

The container and its cargo were turned over to federal prosecutors, who will conduct the investigation.

The operation was part of a larger effort to crack down on arms trafficking and prevent drug traffickers and other organized crime groups from acquiring weapons, the AG's office and the Navy Secretariat said.

Obama's Buddy Sentanced to Prison

Finally, someone has published an article on Antoin Rezko, being sentenced to prison, and linking Obama to his buddy. Previous articles in newspaper appeared on page 7 or even further back, and only linking Rezko to corrupt Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich,...and not Obama. Come to think about it, I think start calling Obama, Blagojevich and Rezko as the three Scamateers!

The Young Republican Network posted an article from the examiner.com at their site, titled “Obama friend and fundraiser sentenced to 10 years imprisonment”:

Of interesting (but not surprising) note is that the mainstream media coverage of Rezko’s sentence this afternoon fails to mention his close ties to the president. A number of headlines describe Rezko as a Blagojevich political fundraiser and adviser, but conspicuously absent is any mention of Obama."

President Obama’s close friend and longtime financial supporter, Chicago businessman Antoin Rezko, was sentenced on November 22 to 101/2 years in prison for operating a massive corruption scheme in which he extorted millions of dollars in kickbacks from investment firms seeking state business.

Media critics have complained that reporters and commentators were too busy discussing unproven sex scandals and unsubstantiated claims against Republican candidates to cover the punishment of another associate of President Barack Obama.

For years Rezko was a major donor and adviser to convicted Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, but his name first surfaced on the national scene during the 2008 presidential election because then-candidate Obama had received hefty campaign contributions from him and the two were longtime pals, according to investigations conducted by the non-partisan Judicial Watch.

In fact, Rezko subsidized a $1.65 million home Obama purchased in Chicago’s South side in 2005 and he hosted a fundraiser for the then- U.S. Senator Obama.

When the feds charged Rezko with extortion, influence peddling and conspiracy, Obama vowed to return all the tainted money - at least $200,000 by some accounts - that his buddy had given him. Rezko was also accused of obtaining a $10.5 million loan from GE Capital through fraud and swindling of group investors.

The Syrian-born businessman has been in jail since his June 2008 conviction but his sentencing was delayed because he was scheduled to testify in Blagojevich’s 2010 corruption trial and retrial this past summer.

Judicial Watch covered both Chicago federal trials, which prominently mentioned Obama and his former chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, who left the post to become the city’s mayor.

"That’s because Blagojevich tried to sell the U.S. Senate seat vacated when Obama got elected president. Obama wanted his close friend Valerie Jarrett to finish his senate term and, as Illinois governor, Blagojevich had the power to make it happen. In return, he wanted a federal job that paid a lot of money or some sort of foreign ambassadorship that could lead to bigger and better things," stated the Judicial Watch blogger.

A federal jury ended up convicting Blagojevich of 17 corruption charges and the disgraced former governor is scheduled to be sentenced in early December. He will join an all-star lineup of crooked Illinois politicians when he becomes the state’s fourth governor to serve time for corruption in the last three decades.

Of interesting (but not surprising) note is that the mainstream media coverage of Rezko’s sentence this afternoon fails to mention his close ties to the president. A number of headlines describe Rezko as a Blagojevich political fundraiser and adviser, but conspicuously absent is any mention of Obama.

A Hero Twice Over

Most people will recognize the name of U.S. Marine Sergeant Dakota Meyer who was recently awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions in Afghanistan. Well it seems that Sgt Meyer is a hero again, this time going up against the Government-Military Industrial connection trying to send top quality military equipment to Pakistan,.....Pakistan who hates our guts. Read the article below from Yahoo! news:

In September, President Obama awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation's most prestigious military award, to Sgt. Dakota Meyer, the marine who saved 36 of his comrades during an ambush in Afghanistan.

Obama called Meyer one of the most "down-to-earth guys that you will ever meet."

But today Meyer, 23, is having trouble getting a job because of allegations by defense contractor BAE Systems that he has a drinking problem and is mentally unstable. Meyer filed legal papers Monday claiming the allegations were in retaliation for objections he raised about BAE's alleged decision to sell high-tech sniper scopes to the Pakistani military.

After leaving active duty in May 2010, Meyer worked at Ausgar Technologies, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business in California, until April 2011.

"He exhibited a maturity for his age and an insightful capability to get the job done and provide recommendations to improve on what we are doing. I was very impressed while he was working for us. He was an outstanding employee," Tom Grant, a retired military naval officer and a senior program manager at Ausgar Technologies, told ABC News.

When asked about the allegations of mental instability and a drinking problem, Grant said, "While Meyer was working for me, I never saw evidence of either of those issues."

In March 2011, Meyer began working at BAE Systems, a British military contracting company, where he learned the company was trying to sell advanced thermal optic scopes to the Pakistani military.

"We are taking the best gear, the best technology on the market to date and giving it to guys known to stab us in the back," Meyer wrote to BAE Systems manager Bobby McCreight, his former co-worker, according to the lawsuit. "These are the same people killing our guys."

But BAE Systems is claiming that that decision is not up to them.

"The U.S. Department of State, not BAE Systems, makes the decision on what defense-related products can be exported. In recent years, the U.S. Government has approved the export of defense-related goods from numerous defense companies to Pakistan as part of the United States' bilateral relationship with that country," said Brian J. Roehrkasse, the vice president of public relations at BAE, in a statement.

In May 2011, Meyer gave his two weeks notice to BAE Systems and applied to return to Ausgar Technologies. He was approved by the U.S. government for the job, but the Ausgar hiring manager informed Meyer that he would not be hired because of allegations made by former marine McCreight.

Meyer is now suing McCreight for telling "the government program manager that Mr. Meyer should not be hired for reasons that are false and defamatory," according to Meyer's original petition.

According to Roehrkasse, BAE Systems strongly disagrees with Meyer's claims and intends to "vigorously defend [themselves] through the appropriate legal process."
