Shocking allegation about ‘Fast and Furious’


A high-ranking Mexican drug cartel operative in U.S. custody says the failed federal operation known as “Fast and Furious” wasn’t about tracking guns at all, reports the Blaze, conservative commentator Glenn Beck’s website.

Jesus Vicente Zambada-Niebla, known as the Sinaloa Cartel’s “logistics coordinator,” says it was about supplying guns — part of a deal between the U.S. government and Mexico’s powerful Sinaloa Cartel to take down rival cartels.

Zambada-Niebla, who was extradited to the Chicago last year to face federal drug charges, claims that under a “divide and conquer” strategy, the U.S. helped finance and arm the Sinaloa Cartel through Operation Fast and Furious in exchange for intelligence on rival cartels.

He adds that the cartel was allowed to traffic massive amounts of drugs across the U.S. border from 2004 to 2009 as long as the intel kept coming.

A soruce in Congress tells the Blaze that some lawmakers are closely watching the case against Zambada-Niebla to see whether any of his claims are substantiated.

I do believe this goes all the way back to WW2 for control of the poppy plants and trade to infect the world with drugs and dumding down the planet.

We are still doing it today as the poppy plants and trade in Afghanistan is still growing.
