EDITOR OF REDSTATE

Katie Pavlich Takes on Fast and Furious

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  April 5th, 2012 at 12:22 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Our sister company Regnery Publishing (we’re both owned by Eagle Publishing, Inc.) sent me a new book to read. I am really bad these days about not reading all the books I get in — sometimes up to a dozen a week from various publishers and authors. But this one caught my eye.

Katie Pavlich, Townhall’s News Editor, has a book out entitled Fast And Furious: Barack Obama’s Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up.

I think the media has spent more time doctoring 911 calls in the Trayvon Martin matter than focusing on what has happened along the border with Mexico. There has been some coverage and it probably would not have come to light except for CBS News’s initial reporting, but the scandal — and it is a scandal — has mostly flown under the radar.

In fact, the whole war on our Southern border, the kidnappings and killings spilling over into our country, etc. really have not made major, sustained national news.

Katie Pavlich’s book, comes in at 194 pages of text, then copious end notes and indexing, provides all the background you need to know to understand what happened and what is and is not being done.

Here’s the thing — a lot of conservative activists are focused on the scandal, but many have their facts jumbled, which makes it even harder to explain just how terrible a situation it is. Katie focuses on the facts, explains what happened, and has really produced a good primer on the subject for anyone in the press or activist community who wants to understand the extent of Operation Fast and Furious.

Click here now to order a copy of the book. If you are talking about this or want to understand the scandal, you need this book.

    since I need to buy a few for summer reading.

    Maybe the media need to consult the Mexican government and the Federalis to determine what leads that have been ignored here in El Norte. Surely they have garnered facts and intel through sources. They spy just like us too.

    She really needs more exposure. She is smart, quick witted, well-spoken, and very attractive. Her twitter feed @KatiePavlich is a must follow as well. Definitely will buy the book.

    kidding of course. Along with the Martin shooting and more so here, the obscene degeneracy of the media is even more ugly. Not that it shaves a whit off their misplaced arrogance.
    I wonder if Romney or whoever will surface this in the election campaign?

    a review. They won’t buy books, you know liberals, always looking for freebies…….ehhhh and cut costs. Katie is bound to know this if not I hope someone contacts her.

    I have a close friend and trusted associate who earned his citizenship the correct way living in south Texas traveling occasionally back to Mexico to visit family. He returned home safely last night checking in with me stating his brother, a cattle farmer had been driven from his ranch and all of the cattle now gone.

    In a perfect world we would arrest and arraign all those in charge in Washington and before their trial deliver them to the border in cuffs and hobbles turning them over for prosecution there. There have been thousands of human beings that were part of someones lives killed as a result of this unbelievable action taken by our government. Do this with no possibility of a pardon.

    You are absolutely correct. This man has no business tryiing to run any department that he wants cases tried only against white people. WHAT do YOU call racist? He should have been fired long ago with the no judgement as to how to run such a department.

    Rahm Emanuel reports that he knew about the operations while he was at the White House. So the President knew as well. Not only high caliber weapons but conversion kits to make semiautomatic weapons full auto, and explosives as well and the makings for grenades and an uncounted number of rocket launchers.
    Operation Gunrunner?in which the government authorized the sale of weapons with the intent of letting these weapons fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels, which were used to Kill an American border agent.

    Operation Castaway?in which the government authorized the sale of weapons knowing they would fall into the hands of Honduran gangs, such as MS13 and the Mara Salvatrucha and the rival Mara 18, An estimated 20,590 people died violently here in the last five years, according to the Madrid-based nonprofit Observers of Violence in massive shoot outs to control the drug industry.

    Project Gangwalker the ATF and the DOF allowed the straw purchases of weapons which eventually ended up in the hands of United States gang members in Indiana? Operation Community Shield,? individuals are from El Salvador, three are from Mexico, one is from Honduras and one is from Haiti. ICE said the individuals are members or associates of the following street gangs: MS-13, Sur-13, and Zoe Pound.?

    “Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience.? ? John Locke, 1690

    ?If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.?- George Washington

    ?The thing that separates the American Christian from every other person on earth is the fact that he would rather die on his feet, than live on his knees!?. – George Washington

    “Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people?s liberty teeth and keystone under independence.” ? George Washington

    “The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.” Thomas Jefferson

    “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” – Thomas Jefferson, 1787

    Thomas Jefferson said ?When the people fear their government there is Tyranny, when the government fears the people there is Liberty?.

    “Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? … If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?”
    –Patrick Henry

    ?If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.??Samuel Adams

    When the original colonists participated in the first Boston Tea Party, they were championed by Samuel Adams, statesman, political philosopher and a Founding Father of the United States of America. Adams stood with the colonists and argued that the Tea Party was not “the act of a lawless mob, but was instead a principled protest and the only remaining option the people had to defend their constitutional rights.”

    “God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.” -Daniel Webster
