“Never let a crisis go to waste…”

Most of you don’t know or have forgotten how World War II started. September 1, 1939 was the beginning of hostilities when Germany invaded Poland. It actually started the day before when a staged attack by Nazi forces, posing as Polish soldiers, attacked the German radio station in Gleiwitz, Upper Silesia, Germany. Under the operational code name of Operation Himmler, it created the appearance of Polish aggression which was subsequently used by the Nazi’s to justify the invasion of Poland and was arguably the first act of the Second World War.



What does this all have to do with what is going on in our Country today you might ask? For starters, Obama and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are supporters of the United Nations Small Arms Treaty which, if passed in the Senate, will do an end run around our 2nd Amendment. It’s no secret that Obama, Clinton, Chuck Schumer and Mayor Bloomberg of NYC are rabid anti gunners; add to this list Attorney General Eric Holder.


And that brings me to Operation Holder and the investigation of the BATF’s operation Fast & Furious. Some of you have probably overlooked the implications of this operation and it’s ramifications. The deadly ATF operation allowed the Sinaloa drug cartel to purchase illegal guns, obtained in our Country, and used against both Mexicans and Americans for countless acts of violence. Last December, U.S. border patrol agent Brian Terry was murdered in a firefight with three Mexican nationals in Arizona. Two guns recovered at the crime scene were traced back to an ongoing Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms (ATF) investigation, informally known under the code names “Gunwalker” and “Fast and Furious.” A further investigation revealed that the ATF allowed the sale of more than 2,000 guns to Mexican criminal gangs with no plan to interdict or recover these weapons. What better venue for a UN Small Arms Treaty then a crisis on our borders? What better background to impose gun control over our free society? We should remember Obama’s former Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel’s proclamation, “Never let a good crisis go to waste”. I would add, especially when we have the will and means to create it. The election of 2012 will be the turning point in our Nation’s history. We will either stand together as Americans to save our Republic or we will abdicate to the order of national socialism, the leader of which sits in the Oval Office. The choice is yours; chose wisely.
