Worse Than Gunwalker? State Dept. Allegedly Sold Guns to Zetas
It’s a stunning allegation that makes the other gunrunning scandals look like child’s play.
July 22, 2011 - 10:35 am - Bob Owens
Phil Jordan, a former CIA operative and one-time leader of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center, claims that the Obama administration is running guns to the violent Zetas cartel through the direct commercial sale of military grade weapons:
Jordan, who served as director of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center in 1995, said the Zetas have shipped large amounts of weapons purchased in the Dallas area through El Paso.
Robert “Tosh” Plumlee, a former CIA contract pilot, told the Times he supported Jordan’s allegations, adding that the Zetas have reportedly bought property in the Columbus, N.M., border region to stash weapons and other contraband.
“From the intel, it appears that a company was set up in Mexico to purchase weapons through the U.S. Direct Commercial Sales Program, and that the company may have had a direct link to the Zetas.”
The U.S. Direct Commercial Sales program is run from the U.S. State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. It regulates and licenses private U.S. companies’ overseas sales of weapons and other defense materials, defense services, and military training. This does not include the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program, which authorized sales to foreign governments.
An El Paso Times article – as of now ignored by mainstream media — went into much more shocking detail:
“They’ve found anti-aircraft weapons and hand grenades from the Vietnam War era,” Plumlee said. Other weapons found include grenade launchers, assault rifles, handguns and military gear including night-vision goggles and body armor.
“The information about the arms trafficking was provided to our U.S. authorities long before the ‘Columbus 11′ investigation began,” said Plumlee, referring to recent indictments accusing several Columbus city officials of arms trafficking in conjunction with alleged accomplices in El Paso and Chaparral, N.M.
Jesús Rejón Aguilar, the number three man in the Zeta’s hierarchy, disclosed last week that the Zetas bought weapons in the United States and transported them across the Rio Grande. Mexican federal authorities captured Rejón on July 3 in the state of Mexico, and presented him to the news media the next day. His recorded video statement was uploaded on YouTube.
Jordan agreed with Plumlee’s allegations that the Zetas are operating in the Columbus-Palomas border.
Plumlee, who has testified before U.S. congressional committees about arms and drug trafficking, said the roads in Southern New Mexico provide smugglers easy access to Mexico’s highway networks.
Insight.org provides a map of the air-smuggling route originating in Dallas at Alliance Airport and ending in Columbus, New Mexico — a small town that has also been rocked by the arrests and guilty pleas of the town mayor and other elected officials who were running guns to a cartel safehouse, and then apparently into Mexico.
There is no direct link made as of yet between the Columbus, NM, officials case and the allegations of the Dallas-to-Columbus air smuggling route, but the possible connection should raise eyebrows.

That is why we send elected officials to Washington, known as Congress, and THEY REFUSE TO DO THEIR JOB.

I am in constant contact with my Senators and Congressman, and with a good many others where I am not even a constituent. It DOESN'T MATTER. I am a sovereign entity, a natural-born citizen of the United States, and am being railroaded by an imposter WHO IS NOT, and a complicit Congress that has a hard time just picking it's nose right and refuses to acknowledge the Rule of Law and their Oath of Office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Frankly, there are MILLIONS who are sick of this, and something WILL BE DONE, or we will be LOST FOREVER, just another sad story on the ash-heap of history already littered with the corpses of many millions of other victims of central-government planning, socialism, Marxism, Communism, whatever you wish to call it. It all results in the same thing. That is the course this "administration" is forcing us down, and I will do everything in my power to prevent that from happening.
It sure would be nice for you to join with many millions of American citzens to prevent that from happening.

James,
As you may know, I am a state senator representing District 28 in the Oregon Legislature. Having said that, I agree with much of your evaluation and I too encourage our Congressional delegation to stand back and look at the entire picture. I too worry that this great nation is being lead down a path of near certain destruction. I too believe that the majority parties appear to be impotent to this very real threat. Please continue to speak out and continue to lead he political opposition.

Dear Rep. Vickers: Thank you for your reply. Perhaps if you took a minute to review the information I included in the first sentence of my original email, you might think again about "crazy allegations." I know exactly where you are, and this message was sent to over 7500 elected officials across the nation, including Mr. Matheson, and for a specific reason; It is through the explicit INACTION of ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS that we are now at a point of no-return. It will be ONLY through the concerted action of committed Patriots and Americans that we can stop the onslaught against our Constitution and Rule of Law by foreign entities, including one Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro/that dead guy in Connecticut whose SS# he is using. Sounds conspiritorial, doesn't it?
Only if you believe the string of lies from someone who was supposedly editor of the Harvard Law Review...who never wrote a word there...nobody from Columbia University who remembers him...except the Saudi prince who donated millions...IT'S REALLY HARD TO RUN AWAY FROM DOCUMENTED FACTS AND THE SMALL THING WE CALL "EVIDENCE OF CRIMINAL FRAUD."
Have a great day.

You obviously have no idea who you are communicating with. I am in the STATE House of Representatives in Utah not congress. I would suggest you find out who you want to contact before you start making crazy accusations. Please don't contact me again with this.

Dear Representative Vickers,
please review this link: http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=316749 and then explain again to me why Congress is unwilling to do it's Constitutional duty and begin immediate hearings based on a preponderance of evidence? Presented by well-known and respected experts in their field? Has there been a threat? Fear of reprisal?
This is not the only expert to come out with this evidence. Some were actual supporters of this regime.
Explain again, as I am just a simple man, why it is that a man with no discernable past and very questionable associations ( at least the ones we're AWARE OF) can just get away with crippling the economy, de-value our currency, cripple our military while involving us in an illegal and unneccesary war he had no legal business in starting...it's a very long list indeed. He is following the Marxist-Leninist-Alinsky model to the LETTER and is EXCUSED FOR IT.
He bypasses Congress on a regular basis, using Executive Orders when he feels like it, and just IGNORES YOU at other times just because YOU LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT.
Are you afraid of a racial uprising? You should be. Because it's going to happen anyway. The only question is WHEN?
Has it not occurred to you that his refusal to secure our borders is for a REASON? Amnesty to MILLIONS of illegals? Have you not noticed the many thousands of illegals in protest throughout the nation, revelling in their illegality while ICE is hamstrung and will do nothing?
The election of 2012 is not that far away, and the wheels of tyranny and the destruction of this Republic are turning a whole lot faster than the wheels of the RULE OF LAW---supposedly upheld by YOU---are turning.
The Obama machine is moving forward at break-neck speed, and you all seem to be in REVERSE. What the hell is going on here???
This is not a rhetorical question. And I, along with millions of other people asking the same question, deserve a better answer than the ones we've been getting.
We're waiting...

Independence Day 2011
Let's face it...we're far off course when it comes to Independence anymore. We've done just about everything that our founding fathers envisioned would or could be done wrong. So---
I believe that we're celebrating a concept that doesn't exist in this nation any longer. I know--I know--we're celebrating the Independence of our Nation---our breaking away from the tyranny of England and King George---
---Now when are we going to recognize and fight the tyranny that exists WITHIN US?
There are many many people on the grassroots level who have been working their butts off tirelessly, and I'm one of them, as are many of you reading this, to regain a foothold in the leviathon we know as the Federal Government.
"Leviathon" has far exceeded it's Constitutional authority. And in so doing, we are now summarily ignored, ridiculed and despised by those holding the majority in our legislative branches. More importantly, the EXECUTIVE branch. What are we to do???
What, indeed NEEDS to be done? Where to start?
Let's start with a few simple undeniable truths;
We have a Congress that views itself as invincible, unaccountable to those who have elected them, and unresponsive to the national will.
WOOPS. Wrong, James.
We still have a Congress that is elected by the people, and the REAL problem is the people who keep putting people like Chuck-U Schumer, Dick Durbin, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer...you get my drift...INTO OFFICE. The UNIONS. The radical environmentalists, the radical gays, the radical revolutionaries, the outright Marxists and Communists that infest our nation right now ARE THE PROBLEM.
Many of them INFEST THE GOVERNMENT, and this has exploded since the "election" of Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro/dead-guy from Connecticut. The Congressional Black Caucus has existed for years, and is populated extensively by overt Marxists and Communists, with the exception of Col Allen West, who joined just to piss all the rest of them off.
What's more, this is an international cabal...has been for YEARS. It's taken this ideology well over 100 years to get this far with their goal to destroy this country and capitalism. Now, we're sitting here on our thumbs wondering how we can pick our nose effectively.
I've got a message...and an idea.
We need to be better at organizing than THEY ARE. We need to be more effective at communicating than they are...and they OWN ALL THE MAJOR NEWS OUTLETS.
To paraphrase the words of General George Washington at Valley Forge in the winter of 1776..."Our situation has been unpromising before, and so I trust it will be again. We need only to adjust ourselves to the exingency of the times...and act accordingly."
So, if you are not faint of heart, full of fire and mad as hell, are you ready to board that boat? Brave that storm? Stand up for God and Country?
I'll be pleased to meet you. There's a lot to be done, and a short time to do it in.
I believe that the power of the Executive branch has also been usurped like never before. Do we need a Con-Con? Negative. We need, and many are in the process of doing so at this minute, to be compiling a list of grievances and CRIMINAL ACTIVITY by this administration and this usurper, and getting IN THE FACE of the media repeatedly, because we can only be ignored for so long. One of the most effective and favorite tactics of the traitors amongst us is to keep repeating a lie, if repeated long enough people start to believe it.
WE NEED TO BE REPEATING THE TRUTH LOUDER AND LONGER THAN THEY DO, AND PEOPLE WILL HEAR IT.
I'm really sick and tired of hearing the Tea Party movements refusal to address Constitutional issues and criminal actions from this White House as "social issues". Just when does outright criminal activity and Constitutional disregard qualify only as a "social issue"?
This is the real mind-blowing question that historians will one day ask: Why did those with the most to lose, DO NOTHING? Those with the most powerful voice, CHOOSE NOT TO USE IT?
Have a great Independence Day.
