The foreign press continues to pursue some of the lies told by the Obama administration on foreign policy and the embassy debacle on 9-11, but this favorite LIE of the left was repeated AGAIN by Barack Obama to the whole world in his Univision interview Sept 2012.
The Fast and Furious Program had “Begun Under the Previous Administration” Obama LIES and coverups are NOT a story. The U.S. press either ignored the statement or backed up the LIE. The propaganda that continues to FLOOD out of the White House won't even be scrutinized by the Main Stream Media. The deaths and coverup of Fast and Furious is the perfect example. The MSM, with few exceptions, is the propaganda arm of the democrat party and the left. Sunday at 7 on Univision there will be more coverage of the Fast and Furious program that was created UNDER OBAMA and lead to the deaths of HUNDREDS of people. Instead, the MSM will parrot the White House talking points and push the MEME of the day.

Fast and Furious back in headlines as Univision reportedly finds more victims
Published: 1:28 AM 09/29/2012
Spanish-language television network Univision plans to air a
television special that it said reveals more violence than previously
known, as well as the stories of how many more Operation Fast and
Furious victims were killed, the network announced in a Friday release.
“The consequences of the controversial ‘Fast and Furious’ undercover
operation put in place by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives (ATF) in 2009 have been deadlier than what has been made
public to date,” the network said. “The exclusive, in-depth
investigation by Univision News’ award-winning Investigative Unit —
Univision Investiga — has found that the guns that crossed the border as
part of Operation Fast and Furious caused dozens of deaths inside
Mexico.”
Among other groups of Fast and Furious victim stories Univision says
it will tell in the special to air Sunday evening at 7 p.m., is one
about how “16 young people attending a party in a residential area of
Ciudad Juárez in January of 2010″ were gunned down with weapons the
Obama administration gave to drug cartel criminals through Fast and
Furious.
“Univision News’ Investigative Unit was also able to identify
additional guns that escaped the control of ATF agents and were used in
different types of crimes throughout Mexico,” the network added.
“Furthermore, some of these guns — none of which were reported by
congressional investigators — were put in the hands of drug traffickers
in Honduras, Puerto Rico, and Colombia. A person familiar with the
recent congressional hearings called Univision’s findings ‘the holy
grail’ that Congress had been searching for.”
A video preview published on Friday
shows a number of the bodies of people killed with Fast and Furious
weapons, as well as victims’ family members pleading with outgoing
Mexican President Felipe Calderon for justice.
Congressional investigators from the House Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform and the Senate Judiciary Committee have been probing
Fast and Furious since early 2011, shortly after U.S. Border Patrol
Agent Brian Terry was murdered with Fast and Furious weapons. Terry was
killed on Dec. 14, 2010, in Peck Canyon, Ariz.
Others whose murders have been connected to Fast and Furious weapons
include Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime Zapata and
Mexican citizen Mario Gonzalez. Gonzalez’s sister, Patricia Gonzalez,
was the state prosecutor for the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
Fast and Furious was a program of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives, overseen by Attorney General Eric Holder’s DOJ.
It sent thousands of weapons to Mexican drug cartels via straw
purchasers — people who purchased guns in the United States with the
known intention of illegally trafficking them somewhere else.
Mexican government officials have estimated that at least 300 people in Mexico were killed with Fast and Furious weapons.
Holder and President Barack Barack Obama have obstructed the
congressional investigations into this scandal. After months of failure
to comply with a subpoena for Fast and Furious documents, information
and witnesses, Holder was voted on a bipartisan basis into criminal and
civil contempt of Congress. Obama has asserted executive privilege over
the documents.
The DOJ’s internal inspector general recently released a report
concluding that Holder was not cleared by his currently ongoing
investigation, despite a swath of media coverage saying that Holder was
“exonerated” by it. Though he did conclude that he couldn’t find
evidence or proof Holder knew about Fast and Furious, DOJ Inspector
General Michael Horowitz testified before Congress that almost everyone
in Holder’s inner circle at DOJ did know, and that he and his team think
it’s odd at best that Holder didn’t.
“We found, as we outlined in the report, we struggle to understand
how an operation of this size, of this importance, that impacted another
country like it did, could not have been briefed up to the attorney
general of the United States,” Horowitz said during a House oversight
committee hearing. “It should have been, in our view. It was that kind
of a case.”
Former White House National Security Council staffer Kevin O’Reilly —
who was intimately involved in Fast and Furious planning with Phoenix
ATF officials, according to emails obtained throughout the congressional
investigation — has since been reassigned by the Department of State to
a detail in Iraq. Obama administration officials have refused to make
O’Reilly available to congressional investigators and to Horowitz’s
internal DOJ investigation.
On Friday, CBS News’ Sharyl Attkisson reported that congressional Republicans are now threatening to subpoena O’Reilly and force his testimony on Fast and Furious.
Univision has aggressively covered Fast and Furious, and its most
recent major run-in with the scandal came when network anchor Jorge
Ramos grilled Obama in an interview on the scandal, asking him why he hasn’t “fired” Holder. During the interview, Obama made at least one false statement relating to Fast and Furious.
