"Torpedo . . . LOS!" MEXICAN PRESS PICKS UP ON 'PROJECT GUNWALKER'!! ATF brass headed for lifeboats?

The El Diario de El Paso is the primary Spanish-language newspaper for the U.S. city of El Paso, Texas. The paper was founded on May 16, 2005 by El Diario de Juárez. It originally started out as a Mexican newspaper circulated throughout Ciudad Juárez under the name Diario de Juárez. In 1982 Diario de Juárez entered into the El Paso business community by opening a small sales and circulation office. The company became incorporated in Texas as Editora Paso del Norte, Inc..

The newspaper has a daily circulation of over 20,000 copies (100,000 readers) throughout El Paso. The paper is intended to reach young, active adults (target audience 18- 35) of Hispanic descent in El Paso.

Founded in February 1976, Diario de Juárez has grown from a 1,000-copy per day newspaper in Ciudad Juárez to now over 100,000 copies daily in Cd. Juárez, in the city of Chihuahua and throughout the state of Chihuahua. Today, El Diario is the fourth largest newspaper in Mexico. -- Wikipedia.

From David Codrea:

The Spanish language newspaper El Diario de El Paso has published a story on "Project Gunwalker." Per the Google Translate link of the story appearing on the El Diario de Chihuahua website:

Contrary to its policy to stop it, America would be allowing the smuggling of firearms into Mexico intentionally during investigations conducted and the neighboring country without knowing it.

This is one of the allegations have emerged recently in a network by employees of the Bureau of Alcohol, Snuff, Firearms and Explosives (ATF, for its acronym in English), dissatisfied with irregularities alleged to have committed the federal agency. The allegations of arms trafficking were ratified by a source in El Paso.

Here's the awful Google translation of the story.

Can one of you bilingual Threepers do a better translation?

I dunno--I kinda like calling them the "Bureau of Alcohol, Snuff, Firearms and Explosives."

Kinda suggests a link between them and "Snuffy" Pfleger.; January 30, 2011 at 7:45 PM

Defender said...: "the Bureau of Alcohol, SNUFF..."

We knew that. They have quite a long record of snuffing.

Excellent work, Mike. Will it embarrass our American Authorized Journalists into covering this? It would require admitting that they're on the wrong side in the gun rights debate, since it is the faction that has to lie that is in the wrong.
Glenn Beck quoted Progressive Cass Sunstein: "The more we realize that people are human -- that they have a little Homer Simpson in them -- the easier they are to manipulate."
Whereas WE say "Don't take MY word for it, do your own research."; January 30, 2011 at 8:59 PM

"The lawyer of Carter's Country said in an interview with Fox 26, the ATF told the salesmen to “green light them” so they continued with the sales, knowing full well the arms could go to Mexico. “One said to them that they continued with the sales of three or more assault rifles at the same time or five or more 9 millimeters pistols at the same time to a Hispanic young person that paid in cash”, said the litigant Dick Deguerin to Channel 26. The employee of the ATF that spoke with the Newspaper under condition of anonymity said this happens in all Texas, including the Step."; January 31, 2011 at 6:03 AM

In your case and that of your state idolater simbiotes, "bilingual" would mean "forked tongue."

Wretched, soulless drones. Echo chamber tape loops of vile lies. Vacuous, willful tools of tyranny. Weak, fearful, dependent children of The State.

Reality will soon provide you with the ultimate correction.

Must give Lon a real chuckle.; January 31, 2011 at 11:51 AM

Producing a few examples of bilingual Threepers would require effort (and prove impossible). Easier to go to the old cave-dweller fall back option and make a veiled death threat.

I have little doubt that the vast majority of the brilliant poets reading this blog agree with Hanns Johst's fascist stylings on the relationship of culture and firearms, though they know not a word of the language in which Johst expressed that relationship.; January 31, 2011 at 8:42 PM

You do have a way with words. I have serious doubts that anon 8:51 will be able to Babelfish his/her way through that message.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
