This stinks to high heaven ….
One of the men charged in the murder of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry pleaded guilty to one count of murder, Monday morning. Once a potential candidate for the death penalty after the murder of the agent, the drawn up plea deal now states that the U.S. and the defendant will ask for 360 months imprisonment, with credit for time served since his arrest in October 2012.
The Justice Department indicted Rosario Rafael Burboa Alvarez last summer in connection with the killing. Alvarez was identified as the recruiter for the rip-off crew that ran into Terry’s elite BORTAC unit in the desert in December 2010. Terry was killed in the ensuing gunfight with the rip-off crew and later two AK-47 variants found at the crime scene were identified as part of the notorious Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives gunwalking operation, Operation Fast and Furious. The scandalous operation was supposed to link guns bought at a Phoenix-area gunstore to cartel gunmen trafficking the weapons to Mexico. Instead, ATF lost more than 2,000 of those weapons. Resulting congressional investigations found that the men linked to the gun purchases were being monitored by different U.S. federal agencies like DEA, the FBI and ATF, but agents weren’t sharing the information with the other agencies.
Burboa was often identified in federal search warrants and charging papers as the recruiter of the group. Burboa, the U.S. said, recruited rip-off crews to rob drug smugglers of their marijuana loads, then paid them after they performed the robbery and returned to Sinaloa. In early December, the rip-off crew entered the U.S. from Mexico, retrieved a stash of weapons and food and went to work, hunting smugglers. Instead, they encountered Terry’s tactical unit that had taken position at the top of a wash.
As part of the plea agreement, the United States agreed not to execute Burboa and to dismiss all other charges against him, including charges of interfering with federal officers and killing Terry with “malice aforethought” the second charge in the superseding indictment.
Obama could not afford to allow this to go to trial and expose his #FastandFurious debacle to defense discovery.
So a vicious murderer will eventually walk.
For Obama and his ilk, people aren’t really people; they are valued only by their usefulness to The Narrative.
Brian Terry was expendable.
Par for the course, since after all the ClownDisasterites put an innocent Coptic Egyptian in jail so as to distract from their culpability in the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi Libya. They cover for themselves by whatever means necessary.
All for The Cause!
All for The Socialist Revolution!
Comrades Unite!
It seems to me we’ve heard this song before – actually many times since 1789.
It was in the interest of Justice.
Yes indeed Ernst, exactly like IWonPenPhone’s alliance with Iran in that sense. The Americans must get theirs and the ClownDeceptor is the man to deliver. Justice whispers into his prodigious ears alone. Others ought not interfere.
Who said anything about Platonic Ideals? This is about Justice. Justice doesn’t whisper in anybody’s ear. Justice does what POTUS tells it to.
Wrecking retribution far and wide is hardly a Platonic eide. Nope, it’s earthy, personal, and death dealing. It is the nitty-gritty of classic American “get ‘er done”. And he’s a doin’.
Want another example? Y’know, the sort we nowadays call by the name real world? Here’s one.
And here’s another. And another [be warned, it’s terrible] July 14, 2015. And ClownDeceptor on our “core interests”, April 2015.
His words. His choosing. His deeds. His justice.

Greetings:
I heard that Eric Holder was going to coming out of retirement to get Señor Alvarez’s voting rights restored.
OT, did any of you hear Levin grinding his own balls underfoot in the last hour of his show? About the sex slaves ISIS held, and the Canadian buyer Levin wanted to promote and raise money for?
I was horrified.
I’ve no idea what grinding his own balls underfoot means? But didn’t listen to that last hour at all, so I’m giving it a go now to see what this is.
Ah. I see. Yes. This far outweighs talk about Megyn Kelly on any sane hierarchy of priorites, surely. Our ClownEmperor on the other hand, has designed the situation to his tastes.
Horrified that ML would think of supporting such an effort or at what’s being done to those non-Muslim girls?
Then there is the other side of the thing.
That Levin would support it.
Obama recently decreed the law against that sort of thing null and void, so It’s legal now I guess. Here’s the thing, the only way to save these girls is by force under arms. This Canadian dude just became a consumer of a business enterprise. The ones he’s giving the money to will use it to expand the enterprise and subdue critics. Maybe even franchise!
Horrible idea…
Force of arms as a response to ISIS would be a good thing. But it is not a possible thing for the next year and six months, so to the extent the slaves can be purchased and liberated now, before they die or suffer further, would be the next best option. So force of arms doesn’t the only way to save them.
sorry, add *seem to be* between “doesn’t” and “the”
I never manage to catch the last hour of his show. You’re not suggesting that this Canadian wants to buy ISIS held sex slaves for the purposes of sex and/or slavery, and the Levin supports this are you?
Because that would be dumb.
If on the other hand, you’re suggesting that buying them off only encourages the bastards, I suppose we can debate the wisdom of ransoming captives from sex slavery on prudential grounds.. Something like that.
No, of course I know they want to rescue them!
Levin said he would like millions in his audience to donate; that’s millions going straight into ISIS hands!
You ransom a hundred people this week, next week there will be a thousand, with younger ages and higher prices.
Screw impossible. You got that kinda coin, hire a squad of retired special forces to spend six months in the desert eradicating slavers. THAT I could get behind….
Maybe they will find out that they next batch of girls will not be so easy to capture.
Then there is the problem of what to do with them. Of course the answer is to bring rheir extended family’s here, however feasible that is. Probably end up ransoming them too.
Then of course ISIS would start seeding their so called child soldiers on the slave block…
Are you kidding Bear? Shit, families all over would be giving their kids up voluntarily as a ticket to the west!
This is a textbook example of the road to hell paved with good intentions.
I blame it on the estrogen America is awash in.
Oscar Schindler was all about the estrogen. Yep. He wasn’t taking any chances, just like a woman.
I’d pay to see more of this myself.
The only thing to recommend the plan is that it might embarrass the shams and shame the government into doing something more effective than promoting a hashtag on twitter (no link because you all know who/what I’m talking about).
Weak sdferr. The nazis didn’t know what Schindler was up to, much less profiting from it.
Weak yes, because I too am womanish, like that Levin fella, for that matter. But I wonder, who said that the idea was to inform ISIS that their slave-girls were being bought out from under them, again? And the Nazis didn’t profit? That’s odd. I thought money changed hands, besides that Schindler ran factories.
I’m frankly surprised my argument isn’t obvious.
I call it feminine to let your heart be your guide, instead of your reason. Of course I’m horrified there is a thriving slave market standing where a few years ago we had thousands of combat troops. These poor people are suffering terribly. But I don’t want to pay for a hundred when that means there will be even more taken because Ive made it lucrative.
There’s a reason it didn’t used to be lawful before a few months ago, I thought everyone understood why.
This Canadian isn’t going to cut the demand for sex slaves. He’s going to cause the number of slaves to go up to fill his added business. It’s like ISIS just landed a juicy new contract on top of the business they are already doing.
So neither I, nor Mark Levin, nor this Canadian fellow (who I don’t know) use our reason? Well, that’s a good thing to learn.
As to your economic arguments, they seem to me to include what’s called a petitio principii.
But let’s try this. Human beings and the lives of those human beings, are not widgets. We don’t create them at will in factories, like other economic goods. They’re actually kinda limited in their numbers, particularly when an invading horde comes in and kills many in a given region, and the bulk of those not killed flee to other places. So, there is no unlimited number of young girls and young women with which to replace those few who are bought away by benefactors seeking their emancipation. Many, if not yet most of the Chaldean and Assyrian Christians have fled their ancestral areas, as have the remaining Yazids. They’ve scattered.
Now there is a market for slave-girls. If benefactors do not purchase the slave-girls, others who are not benefactors will. Each girl is understood to be precious and unique — not like widgets in this regard. Saving each life is understood to be a good in itself.
How much money do you want to give Islam? How long before the supply in the ME, Africa, and Asia run out?
It’s an awful game, the only winning move is killing slavers wherever they show their wares.
what sdferr said.
Now we will repeat ourselves. We’ve already noted that purchasing away these few girls is the second best of two mentioned options (neither of which are in a good scenario, but rather, because of ClownDisaster’s accomplished bad choices, an awful scenario — the best of the possible worlds, in other words, is far far behind both for the subjugated peoples of Iraq and for us, the usurped sovereigns of the United States). This purchasing is already admitted to be the lessor option of the two. The best option, to go with force to kill not just ISIS, but to expel the Iranian overlords, the Syrian overlords, etc. isn’t happening any time soon — a year and a half at the least, and more probably more time than that. Unless, perhaps, Iran blunders very badly in the interim. Which – – – – – is possible, human nature along with human hubris being what it is.
Here is a recent article on ISIS price list. This does not appear to be a highly significant sector of their economy as a whole to me. It would be interesting to see a serious analysis of that question however.
I apologize, as that link was to the older of the two articles I pulled up. This is the link to the newer one. Again, apologies for the mistake.
I think maybe we are cross talking because the scope of the issue got too broad. I’m speaking to a particular instance there Levin came out strongly for this Canadian that called himself an entrepreneur and he wanted to take donations to buy slaves off the block and rescue them. All in the up and up and in the open.
I don’t know, it just astounded me what a bad idea that could be. Unintended consequences everywhere. Condemning many to save the one.
Maybe it’s just me. We’ll see…
You are mostly likely correct that we’re imagining two very different scenarios regarding the actual process. I certainly don’t know anything about the Canadian’s proposal, beyond that he seeks to emulate Schindler, although without himself infiltrating ISIS territory so far as I know.
Therefore, I simply made my own mental image of what I think he’ll do. It goes like this: raise money openly, explaining what he plans as he goes. Contact serious men, whether Americans like David Petraeus or Jack Keene and their subordinates, or Canadian military with experience in Iraq, men who worked closely with the Sons of Iraq during the surge, people like Michael Pregent, for instance, who maintain relations with trusted Iraqis. Develop contacts with trusted Iraqis through these Americans or Canadians. Set up rat lines to infiltrate monies and men into ISIS territory and to move purchased slave-girls out. In no way do I imagine these emancipated women and girls being brought out of Iraq or out of the region to America or Canada, but think they will be resettled safely with their own tribal people and families, wherever they may be in the region now. Again, this is sketched on the fly, without specific knowledge.

Thank you all – much food for thought on the matter.

So Mr. Maman sounded to be a Frenchy-Canadian there.
sounded like the brokers were making the money by buying wholesale.
>I don’t know, it just astounded me what a bad idea that could be. Unintended consequences everywhere.<
until isis conquers more infidel territory they have a limited supply of slaves.
the middle man makes the money by connecting capital to the "product". so isis is like the farmer complaining about the price for x.

sdferr –
I think you are mistaken, but if purchase of these girls works out for the best I would pay money to be wrong.
I think, though, that the downstream effects of doing this will sadly outweigh any good done.
If you reward a thing, you get more of it. I don’t think we want more of this.
Also, don’t see the parallel with Schindler – it’s more like he was making them slaves (to Nazi eyes) to spare them from death camps – rather than purchasing them from existing slave takers.
It could be I’m mistaken about many things, I don’t doubt that. Whether about the economics of this situation as you seem to primarily charge, perhaps. At this great distance with these and these gaps in our knowledge, it’s damned hard to tell. Seems to me that the circumstances described by Mr. Maman and his organization (who after all have a dog in this hunt, so have motive to paint the effects of their operation with an over-generous brush), those who are rewarded are the intermediators, who Maman calls brokers. So, we may expect more brokers will soon be emerging to collect the windfall rewards of brokering. That won’t necessarily mean heightened enslavement of little girls and young women relative to the current rate though. Won’t necessarily mean less enslavement of little girls and young women either. But it doesn’t appear on the surface the jihadis’ expected rewards from the enslavement of little girls and young women are fundamentally a matter of matter of money, as opposed to stealing sex acts along with whatever other labors they get from them. Generating baby jihadis seems to be deeply embedded in that mix.
As to the role of Oscar Schindler in the enterprise and how far any parallel must go, that’s obvious enough.

OT: Or not.
heh
Speaking of the Americans getting theirs and ClownDeceptor delivering on that:
Glick today
I’m not sure the American era has ended, but only because the dollar is still the global exchange standard. I’m pretty sure that will last until our economy crashes again…any day now.
By the way, whats with the national debt being stuck at 18 trillion for the past 150 days? That don’t seem right…
