Very interesting!
Nixon was a boy scout
compared to this. LBJ, Clinton, move over. Obama has everyone beat
by a mile
With a month to go
before President Barack Obama faces re-election, the president is dealing with
five major scandals. Any one of these scandals would sink a mere mortal, but
Barack Obama as we all know is no mere mortal. He is a lightworker, author of hope
and change, the man whose election should have been the moment that our ailing
planet itself was healed. So none of these scandals are much of a threat to
him. In political terms Barack Obama is a god, immortal and untouchable.
Barack Obama is
politically immortal because our mainstream media is hopelessly immoral. Also,
corrupt down to its miserable, rotten core. But should there be one member of
the mainstream media who still cares about truth, should there be a single
member of the mainstream media who actually cares about reporting these things
called “facts,” should there be Woodward or Bernstein out there who just wants
to make a name for themselves, I have put a little guide together outlining the
five scandals that ought to sink Barack Obama’s political career.
Scandal 1: Fast and Furious.
You might have heard of this one. It involved allowing thousands of guns to
“walk” across the U.S. border into Mexico during 2009 and 2010, not
coincidentally the height of that country’s drug war so far. One of those guns
turned up in the hands of a Mexican drug cartel operator, at the murder scene
of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Another has been linked to the murder
of U.S. Customs Agent Jaime Zapata. So this scandal has an American body count.
Fast and Furious also has a Mexican body count that may get up into the
hundreds. While the shills in the mainstream media ran shady poll after shadier
poll to tell America that the presidential race is over, Univision scooped
them, discovering that Fast and Furious operated well beyond Arizona and that
some of its guns turned up in all kinds of heinous crimes, including massacres
of Mexicans.
Beyond the body count,
there lingers the question: Just what did the administration hope to accomplish
by letting guns get into the hands of drug cartel operators without tracking
those guns adequately? The intrepid reporter can surely run down all kinds of
angles and avenues just by seriously asking that single question. Instead of
asking that question, though, the mainstream media has picked up its shovels
and helped Obama and Eric Holder bury all those Fast and Furious casualties in
a hole quite a bit deeper than six feet, known as the Memory Hole.
Scandal 2: Kathleen Sebelius breaks
federal law, keeps her job. In February 2012, Secretary of Health
and Human Services (that’s a federal position, just in case you’re not up on
your civics) Kathleen Sebelius openly electioneered on government time in her
official capacity during a visit to North Carolina. The Hatch Act, a federal
law, expressly forbids such activity. The department she heads decided to cover
her actions up by re-badging her appearance as a personal one, and had her pay
some money to cover expenses. All of that constitutes an active cover-up. An
investigation found that Sebelius has indeed violated the Hatch Act, which, as
I already mentioned, is not a mere suggestion or guideline — it’s a federal
law. Federal officials who are found in violation of the Hatch Act tend to get
fired quickly. But Kathleen Sebelius not only has not been fired, President
Obama has already appeared with her on the campaign trail since she was found
to have violated the law.
The Hatch Act is very
serious law. It was written so that government officials could not abuse their
power over subordinates for political reasons. By keeping Sebelius on the job,
Obama has effectively gutted the Hatch Act and declared open season by
higher-ranking government officials on lower-ranking ones.
Scandal 3. Obama administration
leaks sensitive national security information for political purposes.
In a series of stories that were published in the New York Times, and in a
movie production that was set to make a two-hour pre-election infomercial for
President Obama, a person or persons within the administration leaked all kinds
of sensitive national security information to the media. These persons leaked
the names of active Navy SEAL special operators to Hollywood producers, they
leaked details of ongoing cyber operations against Iran, and they leaked
details about how the president decides when and where to kill terrorists. None
of this information should have leaked. All of it hurt our nation’s security in
one way or another. All of it, if leaked by someone not in the president’s
inner circle, would get the leaker jailed and charged with serious crimes. No
one has been fired, no one has been jailed. Presumably the leaker or leakers
still have access to sensitive information and can still leak it whenever they
choose. Or are ordered to.
Scandal 4. Obama administration
tells defense contractors to violate federal law. Bonus: Obama
administration says it will use taxpayer dollars to pay any government fines
incurred. This scandal is still ongoing, and it could be a big one. The Obama
administration entered into a spending deal with Congress, by which automatic
budget cuts will start slicing away unless the politicians act to stop them and
find other places to cut or raise revenue. Some of the biggest cuts will hit
defense contractors. Those contractors are required by federal law to inform
their workers if layoffs may be close at hand. Thanks to sequestration, layoffs
are close at hand unless the politicians hammer out a deal, which they haven’t
done. So Lockheed was set to send out the pink slips, but on Friday and then
against Monday the Obama administration told them not to. That command is in
violation of federal law. The Obama administration doubled down on that illegal
command, by telling the contractors that the government, which would collect
any penalties resulting from the failure to give out the layoff notices, will
pay the fines. Wrap that around your head for a second — the government is
commanding contractors to break the law, which in ordinary circumstances would
trigger monetary penalties and might render that contractor ineligible for
future government contracts. And on top of that, the government says it will
use taxpayer dollars to pay the penalties, which would go to the government —
in other words, itself.
How is this scandal not
both a late night comic’s dream and a fertile patch for an intrepid reporter to
cultivate?
Scandal 5: Libya. The
short version of the Libya scandal goes like this. President Barack Obama has
been skipping more than half of his Presidential Daily Briefings. His State
Department sent an ambassador to war-torn Libya, but did no threat assessment
before handing him a consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Benghazi isn’t exactly a
tourist destination. In the post-Gaddafi Libya that Obama helped create via a
war of dubious legality, Benghazi is a lawless hotbed of al-Qaeda and related
terrorist activity. The consulate in Benghazi was given no Marine protection
and in fact did not have the standard security arrangements at all. It was
protected by local militias for hire. Such arrangements tend to find cheap
local fighters of highly questionable loyalty.
On Sept 8, 2012, the
U.S. government starts to get warnings that terrorists intend to strike in
Cairo, Egypt, and in Libya. Threats in Libya against the U.S. ambassador there
had been ramping up for months. On Sept 11, 2012, the terrorists strike and in
Libya, they sack the largely unprotected U.S. consulate and murder the
ambassador along with three other Americans.
On that evening the U.S.
embassy in Cairo denounces a YouTube video as the inspiration for the attacks.
The Obama administration in Washington is silent, though it learned of the
attack on the consulate in Benghazi within 90 minutes of its beginning. The
president himself learned that Ambassador Chris Stevens was missing as a result
of the attack, yet went to bed and learned of Stevens’ death the following
morning. The day after the attacks, President Obama and Secretary of State
Clinton suggested that the attack was both an act of terror and a response to
the YouTube film, which had been produced by an obscure figure who may be a con
man in the United States (and then Obama jetted off to Vegas for a fundraiser).
In the ensuing days, the Obama administration would tell America that the
attack in Benghazi was “spontaneous,” not pre-planned, though the U.S.
intelligence community viewed that attack as a terrorist strike within the
first 24 hours.
That same week, the
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, called an obscure
anti-Islamist preacher in Florida to urge him not to support the obscure
YouTube film lest more riots and violence occur. At the end of that week, the
Obama Justice Department had tracked the obscure filmmaker down in California,
publicly identified him, and rousted him at midnight for “questioning” and a media
perp walk. That filmmaker is now in jail on probation violations. As of yet,
the word “scapegoat” has not been used by anyone in the mainstream media to
describe what has been done here. So for any intrepid reporters out there
reading this, that term is yours for the taking and the shaping. No need to
credit me.
The Obama
administration’s false version of events culminated on Sunday, Sept 16, 2012,
when the administration sent U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice
on five nationally televised political talk shows to describe the Benghazi
attack as “spontaneous.” Rice said that, according to the intelligence she had
received, the attack was not pre-planned and was a response to the YouTube
movie. That has turned out not to be true, at all.
Despite the fact that
administration officials including the president’s own spokesman have publicly
described Benghazi as a terrorist attack, President Obama used his recent
address to the United Nations to blame the film, again.
Possible motives for
this ongoing cover-up before our eyes include but are not limited to any of the
following:
President Obama had been
skipping his intel briefings in favor of campaigning, and attacks on U.S. soil
occurred on his watch on an anniversary that he and his team really ought to
have planned better for. Clinton’s State Department failed to predict and plan
for the chaos that it helped author in Libya, resulting in the first field
killing of a U.S. ambassador since 1979. Clinton still has a political future
to think about. The Obama administration has argued that since the death of
Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda is on the ropes and on the road to defeat. But if
al-Qaeda coordinated attacks against the U.S. in two of the so-called “Arab
Spring” states, is the administration’s line accurate, or is it a fantasy?
President Obama really did believe that his inauguration would help usher in
peace with the terrorists. Terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, on the anniversary
of 9-11, leave him baffled and confused. The Obama-Clinton-Rice-Jarrett policy
of helping push the Arab Spring has resulted in rising Islamist power across
the Middle East. The administration believes that, rather than acknowledge the
reality that it has helped spread chaos that might trigger a massive regional
or even world war, it’s preferable to curb American free speech rights and use
the might of the state to intimidate obscure preachers and turn hack movie
makers into political prisoners.
So there you go. Five
big scandals to chew on, any one of which have the potential to bring down a
president. A couple of them are easily bigger and juicier than Watergate. A
couple even have body counts. A couple could be linked together to show a
pattern of lawless behavior.
Get to work, intrepid
reporter. You don’t need Deep Throat, and you don’t need to be Woodward or
Bernstein. You just need to follow up on any one of these five massive scandals
and report them fully in the mainstream media.
I should advise you, you
won’t win any Pulitzers and you’ll probably get fired. But you just might save
your country.
This list is just the
tip of the iceberg. There are more scandals.
