A Tsunami of Lies
By Alan Caruba
I don’t
know why anyone, least of all the press, expects to get the truth about the
Benghazi attack on September 11, 2012—an interesting date for an attack, don’t
you think? Of course it was a terrorist operation with the fingerprints of al
Qaeda all over it.
The U.S.
Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, was trotted out to tell everyone
that the attack was the result of a video no one ever so and was “spontaneous”
because, as we all know, everyone in the Middle East walks around with mortars
and other heavy weapons of war. And now we hear that the President wants to
nominate her to replace Hillary Clinton when she retires after his
inauguration. Nice payoff for being a stooge.
Hillary Clinton
will not be available to answer questions about what the State Department did
or did not do when informed of the attack on our consulate. She’s been wine
tasting in Australia and will be back from her globe-trotting in December.
As for
Gen. David Petraeus, who resigned as Director of the Central Intelligence
Agency just one day after Obama was reelected, he has reportedly testified
under oath to closed door committees in Congress on Friday that he and the CIA
believed the attack to be a terrorist operation by al Qaeda on receiving the
first news of it. Who could have thought anything else? It does not explain,
however, why he relayed the talking points of the White House that it was a
flash mob resulting from a video.
The major
problem of the first term of the Obama administration was the way he lied about
everything. The “Fast and Furious” gun-running scheme got one of our border
patrol officers killed, but the whole mess was hushed up and finally protected
behind the assertion of executive privilege. Whistle-blowers were reassigned or
invited to leave.
The lies
told about Obamacare are a prime example of the administration’s effort to
impose this seizure of the nation’s health system. Only a Supreme Court ruling
that it was a tax—something that was denied in the run-up to the decision until
it could no longer be denied permitted it to become law. The legislation had
been passed on a straight party line vote.
It
appears, too, that a huge amount of voter fraud was instrumental in getting
Obama reelected. Some of the reports of 99% voting totals in some districts
rival that of those of despots like Saddam Hussein in Iraq before his regime
was brought down.
Following
news of the killing of Osama bin Laden, the President said that al Qaeda was in
decline, but the “Arab Spring” and the Benghazi attack has provided ample
evidence that it is not. He has, from well before he was elected made it clear
that his sympathies are with Islam and Muslims.
Blaming
all the financial ills on George W. Bush throughout his first term is another
example because the crisis did not occur until the very last months of Bush’s
second term, just prior to the 2008 elections. In the first term, the national
debt went from $10 trillion to $16 trillion. Unemployment—officially—remained
at 8%.
Programs
such as the “stimulus” turned out to be little more than a slush fund and did
nothing to spur recovery. The economy remained stalled throughout his first
term.
The
takeover of General Motors and Chrysler was perpetrated by yet another lie
because both companies could have and should have been allowed to enter a
normal bankruptcy procedure in order to be restructured. The taxpayers will be
stuck with billions of dollars poured into these companies.
On a
virtually daily basis and in the years leading up to his election, Obama has
lied about or taken extraordinary steps to hide the true facts of his university
records, his passport, and other key facts about his life. His Social Security
number is alleged to be false along with his birth certificate.
With the
Democrats in power in the Senate, there is no chance that an impeachment
procedure could remove him from office. Meanwhile, in state after state citizen
petitions to secede from the Union demonstrate the high levels of fear
regarding his second term.
By-passing
Congress and ruling by executive order is likely to be the route he will take
in the next four years and it will turn the nation into one where the law
becomes the enemy of the people.
Edmund Burke warned that "People crushed by law, have no hopes but from power.
If laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to laws; and those who have
much to hope and nothing to lose, will always be dangerous."
Freedom is in danger nationwide
and a government that was purchasing huge amounts of ammunition, training
Department of Homeland Security youth corps, and one in which FEMA is alleged
to have concentration camps, is one that more resembles the Nazi regime than
anything Americans have ever encountered.
The reliance on the mainstream media, with the
exception of news organizations such as Fox News, will likely hamper the
ability of Americans to know what is actually happening and the established
means the administration has to delay, deflect, and hide the truth will
continue to be the biggest threat the nation has encountered in its history as
a Republic.
The truth, it is said, is the first casualty of
war. The war on America began in earnest on Election Day 2008.
