Obama administration’s criminal culpability in that tragedy, Absolute treason of the press

Benghazi and Boston: Maintaining the Momentum



When President Obama jokingly referred to himself as a former “Muslim socialist” at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 27, several publications later quoting him scrubbed the word “Muslim” from the text. Why? Did editors perceive something imprudent with respect to their agenda in advertising that tidbit? Would there have been something offensive in representing Obama’s utterance of Moosleem in those characteristic, dulcet tones?
It’s not like his affected accent would have translated into print… All kidding aside: The House Oversight Committee hearings this week on the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya were extremely revealing on three levels. One, of course, was the information finally revealed as the whistleblowers were identified and Americans were able to hear their riveting accounts of the events on the ground that night. Two: Though it has been established that perhaps a majority of Republican lawmakers are treasonous, progressive #, it appears that there are at least a few who are serious about preserving the republic and who grasp the gravity of the Obama administration’s crimes. This is not only gratifying, but certainly could be integral to extricating this obscene cabal.

Absolute treason of the press

Three is the absolute treason of the press. This may not be surprising to the reader, given their comportment in recent years, but their level of abject propaganda and obsequious toadying during the hearings was unparalleled. Few of the alphabet television networks touched on the hearings at all, and those that did relegated much of their coverage to hidden nooks and crannies on their websites. This week, it was established that a stand down order was indeed transmitted to Special Forces personnel on the ground an hour from the beleaguered compound in Benghazi. Whomever received it is not likely to have spoken with the President directly, so he will not be obliged to admit to same, even if a high-level cabinet member ultimately makes such an assertion. It may be unfortunate and maddening, but we may never get a straight answer on the origination of that order, even though common sense dictates that given the circumstances of that night, it would have to have come from President Obama. The plethora of lies told to date by members of the administration will be difficult enough for them to weasel out of. When Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asserted earlier that no requests for additional security ever came from embassy staff, she painted herself into a bit of a corner; it is clear that she lied under oath. The numerous transformations of the administration’s official talking points alone could keep investigators occupied for months. In resolving Benghazi, Obama may attempt to sacrifice someone who is at present, or was once a member of his cabinet. It takes a significant suspension of disbelief to accept that a stand down order would not have come directly from Obama, but it is extremely unlikely that he will ever acknowledge this. Here, the pursuit of justice will largely rely upon the follow-up by those with jurisdiction. That would be Congress, and we still have the power to motivate them. Something very significant was revealed from the aforementioned subterfuge of the press, something which ought to give us hope: Despite the scant press coverage, Americans’ demand for news on Benghazi (as reflected online on the national news organizations’ websites) was overwhelming. So, even though the “state-run” establishment press remains dedicated to Obama, their influence – at least on the topic of Benghazi – appears to be waning.

Obama administration’s criminal culpability in that tragedy

If this is the case, it is imperative that we – and this means you, if you are an American – continue to vigorously press Congress toward action and engage our circles of influence. It may seem trite or unlikely, but to me it is self-evident that social media is one of the most invaluable weapons we have against tyranny in America (This is of course why the administration has been attempting to gain control over the Internet, but I digress). The widespread, potent influence of citizen journalists and networking Americans simply cannot be underestimated. We must vociferously assert and re-assert the truth about this administration, and the state of our Union. We must do it until we are sick of doing it. We must press the issues of Benghazi, but we must also press investigations into the Boston Marathon bombings. The Obama administration’s criminal culpability in that tragedy may be on a par with Benghazi and the Fast and Furious gun running scandal – or worse. It is only by maintaining momentum that we might awaken a majority of our fellow citizens to the fact that our government is not only a criminal enterprise, but is in collusion with or sworn enemies – a fact that yet remains beyond many Americans’ ability to conceptualize.
