1861- THE 40 YEAR REUNION
Let’s recap the week’s news.
The lines are drawn- the pres has
asserted Executive Privilege- for the first time.
And Pelosi has come out and
accused the Repubs of outright racism.
Chris Matthews- the most
dangerous man alive [sorry Ken Shamrock] has also jumped on the bandwagon.
He had on 2 Black Dems and said
those who want Holder to release the documents on fast and Furious are racists.
The other week Matthews was
defending the right of Asian Americans to abort their baby girls because they
preferred a boy.
Yes- he took the other side when
the Repubs wanted to outlaw sex selection abortions.
Now- he claimed he was not for
it- but argued against the passage of the law- because he said it was only a
problem in the Asian community.
So- he thought ‘why outlaw it-
only Asian girls are dying’.
This is the same guy who sees
racism in the Holder affair.
About a month ago I said to
myself ‘let's see how long it will be before the media begin re running the
Watergate movie nonstop’.
To my surprise- not only are they
running the movie- but all the major networks have come out in full regalia-
‘celebrating’ the 40th anniversary of Watergate.
I also read an article the other
day- some Texas professor wrote Holder- demanding the release of the other
documents from Watergate.
Holder responded in a way that
sounded like ‘there is no longer any good reason to continue the cover up of
Watergate- by golly- the truth must show!’
Let’s see- did we celebrate the
20th- 30th anniversary?
No.
Do you normally celebrate the 40th
anniversary- of anything?
No.
Your normally have a big bash on
the 25th- and 50th.
But the media have actual real
time scandals- the cover up of the murder of 300 hundred Mexican citizens- and
at least one border patrol agent.
The Solyndra scandal that
revealed that the presidents own men [All the Presidents men?] actually told
him- in a memo- that what he was about to do looked illegal.
This was said- in a memo- by his
own men.
What he did was changed the loan
to Solyndra- in order for his top fundraiser- who put money in the company- to
get paid back first if the company went bust.
This loan change was not done for
any other person/company- only for the loan that his top fundraiser made.
When this was first revealed- a
mainline news reporter [Sharyl Atkinson] who broke the story said it looked
like this might bring the presidency down.
What?
This was all revealed on a
Friday- after months of denying any involvement in the scandal.
For it to be revealed that your
own people thought what you did was illegal [not just knowing about an illegal
act- Wateragte- but actually doing it!] and you did it anyway.
And you did it for your friend-
against the actual law that regulates the loan- which said you can’t do this.
Well- even a mainline reporter
thought it as bad- or worse than Watergate.
What happened John- Nothing.
The media simply kept silent.
Now- in the current scandal- you know-
the ‘race haters’
In this scandal- when congress asked
the Justice Dept. if they had any knowledge about the Fast and Furious program-
they sent a letter to congress denying involvement/knowledge.
This was the beginning of 2011.
Now- when you go on record like
that- the investigating team usually drops the case- because you would be lying
to congress at that point.
Holder left the letter out there
for most of the year- claiming they had no knowledge of the program.
When congress continued digging-
Holder pulled the letter back.
Why?
Because they did indeed know
about the program- this in itself is enough for a resignation- this in itself
is a Watergate.
Congress just tried Roger
Clemens- twice- for lying to congress.
I’m glad he got off- they found
him not guilty.
Did he lie John- and use steroids?
Sure.
But for this crew to be trying
people for lying- well that’s laughable.
So- Holder basically already
admitted that he lied- whether he knew it or not at the time we don’t know- but
we do know they said- for around 9 months ‘we had no knowledge of the program’.
Then he pulled the letter back.
At the least- we need to know
what changed- who was lying- why?
The parents of the dead agent- Terry-
went on the news this week- they too think Holder and Obama are covering up- by
all accounts- it does look like they are covering up.
Are the parents racists?
According to Pelosi and MSNBC-
yes.
We have very real scandals-
things that rise- easily- to the level of Watergate.
Watergate was the cover up of a
botched break in of a political office in a hotel- the name of the hotel was
Watergate.
The cover up of fast and furious
involves the murder of at least 300 Mexican citizens [the Mexican govt. by the
way does not see this as a joke- they are outraged over this].
And the murder of an American law
enforcement officer.
The Solyndra scandal was
presidential involvement [not just knowledge!] to change a loan- illegally-
even said to be illegal by the president’s own people- in writing!
He changed the law so his number
one fundraiser would not loose money- and he denied it- until he was caught.
These lies- these scandals- they
outrank Watergate- I said it at the time- but the media tried their hardest to make
these things look like nothing.
I’ll end with one last ‘lie’.
This week I read some of the
Leaks that are believed to have come from this White House.
These are the leaks of all the
classified intelligence info that outed Israel- got the Pakistani doctor put in
prison for 35 years- you know- no big deal.
When I looked at the leaks- I
mean they were laughable in the way they were made to portray the president in
a favorable light.
Most leaks are simply info coming
out- lots of time from good men who see wrong things and are trying to expose
the corruption.
We call these people Whistle
Blowers.
But as I reread some of the
recent leaks- I mean they are saying things like ‘As the president sat there in
his chair- debating on which terrorist to kill next- he contemplated his recent
study of Saint Augustine and Saint Thomas Aquinas- and he acted with righteous
indignation’.
What?
St. Thomas and Augustine.
I mean these are 2 of my favorite
Catholic scholars.
Augustine- the 4/5th
century Bishop of North Africa- and Thomas- the great 13th century
Doctor Angelicas [Angelic Doctor].
Yes- these are some big players
in Theology and Philosophy.
So why have the media reported
that the pres used them in his war strategy?
They are also famous for the
development of the Just war Theory.
Yeah- people for centuries have
appealed to these great thinkers in their justification for war.
But Obama- how does he find the
time to read these guys?
I mean- unless their names are on
the golf balls [he just played his 100th round!]
I don’t see him having time to
read them.
So why mention it?
Because he fumbled the ball with
our Catholic friends [who just began a 2 week prayer and fast against the
repression of religious liberty- because of the presidents demands that they
provide birth control thru their institutions].
And he needs to make amends- so
lo and behold- he loves reading the Catholic scholars!
If you put all this together- the
ongoing scandals- not just one.
The actual lies- the ones they
have been caught in- on paper.
I mean even a mainline reporter
could not believe that the revealing of this was ‘no big deal’.
And now- the fact that the pres
came out the other day and addressed the nation ‘me and my Whitehouse have not
released any CLASSIFIED information’.
‘It’s an insult to think this’.
Then- one week later- on Friday-
they sent a letter to congress- declassifying the drone war
in Yemen.
They were basically saying ‘yeah-
we were behind the releasing of all the info- it’s just we ‘declassified it’
first’.
He is going to say when he
released the info- his office first ‘declassified it’.
But when he addressed you- and
me- he was outraged- he made it sound like he was not aware of the leaks.
And 99 % of the public took it
this way.
Look- when you get caught doing
this- over and over and over- I mean this is not a one time affair.
Then it does make the public
wonder about everything else.
And when the public asks for
answers- and you respond by playing the race card- then it’s time for some people
to resign.
Holder needs to go.
Whoever else has lied about their
involvement also needs to go.
And if Nixon had to go because he
lied about his knowledge about a 2 bit break in- then what about the possible
cover up of your knowledge about the murder of a U.S. border patrol agent and
at least 300 Mexican men, women and children.
But wait- I forgot- we don’t have
time to cover these present scandals- no- we are covering the golden [or
brass?] 40th year anniversary of Watergate.
Drink up.
Note- Do me a favor, those who
read/like the posts- re-post them on other sites as well as the site you read
them on. Thanks- John. Don’t forget to ‘click’ the note App on my Facebook
