The art of deception and the disintegration of political credibility have reached new levels of stench, which the middle class across America looks to overthrow through its demonstrated support of ‘outsiders’ in the current presidential race. I use the term, “middle class,” because the political and economic ruling class, the supreme 0.001% quite evidently doesn’t care.
To pick up the deception banner for the Obama Administration, the Democrats and the MSM are disguising and offering-up a new Hillary Clinton as she effortlessly displays her inner Marxist. We do not yet have a thorough picture of the damage she inflicted on America through the use of her private email server and her obstruction of justice, however, we are clear on the damage she and Obama inflicted on both America and the Middle East with their lies about Benghazi.
Clinton and Obama knew that Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty, had been killed by al Qaeda. They knew the attack had not resulted from a crowd’s spontaneous combustion over an anti-Muhammad video. At about 10:00PM, Sept. 11, 2012, the day of the attack on the Benghazi consulate, Clinton issued this statement, “Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind”.
She knew, they knew, but they lied to America. They didn’t lie to Egypt’s Prime Minister, just hours after the attack, but they lied, and repeated the lie on news shows, and even had the gall to lie to the world two weeks later from the podium of the UN, as Obama so resolutely and sanctimoniously said, “a crude and disgusting video that sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world. — I’ve made it clear that the United States government had nothing to do with this video. I believe its message should be rejected”. What does this hateful, dishonest, and hypocritical statement really say about its speaker?
This Administration hammered the tirade over and over again, fuelling the hate, fuelling anger, and fuelling demonstrations across the middle east. This Administration promoted an absurd video across every waste dump of a media outlet in our midst, even going so far as to chase down the producer of the anti-Muhammad video, . . . just for further effect to ensure that the lie would be swallowed by our 4th estate. This Administration ensured that the whole Middle East would view this video. How hateful and loathsome is that? THEIR PROMOTION OF AN OBSCURE VIDEO HAD MASSIVE CONSEQUENCES.
Obama, Clinton, Jarrett and Rice incompetently and vapidly set the middle east ablaze, with their crowning achievement being the destabilization of North Africa and the whole Middle East, plus the creation of massive refugee movements estimated to be over 60 million people. This bunch in the Oval Office must feel pride in having created the greatest mass migration in the history of mankind.
This is the result when ignorance, supreme arrogance, and incompetence is elected to power.
The media has attempted to cover the lies, with terms such as ‘fog of war’ — as if somehow, getting caught lying to America and the world, can be excused by ‘fog’. Sure. They knew the cause, but they lied for political reasons and to hide the real objective of their half-witted plans for arms movements managed out of Benghazi.
There was no fog. But there is unparalleled destruction of lives, and the disintegration of whole societies, nations, and borders.
A constituent of the vast baby boomer generation with a career which has been fortunate to know the ponderous corporate worlds, as well as the intimately pressurized, and invigorating entrepreneurial domains of high tech and venture capital, I have harvested my share of mistakes meandering through corridors of enterprise from Silicon Valley, to London and endless, colourful, sometimes praetorian points in between. The voyage has provided an abundance of fodder for a pen yielding to an inquisitive keyboard, a foraging mind, and a passionate spirit.
Whether political or business or social or economic or personal, is it not all political? It is a privilege to write, and an even greater privilege to be read by anyone, and sometimes with the wind at my back the writing may occasionally be legible. I do not write to invite scorn, nor to invite respect, but if I get really lucky the writing can stimulate thinking. I also write for the very selfish purpose of animating my own processes, and engaging the best of what life offers. Above all, whether biting fire or swatting shadows, I am grateful to be gifted the freedom to write and publish whatever flows down to the keyboard. To all those who enabled this freedom, and to all those standing guard to preserve it, I am indebted.
