CIA, Benghazi, IRS and Employment Report

As I wrote in my May 11, 2013 blog, Ambassador Stevens was in Libya to locate guns and shoulder fired missiles that were given to the rebels and the ambassador was attempting to find them to give to the Syrian rebels.  That is why he was meeting with the Turkey representative just hours before the Benghazi attack.  This administration was running guns to the Syrian rebels using Turkey as the 3rd party to avoid being implicated in giving the rebels guns that was not actually approved by Congress.  Now as I reported previously, this ambassador worked closely with the CIA on special operations.  We now have CNN reporting that there were approximately 30 CIA operatives on the ground during the Benghazi attack and some were wounded.  But we have also learned these operatives are being threatened if they tell what happen that night.  This administration is doing their best again to hide the truth on all these scandals and where is the media?  It is surprising that even CNN reported this.  But since their viewers are decreasing, maybe they realize if they report the news honestly, they might get viewers to return.  But, you can rest assured the Obama administration will speak to them and this behavior of reporting the truth on this administration will cease.  This administration is lying on Benghazi, AP and James Rosen (FOX reporter) scandal, IRS scandal, Fast and Furious and DOJ involvement and the State Department sex scandal.  It seems just about every week we hear of a new scandal.   Even yesterday, at the IRS congressional hearings we learned that Lois Leaner was contacting the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on all those conservative groups that, contrary to what the democrats think, is a crime.    Lets see where this goes.  I am sure next week we will learn of another scandal.  This is the most corrupt administration in the last 100 years and makes the Nixon administration look saintly.  If you speak out against this administration, you must be careful and look over your shoulder for there may be some black ops guys there.   

The latest employment report issued today shows that the unemployment number dropped to 7.4% from 7.6% that on the surface seems good.  However, as all business networks have reported, don't celebrate just yet.  We have seen the number of employed drop to 63.4% and this keeps going down every month.  The number of full times jobs were down and the numbers originally given in May and June had to be revised downward also.  Over 200,000 people have given up looking for work and this is part of the reason for the drop to 7.4%.  This employment number is not good, has not been good under this president and his social engineering programs and will get worse if Obamacare is fully implemented as employers will reduce their workforce or cut employees hours.  Of course, this logic escapes the academics in this administration.  But as I said many times before, if you have no real work experience and only book knowledge, you will not see the situation improve.  The first 4 year of this administration, President Obama blamed President Bush and it seems the next 4 years it will be the republicans in congress, the rich employers and the lack of another stimulus.  We know the $850 billion stimulus was a joke and most of the money went to green jobs that failed but served to reimburse his political supporters, and to union workers.  Little is mentioned about this, but the stimulus specified that only union workers could be hired on the stimulus dollar.  We also know the jobs were not shovel ready and with the upcoming elections in 2014, this president wants to get tax dollars out to his political supporters of they can come back to him in campaign contributions. 

To compound our economic situation, it seems the Fed will continue to print approximately $85 Billion a month to prop up the stock market even though they claim it is to help the economy.  Every month they print money, every month your savings (if you have any) is worth less.  The more they print, the less your currency is valued.  Common since, but not many are reporting on this fact.  Furthermore, if and when the Fed stops printing money, you will see the stock market drop to around 12,000 if not more.  Print money and the market goes up.  Investors know this.  Stop printing and you will see the investors selling to get their money out and maybe put them into bonds that will go up.  The average citizen gets screwed either way and yet this president likes to demagogue the so called fat cats and yet he is behind this.    As I have said, it is not what this president says, it is what he does.  You must watch both hands.

Politics, corruption and debt

Our political system has become too complicated and corrupt.  Every single candidate lies to get elected and then sells his soul to the special interest groups who gave him the money to run his campaign.  We have a bludgeoning deficit that will soon be over $17 Trillion and it seems the mainstream news media is not outraged and neither is our elected representatives.  If they were, they would be moving to cut spending and give us a balance budget that would reduce the deficit rather than promote their 10 year deficit reduction plan that actually increases the deficit, but only at a slightly slower pace then we are seeing today.  Instead of leadership, we get self-centered, narcissistic idiots either giving campaign speeches, claiming the scandals are phony and more interested in the next election over the future of this country.  In addition, we are going to spend $700 million on advertising Obamacare, but only in those states that will be competitive in the next election.  Our Tax dollars used for a political party. 

Our elected officials engage in partisan politics only interested in their maintaining their position in the capital of corruption while spending billions of dollars in the various agencies, many of which should be abolished, but are used to gain more government control over We The People.  They are more interested in power rather than actually address the real issues, that if not addressed, could destroy this country.   When you have egomaniac elected officials in both parties, can you expect otherwise.

A few more thoughts on various subjects

So we have a Mayor in San Diego who likes to touch women without their permission and another mayoral candidate, Anthony Weiner who likes to send photos of himself or should I say various parts of his anatomy to females. (Makes you want to throw up)  I thought it would be great if these two sexual predators could run for president under the democratic ticket in 2016.  This would relieve the republicans of the criticism that they are doing a war on women.   Notice that when republican senatorial candidate Aiken responded to a question on abortion rights in the last election, the democrats and other liberal news media when berserk.  But up until today, we heard nothing from democratic leaders.  How quickly this president spoke out about police acting stupidly and "if I had a son it would like Treyvon Martin" and yet, nothing on this.  But then again, Benghazi, IRS, NSA and DOJ scandal are really phony scandals.  Tell that to the victims. 

Today, president Obama held a dinner for Muslims in celebration of Ramadan.  Yet, I do not recall a dinner for Christians and Jews on their holy days.  But, we have an administration that is involved in a war on religion, particularly Christianity, in an attempt to remove all religious symbols from our military and other government buildings.  His presidency has shown sympathy for Islam and has made sure his administration does not say anything offensive towards that religion, but other religions are fair game.  After all, his administration cannot use the phrase, "War on Islamic Terrorism".  And we might add, today the Ft. Hood shooter has admitted he did what he did because of our military's war against Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq.   I do not know if Catholic, Protestants, Jews or other non Islam religions crashed planes into the Twin Towers, Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania.   But this administration still calls it workplace violence.  Only proves my point. 

Our Freedoms Disappearing?


In Germany under Hitler they rounded up those that were a threat to their agenda and their government.  We rounded up Japanese citizens during WW II claiming they may be a threat to our government.  We now have the NSA and IRS spying on us and the NSA recording and documenting all our electronic communications.  It was even reported that the NSA has or is seeking to gain access to all Email passwords from Email providers.  Just think about that for a few minutes.  Imagine gaining access to you Email accounts, reading your Emails, even sending out Emails to others that could be threatening, sexual in nature or ordering items through your Email.  After all, you can rest assured they already have you credit card account numbers.  This is government out of control and not complying with our constitution.  This is not the former Soviet Union, Cuba, China or Venezuela, but the United States where We The People are suppose to have government subject to the people.  Instead we have government ruling us through regulations bypassing Congress and the Section 8 of our Constitution.  In 1776 we revolted against being subjects and a dictator or at that time, King George III.  We are slipping gradually into a totalitarian government that both parties have taken part in whether consciously or unconsciously.   At least We The People have been unconscious.   

A good read would by Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn "The Gulag Archipelago" which came out in 1974 and explains how great life is when government controls everything (Sarcasm meant here)  This is where we are heading when we have a president insisting on bypassing congress by using government agencies to issue regulations to the detriment of companies, business, employers and employees.   

A government under the control of academics rather than those who actually have work experience, is a government failing the people and a government destroying the country.  Think about it.  What work experience does this president and those that surround him that make everyday decisions that are adversely affecting all of us under the belief that they are better educated than the average American and they know better.  If everyone would get pass their political affiliation and actually give thought to this, they will see a country failing through decisions by incompetent people.  Not that the republicans are that much better, since both parties only want the power, but it is the democrats in control and the people that are suffering.   

This president and his cronies are using Chicago politics by using the FBI, NSA, IRS, DHS and any other agencies to collect information on all their opponents to use that information in a subtle way by releasing it to the public and playing dumb.  When government has this much power, we may never see another fair election and only those that follow in this administration's foot steps will win, we are in serious trouble.  Unless we wake up as a people and demand adherence our constitution by all our elected officials, we are lost as a freedom loving country and will end up in the heap of lost democracies that had a good idea, but thought government handouts and government control was better than individual control of their lives.  The elections in 2014 and 2016 will tells us what direction we travel.  Freedom or Tyranny.  The choice is ours.

$700 Million to advertise Obamacare


The Obama administration is going to spend $700 million to advertise the Affordable Care Act to get young people to sign up.  If the young people, who generally do not have health insurance as a priority in their life if they are healthy, are not expected to sign up which creates a funding problem for this entire monstrosity AKA Obamacare.  This act requires the money from the young to help pay for the older citizens that may require more medical treatment as they age.  Another Ponzi scheme. So, if they do not get the young adult to sign on the dotted line, you can expect a reduction in benefits for those at the other end of the age spectrum.  The young adult would be better off paying the penalty that is much cheaper than signing up.  In fact, since there are no pre existing conditions that can deny coverage, they can wait until they become sick that may require surgery or additional medical attention and then sign up.

The problem with the $700 million expense is that it will only be spent in those states where elections of democrats are in play. So, the government is using taxpayer money to campaign for democratic candidates using Obamacare as a subterfuge.  Just another one of those phony scandals.  Last election they used the IRS and NSA spying to collect information on their opponents and now they are more brazen using taxpayer money.  Another in your face where they are telling you to go screw yourself and we will do what we want to do and you cannot stop us.  Just another thing to think about on how corrupt our elected officials are using their power to better themselves and their political affiliations.  If you think things are bad today, imagine how corrupt things will be if the democrats win back control of the House and keep control of the Senate.  You will not recognize the country by 2016, if we even exist by that time and will may never see another opposition candidate or candidates get elected to the presidency in the next 75 years, that is if we even have another honest election.   Again we are talking about $700 million that is not pocket change.  The amazing thing is we could have used that money to help in the Sequester and the $50 to $100 million it costs for the Obama's useless trip to Africa.  But, when it is not coming out of your own pocket, again who cares.  The We The People is becoming Me The President.

Weiner and company

In NYC we have Anthony Weiner, a narcissistic and what appears to be a sexually driven pervert  candidate for mayor that seems to think he is eminently qualified to fill the position.  We also have client #9, Eliot Spitzer, who also believes he is eminently qualified to be Comptroller for NYC.  It appears that Honesty, Integrity, Trust and moral values are not required to fill an elected position.  This is not just a democratic issue since we have seen republicans also involved in sexual discretions.  And yet, we still seem to want to elect these dysfunctional politicians to represent us.  If they are not honest, trustworthy, have good moral values and have integrity in their personal life, what assurances is there they will be different if elected.  They lie, cheat, defraud and have a lust for power over actually representing their electorate.  If NYC actually elects either one of these narcissistic individuals, then they deserve what will follow.  We wonder why we see the corruption and scandals in the federal government and Congress not addressing our bulging deficit and deception from Congress to the White House on issues. 
 
When you elect liars and candidates with no moral character, you get what you elect.  Character does matter.  I know we have a lot of characters in government today, but that is not the character I am referring about.   When will the voters awaken or must we go through a government collapse and a lost of our constitutional rights before we realize the threats that we as citizens are facing. Our rights are slowly be taken away and yet, we continue to have jerks like the two NYC candidates attempting a comeback because of their lust for power and not the desire to serve their constituents.   Neither one of these candidates as well as many others of both parties, including the president, could not hold a real job and are clueless what that entails.  Rest assured, if the Weiner is not elected mayor, some other idiot will offer him some form of government appointed position.  If he does not get a government position, he will wind up on the street or even behind bars as he continues in sexual exploits.   A loser by any other name is still a loser. But we also know, NYC is a predominantly liberal city and have no problem electing people of low moral values since as long as you are a liberal, what ever else you do, does not matter.

Additional thoughts

A question to ask your Congressional Representatives. 

Some of the illegals coming over the Mexico border have paid between $20,000 to $50,000 to be brought into this country.  If these people are some poor as the liberal news media would like us to believe, where are they getting the money or better yet, who is supplying the money and why?  What are they up to?  If they had that much money in their family, why leave Mexico where the money could last longer in Mexico than in the United States.  So again, what is really going on?  Where is Congress on this issue? 

With the ongoing and never ending news on how racist we are in this country over the Treyvon Martin trial,  what many black do not understand or want to be understand is that the Democratic party was the reason that blacks were kept down for over 100 years.  If you were black in the 1800's and supported the republicans or were white and a republican, you had an excellent chance of being hanged from a tree.  And doing the hanging were democrats dressed as KKK members in most cases.  Now this is true and cannot be denied by the democrats.   The first black and only black Speaker of the House in 1869 was a republican.  There were approximately 21 blacks elected to Congress and one to the Senate around that time to the dismay of the democrats.  In fact, republicans were responsible for the 13th and 14th amendments to the constitution to benefit blacks over the objections of the democrats.  History has shown that democratic Pres. Woodrow Wilson did his best to discriminate against blacks.  A civil rights bill could not be passed during the FDR administration and Pres. Eisenhower attempted to pass one during his administration, but did not have republicans in control  of the Senate or House.  Again, JFK tired, but failed even with controlling both houses.  However, LBJ saw the benefits of the black vote and attempted to pass a civil rights bill and only through the support of the overwhelming support of the republicans, did the 1964 civil rights bill pass.  So with this history in the democratic party, why do blacks support the democrats?  Because they do not know the truth and are fed a bunch of lies through the promises made and government programs enacted to keep them in line.    An interesting book to read by well know historian, David Barton titled, American History in Black and White will tell you about this history and is a quick read of approximately 175 pages.  But it is history we were not taught in schools.  Read the book a few years ago and it is interesting history.
