I was spurred to write this essay after Obama's declaration of amnesty by executive fiat.

Useless complicit EXEMPT RINO:
"DO what you want to the dhimmis we both hate.
Just let me clean up after you, My Master, My beloved King."

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
"
President Ronald Reagan

Thank you for taking the time to do this. I am going to print this out and give it to some people I know. Your third topic was conducted either overtly or covertly by none other that The Department of Justice’s FBI, in my opinion.

Newly Uncovered Memo Shows How Holder Got Prepped to Mislead the American People on Fast & Furious

https://www.ijreview.com/2014/11/206721-2-newly-released-docs-trusted-adviser-tells-holder-manipulate-media-fast-furious/

Here are excerpts from Miller’s advice to Holder:

1. Send a letter to the Hill explaining what happened. Put in context the amount of information you get every week, say that you don’t recall reading those bullets or being aware of Fast and Furious at any time before early this year, but in any event, you certainly weren’t aware of the gun walking aspect of it until the news broke earlier this year (at which point you took immediate steps to have the IG investigate, etc.).

This needs to happen tomorrow. In fact, it should’ve happened today. The last time your credibility was directly questioned was whether you had disclosed all of your amicus briefs — the story started to break on a Thursday night, and we made people stay up all night compiling information so we could get a response out by 1 pm or so on Friday.

2. Find a way for you to get in front of a reporter or two about this. You don’t want to call a press conference on this because it will blow things out perspective, but if you have any events in the next few days (preferably tomorrow), you could find a way to take two or three questions on it afterwards.

Or if that’s not easily doable, you could find a way to “run into” a couple of reporters on your way to something. Maybe Pete Williams, Carrie, Pete Yost — that part can be managed. Most important is that you’re in front of a camera in a relaxed manner giving a response you have rehearsed.

It would be ideal if those two things happened in the same day so you didn’t have two news cycles of responding — you want to do it all at once.

There may be things you need to do to go on offense as well, but I think most important right now is that you answer the charge about covering this up. Then you can move to offense.
Earlier this month, additional recently-released internal email shows Holder’s contempt for Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee:

“Issa and his idiot cronies never gave a damn about this when all that was happening was that thousands of Mexicans were being killed with guns from our country. All they want to do — in reality — is cripple ATF and suck up to the gun lobby. Politics at its worst.”
It’s interesting that during a scandal on gun-running gone bad, Holder’s mind would leap to the implications of gun control. Then again, when don’t people in the Obama administration think about politics, rather than the lives of innocent civilians and border patrol agents like Brian Terry?

Judging by the discussion between Holder and Miller about how to best manipulate the media, the outgoing attorney general’s assertion that “Issa and his idiot cronies” were simply playing politics is ironic to say the least. But getting a close-up view of how Holder & Co. stage-manage the media for mass consumption is revealing, indeed.

As with every narrative you generate, you can’t put one thing as the money quote - because the whole thing is quotable.

Another masterful work, old man!

This is a must-read essay by all Freepers and patriots.

Matt, thank you for connecting the dots and for putting into words what many of us are feeling, but could not adequately express.

You have put your finger on what is actually occurring almost in slow motion before our eyes—the re-creation of a Nazi Germany-like totalitarian state right here in the USA!

Only this time, there will not be, as happened 70 years ago, a United States of America who will free us from tyranny like we rescued Europe from the Nazis in WW2.

Our nation is in mortal danger. This is not hype in the least. As you describe, the levers of restraint against Obama that we all think will kick in are already cut or severely compromised, just as in Germany 80 years ago.

I used to wonder how a technically advanced, educated nation like Germany could descend into totalitarian madness under Hitler like Germany did in the 1930s.

I no longer wonder. It is happening under our very eyes, today, here in America.

It remains to be seen whether the GOP will rise to the challenge of this generation in 2015, to block or to remove Obama. It is not looking very hopeful.

Once again, you have used your innate gift of expressing the written word to illuminate and to educate us, Matt.

Thank you very much.

Outstanding essay. I no longer think the solution to the Emperor Obama and his Marxist henchmen problem will come from within the existing system. There must be an enormous change from outside box to save the US or create something worthy from the ashes.

Thanks Travis. Once again you nail it.

A few thoughts while reading:

...it must be accepted as a given that the Obama administration has already crossed the murder Rubicon.

This cannot be underestimated. Fast and Furious was the first salve. To willfully have people die for the political position of denying 2nd amendment rights is something out of a spy novel. But it is not. If it were not for the incompetence and lack of foresight with Fast and Furious, I should tremble. They are, after all, idiots, evil idiots.

I believe F&F was laying the ground work for flooding the border. I am just connecting the dots that may not be connected.

F&F was just one of the many diabolical schemes being foisted on America. I believe that we have not seen the end of these schemes.

ABCNNBCBS are fully integrated with the Administration...not just willing accomplices, IOW, the powers-that-be in these organs just do not blindly take orders, they are obviously aware of game plans and objectives. Otherwise they would have a seat at the table with a list of their own demands. These organs share the same capacity for taking down the administration, wholesale...but what is in it for them if they do not?

Blackmail is their way but I'd bet a dozen doughnuts that many in the Admin, including Obama, have dirty laundry.

I speculate that Obama himself is being set up. I have no proof. I will leave it at that.

But Obama is no Hitler. Hitler received 5 medals for bravery during WW 1. He can be audacious, indeed as you would expect a con-man, but he lacks the intestinal fortitude of real men. Obama is definitely not the brains of the administration.

It is the way of the community organizer, once known as a communist agitator, to foment as much chaos and strife. It appears to me that President Spite will move on from amnesty to something just as far-reaching and sinister.

My thoughts.

Travis-

Thanks for writing this provacative article. I read “In the Garden of Beasts” several months ago and found the parallels to the current administration to be chilling.

As a complete aside, I highly recommend another book by Eric Larson - “The Devil in the White City” about the building of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair intertwined with the story of a serial killer.

You are preaching to the choir here in FR, but hopefully your excellent article will go viral.

Thanks for the ping and for taking the time to compose this piece...

I’ve forwarded it to my email contacts...needs to be disseminated far and wide, especially for the ambivalent.

Those who have been essentially “ignoring” recent events as abherrations need to get shaken up.

Nice summary of facts, but the overarching theme - that the Feds control the media - was indelibly obvious to me ever since my own experiences off the coast during the fall of Saigon and during the Mayaguez Incident.

Even now, at this very moment, reading the internet: all I know for sure is that there are certain pixel-generated language symbols and images appearing on my screen. They implicitly promise to represent the truth. I may buy that, but I buy it at my own risk.

As Mark Twain once said, “History may not repeat itself, but it surely does rhyme.”

It’s there for those with the eyes and the will to see.

There is only one way to stop this.
